so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch
I don't know, Bill. I think it would've been obvious whose hand you were shaking because Ford clearly hasn't shaken a hand before in his life
I mwan look at this fuckjng nerd bro- he is not only GRABBING your hand he is using HIS LEFT HAND to shake your RIGHT!! This guy was probably so ashamed of his hands he never SHOOK ANYONE'S
And then you go and shake Stan's hand who calmly takes your hand with his RIGHT. He isn't holding hands like Ford, he is shaking it. This guy has made deals before, he knows what he's doing. Bill....this is on you man.
Brandon Sanderson said that the purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon, and this is exactly the mindset I use when writing my own novels AND when dissecting my relationship with stories - most recently Gravity Falls, but also stories like Mistborn and Eragon.
The reason why answering what the meaning of life is is so hard is because it's different for every individual: You have to find it, nobody can tell you.
This is why fandoms are so cool; people all have slightly different versions of characters that are important to them. Storytellers put something out there, but us, the listeners, we create what we need from what is given. And that is absolutely beautiful.
So a toast to fandom and all the creativity and self discovery it cultivates.
