Is Filler Killer Untiller You Realize It’s Not-er?

[inanimateinsanityfan]

Greetings again, all of my wonderful, amazing readers.  Have I ever mentioned before just how much I love you?  For I surely do.  Love you that is.  Indeedly so.  …do you see what I just did?  I was looking for a creative way to introduce the concept of filler- see, there’s no need for me to go on and on about how great you all are (cause you already should KNOW IT!  :D) and therefore, it is what I would define as “filler.”  Unnecessary information, a piece of the puzzle that was shipped with the rest of the box and you spent a while wondering “hmm where does it fit?” only to discover it was just an extra and you wasted all that time?  That’s exactly the feeling I get when a show throws up a new plot element on the screen that ends up ultimately going nowhere!  So what did it matter if the guy’s sister-in-law was a kleptomaniac?  Or if the psychotic bully was forced to fall in love with the random other character no one cared about?  

As you can see, I’ve been burned before, so I’m always on edge to see if someone is trying to waste my time!  That’s why I immediately accused MePhone of creating filler when he mentioned trying something low-key.  Now, some people have said that a good show can actually benefit from some stretches of time where the characters can just lay back and reflect on new situations, and this really helps to develop them.  I can see where they’re coming from, but they’re completely wrong and it’s kind of sickening.  I don’t watch a program for things to not happen.  I prefer when things happen in things, but maybe that’s just me.

That being said, ever since our little run-in with Cobs, I can’t help but shake the feeling things are getting a little more introspective and serious.  I guess I just don’t know what to make of it yet.  Perhaps I have to just wait to see how things play out and then look at the overarching storyline in retrospect.  But that would require patience, so I have mixed feelings on that.

Fan Blog: Confessions I Confess I Forced Someone to Give

[inanimateinsanityfan]

Hello at last, all fans of the Fan!  You may be wondering- say, didn’t you use to have a blog on the official Inanimate Insanity website?  Ah, you see, the key phrase is “use to.”  There were some, well, let’s call them creative differences, that basically amounted to MePhone not wanting the II page to be “bogged down by drawn-out, meandering fanfiction.”  MePhone may think he won that battle, but look who has an exclusive interview with him on their OWN DOMAIN now!!!  Here you guys go (I typed it from memory as soon as the inci-er, interview concluded, so it’s pretty accurate!)-

F: Hey MePhone, quick question, I noticed that whenever I try to load up the admin page to inanimateinsanity.com, I get redirected to a big red “x” with a fire animation behind it.  Weird glitch, right?
M: It’s not a glitch.
F: Excuse me?
M: You’re a glitch.
F: I beg your pardon?
M: Okay Fan, real talk.  You know I appreciate the enthusiasm, right?
F: You’ve made no indication of that whatsoever, no.
M: Listen, I’m trying to give you a compliment sandwich.
F: A what?
M: Y’know, when you want to criticize someone but you don’t want to seem rude, so you throw in two vague, meaningless nice things to cushion the blow?
F: Wow, sad as it is to admit, I’d sure kill for a compliment sandwich right about now.
M: Great!  Your blogs suck.  But thank you for making this easier for me.  There, I did it!  I made the sandwich!
F: S-suck?  If by “suck” you mean that in order to write them I suck out my soul and transplant it into the page, then thanks!  Of course I don’t really believe that’s what you meant, I just wanted to feel like I put a clever spin on words.
M: That’d certainly be a first!
F: Alright, NOW you’re just being rude.
M: You’re right, I’m sorry.  We are friends, right?
F: Oh yes, because the nature of this conversation clearly indicates you value my companionship.
M: No really.  I just- can I be honest here?
F: O- of course.
M: Alright.  I just kind of have trouble verbalizing what I really want to say?  So a lot of my thoughts just come out as these little attacks.
F: Oh?
M: Yeah… they’re just so second nature to me, I say them to fill in the gaps… otherwise I wouldn’t really know how to chime in.
F: You have no idea how much I can relate to that.
M: Right?  Saying “You’re an idiot” is just a lot easier than saying “Hey, in the end of the day, I care about you, alright?”
F: Wow MePhone.  I never knew there was this whole other side to you.  I feel so much closer to you now.
M: You know what Fan, through this unlikely set of circumstances, I’ve come to feel the same way.
F: This actually makes me want to confess something myself.
M: Go ahead.
F: Well… honestly, before I had this egg, I don’t think I actually cared about… anybody.  Everything I saw was just through a screen, y’know?  That creates a big disconnect.  But even then, it wasn’t until I, totally by chance, struck up a conversation with Test Tube, who could, in a manner far more articulate than I could ever personally compose, explain to me so much about the world that I had never realized I had any reason to get excited about (like I mean seriously- did you air the stuff about the moon phases?  If not, let me know, ya gotta hear what she had to say)- it wasn’t until then… that I started to figure out HOW to care.  I just really needed to admit that.  Also I made up the second half of this interview.

And that was my little one-on-one with MePhone!  Hope you all enjoyed, I certainly learned a lot!  Until next time!

[sacrificethemtothesquid]

I’m adding here that I don’t actually check my followers list ever - I only ever check the number if I’ve had a rash of new follows - so if you’ve got any anxiety about offending me, don’t worry, because I literally won’t see. Your dash is your safe and happy spot, and if my content doesn’t jive with what you want to see…that’s fine with me.
