It's a little known fact that I can't cope

can i get a fucking ETA on “this too shall pass”?

I’ve been in fandom since *about* when Panic! formed and the adjective!character thing was already going strong, pretty sure it predates them.

100% born of bang paths. fandom has be floating around on the internet for six seconds longer than there has been an internet so early users just used the jargon associated with the medium and since it’s a handy shorthand, we keep it.

Absolutely from the bang paths–saw people using them in early online fandom back in 1993 for referring to things.

I had been doing it for a very, very long time but never actually knew the actual name for it. This is exciting! I like learning things.

I am very glad this has been going around so folks learn the Lore, but also let’s encourage it because then we get to say “bang paths” more often.

Nothing was more fun than clocking Sullivan in his second scene and watching him try to hide his queerness untill Episode 5. He could have tried a little harder to pretend he wasn't just staying to protect and teach the only queer person he was in charge of. He was such a king and my favorite character. It was hard to watch him fall apart, and honestly his later scenes just broke me. He deserved better, and this show needs more hype.

Never underestimate the connection that can exist between the only girl in the office and her gay sixty-something colleague, it's something that no macroeconomic superstructure of any kind will ever be able to break, it's something that goes beyond the psyche, it's something that screams perfect father-daughter-coded-relationship, and you'll never understand it unless you're the only girl in the office who hates going to the office.
