Dec. 31st, 2025 08:21 pma friend and i got to discussing octopus gregor and now he would look in various gregor scenes. she suggested the scene at the end of memory, where gregor, illyan, ivan, and miles are in the jail cell during haroche's confession. so there's that.
some text is cribbed completely from memory by LM Bujold; that isn't mine.
i didn't bother to copy all of the dialogue here, especially the haroche stuff, mostly out of laziness. the scene is better with it. also i admit that probably going octopus mode on haroche is the opposite of gregor's real intention here in canon, which his calm confidence, and the octopus probably suggests a much more visible rage. i definitely don't think it's as good as the original scene, but you know, i guess maybe once you pass the line of "turning a guy into an octopus," you're just doing whatever seems good at the time.
i enjoyed this. feel free to suggest other octopus gregor rewrites into my ask box.
