September 2020: Odysseus and Theodora discuss the ins and outs of tasting emotions.

On today's episode of Things Nobody Asked About:

- Each person's emotions are represented kind of like a snowflake, where each arm is one family of emotions - amazement, terror, ecstasy, grief, etc. (Like the color wheel of emotions that you can find, but in 3D instead of 2D.) This is why there's a sunburst-like pattern on Odysseus' sigil. All demons that synth emotions have some variation of this on their sigil, though it's not exactly a like.

- A demon can sometimes tell if someone has a mood disorder based on the shape of the snowflake and the arrangement of the arms. There are demons that choose to have their mild-mannered alter egos be psychiatrists because of that, and their job is to better understand and utilize human emotions. A few of them do it because they genuinely want to help humans and further the field of psychiatry buuuuuuuut not many.

I struggled with getting in the information that I wanted while still having it sound like an actual conversation, but hopefully it came out alright!
