digital footprint? erm not to sound judgemental but I don’t believe my digital has feet.

First I binge watched all of 30 Rock. (I say "binge watch." I generally average about one episode a day while eating breakfast or lunch.)

Then I binge watched all of Community. I just finished the sixth season this week. The finale totally made me cry. (Yes, I know the movie is coming soon on Peacock. Yay!) #sixseasonsandamovie

And now today I've started watching one of my childhood favorites, Soap.

As I was watching the first episode this morning I was noticing how old Katherine Helmond, Richard Mulligan, and the other "adults" looked. So I got online. Katherine Helmond (Jessica Tate) was 51 years old. Cathryn Damon (Mary Campbell) was 45 years old, Robert Mandan (Chester Tate) was 46 years old, and Richard Mulligan (Burt Campbell) was 45 years old. Even Robert Guillaume (Benson) was only 49!

I'm 52 years old! Older than them all! Who am I to say they're looking old?? Look in the mirror, Dave!

BTW: I'm older than Jon Hamm by ONE DAY! I think that means I'm as handsome as him, except one day older.

Note: I know that's not Robert Guillaume in the cast photo. When Robert Guillaume left Soap for the spin-off show "Benson," Roscoe Lee Browne ("Box" from Logan's Run - yes, I'm a nerd) was brought in as the new butler.

And completely tangential - John Houseman and Roscoe Lee Browne are in my heart forever!

And for those who might not be familiar with Logan's Run, here is "Box" with a frozen walrus. It's cold down there.

And for those who ARE familiar with Logan's Run - on my 30th birthday I totally went to carousel. There's a carousel on the pier in Santa Monica, and I worked just down the street from it. Lunch time birthday party! I also have a Logan's Run poster, t-shirt, all the books, and I got to meet the author before he died and we had a very lovely conversation. (Except it was kind of sad because I was the only one who knew who he was, and he looked so lonely! This was at the UCLA Festival of Books, where I also met Neil Gaiman before he became the star he is now and he didn't have a line either!)

An electrical engineering major at Penn State just clinched the first US men's gymnastics team medal in a generation with his routine in the pommel horse, his only event.

He's two shades paler than even the other white guys on the team, he wears glasses that would be appropriate for a stock IT character in a serial crime drama on CBS, he squints at the apparatus when he takes the glasses off, and he fucking nailed it.

I love this guy so much.

Please start on Pheonix being the repressed one between him and Edgeworth. I beg. (I agree wholeheartedly but I need need NEED to see someone else talk about it lmao.)

oh sure, absolutely

y'know i'm always thinking about how opposite some of their character traits seem to be between canon and fanon. (which is a whole 'nother subtopic in itself) I'm always ready to talk about Phoenix being a pain in the ass lmao

i've found that the most damning evidence is literally in Phoenix's dialogue. tbh the only reason why Phoenix seems to be such an open book is because he's the only character whose inner thoughts and private monologues are bared to the audience. A lot of his expressive thoughts are just... thoughts. So what do we actually know?

This guy has secrets on secrets. You're telling me his lifelong friend Larry had no clue that he was agonizing over a childhood memory (about their mutual bff) that changed the trajectory of his entire life?? Like how long did you stew in that one, Phoenix?

oh yeah, 15 YEARS.

He's got all these great friends that he knows so well, but nobody knows a thing about him or how he's feeling (and they've tried). I'm talking about his goals, passions, problems, history- whatever. Any time a person from Phoenix's past shows up, it's never until he's pushed to the edge before he's forced ready to share.

Much like when Edgeworth dies, Phoenix can't stand to think about him much less hear his name. Nor can he explain why he's so evasive, even when Edgeworth comes back from the dead. And then Phoenix is still being aggressive and dishonest about it. Maybe it'll take another 15 years until he's ready again.

In comparison, while Edgeworth is pretty secretive himself, he's always been pretty open about his reasons why and how he's feeling.

"I'm not doing this to prove I'm tough, or because I look down on you. I just don't want you anywhere near this case. Understand?"

For a guy that talks about unnecessary feelings, he's pretty vocal about 'em, even if they're spoken about in a roundabout manner. It's clear that he doesn't particularly like talking feelings, but he does talk about them.

I think people often confuse their overlying temperaments, Phoenix being more emotive and Edgeworth being more aloof, with their actual words/actions. Phoenix may be more talkative, but he's picky about what he likes to talk about and Edgeworth is a man of fewer words but he'll talk about things that are important.

Hey we are CUTE

[insufferablemod]

I'm also super torn on whether or not Dave was homeschooled, but what if Bro just kind of... Did neither? Or maybe Dave went to like kindergarten/Pre-K or like first grade and then Bro pulled him? Just very minimal schooling. It's so tough!

i use 2 be fully on the home school side but then these three posts made me reconsider... n now im unsure which way i lean......

I love weirdos. I love people who have walls covered with manga pages and anime posters. I love people who have way too many stuffed animals and toys strewn about. I love people who have little space in their rooms and homes because they’re full of bookshelves for their figures, manga, books, comics, toys, etc. I love people who wear weird things like “cringe” merch, stuffed animal bags, cloaks, capes, etc. I love people who experiment with unconventional makeup. I love people with mullets or shaved heads. I love people who complete their looks with fishnets and colored contacts. I love people who have half finished cosplays in their closets. I love people who write and read fanfiction. I love people who make fan art, whether it’s “sellable” or not. I love punks, lolitas (the Japanese alt scene), scene queens, emos, bimbos, femmes, butches, studs, drag performers, etc. I love furries and therians. I love witches and pagans. I love the people on the outskirts. The weirdos. The freaks. The undesirables. Because in them I don’t just see myself, I see joy. The reality that life can be lived authentically in countless ways. I see that we cannot be doomed to conformity or homogeny. We are vibrant, we are beautiful. We are worth saving. Life is good. Life is fun.
