Been thinking about the loaded die thing and how it effects Battat's physical health. Imagine it hurts to spin him around. Imagine Pluey hears that Pippins NEED to be spun frequently for mental health, innocently spins Battat's head, only to hear the most bloodcurdling scream.
Imagine its so loud it causes everyone to go over because it sounded like a dying dog. Imagine Battat struggling to explain things (for once) and the other Pippins having to step in. Imagine how that changes how he's treated in the TV studio. Can't gamble, can't spin, can't roll more then a 1, and even then it gives him physical pain. Permanently fucked up in the head due to being deprived of basic Pippin needs. Responsible and hard-working because that's ALL he has.
OH ABSOLUTELY!!! IT HURTS but i think of it more like a migraine and a wave of nausea than bloodcurdling scream worthy (however i feel like getting shaking with a migraine could probably lead to it rather quick)
Yesyesyesyes<3
There are also weights in his feet
A personal hc of mine is that pippinses can jump rather high and run a decent pace (dice being thrown and going across a table and straight for the floor before you can grab 'em type of deal), those weights in his feet take that away from him fast (he can't walk for a while after getting loaded, its dizzying and his feet hurt, let him sit down)
So he can't jump OR run with the other pippinses either! The whole loading messes him up in every way!
I like to think it's a well known secret among pippinses, what happened with battat, and that the other TV World-ers definitely don't know (he keeps it from Jongler and Pluey especially)
So them running in and him needing to explain the whole ordeal embarrasses him bad, honestly, he's mortified when the other pippinses tell everyone instead of him being able to, makes him want to hide for a while<3
