Have you noticed how I can only write in either, high-flung fic-voice, or, like...all caps? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Gabby. Only ladies.
Poor Pepper, she's Jiminy fucking Cricket and Tony just wants to be a real boy and she's going to get CRUSHED.
OH GOD MY WHOLE HEART.
So this might get incoherent, but I had this conversation with some people about how writing is my THING, and um, a certain, um, boyfriend of mine doesn't have THING and doesn't really get what it means and kinda feels weird that I am totally willing to turn hermit and ignore all human interaction and forgo all other pleasures if I can just WRITE because it's my THING. It's my God. And then they were all "well maybe you're his Thing right now" and we all agreed that a person should never be your Thing. It happens, but it's never a good idea.
Now, Tony, he has a Thing. Pepper, she has Tony. But like me and writing, Tony's Thing will always come first, always, in one way or another. And that's no good for Pepper, no matter how much she might tell herself she's willing to give. At some point, it's too much for anyone.
UGGGGH I need to stop this, shower, and start writing my demon in a bottle thing NOW. YOU PEOPLE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
