no because now i need to actually talk about it like. i love every pokĆ©mon game pokĆ©mon has been such a dear thing to me since BIRTH literally i came out the womb w a pikachu ive loved pokĆ©mon for as long back as i can remember. but no game has ever done it for me like POKĆMON VIOLET DUDE the last pokĆ©mon game i can genuinely admit to being invested in like i was with violet was LETS GO PIKACHU and letās be so fr it aināt even have a real narrative storyline like violet like this was a real EXPERIENCE and i would do anything to play that for the first time again

Fiction is disappointing in its portrayal ofā¦peopleās weirdness. Just how weird people really are in real life.
So many books have all their characters be incredibly normal and Iām like ????? You guys can go outside and not run into someone who is even slightly strange? Or act like āquirksā are only for characters who are explicitly supposed to be eccentric instead of justā¦people being people.
like, my neighbor sunbathes in his driveway in his underwear and builds coffins in his spare time. My OTHER neighbor just sets things on fire whenever he needs to relax so at random times heāll be out burning his deck furniture or something. I knew a guy in high school who woke up every morning at 3am and could lip sync flawlessly to every veggietales song. I knew a girl who collected hand sanitizer and wore bright, glittery green eyesore alligator earrings after she got her ears pierced. our family friend back in Tennessee owns six pugs and an unbridled pug obsession. My brother (13) aspires to be a hobo and calls himself Moped the Cheapskate. My grandma reads ya novels (she loved six of crows btw), determined that she was a ravenclaw through the internet, is responsible for me learning my first curse word, and flips off trump when sheās watching him on TV. one of my high school friends was a conspiracy theorist who did intense research about chemtrails. a member of my squad when I was like 14 was referred to by us only as Poodle. the guy who taught my public speaking class in high school moderated a doomsday prepper forum and would talk wistfully about how he would like a bunker. I used to work out with a guy who worshiped Thor smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt. today my best friend literally just ate dirt while we were hanging out and I can only be just like āwhatever, he eats leaves, the little packets that say do not eat, and food off the floor of restaurants, how could a little dirt hurt him?ā because thatās just what he does he justā¦eats things
The sad thing is that almost everyone I know would be The Weird One if they were part of the cast of a book?? But it isnt weird to be weird or eccentric or the opposite of normal. people are justā¦that way. books drop any somewhat unusual quality as a marker that a person is āeccentricā and I promise you canāt make your characters too weird
Because I write down people that I meet and hear of: my dad met a lady at his work who claimed to be psychic and talked at length about how ghosts would watch her shower (āI hope you like what youāre seeing!ā she would tell them) and about the ghost-seeing party she was planning. He talked to a woman who was a sonographer and who had an enormous tattoo of a dragon all the way up her leg and thigh. āOrgans move. Babies donāt,ā was her wisdom. He met a guy with a phobia of glitter. People are weird. Thereās no excuse to make stock characters and people who are average and without quirks. To me it just makes them seem undeveloped because EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING.
People are just weird. let them be weird pls

You are pretty sure that your roommate is a new villain terrorizing the city and you are conflicted. They cook extra food for you and your other roommates frequently, pay you their share of the bills on time, and even help to clean the apartment. They are the perfect roommate.

you have to be annoying and do everything as passionately and genuinely as possible because we live in a world where everyone operates through sixteen layers of post irony and to love with recklessness is literally counterculture.Ā
