Pourstiel.v

I am Pourstiel, I go by any pronouns but most people use she/her. I write on AO3 under the same name.

I hope to make some friends or something!

Favorite shit: The Eltingville Club, House MD, Gorillaz, Creep Cast, Limp Bizkit

I have more but that’s all I’ll be posting abt on here

Of course! Not sure if you meant as a character or romantically, so I included both!!

Normal:

Mandi likes incense and sages her home monthly

Mandi has a MySpace account with hundreds of followers. People love her down to earth takes

Mandi is a very good listener and is one of those people who ask you if you want advice or if you just want to vent before jumping to solve problems, she’s always there to lend an ear

Before the epilogue, Mandi attended college for some sort of business degree, I think something in management or a creative director position would suit her

Mandi also cosplays, and has done so since high school. She uploads these to her MySpace as well

Mandi hosts parties but they’re actually enjoyable. She makes it something that involves everyone instead of just some hangout of random strangers. No one feels left out on her watch

I think Mandi has a younger brother who either fell to the toxicity of male fandom or has to deal with it a lot and that’s why she handled Bill so well

Romantic:

Mandi wants to do your makeup. Nothing you’re uncomfortable with, just as a small bonding activity

Loves non-sexual intimacy; cooking together, a hug that sways like a dance, sharing drinks/food, etc.

Tries to get you to eat something every time she does because you matter to her

Big on splitting responsibility, if you cook she does the dishes. Simple.

You guys always have a show you watch together, she WILL know if you skip forward

sunny asked!

love sunny!

Hi sunny!!! I’d love to answer ur question!

Imagine the context is that you just enter Joe’s comic shop. That’s your crime. Enjoy!

Bill: Immediate foaming at the mouth, raging, screaming inside. Hates you because you’re pretty.

Sees you enter Joe’s and FREAKS the fuck out. This is HIS space! He OWNS fandom and women are not a part of that culture!!

“Hey, bitch! What’s so funny, huh? Having a laugh at a group of men discussing their passions? Well guess what, this is what true fandom look like, not fake poser chicks in their brother’s shirts reading comics they don’t even care about! Fucking poser!”

Josh: This paranoid little freak thinks you’re plotting something against him and you hate him.

So much disrespect as a mask for his overwhelming discomfort at the mere sight of you being a normal human being.

“Oh? You like Wolverine? Name the first appearance he was in and explain the whole story behind his character. Oh, you don’t want to? I knew you were a poser!”

Literally the comic equivalent of “name three songs.”

Wants you to like him but assumes you’d “never go after any guy that isn’t Brad fucking Pitt. Shallow female.”

Definitely some nice guy shit spewing from his mouth but mostly self loathing.

Jerry: The NICEST of nice guys. Holy shit it’s insufferable.

Goes out of his way to make conversation and mentions how ‘weird’ and ‘different’ he is at least five times.

“Sorry I’m so awkward, girls never really talk to me. They’d rather go with a jock or something, not a down to earth nice guy like me. I know I’m not like them but I think it’s about who can be mentally stimulating that should inform a females mating decisions, we’ve evolved past the need for physical power.”

Stares at you and thinks you’re a manic pixie dream girl. You HAVE to give him a chance because you’re in this space. If you want a nerd you HAVE to give every nerd a chance.

(I apologize for how mean I am to Jerry nice guys pmo BAD)

Pete: EWWWWWUH. Gets all in your space, touchy to the max. Expect sexual comments and extremely uncomfortable questions about your hips and bra size. Thinks he’s rizzing you up but he’s on his way to a sexual harassment charge.

Also goes out of his way to make conversation, but the conversation is just him grossly flirting and failing to do anything that you’d actually like.

MY FIRST ASK! This is a big deal for me guys.

I had to consult the holy book (nerd inferno) for this, I hope you like it!

Bill: Bill believes in the paranormal and spends SO much time searching online forums for stories of sightings, evidence, and tips for ghost/cryptid hunting. He owns an ouija board and “borrows” some of Jane’s crystals and “witchy shit” for better contact.

Josh: This is kind of? Revealed in the epilogue, but Josh like to write, read, and especially review fanfiction. He proudly publishes alternate versions/endings/AU’s of series he enjoys, but on an alt account he has some ship fics (some with himself) that he could NEVER let the club read.

Jerry: Jerry watches anime, we all know this. I think he cosplays on the side but would never tell the club because they think when girls do it they’re posers and when guys do it they’re gay.

He’s definitely tried to be Link, but his hair never sits right so the hat doesn’t fit on him. He also wants to dress up as the knight from Ladyhawke but it’s too expensive and hard to hide.

Pete: Pete is into literature. He cares a lot about it in the comics so I think he secretly reads books, but not just any books, HOMOEROTIC LITERATURE! It’s not gay if you just appreciate the undertones of vampires, right?

Jerry purposely fucks up the DND games by making them too hard as a way of getting back at his shitty friends.

We see (mostly in the pilot sequence but they don’t play dnd in either that much) that the boys struggle greatly in actually defeating opponents in their campaign and overall struggle to get anything done other than argue while playing, and I think that’s because Jerry- who just like everyone else hates the other members and constantly wants to feel better than others by putting them down- makes the opponents the boys face too hard for their levels.
