And not very far from the mark.That's why it was funny.
I found it funny, but you know how I am.Funny.
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
Funny haha, or like a funny smell?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, I thought it was funny, too. Wasn't it supposed to be funny?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It's down to what floats yer boat. Which is a sentence I will never use again, I promise.

Not funny because the prose was a bit obvious or not funny because insulting to fans or insulting to NF?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not funny to me either. Not because of the subject matter--just not written for me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
There was something about the tone that was off to me. Somewhere around, "Good, you're paying attention. I like that." whatever was going to follow was only going to irritate.
Maybe if it had followed some event. Or the writer had some personal story about his/her interactions with the craxy.
I dunno.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
