You and me both, sistah.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have meds for that, but I'm running low, so it's first come first serve.

The funniest part (to me, anyway) is that I hardly ever look at the comments on his lj. But I was bored. And then I saw Whedon mentioned, and then Minear. And then after I stopped laughing, I saw who'd mentioned Tim in the first place, and that Victor was over there, too.
And then I tattled! Shamelessly!
I'm sure Ellis is just calling Tim names because he's resentful about the Godfather advice. He's lashing out. Sad, really.

Is Warren Ellis persona non grata around these parts? Because, that's the impression I'm getting.
ETA: Not that I would be offended if no one around here cares for Ellis. I'm not a comic book person, as it were.
Now, say something blasphemous about Michael J. Nelson, and I just might have to end you. Well, I won't really end you, but I'll definitely be working that silent treatment I've heard so much about.

I kind of have a "witty jackhole" impression of Ellis personality-wise, but at least he's entertaining.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I have been loving Ellis' LJ. I find him to be hysterical. I even ordered 4 Transmetropolitan trade paperbacks this week.

But! But! The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question.

So I'm a douchebag. This isn't news to anyone, is it?
Yeah, I must've overlooked Allyson's (and others') earlier remarks about Ellis completely. I skimmed, but apparently, I didn't do a good job of it. Taken out of context, the more recent remarks came across to me as disparaging, or at least, somewhat critical. Then again, the level of snark here runs so high....
Again, douchebag.
