i think a lot about that calvin & hobbes strip where they find a trickle of water and calvin is like “i guess we have the afternoon booked solid” or smth. i just really miss that. when you’re a kid and you get completely involved in small things without any real purpose. i remember when i was a kid i used to observe ants for long stretches of time, not doing anything, just looking at them work. there was no anxiety or guilt over being so idle, and very small things could hide a world of enchantment. i just really really miss that feeling.
if you say the phrase “you can’t be mad at me i have the right to free speech” three times in a mirror justin mcelroy appears and vaporizes you instantly
i’m crying because if we’re right, and The Traveler is Artagan… Artagan was lonely. he was so happy when VM visited him, mentioned that they were really his only friends.

My current theory-slash-headcanon-slash-hope is that the Traveler encountered Jester while patronizing the brothel. This mysterious being takes on mortal form to seek out a bit of entertainment, and while he’s there he goes poking around where he’s not supposed to be to see who or what he can mess with a little, because when is a trickster ever really off the clock, and comes across this bored and lonely child. He makes a mental note to try and make whatever havoc he wreaks entertaining for her, but then he sees what she’s already getting up to on her own.
Oh.
This child doesn’t need an entertainer. This child is a performance all her own already. She just needs a manager, and he wants in.
