"It's a good thing," Sparkle agreed quietly. "It's a more personal thing. I dunno, it's one thing when Fandom is like, here, have a onesie and jump on turtles for a week. That's everyone's shit."

He shrugged.

"This is my shit. It's my shit and when this is done I get to do it all over again and they're gonna try to rake me across the coals and that's all gonna be my shit, and if it doesn't work and it doesn't go away then I have to live with that, too. It's easy to get through fucked-up shit waiting for Monday, you know? I don't get a Monday with this. Not like that."
