He sure hit the sweet spot.

But also I've noticed that even my dumb Bwitter posts trend, so it might just be the imPort thing.

[aboveand]

I know we started this whole thing just to see if we can, but...

Where do we go from here?

[eloquentness]

we have a couple of options. We keep going or we set it aside.

If we do the former,companies will want to sponsor Ace and his #imPortantace hashtags. (Check the DMs!!) You'll have to decide whether you'll want that, and if you do, how to balance that content with photos and general life updates.

[aboveand]

Okay, how do you know so much about this?

[eloquentness]

Schmoogle.

But also, I was a journalist back home. I learned pretty quick how to navigate social media. :)

[aboveand]

You must not have been that good of a journalist if you had all that free time to research dog sponsorships. :P

[eloquentness]

when they're offering that much $$$, you want to MAKE the time.

[aboveand]

So you think we should do it? It's not like a conflict of interest or something?

[eloquentness]

Not necessarily.

It all depends on what you want to do with this Instagrahm and how you want to keep it going. I can send you links as to how other blogs are doing? There's no right or wrong answer here.

[aboveand]

I've never thought of it, honestly. I just thought it would be funny to post pictures of Ace online.

Everything past that is just... weird.

[eloquentness]

In that case, let's tell them no. :)

[ Easiest decision. ]

Sponsorships would just get in the way of funny pictures, right?
It's better that you keep doing that without having to take awkward product placement-y pics. Or being forced to write reviews for stuff you don't believe in.

You COULD still have Ace make appearances, though. That wouldn't conflict with anything.

[aboveand]

Yeah, that's probably for the best. Ace should always be his authentic self.

[Lying should only be reserved for crimefighting.]

You know, it's funny. Ace was originally a guard dog.

[eloquentness]

Really! 😲

I would’ve never guessed. Does he still feel the need to protect your place?

[aboveand]

He feels the need to protect ME sometimes but I'm getting him used to new situations.

Which is also funny because he hated me when we first met too.

[eloquentness]

lmao, some habits are hard to let go of.

He was your boss's dog, right? Must've been overprotective of him.

[aboveand]

You have no idea.

[...He might have deserved it.]

[eloquentness]

That sounds like a story... :O Spill!

[aboveand]

Basically, back home my boss used to be this miserable hermit recluse in his big manor on a hill. One of the few times he went into the city--this was way before I met him btw--he gets attacked by a Joker. Ace comes outta nowhere and takes him out, but not before he got hurt. Boss gets him fixed up, and the two were inseparable ever since.

[Okay, Terry takes some liberties with this story, but "old man takes out Joker after injuring dog" is not something he should probably disclose.]

I'm pretty sure Ace is the only living being the old man actually LIKES.

[eloquentness]

Whoa.

That's really brave of Ace, especially if he had no idea who your boss was.

[ but if the old man is that grumpy, he also sounds... kind of sad. ]

Your boss had you too, don't forget.
Those grumps wouldn't know how to express feelings if it hit them in the face. (:

[aboveand]

He's that kind of dog.

[Oh, his boss is very sad.]

Eh, he just put up with me. He liked my young legs for running around and getting him things.

[eloquentness]

There is no way that last sentence is true. :P If he's that miserly, he must've seen SOMETHING in you.

[aboveand]

I used to think so.

[A second text comes quickly after.]

But then I realized the guy is just a major tool.

[eloquentness]

What prompted that realization?

[aboveand]

Time.

[And that's all he really wants to say on the matter.]
