Book of Life Au
Bloodymary ft. Tom Ryder
More of a thought then an actual plan, but Ryland as Maria, Simon as Manolo, and Ryder as Joaquin. Can end with just Ryland and Simon together but what about the polyamory, what about my three amigos?!
I want the friends to lovers, I want long distance longing, I want Tom be be less of an asshole, but still have a big head. I want them still to 'fight' over Ryland but I want the undertones of knowing this is still your friend at the end of the day, the person you grew up with and have a profound relationship with
Do I know where people like Colt or Jody are? No. Where's Rocky and the rest of the crew? We'll figure it out. Are either of the two movie plots going to be integrated in? To early to say.
But... consider Ava and Stratt as La Muerte and Xibalba? Consider it! Two character that were so intertwined into the narrative of life and death being the actual personification of it.
I haven't the slightest clue who the Candle Maker would be.
Ryland goes away, but comes back with so much more knowledge and skills. Confident and witty (more book actuate than the fanon based) and missing his friends. Where is the science you say, its there just hiding behind the wall. Keep looking you'll find it eventually
Simon is the Butcher. I don't know if I want him to kill the bulls and be regretful and outspoken about it or not kill the bulls and have the same arc as Manolo. Butcher stays as a sort of antiphrasis (opposite to its prior meaning) as a mark of shame if we follow the Manolo route and becomes a point of great inner turmoil if he does kill the bull. The choice is still in the air right now
Tom, the big hero, goes town to town (doing his own stunts) saving the day while making a name for himself. Known far a wide, only returning to rekindle his relationship(s) with his childhood friend(s) *wink*
Haven't thought too much past character development and plot stuff but the thoughts are gonna simmer on the stove for now. Throw a rock through my window if this seasoning is flavored right for you, would love to hear if anyone has some thoughts on this.
