🎩🧠🥃 Ask Nate Ford

You’ll probably get an oblique answer and then he’ll walk away. But sure, go ahead and ask.

[functioning-god-complex]

Rules

Do:

Send asks, obviously. They can be silly or serious or mean or nsfw or literally whatever.

Send them to Nate. If you wanna talk to me my mailing address is @gnar-slabdash

Send them as another character if you feel like it! Hell, make yourself an askblog for another character if you feel like it, join the crew!

Don’t

Ask about anything post-original-series. Speculation is fine, like “What would you like to do when you’re done with this?” But it’s not cool to tell a guy how he’s gonna die.

Take it too seriously. There will be flanderization. There will be headcanons. There will be inconsistency. It’s for fun.

//thank u anon, i will totally accept super old askmemes since you included the question so i don't have to hunt for it, that was very nice and i'm so glad people still want to play, i still want to play too!. but i'm so busy and so tired and i cannot come out to play right now :( also to anybody else who's sent stuff and been ignored, same deal, i don't hate you and i didn't delete it (except maybe if it was like super time-based like something about a holiday that's long past now), i just.... busy. tired. sorry.

why does nate near-exclusivley play The Worst Man Imaginable? like i understand why, if they need someone from the crew to play the worst man it should be nate for typecasting reasons but he really almost never plays any other roles. he's just like how obnoxious can i be today? as enrichment?

[functioning-god-complex]

That would be the release valve. Trust me, you don’t want to meet me when I don’t have that outlet.

[watchmebecomeher]

Typecasting is never something you want to rely on long term, especially if you're running the kinds of high profile cons that we do.

Nate always manages to convince me that his character is different this time. 🙄

So long as he's not wearing that awful yellow suit or wearing socks with sandals or destroying his hair with that junk to make it lie flat or ... well I'm being too harsh. As long as he's not waving a gun around or getting himself shot, I'm happy.

I'm always a bit surprised when people describe Nate as obnoxious. He's not with us ...

[functioning-god-complex]

Oh, I am printing this out and framing it. Mark your calendars, everybody — March 29, 4:23 pm, my wife goes on record that she is surprised when people call me obnoxious.

What are you drinking, sweetheart, I think you’ve got rosé colored glasses.

If it’s the “age of the geek,” why isn’t the “algorithm” smart enough to take me to my wife’s blog when I forget what it’s called and type in her name instead? Huh? Checkmate, @cgi-yoda-hater

Are you doing anything fun for Valentine's Day?

Yeah, lining corporate pockets by buying a bunch of useless crap on an arbitrary date to prove my devotion to a socially mandated concept of romance is exactly my idea of fun. You got it in one there.

[functioning-god-complex]

The timing of this is entirely coincidental. @watchmebecomeher

surprisingly difficult pill to swallow: most people are not playing 8 dimensional mind chess and can be taken at face value

[watchmebecomeher]

@functioning-god-complex

[functioning-god-complex]

And then, most of the people who think they're playing 8 dimensional mind chess are playing tic-tac-toe.
