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.

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) 2022-11-25 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
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) 2022-11-25 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
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.)

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.
