I don’t wanna be a hero, just wanna stay in the line
I’ll never be a Rob De Niro, for me Joe Pesci is fine
And so I follow my own rules and I use them as my tools
To stay alive
I don’t wanna be special, no, no
I just wanna survive
—More Than Survive (Be More Chill)
Yes I named this tale after a Be More Chill song don’t @ me we all knew this would happen
Wow, it feels good to post this. I’ve had this tale in the works for a good couple of months now, like almost a year or something? The thought came to me after reading Mew-ltiverse and
not_a_seagull's collab con article Eric's Journal and realizing applying the same principle to an older Eric article might yield some interesting results.
Thanks to my critters: Uncle Nicolini,
barredowl,
DrAkimoto,
The Pighead,
AbsentmindedNihilist, and especially to
Mew-ltiverse who encouraged me to make this and for looking at, brainstorming, and critting this article over the nine months or so I've been working on it.
