Against my protest, Alice insisted I create an account. For "social research."

If you can’t trust strangers on the internet truly who can you trust

How horribly ominous.

Portrait.

Thank you to Alice for the flattering depiction. Tell me, how accurate do you guys think this is? Be honest, I'd love to know, but we clearly have a blooming artist on our hands. Personally, I think she got my hair perfect.

Christ, how immature. And on the back of evidence? Did the sketchbook factory explode? She needs to stop drawing obnoxious doodles of me on important documents.

Bites you

Wh— ouch. What is wrong with you.

i still can't believe youre on tumblr. what's next, insta? tiktok? do you have a reddit??

Christ, no, I don't have a Reddit. My only other social media page is an Instagram, and I barely use it. I don't take enough photos to post on Instagram much. I don't think anyone I know even follows it, which is completely fine. Well, Alice found it once, which was obnoxious. But that's it. I enjoy privacy.

Do you like have friends??

What are you implying? Of course I do. Obviously I have friends. Not that it's any of your concern, but I stay in touch with plenty of people from uni. We go to dinner on occasion, when we have time and reason.

-Gwen B.

[rainthesillyclown]

I was in fact implying you don't have friends.

👍

[g-bouchard]

Tch. No need to be hateful. I've heard it all before.

whats your favorite coffee order? cappuccino? cortado? mocha?

I like most coffee. Coffee flavour itself is nice, I enjoy coffee ice cream, tiramisu, things of that sort. My go-to order is usually something sweet, typically caramel or mocha. I admit I have a bit of a sweet tooth, which I really should be better about.

Whats an example of a reason to meet up

Graduations, promotions, et cetera. Mostly to celebrate achievements and such. Nothing too exciting.

new pfp?

The more I looked at that old selfie, the more displeased I was. I take terrible selfies, I don't know how to make faces suitable for casual photography. So, I replaced it with my headshot. If I'm going to look miserable, I might as well also look professional. At least I can control the appearance of my page, if nothing else.

Would you say you have a healthy sleep schedule

What do you think? Obviously not. I get to work early, go home late, and find it quite difficult to get comfortable in my own home knowing all the awful things that are out there.

-Gwen B.

[g-bouchard]

aw man, i can imagine that getting all those ship related asks about a coworker might feel... weird. i'm not gonna speculate on anything here, it's none of my business, but if i may say one thing?

i'm very sure she cares about you, in her own Alice kind of way. whatever that may mean to you. just... crazier things have happened, you know? not that anything has to happen, but you seem to believe there's a 0% chance, which... i mean, i said i wasn't gonna speculate, so i'm not, but i'm certain it's higher than that.

just... think about what you may want out of your relationship. if you knew for a fact she'd reciprocate any feelings you have, would you want to stay acquaintances, as you described your current relationship? friends? maybe more?

you don't have to make that kind of thing public, but it's good to know for yourself. and then, you can adjust and act accordingly- depending on what you want.

cheers, Gwen. have a nice night!

I— whatever.

you said Alice's names were bad so what would you call the voices in the computer?

Why do they need names. They're generated computer voices. I don't tend to grant artificial intelligence names.

-Gwen B.

[g-bouchard]

do you ship norris x chester

The... computers? No, don't be stupid. They're evil pieces of junk.

-Gwen B.

[lennat2]

Gwen...how did you know what the word 'shipping' means?!

[g-bouchard]

I'm thirty years old. Do you seriously think I've gone this long without hearing someone say "I ship it?" I'm not oblivious to every slang phrase from the past three decades, though I'm sure that comes as a surprise to you.

-Gwen B.

[lennat2]

Now now...I only ask because I'm so very proud of you.

So...who is your OTP? 👂🏽

[g-bouchard]

Don't push it.

-Gwen B.

[lennat2]

Cmon! Surely you at least like Darcy and Elizabeth? Beauty and the Beast? Leitner x Magnus?

[g-bouchard]

Hm. Darcy and Elizabeth is such a basic choice. A decent romance novel, but I would hardly call Pride and Prejudice my favourite. Besides, I prefer Victorian-era books to regency. And with work these days, it's impossible to sit down and read. I barely have time to watch an episode of television anymore.

-Gwen B.

[g-bouchard]

That wasn’t a no

I don't understand why you all won't give it a rest. Obviously my "favourite ship" is not myself and my coworker, that would be self-absorbed, inappropriate, and wrong. No. It's a no. It's always been a no, and it will always be a no.

-Gwen B.

[g-bouchard]

Is your otp Dyhard

I've said this before and I'll say it again: the name you guys came up with for this ridiculous concept is clever, I admit. But that's all I have to say on the matter.

-Gwen B.

[g-bouchard]

I bet Colin shipped them

Stop testing my patience. You should have more respect. But why should I expect something so base from you.
