The devil came to my house and tried to burn it down, which is why this post exists in the first place.

I can’t believe that tumblr user ao3commentoftheday is telling KIDS to go out knocking on doors asking for the devil! /s

but only *after* they piss on the poor! /s

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

One of my fave bits, back when I was a teacher, was to pretend I couldn't hear the kids who didn't put their hands up. I'm talking big, exaggerated moves, straining to hear and "oh no, my ears just don't seem to be working right now 😭 If only there was something that could be done to fix them!" (Keep in mind, my hearing is genuinely awful so most of the time I was barely exaggerating.) The kids thought it was hilarious (for some reason) and it was great at encouraging them to raise their hands. Anyway, I could 100% see Grace pulling that shit in a room full of the smartest, most qualified people in the world. That man does not stand for any calling out 🤣
