I appreciate that you're enabling my psychosis. Love your insights!
I’m one episode in and *loving* this perspective. Also, please consult an autistic person! Shane cannot tolerate sock wrinkles for reasons! Reasons that are not unrelated to the fact that he supplies a perfectly literal answer to the question of what would happen if Ilya showed up at 1410 at 9:00. “I might answer” is not just smooth, it’s also the most straightforwardly literal answer possible.
I’m enjoying this show so so much. The pair of you have a beautiful relationship dynamic and you’re both incredibly insightful. Thanks for giving me another vehicle for my deep love for the HR characters, books and the show. I also enjoy the tangents and will be taking your recs on board. Off to watch some Interview with a Vampire between Reheats.
restart a sentence, or repeat “I think” or “like” one more time Ren, ISTFG …
This podcast is what I’ve been waiting for. You two are so thoughtful and I’m getting so much more out of the show. Thank you so much for these deep dives!
