Internet eats post, film at 11
Oct. 17th, 2022 07:25 pmI was writing a pretty long post that was ostenisbly about alignment systems in RPGs, and how much I liked this one that is organized around demeanor (outward presentation) vs. nature (inner motive/drive), but it was taking several days of off-again, on-again attention to write, and somewhere in there Chrome asked to relaunch for updates and I forgot that the auto-save on dreamwidth is finicky so when I relaunched and it asked if I wanted to restore and I said yes, it just gave me a blank screen, and I'm not going to re-type the whole thing, so I'll just give you the executive summary.
Here is Wirt and Greg from over the Garden Wall, the image, I think captures them fairly well.

It turns out that post was really about how I act like Greg but inside I am Wirt, which makes sense because Greg also acts like Greg to mask his inner Wirt, and the post was morphing into a meditation on the nature of anxiety, or at least, my anxieties, which means it was about to just be a discussion of either Grover, or the Rabbit, Pooh, Eeyore triad, and who knows if that was going to be coherent. At any rate, I am not going to re-write the whole thing but I am pretty sure that's what I like about Greg. Also somewhere in there I was going to explain how this exchange makes perfect sense, despite seeming like a contradictory claim:
