All this talk about "the fool jingled miserably across the floor" makes me remember another time I was caught off guard by something in Terry's writing. As a reader, I have a very high tolerance for fictional concepts. It's a lot easier in audiobooks because you can't stop as easily and really look at the words, you just accept what's going on because the story is moving with or without you. So I generally take everything in my stride which is also why plottwists work well on me. But one time, I don't remember which book but I had to stop the audiobook and rewind because my synapses finally caught on. The Lecturer in Recent Runes. Recent. Runes. Aren't recent runes just letters? Isn't he just saying he can read the letters in the alphabet? Is his only qualification for professor at the university the fact that he can READ?? I was doubling over in laughter in the bus ride home. I know I'm stupid and it took me way too many Wizards books for me to catch on but damn that realization is a core memory for me.

every single explanation for why mikey wasn't decrepit but was covered in blood is insane like
he's a vampire and is draining the other three of youth
it was for his own safety. if he went on stage in all his 2005 scene queen half of jersey all of warped tour glory the seismic shockwave of two dozen nostalgia bait emo bandman dissolving their marriages for a chance with that sopping wet twink would have levelled nevada
bad ending where instead of the band breaking up and mikey getting help they drag the band's shambling corpse around until mikey dies young. pulling back the curtains on how unhappy and unhealthy they all were during the era that wwwyf is trying to capitalize off. you want us to keeping going back to 2005 for the sake of your nostalgia? okay mikey's fucking dead now (makes me unbelievably upset to consider but exactly the kind of shit they'd pull)
he died in normandy

[Blows the dust off this blog] Long time no see...
Back in the Danganronpa pits... have some silly doodles for an...AU? or like, slight canon divergence/missing scene? I got to chapter 5 in my THH replay and was thinking about the part where these four are alone in the gym dismantling Monokuma all night.
I know realistically it's supposed to be because they were paranoid and extra careful about taking it slow so nothing went wrong... but like... their alibi is from 10pm to 7am? In my heart of hearts it actually took the whole night because they kept getting distracted and chit-chatting and got into a bunch of shenanigans once the actual dismantling part was done. Like Byakuya says they went to the bathroom in pairs?? Not to mention you'd totally expect him to make a comment about how insufferable it was being stuck together for like nine hours. And Hina says they played rock paper scissors to decide who brought back breakfast???
You can't tell me they didn't bond at least a little bit. A friend pointed out it'd have the vibes of a 4am discord call and that's exactly it. Emotional confessions about personal fears and insecurities to dumb physiological debates that become inside jokes forever. Etc.
