Welcome to Long Time Caller, First Time Listener, a column where we, Trixie and Katya, give you, the reader, advice. Our answers may not be valuable, but they will definitely be irrelevant. Want your question answered by us? Email goopedsubstack@gmail.com. Please include a name/pseudonym and your pronouns!
Hi ladies — thank you for the response! I ended up fessing up telling her that I had a crush on her, and she took it in the kindest sweetest way possible. We’re still very good friends, and although our conversations do still get flirty at least we’re both good with just being each other’s digital wingpeople. Once things get less insane in the world, we’re planning on visiting each other in a platonic sense!
I appreciate all the advice, ladies — I honestly needed someone to tell me I was being ridiculous and I appreciate it. ♥️ (Also Two Birds is a fantastic album and I don’t think I can top that, but I appreciate the suggestion lol)
"I’ve sent my friends screenshots of our conversations" reminds me of Simon Amstell's: "I composed the most charming witty message for him. Seven friends confirmed it was charming and witty." 😆
Oh, I forgot to add: I love Trixie's answer to the first question, but in her point number four, I don't think she was fully understanding the depth and breadth of lesbian experience there. Driving for days to see a woman you've fallen for and is also into women? Can you even be a lesbian if you haven't done such a thing? (Tongue firmly in cheek here.) And I'm pretty sure that's what I.B. meant by "mutual love of women", just the confirmation that you are at least barking up the correct trees.
Might as well post my personal ad: If anyone here wants to fall in love on Zoom, I have a working internet connection, my own apartment, a beloved cat, and tickets to see Trixie and Katya this spring. 👭💅🏼
Yep! You are correct — I honestly thought she was straight because I never seem to have good luck. Well, we’re both sapphic but it’s more platonic between us now and I’m happy with it.
Well, it is my drag name 😂 I’m still in the beginning stages, but I’m so glad you guys like it!! Not many people have picked up on the pun so this is like Christmas for me hahaha!
I'm going to be that person who takes it upon themselves to share *their* answer to a question in the column, just because the second one does not actually deal with personal matters and I thought about it for a bit. I have to say I think that the question is unanswerable, because if you were able to dig a hole through the earth, actual physics would no longer be in effect.
Also I love how Trixie freaked out over Isadora's name. It's a great name, I agree, but damn.
Have you lot never seen The Core? Drilling into the earth's core is not a good idea (or a good film) regardless of your end goal. Stanley Tucci did not fare well from it.
Follow up thought to question 2: if you were to fall directly through the earth (putting burning alive aside for a moment), you would be upside down (relative to everyone else on that part of the planet) when you got to the other side, which I think is a fun and interesting, though very much unsolicited, addition to the discussion.

im like 90% sure isadora belle is meant to be a pun and is not in fact this woman's name
You are correct ;) — Isa
Even if it is just a fake, that would make a fabulous drag name!! Great pun and very wholesome :D

And my friend just told me that her answer to question #2 would be: "sure." Hahahahahaha.
