When you're very hot and very blue and your two horny boyfriends just so happen to be looking in your direction... @limonnazul your silly lil guy has captivated me

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

you know, the Josh historians might remember the fact that I gave Madoka Magica on DVD to my high school English teacher when I graduated. He was my favourite teacher bar none and influenced the way I thought about media really strongly, so I felt like, fuck it, give him the piece of media that influenced me the most and which is my favourite, you know? Wasn’t sure if he was enough of a nerd to watch anime or anything, but he was enough of a nerd to be both aware of it and more than okay with consuming foreign media - but really more than anything I just wanted the sentiment of giving something important to me, to him. Explained a whole bunch about how much I loved the series and the many amazing things it does and he seemed really happy with the gift at the time, I mean hey it’s way more unique than a box of chocolates, right? And it was about the gift to me, really. Did I want him to watch it? Yeah. Did I want him to like it? I sure hoped so. But as far as I could’ve been aware, I wouldn’t ever really know. And that was okay with me. I was fine just having given him something important to me and having him appreciated the fact that I did that.

Anyway, obviously I’m bringing this up because it’s somehow relevant. Lo and behold, I saw that same English teacher in a shop. And we actually stopped each other and chatted for a bit. There was a degree of awkward “oh how are you doing?” type small talk, but it quickly got swapped out for almost more life affirming general conversation, and I think it was apparent to both of us how happy we were to see each other. Which I feel touched me especially because hey, fair enough for a student to remember a teacher, you don’t get loads of those - but I must have made a hell of an impact to be fondly remembered by a teacher that’s taught hundreds or thousands of students.

But most importantly of all. I asked him if he got around to watching Madoka. And you fucking know he did! Holy shit that’s awesome! Bro I got my high school English teacher to watch Madoka fucking Magica? That’s badass! Obviously I had to ask him what he thought of it too. And he only said one word, delivered softly too - for it was all he needed.

“Beautiful.”

Like fucking fireworks were going off in my head dude. Cause the thing is like cool, really happy to see him, life affirming conversations, just generally really nice, and even if I didn’t ask about Madoka or if I did and he hadn’t watched it then that doesn’t negate that this was a really delightful encounter I’m super happy to have had. But he did watch it! And it fucking touched him dude! He super appreciated it! We were talking more and he even said “I’ve not watched it in a while” and those are his exact words and pay attention to them because bro! If he said “I watched it a while ago” then it’s a one-and-done but he hasn’t watched in a while which implies he’s either already rewatched it or hasn’t closed his mind to the idea and that’s just!!!!!!!!! Like this is the closure I didn’t know I wanted and it’s a way better outcome than I ever would’ve guessed!!!!!!!

So yeah I’m just fuckin happy lol.
