Even the guys who supposedly hate talking about "the narrative" and "roles in a story" are talking to me about the level of importance "the narrative" plays on "your role in the story." Like any of that means anything. Whatever, bro. I'll put my metal teeth under my pillow when they fall out. Maybe the tooth fairy can handle the weight of that. Shit, I hope Santa weighs my soul against a feather and deems me worthy of presents this year. You're fucked in the head.
I've never understood w)(at people are talking aboat w)(en t)(ey start glubbing on in regards to t)(at kind of t)(ing. Pike, yea)(, stories and c)(aracter arcs and w)(atebber are a t)(ing, but we're not c)(aracters? We're people! R-E-EL people! Living LIF-E! I just smile politely and wait for t)(em to stop. My personal belief is t)(at it's eit)(er t)(e results of a gas leak or mass )(ysteria.
It's always the people who were already talking a little loopy.
