One time, when I was working at a summer camp as a specialty staff, my coworker/roommate who I barely talked to and barely knew randomly pulled out his switch and asked me if I could do a part of Celeste he was stuck on. I said sure, and did it for him, but then asked why he asked me in particular. He just said I ‘seemed like the type of guy to have beaten Celeste’. I haven’t started socially transitioning, so I don’t know where that vibe came from, and I still think about it
Been there, totally get it. There’s a lot of small towns you can drive through that give the same feel, as well. Once you get away from the metropolises and surrounding suburban sprawl. Like they’re all trapped in the architectural styles of decades past that the present day has forgotten.
