Those people that announce everything they do or are about to do to everybody:"I'm going to the restrooms. I have to print these out later. I think I'll have coffee but I did bring my own mug". What I admire is that they really don't care if you respond or not or if they are disturbing you. Quite content in their little bubble and still getting their work done.

[@user-km9bx3gf3z]

@@GullibleTarget Same, and Elinda is a genius character actually, so she gives you a lot to work with.

[@GullibleTarget]

@@user-km9bx3gf3z Fred breathes life into Elinda. Elinda herself is a very flat character. She doesn't give anything; it's up to whoever thought her up to bring her to life. She gives very little material so that leaves plenty of room for an imaginary backstory. Elinda could be anything or anyone, really. I wonder what Fred's backstory is for Elinda. What if Elinda was based on his favourite aunt, for instance? Aunt Cathy. Who never married, never had a serious partner. Always apologetic without needing to be. Extremely so. Like when we all sing happy birthday and we get to the 'hip-hip'-part and we all say 'hurray'-followed by aunt Cathy's quiet yet audible apology: 'sssorry...was a 'hurray-ing' too loud?'. I mean, what do you say? Such an odd question. I thought it was some running joke. She does it every time. That's why Aunt Claire always said the family realizes that Cathy is a bit ..peculiar but, you go with it. So they indulge her quirks and say 'what? No ofcourse not, Cathy! I barely heard your voice...it blended nicely with the rest'. And it's not like they pretend to be in on some joke. No; Aunt Cathy is genuinely worried about sticking out from the crowd in any capacity. Which makes her stand out all the more. Last I heard, aunt Cathy had quit her job as a cashier at Costco's. Says she wants to be a stenographer. That's what I always liked about aunt Cathy; when she says she's gonna do something: she does it. No matter how bat shit crazy it is to work at Costco's for 30 years and embark on careermove at age 54.

[@andariegos9466]
