  • I never understood why n0 = 1; this has always felt like a fundamental character flaw.
  • I empathize with “otherkin,” and am very fortunate not to have heard of the phenomenon when I was a sad, lonely 14-year-old.
  • My comfort movies include Anne of Green Gables, Love Actually, and Newsies. Edit: Also Studio Ghibli’s “Whispers of the Heart,” which I can’t believe I forgot to list first.
  • I watched the first two episodes of Fooly Cooly and failed to see genius where so many others seem to.
  • One of my greatest joys in life is a good role-playing game session.
  • I don’t know enough about any given medium to be a really effective snob about it.
