    Inclined to say nothing, now.

    At the time, the combination of leading with her saying it was "tonally off" then in the same breath asking about it being pre-written didn't feel like they went together as a real thought; talked about this a bit before, it's early in my ISO if you want to dig it up.

    What are you getting out of this?

    .... ok, I literally just remembered that you replaced Delphine and didn't just pop into existence like a genie.

    Seriously, seriously time for bed.

    You equating situations that are not the same (Delphine, Miner) =? not a real read.

    Also Newcomb, does ‘given things’ refer to the expectation of a more engaged Mal?

    This ("not a real read") is kind of a feeling I have from a lot of your posts tbh, just this one is one where talking me through it is productive. Although Delphine being my slot doesn't hurt lol.

    Your big post was better but I'm not sure if that's just the "being in the same room" bias. Also I haven't actually read all of it so lol.

    They’re not the same in the sense that Delphine was correct in her read of the Newcomb cp being not-town!Newcomb-standard whereas Miner pretended to near townfirm him for the cp arguing ‘this is towncomb”.

    You’re actually right that that’s very different things and equating them doesn’t make sense. It didn’t hit me before now because it’s the sort of connection I would totally make, but Newcomb has been known to think things through more thoroughly than yours truly.

    Yes, sorry, I am a bit lacking in words today, but that.

    I did read all of it. It hasn’t made my scumread go away, but I will give Newcomb +4 respects for making that post as either alignment.
    --- Post automerged ---
    I’m also, like, more open to the open to the possibility that Newcomb might not be scum.

    That may sound like a fancy way of saying my scumread there was weakened, but it totally is exactly that yeah.

    On a scale from black hole to sun, I rate Newcomb Big Post as shimmery.

    I think I am writing total nonsense but I don't care!

    ‘Newcomb wall posts are supposed to show pure critical thinking - so why does Stan only rate it as “shimmery”?

    I may paraphrased it too loosely. Alternatively, you’re a fanciction barbarian who’s not a native member of DarkLordPotter and can’t be expected to recognize a plot bunny if it were t bite you in the ankle (bunnies are small, they can’t reach much higher than that).

    Ok well like you're here now, you've read.
    I was expecting... idk. Something...
    Guess you can have some time?

    Plan was tomorrow, but I got off earlier than expected tonight so maybe it will be soon.
    I already promised something nonlinear, and my laptop still isn't working, so I've been thinking about how to do that and am close to a decision.

    It wasn’t a question. It was an hommage.

    Cobalt is probably just town. Vaimes is way townier than in Princess. I kind of have a wacky townlean on Jari. Jan and you seem fineish. dC has things that kind of shimmer a bit but then also some kind of squinty interactions. If you got me sufficiently intoxicated right now, I would probably lynch Newcomb.

    There was a question mark at the end though : (

    I'm going to bed.
