7. Incredibly cool people who you would never dare approach in real life because you respect them too much?
8. But now, instead of contacting them to say, “Hi, I worship your work…”

9. (Which, again, you’d never do, because: not cool)

10. You’re saying, “Hi, would you please like my work and be OK with me telling everyone in the entire world you like my work even though we’ve never met and you owe me absolutely nothing?”

11. “Please?”

12. “Pleeeaaaase?”

13. “Oh god please won’t you please help me?!”
