SURPRISE!! =D

Part 2

Where their friendship started...

[huginsmemory]

Like I get why everyone portrays Bill as a theatrical conman and pathetic but like. He's also canonically incredibly intelligent at least in mathematics and physics (also like, history and all the knowledge he knows???). He helps Ford with the portal schematics and is shown to correct Ford's equations when he's working with Ford. He's legitimately extremely intelligent, and like sure he's a liar and a cheat and a partier so he doesn't fall into the classic 'stereotype' of studious nerdy and intelligent characters like Ford, which is why I think it's not explored in fanon... But that doesn't erase the fact that he's incredibly intelligent!!! Anyways this is my plug to beg people to explore that part of Bill in fan creations since I think that would be cool...

you dont get random lobby squid parties like this anymore

Random thought for today:

Dipper and Mabel Pines have the opportunity to throw the BEST birthday parties every year. Like, their birthday is the last day of summer, the combination of birthday and the day before the new school year is some insane energy for a party.

Oh Alexander, you silly goose.

I have many scenarios in my head of how Dandelion could've met the other Witchers in the books but I do think the funniest is if the Wolf Bros are taking shelter somewhere and Dandelion just falls out of the barn's rafters with the worst party hangover known to man and immediately heaves into a bucket and Geralt - very used to his hardcore partying style - greets him with a casual "Morning Dandy" and Dandelion looks over at everyone with half lidded eyes like the walking dead, grunts something that sounds like "witcher" but could be "morning" and then heaves again

Eskel is not at all surprised that Geralt's bard is Like That because he knows what Geralt tends to attract but Lambert is in the corner grimacing with disgust that this poor excuse of a man is the best friend Geralt's been mooning over for the past 6 years. Could he not get better taste?

Hi love,hope you’re having a beautiful day.

I feel very much at home whenever I’m reading anything you write.guess that’s what lead me into asking you this question.I’ve been struggling with socializing quite a lot.it’s my second year in uni and I haven’t managed to make any friends.I was just thinking how you got through your uni days and did you struggle as well. Please ignore this if you feel uncomfortable talking about the subject.

Hi darling anon!! I had a really lovely day, I hope you did too!!

I'd like to start this answer off a few different ways, and I'm not sure which is best. I'm glad this feels like a safe space for you to talk about some things that may be really sensitive, and I'm sorry you're going through such a struggle. It's hard feeling like there are milestones or expectations you're meant to hit but "missing" them, and it's even harder when you don't exactly know what you've done wrong.

This ask made me reflect on my own time in college. I went to a school on the other side of the country where I didn't know anyone, so I felt immensely stressed about finding "my people" -- especially since I came from an inseparably tight friend group back home.

And, for most of college, I didn't feel like I managed that.

I had friends in the sense that I had people to like... wave to on campus, maybe people I would passively text to hang out, but I didn't have many who understood me deeply. A feeling that lingered a lot during those days was that I was somehow doing college incorrectly -- that I was wasting the years where people built forever friendships.

I was lucky in the sense that I had one phenomenal friend I made as a fluke (we met during orientation and ended up being neighbors in the dorms), but I think a lot about what I would have done if I didn't have her.

I wish I was able to give you some advice here beyond the generic "join clubs!", "find a study group!", "talk to people in your classes!". But I never really solved this problem myself. However, reflecting on my university years now (as someone 5+ years out of university), it would be this:

Sometimes you have to push someone from being a classmate to a friend, a coworker to a friend, an acquaintance to a friend. Sometimes it doesn't happen naturally. You have to be brave and ask someone to get coffee after class, even if you've never talked to them one on one before. And sometimes that won't result in anything -- sometimes they won't click with you. But that's ok.

I look back at college Liquid and wish that they were brave enough to get dinner with the coworkers that they liked. Those coworkers stayed coworkers, but maybe we could have been more if I had been willing to endure the embarrassment of being seen trying.

so have we as a fandom grappled with the fact that there is a non-zero chance that some [or all] of the yellowjackets girls knew and partied with some [or all] of the my chemical romance guys

and yellowjackets-universe mcr absolutely has at LEAST one song about flight 2525, if not a whole-ass concept album

sometimes I think it's a shame that Minthara doesn't do threesomes, (or rather will enter a poly relationship on ultra super RARE occasions, like it may be possible- but it's SUPER hard.) but then I remember that she's tired of them. She's been in soo many body pretzels between two others, three others, four, etc, in her life she literally just wants love now. Then I don't feel so bad.

Thinking a lot about Crowley's 'modern' costume/style when I...

I love that Aziraphale is perceived as having Old Fashioned Unchanging clothes and Crowley dresses 'modern' but he really, really doesn't.

His shirt is in the style of early 20th century men's shirt without the separate collar (those were separate pieces for a long time, like Beelzebub's collar! It's a heavily starched separate item.) and his jacket is very much styled like early 20th century women's jackets were. Not sure about the pants yet.

His Sneaky Spy Turtleneck is an exception of course lol.

WAIT MR BROWN OF BROWN'S WORLD OF CARPETS WEARS A TURTLENECK TO THE BALL HE DOESN'T WEAR ONE AT THE PUB MR BROWN IS A SPY????

man now i gotta rewatch the whole thing again and log turtlenecks

Edit: OK turtleneck log from The Ball:

Mrs Sandwich - no turtleneck

Mr Brown - TURTLENECK. Doubly weird now that he does also still have his damn clipboard and duck headline. Also that he throws himself into the woodchipper so to speak, and magically survives AUDIBLY being crunched up by demons. Could also be a Red Herring turtleneck since it only appears during the Ball, so it could represent Aziraphale not really trusting him, since we know he's been very actively avoiding Mr. Brown forever.

Ms Cheng - suspiciously watching the Hellevator, but NO turtleneck before or after the ball.

Mutt - TURTLENECK!!! Spouse does not. It's a turtleneck UNDER his regular garb. Now I gotta check the invite scene... OK, he has one here too so it may well be a red herring OR the Truest Turtleneck of All. I WAS wondering about "Under no circumstances can I therefore be..." as it's just such an odd phrasing.

Justine - tall collar, bit iffy on calling it a turtleneck but very possible.

Mr Arnold (music guy?) - no turtleneck

Nina and Maggie - interestingly, neither have anything close to a turtleneck

Lady Dressed in Leopard Print - I'd assumed this was one of Mrs Sandwich's ladies but now I don't know who it is. She DOES have a tall collar.

Uhhh okay but there were WAY MORE PEOPLE partying in the bookshop than Crowley brought out with them. Maybe just the camera angles/framing but that's. Very odd and noticeable. No sign of Leopard Lady for example.
