[ Bad life choices abound. The true meaning of father's day. ]

You're sure? I just...not even custard donuts to replace the ones you ate that first time? I mean I'm glad you watch it because you want to but you couldn't have known you'd like it in the first place.

...It's the first day of summer? Really?

[ Yes, Barry, really, it's not just Father's Day, you nincompoop. ]

[What a thing to celebrate.]

100% sure. If I didn't like it in some way or get anything out of it I wouldn't have kept watching. First day of summer, really. Horoscopes change, probably has a list of battles as well as the births and deaths of famous people. Happens to Father's Day now, too.

[He doesn't think Barry is a dad, otherwise he would have gone for that. Sorry, kiddo.]

Okay, good. You'll tell me if it gets too bad right? I mean updates on how good it is to watch. Maybe I can eventually detatch myself from working on it + my normal job at home and enjoying it. And your updates might help with that. You don't have to, just maybe tell me if you stop watching, but other than that you know.

With how hot it is I think I just assumed that summer already started and I completely missed the memo. Wouldn't be the first time. And I definitely know the last one. Pretty sure even if I was from another world I would have got that. With how many people keep mentioning it. And the whole roomba gift my grandson gave me. made me.

...He hasn't been born yet where I come from.

I realized about a second after I sent that text how weird that sounded when you know how young I look.

Swear I don't have some reverse aging thing going on.

Not part of the power set.

There was an episode this most recent season where the romance came to a head in the middle of a case featuring a killer who only targeted circus performers. Their boss asked them if something happened because they had been acting funny all day. Then he handed them a folder with pictures of murdered clowns. It's the little things that keep me watching.

[Yes, yes he caught the flub up and the hurried explanation, damn right he did. But Barry's reaction feels like something bordering on embarrassment. So rather than Will explain he's been around long enough to see some Weird Shit (like young Hannibal Lecter with reddish eyes, an extra finger, and from way before the time his Hannibal would have been born), he just ignores it entirely.

You all good, Barry, worry not.]

I remember half the crew groaning at that pun. I wasn't one of them, surprisingly, but that's probably because I thought it was funny. Did they have some kind of break up like two episodes after?

Over some spilled tomato sauce that was really blood? And it was because...I don't actually remember why, I just remember them asking about tomato sauce = blood.

[ Thank you, Will, he vastly appreciates the fact that you're willing to just sweep it under the rug. Because he is just slightly embarrassed about that. ]

Yeah, sort of. But the last episode had her finding him at a bar with his arm slung over another woman. She's trying to figure out how to go about the REAL break up without work being more difficult than it has to be. EXCEPT she hasn't told him any of this yet, and the audience knows the woman he was next to is actually his sister. They were hugging right when she walked in. It was a timing issue.

[Never you worry, Barry.]

I can't believe I have to wait another 5 days to see the resolution here. Might not sleep.

They're actually brother and sister out of character! I know that scene. The girl's really nice and we had a good talk over a donut. And yes I did have enough downtime to eat a donut. I was hungry.

If you promise you won't tell, I promise you'll like the resolution. It'll be worth the wait. I know I'm not supposed to say that because of an NDA or just don't talk about the show you work on, but I'd hate for you to lose sleep.

:( And I mean that honestly. I realize that it looks sarcastic over text.

[but did the donut have custard]

I am a veritable Fort Knox when it comes to keeping secrets, Barry. I promise nothing you tell me about this show will ever make its way anywhere else. I wouldn't do that to you. I hope that doesn't look sarcastic over text because I mean that honestly too :(

[ maybe. maybe one had custard and the other did not. maybe barry lied about the amount of donuts he ate. ]

:( Text just does that to things. I think it's just because we hear it in the person's voice when we read it? And if we've heard them say things like that or just imagine them saying it with imagined inflection it just...gains sarcasm.

...Not in like a sentient way. Just a way that I'm not entirely sure how to define.

[As long as they weren't people, it's okay.

Just like it's okay that Will doesn't respond to that first part, because his initial ideas aren't very flattering. They're telling of Will, too, of course they are, but it's better to drop the topic than seem rude.]

Who brought it to your attention that you should have asked me about this, or did you just think about it and come to that conclusion?

[Because abrupt questions are polite. It's more polite than what he was thinking, all right?]

Edited 2015-07-11 06:20 (UTC)

[ Thankfully it wasn't Hannibal making them, so everyone was safe on the custard is people front.

...Excuse the like five minute pause before he answers, Will. That was the opposite of polite but Barry can answer it. Probably. ]

My...new roommate. Who I know from home. Who's kind of an asshole. So when he's telling me maybe I'm doing an asshole-ish thing, it might actually be something I need to rectify.

Because his bar of what's being an asshole and my bar of what's being an asshole are two vastly different things.

[Aw, Will has one of those, too! ~*~ ♥ hanni ♥ ~*~ But projecting is probably a bad thing. Probably. Like, he could be way off the mark, even if it does have a similar sound to it. Got a nice control freak twang. Or maybe he just misses Hannibal so much.]

Congratulations. It can be very stabilizing to someone familiar around, even if he is kind of an asshole. Or maybe that's just me. But no, you haven't been an asshole in this situation at all. I would have told you. I didn't because I didn't have a problem with it, and you didn't press in the face of that, so no one could rightfully accuse you of being an asshole. You can tell your kind of asshole roomie that. You don't honestly think I made it to such an advanced age by being a doormat, do you?

[ Eobard doesn't eat people, his one is at least has that going for him. He just time travels and likes murdering people. ]

He exists to destabilize my life but thank you for that congratulations. I just wanted to make sure, I kind of got caught up in my dislike of the show and missing what I used to do. And was really thankful someone was willing to watch it.

No, but politeness. Sometimes people are polite when they don't need to be? You kind of need to be a little polite with the liaison thing?

[Okay but Will is still coming around to soak in those asshole ~~sting~~ rays please and thank.]

Better the devil you know, as they say. I didn't contact you in the capacity of your liaison. I had no reason to be more polite to you than I would be to anyone else. If I dragged my work around to every other aspect of my life, I wouldn't be doing very well. Would anyone? And I don't think that watching an entire show without enjoying it in any way just to appease someone else qualifies as politeness. But I may be in a similar boat as your asshole from home, having a vastly different bar of what politeness is and is not than most.

[ Whisper Will no. No don't make that bad life choice. ]

Even better if you didn't know the devil at all, but point taken.

I'm also someone whose social life is mostly Netflix, so I may understand binge watching a little better. But you're right, to be honest, he probably mentioned it to just to bug anyway. Because he knows that sort of thing would bug me. I'm glad you enjoy it, btw. It makes me feel a little better about the entire thing, you know?

And I tend to err a little too far in polite directions. So we could just be vastly different from most. The three of us. Just because most people are most people.

[Yells Will yes. Yes make all the bad life choices.]

Being overly polite is preferable to the opposite, at least in my experience. You're probably better off for having that sort of attitude. Even if you don't realize it. What's his name?

[AND I SAID HELLO OTHER SATAN FIGURE MAYBE I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO GO]

[ No, Will, no. Don't make Barry get the newspaper to hit you like a dog. ]

I realize it. I also realize how that sounds, but I realize it. I'm not a complete idiot. Even if I have foot in mouth issues.

Why are you asking?

[ Tread lightly, Mr. Graham, Barry Allen's one trigger point is Eobard Thawne's stupid self. ]

[He might enjoy that. Barry no.]

Good to be aware of yourself. Why wouldn't I? You mentioned him. And it's not like our population is very big or we don't have monthly meet ups, for those who go.

[He could just trawl the Network for Barry and anyone talking about Barry and find out himself, if this has ever been mentioned in public. Do not test him, bro. He's got over a week to spend out in the middle of fucking nowhere hunting Walter White's ass down, he can definitely multitask Network reading while he rides stag.]

[ Go tell your wife to do it then, Will. ]

Because most people don't want to know who assholes are? I mean they do because they can avoid them but, are you just asking so you can avoid him?

[ Joke's on you Will, he doesn't think he's mentioned him on the network and he doesn't think Eobard's mentioned him.

Joke. Is. On. You. ]

[It's already happened.]

I was just curious. But if you're this staunchly against it, never mind.

[r u sure]

No, it's just complicated. We're complicated. It's Harrison Wells. Don't tell him I told you about any of this if you do run into him. He gets weirdly touchy about it.

[ Why are all of his problems caused by Bart? Why? ]

[But is his middle name G-something]

I won't. Thanks for telling me, though. Anything else?

[Because that's what teenagers do best.]

[ Regrettably no, despite how it's perfect when he's out of his own time. ]

No, I'm good. You have a good day, Will, okay? Keep in touch.
