Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I'm thinking of Avery (girl), which I used to really love and is now on the list. How does that happen exactly?

Blame Murphy Brown.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'll always think of Avery as a boy's name because of Charlotte's Web.

hip deep in pie

When I was in school it was all Amys, Susans, and Karens.

Susan is totally unfashionable, but I predict a comeback in the next 5years.
