so first I took that one OC from that one homestuck roleplay and rewrote him as the protagonist of a NaNoWriMo novel more-or-less set in the setting of Dr. Jenna Moran's Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine.
I want to take that other OC from that same homestuck roleplay and rewrite her as the protagonist of a magical girl series where I just wank leftist allegory all over everything.
where the first thing she empowers herself with is the right to be angry and take up space. cleansing mother fucking fire. BE CRIMES, find out you DO GAY
where "learning that there are monsters in the world, that they're not far away, they're right here and they've been right here the whole time" is the allegory for learning to recognize police brutality and the violence of the state.
monster-of-the-week: the result of an otherization process imposed on people by society?
except then I also want to gank the mythos and aesthetic of We Know The Devil (and its spiritual successor, Heaven Will Be Mine), and what it posits about devils and monsters and queerness and being our truest selves.
a lot of my friends are unrepentant monsterfuckers and I am too and I love that we're all fully on our bullshit like that.
except then I also LOVE WEREWOLF NARRATIVES, and there's nothing quite like the shock of,
'so that thing you do? uh, that's disassociating.'
'so uh when you disassociate youturn into a monster transform and go around and express your repressed and socially unacceptable desires'
'i'm doing f u c k i n g w h a t'
yeah it's hot as fuck
zuki get your horny allosexual authorial mitts off this you originally characterized this protag character as ace spectrum
AND SO THEN
there's the 'how do I mash up Persona into this?' element.
which is obviously relevant, re:
the necessity of facing and owning your shadow and its desires
hey here's the cool god/monster/hero that represents your soul
p4's 'face and embrace your probably-queer self' and p5's 'embrace your inner rebel and decide to enact justice in a corrupt system; direct action gets the goods.'
-
season 2 is about collective action and community organizing, probably, but magical girl style.
other cool themes: being edgey versus being vulnerable, transformative and restorative justice, destroying corruption versus building new power, the false catharsis of reenacting how you were hurt...
and so yeah. let's fight the fucking state and capital and, yeah, probably the world WILL end(fuck you, global warming) but if we really do believe in the fucking power of friendship and solidarity and mutual aid........well. lots of people are still going to die and that's going to be awful and sad. but we can know we're building a better world for us and for the future.
I don't know how to start this, but I have a lot I want to say about monsters and queers and anarchy and mutual aid and friendship
also like my protagonist needs a fucking family and I -think- she's in the foster system but I really don't know a lot about that and figuring out where to start the research is hard.
was this a shitpost? I don't know, man.
