“Now KPC,” you may say, “he doesn’t really call him anything now because he’s not at Samwell anym--”

“Shhh,” I say, gently laying a finger on your supple lips, “there’s literally a panel last update where Dex and Shitty are seen cheering on the Falcs together.”

“Okay,” you concede, “but where are you going with this?”

“I’m going to the obvious conclusion:” I draw out the words before pausing for dramatic effect. “Dex, through what are probably hilariously mundane circumstances, found out Shitty’s first name.”

“Holy shit,” you whisper, stunned.

I am a casual hockey fan at best

I can’t really bake for shit

I’m not really invested in vloggers or social media personalities

I go to a public, state university

I have grown up primarily in the midwest and the PNW
