Every contestant started as a piece of paper, technically. An idea. On said pieces of paper, are their traits. I can't be fucked to pull hers up or remember, but I'm like pretty sure hers had unreliable/unpredictable on it.

This could make her act out in ANY way, really. But I think it'd be interesting to see her accidentally fall back into her old habits. Like, no matter how much she think she's changing, she'll end up where she started unintentionally.

I honestly think it'd be pretty funky to see an episode where they try and act out of their “written” character, but end up just showing how MePhone4 intended them to be even MORE, which makes them have a crisis or something because they're basically not their own person or whatever.

An idea I had was Knife thought he was changing because of his own will, but after learning MePhone4 had written out basically his whole character arc and how he's destined to have a change of heart no matter what on his paper, would he find less meaning in his growth? Like his efforts wouldn't have mattered since the narrative was practically written out? (Minus some bumps in the road.)

That sounds more like an au, than anything. But it's still fun to think about.

How do you think the contestants would react to finding out they're nothing more than a few words on a page? Like, I know they already know they're technically not real in some sense, but the fact that some contestants will never truely break out of their habits, no matter how much they could hate themselves for it? Interesting!

It's 5am this may not make much sense. I'm fighting off my eyelids and I think I'm seeing shit lowk lowk
