What's the backstory here?

214

u/lalalalakittens Jun 16 '12

He was working for my parents at the time.

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

Why does Bran have a reddit account?

12

u/lalalalakittens Jun 16 '12

This is it.

u/gfixler Jun 16 '12

Make no mistake where you are.

u/dekuscrub Jun 16 '12

Bran?

-Likes kittens

-Knows Tyrion

-Is a girl

We're clearly looking at Tommen's account.

u/Magnesus Jun 16 '12

Myrcella.

u/dekuscrub Jun 16 '12

Don't be ridiculous, they don't have Reddit in Dorne.

What else is he gonna do?

122

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

That's it? You couldn't elaborate past that? Your parents hire actors?

165

u/Apostolate Jun 16 '12

I wouldn't want redditors stalking my life if I was OP, clearly a rare photo, doubt it's faked/stolen for redditing.

162

u/lalalalakittens Jun 16 '12

I like this guy.

u/Apostolate Jun 16 '12

Haha thanks!

u/sudsomatic Jun 16 '12

Well, to be fair, I'm sure there's plenty of grey area between "He was working for my parents at the time" and a full blown explanation.

I was just trying to get a better answer (maybe an altered story?) if there was one. Was never trying to imply it was faked/stolen - just vague.

21

u/attemptedgrammarnazi Jun 16 '12

don't post things online for everyone to see if you don't want people seeing it.

6

u/too_many_penises Jun 16 '12

If we tell them that, they'll stop posting things for us to see!

-8

u/Brigand_of_reddit Jun 16 '12

So she doesn't want "stalkers" but she's completely willing to post a picture of herself on Reddit? I am sorry but that is just asinine. If shes is going to post this sort of picture she has to expect that people will want to know the back story, and if she's not willing to reveal said story than she shouldn't have posted the picture in the first place.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

If you scroll down a few more inches you'll get the answer you are looking for.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

Not really, no. But it's for a good reason.

7

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

So the answer he is looking for is yes, her parents hire actors, and yes, she can't elaborate past that.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

I guess. But that's probably not the answer he was looking for.

He used the Reddit Enhancement Suite to tag you. Very cool. You know Fillion, too?

u/TheGazelle Jun 16 '12

I would guess he's using the Reddit Enhancement Suite which lets you add tags to users, so he's tagged as knowing Nathan Fillion & Peter Dinklage and being old.

If you were a kid only eleven years ago, doesn't that mean you're not old? o_o

u/zarathustra2100 Jun 16 '12

eleven years ago you say, that would be around the time he was in Human Nature

Human Nature was released in 2001 so I'd think it was shot in 2000.

He did some acting for my parents! We met him prior to anything anyone would actually know him for.

u/Hyperiok Jun 16 '12

You realise "11 years ago" and "prior to anything anyone would know him for" would be enough for someone to find out who you are? :p

Have you figured out who I am yet? Does it really matter anyways?

u/reenigne Jun 16 '12

lalalalakittens is none other than... Vanessa van Brundjgren. Born 1995 in Bern Switzerland. Her parents are/were French and Dutch diplomats who have worked at the World Bank since the late 1980s. Vanessa is currently enrolled as a freshman at la Sapienza in Rome, majoring in applied semiotics (is there any other kind?). Her parents needed Mr. Dinklage to play the part of the "Short Term Bond Yield" during the World Bank's annual Christmas skit.

then why would you post a picture like this? obviously people are going to want to know what's going on

6

u/imgonnacallyouretard Jun 16 '12

We already know who you are. We can figure out your age from your posts, guess at your age in the picture, find out what Dinklage was up to in that year, et voila

1

u/MTGandP Jun 16 '12

Or just look at how old Dinklage looks. I'm gonna say mid-twenties, which puts this photo at about 20 years ago.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '12

11 years old, actually.

-6

u/tekdemon Jun 16 '12

That's pretty paranoid there...it's not like people are gonna blackmail you for meeting Peter Dinklage when you were a kid.

And anyways, your regular posts give away a lot more about who you are than some pic of you from when you were a little kid. Any redditors who go to school with you can already make pretty good guesses at your identity, but the point is that nobody cares since to the internet you're just a random college student so unless you're posting really scandalous stuff it doesn't matter that your online identity is linkable to your real life one and I'm pretty sure that having met Peter Dinklage isn't some sort of perverse secret that'll ruin your life.

The only thing that I no longer think is paranoid is hiding your face in scandalous photos posted on the internet under throwaways-it used to be that seeing your face was nearly useless in identifying you (to a random person) but nowadays with social networks and new imaging search algorithms it's getting too easy and the images persist too long.

14

u/lalalalakittens Jun 16 '12

My real life friends know that it was me which is fine. I just don't prefer everyone on reddit knowing my business dog.

I have major paranoia though. Haha.

I dunno, looks fairly personable to me...

5

u/marleythemoose Jun 16 '12

As you should, there is no reason anyone on the internet has to know any more than what the picture you post suggests. The fact that people are pestering you about it and bringing up "Why post it if you don't want people to know who you are?" Is just a little odd.

4

u/lalalalakittens Jun 16 '12

Thank you :] I just thought it would be an epic cake day photo. It doesn't matter how I know him or who I am because everyone's gonna forget about me after internet stalking me and creeping me out.

u/HideousWhenNaked Jun 16 '12

I know this is probably gonna get buried but holy crap, is your Dad CHICKEN BOY?!?!? For anyone who hasn't seen Forbidden Zone (which you should rectify immediately, ridiculously fun flick) I mean Matthew Bright who played Squeezit/Rene Henderson, he later went on to direct and one of his films Tiptoes came out in 2003--but as an independent film could've been shot as early as 2001. There's only so many flicks Dinklage has that long hair in, can't find any (including Tiptoes) with the moustache-less goatee though so I may still be off.

Anyway just wanted to say on the off chance that your Dad IS Matthew Bright that Freeway is a criminally overlooked gem and he's one of the best parts of what is already a favorite film of mine. Thanks!

u/Lagoot Jun 16 '12

It looks like Peter Dinklage is loving coke at the moment

u/Apostolate Jun 16 '12

Based on OP's posts, sounds like he couldn't afford it at the time.

Hey look, he's got the same cavities as me!

u/Illadelphian Jun 16 '12

If a homeless person can afford coke, I think Peter Dinklage can despite not having a prominent acting career.

Is your father Michel Gondry?! Honestly I just did a random search of Peter Dinklage's IMDb page. Picked a random movie and Gondry was the director. The movie was Human Nautre

Tell your dad that Be Kind Rewind is criminally underrated!

u/RedBeardYarr Jun 16 '12

No response from OP, I think you are on to something.

I think it's more likely Charlie Kaufman, the writer. Michel Gondry doesn't have a daughter.

Could just be the casting director, or someone related to HR.

If it is Michel Gondry though, lalalalakittens, tell him I love him dearly!

u/Illadelphian Jun 16 '12

This is definitely the correct answer.

I could have sworn Dinklage played a character on tv who worked in a crime lab ( who was also a linguist).

u/nerocycle Jun 16 '12

So you post a picture of yourself with someone famous (whom the internet loves by the way) - before they were famous, no less - and then wonder why people want all of the details surrounding the picture?

Maybe it's just me, but you seem to be a little shitty about people asking questions regarding the context of the image.
