[unauthorised fan treatise] Okay, reading through this commentary. I'm at the end of Chapter 4 now.
adanteallegro
God, the way the author writes these blog posts and tumblr posts is just. SO perfect. Too perfect, even.
adanteallegro
And the way that the 4th chapter ends in one of those goddamn powerpoints
adanteallegro
Jesus, it was like I was back in 2014. The only thing it needed was random DR character sprinkled in
adanteallegro
I'll be reading a few chapters on and off tonight, in between classes and drawing.
HOOUS POOUS
ash hole
I'M SO FUCKING GLAD YOU'RE READING
🍎 apple witch
i just looked this up and holy shit this sounds like a ride??
ash hole
it's a goddamn ROLLERCOASTER
ash hole
the rabbit hole DOES NOT STOP GOING
adanteallegro
I have no doubts this is going to get crazier. Gottie's got the man's address, all for the name of saying that two guys are in a relationship
adanteallegro
The question is: how is this going to get crazier
ash hole
oh you have no idea
adanteallegro
Gotta do this next class, and then it's more reading
adanteallegro
Okay let's read Chapter 5
adanteallegro
So, while reading this, I have to remember that this all ends in a murder
adanteallegro
It's definitely painting a picture that Gottie is the murderer of...someone. But I wonder.
adanteallegro
Maybe there's a reason who is the murdered and who is the murderer isn't explicitly stated in these records yet.
adanteallegro
Who would drop 13,000 smackaroos out of the blue
adanteallegro
And I love how he just responds with saying that he'll do a prompt for everyone as a thank you
adanteallegro
Hm hmmmmm, so it's okay for Gottie to look into Rob's past, but it's NOT okay for anyone to look at Gottie's past, huh?
adanteallegro
Okay, here comes Chapter 6
adanteallegro
Bulldog is the best character in the story
adanteallegro
Gottie
adanteallegro
GOTTIE
adanteallegro
GOTTIE
adanteallegro
THIS IS ILLEGAL YOU KNOW
adanteallegro
MMMMMMMMMM
adanteallegro
Jesus Christ it only gets worse from here doesn't it
adanteallegro
Gottie's hyjinks I mean, not the story, this shit is good
adanteallegro
Hang on, now, wait a minute. I'm willing to bet that both Rob and Nathan already know what's going on here. Especially since Rob retweeted that awful powerpoint, and Nathan calls out on the girl scout cookies thing.
adanteallegro
And if her essay's getting a million views? Shit's not so easy to cover up.
adanteallegro
Okay, chapter 7 time
adanteallegro
"I don't usually invite colleagues to my mom's house" You are a high school senior, Gottie
adanteallegro
"They deserve their privacy" Gottie.
adanteallegro
Ooooooooooh! Someone's in trouuuublllllle
adanteallegro
Well, who knows, it was by an anonymous user.
adanteallegro
Chapter 8 time
adanteallegro
Someone ratted her out, okay, your essays have like a kajillion views
adanteallegro
"I have Google and a modicum of intelligence" I have the power of God AND anime on my side
adanteallegro
I'm kin with Jayden JESUS CHRIST
adanteallegro
MmmmmMMMMMMMMM
adanteallegro
Okay, more coffee and then it's Chapter 9 time
adanteallegro
Mayhaps the two are together. But not as a couple.
adanteallegro
Maybe it's none of our business.
adanteallegro
Another interesting tidbit: in an interview, there's talk about a sports car, and how one of them often goes for long drives.
adanteallegro
In another interview, Nathan says that he tinkers with a sports car, but doesn't actually drive it anywhere.
adanteallegro
Interesting.
adanteallegro
Oh my god, sockpuppets
adanteallegro
We're dealing with the reallllly old terms now
adanteallegro
Chapter 10 already kicks things off with a bang
adanteallegro
'I'M NOT STALKING THEM' Oh. my god.
adanteallegro
HmmMMMMMMMMMMM CHAPTER 11 HERE WE GO
adanteallegro
So, Rob lied about the whole plagarizing thing, good god this could be an episode of Down the Rabbit Hole
adanteallegro
And the comments keep going up...
adanteallegro
8|
adanteallegro
CHAPTER12
adanteallegro
GOTTIE, JESUS CHRIST
adanteallegro
'They took my laptop, they don't want me to know he's dating Nathan!'
adanteallegro
Oh my god this is bigger than that. This is bigger than that, I just know it
adanteallegro
And that's it. Nothing else happened. /doubt
adanteallegro
Okay I think I have enough time to squeeze out one more chapter before my next class.
adanteallegro
OH OKAY WE'RE JUST GONNA START IT UP LIKE THAT THEN HUH
adanteallegro
adanteallegro
I have to stop reading this now because I have a class coming up but my god.
adanteallegro
My god, this is so good.
adanteallegro
It captures that fandom drama incredibly well, it even makes me feel just as uneasy as actual internet drama!
adanteallegro
...is nathan dead. Is he the one that died.
adanteallegro
IS GOTTIE NOW BEING RUN BY A SOCK PUPPET
adanteallegro
IS ROB THE ONE POSING AS GOTTIE NOW
adanteallegro
OKAY. Okay. After this class, I'm gonna read chapter 14.
adanteallegro
That was both the shortest and longest class ever. OKAY CHAPTER 15 HERE WE GO
adanteallegro
I'm going to see how much I can read in the next 25 minutes
adanteallegro
There's mention of a car again
adanteallegro
Yeah, i was thinking that this was perhaps a money laundering thing. But why make it public?
adanteallegro
Oh god, an interlude for headcanons.
adanteallegro
Despite all of the shady stuff, she's still extremely thirsty for this ship.
adanteallegro
OOOOOH HERE COMES THE GOOD SHIT
adanteallegro
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH
adanteallegro
OKAY, gotta stop at the end of chapter 24.
adanteallegro
MMMMMMMMMMM
adanteallegro
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
adanteallegro
Okay. Okay. Done with classes. I'm going to read these last few chapters before I leave my work area.
adanteallegro
Hey, why the fuck would you write a hurt comfort fic with the dead and assumed murderer around.
adanteallegro
That comment really reminded me of when someone wrote a Hetalia fanfic based on the Aurora movie theater shooting...like a couple of days after that happened.
adanteallegro
Aaaaand as someone who lived close to there and knew actual people who could have gone in. Nope. No. You never write shit about that.
adanteallegro
Chapter 27 here we go boys
adanteallegro
"I found that I can ignore the truth for the sake of my OTP" 
Oh my GOD
Oh my GOD
adanteallegro
YEAH I DUNNO, I think learning about the killer and finding the dead body would leave a horrible taste in my mouth?
adanteallegro
Well Gottie's pretty shameless about the whole thing
adanteallegro
Aaaah, and there's her backstory.
adanteallegro
HmmmMMMMMMMM
adanteallegro
So this was all a ploy
adanteallegro
All a ploy to get back at a guy that accused her of plagarizing a fic.
adanteallegro
It alllllll comes back to the whole fandom thing
adanteallegro
Oh god it just keeps going
adanteallegro
Hot DAMN
adanteallegro
That was a great story
adanteallegro
And now I need to do what I always need to do after reading any kind of internet drama: go and take a shower and pretend the internet doesn't exist
ash hole
AHAHAHAHAHA
adanteallegro
Pen I don't know what to believe anymore
ash hole
THATS WHY IM IN TWO CONSPIRACY PLURKS WITH 500+ COMMENTS BECAUSE THATS ALL WE CAN TALK ABOUT
adanteallegro
I keep thinking about this story today. Like. Did she really want to get revenge on Rob for the money laundering or because he accused her of plagiarizing?
adanteallegro
Because honestly with Gottie? I wouldn't be surprised if the money laundering stuff took a back seat.
adanteallegro
But the money laundering stuff sounds better on a case than high school drama.
adanteallegro
WAIT A MINUTE WE STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT ROB AND NATHAN'S RELATIONSHIP
adanteallegro
Out of all of the mysteries
HOOUS POOUS
HAHA RIGHT??
adanteallegro
THIS one wasn't solved?!
adanteallegro
Oh goddamn that is just delicious
adanteallegro
Looking back at my earlier responses, oh man I guess I called it on Rob knowing what was going on early in the story!
adanteallegro
I really could've sworn that Nathan's car would play a bigger role, considering all of the talk about it.
adanteallegro
Hot damn, I need to reread this soon. Get a new perspective on the story.
ash hole
there's a loooot of things that just don't add up and a lot of seemingly innocuous details
ash hole
also the implication that there's gonna be a sequel with that podcast
ash hole
so who knows. maybe we'll get more :3
HOOUS POOUS
you know what detail throws ME? that nathan and his ex-wife bonded over "netflix and chill"... but netflix didn't exist in 2007, right?
ash hole
adanteallegro
I know that Netflix existed as a DVD rental mailing service before they hit it big in the early 2010s - I remember renting a few DVDs back in college in like...2008?
adanteallegro
So it's entirely possible that they just received DVDs in the mail through their rental system
adanteallegro
Google says that Netflix was found in 1997 apparently, which....huh!
