An Interview with Actress Amanda Celine Miller

Uncategorized

Lethal Lightning and I sat down with actress Amanda Celine Miller!

Blabbering Collector: How did you hear about Geeks + Gamers?

Amanda: I actually found out about Geeks + Gamers through my friend Gothix, who was on Friday Night Tights. YouTube recommended it to me, and I was like, “Who are these nerds? Why is this five hours long?” I was only planning on watching it to support her and watch the first thirty minutes or so. But then I ended up watching the whole thing, and I was like, “That was so fun!” It was just people shooting their shit and having a good time! I started to watch a bunch of archived episodes of FNT, and then I started to watch Tuesday Night’s Main Event (TNME), and I was like, “These people are all really cool! I want them to be my friends!” Gothix and Eric July are my red pill mommy and daddy. I found Eric back in 2020.

I randomly emailed Jeremy at one point, and I said, “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I’m a voice actress, and I’ve been watching you guys, and I love what you’re doing. It’s been fun to have a space to just talk where no one cared about each other’s politics. Thank you for what you’re doing!” And then Jeremy invited me on to TNME, and everyone’s sort of embraced me and accepted me, and it’s been fun!

BC: How did you wake up from the hive mind of Hollywood?

A: I’ve always been one of those devil’s advocate people, just because, as an actor, you’re not supposed to be biased. I don’t get it. We are the most judgmental people, yet we are supposed to be able to play every kind of human! I look at every role I’m playing, and if I’m playing a villain, I see that this villain doesn’t actually think they are a villain. So, let’s see what their perspective is. I’ve always been that type of person in life anyway.  I lived in LA for about ten years. It gets to you because everyone around you thinks the exact same way. It’s not just California; it’s the entire acting industry. So you assume that it’s everyone’s opinion and everyone thinks the same way! But then I started to question things, and I would see the pushback. I said that I had liked the Roseanne reboot, and people were like, “How dare you? She’s a racist!” I thought the show was balanced and funny! I liked the old Roseanne, and I like the new one! I thought it was cool.

Just, like, little things. I had dated a “Trump supporter” once, and all my friends were like, “You need to repent! How could you? How could you sleep at night?” And I’m like, “Pretty well! TMI.” I was having better conversations with him, who, at the time, I was being told was my mortal enemy, than I was with some of my friends. And then I realized it wasn’t about politics; it was about being open-minded, and it’s about [being] emphatic. I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I care about you, and I’m going to hear you out. People in Hollywood are only willing to do that if you agree with them. That isn’t real empathy.

I would say it was prior to 2018 when I started to realize the disillusion with the Hollywood bubble. A lot of these people are incredibly nice, but they think their worldview is the only righteous one. For creativity, it isn’t a very creative way of thinking. I left LA in 2018. Back in 2016, I was upset that Trump was elected, and everyone was like, “This is the end of the world!” and I was like, “Oh, no, this is the end of the world!” I was just going along with everyone else. But then I called a couple of my dad’s friends, as I knew they had voted for Trump, and I was like, “Can I talk to you? I’ve been told you’re a racist and all these things, but I know you love me and my family, and I respect you. I want to know your take.” And I had a great conversation with all of them. I remember being, “Oh, this doesn’t sound so bad.” It didn’t convert me to their side, but I realized I was missing some information.

One of the biggest and most glaring things for me that made me realize I lived in two separate worlds was back in 2017 when Melania Trump’s Christmas decorations were making headlines. My liberal friends were all like, “Look at the evil Nightmare Before Christmas decorations,” and I was like, “This is too good to be true.” You know, you see these evil people, and all their decorations are from a Tim Burton movie. And then, I saw some of my conservative friends posting stuff, and these photos were showing a beautiful winter wonderland. I thought, “This is the same White House… these photos were taken at different times, and the lighting was manipulating the photos.” I realized they were pitting us against each other, and I made a Facebook post about it, and none of my liberal friends liked it – granted, because it made them look like fools. But I was just trying to say that if something this small, like Christmas decorations, is being used to pit us against each other, imagine what they are doing on the important issues.

BC: It makes you think, right?

A: And who knows? Maybe Facebook didn’t even show it to them.

BC: Have you received any pushback or any sort of consequences from waking up?

A: Not really; only a few individuals tried to cancel me, but at the same time, I’ve been kind of a chicken about it. You and I kind of talked about this, the parallel thing where I’m doing my comedy, and I’m free to say what I want and can express the opinions as a human, and then my acting stuff. When you are an actor, you are not really free as a person. You are someone else’s mouthpiece. You are saying other people’s words and speaking about someone else product. You know? Like, you are the voice of the brand. Like in Marvel, you think, “Oh, they are an A-lister; they must have so much power!” They do have influence, but their contracts are intense. The things they cannot do or say or be a part of… their image belongs to their employer. As an actor, it’s a lot harder to speak their mind because then you have companies who are like, “I don’t want you representing my product anymore.”

I need to get over that at some point, but it’s hard when these people who are [my] friends for the last ten years are about to abandon me just by being myself. And I know the saying, “If they were truly your friend, they wouldn’t abandon you,” but it still hurts anyways. It’s hard. You don’t want your colleagues to turn on you. I got a little bit of that when I was on a specific person’s podcast. A friend texted me and was like, “I cannot believe you did this and went on this hateful person’s podcast.” And I was like, “What?” I’m not tied up to all of this anime drama that everyone seems to care about because I have a life! I went on this stream, and it was perfectly fine; it was a lovely experience. There are a lot of narcissists in this industry, but a lot of actors are empathetic. They are sensitive and emotional people. You got a blend of different types. Unfortunately, the loudest tend to be the most toxic.

BC: Do you have any issues keeping your private life private?

A: Yes, because my dad is a boomer and doesn’t understand privacy settings. He was visiting once, took a picture of his meal at a restaurant that we were at, tagged the restaurant, and captioned it, “We are at this delicious restaurant, right by Amanda’s house!” And I’m like, “DAD! If your settings are public, and this restaurant is right by my house…” Like, you have to be a lot more careful when you live in the public life.

BC: That’s actually kinda scary, to be honest! There are a lot of nutjobs out there.

A: My dad had posted on social media about how proud he was of me back when I first started, and I cannot get it disconnected from my Wiki page! It’s out there now.

BC: Do you have any advice for people who want to get into acting/voice acting?

A:

BC: What is your favorite thing about conventions?

A: You get to see the impact of your work because when you are in the booth by yourself, you’re kinda like, “Maybe people are watching this; I dunno.” So when people come up to your table and are like, “Oh my gosh, I watch the show with my kids! I watched it when I was growing up, and now my kids are watching it,” it’s just cool to see. I don’t like crowds, so hearing how the shows impacted someone is incredible. It’s cool to see people passionate about something in large groups. It’s also nice to see the things that you were made fun of for in high school be popular today, and have an outlet to meet others with the same passion.

BC: How is your gardening going?

A: Not great.

BC: Oh no!

A: I didn’t realize you can’t be an empathetic gardener. I was like, “Nature will take care of it. In nature, these plants survive!” I was in France for a week for a family thing, and I didn’t ask a friend to water anything for me because I was like, “Oh, it is a week; who cares!” But it was a week where it was 100 degrees every day! I came back, and everything had wilted, and I don’t know… it’s fine. I’m learning.

BC: Aren’t you glad you didn’t get a duck?

A: I know! That’s the thing. I’ve been obsessed with getting ducks, Lethal. Chickens are fine, but…

BC: Chickens suck.

A: Yeah, they are like, “I’m a little dinosaur; I’m cranky.” And they just die for no reason, and they just get sick for no reason, whereas ducks like the water and are cute, and I think their eggs are more nutritious. And also, you can teach a duck how to slip and slide.

Lethal: Lightning: Well, I’m convinced. I’m getting a duck now.

A: Yeah! And you watch videos of ducks online, and they are just so cute. You can get them a little kiddie pool, a slide… they are very playful. At one point, I was looking at getting goats for goat milk.

BC: Yeah, I remember that!

A:  But goats are escape artists. And, again, I’m apparently not so vigilant.

BC: Do you like to collect? If so, what is your focus?

A: No, because I’m very messy and disorganized. So, for me, if I don’t have a place to put things, I just put them on the floor, and it stresses me out. At cons, people want to give me stuff, and I’m like, “Oh, thank you!” but I’m incredibly stressed and wondering, “Where am I going to put this?” Some people have a room where they put all their things, like Funko, and maybe I should because I just haven’t hung anything yet, except for Big George. Actually, I don’t know how he killed himself.

BC: Oh, my God!

L: *Chuckles* Oh, hey!

A: I don’t know how, and I don’t know where. Because if I find out that it was, like, in my room, I’m not going to be able to sleep anymore.

BC: Right at the spot where you sleep.

A: “If you peel back the wallpaper, you can see the blood splatter!” I don’t want to know. Yeah. Anyway, I never was someone who collected. I like to experience. Oh, I collect debt! I’ll go on this trip and be like, “Charge it!”

BC: Anything you want to say to your viewers, audience, and haters?

A: That’s a lot of people in one! Even the people who like me, I can just be like, “Eat a dick!” That can mean a lot of different things, you know? It could be offensive. It could mean, “For your health.” I dunno; it could be for fun, maybe. “I wish you well!” A good, happy sex life. I don’t know. I would say to everyone that you are in control of you. Now, that can be a good thing and a bad thing. It means you are responsible for your life, so whilst there are circumstances that you cannot control, for the most part, you can control how you respond to them. There are more things you can control than you could possibly imagine, unless, I dunno, you are chained to a radiator or something like that.

A: You can’t control everything, but pick what you can control. Work on that! I’m so much happier now than when I had a victim mentality or when I had an idea that the world and the system [were] against me. And then [I realized] that there are very few things that stand in my way, and if there are, I try to find a way around it or work within that thing, and often I get more creative that way. I want everyone to feel more empowered. That is my thing. To me, empowerment is not saying, “Oh, you’re a victim, you are this and that…” We’ve all had stuff happen to us, but why would you define yourself by the worst thing that someone else did to you? Empowerment is saying, “Yeah, stuff happened to me, but I am in control.” That is what I would say. Even to the haters, I want them to be empowered because a lot of people who are unhappy feel like they are helpless, like they can’t control the world around them. Even to you guys, too, even to your radiator friend, Lethal.

L: Nah, nah, he’s no good.

A: You’re like, “That’s why he got chained there in the first place! He’s been a little prick!”

L: How did you get into voice acting?

A: I was always a performer. I would make little skits as a kid and perform for people. But I was also incredibly shy and was like, “I’m a performer; don’t look at me!” My parents were always questioning how this would work. “You want to perform, but you don’t want people looking at you?” And I was like, “Uh-huh. I figured it out! Voiceover!”

I did theater in middle school and high school, and that really helped me get out of my shell. Then, in college, I was like, “Oh, voice acting is a real job.” Like, as a kid, I could recognize the voices of the actors and be like, “The voice of Chuckie from Rugrats is also the voice of Dexter from Dexter’s Laboratory.” Just from the credits, I paid attention to that stuff. So, I don’t think I explicitly was like, “I’m going to be a voice actor,” but I knew I was going to be an actor. So, in college, I was going to go to New York to be on Broadway to be a musical theater performer. I did this acting workshop called “Adventures In Voice Acting,” and I had a blast! At the end of the workshop, the director, voice actor Tony Oliver, pulled me aside and was like, “Hey, you have a future in this business.” And I was like, “That’s very Hollywood of you.”

It got me thinking about what I wanted to do when I graduated. I went back the year after for an intermediate class, and that’s when I realized that that was what I wanted to do, and I started to shift my plans off New York and move to LA because you can do voice and camera over there. I moved to LA right after graduation and did an internship at a voiceover studio, and whilst I was getting everyone coffee, I kept thinking, “Great, this is my shot!” And thankfully, they threw me a bone every once in a while and would be like, “Hey, come on in, do some background voices.” We call it Walla. They then saw that I wasn’t crazy and was pretty decent at it, so they gave me one-liners here and there, like a waiter or something. And then, eventually, they started to let me audition for actual characters, and I started to book some roles. So I booked a lot and built up my resume, and could get an agent. It’s just built up from there over the past twelve years.

Normally, when I don’t feel like talking, my answer is to kill the voice actor of your type who is at the top of their game so you get their roles.

L: You become them. It’s like if you eat someone’s brain, you get their memories.

A: Yeah. So I’m fully aware that the next up-and-coming generation of tomboyish-sounding women is after me. But I’ve been training. And I’m ready.

L: So every girl out there that wants to be the new Sailor Jupiter is coming for you. There can be only one.

A: Yeah. And I’m like, “I got twelve years of experience on you. I am trained.” I’ve got my new arsenal. My friend is letting me borrow her flamethrower.

L: When you were early into your career, did you have a voice actor or actress that you took inspiration from?

A: Oh, yeah, a lot of the ones I grew up watching, like Rob Paulsen, Jennifer Hale, Christine Cavanaugh. The people who were working when I was a kid are still working now, which is pretty cool. It kinda speaks for why I think voice acting has more longevity compared to on-camera. With camera, you can kinda do that too, but you gotta be in your twenties, and you gotta be a model, or else it’s very hard to get into. Whereas in voiceover, you can look like anything. As long as you can sound like it, you can do it. But that’s changing now. Now, I can only play something that is my ethnicity or whatever. But it used to be that I could play anything; I was learning all these accents and languages. It was fun. There are a lot of people that I’ve met once I got into the industry that I really respect, too, like Eric Bowser. There are so many talented and gracious people in this industry.

L: What is your favorite show that you have worked on?

A: Kid Cosmic, because I grew up watching Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, so being able to work with Craig McCracken and have him laughing at my performance or agreeing with my improvisations was amazing. He treated me like an equal, which was very cool. It’s the first character that I really got to create because, with anime, you are giving a voice to a character that already has a preexisting performance, and they don’t tell us to match the Japanese, but they do tend to cast you based off of having the essence of the former performance or character. So you’re kinda fitting into a pre-made mold. For original animation, they animate to you. I have more freedom doing all of my weird ways of saying things, or jokes or pauses or whatever. There is a special place in my heart for Kid Cosmic, and I hope more people watch it because I don’t think Netflix advertised it very well. It’s a sweet show.

L: Yeah, I didn’t see a whole lot of promotion for that show, now that I think about it.

A: Yeah, that’s my problem with Netflix. Well, there are many problems with it, but one of them is that they have too much content. They don’t pace themselves. They could have had better quality [rather] than worrying about ten new shows a week. Nobody is going to be able to watch that stuff. Release one at a time where it is so good that it is the water cooler conversation, ya’ know? Have there be an iconic show like Stranger Things. Back in the day, you knew Netflix was going to be high-quality, and now, they are just farting out things all the time! So then good stuff gets lost, and they don’t advertise as much. And they don’t even tell people their numbers, so we don’t know how many people watched it.

L: Do you have a certain type of character that you prefer to voice?

A: Snarky characters, because I can do that pretty naturally. I definitely like playing characters that are aspirational to me. I know a lot of fans don’t like Boruto, but I like that he is cocky when he has no reason to be. I find a lot of people who are like that are more successful because they are like, “Yeah, I believe in myself. Why couldn’t I do it?” I want to be more like that. I do have a hard time playing characters that are more vulnerable because I just don’t like showing that side.

L: What is your favorite character that you have voiced?

A: That is like picking between your kids! Sometimes [I] like a character more simply because I voiced it more recently or spent more time on it. I really like Boruto. He had to grow. He had to start somewhere so he could be better. You could see a change in his character growth. I’ve been recording for almost 220 episodes now, and he feels like my little brother. I get to see him grow and mature and work with his dad and take those lessons. That was a very fun experience. It is also my first lead, the one carrying the show. You get to see every shade of that character. For example, Sailor Jupiter isn’t the main character. You get to see a couple of episodes where they focus on her, but for the most part, you don’t see every shade of her, like what makes her cry. You don’t get to see and spend as much time doing that when you are a side character. A main character that is well-written will have a journey to go on. Boruto did originally get some hate, and I was getting some personal hate, but then the writing got better, and his character progressed, so the personal hate declined.

L: Can you say what your least favorite role was?

A: There are definitely times where I’m like, “Ugh, this character is annoying,” but I cannot think of anything in particular. The good thing is that I have a semi-unique voice, so in anime, I tend to get cast as cool characters, like a tomboy, a badass chick, or something. There have definitely been times where I’ve listened to my performance and have said, “Meh, I didn’t like that,” especially early in my career.

L: Do you prefer doing voiceover for anime or games?

A:

L: Have you ever watched the anime you worked on? Do you play any of the games you’ve voiced?

A: I don’t play any of the games because I don’t have a monitor and console, but I sometimes will watch gameplay videos on YouTube. But also now they don’t tell you what the name of the game is because it is all so secretive. You might be in Halo, but you wouldn’t know you were in it until fans come up to you and ask! These video games all have fake names like Project Red Chair or something because they are so secretive about it. Actors do leak stuff; look at Tom Holland for Marvel! Since you don’t know what you are in, you don’t know when it is released. I want to get a console so I can start to play games with you guys! I gotta get a Switch or something. I’m really bad.

BC: YEAH!

L: Just don’t play Fortnite; you’re way too cool for that. *Talking over Blabs* It’s very lame.

BC: *Talking over Lethal* It’s not lame! Lethal is just like, “Ugh.” You know what? It’s stupid, but it’s fun, and it isn’t so hardcore that you can kinda relax sometimes and just play with friends.

L: Nah, it’s lame.

BC: He just says that because he sucks at it.

A: He’s been burned by it. Are you the hipster that’s like, “I’m too cool for this”?

BC: Yes, he is.

L: I would say I’m more of the superior that looks down upon peasants playing Fortnite.

BC: If you play, I’ll play with you, Amanda. We will have a great time.

A: It seems fun; I’m not very coordinated.

L: Any show/game you have worked on that you were surprised to be as successful as they are?

A: Yeah, I would probably say that for Danganronpa because when it first came out, I was like, “This is cool; this is up my alley.” It is a dark comedy; like, the blood is hot pink, so it is cute. There was a small following when it originally came out, and I was a bit disappointed because it was only on a PlayStation Vita because no one has one! But then, over the past five years or so, every time I go to a con, more and more people are cosplaying. I think TikTok kinda blew it up, and I think every time it was released on a new console, there was a new wave of followers and fans!

L: Do you have any upcoming projects you can talk about?

A: No, except for Boruto. But I have no idea when they will release the new episodes. I guess they will release them on DVD or something. I just recorded a video game today, but I can’t talk about it until it’s released.

L: Before, I was looking up the casting for the new Sailor Moon film, but there is no English casting announcement. Is that normal?

A: Yeah, I won’t know until a couple of months before we start recording. Odds are, it’ll be us. I mean, it would be so weird to record over two hundred episodes and then have someone else voiceover the final one. They try to be consistent. There is always a chance within the next year, if I get in trouble or something, they won’t have me voice, but hopefully, my castmates vouch for me. My friend told me that my comedy is only offensive to stupid people, so… Most of my stuff is absurd.

 Speed Round:

BC: If you had a pig, what would you name it?

A: Uhhhh, Buttons.

L: Blabs.

BC: Hey!

A: *Chuckles* Oh, married couples.

BC: Favorite film?

A: Clue. Or The Mummy. I don’t know! I’m cheating on them with [each] other! Anyway.

BC: Packing or unpacking?

A: *Confused look*

BC: Like clothes, putting stuff away, traveling, emptying the car…

A: Neither. Just free-balling it. Just show up where I’m going like, “Hey, I’m here for a week.” “Where’s your bags?” “Don’t worry about it.”

BC: Lightsaber color?

A: Purple.

BC: Hogwarts House?

A:

BC: How many languages do you know?

A: Like, fluently? I speak French pretty well because my mom is from France. A  little bit of German… I was born in Germany. Here’s my problem; I speak languages very well because I have a good ear, so when I learn the vocabulary, I sound like a native. But the problem is, I’m an idiot. I don’t actually have a big vocabulary, and people will be like, “Oh, your French is perfect!” and start talking to me in a more advanced French level, and I’m like, “Oooooo, pardon, pardon, pardon!”

I know you said this was the speed round, but I never stop talking. Hey, it’s a speed round for me because my brain is just going! For Netflix, a lot of the shows I’m doing are Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. My brain will always learn the swear words first. I think it’s because they say them so often, or they want to be edgy. You see the emotion behind it. If you go by “How many languages can you swear in,” the answer is “A lot.”

BC: What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

A: Piña colada.

BC: What is your go-to snack?

A: I had one! Oh, God! See, this is dumb. People just snack all the time. Oh! I have a binge snack, like a trigger food. I cannot stop eating it. But white chocolate. Take that however you want.

L: So you’re saying there is a chance?

A: Yeah, yeah! You’re like, “Hey, I can get a green card?”

BC: Pineapple on pizza?

A: Y’all aren’t going to like this, but yes.

L: *Talks over Blabs* YES!

BC: *Talks over Lethal* Oh, no.

A: Because I’m cultured. I like savory and sweet. I like flavors that mix together. You’re probably like, “No, you like white chocolate.” Listen, I like it. But I despise sweet dressings on my salad.

BC: You are so interesting.

A: Like, for my salad, I love vinegar. The more, the better. I have a weird obsession with vinegar and pickled eggs. I just tend to do the works on my pizza. The only thing that is unacceptable is cheese pizza. Get pizza if you’re gonna get pizza. Don’t just get cheesy bread.

BC: *Stares in Italian horror.*

A: It’s not pizza!

L: I don’t see the flaw in logic to this. This makes sense to me.

BC: You’re from Australia; just shut up.

L: You’re from America; shut up.

A: He’s trying to get the green card; it’s alright, Blabs.

BC: He’s trying to get one of us!

A: He’s like, “Hey, I too like pineapple on pizza.”

BC: Favorite video game?

A: Streets Of Rage 2

BC: Narnia or the Shire?

A: The Shire. It seems more peaceful.

L: And they don’t wear socks and shoes.

A: Yeah, I’m a barefoot kinda girl.

BC: Do you like Nickelback?

A: No, but I will say I like a few of their songs. There’s a couple that, if they come on, I’m not gonna kick them outta bed, or whatever the phrase is. I would definitely kick Chad Kroeger out of bed, though. That’s not nice.

BC: She’s having a conversation with herself.

A: He’s probably a really nice person. I’m not a model, and here I am talking shit! “Chad Kroeger? Really? That’s your face?”

L: Sounds like you thought about this.

A: *Joking* No. NO! I haven’t! Recently.

Questions From Twitter

Twitter: The first question is preceded by a statement: “First, I love how you connect with Sailor Jupiter in being both ‘tough and feminine,’ from your quote. I felt the same way as a tomboy growing up. Are there any episodes/arcs from the Sailor Moon series that still resonate with you? And if so, why?”

A:

T: Do you have any particular favorite moments for Toko and also Junko throughout the Danganronpa series that you can particularly remember?

A: Toko gets a lot more screen time; you get to see the [weirder] side of her. There are these fantasy sequences that she has; she has dreams about Byakuya, and I just couldn’t stop laughing because Jason Wishnov, who voices Byakuya, had already recorded his lines, so I was hearing everything in my headphones! I couldn’t stop laughing from imagining Jason saying this. Toko had a fantasy about farm play or something like that, like, “Call me your little piggie.” She’s like, “Yes, I’m your livestock!”

L: This is, like, Blab’s fantasy.

BC: Wow.

L: Byakuya is like, “Oink for me,” and Toko is like, having an orgasm. “Oink, oink, oink!”

A: As for Junko, every time Junko speaks, it’s a lot of fun because I get to be a lot of people. It’s a theater major’s dream, being able to jump all over the place and kinda be insane, but in a way that is productive and legal.

L: That doesn’t get you locked up.

BC: Yeah, that doesn’t get you locked up, radiator guy.

L: Exactly. See, he should have known when to stop.

T: Have you ever wanted to provide full speaking lines for Mukuro in Danganronpa since we never got to hear the character’s real voice?

A: I believe I did in the movie. In the scenes before you know what is happening, that is Mukuro, and I’m technically her. Unless there is another version of something. Maybe they mean like another hypothetical game, and she would have to come back as, like, a character. Then, yeah! Although I don’t know if she would sound very different. Maybe it is me being ignorant of twins, and sorry, I’m spoiling everything, but also, this game has been out for a while, so fuck you guys.

T: What is your favorite color?

A: Oh no, it keeps changing! Pink…?

T: What are your favorite foods, drinks, desserts, cereals, etc.?

A: That’s too many options; don’t be greedy!

BC: Favorite cereal!

A: Corn Pops.

BC: Really? Out of everything, that is just so blah!

A: Nah, they are sweet, and they have a cool texture! I’m weird; I like Frosted Flakes, but Corn Pops hit differently.

BC: Do you put your cereal and milk together in the same bowl?

A: Yeah, I’m not weird like Ryan and Jeremy.

BC: They are so weird, both of them. I thin they were dropped as a child.

L: And if they weren’t, they should have been for eating cereal like that.

A: Their mothers failed them by not dropping them. “You idiot! You’re not my son!” I find it weird that people even put milk first. They are like, “Oh, then it gets soggy,” And I’m like, “Just eat it quickly.”

BC: I used to pour the milk in first, but my dad was like, “You are doing it wrong.”

A: I feel like that is also a waste of milk. Did you drink it all?

BC: Oh yeah, all gone! Children are starving in Africa; we drank the milk.

A: That always annoyed me. I was that kid that was like, “How does this affect me? Sounds like an African kid’s problem. See, I am a Slytherin.”

BC: Amanda’s like, “Fuck the African kids.”

L: Favorite dessert?

A: A good staple is crème brûlée. That or, like Boba tea [bubble tea]. I hate Baklava. It’s too God damn sweet.

BC: *Scandalized* How dare you! You have no soul.

A: I thought we established that when I said I was a Slytherin.

BC: That’s true, and you’re like, “Fuck the African kids.” I’m convinced you just haven’t had the good stuff yet.

A: Are you Blabs-splaining to me Baklava? My own tastes in desserts?

BC: Yes.
