Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: Outlandish Choices! 🍞🤪 (Patreon)

While writing some of the more outlandish choice options in TFS, I'm like this:

[Alternate Text: A GIF of late night television host, Jimmy Fallon, saying "Personally, I'm shocked" with a stunned expression before bringing a hand to his chest for added emphasis. He's expressing disbelief while standing before a blue curtain.]

I'm like that^ despite being the one who came up with the scene in the first place; there are some options that are supposed to make you all pause while reading. I'm not sure if you'll pick them, but they are interesting for, er, variety's sake (?). 😂 A few come to mind from Book One: the MC considering poking Milton while he's unconscious in the plant pod, comparing the spriggan's feeding to how baby birds eat/being fascinated by it 🐦, where the MC uses dark humor to say J didn't murder their grandfather, so they shouldn't apologize for it, etc.

There are more of them sprinkled throughout the first book!

Here is an example of a more outlandish choice that will make more sense to those of you who have met Clyde:

#Be silent. You would rather insert your hands into the toaster than make small talk.

I already teased one about the MC being mean when remarking about R's bleach (for their platinum blond(e) hair) seeping into their brain in a past progress update. I think context is key with these! They can dip into dark humor, entirely unexpected remarks, genre awareness, and anything else I feel like! I would say they are more on the page to earn a laugh, prompt a pause, or make you do a double-take than for you to consistently select them. It's your choice. XD
