Profiler Anon

Hiya Anon and no idea what this about. I'm popping out a mo to check on my next door neighbor @ingravinoveritas, hold the line.

----

Right. Wow. Alright, so.

Quick take as I'm waiting for my gate to be announced.

As far as I understand, the show's main selling point is exactly these type of 'out of line' questions, like, no pc and pre-arranged questions as usual.

Michael is a grown ass man who knows that's the case. Nothing off limits means nothing off limits, or at least a decent minimum only. His gf is not a topic that should be a problem? I particularly never cared about the age gap but about the dodgy way it came about. That's not an out of line question if you're not embarrassed by it, and you're happy and comfortable about it.

My predictions? I'm no seer my darling anon, but if I had to guess

He may hesitate at the beginning

He might spin it as 'you never know where life is going to take you (in a similar way of how DT once answered that he was reluctant to date a 23yo GT as it was hard to see her as a life partner)/no different than to date anyone else/AL is a perfect partner/we have two amazing kids together, we're happy'

He might try and deflect by talking about the kids.

He might mention how he likes to keep his private life private.

Or nothing of the above, who knows.

Definitely expecting to hear how happy she makes him, or at least how much he loves his fam and how wonderful his kids are yadayadayada.

Which honestly, seeing eveything else...

Let's see Anon!

Apologies to all the Anons I missed during my hiatus!

This one is from 200 years ago but somehow still current?

So much and so little to catch up with it seems.

Also, GT Anon, I got your message but I haven't had time to reply to it properly. Due to laziness mainly I'm trying to find a post that I started long ago, will come back to this when I find it.

My sarky first thought was 'by having sex around ovulation time and it sticking a week or so later'. Easy.

Dunno. A sibling for Lyra so she's not an only child in the middle of nowhere in Wales.

Or some degree of the Tennants happy bunch vibe etc being a factor of influence.

Or maybe he loves her with his entire being + his white curl and he's planning to one up DT by having 7 kids with her.

Or... honestly who knows why anything.

I’m going through my drafts and had to laugh at this being one of them. Literally the title and nothing else lol.  

Very telling and accurate actually. I only saw S1, couldn’t face S2, and S3 just passed me by entirely. 

Hiya Anon

Thank you for your kinds words, although I don't know about being always thoughtful when ranting...

As for your question, still pretty much a DT fan, aren't we all? He's just the loveliest, without forgetting that DT is a brand and the real David John McDonald is somewhere in there. It strikes me as a genuinely genuine person though. So, yeah.

As for MS, I still thinks he's enormous in any role he takes on. I also think he went through a lot, A LOT, even more than we could tell by his online interactions yadayada. I'm cutting him some slack, if anything because I haven't been following him closely in over three years so I'm not aware of any shenanigans ever since. He seems happier or at least more relaxed now that he's always working? No idea, you guys might know more.

Thanks Anon!

Aww Flatmate Anons, of course I remember you! I always enjoy receiving your messages.

"Part of me wouldn’t be surprised to see a GT-like of career coming up, though. Don’t see her being very upset about it either. She’s sorted for life, having bagged a highly sought after celebrity. IG followers set. GT sisterhood set. Her job is done here. BB is also older, after pandemic is over they’ll finally be able to get a nanny 10h a day so they can focus on getting her in things and see if she can have some sort of career. If she’s not good enough, they can always slot her in things MS does anyway. (1/2)

(2/2)And worst case scenario, there’s always bb #2 somewhere down the road. Plan b also sorted.  THAT WAS SUPER MEAN PA! Mm, not really, just worded abrasively perhaps, but am I wrong? Probably, time will tell. Haven’t been wrong with this girl so far.    You wrote this like years ago PA, you're like Prophetic Anon more like it lmao! Not wrong with that girl, nailed it

My dear anon, I haven't been able to find this entry yet but it does sound like me so...yeah? I'll trust your intel (⌐■_■)

So, there's bb 2 already and she's been in things thanks to MS. Hardly the only one who saw that coming though...

So the next nice and accurate bet might be what will come first, breaking role with GT, small indie project with MS, or bb #3?

Hello Anon

Nice to meet you too and thank you for valiantly treading my many, many ramblings.

To be honest I don't remember half of what I ever wrote at the time? But that 💕DT💕 comment definitely sounds like something I would say...

I will go through the archives and try to find it (I do remember being shit at tagging)

Hiya Anon!

What happened is I went on a World Tour of sorts for work, was exhausted, had to finish a project, did it, work went back to normal after pandemic ended, meaning super busy, lost my keys to the tumblr office, couldn't be assed to do anything about it, finished GO2 a while ago so it reminded me of this office and wondered how the MS fandom was doing.

And here I am!

Thanks for asking

Alive and following my old footsteps to try and get back into my noir-style tumblr office. Lost the keys, etc.

Thank you for asking, Anon!

And to you dear Anon! 

Hello Anon

There’s so much shit around atm that I can’t tell you how much I miss internet for recreational purposes.

Feel free y’all to send updates my way. What’s happening? The Embarrassment of Embarrassments sounds way too good to be true. 

I am indeed alive and well, thank you anons who asked. 

What am I up to, you ask too? well, I was banned from the internet rabbit holes by someone I’m doing some work for, who was losing a lot of hair over my slow editing of something I’ve been working on for a while. I’m being very naughty right now...shh. 

I also wanted to wish you all some happy holidays, or as happy as this year can be. If all fails, we can always eat our weight in chocolate and turkey and whatever our heart wishes. 

Seriously y’all, take care and enjoy the little things, even if they seem a bit shit at the moment. It’s worth holding onto anything, whatever, in times like this. 

See you around. I miss my little office here.

PA

...which is not good because she should be working but hey, have you seen the news recently. 

Hoping everybody’s doing as well as poss considering the collective stress the world seems to be under at the mo. 

Wherever  you are and whatever your circumstances, go and do something that feels good. 

Buy that pair of shoes. 

Eat that chocolate cake. 

Sleep that extra hour. 

Tell someone to fuck off if they’re set on making you unhappy. 

Plan things you can do during lockdown if you are/are going into lockdown.

Do nothing if that’s what you need to and can do it. 

I for one I’m trying very hard to not lose faith in humanity, which is pretty much my default state of mind thanks to my job anyway. It’s hard. 

Hold onto whatever you can hold on to.

Part2)The dangerous thing is that mainly young Americans, (just from what I’ve seen on my blog) seem to have taken this seriously, and a lot of people where genuinely upset that MS wants staged cancelled. They’re taking his words literally. What written words cannot convey is the tone of the person writing it, and people take things negatively on first read of things. If that makes sense. interested in your take on humor and how it doesn’t always translate the same way in different countries

Hi anon 

You’re totally right regarding not only different types of humor, but also written humor. 

To use the British as an example, not only it might get lost in translation for people who aren’t part of the cultural understanding of that humor. But when, on top of that, it is written, even those who are part of that culture and understand the humor for what it is are deprived of two crucial aspects for understanding it properly: context, and like you say, tone. 

I don’t doubt he intended it as a joke, in the same way all jokers who prank others in a mean way think they’re just funny pranks. 

But when I look at the context, the disproportion is mindblowing:  

On the same day that he got THOUSANDS of support tweets regarding Staged2, he goes mad about one (1) opinion which isn’t adoring praise. And this famous actor who should be used to criticism and could easily ignore that one (1) rando on twitter, chooses instead to put them in the spotlight, not only with a sassy, humorous tweet back (fair enough, that’s obvs the joke part), but doesn’t stop there and goes as far as using a legit petition site to start a mockery of a petition, USING THE PERSON’S NAME AS IF THEY WERE  IN IT TOGETHER, without any consent on this person’s part of course, so the bashing-disguised-as-joking can continue. 

And then he makes it his pinned tweet so it’s even more visible.  

That’s how funny I see it. It’s not a joke when it involves putting someone in the spotlight against their wishes to drag them further with something he knows his sheendom will support and applaud and go after.
