Something something the way the bones/ashes of a ghost in TGCF work as a totem of love, bc they're literally the anchor of the soul on the mortal realm. Something something Palamedes trusting Camilla to take care of his remains in case he died, so he could come back, trusting her with his soul. Something something Camilla defending ferociously what little she could kept of him near her heart, lamenting she couldn't find the rest, keeping faith to the end.
This is a ghost love story. You could say the way remains and ghosts link is everywhere all over the world, but the specific way theyre a token of love in TGCF reminds me awfully of Camilla and Palamedes whole situation.
Hua Cheng says that if his ashes were destroyed (bc he knows xl enough to know it'd be only when xl is permanently dead and gone himself) (bc if xl doenst want him to remain in this world he won't...) it'd be OK. His soul, his very being on the hands of his beloved. The year of waiting by XL at the end, trusting HC will find his way home to him. Brr.

Even as a kid I knew there was something just wrong about A Bad Case of Stripes
It gave me a weird feeling as a kid too, and I think it's a combination of the illustration style and the subject matter.
David Shannon has such a particular, oil painting esque style. Most of his illustrations are very cartoony, like his iconic No David books:
Like look at that! The features and proportions are exaggerated! Full of bright colors! Reminiscent of something a kid might draw.
But then there's A Bad Case of Stripes. In this book Shannon seems to lean much more into the realm of surrealism, and the result is...
...uncanny. I mean look at those faces!!! Nothing like the caricature bulbous head of little David. These guys look like they crawled out of a Renaissance painting! Look at the shading!!! It looks like you could reach out and touch those little fuzzy blue pompoms! Which brings me to my next point...
A Bad Case of Stripes is just... kid-friendly body horror. There's no gore in it, but what this girl goes through is something straight out of a fever induced nightmare.
Just like those creepy realistic renders of what Patrick Star or Homer Simpson would look like in real life (remember those?) It's the realism, the 3d look, the impeccable shading that makes Stripes so damn creepy. In a more cartoonish style, Stripes probably would've been a wacky little kids book. But because of how realistic the illustrations are...
...We wound up with the suppressed birthplace of body horror phobias for generations to come.

You know what might be really funny? If any of the boys yelled “Well excuuuuuse me princess!” And by any of the boys I mean Hyrule; as a nod to the tv show which is based off of his two games.
Imagine, one of the girls (or his princess) would be complaining continuously about something and he would snap and go off!! The boys would be staring at him like :0 👀

Janet: Well assuming you are clear by next weekend, Cassandra and I are going to the lake and we are going to rent a rowboat. Would you like to come along?
Sam: Yeah, I'd love to.
Janet: Great. Can you send Daniel up next?
Sam: Yeah. [moments later] ♪ Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. ♪
Jack/Daniel/Teal'c: ♪ Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream. ♪

Holy shit hare vs mags and rogier who will win
Me vs Mags and Rogier? In a fight? Fuck, dude. I’m toast XD
But I suppose it matters when this fight is taking place…. Pre-Stormveil, bye bye! I’m dead XD
Post-Godwyn tho… well, I’m still toast, but I think I’d have a shot at escaping. I think my (evil) strategy would be…. Hm. Improvised weapon, aim for Rogier. Run for my life while Mags looks back to check on him. Get killed by triggering Alberich’s in-game ambush in the hall
Of course, if Mags does catch me…………..
I think my only way out of a Rogier-Magdalene fight is by preventing it via appeal to my authorial power.
“Wait! No! Don’t hurt me! One: I still have to finish my shift, and I really really want chinese takeout after. Two: if I go down, Rogier does too! I’m your best shot at saving him! He’s doomed by the narrative, you know.”
“Then why is he not saved?”
“...I—hah, I uh. I started Baldur’s Gate 3? But I’m almost done, I prom—”
*Mags holds up a copy of the game* “This is your reason?”
“yeah :3”
*stomps the game under her foot, grabs me by the scruff of my neck like a cat*
*sets me in front of my laptop* “Then write.” Her eyes narrow. “And quit pouting at me. It won’t work.”
*I look over at Rogier instead, pathetically*
“I’d very much like to live, you know.”
*I open the screen of my laptop and sign in* “Ugh, fine.” (<- as if I could ever say no)
.
.
.
.
*Kar’niss breaks down the door, roaring* “SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK ON OUR FIC!” *revs chainsaw*
…anyway, what were we talking about again? Oh yea. Mags and Rogier will always whoop my ass, XD
sorry for shitposting on main today everyone, I’m a silly mood today
