My friend had a dream where someone stole Armand’s blender. He killed the person who did so.

I almost didn’t answer this bc it looks very much like bait. I was tempted to respond humorously, and that might have upset ppl who adore Armand, bc even joking about it, it makes him look like evil incarnate, you know? To kill someone over stealing a blender? I believe in making fun of fictional characters and these are serial killers, let’s not forget that, and I don’t shy away from discussing dark fiction but this was not a setup for being playful. 

…I mean, you’re saying this was a dream and we’re getting it secondhand from you, Anon, so we shouldn’t take it so seriously, but I think that was out of character even for Armand, that thief must have done something else than just steal a piece of kitchenware to deserve the death penalty :(((

My ask is always open but this kind of message struck me as a little on the borderline of trolling, there are ppl out there who love Armand as a character. Please don’t send me messages like this. 

If you wanted to phrase this a little more tastefully, add another sentence to invite discussion:

My friend had a dream where someone stole Armand’s blender. He killed the person who did so. Do you think Armand would kill someone over an offense this small?

or

My friend had a dream where someone stole Armand’s blender. He killed the person who did so. Since dreams may expose something but ourselves, do you think dreaming about a fictional character killing someone, for any reason, means anything? Should I be worried about my friend?

See the difference? Rather than just dropping a potential bomb into my inbox that I have to worry about answering in a humorous way for fear of hurting someone’s feelings, like cutting the right wire to dismantle a bomb… and sometimes it’s not so obvious which wire should be cut 😛

…you can provide food for an intellectually stimulating discussion, making both our lives better!
