THOUGHTS ABOUT PRE-MURKOFF PHYLLIS FUTTERMAN
This is just something I don't see enough in the fandom works or fics.
But how did Phyllis actually tackled the situation after her father's death and before her detention?
Comics said that the tone of the show started to change, but how did she justified it to the studio workers? It's not a YT podcast, TV shows require a lot of people in production and I never saw it being tackled almost anywhere. Yes, it is a local, private and fairly small TV studio. But one way or another, there must have been technicians of some sort: lighting technicians, sound technicians, camera operators, and editors. Even if we assume that Phyllis herself handled the script, puppets, costumes, and makeup (let's assume).
The channel's television producers, accountants, managers were supposed to work with her... It's a lot of people.
There is so much to say about her charisma on children, but apperantly on adults too. She had to be insanely popular and respected/loved/feared by her colleagues to pull out this shit with show, while doing drug traffic/kidnapping (who btw) and racketeering on the background. And apparently, with constant renovation work going on, given how the police described her studio.
I have no idea why and how she did something like this, but I suppose she was already deeply spiraling after her father's death at this point.
Speaking of Dental drops. The most logical thing would be to sell it not through a show, but through a clinic, and most likely, Doctor Daddy dearest long before started this and it wasn't a new scheme. At least for me, it answers some questions.
How I'd love to see the Phyllis of this era, running the studio after Dad with sweet smiles and an iron fist. A slow (or rapid) descent into total psychosis and delulu, highly charismatic woman in power, whose moral state, which is obvious to those around her but not to her, is beginning to clearly leak and the needle of her moral compass is spinning.
But alas. I do think about drawing her in this era in the future tho.
If anyone have anything good to read about pre-Murkoff Phyllis , pleeease send me links, I found like... One. Also if you have good Coyleberry, just saying.
