Lizzie: So you said you grew up in the countryside of England. Please tell me what you’ve done for entertainment. There’s only so many pictures of cottages I can take.

olly: see, we differ there cos the limit does not exist on pictures of cottages!! my joking aside, i think cos i’m sort of a nature and woods nymph, i’m really happy just hanging out in a field or the woods and writing and watching the sunset. i don’t know how much help i’m going to be! but there are usually some small and quirky shops about if you look in the right places! do you have some of those near you?

Lizzie: Yes and those are always fun, but I've yet to find some sort of field in the woods to watch the sunset at. Now that's something I can get behind. Woods and fields mean fae and elves and magic!! Magic, Olly!!

You deleted everything at once?! I’ve heard of people doing that to get a kinda fresh start and try something new with social media. That makes perfect sense! People make those kind of accounts all the time, I think they’re called..finstas? I’m not too up to date with the whole internet slang.

Thank you, thank you! I have help with my socials so they make me look better than I am. Good! I’ve been all over the place lately. How about you?

Finstas? I like that term. Way better than stan twitter. Thank you for teaching me something new today!

I think that’s a good thing, being able to travel. I love traveling and getting to see different places. The fact that you’re doing that right now is awesome. I’m filming at the moment, but nothing too bad. 

A Lizzie Olsen? How many Lizzie Olsens are there out there? Nice to meet you Elizabeth, I’m Thomas, I’m not sure I want to see said stan twitter account.

I’m pretty sure there’s a ton of Lizzie Olsens out there. Elizabeth’s not an uncommon name, don’t you think? Nice to meet you too, Thomas. I think you’re missing out if you don’t want to see it. Who doesn’t want to watch someone embarrass the fuck out of themselves?

Oh so it’s basically just do shit on twitter that I can’t really do on my actual twitter I think I really like that idea. I don’t post a lot of things because I’m like terrified of being judged. I do like cute puppies though, I’m always down for cute puppy posts.

It makes sense. I mean, you’re not really catfishing because it’s not like you’re trying to pick someone up on your social media. You’re just using a name that doesn’t belong to you so you don’t get that judgement.

I was born in 1994 so I think that’s like right at the end of Millennial, or close to it but not quite Gen Z.

Sometimes I have to stop and think about how many puppy twitter accounts that I need to follow. I mean, We Rate Dogs is one of the cutest ones out there, but there’s so many! And don’t get me started on YouTube. There’s this one channel I follow called Shu and Tree and it’s the best healing I’ve ever had.

“I also as a millennial have no idea how to work social media. Also why does your name sound familiar? Weren’t you in the avengers movies? Pleasure to meet you Elizabeth. I’m Kane.”

We were born at that age where we’re in between worlds. We saw everything and nothing at the same time.

Yeah, I was, but I didn’t have a big part in it though. Just an extra in the background with a few speaking parts. 

That makes sense. I mean, I’m the same but at the same time, I want to be able to connect with fans as well? It’s a wicked circle, isn’t it? And –– I haven’t had anything leak yet, thank god, but I guess that is what they’re kind of working towards not happening, you know? And I suppose they’ve had so many accidents happen in the past, that they’re, uh, being safe rather than sorry. And Wanda is so freaking powerful? Like, she could have totally taken Thanos on.

Okay accidents? Like you haven’t posted accidental pictures of something? I would very much like to know any accidents that you might have had in the past. 

It is a wicked circle, which is why it’s easier than anything to just take yourself out of the equation. I value my privacy, yes, and I want to be able to connect with fans, but right now that’s not the right mindset for me to be in. One day, I’ll use my real twitter again.

Shall I send this recommendation onto Disney to see where it goes? 

Stan twitter, huh? for you or someone else? i’m intrigued. I think my one and only time on stan twitter was to do the thirst tweets video. I saw way more than i ever needed to, but they’re committed if nothing else.

You would think it’d be me, considering how vain I can be, but nope. It’s just for stuff and people that I enjoy watching and listening to and throw in some dog and cat retweets here and there. Tell me one of your favorite tweets from stan twitter then. I hope it didn’t turn you away from the rest of us.

Oh. So it’s a secret twitter account dedicated to you fan girling. That’s neat! I love that! I feel like mine would be really easy to figure out because it’d be me gushing over pretty girls and constantly tweeting, “Wow, I’m really gay for her.”

Exactly! No one knows who I am and I get to be my goofy self with no judgement or critique. I follow some of those twitters too. They’re the best ones out there, in my opinion. I love that that’s what you would do. Would you ever think of starting one then?

It’s probably more the latter for me, I’ll be honest! Sometimes it’s hard to just be when so many voices are coming at you, do you know what I mean? And it benefits me to step away from all that sometimes. That sounds like a fun purpose for it! I mean, I’d say yes but you’re not forming intimate relationships or anything with these folks, so takes that element out of it. You know I have to ask what you fangirl about! Bonus that if you claimed to be Elizabeth Olsen to anyone from that account, they likely wouldn’t believe it. I’ll admit I’m not on it as much as my public one, but it’s nice sometimes to know I can like things or check them out without too many judgements or questions. But who really needs to know how many cat videos I’ve saved?

Sounds like you get it all entirely and that’s why I bounced back and away. You know, I haven’t tried that yet. Telling someone that I’m Elizabeth Olsen and watching their reaction. I think I should though, it might be something interesting or blow up in my face entirely. Mostly it’s musicians. I love music. Music’s what gets me in the mindset and mood for something. I’m deeply affected by sounds and voices around me--which is why I tend to back away from things and take a strong laid back approach to most things. I mean, I bought a cottage in England to live in because I didn’t want to be in the inner city anymore and now I’m back in the game.

I want to know how many cat videos you’ve saved. Please share them.

Social media is just… not it. I admire you for staying away from it. I can’t say I’m very active myself — even if I am in the generation that are assumed to be far too consumed by all of it. It’s just toxic, all of it. Give me a small dose every now and then. But you’ll never find me spend countless of hours on there. The whole secret account thing though? Now that I could get on board with.

Someone earlier put it into perspective for me. I deleted all of the personal social media--like inactive on the one that my team set up for me and my instagram--and kept the secret one just so I can be myself. They said it was powerful that I did that. I’m leaning into it. Not to be a megalomaniac, but being powerful in a sense--even just a tiny sense as this--is pretty badass.

I don’t think it’s fair that anyone should feel pressured or even just feel like they should know social media. Social media is one of the most toxic parts of our world. I think you’re doing the right thing in not getting in to it too much. There is a lot of things on social media that we simply do not need. — But I mean, I’m in to the whole secret account vibe.. That is what I would call power - Nice to meet you Elizabeth, I’m Elsa.

Definitely agreed. It’s one of the reasons why I deleted every part of social media that showed me. I’m inactive on my real twitter and my instagram is completely gone; but the whole secret account still remains. You flatter me though--when you said it’s power. It’s just me, taking the time to be me, in a world that critiques everything I do. but you get the picture.

Nice to meet you too, Elsa. How’s it going?

I have a pretty heavy social media presence but I still understand absolutely nothing about the internet – it’s a crazy place! Maybe one day I’ll get a better handle on it all, but for now, I’m fine with just posting my photos and moving along. Pleasure to meet you, Elizabeth! I’m Rosé.

It is such a crazy place--so crazy that I deleted everything once. I just didn’t want to go back to having all of the critiques in my head, so I just made an account that’s in secret so I can be myself without really being...myself, if that makes sense.

A stan twitter account? I know what a stan is but what exactly is a stan twitter account? Is it run by a fan that you approve tweets of? Help, I’m not even a millennial and I’m lost.

Please do not be lost. Come to me. I will find you and show you a promise land where you can be yourself and follow the things that you love and not be judged for it.

That’s basically what stan twitter is. You just have an account that no one knows it’s you and you just tweet about what you love--like a stan--and hopefully not get caught because that’d be really embarrassing.

Hey, I have no idea what I do whenever I’m on social media. My team literally bites their nails every time I post something. Honestly, I don’t think I’m that bad. But I guess I can’t really say anything on that, huh? Nice to meet you Elizabeth; you are one of my favorites in the Marvel Universe. Just putting that out there right now. I’m Chase.  

See, that’s what gets me the most. You’re always judged on  your own social media and at this point, I’d rather much just stay behind the scenes and connect with the people I know via phone calls and text messages and then just....be on stan twitter where no one knows who I am. Is your team really that scared of you posting something? Have you had anything leaked before? Wait...was that the issue?

Chase. Nice to meet you too. It’s flattering to hear that I’m--or rather Wanda--is one of your favorites. She’s one of mine too.

Imagine being that petty though for a damn few dollars, maybe I should stake out and wait for her to leave the machine. She didn’t win anything from what I saw, then I won a little, yay for me. Ha, come to think of it, it was soda water not lemonade, so she hurt me there too. 

I’ll happily take that soda water from you though. It’s a me thing--I love a good crisp La Croix once in a while. Mad props if it’s watermelon flavored too. Congratulations on taking some sort of prize home from Vegas. You beat her that way. It’ll teach her to stop slot hopping.

...that just sounds dirty. I’ll stop.
