So I’m of the opinion that as time passes Reigen becomes more and more online, because the Everything becomes more online post-2012 when the series is set. And like YES he’s noisy on Twitter but Reigen’s style of online-ness is much more about niche rabbit holes that are his interest and venture of the month.

And, I think, he’s the kind of guy to make every username some number-and-character combination that contains “Arataka Reigen” because that’s him. That’s his brand. You can go to his business page if you want.

And most of the time, people going back and forth with him on the woodworking subreddit, or the sommelier forums, or the (whatever Reigen’s interest of the month is) discord don’t pay all too much mind to this. But for those who’ve been on the internet for 15 years, they know the reference. This guy’s username is a reference to that old psychic fraud fail man meme guy who got photoshopped into sooooo many things when he was the lolcow of 2012. Some people are even like “lol love the username. salt splash amiright.”

Until like, 14 replies deep in a heated hydroponics debate, AratakaReigen_x87 posts a picture of himself in front of his garden set up that he’s defending to the death and WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE’S ACTUALLY THE MEME GUY.

best trope: "ugh I guess I'll tolerate you for the time being, but this is a conditional, tactical alliance, and the second I get what I want, we're parting ways" to "you are the only good in the world and I will protect you to my dying breath"

okay you know those posts that are like "this male character archetype would be better as a woman"? you know what we need more of? female loudmouth braggart hero antagonists. women who are cocky and comedically vainglorious and beloved by the public and also objectively suck so fucking bad. I'm not kidding. I don't care how sexist the audience would be about that. I want to see a woman who should be played by whoever the female equivalent of Nathan Fillion is.

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

*electric guitar riff*

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don't ask about the raccoon.

[mavaris]

But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn's head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?

[emilybeemartin]

My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.

A few months later

All hail the High Warden of Gondor.

Epilogue: It ADORES Faramir.
