okay i feel like i’ve been pronouncing your name wrong for years lol. is it not cheye like *shay*? is it a hard ch?? shay-uh??? chay uh.. ???? ;___;

its 2 syllables! I dont mind if people do soft ch like Sh because sometimes thats the only sound you can make from your native language...it is meant to be che (like CHEddar) and yeh (like YEllow)

but ill also accept like, shay-uh shay-eh, chey-uh etc (tho the "correct one", that i introduce self as, wld be chey-eh)

Oh.... It would be ... Funny.... If Vox were to go into labour during that presentation... I mean he is 36 weeks pregnant now and full-term already starts at 37 weeks so the baby wouldn't be very premature and be able to survive

*At the V-Tower presentation room — Televised and streaming on web*

Vox: *standing in front of the large crowd, presenting his latest technological advancements, feeling a bit more uncomfortable than usual.*

Audience Member 1: *raises a hand* Excuse me, Mr. Vox, can you elaborate on the integration of your new system with existing infrastructure?

Vox: *forces a smile, feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen* Of course. The integration is designed to be seamless, minimizing downtime and ensuring a smooth transition.

Audience Member 2: *noticing Vox's discomfort* Are you alright, Mr. Vox?

Vox: *gritting his teeth, trying to maintain composure* Yes, yes, I'm fine. Just... *another sharp pain causes him to double over slightly* ...a bit of discomfort.

Audience Member 3: *concerned* Maybe you should sit down, Mr. Vox.

Vox: *shakes his head, trying to push through* No, I... *suddenly, his water breaks, causing a gasp from the audience* ...oh no.

Audience Member 1: He's going into labor!

Vox: *panic setting in* No, no, not now... not here...

Audience Member 4: Someone call for help!

Audience Member 5: *rushes to Vox's side* Hang in there, Mr. Vox. We'll get you through this.

Vox: *breathing heavily, gripping the podium for support* I need... I need to get to the hospital...

Audience Member 2: There's no time! The baby is coming now!

Audience Member 3: *takes off their jacket, preparing to assist* We need to help him. Everyone, stay calm.

Vox: *screaming in pain, feeling the contractions intensify* Please... make sure the baby is okay...

Audience Member 1: *guiding Vox to lie down on a makeshift bed of jackets* Just breathe, Vox. We're here with you.

Audience Member 4: *on the phone with emergency services* We have a man in labor at the tech presentation. We need medical assistance immediately!

Audience Member 5: *holding Vox's hand* You're doing great, Vox. Just focus on breathing.

Vox: *sweat pouring down his face, gripping the hand tightly* I... I can't believe this is happening...

Audience Member 2: *checking the progression* The baby's crowning! Keep pushing, Vox!

Vox: *screaming with the effort, pushing with all his might* I... can't... believe... this...

Audience Member 3: One more push, Vox! You're almost there!

Vox: *with one final, powerful push, the baby is born* Ahhhhhh!

Audience Member 1: *gently cradling the newborn, wrapping them in a jacket* It's a boy! He's beautiful, Vox.

Vox: *exhausted but relieved, tears streaming down his face* Thank you... thank you all...

Audience Member 4: *hearing the sound of sirens approaching* The ambulance is here. Hang in there, Vox. You're both going to be fine.

Vox: *holding his newborn son close, whispering softly* Welcome to Hell, Virgil…

Today I’m going absolutely bonkers thinking about stories where the medium itself becomes so interwoven with the narrative that the two are inseparable and the story borderline unadaptable into other formats.

Lately I’ve been playing a lot of Portal and listening to the Malevolent podcast for perhaps the third time, and as any slightly obsessive fan who desperately wishes for more when I run out of story I find myself thinking ‘man someone should adapt this into a movie/tv show/novel/etc’. And then I stop and think, ‘wait a minute, how?’

How could you possibly adapt the puzzle aspect of Portal into anything other than a game? Sure you could make some cool action sequences out of it, but that would get old quick, and you never get any chance to solve the puzzles yourself. And how could you adapt it without them, when the tests are a deeply intrinsic part of the narrative? You would end up with a vastly different story.

And Malevolent. Malevolent! Rarely have I experienced a story that so masterfully not only gets around the limitations of its medium, but uses them to their full advantage. How do you explain your lead constantly speaking out loud to themself (since the dialogue-only format doesn’t allow for internal monologue)? Why, put a possessing entity into their head, so that they’re literally never without a conversational partner! How do you fit visual descriptors into the story, since characters explaining their surroundings out loud would be weird? Make one of them blind and the one possessing him his seeing-eye entity, of course!

How could you possibly adapt any of that into, say, a movie? Having the entity describe visuals the viewer can already see would be distracting, but having him not do it would break suspension of disbelief because why is Arthur not constantly bumping into things? Of course, you could remove the blindness, but aside from being a shitty thing to do it would also remove the delicate balance of power between him and the entity that forces the two to co-operate.

I’m thinking about these two stories especially because it’s where my obsession lies right now, but there are lots of examples of similarly interwoven narratives and medium. Think of epistolary books, webcomics with animated images and music, webnovels so adapted for a digital format with links and gifs and layout that actually printing them would take away from the experience (everyone go read What Football Will Look Like in the Future and An Unauthorised Fan Treatise right now, you can thank me later), or other podcasts that give their narrator an intrinsic reason to speak and describe everything aloud, such as The Magnus Archives and The Mistholme Museum (which I need to catch up with, by the way). It drives me insane! The medium is the message!
