So. I was thinking of an AU for Slay the Princess, because my brainrot has been very very bad.
It just sorta started with the idea of "hey, what if the protagonist (Long Quiet, I'm gonna call it Bird) was a real person?" It's sort of a big deal that Bird is reactive and not really their own person, which the Mound/Princess makes a big deal about in the ending. Yet I just like the concept that Bird has a SENSE OF SELF (title card)
So I was thinking the primary difference is obviously just a lack of voices, because the voices are the way Bird is primarily characterized and given something other than a blank slate, but if Bird is not a blank slate (or in lore terms if Bird is already partially whole) then we don't need the voices. This means it's just Bird, the Narrator, and the Princess. But as I got to thinking about it, I realized this also contributes to some stuff later in the story, specifically that Bird doesn't forget when the Mound resets him. This allows for all manner of wacky shenanigans and I think it's worth exploring.
If I was going to write it, I'd have to follow places where the voices normally have a starring role to elicit the most contrast. An easy example is the Razor route where the whole point at the end is emptying your mind of the voices and Narrator, but if Bird can already do that, then that changes everything from the second encounter onward.
Idk it's kinda just a dump of ideas and a collection of thoughts but I wanted to get it out there because I thought it was kinda cool and maybe different and fun...
Guys I'm so glad everyone loves hit JRWI campaign: The Suckening so much. 12 thousand notes on just a thumbnail that's so cool. Anyone think about emizel pussy-out post revival
did some math based on adventurer's bible stuff about average sizes of tallmen & half-foots & the canon heights of the characters and. chilchuck is the half-foot equivalent of 6'5
“Robert Pattinson showed up with iPhone voice recordings and had already nailed the voice for ‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’ before recording started. It was his first ever voice role and he finished in 2 days.” (source)
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more points in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.
Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:
Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.
(You can hear it here)
In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.
I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so

And just to be clear, writing dissertations at me justifying why he should instead be a conventionally attractive twink will involuntarily cause me to draw him with even fewer teeth.
