It is so fascinating watching Office season 9 with my husband (who is seeing it for the first time), because he gets the Jim/Pam conflict, but he's also like, "I don't...really see what the issue is? Like, it's just Philly, it wouldn't be a big deal to move there."
And I'm over here going THEY?? HAVE LIVED THEIR ENTIRE LIVES in or around Scranton?? Where their parents are? And they have a HOUSE?? (That Jim grew up in??) It would be such a big deal to exchange EVERYTHING they know!
(Also, hi, have you met us? Who have also lived our entire lives in or around the same town along with our parents???) [that's mostly my doing 'cause I love it here but still]
And he shrugs and says, "yeah, but when I went to college that was fine, and if I'd found a job there I wouldn't have minded staying in that area." And then he reminds me that like Jim, he is also in a fairly boring and soulless white collar job he doesn't like, and will probably do forever because it's stable and decently-paying, but if he had a chance to do something he DOES enjoy? He fully understands why Jim leaped at the opportunity and has done everything he's done since, at least up to roughly where we are (just a couple episodes past Christmas).
Which...huh. He has a point.
The best part about having this perspective is that while I've watched Jim/Pam clips and gifsets, I don't think I've actually watched the season in full since it aired, 10+ years ago. At which time I was not only single, but had never been in a relationship. The view from the other side!!

Finally a new sketchbook spread! This one with watercolours now and boy have I missed them. This is just an another random Modern Au mixed with an office au in which Thorin is a ceo of a large company and Bilbo is his trusty assistant. There was a big heatwave a while ago and it inspired me to create this piece! Thorin with short hair was pretty fun to draw, and honestly he could rock any hairstyle.

I got a vorish dream with a random big bad boss somehow
That guy was called ‘The Pilot’ for some reason, such an abstract title.
