Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I'll go first: I'm not actually the famed reclusive author Thomas Pynchon.

I was actually Richard Hell from Television and The Voidoids, the whole time.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

My username is a reference to a couple of gmen from an episode of the Venture Bros but my pfp is the Monarch, a completely different character, only connected in that the aforementioned gmen call themselves lepidopterists to imply that they're researching him (because of the butterfly motif in his costume and villainous accoutrements).

I realize this and it eats away at me that the two aren't in alignment but I've grown attached to both the pfp and the handle and I don't think I can change it now.
