The Secret to Life Tour - From Martin's Camera Roll

The last time we were on a long flight, my wife and I invented a game we call "Little Guy."

You start a game of Little Guy by saying, "I'm gonna hand you a little guy." The little guy is some kind of baby animal you are imagining. "Oh," she might say in response, "Okay," and hold out her hands for it. I will then mime handing her the animal. This provides some clues as to the little guy's size, weight, and general ungainliness.

She then gets to ask questions about what kind of little guy this is, BUT NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE OR SPECIES ARE ALLOWED. Qualitative questions, or questions about his behavior, are the only ones permitted. She can ask "Is he soft?" or "Does he seem nervous about being held?" or "If I put him in the bathtub, does he seem okay with that?" or "Would he like a lil grape?" or "Is he the sort of little fellow who would wear a vest in a children's book?" but not "Does he have fur," "Is he a reptile," "Is he from Asia," etc. Some questions are in a grey area so you have to follow your heart, but the point is not to identify the animal as fast as possible: the point is to guess the animal purely based on vibes + how he would act if he were in your living room right now.

And I'm not limited to yes or no answers! If she asks, "Would it feel appropriate to see this little guy in a propeller hat?" I can reply, "Oh no, he has a gravity to him. A bowler hat would be a more appropriate hat." Or if she asks, "Does this little guy have protagonist energy?" I can say something like, "he probably wouldn't be the main character in a children's cartoon. He'd probably be the main character's ditzy best friend who's always eating sandwiches, or something."

We're big Twenty Questions to kill time in a waiting room people, but Little Guy is more about the journey than the destination. It's got a different kind of sauce that's nice if "killing time" and "lowering anxiety" need to happen hand in hand.

Pixlriffs: Continued

#Tbh i think “immortal who wanders off so frequently his entire kingdom is just used to it” is so much funnier#He just misses a council meeting and everyone goes “well I guess we're a democracy now” and they do that until he comes back#Where's he going?? They don't know and it's futile to ask#They don't even throw “welcome back!” parties anymore he just makes himself a cup of tea and goes to bed and that's that#It's been like this for hundreds of years

bestie i need you to know that every since you said this i have been rotating it in my mind like a rotisserie chicken.

Just

Pixandria functionally being Not A Monarchy At All and Pix himself being barely a figurehead at this point. Council members are elected by the citizens and they have the understanding that actually they are the government rather than advisors to the government /monarch.

Pix doesn't even have that many ceremonial duties because they can't guarantee he'll be there for the ceremonies.

It's not even just the exile thing its his tendency to wander off and live the wandering trader lifestyle for years at a time.

They have a cork board in the council chamber entirely for recording sightings of their king in case they actually do need him for something then at least they know he was possibly in Mezalea two weeks ago.

There are literal generations worth of Pixandrians who have lived under this system of government. He is a cryptid in his own nation.

Pix's one, indespensible role, other than Keeper of the Vigil (which is religious, not political, though the lines do blur) is Fighter of Wars.

Because several, several centuries back, there was a war. And Pix showed up to the war, not realizing what was going on, all by himself. No army. And it was so awkward for all the other rulers that they ended up resolving the conflict via single combat between the leaders of the various factions.

This is how wars have happened ever since. For this and this alone, Pixandria loves their king and will not be overthrowing or discarding him anytime since.

There have been a few exceptions to the War Traditions, mostly wars of extermination-style campaigns of the War Crimes variety, such as the one waged against the ocean empire that resulted in Lizzie becoming queen of the survivors.

redstone has a tendency to build up in the body over time. this most noticeably manifests in progressive changes to the color of the eyes, eventually turning the sclera and iris entirely red

mumbo was, of course, unaware of this, and feels so silly for forgetting to develop symptoms that he has since refused multiple lucrative offers to participate in research studies
