i told my gf about like all the taylor swift theories and easter eggs (scooby doo shit, as she says) and got her invested in it and this is what they said 😭
First one since covid - so it's been a lonnnnng time
I've been doing them online from time to time, but it's just not the same as sitting in a room with a bunch of other writers tapping away on your keyboards and being big nerds together
So much fun
Today there were a few people I didn't recognise, and two of them were these really snooty book snob types (they both got along great) so at lunch they were having this back and forth peacocking over who was the better read between them and talking about their favourite books (pretentiously)
And I was sat near them like Oh dear god
I had to bite my tongue to stop from laughing because they were just so over the top I couldn't believe they were real
Anyway, I was telling this story to my mum on the phone tonight and she replied back "can you imagine their reaction if you'd told them your favourite books are all fanfiction" (affectionately)
And I have never felt so seen because I mean, she's not wrong, but also hEY
the companion will go oh god doctor who is that?? and the doctor will get all serious and somber and say listen. he's the most evil creature in the universe. he's the worst enemy i've ever faced. he's horrible and unpredictable and you can never ever let your guard down. and then the villain will walk into the room like this
Few DnD scenes will ever be funnier for me to imagine than Riz Gukgak fully fucking submerging himself in lava and Kipperlilly revealing herself just out of pure and utter shock
