Never not thinking about how literally the entire arc of the KoS duology was both set up and foreshadowed at the very beginning of Six of Crows with Van Eck’s quote:
“[amplifiers] only increase a Grisha’s power. Jurda parem alters a Grisha’s perception”
Because this immediately establishes that this power is always possible!!! The neural pathways that parem either stimulates or inhibits don’t make it possible for that power to be done they make it possible for a Grisha to see how to use that power, so theoretically there was always a way of teaching oneself how to learn that perception without chemical input and therefore without the danger that comes from either the stimulation/inhibition of those pathways or the stimulation/inhibition of other pathways and neurons that parem had an impact on
Did this make sense? Idk I’m tired, I hope it made sense

Terence mayhaps
What if Terence D'Arby was in the Jojolands
Who do you guys think each of them would main in mario kart (my headcanons under the cut)
Jodio - Shy Guy (specifically the dark blue version)
Lowkey a pro at this game. Likes to challenge himself in time trials and knows all the best cart combinations. If there is a shortcut on the track, he WILL take it (and will almost always be successful). Actually enjoys Rainbow Road (the real reason for his psychopath diagnosis).
Dragona - Pink Gold Peach (I could see them picking Daisy too)
Just there to have a good time tbh. At least most of the time, because every now and then when they're doing particularly well their competitive streak kicks in, and trust me – once they get into it, they get REALLY into it (cross them at your own risk). Favorite track is Cheep Cheep Beach.
Paco - Bowser
He thinks gaming is dumb and a waste of time (definitely not because he sucks at it). On the rare occasion he does get convinced to play, he keeps bumping into walls and other players (it doesn't help that he picks one of the heaviest characters in the game). Known for notoriously running into banana peels. Gaming sessions usually end in him "inviting" the other players to the gym.
Usagi - Luigi
Relates to Luigi on a personal level for being the underappreciated helper of the group. He's actually quite good at the game. His aim is freakishly accurate and he loves to hoard items to target other players (for unknown reasons they seem to hit everyone but Dragona). Similarly to Jodio, he takes shortcuts almost every chance he gets, but unlike Jodio, it doesn't always go so well. Also probably likes Baby Park like the freak he is.
Charmingman - Dry Bones
Used to play with Mauka a lot, so he's surprisingly good, and can get quite competitive too. Drives solely on bikes, which give him some good ol' maneuverabilty to avoid all those damn banana peels Usagi keeps throwing around. Secretly loves the music tracks and sometimes listens to them while riding his bike irl, imagining himself to be in a race. Favorite item is Boo.
