Topic on Talk:Agan Harrison

I would like to add 1. They use they/them pronouns in addition to [ ] pronouns. 2. They are married and their husband's name is Amal Harrison. They love their husband a lot. Their husband quilts. 3. They also like blowling and dlarts and are equally bad at those. 4. They used to teach ski lessons one on one in Breckenridge but never got a lot of business.

Hi there!

Speaking as a Jazz Hands (Discord) lore wrangler and not a wiki mod, we're still trying to figure out what we want/need to have done w/ Agan in preparation for this transfer. That said, a lot of folks have expressed that they want Agan to only use ██ / ███ pronouns, as it's in keeping with the overarching Aggressively Forgettable nature of ███ that we all know and love. Windows users can use the alt code alt+219 to get the █ character, but obviously copying & pasting █ is tedious on Mac, and excessively difficult on mobile, so we'll also often use spoiler text with spaces inside (e.g. ). With this in mind, do you want me to still bring they/them pronouns to the Discord for discussion?

The other ideas you proposed are interesting! I'll be sure to bring them up with the rest of the team to get you some feedback, though it might be a bit before we have anything. Blaseball's being Blaseball, y'know?

I think it's best to talk around Agan, rather than directly about ███. Don't include many direct statements about ███, especially from Blaseball characters. Instead, talk about stuff happening in ███'s proximity, or have characters make guesses or qualified statements about ███. Specific statements work best when they're un-sourced, and written in a way that adds to ███'s mystery, like the bit about eating peanut butter.

I think this gives room to tell stories about ███, but in a way that preserves ███'s mysterious, uncanny quality.

(I created the initial stub for Agan way back in Season 2. I'm happy to let other people have fun with ███, but I'm somewhat attached to ███ core concept).

Thanks for your patience Ivyn. We discussed your ideas on the Discord, and sure enough, people feel quite strongly that Harrison should exclusively use ██ / ███ pronouns. People seem fairly excited by the other three ideas you had, though! The big thing is, as Deafhobbit also mentions, people would like to ensure that writing about Harrison is mysterious. To quote one Discord member describing how he imagines ski students interacting with Harrison:

I can picture a visitor coming each season, trying to request a fun instructor they had last time but they can’t remember the name. At first they’re disappointed but they get put with Agan anyway, have a great time, come back next year and repeat.

While we, as authors, recognize the "truth" of what's happening, within the character of the wiki Harrison would ideally remain enigmatic. I look forward to seeing what you produce!
