Every time I read the title of the thread "Pumpkin Scream In the Dead of Night" I think it is the thread where Pumpkin Whitledge is murdered by a vampire. And every time I'm mildly disappointed when I open it to find that is not the case.

I had a dream one time where Kayte threw out "Aldi" in the Cbox as a ship name, and I was confused because it is also the name of a grocery store chain in some parts of the US.

I now casually ship Aldous Crouch and @"Diana Fawley" despite knowing nearly nothing about the latter, because their ship name could be Aldi. :P

Every time I see funny hedgehog pictures, I want to spam MJ with them. There are a lot that I have found. I want to just send them all.

I love it when people start threads for me without asking me, if they play characters that are in some way related to mine. It has an element of surprise and gives me an endorphin boost like any notification would in this digital day and age. So yes, unless it's a thread in which my character is violently murdered, do start threads for me if you feel like it!

I'm watching this Netflix documentary called Dirty Money and there's an episode on Trump's son in law and this guy is Seneca's DREAM husband. Ivanka Trump is also an inspiration for Seneca. Really, watching stuff about evil rich people gives me all the inspiration to write evil rich characters.

I always imagined Jenna Coleman as Helga's face, but I got a lot of inspiration for her personality from Lydia Bennett from the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. Imagine my surprise when I watched Death Comes to Pemberley and Lydia Bennett was played BY JENNA COLEMAN.

I really rely on y'all's Reputation tabs in profiles. It's the first thing I look at when I'm trying to figure out how my character would interact with yours (or writing about them for WW) and if it seems like it's filled out and current, it's often the only thing I look at. I don't have time to read everyone's histories to figure out if they're like a proper lady or a rebel princess or something in between, so if the Reputation section is empty I just make something up based on my impressions from a post. Occasionally I glance at the personality section but I usually don't read the whole thing, and it's not even present in every profile, so it's not very reliable.

FILL OUT YOUR REP SECTIONS FOLKS.

Related: A pet peeve of mine is a character with a middling rep (like 5-7) and a blank reputation tab because then I don't know why their rep is dinged, and my characters are way more judgey about some sorts of things than others. Then I have to go back to your original profile post which is likely out of date! Ach!

It Bothers me that my 'master' account is Maddie but she isn't the first alphabtically -so my account switcher isn't alphabetical. I have considered making a character, to be at the very top of my list, but I've also lost the emails and passwords of a bunch of the other accounts and going through the hassle to disconnect and reconnect them would annoy me more - So I live with it - but hate it every time I see it.

I've been compiling a list of things our plague should have included and so far it consists of:
  • Ministry workers sending increasingly passive-aggressive owls to one another all day about how much work they're actually achieving at home.
  • The Minister being asked the same five questions by the press every single day.
  • More respect for the healers that carried on working. Except Belle. Home girl was pregnant at the time so absolutely should not have been there :P
  • Quincey Honeyduke sending baskets of sweets to vulnerable people to cheer them up.
  • Everyone questioning whether they've had the Wizarding Pureblood Plague, or just the regular Wizarding Pureblood Cold.

On the "master account" note — if Ophelia were just a normal character she totally would have gone on vacation in like, September and I would've made Alfred or Ben my main — but then I'd have to ask to have my WW, DP, sweep, and Buddy permissions moved over to another account and like ugh that does not seem worth it xD

So you know when you're just getting to know someone in RL and you feel like you can't use their nickname yet because it's potentially too familiar and they didn't introduce themselves by the nickname?

I get that with characters. As in I feel uncomfortably over familiar referring to someone else's character by nickname when I haven't had any IC involvement with them or very little.

Then I'm like "oh god does it sound weird and formal that I'm calling them by full first name when literally no one else does?"
