my indexical crush
Mar. 24th, 2026 10:55 pmBehold my index crush. Look at his charming dimples that only appear at delightfully rare moments! Marvel at his subtle humour and earnest indexicalness! Just look at his adorable hand gestures, side parting and skivvy/brown blazer combo.
Watching this video is soothing to my brain.

I just checked AO3. There is Not A Single Fic about this man. Not a one!
ETA: Also that thing he does with his eyebrow, arching one while the other stays horizontal.
ETTA: That video is from many decades ago. That man has two children and a wife. They spent a holiday on an organic farm in Australia. There is too much internet out there for a fourth wall. I must now draw back from this brink.
Nothing stopping me from listening to the dulcet tones of a room full of indexers, though.
ETTTA: I first encountered this indexer via this page https://taxonomist.tripod.com/indexing/wordproblems.html when I was struggling with doing an index using MS Word. It's an irreverent, incredibly detailed and pragmatically helpful page. And the formatting dates it to a Different Time.
