disclaimer this is from circa 2020 but feels relevant to the people dancing to mariachi getting tear gassed today

    Now this is an elevator pitch I’d turn into a two-parter! Y’know? Add lotsa’ drama, the premise is thus, yes, but imagine the people who would do that, how much there’d be to dig and explore there!

    Oh, and it’s all played cheerful and upbeat! Heartbreaking moments, juuust heartbreaking! But leaves you with a warm smile and love for humanity at the end!

        …what? No! How… why… what?!=)))))

        C’moon, you were supposed to be the main character! Like, obviously!=))) The public doesn’t want to see someone unboxing the gift, they wanna know who sent it, why, and how it got there!

        Dammit, I’m having flashbacks to the first time someone asked me if I’d still love them were they a worm, the deer in the headlights is strong with me=)))

          Oh if somebody answered this without showing their work, it would be over. It’s like the ‘what even is reincarnation’ question.

          main character

          Clearly not.

            But… but… the story makes no sense that way! The plot… the character drama, the arcs, none of it works without you!

            I need a Xanax… I need to talk to the Producer… I need the Producer to bring me a Xanax and a body bag, because you’ve MURDERED my vision!
