Anybody thought about how the miasma theory applies to the special stardust glitches? The miasma theory was basically that certain illnesses were caused by “bad air” or particles suspended in the air. This is why plague doctors wore those ridiculous masks. 

I’ve heard that the cure for such diseases was thought to be good air–which is why tuberculosis patients would be sent to various “clean” locations–but I heard those things in English class (miasmas were often referenced by people like Shakespeare and used as a metaphor) and can’t find anything to back it up right now. But if it were true, John would basically be providing the good air that clears out the miasma.

Also the whole blow in your cartridge to fix it thing, but it’s 1:30am here and I know if I put off making this post till morning I’ll never make it so.
