Sorry About How Weird This Question Is, But I Want To Know:

Sorry about how weird this question is, but I want to know:

*Basically, I want to know if he’d be hotter with a personality transplant or worse, as a vegetable (like, if he took an ice pick to the frontal lobe without it marring his face), or if what people like most about him is his all-around contempt, cleverness, malice, etc.

Personally, I usually try to keep him in character because his personality is already appealing and interestingly messed-up as it was written. Thoughts?

I think I'm speaking for all of us in saying that we're happy you're impatient since we got this great work of art out of it!

Let's see—my interpretation is that this is TLEA "Rafal" because of the cravat, how his hair seems better coiffed than usual, the black swan being unambiguously Evil, and how his hand is positioned like he's about to grab someone by the shoulders, like that one moment in which Sophie screams, and Rafal quips, "Glad to know I'm still scary" from behind.

Alternatively, I could interpret this Rafal as Fall Rafal attempting to intimidate Midas.

spooky

its up to interpretation which rafal this is

Fine, that’s fair. I’ll take it!

If I forgot anyone and left you out, or you would like your tag removed, you can let me know.

Fan of card games??

No, although I can't say for sure since I haven't played many of them.

Inspired by @wisteriaum's "dance with death" piece.

I'd love to hear the explanations or thought processes behind your answers.

And yeah, I guess I'm romanticizing/satirizing all this. What about it? /j

How do you think Rafal would behave/talk in a highly feverish/delirious physical state?

I have a WIP with this concept in it, but I’m not sure I’ll ever finish it. So, for now, I’ll answer: I think he’d be about the same, but turn more irrational and have a lower tolerance for everything, like a hair-trigger temper, and maybe, not be at his best as far as comprehension or coherency of speech go.

Perhaps, like this:

Rafal: Rhian. The noise down there. Get my students to shut up. I can’t take it. The first person who contributes to my migraine should have their tongue cut out… and be drawn and quartered to a discordant orchestra, so I can’t hear their screams above the music. Usually, I like the screams, but not now. Can’t now. It’s all too harsh. Grates on my nerves. Even without tongues, they’ll sound guttural. [with palpable disgust] But inhuman noise is better—easier to ignore and a reminder that I don’t have to be surrounded by live people.

Rhian: [sighs quietly.]

Rafal: Shame. Didn’t think it’d be you. Hmm, we can use Stymphs instead for your execution, yes? But set it up yourself. I can’t move. And bring me opera glasses. I have to watch, to make sure you do it p- [hacks out a cough] properly. Wake me up when you’re ready to start. And don’t get it wrong—
