And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I always thought he was kind of an egotistical totally unfunny jerk, but then it's normal that not everyone in a group will like everyone else. (But I sort of thought I was crazy for not seeing what everyone else saw in him.)

Ha, I blocked him WELL back in the day. He just annoyed the everloving shit out of me. If that helps.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Whereas he didn't bother me: I found him entertaining, though I had no real emotional reaction to him.

Although he wasn't nearly the website designer he thought he was--I never much liked the site he set up to host Nilly's Firefly reviews.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

[also, when does S2 premiere, god damn it???]

January.

Woo!

He can wear that shit if he loves it so much.

Doesn't he?

Not the retro stuff, though that's mostly due to price, not anything else.

Ha, I blocked him WELL back in the day. He just annoyed the everloving shit out of me. If that helps.

Ahahahaha. I think I was trying to not block people. It made me feel like I wasn't trying hard enough to get along, or something like that.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Scola is my info-gathering hero.

Can I suggest that we create a "morbid curiosity" (or something like that) group on FB, and take the Gus stuff over there? It makes me feel weird in ways that I can't quite verbalize adequately to talk about it at length here.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

What pinged back in the day was that he always talked at people rather than to them. I found it odd and offputing, so I never tried interacting with him (as much as I interacted in those days, which was more than I do now).

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

Don't know if I'm making an equation

I don't see any more link between a liar like Gus and Loki than I do between Gus and Aphrodite, is what I'm saying.

By the time Gus established the slightest rep for not following through (i.e. the second time, and that's including his coding efforts), I was actively pissed at him. We still don't have decent tag closing code, and I'm too traumatised to start thinking about fixing it.

Because books.

I meant what I said earlier -- when I realized everyone took the weremonkey bite thing seriously, I just backed off the whole thing. I didn't know him, hadn't really interacted with him, but that was too much for me. That said, I figured if everyone believed it, there had to be something to it? So I just ignored it, and him, and then he, you know, died. Or WHATEVER.

My issue with discussing it here is that I think, if he is lurking, talking about his is probably making him very happy and only encouraging him. Not that I am telling anyone to stop; it is just my own issues with feeding energy demons.

So those of us that don't FB, but do Buffista don't get to see? He blanket friended Buffistas. If he didn't want to be talked about on, say, buffistas.org, he should have thought through his plan better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I assumed he was drunk last night and sent out all the friend requests.

Yeah, I think drunk is a pretty good guess.
