I've had this idea for a zine for the longest time and I finally made it! Inspired by and dedicated to all of my fellow fangirls* :')
As always, I'm sharing a high res pdf for standard A4-sized paper so you can print this zine yourself!
i didn't realize but touching different door handles and feel their warmth, texture and resistance is very satisfying (i was in a store)
loving something in today's society
putting your heart on something's hands
trusting and believing
is hoping that no one will ever reveal their secret
and you feel like a monster
but till the secret ain't out it's fine

can we talk for a minute about how 'Dream Team' in the 5th season of The Office US is like the best ?
there's the whole Michael-downfall moment that we've seen over and over through the series, and as usual he dreams too big, no one believes in him and they all leave him all by himself with his crazy project
but then there's Pam, who we've seen getting bored from a job that uses none of her real potential, standing for Michael and leaving everything behind to start a project born like 6 hours beforehand
if we don't take into account that pretty much every employee is at the opposite of Michael, Pam's personality is one of the most far away from his: even though she also likes pranks and tends to be bold and had some good moments with him, she had to learn to know her value and not under or overestimate it, she gets things done, she is organized, she is respectful and considerate, she seems to have a stable life and stable relationships. Furthermore, her relationship with Michael is unbalanced, she's constantly sexualized and suffers his misogynistic jokes, he has never really been considerate towards her, even when she obviously was the best among the other employees during 'Beach Games' (S3) for a higher ranked position
however, she is the one and only to follow him, she took care of Michael, she pushed him into making small steps when he was depressed, she provided him support and understanding, validating every task he overcame, and i couldn't help but to relate to that kind of doing ; this was the growing-hope part
the most beautiful part being when this seed of hope didn't work out and the business didn't seem to lead anywhere, and when Pam finally realized and expressed how much she lost because of her impulsive decision, because the boredom of her job just felt too much at that precise moment, AND THAT'S when Michael hits with one of his biggest strength: when people don't believe in him is when he does his best work (his words), he thrives on it (also his words). And suddenly he's his boss, his mentor, his friend, he gets to support her and inspire her once again, not because he is about to lose her or that he's afraid to be alone, but for her, so that she can feel good about her choice, so that she doesn't hit rock bottom, he validates their situation and pushes her to stick to their plan.
it took someone he cares about to be sad and desperate for Michael to take his job more seriously than we ever saw him do. They are not doing great but they're trying to give their best shot
also i'd like to highlight how similar to the art show moment in 'Business School' (S3) this scene is, when Michael is the only one to truly enjoy Pam's work, when she obviously didn't believe it would come from him. The reaction of Michael is so pure and free from his usual shallow and callous behavior, it's just how he feels with no insult or bad joke, something Pam needed in the moment
just so you know i didn't finish the series so it might not be the best best episode but i really wanted to right that down
