Really? I could have sworn I commented here in response to one of your posts before...

Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter.

Carla is lonely? I'm a little surprised.

She's an abrasive jackass. It is unexpected for her to even tenuously admit it, but feeling it is no surprise.

Yeah, but she's a jackass by choice. It's weird to me that she would be such a pest if she wasn't happy with her social situation.

My read of Carla is that it's something of a defense mechanism. She proudly displays herself as an aggravating butthole (without ever engaging in genuinely harmful actions and behaviors ala Ruth or Mike) and then latches onto the people who put up with her at her seeming worst because she knows that they won't turn on her. If she acts like an annoying pest all the time then people will hate her for that, rather than having to worry about putting up with transphobia. She knows she's hated and she wears it like a badge.

Star Wars. And yeah, that kinda sums it up. Ruth's feelings for Billie have been super complicated for a while now, and now that she's on medication and actually feeling somewhat stable, she wants to see her again, if only to see what she feels now.

I was surprised that she was nerdy enough to have Monkey Master and Teen titans posters, but then she hit be with the star wars.

[up]She once tried to strike up a conversation with Billy by asking what her Hogwarts House was. And calling herself a Hufflepuff.

She's waaaaaaaaaay nerdy.

Speed Racer is an underrated classic, don't @ me.

Also, Wachowski SISTERS? I knew one of them was trans, but are they both? (Always amused me how all the incel douchebarns worship the whole "red pill" thing, but they'd wet themselves in terror if they knew about the Wachowskis.)

I’m glad that Speed Racer has finally started getting the recognition it deserves. That movie rules.

Also, if we seriously end up getting Ruth, Lucy, and Carla as friends, I will be so happy.

Lucy was already Best Girl but extolling the virtues of Speed Racer has elevated her to Bestest Girl.

That haircut looks like it's a step away from asking to speak to the manager.

Her next step is legally changing her name to Karen.
