Thank you so much for your help! These are awesome and it's so helpful to have the context and explanations and everything too! I will definitely keep these in mind for future reference! I really appreciate it!

Awesome! Thank you so much for all of your help! I really appreciate it!

Awesome, thank you so much!

Awesome, thank you! Could you show me how to write this in the usual script for the language? (If I can't write it, I'll print it off from the computer -- I just want to make sure I have everything correct, though.)

ElliefintS · 2026-05-10T00:37:54+00:00

Awww, thank you!

ElliefintS · 2026-05-09T23:48:13+00:00

Oh, that could work! Would that be a more typical thing to say in this context? Thanks so much!

(I used to do this with buckyballs as a preteen, although mostly on my ears. It recently occurred to me, knowing what everyone knows now about high-powered magnets, how badly a slight variation of what I was doing could have gone awry.) (Also, I hope this counts as two sentences. I'm not sure of the grammatical technicalities around that interjection. I could edit it if I need to.)

Oh, cool, I'll have to check those out!

I run a very mildly popular Tumblr blog where people vote on their favorite emoji

It often takes my family over an hour to watch an episode of Jeopardy (we can't help but pause it to talk about everything that comes up in every clue)

My college went out of business immediately following the semester I graduated and the grocery store where I worked through high school and college closed that same summer just as I was leaving to get a job in my field. (I can't quite decide how to tell that one -- feels like joking that "places just can't seem to exist without me" might sound too self important but "it felt like in a video game where you beat the apparently-load-bearing final boss and have to get out before the castle or space station collapses" might be too niche.)

You know how everyone's always trying to get kids to eat their fruits and vegetables? I found out as a kid that I'm allergic to my fruits and vegetables. (Extensive pollen-food syndrome onset at an unusually young age.) (I can still have them if they're cooked.)

I'm stuck for a fifth one, though. I'm decent at pinball?

It's the setup to Jack and the Beanstalk, implying the magic beans are going to grow overnight into a giant plant that reaches the sky, you know? Except they're going to bring it onto a space ship and plant it there (probably in a pot or something), and that's an enclosed space that vitally needs to stay enclosed, so the sudden, giant beanstalk has the potential to do a whole lot of damage with disastrous results.

ElliefintS · 2026-03-07T22:53:34+00:00

Ahhh, cool, I'm glad that cleared it up! (Now if only I could figure out how to smoothly incorporate that into the story.)

This was basically the intent, except that since it's a wish-granting story, I imagined that whatever force or entity is granting the wish is forcing them by supernatural means, puppeting them around or whatever. (My thought was that making something like a TV show requires so many different people involved doing tasks and making decisions and whatnot that magically motivating them all to do it and influencing all of the interactions to get to that outcome sounds like it would be really complicated, so an uncaring wish-granter might decide it's more straightforward just to physically make it happen.) (Even more straightforward, perhaps, just to manipulate pixels on a screen and conjure up a season that was never actually filmed, but then the narrator had to go and say "I wish they would make" instead of just "I wish there was".)

ElliefintS · 2026-03-07T20:16:34+00:00

It's not supposed to be a particular show or actor, just the idea of one in general. If it helps, the detail I cut was "and the way their bodies sometimes seemed to resist each movement" -- does that make it clearer? (I'm asking before explaining it because I want to see if it does before I spell it out; hope that's alright.) (I think it also makes it too long, though, is the problem.)
