    Summary

    The whiteboard is the catalyst, but it really isn’t. It tips over a series of dominoes that lead to Jay’s bedroom, get under his feet, and walk him out the door. But, in the morning after, when the whiteboard has that big, capital D ‘Don’t’ on it, and Matt won’t be honest about having written it, despite it clearly being his handwriting, the whiteboard isn’t the catalyst, because Matt gets up on the couch and erases it, and it’s almost like it wasn’t there to begin with.

    A retro/prospective on Jay McCarrol's fame.

    Summary

    It was true that Matt was obsessed with the idea of *having had* sex, but he didn’t show any interest in trying to pursue anybody. What Matt was mostly interested in was Jay being involved, somehow. How could he not understand that this was too much to ask, even for them? Matt didn’t ever seem to feel bad about needing things from people.

    Summary

    Matt and Owen have a movie night while they're at Matt's family's cottage. Things devolve from there.

    --

    Within the first fifteen minutes, Matt turns to him and says, breathy with laughter, "Dutch sounds stupid, eh? Like English and German all mixed up and turned inside out."

    "C'mon, man, I'm trying to keep up with the captions," Owen says. "Can you not…"

    "Not talk? But that's half the fun. Oh, shit, she's taking her top off, look. You can always rely on Verhoeven for tit shots. The man loves tits. We should re-watch Starship Troopers sometime."

    Summary

    (Post-movie Jay gets triggered by the Pokémon movie and cries about it. Matt gets a boner and gets real weird with it.)

    Something slices through Jay.
    Something about death and thundershocks.
    Something about lightning strikes and losing life partners.

    Time seems to stop and Matt is slamming the PRTSCN button on his mental keyboard forty times in rapid succession. Jay’s side profile here has to be preserved for future historians. Ornithologists. Whatever.

    Summary

    The only reason Charlie is suffering like this, choking on his own blood like roadkill, is because (as Allan has explained [repeatedly]): he insists on struggling. If he just let Allan perform the procedure as originally planned — a neat, surgical severing of the aorta or (provisionally) really any major artery of Allan's choice — there wouldn't be any opportunity for the theatrics Charlie loves to put both of them through, like for example what he's doing now, gesturing for some kind of vaporizer or e-cigarette cartridge to be delivered to his deathbed.
