Sh*t My Husband Says (About Charming)

So Jack's brought this up a few times now and I don't have an exact quote, but he keeps trying to sell me on this concept character who's an eternal side character. His idea for this is that the character would only take open threads, and they'd have this whole rich internal life and ongoing plots that are referenced in their narrative but never actually have threads. Basically their whole life happens offstage until they pop up in someone else's plotline for a minute. Like when you see Abed deliver a baby in the background of a scene in Community and it's just never addressed by the "main" characters ever. XD

Dan out of nowhere: Is Mad-Eye Moody a Potter thing?
Me: Yes...
D: Oh, okay.
B: Do you need me to explain?
D: No.
B: ...He's a character...

[Date night]
Jack: You know, as we're going about our lives I often wonder: the next time we have time to ourselves, just the two of us, what are we going to talk about? We're both interesting people. It could be anything. ... It's amazing how often it turns out to be "spending two hours shitting on JK Rowling."

Watching the HP & SS with Mike, get to the first quidditch match when Hermione lights Snape on fire.

Me: so here's my question, why are they teaching eleven year olds to light shit on fire?
Mike: I don't think they taught them. I think Hermione went rogue and learned it all herself. She showed up on her first day and said "i can fix glasses and I can light shit on fire. What side do you want to be on?"

Telling Jack about Oz & Sina:

Jack: So they're like a modern annoying millennial couple...
Lynn: ... trapped in the Victorian era.
Jack: I'd argue everyone in the Victorian era is trapped in the Victorian era.

Telling Jack about my new character:

Jack: You know what this character is missing that most characters like this have? A redeeming quality.
Lynn: Oh, that's not fair! He has plenty of nice qualities. I just haven't told you about them. He's funny, like witty. He's really intellectual. He likes magical theory and advanced mathematics for some reason. Like he thinks imaginary numbers are super cool.
Jack: Did you just make Asian, dead me?

Lynn: [Morgan] has interesting things going on in every area of his life but I still feel like he's missing something. He has this professional tension because his boss is more liberal than him. His family is more conservative. He has these very buried feelings for his best friend and he's got this thing going on with a girl.
Jack: Does he have a personality?
Lynn: Yeah, but I think he needs something else. Like a hobby.
Jack: You just talked through The Existential Crisis of every thirty year old man. Career hasn't flourished the way he expected, feeling distant from his natal family but hasn't managed to start his own family. Oh shit, am I boring? I better get a hobby.
Lynn: Well. He is nearly thirty.
Jack: Yeah, but you're not a thirty year old man. I'm impressed you still hit the whole checklist.

Discussing me writing a novel.

Hubs: You have a couple ideas that don't require 20 other people's permission to publish.
Me: [Completely baffled, ignores comment]
A few minutes later in the conversation...
Hubs: You have enough material, you all could do a series Terry Prachett style and publish a book every few months. Self publish to Amazon and split the royalties between the 20 of you.
Me: [Finally realizes he is talking about Charming]

Lynn: Who should I give these Hogwarts house points to?
Jack: Ravenclaw.
Lynn: Hm, okay.
Jack: You seem disappointed.
Lynn: I'm just not a Ravenclaw.
Jack: What?
Lynn: I'm not a Ravenclaw.
Jack: Yes, you are. What house are you, if you're not a Ravenclaw?
Lynn: I'm a Gryffindor.
Jack: You are not! Gryffindor is the worst house. Gryffindor has no personality. It's the house of main characters.
Lynn: I didn't say it was a good house! But every time I take a quiz anywhere, on any site, they tell me I'm a Gryffindor.
Jack: Well, you're not. You're a Ravenclaw.
Lynn: Okay, then. But we did these quizzes and I was Gryffindor and you were Hufflepuff.
Jack: I was what?!

Lynn: Can I tell you about what's going on with Charming?
Jack: Yeah, sure.
Lynn: Well I just killed a character —
Jack: Woah what?
Lynn: — so that he can become a ghost —
Jack: Oh, this is the planned one.
Lynn: Yeah, but how it happened is fun! So his sister is socially anxious, and her marriage prospects suck, and they were having an argument about that and she —
Jack: Oh, wait. You know how in the Victorian era a lot of people had virtue names? At first I thought you were telling me her name was Socially-Anxious.
Lynn: ...no, not quite. So anyway, they were fighting and she pushed him and he slipped and fell down the stairs. But then he doesn't want her to go to jail and have her life ruined —
Jack: Wait, is your character staging his own death?
Lynn: Yes!
Jack: To protect his murderer?
Lynn: Yes!
Jack: Get a life, Victor.

Jack told me I had to post this. >>;

Me, watching White Lotus: Are they... doing snuff?
Jack: Yeah, totally. The teenage girls with the baggy full of white powder are doing snuff. Nerd.
Me: ... it looked just like the little spoon Queen Charlotte uses in Bridgerton!

Two separate instances all in the last 24 hours:

-driving to dinner and the daffodils are in full bloom all around us, making me chuckle.
D: What?
B: I have a character named Daffodil and the flowers amuse me, her last name is Potts and everything.
D: Of course you do.
B: Yeah, she has a lot of sisters also named after flowers.
D: Oh like Rose and Daisy?
B: HA! no. It's like you don't know me at all. Calla, Dahlia, Zinnia, Thistle, Senna and Amaryllis.
D: Why?
B: Because I can?
D: Fair.


Today on the couch, me giggling like a school girl over Honeypotts:
D: You're having a good time over there.
B: I'm about to propose to my fictional girlfriend.
D: She should say no. Just for a change of pace. Wait are you the girl? You should say no.
B: No I'm the dude, I hope she doesn't say no!
D: Pity.

Me to Dan: "Oh I didn't realize Daniel Radcliffe and Reilly had the same birthday. He's only a month older than you!"

Dan: "89? I could have been Harry Potter, I have glasses. My life would have looked so much different."

Me: "And I could say I'm screwing Harry Potter!"

Dan: "You could tell people you've seen Harry Potter's wand." ?

This is my life, fam.
