I'm hoping I'm writing this before you see your assignment email, or that you've come back! See my dear creator tag for more details, especially about Bastard Son (etc), but here we go!
General DNWs I have a weirdly intense embarrassment-adjacent squick that basically goes: if you could describe a character as crestfallen, I'm going to struggle to read it. That goes double if it's not 200% fixed for the character in question before the end of the piece. I am here for angsty, definitely, and I love me some hurt/comfort. But I'd rather no graphic violence, rape, or major character death etc.
Disco Elysium. Oh god, I love so much of this game (the fatphobia a jarring, saddening exception). But I love Kim so much, and realising-he's-maybe-not-100%-straight, trying-to-sober-up Harry.
Idea sparks:
- sheltering somewhere together out of the weather in Martinase
- reserved, compartmentalising Kim letting Harry see all of him (his home, or sharing what lights him up, and/or his body).
- Harry figuring out how to have a life post-addiction and who he might want to be. Or figuring what/who he wants to be sober for, if he's not anywhere near post-addiction yet.
- Both or one of them figuring out how to be really, actually happy. I'm happy for a solo character study here, if you want.
Bastard son... uh, see here for possibly too many of my thoughts?
4'33" - John Cage (Song) I saw this on the fandom list and cackled with joy. So the point of this piece is that whatever you can hear over the next 4 and a half minutes *is* the music. Loosely. Wiki entry here.
Idea sparks:
- So someone's (your fandom fave? an OC?) sitting quietly. Where are they/what're they doing/why. What are they hearing and what are they making it mean?
- A person in an orchestra and/or the conductor making those four ish minutes really mean something to themselves (or the partner they're silently communicating with) I love me some non-verbal communication, in-jokes, and...I'm struggling to find the word for it at speed, but that language that develops between two people that makes sense to them alone.
Good luck! Feel free to use or discard any idea here, basically, and have fun!
