I sincerely hope in your angry rant you roasted her MIT shirts, because as a fellow Sept 4th Virgo (and self-respecting butch), the ‘uniform’ just kills me every time.

What a roller coaster! Can’t wait for the rest of the story, glad you made it out in one piece.

We love to see a fellow 09/04 gay! And no, I never roasted her for her shirts. But I’ll know I’ve made it when people dress up in MIT gear, brown wigs, and blurred faces for Halloween. That would be the ultimate roast.

This entire chapter is such a nightmare scenario, but Ashley's misuse of "ironic" has put me over the edge. Life sentence in a maximum security prison, please.

Lol, like Alanis Morissette's song about a bunch of things that just suck, and are def not ironic. Catchy tune tho

I agree, misuse of “ironic” is the real crime here.

Yeah, we're gonna need more on this:

"It turned out that everyone had an Ashley story. She had alienated nearly half of Silver Lake."

Pretty please :)

I'm gonna try to squeeze it into the next few episodes, this chapter had SO MUCH happening that I had to make some cuts 🤣

Can’t wait to see how you incorporate it all! 😄

Like little adjacent short stories 📚

Wow, sounds like Ashley made quite the impact on Silver Lake!

That’s the inherent danger of taking a chance on someone. If you are honest and open and try to make a lasting connection, that means they know how to hurt you so easily. It’s nothing for Ashley to say she might send your photos off, but it’s the casual cruelty that makes it SO dangerous to ever let someone in again.

It broke my heart for you when you said you just wanted to fall in love and instead you got Ashley. It’s a stunning miracle that people ever try again. I hope you do find whatever you are you are looking for, and that next time, it’s so easy.

Absolutely. In all of the relationships I've had post-Ashley i've been very guarded, and that's not fair to the other person because I want to be open and honest and free. But, I have no doubt the stars will align and send me someone incredible who is not a catfisher.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. It’s truly heartbreaking when someone betrays your trust like that. I hope you find the love and connection you deserve in the future.

Will you text Ashley for me and see if she has plans for the 4th? Interested.

You'd have to sweeten the offer by also going to university studios for the little sister's birthday (call back to episode 12!)

(Did that child go to college or beauty school or intern or anything?)

Chantel, where you at??

Something tells me this isn't the first time Stacey has been told Ashley is extremely unwell; or that she's been urged to get her professional help before there's a disaster.

She's probably ignored that advice dozens of times since A's youth.... cause, ya know, it'd cramp her style and fun time.

P.s. are stacey and claudia losing their shit over this series? .....look yonder at the barren field upon which i grow my fucks to give

Stacey is so so damaged.

OMG. I haven't even started reading yet but I've been worried about this USB drive from the beginning. I'm afraid to look

I'm starting to really dislike Ashley.

Also, Kirsten is probably your smartest friend.
