I love how people keep saying that Ripp reminds them of someone. It must be a sign that I'm doing something right.

I definitely have people in my life that swear that much too, and while I sometimes wonder if it gets excessive in the story (like, I'd hate to add up how many times Ripp has said fuck), it seems realistic to me. Most of the other characters swear sometimes too, and others not at all, but Ripp (and Jaxy too) uses it as a form of punctuation.
