In the unlikely event that I end up in another relationship, what the hell is the right answer to the worm question? I’m pretty damn sure I’d get it wrong.

My ex told me they would build me the most beautiful worm house and then go on a quest to track down the wizard who cursed me. I thought that was beautiful.

The problem is that my brain would immediately jump to picking apart the premise of the question. How did it happen? Is it permanent? Is your consciousness trapped in there or is it gone forever? The kind of thing that’s obviously just going to piss off the person asking.
I feel like what the question is really asking in a very roundabout way is whether you love that person unconditionally. That even if something happens such that they can no longer be the person you fell in love with, that you’ll still love them just the same. But that’s the problem: as a cynic, I believe all love is conditional; if it doesn’t seem like it, that just means you haven’t found out what the conditions are yet.
Obviously that’s not the right answer. So to me, it just seems like the question is a trap. Either you accept the preposterous hypothetical and give some sappy answer to make the other person happy and avoid a fight, or you get outed for the cold, unfeeling asshole that you actually are inside. But maybe that’s the point.

What is the worm question?

Not to play. It’s an escalation to more unhinged behavior seeking validation.

Yeah I think maybe it’s just a cute little question that went viral. You might be reading too far into it.

To my axolotl this is like looking at a McDonalds poster.

Anyone else play worms at sleepovers where you’d get in the sleeping bags and pretends the bag is your worm body and then you worm all over each other in a battle Royale with cheese?
