If you are still interested in the WIP Game, I'd love to learn more about "When Memories Become Weapons"!
I was just about to send you an ask about your wips!
SO I've probably talked about this before, but it's my working title for an 03 Trisha/Sloth character study which is largely about the trap of growing up in a society that tells you your worth is in being a wife and a mother, especially when you don't have role models of people doing things differently. So you're young and you meet this much older man who takes an interest in you and you're (again) young and inexperienced and he's much more loving than your parents so you leave everything behind for him and bear him two children closely together and one day? He goes to buy milk and never comes back /j
And so you realise with growing resentment that all those fantasies were a fallacy and you've been sold a dream under false pretenses and you don't even have your own sense of who you are outside of being a mother and a wife because guess what? You never got a chance to develop it! And now you're a single mom to two children in a rural town where whispers are louder than screams.
And then you die and then you wake up and you are in pain and a voice tells you everything you've been quietly thinking, about how you're an abomination and you should hate those who have created you, and now you have the chance to reject your old life and your children in order to save yourself from the previous life and trap that contributed to your death
and it's based on a lyric from Would've, Could've, Should've by Taylor Swift because "memories feel like weapons" when Sloth is at war with her memories and her old self...
Thank you for asking, I hope you like the idea!
