This anecdote is for anyone who believes I have some sort of social superpower or that I'm good at catching social cues.

At a recent kink event, someone was trying to remember my name after recognizing me at a different event. They then mentioned an art museum, and narrated the path from the entrance to a specific mural with "the most beautiful woman I've ever seen" and said I reminded them of that mural.

I only just realized that it was a really smooth compliment and not about getting me interested in an art museum (I love art museums already).

NGL when I heard them say that I thought it was the smoothest fucking thing I've heard in a hot minute~

It induced a big blush today when it hit me   

I think part of me realized it live, because I remember taking my hoodie off around then (skin got warm suddenly), but my brain only caught up today.

@h3mmy omg ngl in the moment I thought you were taking your hoodie off to show off your tattoo more!

@xYourEmoGFx
I thought I did that with the taking the arm out of the sleeve and then I put it back in. And then I took it off fully afterwards with "more of the tattoo" as a bonus. Now, I'm unsure of the sequence   

It was the taking out of the arm that seemed to trigger the art description, IIRC.

It's also apt that the compliment reached across time to hit me, much like how art reached across time to make us feel things.

@h3mmy I thought it was about the art until you mentioned it, so I probably would have done the same.
