Jack just casually dropped the phrase "I'm married" in the middle of a sentence and I was super worried for a second I'd missed something haha anyway that's cool and good luck with married life and everything
Oh […] that’s very sweet to hear haha. Sorry to spring it on you out of nowhere though. It just all happened pretty quickly and some people have their own ideas about the pace of relationships, so we didn’t want to make it a whole thing. But, really, thank you. It means a lot to me :)
Okay cool just checking because sometimes I attract "Oh we should set you up with ..." types and like that's fine sometimes it's worked out alright but you know
I also have two opinionated older sisters so maybe it's just written into my vibe or dna or something that I'll go along with stuff idk and like to be clear I don't hate the set up thing I'm just aware of it
Yeah that's where we were talking about you being married actually
Hmmm, I feel like I’m being given tacit permission to, at least, keep my eyes open for someone you might like. Although I noticed that you used the word ‘significant,’ so maybe there is someone already? (I am ALSO an opinionated older sister, so this is in my DNA. What are your sisters like? Other than being opinionated.)
Okay, good. I just wanted to make sure. You’re welcome to bring someone! Whatever makes you comfortable. Do you smoke 🍃?
Honestly Annie sometimes I'm the last to know so I don't think so but who knows really [...] And I don't know I mean they're just my sisters [...] Laura's a hairstylist with a dumbshit husband I don't see eye to eye with and Luce is kind of the peacekeeper I guess like she's the one who knows what's going on around here and stuff
That’s a funny way of putting it. I feel like YOU would know if you were interested in someone haha. It’s not something that other people get to decide on your behalf.
Luce knows what’s going on around here? Tell her to let me know! I’m so confused. Honestly, Linus, that was one of the strangest explorations I’ve ever been on.
Nice, nice. Okay, good, because that will be the vibe if Jack listens to me. Which he always does.
I just mean sometimes it's like "hey ... do you like Y?" and suddenly I'm like wait DO I like Y and the answer is yes and I just didn't realize it quite idk maybe that's weird
I mean she'll definitely express her opinions if asked but she also doesn't actively lecture me anymore so that's a start [...] yeah it was a real weird one I didn't really love being out there alone
Jack is definitely listening to you but I can't promise the people who are helping out aren't planning to overdo on the alcohol but I can try to chill that out if it needs to be!
I don’t think it’s weird. I can’t relate but I actually think I’m the weird one. I have a tendency to over romanticize the mundane so it never escapes my notice when I like someone. […] Should I start naming people and see if it shakes anything loose?
Ah, so Laura does lecture you? Is it an anti-dangerous research station thing? Or an anti-liminal thing? I can definitely understand the former. I didn’t like thinking about you out there alone either.
Oh boy 🤦🏻♀️ I’m sure it will be fine but I can I deputize you as Jack’s ally? If he makes a suggestion, just be like, “Yeah, I agree and I know so because Annie and I are on the same wavelength. It’s a Luther-Hunt thing.”
Oh, I don’t know. I’m just curious about people. But if family is a no no topic then I will think about it constantly and shake like a little chihuahua trying to restrain myself from asking can drop it.
Okay I try to be honest as much as I can when people ask about stuff especially if it's like specific stuff so I guess I don't really believe in no no topics because I'll answer but it's just not that interesting or important
So how about this you can ask me three questions and then we move on from my family stuff does that work for your curiosity
I don’t think it makes you dishonest to let people know that you don’t want to discuss something, so that is always an option. And I don’t really think there is such a thing as an unimportant or uninteresting topic, but maybe that’s just me.
So, anyway, it probably won’t fully sate my curiosity but we can move on at any point (including before you answer, if I’m overstepping):
I saw you mention your dad on some net posts awhile back. What happened exactly? Is that why your folks are anti-rift and anti-liminal? And is that why you’re pro-exploration and here at Enodia?
Edited (Please let me know if I’m misremembering what has and hasn’t been discussed in public!) Date: 2023-08-30 07:45 am (UTC)
That's already three questions ... So the truth is we don't really know what happened with him like after the rifts opened up he got really obsessive about it but like we're just normal people not scientists or government folks or anything so he didn't have places to get real or I guess "real" answers except online and people there can be really really intense [...] And then after he disavan[...] left people sort of figured a group of them from online got together to try and cross one someplace but like that was the end of what anybody could find
And yeah like my mom especially [...] I don't think I appreciated how hard it was for her with him especially when I was younger you know? So yeah they're not fans but it's okay
I mean yeah probably right like [...] maybe here's a little bit what it's like on the other side of there is another side
