continued Thatfucker discussion

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

This can get confusing, because it looks like the list of traits after the usernames might be a description of the women Andy's talking about. It's not. It's a description of the different personas he was taking on in order to ensnare them.

I have read that piece at least 10 times and met Andy-then-Amy before it was even written and this is the FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER REALIZED THAT.

*re-aligns entire worldview holy fuck*

Hoooooooly shit this makes so much more sense and is so much creepier than before.

Holy fuck indeed. The creepiness factor just went up by several orders of magnitude.

AYRT - indeed. It's not that I wasn't aware he was doing that privately. It's the fact that he's admitting to doing it here (hell, basically bragging about it), when I thought he was just admitting to emotionally cheating on his BF and calculatedly sizing up the people he wanted to make friends with.

!!! Why would he post that?! I seriously don't understand. It's basically saying "look how I'm manipulating you".

Because he takes joy in the deception. He revels in it, and on top of that, he's also a terrible braggart. The DAYDian hiker said he used to brag about manipulating people fairly regularly.

I'm amazed he would show it to Abbey when she was with him, though. Her name is on that list. That's how fucking brazen he is, and yes, it boggles the mind.

He didn't post it, exactly. It was part of some writing project he was doing when he and Abbey were together, and she posted it on her blog later. I think.

Also, if I understand correctly, he basically parsed it to Abbey as "This is how evil "Amy" was. Amy who is now dead; I am Jordan/Frodo and would never do this to you."

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the only reason we've ever seen that particular piece of writing is that somehow or the other Abbey wound up with it after she got away. And she wanted people to know how calculating and targeted he could be.

That's not the thought patterns of someone in the throes of disorganized psychosis, that's the thought pattern of someone who's completely aware of what they're doing.

Yeah, the term is overused, but that's real sociopathy right there.

YO WHAT SERIOUSLY?

*rereads*

Jesus fuck.
