Many of your unique characters would drive me crazy in real life, but I get so much comfort from the way you portray them. The only explanation I have is that in real life you are kind, comforting, and very very funny

[@ObjectorSnark]

i pondered this myself and i think a lot of it is that even the characters who are the little tyrants are "mostly harmless"-they don't have much real power to irritate you with their gatekeeping for more than few minutes of interaction and then you are on your way again, so you just accept this interaction in your life for what it is and proceed to observe this person anthropologically, as they operate in their environment, vigilantly defending their anthill from all assaults perceived and real there's also the weird thing that sometimes the asmr effect can triggered by people with annoying personalities or affectations (often because it's in the formalized context of an occupation), and she clearly understands this with great subtlety, blending it with comedy where subverted expectations and plot twists are supposed to do anything *but* relax you *and* it still hits on every mark? i think she's in the process of creating something unique here.

My bf is a native N Carolinian and I’m a (somewhere in the ballpark of 10-12th generation) Georgian. I 100% agree she’s gotta be from the south and I think it’s most likely NC too.
