Hi Bee! Have you watched "This is us"? I felt like Jack was the Jess Gilmore girl fans always wanted but never really got. The problem is Rory most likely wouldn't have appreciated a character like that. What do you think? Also, you're awesome and I Love everything you do!

I looove This Is Us. I’m such a sucker for the Parenthood-esque dramedy. And the show is just written really well, which always sucks me in.

Ehhh, I’m not sure I see any correlation between Jack and Jess except, you know, Milo. Even s6/RevivalReformed!Jess was not really akin to Jack, and I’m not sure I’d want him to be? He turned out pretty okay all his own? His may be the one character development I fully believed all the way through. I mean, I feel like for sure every GG fan wanted Jess to be better circa his main seasons, so maybe that’s what you mean? In that case, oui, but otherwise, non. (And also, sigh, Rory. If only you would’ve blossomed the way we knew you should.)

"Just walking down the street minding my own business and these boys point at me and call me ugly." Did they look 13? John Mulaney warned us about them. They're like real life trolls. 😡

I was walking right next to a community college, so they were probably not that much younger than me. 

I know it shouldn’t bother me - I accept that I’m not ultra attractive to begin with - but I’ve always had low self-esteem and unfortunately it really bothers me, so I had to tell tumblr :(

"Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?" I think I already know this answer but that's ok because I believe its healthy to vent. So don't hold back. 👍

7.) Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

Star Wars. Just the other day, I was thinking about how, if I had been working on the sequel trilogy, I would be devastated and absolutely loathe and anguish over my job. 

There are certain shows and ships and whatnot that I feel like I can’t like anymore, even though I’m still drawn to them. I feel like I’m enjoying a party, but suddenly a religious leader condemns me from drinking and socializing there because it’s a “sin”.

Oops, sorry. Didn't know someone already asked that question. 😶

Nah, it’s ok! I appreciate the asks!!!

Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

Yeah, but it’s kinda odd because I don’t know if anybody else behaves the same way I do about it? I mean, pairings can turn me off or make me feel cold, but sometimes a pairing is so overrated and shoved in my face that I start to hate it? 

It’s only worse when people get mad at you and accuse you of being an awful human being for not liking something that’s popular - especially if it features marginalized groups. I honestly believe that a lot of people in fandom just like what they like and that it’s not all a hostile ploy to hurt others.

Curious, do you get a lot complaints about your rare ships? I'd be shocked if you got ones for Romantis because I can't imagine our humble little fandom to even be considered a threat.

Honestly, no. I don’t get complaints for Rocket/Mantis but I have, on occasion, gotten some questions about why some pairings I ship even exist. Even once or twice with romantis, I’ve been asked by someone who was just baffled that it was even a thing. And that was based on their own personal interpretations of character and sexuality. 

No one has been cruel or mean-spirited about it, though. Not that ship.

Wow! Your Venom post got lots of likes. Now you have no choice; Venom fan-fics! 😉

Haha, I can try I guess. They would be self-indulgent self-inserts though.
