adlai didn't realise Australia had anywhere you could frolic without becoming a spider's new lifeline
Vex: theres chemicals for that
Vex: I really do appeciate the mention bro
Vex: no one really understands the struggle.
Vex: if I see a big bad huntsman, I put a light on outside and invite him out
Vex: they're never receptive.
Vex: you have to live with it, or smash it with a thong
adlai: old newspapers might be large enough to get some distance between your wrist and the fangs
adlai rarely kills upon first sight
Vex: dude/ you belong here\
Vex: what kinda spiders do you get there?
Vex: huntsman in th house is a whole to do
Vex: gotta get a big jar and a bit of cardboard, start twitching & skipping
Vex: worst bit about it is, the spider starts freaking out too
Vex: you can just leave it, but fuck that
Vex: it's like fireworks inside
Vex: it's gotta be done
Vex: I was just trying to tell you how much I appreciate the love, now I'm talking shit.

Vex: the shotty; under the bed
Vex: prolly. they're sketchy af
adlai: they obviously hunt in primarily acoustic territory, although that does not mean they can distinguish between you whispering and wind around the rooftop gutters
Vex: snakes do. they will fuck right off if you stomp your feet
Vex: big funky spiders are awesome outside of your abode
Vex: catch & release. somewhere else
Vex: fuck those cunts.. forever problems like the nipah. diseased af
