Obligatory Second Ask Breaking My Previous Rule: WHERE DID "What Is Dreamed Will Not Decay" COME FROM

Obligatory second ask breaking my previous rule: WHERE DID "What is dreamed will not decay" COME FROM IT HAUNTS ME I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

Lmaoo I will always be a mixture of entertained and the awkwardly-looking-away gif at your favorite Nightgown King line. See, IBIMM spawned out of a few of Grimm’s lines. Quite a few of said lines took place in the epilogue and I was so proud of them that, in the same first five minutes that I’d come up with the story, I decided to go for its weird ending instead of clear cut ending just so I could include his epilogue lines.

“Ashes cool and embers fade, but what is dreamed will not decay”? It was not one of those lines

I wrote the last like six chapters in a haze, rushing to get it done, and there was a gap in the epilogue that needed something, right after PK’s “remember me” line. So I threw something up there, finished the chapter, came back and looked and that line and went ://// It’s fine, I guess. It rhymes enough. I thought it was a little clunky and disruptive to the chapter flow, but my writing process is mostly me being too lazy to revise anything so I threw the epilogue to the wind without a second glance

And then you decided it was the best line and I have never gotten over it

I am also forever going to agree that it’s hysterical that you’ve been out here hissing through teeth for months about hating PK while writing him incredibly well

Though I also continuing to posit that being a PK appreciator heavily involves wanting to drop kick him into the sun, so liking him does not make him immune to going into the shredder. In he must go.

i was rereading my favourite W&G chapters, wich are the ones with PK and Hollow and i still think is so amusing that you didnt even liked PK that much and yet you write him so perfectly, literally histerical

SHRIEKS

To be fair, he's SOMEWHAT grown on me, and the worse the fandom butchers his characterization (which is unfortunately common in on ao3 x.x), the more I feel compelled to defend him. There's a few authors I know who do him justice (Ruthlesslistener, Dropout, to name a couple), but for the most part a lot of people do not seem to understand that he is so fucking nuanced and that he was in a lose-lose situation.

DGMW I still wanna stuff him through the shredder because I love Hollow-- but I need the world to understand that PK is not this cackling thoughtless emotionless evil person. He's a person who was in a situation that had no good outcome, and was just trying to do the best he could for the majority, while fully recognizing the evils of his own actions.

Nuance! Layers!

Let him be an onion!

And let me stuff that onion in the blender a few times!

Quirrel, Elderbug, Myla? :3

Quirrel: What was your favorite thing to discover for the first time?

Every new map, I swear. I feel like I actually really got a thrill out of entering Crystal Peaks for the first time, even though it proceeded to be my least favorite map platforming-wise until I got better at gameplay. Same goes for the City and for Kingdom’s Edge (my beloved? For some reason?)

Or maybe my favorite thing to discover for the first time was just the stag station in Deepnest so I could stop my new player sobbing trip down there.

Elderbug: Do you stop to talk to all the NPCs? Who is your favorite?

I do. I must. It simply would be illegal if I didn’t. Unless I’m doing a speedrun and then the brain has decided it is illegal for me to talk to Elderbug so he gets run past and left to make his sad noise. Guilt. 

Quirrel is a good dude, he let me sit on a bench with him. I love Cornifer so maybe it’s him. I was half convinced he was actually a higher being in my first playthrough because he was just so unstoppable, up until Deepnest. I’m tempted to say Divine just because she’s unhinged.

Myla: What’s your favorite song from the soundtrack?

NO

NO I CAN’T DO THIS ONE

(maniac who has gotten the sheet music now for every song in the soundtrack except for two so far)

I guess White Palace. I guess. If I had to pick. But agh. I’m also partial to Pale Court but after much time going back and forth on it, I think the og White Palace OST beats it. Combat music wise, Sealed Vessel is the song of all time, but Broken Vessel and Nightmare King are responsible for pushing me into buying the game.
