you are a regular guy!
you can enter a space. you are a regular guy, you can enter a room. you are a regular guy, you can do that transaction. you are a regular guy, you know how to answer the phone. you are a regular guy, you know what sleep is. you are a regular guy, you know what it means to be you.
all of these books have regular people as the protagonist doing all sorts of things, from kissing to killing!
as always, open to all suggestions!

Can't believe I found a Jacob reference list! đłđ
jacob wysocki has my whole heart âĽď¸
Iâm more of a Jacob Ice Hockey fan myself
đ¤Łđ¤Ł
đââď¸đââď¸đââď¸
Jacob Ice Hockey is a great second to Jacob Wysocki đââď¸
heâs the best đŤś
THIS WHOLE SPIEL HAS BEEN MY DAILY AFFIRMATION NOT EVEN JOKING
I know I left out some key lines for space but YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY
This is a wild premise for a list but I love it.
sometimes you donât wanna read about kings with shadow fingers or ultra talented assassins!
Does Owen Mallory from The Everlasting count as a regular guy? P.S. I love Jacob Wysocki, Dropout, and this list đŤś
Jacob Wysocky fan club checking in here đââď¸
Iâm so happy thereâs so many dropout people here đĽš
if owen is a regular guy, then absolutely!!!
First of all, thank you, I love this trope. Second of all, marry me. Also: I humbly recommend The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
I already promised @burntsunflowers that Iâd marry her; maybe we can start our own polycule đđ and I will add this immediately!
You are a regular guy, you can enter a polycule đ. Also, the emojis for the list are frying me hahahaha
regular people entering a polycule!!
I'm also a regular guy and I make delicious (but totally regular) vegan blueberry cookies. May I join?
please do đĽšđŚ
Plase have mercy. If you make such tantalizing offers they're going to realize the only thing I can offer is pet portraits like once in a blue moon. I'm cooked đĽ˛.
That's okay, it's not mandatory to bring offers. You're just a regular guy! And that's all we need!
im down. sharing is caring đââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸
sharing IS caring thatâs right!
I'm not jealous. Not even a little bit. Not even a little bit at all đ¤Ľ
join us 𼚠the more the merrier, after all my favorite trope is why choose đđŤŚ
đŞI brought my chair. More is merrier
get the heck in here sharky!!!
edit: waitâŚis that chair for what I think itâs for??
đźđźđź I have inspiration from the second Katee Robert book
Or it can be used to place the cookies!! It's multifunctional
another top trope: đŞđ
A đŞ is just another way of saying sharing is caring
Guys why am I waking to up to A New Day and finding the polycule getting furnished đ§ââď¸ and why is the chair in a corner facing the bed
đźđźđź it's a multifunctional chair
Mfw it's my turn on the "multifunctional" (đ) chair holding the cookies
Hahaha honestly the best face anyone on the chair could be making đ
this whole thread is iconic and iâm framing it and putting it on my wall
omg madame bovary my beloved!
This made my whole week dude. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY
YOU CAN ENTER A SPACE
was going to suggest the hobbit, stoner and madame bovary but theyâre all already here heheâlove this list đ¤
hehehe at first I didnât think I was gonna do the hobbit but then I was like Bilbo is literally just a regular dude
fr, he just wants to be left alone and not go on an adventure, thank you very much đââď¸
while I have you, do you think Frodo counts?
iâm honestly not sure, but iâm leaning toward no because he didnât want to be normal, right? hm, idk though lol, what do you think?
thatâs what I was thinking, he yearned for more, which is why I didnât add fellowship to this list, thank you for your input!
wow! i find this one strangely inspiring!
you should watch the video of Jacob Wysockiâs whole monologue; I had to cut some of it out for space đĽ˛
iâve seen it. i love it. itâs my daily mantra. đ
âwow! i found that one strangely inspiring!â was Sam Reichâs response to the regular guy affirmation. đ
omg I must have blocked out Samâs response but I always block out sam because Iâm always surprised when i see him even though heâs been there the whole time
LOVE the Dropout/Jacob Wysocki reference â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
And love everyone else in the comments who get it. IYKYK :D
I love Jacob wysocki sm!!!! Dropout became a comfort for me during the pandemic đĽš
Same! I got into dnd and Dimension 20 soon after the pandemic started. Dropout got me through it too :)
