experimenting in a random paperdoll game on itch.io, and I think I stumbled blithely onto a character design good enough I have to do something with it
'halo around the ears' is an IMPOSSIBLY good look
cw: eye contact
@hystericempress ...
shit, you're right
i will start working on the formal proof immediately; i think this one can be generalized to all cases
@zebratron2084 I figure her halo:
A) is physical enough to be inconvenient and gets stuck on things
B) is somewhat elastic and will stretch for comedic effect or big ears-flattened-back reactions like a big hat brim
@hystericempress i think you've found a source of great power here sis but i know you will wield it with a pure heart
@zebratron2084 I think my elevator pitch here is 'wildly enthusiastic but inexperienced and naive gnostic guardian angel' whose job is EXPLICITLY encouraging people to Be Better by rewarding them for good behavior more DIRECTLY
her 'true form' is a winged, flaming wheel covered in eyes, but 'cute, approachable bunny rabbit smells and tastes like chocolate' tested better in their focus groups for reasons the higher Aeons don't ENTIRELY understand yet
@zebratron2084 "See, we just discovered this thing called 'operant conditioning,' and it's super fun! The way it works is, any time you do something good, I get to reward you with one of your innermost desires, and if it works right, you'll just turn into a better person automatically! So, please just take this form and list every single one of your deepest, most intimately-personal urges and I can get to work! I mean, obviously I already know what they are, but this is just for paperwork."
@hystericempress So what you're saying is, The Good Place wouldn't have been able to air on network TV if she'd been around...
@hystericempress you finished the series, right? :D yeah janet revolutionized how i play hladolet, janet is hladi's idol :D ask any genie, just because you have an overpowering urge to serve others doesn't mean you can't be the most powerful and determined one in the room...
@zebratron2084 "Janet but horny and with a slightly-stronger sense of identity" is the vibe, yes.
