(account deleted)Here's the thing though, it's not supposed to go anywhere. Not every day at the Foundation is filled with containment breaches, explosions, time travel, and Clef blowing shit up. Some days it's quiet enough to relax with some of your friends and laugh at bad television. It's a story, yes, but it doesn't have a plot.

And they would still find a way to make something blow up. :-P

Excuse me?
Why do you think it's masturbatory? If you're going to make a statement like that, I expect at least some reasoning behind it.
One is not allowed to expand on their own creation, apparently.
…I'm having a hard time telling whether or not that's a thinly veiled masturbation joke.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
…I think that was more of a Freudian slip, to be honest.
