He knew she would turn around and walk out the door again. But instead, she stuck her right hand out to him. “Ellen Thompson.” “Chuck Grant.”

how do y'all get over the anxiety of commenting on writers' fics who you think are beyond the level any engagement you can possibly provide? Genuine question like what are your tips.

like there is a lot to say abt fandom that is negative (crowd mentality, lack of nuance, bullying, stark belief in societal norms so it becomes a very traditional space etc) but i think the main reson its not for me is bc a lot of ppl just use "canon" as something to be disregarded. which is like (morally) completely fine i just do not get it bc like... the story whats its in like... the actual written text the things happening is surely the thing to like abt any actual... uh... story? right? so to disregard it all to just idk play around in it to me is just not appealing at all. like at that point i would just move on and write my own original story heavily inspired by the original thing...

the other day this really tall guy IMed me to ask if I quote "got a new gig" and I'm riding that high a day later honestly. the tallness isn't why but it is the main image of him in my brain and when I travel he's my #1 best friend or else target for work politics reasons because if I make him love me then I have an enormous ally who can help me make more work politics friends. his skillset in large meetings is very close to my natural strengths so if I can get people who love him to know who I am I'm pretty sure they'll love me, allowing me to more freely spend political capital to do actual shit that matters. but how do I find out his dinner plans are in the sense of who's his dinner clique. he may be too polite and unrelated to my circle for this to work but oh well I guess I'll rehearse topics for my #2 on the bffsies hit list

To add to the anon about the guys not seeming to care anymore, I did meet them at a show over the summer and it sort of felt...stiff and bland, I guess would be the best way to put it. Alex was so so nice since I was so so shy. He stepped up first and obviously took the lead. Jack was too busy grabbing a drink from someone. Zack and Rian were...there? I made them all laugh, but I don't remember what I said. Alex no way wanted to touch anyone. No one. At all. No hugs. Nothing. I brushed against his arm and that was about it. No other hugs. No one wanted to be personal, ask a name, say thank you, nothing. Overall, I'm saying they were nice, super nice. But the entire vibe was really giving conveyer belt and the guys were indifferent to being there. I totally understand being tired or doing the same thing over and over every single day, but I really saw that for what it was. Nice guys reluctantly present.

goddd this so diplomatically well put and disappointing! On one hand, we understand the reluctance to be extra touchy or silly, right? But at the same time you're PAYING decent money to be on that fucking conveyor belt! You're putting pennies towards the farm ~tenant house remodel and gas guzzling rv trips for what? Even them at their best is a quick few seconds of polite interaction and not the long lost potential of chatty, personal moment of possibility to feel real or normal. A cute pic might be worth it to a lot dopes but people paying for this stuff keeps telling them it's ok and even on their best behavior it shouldn't be. Harking back to the prev, I guess pondering if they care is already a terrible measurement because what they used to be so fucking good at was making the business of it all feel personal, and now even if they really do care, the business structure is too apparent to feel personal. No amount of money is giving you what was free 8 years ago.

I didn't know alex song-xia before mentopolis but the way I just immediately fell in love with them 😭 their comedic timing and creativity came out of nowhere for me (who is mostly here for hank green) and I am so delighted and wowed. they really bring conrad to life and bring me so much joy

not me catching feelings for one of my castmates...

i’m trying to look into the reasons behind why it’s so difficult for me to block people i know beyond the internet which sucks because all i get are quora questions like “is it okay for me to block someone for harassing me 🥺” or alternatively “blocking people on social media is cowardly” neither of which have much to do w the question i’m asking 😭

People call kazumaji one sided and theyre kind of right but i find it so funny to think if majima gets incapacitated one day and kiryu is walking the streets with an unloaded pistol in his belt (bait for frisking) like where is officer majima :(( he said hed be near the batting center ... because hes been so spoiled by the constant attention that when his stalker disappears hes like im so bored and alone ...
