How can he be so adorable?

[shiningstar-official]

has there ever been a movie about you?

Not exactly. In 2008, Fox bought the film rights to my memoir A Star Rises, but unfortunately it never made it out of development. I did have a TV show, however; Shining Star and the Safety Squad ran for three seasons back in 2005 , and it’s still available on Amazon!

Shit. I forgot about Brave.

[shiningstar-official]

So how does it compare to Robin Hood? Better, worse, same?

[theonlygreenarrow]

Please. It isn’t the baby the world needs, it is the baby the world deserves.

[shiningstar-official]

I’m not so sure about that.

[mindlikeaflashingdagger-blog]

Because I’m highly selective of the people I’m a fan of.

Why does this surprise you?

[shiningstar-official]

Then who are you a fan of? What’s the criteria? Are you sure I don’t meet it?

And I’m surprised because everyone’s either a fan of me or they don’t know that they’re a fan of me

[mindlikeaflashingdagger-blog]

I’m not one of your fans.

[shiningstar-official]

What? But why not? 

[theonlygreenarrow]

You two should have children. Then it can be Batstar.

[shiningstar-official]

 Uh...No. 

[unsleepinginthedark]

[mask] There are better things to be worried about than your ego. 

[shiningstar-official]

I don’t worry about my ego.

[theonlygreenarrow]

Batstar sounds awesome.

[shiningstar-official]

Yeah... it kind of does, now that you mention it.

[mindlikeaflashingdagger-blog]

The problem is that fan merchandise is usually intended for fans.

[shiningstar-official]

Yeah, I know. So what’s the problem?

[unsleepinginthedark]

[mask] The concept is so self-explanatory that a gnat could write a thesis on it.

[shiningstar-official]

Um. Okay. But all things considered, my PR department isn’t really a waste of time and resources. Compared to other peoples, it’s absolutely tiny. I do a lot of the work myself, to be honest.

[unsleepinginthedark]

[mask] That your horde of publicity generators are a useless waste of time and resources.

[shiningstar-official]

 How so? 

[unsleepinginthedark]

[mask] You can stop making my point for me anytime you want.

[shiningstar-official]

What point?

[unsleepinginthedark]

[mask] The fact that it’s made at all is baffling.

[shiningstar-official]

Not really. I have a huge fanbase, so newsletters are in pretty high demand.

[unsleepinginthedark]

[mask] I don’t condone needless deforestation. 

[shiningstar-official]

Neither do I! That’s why every issue of Shining Star Weekly is made from 100% recycled material!

[mindlikeaflashingdagger-blog]

I don’t understand why you follow me. I was mostly joking with that comment.

[shiningstar-official]

Oh, okay! I just didn’t want anyone to think I  was behind those. Because what kind of douchebag runs their own fanclub? 

So what problem is persisting?
