I have a friend who likes to fill in the following part of emotes that include would in them (without explaining what prevented them from doing said action) with "but they were mauled by a bear". Mind you, we don't actually post that in chat to anyone. It's just an inside joke of our guild's Mumble. But it's what I'm always going to think in my mind about that character's actions, unless they fill in the blanks.
Sarah would prance down the street, humming a tune that was full of joy... but she was mauled by a bear.
This keeps me sane.
Love it.
I was just going to reply something similar. The use of "Hero would..." as an opener to sentences grammatically implies that there is a second segment to the sentence which prevents what Hero had been intending to do.Â
In my case, I finish the sentences in my head-canon with "...but a shiny thing was distracting." It turns everyone who writes that way into Kender.
