Someone to paint the fourth wall with?

[insourarmor.livejournal.com]

So one of the big things with my crack-addled canon is that the characters are, well, characters. The world as they know it is largely controlled by a dead man writing it as a story (don't... don't ask.) and Mytho is even ripped straight from a fairy tale. As such, the story and the characters have some preoccupation with fairy tale tropes, storytelling, and the nature of the fourth wall.

What I'm wondering and sparing the OOC comm from, is if there are any characters/muns floating around with similar preoccupations with stories/fairy tale type things/so on.

Yes, I know we just had a plotting meme last night, but I got there late (even if I used a placeholderp) and I really wanted to have some text in the post instead of just posting this image that makes a joke of Tony Stark's most well-known character trait.

har har. har har. har.

Other than the obvious, there's a relatively common theory that Katurian is a character in one of his own stories, because he occasionally refers to himself in the third person and addresses the audience (even... when... dead...). The Pillowman pretty much crushes the fourth wall and throws bodies between the two sides.

Katurian is so depressing, he writes horrifically sad murder mysteries involving himself. :\

HE WOULD.

I haven't chosen a stance on the theory, but I think he's the kind of guy that keeps a running narrative of his whole life even if he isn't a character in the explicit sense. There's that one line he has in the play that's like "I'VE BEEN ARRESTED AND I'M PROBABLY GOING TO DIE this would make a great story. :|a" Priorities: he has them.
