Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wholetail.

HAR. Which reminds me, I'm working on a project called Senior Companions, and it makes me laugh every single time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Your guys don't look to be the first guys to use that term.

So my guys are slow and behind the curve? AWESOME.

Cass, perhaps your client's daughter is due for a wake-up call about Mumsy Dearest?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Aimee, Kristin will know about the slipcovering. Not sure if she is around today.

Wholetail.
Oh dear.

It's a remora, dimwit.

I have no idea - but making my own runs about $10.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

our claim that they were useless before they were reforged

Thank god I'm on mute. Very unladylike snorting resulted.

Aimee, I've not bought the IKEA slipcovers, but I will rec the Target ones, which are $99-$129, depending on fabric.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Having skimmed the wholetail religion/ID discussion, I have this question for the hivemind:

What is the proper response when a complete stranger comes up to you and says, in a very earnest and friendly tone, "I'm going to pray for you." Completely out of the blue, never had any interaction with the person before.

I ask because that sort of thing happens to me pretty regularly; about once or twice a month. I usually smile and say "Thank you", and walk away as soon as I can. I say "Thank you" because I assume that in their heads, they're doing something GOOD for me, as they can tell I'm a godless sinner by my appearance. I don't want to start an argument with someone who is, by their rules, trying to do a good deed. But it makes me uncomfortable every time it happens.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've looked at those but I like the Ikea ones cause they have seperate cushion covers.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Or, if she's as good at passive agressive, button pushing BS as my Mother always has been, she might even come up with new material!

I suppose I'd ask them to specifically pray that I get 20/20 vision. Or maybe I'd offer to pray them as well, but in my own way. IRL, when that's happened I usually just say, "Um, thanks," and walk away.
