" It's crazy that he's so much older than me and still working in a comic book shop. Not that it's bad to be old and be here. He's talented, is the thing, like, I've seen his artwork, and all I've wanted to do since my dad made me start working here is leave so it's insane to me that Paxton's cool with spending his life here and also that he's so nice about it. Him and Ziggy both, it's like, you're cool, you're handsome - like, generally handsome, I mean, not to me - so why the fuck do you work here? "

" My parents and I were watching a movie. Couldn't tell you what it was, I just remember the glow of television screen and turning to look at my mum. Then I remember her turning my head, telling me pay attention, and that's it. I think that's the earliest, at least. "

👪 …someone in my muse’s family.

" I'll always take the opportunity to talk about my GamGam: Miss Shirley Odell, sweetest damn lady in the whole world. Strongest, too. I know everybody says this stuff about their family but I really mean it. I think if I look back on my childhood with my old fart brain now, I could find a lot of flaws in that woman - I mean, it took me forever to realize that the reason her breath always smelled like peppermint is because she was drinking Schnapps like water - and I'm sure my grandfather would have some choice words as well. None of that matters to me. She fit her life around making mine good and that will always sit right on my heart. "

" A good, good man. I don't think strangers walk into pubs and spend their time thinkin' whether or not their bartenders are good people, but at the Four Leaf you don't have to guess. Y'just know. I mean, he'd probably deny he did anything wonderful for me, but that man really saved my life. After I made an embarrassment of myself all over his establishment, sure, but he really did change my life. This isn't an ad for Four Leaf, I swear. " @santiagodeleons

" Now, remind me, who is Atlas? That wouldn't be the - oh! Are you talkin' about that kid who likes dress-up? Odd fella, I'll tell you what, but I do look forward to whatever whacky costume he shows up in. I think he's just looking for free snacks, or maybe he really enjoys putting on wigs and makeup, but I don't mind the company. What's a five dollar basket of nachos to me when the kid clearly needs it? " @atlasnolan

" Now, I hate t'say this because I well and truly enjoy this man's company, but... Something about Bora doesn't always sit right with me. I get the feeling that, if necessary, the man would drop the Gutter Sluts like a hot cattle prod and run for the hills. I hate to question his dedication, I really do. I like the man plenty! It's just hard to trust a guy like that. No offense, of course. " @borawinters

" I am very lucky to have found another person so interested in history. Different areas, granted, but Finn's desire for knowledge is laudable. If only I could have someone like him - genuinely curious about the world - in my lectures, perhaps his good behavior would rub off on the rest of my sleeping students. I am honored to have a friend who not only knows my interests, but goes out of his way to bring me books that he knows I would enjoy. Very honorable man. "

" I mainly listen to classical, if I'm listening at all. My parents raised me on traditional French composers like Debussy and Ravel, or even Chopin. I believe maman always wanted to be a dancer, though she never pursued it. In college, though, my girlfriend at the time was heavily into the goth scene and showed me 80's artists like New Order and Depeche Mode. There is something about new wave... It moves me. "
