still in awe at the ~80 year old programmer i had the pleasure of getting to know today. he had so much (still working and maintained!) hardware from decades before my parents even met.

he's gone through it all; the relative infancy of computers, the x86 tech boom, the widespread adoption of the internet. and yet, through the radical changes through the decades, his fiery passion for tech never ceased.

i aspire to be as cool as him one day.

Who is your celebrity crush? Kelly Macdonald.

Would you choose fame or anonymity? I’d like to do what I do, but anonymously.

What is your guiltiest pleasure? My son and I have just discovered a Netflix show called Is It Cake?.

What does love feel like? Not feeling like you have to be anywhere else.

What was the best kiss of your life? My wife when I was 16. We met at school. It was my first kiss, but I lied and said it was my fourth. It definitely wasn’t her first kiss.

What has been your biggest disappointment? When I left drama school, I thought I was going to work at the Royal Court and tell stories about political injustice. I got cast in ITV murder mysteries.

When was the last time you changed your mind about something significant? I was doing a film and this morning I pulled out.

How often do you have sex? Often enough.

Would you rather have more sex, money or fame? I think fame and money are totally overrated.

What is the most important lesson life has taught you? In the last few years, that you can’t be sure of anything.

who's everyone's random lil crush? like not sports based bc I'm a sports blog. not a big celebrity like Timothee Chalamet or Margot Robbie or something. someone who's like- known but maybe only by a certain group of people. an internet personality perhaps? who's your little guy?

The fact that Hee-Ryang knows Yeonjo is planning to kill him but still took him on a romantic camping trip is why he is my absolute favourite.

the craziest beta 'mon is this guy, who would evolve into a random Pokemon upon evolution

like imagine finding this autism creature fighting for its life out in the wild so you catch it out of pity and two months later it evolves into goddamn Rayquaza

bringing it up again for the millionth time but I'm still obsessed with the way that hannibal lecter is canonically aware of the narrative not because its ever explicitly stated but because the author who created him genuinely believes this to be true and stopped writing the book series because he's afraid of him

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.
