Couldnt vote on this, but I'm so glad we all agree
You make a good point. The way taking deep breaths is written heavily distorts how long it actually takes. What takes a second to write would actually take longer to perform. It even leaves room for an awkward silence.
If you need an example, try to remember the last time you went to the doctor's office and they made you take deep breaths while they listened to your heartbeat. Not too bad in the doc's office, but pretty weird when you're in the middle of a conversation.
a big pet peeve of mine with these books is whenever shannon says that someone stopped and took 'multiple deep breaths' before continuing like im SORRY if i was talking to someone and they just stooped and started breathing deeply id assume they were having a panic attack or getting ready to fight me id probably back up
In honor of the return of my Faith: the Unholy Trinity hyperfixation, I finally reblog the fanart that made me cackle the first (and second, and third) time I saw it. John, my beloved, I don't think that should have been gambled (but they probably wouldn't have accepted anything else)
Update on my Inscryption playthrough:
Wait, no, that was good. I'm using that.

Ive said this on another post, but Elwin was also someone who backed her search for her bio parents. When she mentioned that she had a right to know to Forkle, Elwin said "she definitely does." I think it would help her feel better that Elwin WANTED her to know, wanted to be part of her life like a good father would. It would definitely be a step up from Oralie's reaction.
If Elwin is Sophie’s dad can I at least pray she doesn’t feel betrayed? I mean Elwin being her father wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. He has been with her since day one and has been nothing but a listening ear. Yes, him being revealed as her father would make things sticky but I don’t think Sophie would be appalled by the idea. I know people have been saying that she would be angry, and she would have every right to be. But at the same time if it is revealed I don’t think it’ll be that bad… Oralie being Sophie’s biological mom was a lot. The counselors have been against Sophie since the beginning and have made decisions to harm her and her friends constantly. Of course she’s going to be mad because she found out her mother was on the counselor that had been harassing her. But it wasn’t just that it was how Oralie handled it when it was revealed. She kept treating Sophie like she was fragile and shouting “it was the only way for me to have a kid”… like come on Oralie.
If Elwin is revealed that he’s her biological father I know 100% he would take accountability. Something that Oralie could NOT do when it was revealed. He cares for Sophie deeply and would not want her to be hurt so he would take accountability. He would be honest and he wouldn’t lie about anything when it was out. Elwin has always been a man of his word and that’s what i appreciate about him. Not to mention, yes he treats Sophie as a child because she is, but he also treats her as a person with her own life. He wants her to make good decisions and fight for what she wants. He wouldn’t see him having Sophie as his only way to start a family. Elwin would love her as his child not because she’s the moonlark but because she is who she is. He’s constantly proud of her for handling everything even though he knows it’s unfair. He states it in his doctors notes in Unlocked. He has always been on Sophie’s side. When she was exiled and she ran to him for help he was on her side. He fought for her and had hope for her. I don’t think she would be appalled about the fact he would be her dad. I think she would be relieved that it’s not a crazy person.
Would it be disappointing for some readers? Yes. It sure would mess up the headcanon of wanting Elwin to adopt Keefe. (Cuz that would make them kinda siblings… but Keefe can just stay an orphan ngl. I’m joking. I’ll make a new headcanon later.) Anyway- long story short, I don’t think Elwin being Sophie’s dad would be as bad as people say it would be. Not to mention I honestly don’t believe that Sophie would hate Elwin. She might be a little betrayed but come on it’s Sophie guys.

This is just me live-reacting to the GTLive Poppy Playtime Chapter 4.
I saw the blueprints first with the understanding of what the intention was, but if you did not have context, what would it look like to you? I'm really struggling to figure out my own, so I wanted to see what others thought.
I hope all the fucks were funny as intended and not aggressive sounding.
