Using tumblr is like living in a low class apartment building. You just get used to the landlord not fixing things, and then someone new moves in and you're helpfully like "oh yeah don't drink the tap water, it's got stuff in it that makes you sick" and then your neighbor you've had forever goes "oh they took the stuff out actually" and you're like "what? when was this?"
"like two years ago"
"you mean i could've been drinking the tap water all this time?"
"yeah. they gave us individual mailboxes too finally, you don't have to dig through the communal bin anymore"
"are you for real right now?? i just redirected my mail, i didnt know"
and the new tennant is like "why did you guys even live here if it was so bad"
"we like it."
"I kinda miss the communal mail bin tho"
"the perpetually naked guy got evicted though"
"i know, so sad. he was really gross"
"i mean, his cousin streaks through the commons sometimes and knocks on all the doors"
"oh yeah, hate that guy"
New Person: I just saw this weird guy in the lobby in a really creepy anthropomorphic Pikachu costume??????
Old Resident: yeah we have no idea where that guy came from. We've left messages with maintenance 'bout 'im but-
Other Old Resident: just don't make eye contact and you should be fine.
"what are these strange markings in the paint?"
"Oh! Thats from the crab infestation!"
"The crab infestation?! Wow, glad they got that under control before I moved in."
"Oh, no no, it was an intentional infestation."
"Uh...."
"Yeah, we're hoping they bring the crabs back next year. A lot of us made friends with those crabs."
No, I'm not joking, he doesnt just look like him, I swear to God neil gaiman lives across the hall.
“Neil Gaiman?”
“Yep.”
“Like the author?”
“That’s the one.”
“What’s he doing here?”
“Pretty much anything he wants. He seems to like it here.”
