    <content type="html">I like worldbuilding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm building frameworks. Particularly, I'm building broken frameworks for my protagonists to wander around in and go, "What idiot made a universe like THIS?  Can't you see that if you just give it a good shove here --" *SHOVE*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*ominous creaking from the set*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Uh-oh..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*more ominous creaking*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*evil laughter over the speakers*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"RUN."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the real world, it is my job to iron-plate everything, to make it impossible to break it, tear it down, or shoot your foot off with it.  Therefore, it's a real, honest, evil-wish-fulfilling joy to build something that I know is going to break, know that it's going to break in a big ugly interesting way on my characters, and know that it's SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My protagonists don't seem too pleased with me.  Fortunately, they haven't found where I locked up the pitchforks yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=juniper&amp;ditemid=13139" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
