my ideal version of scrabble would have a bonus point multiplier depending on how pretentious your word is. I should get 30 points for “ennui” minimum

The Graphic Audio full cast audiobook is utterly great btw (I’m now at 3.5 “re-reads”, with two of the books and one-and-a-bit of the audiobooks 😂)

Orualhonestly the terrifying thing about adapting for screen is the casting. like...how do you cast this story with all the gender shenanigans. Hollywood would 100% fuck this up unless she got a Brandon Sanderson style blank cheque.
1 3Robin BerjonYou're right, but it could happen!
1 2OrualI really hope. the right way to cast it probably involves a LOT of trans people.
1 3Robin BerjonMaybe only trans people 😁

EmeliaSounds like a job for @theabigailthorn.bsky.social and @morganaignis.bsky.social — they recently did a short together called Dracular's Ex-Girlfriend which was fantastic.
4Robin BerjonI know, not easy! But then I thought that Arrival couldn't be adapted.
2 4Aaron RodericksBeautiful movie

I noodle about my pet atproto project for playing board & card games without a trusted 3rd party, and the foundations I'd need to make it a smooth and fun experience for people!
