CF1: Did this woman just… reel us in with the gossip about the genre celebrity, only to then go on a monologue tangent about women’s reproductive rights?!
CF2: (Oddly impressed) Yeah…? Yeah, I think she just did?
CF3: That was fucking badass! I love her too, now!!! (Laughing)
CF4: You wouldn’t predict it if you met her in real life. I’ve been to where she works, she’s a really nice lady. But you wouldn’t think, behind all the polite smiles and customer service, she’s thinking all these things about women’s rights?!?!!?
CF1: Right, like, why doesn’t she just dive into activism? Why is she working retail? What’s going on with that?
CF2: Maybe it’s her cousins? She’s not allowed or something?!
CF3: Is that even real? I thought that was definitely fiction.
CF4: If it’s real, she definitely doesn’t have the same last names as any of those cousins, so it’s hard to dig on the internet.
CF1: I don’t really care whether it’s real or not… I agree, I’m falling in love with her too! And now I’m questioning my whole sexuality?!?!!
CF2: Nah, nah, they’re both… like… they both that… you know, what I mean?!
CF3: Yes… I’m starting to see it too… she’s like… his other half…
CF4: His Soul Mate… YES! She really is!!!
CF1: How would we know?! How would we know what his Soul really is?! Isn’t it just for people who’ve met him?!
CF2: Maybe there’s something more to it. Or maybe it’s our projections of his Soul. But she’s so creative, she’s managed to paint a picture… of what his Soul “might be” and what her Soul “might be” — and they fit. They fit together like this. Even if it’s a fictionalisation of what their Souls actually are — maybe only the two of them know, in real life. But this fictionalised version of their Souls — it sort of… makes a lot of sense?
CF3: It’s relatable. It’s many couples. There’s lots of husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, who talk… like this! There’s slight variations in topics and dynamics, but this is a normal relationship.
CF4: Yeah I don’t think even the queer community feels as relatable as some might hope that this type of writing will reach — it might just be profitable for a straight market. If she ever does take this blog to a publisher.
CF1: I think there could be different versions… like you know how Taylor Swift releases different versions of her albums? She’s got so much content on this blog, and it’s still growing… she’s tagging everything… there could be different versions of this blog… cut and pasted out… surrounding different themes to market to different audiences…
CF2: Okay? And aren’t we all just right now — voices of HER imagination?!!?
CF3: (Giggling) Yes! And we are in love! We love her!!! We know why HE loves her…
CF4: It’s not just one thing, though… people keep lurking, keep stalking, keep trying to “figure this out” but it’s never one thing. They might go to him and say some stuff that reminds him of her — and he’ll react. He’ll always react — but in a harmless way. He’ll just laugh it off. Or say something polite. Because they’re not her. They’re not her in her 360 form. They can’t grasp — they can’t clone…
CF1: You can’t clone her… you can’t even make a robot girlfriend to BE her…
CF2: No, and you can’t really make a robot boyfriend to be HIM either…
CF3: Well…? If I had the money to buy a robot boyfriend version of him?! (Really thinking about this) I just might buy it!!! (Giggles)
CF4: I don’t know if they could program it to have the same spontaneous charm…
CF1: It’s just like making out with a cardboard cut-out. If you have the money to buy one, fine, go do it.
CF2: (LOL) Well, doesn’t him or his company need to give permission for stuff like that?
CF3: Has that ever stopped anyone in the Dark Web?
CF4: Eewwww… Dark Web stuff…
CF1: We’ll protect them, as much as we can… we’re the REAL FANS.
CF2: The TRUE FANS.
CF3: The Best BEST Friends type of fans. We love them BOTH. Actually — and he’ll know, when we mention her like in a joke — we love them BOTH.
CF4: It’ll be so delightful, it’ll be the closest we get to making his day. If we can bring her up, in a cute way — in a non-confronting way. It’ll bring some joy to his day.
CF1: We love them like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift!
CF2: Yessss!!! That is so them! I mean, not exactly — but the VIBE — the vibe is there!!!
CF3: So it’s decided. A very specialised sub-segment of the fandom. Only a small handful of us know… because only a small handful of us are reading her blog as well…
CF4: If you read and follow her blog, you know she’s his Soul Mate. You just know…
CF1: Can I please find a partner like this as well?! Like sure, I’ve given up on HIM the human person behind the character — but where’s MY Travis Kelce?!
CF2: I think… she’s getting there with the writing… maybe even in the poetry… like… she’s unravelling… how to find him…
CF3: Or, how to allow him… to find her…?
CF4: Or it doesn’t matter who finds who. They’re Soul Mates. They’ll just appear…
CF1: Who keeps copying and pasting her writing into the Discord?!
CF2: Oops, that’s me.
CF3: Do you think she cares?
CF4: Nah… not if it’s just a private Discord for genuine fans of both…
