"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh, I did a msbelle for lunch. I finished off leftover pasta and chicken nuggets and popcorn shrimp. There was just a little of each thing so I finished off three packages with one meal.

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

You know what song is really distracting when it comes on in your commute? The dance mix of Christian Bales's rageon. It is too freaking funny.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Do we know how he learned to speak French? Because it is quite extraordinary, despite obvious mistakes, he clearly knows all the little filler expressions.

Megan, I know, right? He even said "way" instead of "oui." I may need to do some research, for now I am intrigued.

So far I've found that he was inspired to learn French from a scene in Chariots of Fire, and his wiki page says he lived in France for six months. Maybe that's when he was in Aix?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I noticed the "ouais" pronunciation too, and was kind of surprised that he couldn't find the word "sous-titres" given how fluent the rest was -- except that it was obviously one of those things where you can't quite grasp at a word that you know you know.

He spoke like someone that didn't study (for example, missing basic gender distinctions), but rather used it to actually communicate in a French country (expressions, pronunciation, etc.). Ouais is more prevalent in the south so Aix would make sense.

If you guys would please stop making him more attractive, that would be great, ta ever so.

Why don't male celebs announce they're bi? I'm reeling at the comments. I'm so out of touch. I had no idea so many people were uber adamant that male bisexuality didn't exist. I mean, I know the idea that all bisexuals are greedy, needy, or confused, but men specifically? That's new to me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Dominick Dunne came out as a "celibate closeted bisexual" right before he died, according to the Fresh Air I listed to today.
