Someone stop me from adding yet another fucker to Chatterbird Corporations or so help me god. Come on I thought we had AliveWorld for this kind of fuckery.

#it's like ough it'd be so funny. but ChCorp is not funny. ChCorp is my emotional hell.#ChCorp is a self-contained long-form exploration of the human condition that was originally supposed to have TWO (2) repeating characters #and the rest would always appear for one act. But Dienes was an ok addition that made sense for the themes. i don't even know #why the hell he's there but he's been there since i was 14 so who cares.#Alexis was a random addition but she is actually a nice other side of the coin to Chatterbird and someone who is fully human #despite being robotic and on like 20 medications. she's the character who's there so I can make it clear that I'm NOT #saying that body mods and medication and prosthetics make you less human but that I'm instead saying that Chatterbird is a bigot.#and a victim. but also a bigot. Mockingbird was a shitpost but now he's there forever and hey it fucks hard #because he explores nature vs nurture. he's the 'Can Chatterbird change? What makes a person? What is an individual? Is it ingrained in our #DNA or is 'us' something that is created and if so can it be changed? How much? By what?' to Chatterbird's living ship of Theseus #she's humanity vs inhumanity and personhood vs tool and Mockingbird is nature vs nurture and individual vs collective guilt #she asks 'Am I human?' and he asks 'Who am I?'#Grey was added out of spite but funnily enough him and King actually make a great thematic square with Chatterbird and Mockingbird #because there's nobody who's Chatterbird's parallel as far as the question of humanity is considered.#since Alexis isn't really about that at all.#anyway my point is there are enough recurring characters we don't need more reoccurring characters.#AliveWorld was literally built in such a way that i could throw in an endless amount of characters forever for my own enjoyment #but the thing is it's a fantasy comedy turned dramedy. the guy whose concept is solidifying in my head does NOT fit into a fantasy setting #i have nowhere else to throw him because my only 3 surviving writing projects are AliveWorld; Chatterbird Corporations; and BDEF #and technically speaking Liliana's AUs but those are fanfictions.#oh yeah I forgot about Terror on Belgica. which is Schrödinger's fanfiction i guess. but regardless he can't be there either that's a horror #story
