I will make nothing out of bark, I promise.

You wake up in an alien world. You can't leave. If you try, you'll just wind up somewhere worse. Might as well start colonizing.

Granted, someone in Victor's position could have accumulated immense, beneficent wisdom. But he's stuck in his grooves. He can add spots but not change the existing ones.

There's precedent for wearing a poncho while being nasty and white.

You know what joeys are adorable.

Although this one is way up there for some reason.

That's no reason not to post.

"I get paid a lot of increasingly worthless US dollars for this," I tell myself as my flesh slowly dies.

Emmet's schizoid traits. The "unfairness" of living in a world that can't accommodate them. The internalized condemnation of them.
