so!! it actually all starts because of an ex I had, funnily enough. he was really into Elphelt and I, at the time, thought it would be cute to tease him about her. so I did a bit of reading on her and the more I learned about her the more I actually grew to like her, and when I was eventually dumped (which was like right after one of our dates - ouch) I just.. kept learning about her and eventually it went from "man she's cool" to "wow, she's cute!! I wish I could be like her!!" to "yeah Elphelt is the kind of person I want to be in my every day life"
