clueless: 3, 4, 8
3: What’s your favorite line of narration?
I put a lot of lines in this so it’s a bit hard to choose. Either this:
Then Phichit has a wedding to plan and a shovel to buy so he can make his best man speech be maximally authentic and also maximally terrifying.
or this:
Yuuri takes another sip of the dregs of his smoothie. The sound evokes the wailing of widows and the gnashing of teeth.
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
“Everything okay?” Phichit asks, coming around the back of the table to take a seat across from Yuuri. Normally when he’s frustrated with customers Yuuri goes for a pretzel. He only goes straight for the Cinnabon when everything is at its worst. What could that douchebag have possibly said to Yuuri before Phichit got there?
Yuuri shoves a plastic forkful of calories into his mouth. He chews as slowly as possible because he is an extremely difficult child. Phichit loves him like any good father would, but still. It’s trying on his saintly patience.
“Yeah,” Yuuri says.
Phichit stares at him. He stares at him when he takes another bite. He stares at him when he takes a long pull from his smoothie straw. He stares at him until he breaks. “…no.”
“Tell me everything, my son,” Phichit says.
SHUT UP THAT COUNTS AS ONE SINGLE LINE OF DIALOGUE
8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?
Well I mean that BUY A BOTTOM GET A TOP post inspired the premise. I made a shovel joke at my best friend’s wedding. And haven’t we all felt like we might / might not need to drown ourselves in churros at one point or another?
