because for some reason my blog is yeeting the text from the video with the Amanda Seyfried cover of Little Red Riding Hood, I’m posting the rambling I had for Red under a readmore for anyone who wants to check it out
if anyone’s curious, it’s this song that’s got me inspired rn
so like…listen for a sec, lend me an ear, if you will.
obviously, making a red riding hood twist, we’ve seen it before, I don’t give a shit, I’m here to have fun. I got the idea for a red riding hood character, they’re the kid of someone important. political figure, mob boss, idk just yet, they’re a special target and that’s all that matters.
in this take, the “wolf” is someone meant to kill red–they can be an actual wolf, or just have wolf characteristics and be an assassin/warrior/whatever. maybe their families are rivals or something, either way, there’s a kind of loyalty and taught animosity toward red’s family.
in the background, tho, we’ve got our “woodsman” character. I’m imagining they’re meant to be red’s protector, a bodyguard, maybe even childhood friend. at some point during travels, woodsman and red get separated, and wolf is about to kill red when something happens that causes wolf to fall hard for red.
the three end up on the run together, wolf and woodsman maybe having a kind of rivalry with one another regarding red (which could just straight up turn into an ot3 situation, depends on how things played out) but either way, could be a fun semi-slow burn maybe?
I just like the idea and I think it could be really fun
