The oral oubliette. The phonetic prison. Jocular jail. Fun wordplay.

Covet doesn't feel right. This isn't the envious form of wanting, more almost nostalgic. I believe I need to invent a word for this elusive emotion.

Well, we could put two and two together and write a book: "The Shit that Hans and Max Did: You Won't Believe This Shit."

Is there a word for wanting what you can't have? I feel like there is and I know it, but it's escaped to the tip of my tongue.
Envy? Failing that,

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Ive been looking for a nice word to label the numeric score of Dwarf Fortresses new improved
"stress" mechanic for Cavern Keepers compact dwarf summaries.
Recent development news describes how dwarves will hold on to emotional memories for a while, producing a numeric factor which will boost or degrade their reactions to situations.
This factor was known as the "stress counter" in legacy machinations.

Ideas:
wist - the state of ones wits. (archaic/obscure)
mettle - a great word but concerns reaction much more than condition.
brass - boldness
flow - one of the oldest english words apparently. ambiguous.
fortitude, lot, tale, fable... saga

Im favoring wist or saga, but in no hurry.

This one didn't want to be who they was. On the Surface – it was a dull, unconsidered sadness. But everything changed. Which implied everything could change.

Yes. Many of them. All are codified by the kind of people who think it worthwhile to establish and subsequently argue about rules governing other people's sandwiches, mostly for the sake of sheer pedantry.

Seriously, this is a depressing rabbit hole to go down.
