this dorm than just me
Finn: now all you have to do is find them!
...but donât forget me.
Genevieve: as if
Finn: go eat. love you
Genevieve: love you.
Happy Labor Day, or something.
The good news is, this means itâs September. The bad news is that our show doesnât come back until
October
, and this is the longest, most painful hiatus Iâve ever been through.
Iâm getting
philosophical
, you guys. Or maybe brooding. I donât know what youâd call it.
Iâm thinking a lot about Nicola, of all things.
I remember, my first time through season one, before Iâd gotten involved in fandom at ALL, disliking her. And it was kind of validating to find out later that other people felt the same way and didnât want Tyler to end up with her. Some of you were downright offended by the possibility, I think, and even though that wasnât me, I kind of get it. There was something...disconcerting about that relationship.
But looking back now...whyâd we all hate her so much? She wasnât a bad person. I think if Iâd met her in real life, Iâd have liked her okay. She was smart and dedicated and good to Ty. The time she grilled steaks on his birthday? That was actually really nice! Whyâd we all get so mad about that?
I mean, I know why. It was because Ty had to miss his birthday tradition with Jake, and that was awful, and it was the first time in six years they hadnât spent their birthdays together. But Nicola wasnât a bitch for wanting to make her boyfriend dinner.
Maybe she was right in the season 1 finale.
Maybe heâs too close to Jake, and it doesnât leave room for anyone else.
No fic recs today.

I know youâre pissed. Can we talk?
We canât keep avoiding each other. Itâs starting to freak me out, being here alone with no one else I know and you drifting around like weâre strangers.
I was going to tell you about the job. Itâs just been so much lately. Everythingâs changing, and itâs really overwhelming, and...I thought youâd be proud of me, though. I thought the fact that I finally got a real job would matter more than...
And you put too much pressure on me. Iâm twenty-two, Charlie. Is it so hard to believe that Iâm not ready to talk about marriage yet? That maybe thatâs nothing personal?
The shit you said about Eve last night was way out of line and uncalled for. Sheâs a good person, and sheâs allowed to get along well with people. If you have a problem with our friendship, your problemâs with me, not with her. And anyway, Iâm allowed to
