Visualisation of his lack of control has always been my canonical theory, but now I've started thinking about it (esp because it seems strange the king's advisor would have ill-fitting robes) I humbly offer another explanation:

They're hand-me-downs

why natori's sleeves are too gd long

in canon-- they're a visual representation of how little control he has over the king and the Entire Situation. his hands are restricted by red tape and his own inhibitions brought on by his role and it makes him a little clumsy sometimes when he needs to use them. also possibly to hide just how many pies he has his hands in

in the dark comedy AU-- don't worry about it. his hands are perfectly clean. honest. he only handles some of the administrative tasks within the organization

in ruination-- can't have shit in the Depression ComaTM

in the hospitality AU-- actually his sleeves aren't as long here. how is it having a modicum of agency for once

imagine the following:

the central character(s) of the most recent fanfic you completed are summoned into your room, in the physical and mental state they were in at the end of your fanfic. they are made fully aware of the following:

they are a fictional character

whatever happened to them in canon was the result of their original author's writing.

whatever happened to them in your fanfic was the result of your writing.

I was looking for a scan of the manga, and found this - which is Very Definitely Not in my copy - which not only has Muta eating all the fish, but another carving of Muta and Baron fighting off the cats!

The movie only ever stipulates Creations as something that gains a soul when someone creates something with all their heart. Officially, that's the only criteria for a Creation.

The manga - at least the official translation - uses the description "when someone puts their hopes and feelings into something they create, those things develop souls" and doesn't use the term Creation, but rather "objects with souls".

So the manga implies that it is limited to physical objects - but, as I've said before, the manga really is its own story, with contradicting aspects to the movie, so you don't have to take this as canonical to the film.

At the end of the day, I think you can decide for yourself whether a Creation has to be physical or not.

Personally, I think non-physical Creations are a really fun concept to play around with - especially in the world we live in now, where so much of what we interact with is in the digital world.

That said, I think there still has to be an act of creation somewhere in the process. There is an inferred sense of spending time and effort working on something, shaping it and refining it, for something to feel truly alive. Whether that's words on a page, brushstrokes, music, it doesn't really matter - the act of creation, in whatever shape, is the important part.

(I have many issues with AI, and the lack of effort is definitely one of them!)

(Also, the concept of digital Creations adds some interesting spanners in the works, but that's a whole other rambling.)

Welcome back to another awesome episode of Honest Character Questions!!!

What counts as a creation? The Baron says that if someone creates something with all of their heart, then that something gains a soul. But then that begs the question: does a creation have to be a physical object to count as one? If someone were to create a self insert character for a story on a sheet of paper, which is more or less something the person wishes to become, could that idea also apply? Or would you have to create an object so that idea can take form?

Do Creations Dream of Clockwork Sheep? Chapter 11!

Hello, hello, after far too long, I finally have the next chapter of Clockwork Sheep up for the offering! This is a fairly short chapter today, mostly because I know what the next scene(s) is, and it would clash terribly with this one.

Enjoy!

The beginning of something I never finished, but quite liked regardless:

In all the written history of the Cat Kingdom, there were only three recorded incidences of royal advisors taking holiday leave, and this was wildly misleading for a number of reasons.

The first was that this depended entirely on what cats had bothered to record, and entire monarch's reigns had been omitted through sheer feline laziness, so the odd advisor's leave was unlikely to make it into the books.

The second reason was that, simply put, very few royal advisors had worked hard enough to either need a holiday, or be noticed when they vanished for prolonged periods of time. Of the three recorded absences, one had been part of an assassination plot, another had been turned into a chicken by a particularly pissed-off witch (and since 'chickenfied' wasn't an option on the paperwork, the clerk had put 'holiday' as cause of absence), and the third had attended a sister's wedding across the kingdom and promptly got swept off his feet by the best cat.

Natori had not planned on being the fourth, but sometimes matters (and holiday forms) got out of paw.
