In what ways are you a TF2 celebrity? Did you voice any characters? Did you set any records?

For most of my life, me and a vast majority of the world have seemed to not see eye to eye. Not for any one reason; sometimes it boils down to peoples' outlook on my past and their expectations of the mindset behind it, sometimes I can say it's been based on prejudices (from my ethnic makeup to my medical condition to my spiritual traditions to my sexual orientation, I am not a great combo socially), and then there comes a point where I notice people dislike me simply because others do, so there's also a self-fueling element I guess, where hate literally breeds hate. I also get flak for how I handle this kind of thing no matter what I do, such as bringing up that people in charge typically don't see issue with me (tends to be a trigger when populists are in the equation), or ironically trying to make lemonade out of the lemons life gives me (for example, someone once accused me and another disliked person of being the same anonymous author, so one of us thought "well if we're seen as the same person, people won't mind if we make apologies on each others' behalf for things", only to be told after the first apology that "we don't consider it genuine unless it's done by the culprit").

As a result of this, there's a very specific state of mind my presence seems to appeal to (again, ironically including people who are actually in charge except when a punishment towards me cannot affect my whole experience in a setting, which has kept me from being gaslighted into losing my ethical agency by people who, in response, erupt into more anger at the idea I'm "appealing to authority" by using this to dismiss claims about my state of mind while they do so to the masses). I have, over time, slowly accumulated people who would be the opposite of this, and looking back, I couldn't feel more tranquil at the crowd of people who I've come to know as my own, with a hospitality and mindfulness that makes even the nicest nations look slightly apathetic. As a result, if I find someone who fits, I am more than happy to invite them. The crowd gets a new member, and the new member gets a crowd. If you are afraid, I understand, but the offer is there.

A place to resort to if you ever want to refresh yourself on what a group of people who aren't against you for the sake of it feels like. I'm grateful to have an island of kind, reasonable, and understanding people to call my social circle.

To survive.

Hypothetically, if I invited you to my social circle, would you accept the invitation?

How do you usually make friends?

What fandoms are you in?

I seem to have glitched out the universe's karma system.

Well add me to that list, I'm relatively famous too. How many times have people recognized you out of the blue?

Do you know any other famous people?

Well shit.
