““early on, isaac let me know that he always finds pauses awkward - if too much time went by without me responding, he’d think i was typing something else in another window, or had left the computer, or was IMing twelve other boys besides him. and i had to admit that i felt the same fears. so now we do this thing whenever we’re pausing. we just type grayscale: i’m here boundbydad: i’m here grayscale: i’m here boundbydad: i’m here until the next sentence comes.””
