quirk permissions
As you may have noticed, Eridan has a somewwhat unusual manner of speech. For the sake of accessibility and/or just because I'm not all about annoying folks, I'm totally happy to turn it off!
If you'd rather Eridan never use courier when conversing with your character, please leave a comment here from each relevant character journal, and I will do my best to avoid courier with you!
>What is it for?
It's a kind of canon tradition that everyone types and speaks in their designated font pattern, or "quirk".
>What does it sound like?
For the most part, it sounds like someone talking normally. However, due to the nature of certain characters' quirks, people headcanon up certain sounds or voices or accents or whatever for them.
Eridan in particular has been confirmed by Andrew Hussie to pronounce his "vv"s (double v's) as "w"s - to go with this, I also personally headcanon him to pronounce his "ww"s (double w's) twice, very quickly and within the flow of the sentence. Easy for him, but kind of ridiculous and hard for most people to emulate, I guess?
You can headcanon him talking however you want. You have full permission to have your character hear him however you want, and react accordingly (within reason of course!). I don't mind the discrepancies, if you don't mind the elephant-in-the-room meta joke we'll have to keep up about it!
