I went to my grandma’s house for New Year’s Eve and, because I’m not very close with this family, 9 times out of 10, I end up sitting in the corner with my phone or a sketchbook and keep my headphones on. But my aunt, for a reason I will never know, but will forever be grateful for, turned to me and asked, “Hey, have you ever seen Everything Everywhere All at Once?” (My favorite film of all time). Somehow, deep down, I think she knew was she was doing, because I talked more than I ever have at that house because she was actively engaging with me in a conversation about my favorite movie. I got to share all my fun facts and we got to talk about our favorite scenes and how amazing it was getting awards. I genuinely thought most of the people there forgot about my existence, but for some reason, she thought to ask her quiet, autistic nephew about one movie and we actually had a long and enaging conversation about it.
This is a little bit of a silly post, but I wanted to share. I spent almost four hours infodumping about the adventure zone to my sister last night and I don’t think she realizes just how much that meant to me. Like I went to bed giggly and so happy that I got to just talk about it with someone and share all this information about the show. And even though she didn’t really understand it she was genuinely engaged, asked me questions and let me show her animatics and stuff and just…gosh it was so fun. I love love love listening to my friends talk about the stuff that they enjoy I really do, but I haven’t been on the other end of that for a while and it felt so good!
