I am about 70% done with this post but I've realized this isn't the direction I want to go with it. I'm going to see what I can do to switch some things around to get this posted tonight. If I don't get it up tonight that means I've decided to scrap the whole post and start from scratch tomorrow. We'll see, though. I really like parts of it, and want to save those, but it just doesn't fit my overall vision. I don't want my previous and future narrative tones to clash, which as of right now I feel this post would cause.
