hello! do you wanna talk about your nano project? cause it sounds absolutely amazing and I am totally intrigued, so I am always available if your wonderful mind wants to rant about it lol
Yes!!! sure!! i am in the process of procrastinating that very WIP and this is an enabler, thank u
so i Will be spoiling things but like. in a very vague way that doesn't really spoil anything because u have no context. anyway
I got the idea in July, because i thought "hm gay dark academia romance with a serial killer in the background". then, being the aromantic bastard i am, the serial killer became the main plotline and the romance became the side plot (still gay. duh). THEN because i'm physically unable to write something without fantasy, i added a Creature, and they're what i'll be rambling about! (wow what a concise intro)
the Creature is a monster made of the collective souls of a bunch of people who died in the 10s, 20s, and 30s in the town. They didn't die because of war shit (well kinda); they died because even tho the mayor was a fukkin billionaire in 30s-equivalents, he did nothing to help. not one thing. 80% of the town starved to death in those decades. The people's anger, resentment, and wishes for revenge manifested in a 15-foot shadow creature that eats people's heads off and drips blood wherever it walks, because why would i ever design a Creature that isnt exceedingly fucked up? not all the lost, stuck souls actually wanna be there, but they are, because death sucks sometimes <3
The Creature (as i shall call it) teams up with the descendant of the mayor, the serial killer, who's just an exceedingly arrogant white teenaged boy who wants attention (its actually more complicated than that but thats another thing). they kill like 6 people and eventually the Creature eats the serial killer. I will not say what happens to the Creature (for now), that's for me to know and everyone else to find out
btw: the Creature's coping mechanism of "murder the rich people who are STILL screwing over everyone else (mayor's descendant)" is very valid. HOWEVER it's method of "kill a bunch of teenagers to get through that path" is exceedingly fucked up and i frown upon that.
that's all my tired brain can think up right now, but feel free to ask more questions!! i thrive off attention!!
thank u and have a good day
