my ex best friend was the same. she once brought a dress from an auction for a TV show that was $2000+ that's probably still hanging up in her wardrobe gathering dust. her parents were well off. I have no pity for people like that.

Not the point here but 3k a month after tax isn't that much, is it?

To be fair, those "BNF"s more often than not are just regular wealthy people who purchase a lot of albums for tickets and then resell the albums shortly after, in my experience in kpop fandom? So, uhh. It's just that it's a ridiculously expensive hobby.

As someone who's never had financial security, being in the kpop fandom makes me really feel the class struggle.

Thrawn’s a fairly common problem. Writers want to write genius strategists, but they aren’t genius strategists, so they write okay strategists who keep outwitting people who really suck at strategy.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. My theory is that basically a huge part of the fanbase really wants Star Wars to be what they understand as serious science fiction (which, to them, largely means military / thriller science fiction (on which I will refrain from commenting here)) and Thrawn was sort of the first character to come along and really cater to that desire.

[(Anonymous)]

I think part of the appeal was that the Thrawn trilogy came along when there wasn't much new material in the Star Wars universe. And Thrawn was a very different type of villain from Palpatine or Vader (or Jabba or the Gorax). I liked the trilogy and I read it not that long after it came out, but I haven't read it since. I will say Thrawn reminded me of a vampire.

[(Anonymous)]

Thrawn had at least a complicated relationship with the xenophobic empire, being a non-human himself. Had a couple of sympathetic aspects that could be read into.

Apparently he did some interesting bullshit in the novels? I'm aware of the comics mostly.

Agree, secret-writer. I actually really enjoyed the latest Thrawn trilogy (the one about his time in the Ascendancy before his exile) because despite all his strategy stuff... he was a really shitty Chiss. Like, just straight up did Chiss war crimes (and Earth ones) and while there were a few characters who were falling over themselves to fawn over him, there were several in important positions who didn't take his shit.

And honestly, they were right not to. I love the character but he's definitely more Gary Stu now than he was in the 90s and I appreciate when he gets called on his shit and/or makes big fucking mistakes in the text.

There used to be a LiveJournal community for person/object fics. I don’t think it was for objectum-sexuality so much as just for funsies though. I was going to write a (non-explicit) Pyrsmid Head/Great Knife fic for it but I never did.

(Yes I realize the secret may
Be a total joke but that’s my two cents anyway.)

If only Elon Musk had a Lady Catherine to keep him in line.

I used reddit for a while for some support subreddits, but even that got a bit stressful after a while.

I still enjoy the occasional AITA though.

Sorta related (?). The one I remember from that Olympic games was the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili and how the Georgia delegation was sad as Hell during the opening. Seeing other delegations wearing a mourning black ribbon was pretty thoughtful.
