What Carl doesn’t realise is that Mordecai will move all of the heavens and align the stars to try and keep both of them alive. That *because* Carl isn’t the one with the manager benefit Mordecai tries his hardest to pull Carl back from the River because if he dies then what will that do to Donut?

Something like Breaking Bad, for example, has low squiggability (that’s what I’m calling this quality). It’s tightly written, the characters are consistent, there’s little left to interpolate or extrapolate. Obviously, people DO write fanfic of Breaking Bad, but it still has a low squiggability score. Whereas something like Supernatural has a high squiggability score. Fantasy and science fiction often have high squiggability scores. This suggests squiggability could also be related to worldbuilding and potential for people to borrow a premise or setting.

Meet Kleebo! I’m going to need a Jedi to play for a ttrpg I’m working on with some friends, and I’ve wanted to come up with a Rodian oc forEVER.

He was born somewhere around ~80 BBY. I’m still working on his whole deal, but his two closest friends and clan mates were older than him and both ended up reassigned to two different branches of the Service Corps. He stated in contact with them and was relieved that they both seemed happy and fulfilled. While he dreamed of being a padawan and traveling the galaxy, he was never a top student and didn’t expect to pass his initiate trials.

By the will of the Force (a literal miracle), Bo had a year of academic and athletic improvement and ended up passing his initiate trials, much to the surprise and delight of his instructors. He was chosen as a padawan, but his first mission was a disaster. His new master was badly injured, and, embarrassed and frustrated by how poorly Bo handled the stress, terminated the apprenticeship. I haven’t worked out the details of what actually happened, but another Jedi who was in the same sector came to their aid and transported them back to Coruscant. That Jedi was Thame Cerulian, and he ended up taking Bo on as his apprentice.

HUGE shoutout to @blueberry-ry for the braid concept, as well as @phi-guy for the non-hair braid inspo!
