Well, you've already technically accomplished the first one!
ReplyDeleteWould severed corpus collosum be fatal? Isn't it the thingy that connects the two halves of the brain?
Hm, I looked up rapid eye movement to see if it's the same thing my mom has (turns out it isn't) and saw that it's sometimes associated with sleep paralysis. I get that sometimes. Well, not hallucinations, but I sometimes wake up and see my room around me and try to get up, but I can't move, and then I keep thinking that I got up and am walking down the hall and suddenly I appear back in my bed... -continues to ramble-
Ooh, I really like the one about the protagonist setting up the injustice in order to save someone. That could go really deep. Like, it could be someone who's fed up with their helplessness and ineffectiveness in bringing about positive change in the world, and they eventually become so distressed that they set this whole thing up so they can feel like the hero for once. I could actually see a snapped!America doing that in FanFic.
Haha, I like the sugar and brain juice, for some reason.
Ooh, the last one's cool too.
Very true! Violet is the one that made me want to do that more, though.
DeleteIt's not fatal, actually. Look up "split-brain patients." It's pretty cool.
I think that's a lot more common than the behaviour disorder.
Ooh, that's true. Maybe he was behind The Rules the whole time! Or not.
