hi bossman.

i was wondering if there were any plans to do something similar to what you did on the gaming and giving stream 2020, in the way of reading out things viewers had sent in character?

So formally: not that I am aware of. That said, I mean, informally: almost certainly. but no idea when.

Hey bossman,

Just wanted to ask

Why the hell does your signature look like the Ao3 logo???

I met you today and got your signature, you complimented my nice blue jumpsuit after I called you an evil man which was much appreciated, I then looked down to see it. The signature. Tell me why. Also you were the only person not to draw a silly little picture which is slightly offensive bud.

Okay

1)I don’t know what the AO3 logo looks like (I didn’t know there was one) so fluke I guess.

2) I remember this soecific signing. I though “should I do a picture like everyone else?” then I thought, “Alex” get over yourself, if they wanted one they would have asked for one.“ The I got told off for taking too long so I owe you a pic I guess?

What would happen if someone tried to use the pages of a Leitner as toilet paper? Would it make their butt scary?

Depends on the Leitner but probably yes.

What would you do if you were Prime Minister?

Honestly? I suspect not much then have a breakdown.

The problem is that even with the best of intentions the entire system is so janky at this point that major change is not really possible unless there is an immediate and visible crisis that unifies cross party intent and even then the follow through will be minimal.

Assuming I could get it passed though, I would abandon first-past-the-post voting in favour of a more representative single-transferable-vote system, massively strengthen anti-corruption laws and require cabinet ministers to hold at least 20 years working industry experience in the field they are representing. That way at least I would leave things fairer when I am rightfully voted out for failing to meet my own criteria.

does colin have a secret pokemon collection yes or no

No.

Because it’s not a secret.

He just doesn’t tell anyone.

Do you think any characters in the Magnus-Verse enjoy Lord of the Rings?

Yes.

Last week UK friends tried to convince me that the haggis is a small animal (they don't do well in captivity, you have to make sure your haggis is ethically sourced). My last meal in the UK, I swear to God, had "freshly-caught haggis" in its menu.

What do you think the noble wild haggis looks like?

Delicious.

What do you think would be your version of lying down to sleep on the floor of the about-to-be-crushed train car in regards to the fears?

Honestly none of them.

Let’s just say there is no scenario I wouldn’t “rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

And to be clear its not a bravery thing, its a compulsion thing. I really struggle giving up on lost causes which makes me very often burned by them.

I don’t know (and don’t want to know) what it would take for me to genuinely accept anything like that.

Does the J stand for Jalexander

No

listening to rqg for the first time, just got to 191. you peddle excellent horrors. the cast loses it about how far you can turn your head in that first scene, is your ability to mime that particular horror actually a thing?

So I am told I am good at monster movement but I am not so sure.

I think normal people just haven’t tried as much as I have over the years.

Hello there! I'm kinda new on here, and I just discovered this blog of yours.

So, I need some advice.

I want to be friends with someone right now who doesn't know I exist. What should I do?

I’m not a very competent agony Aunt. That said:

I would suggest spending more time considering why you want to be friends with someone who doesn’t know you yet. What need would that friendship fulfil? Is it possible to meet that need using what you already have to hand e.g. existing friends, family, communities?

Secondly could you accept their wholesale rejection? They are an independent entity and do not need to like you.

Lastly, if all the above scans then sure take your shot and say hi, explain why you would like to be friends with them but then let it go. They might respond, they might reject, they might reciprocate, they might ignore you wholesale but either way your limbo is done and you can redirect your energies to more personally beneficial outcomes.

You do you but personally I find lingering unhopefully is more damaging than quitting and finding your next win.

But what do I know? I make shit up for a living for the gratification of strangers. You should probably ask someone wiser than me.
