Straps, clearly.
Seriously, though (ha, serious on a thread about humor), I've had L'yhta wear glasses she doesn't need now and then as a joke, and what she does is buy ones that are too small, then use hairclips to keep them in place.
On the original topic, yes, humor's an important thing. I like to think there's a difference between silliness and humor, or "unserious" and "serious" humor, as it were. The former doesn't take the RP and the characters seriously, while the latter does, and it's better for it. There's a reason there's a lot of playful fun, "slice of life," and comedy event RP in the Tower -- so that the "grimdark" stuff, when it comes up, is all the more powerful because you're invested in the characters.
The last quote by the OP sums up how I feel about it:
Quote:“They all follow that mold, balancing out those small, affable, engaging character moments with the big action that works because it feels like the bad guys are going after your friends instead of your heroes.â€
