There's a story I can't find anymore where a guy describes getting fired by Shingy and then immediately afterwards Shingy locks himself in his office and blasts Maroon 5 at full volume, if you can find the URL I'd appreciate it please and thank you.

Quantum jumping to a reality where this stuff works.

[Puppy Time]

The scripts remind me a lot of the Spells of Magic stuff.  I wonder what it is about these kids that make them put their faith in solely words rather than like Blood Over Intent or assembling cool rocks on the mantle or essential oils. 

There's something really cute about magical rituals being employed specifically to go hang out with your favorite fictional characters. No cursing people, no making a million bucks and lording it over the world, just waking up somewhere where you can be friends with cool people.

If you believed this when you were a teenager where would you have 'scripted' yourself into? I would have been the youngest officer on the Enterprise and Data's best friend or like... the tambourine player for Gorillaz because I can't conceive of myself with musical talent even if I was playing magic pretend

Definitely apprenticing under the wyverian artisan in moga village in 3rd gen monster hunter.  It's worryingly easy to see myself hypothetically being really exhaustive/exhausting about lore-accurate scripts.  Unfortunately, lacking this groundbreaking new means of playing pretend, I had to settle for trying to teach myself "alchemy" as depicted in Full Metal Alchemist.

Sophia Coppola's bedroom.

Our days mostly consist of filming TV shows, having sex, and her introducing me to all of her cool New York friends and them finding me funny and asking me to go on tour with them.

The music video for True Faith by New Order

Also: since it's referenced in this episode. Here's a video of Tilda Swinton being normal

Hellsing, Black Butler, or the book series the cronicals of Vladimir Todd.

Probably Sailor Moon.

The DIC version.

Nowadays it'd be the Pokemon games. Buncha cute/cool animals wandering around, and the biggest threats are usually a bunch of dudes a ten year old can take. Also free health care.

I'd probably be hanging out with all the other young losers wizards at Unseen University, occasionally venturing out to do some research.

Well I used to roleplay in World of Warcraft, so

At that age? I would for sure be in EU Star Wars as a young Jedi, and I would stop that moon from falling on Chewbacca and killing him.
