about your rewrite! does it change the Samantha arc much? if so, how does it? and how is Sam shown to have their bad behaviors encouraged by others? (just in general, but you can connect it to the rewrite of the Samantha arc if you’d like! that’d be sick.)
I don’t think I’ll add the Samantha arc into my rewrite, I never liked the reason why its in the series. Also I don’t think it would fit into MY narrative.
I do like Samantha as an idea, I always pictured Sam as a theatre kid, drag could be something he would do. Or when there aren’t many girls in a theatre production, he would dress as Samantha to fill in a female role. So fun!
My Sam is kind hearted, he enjoys helping people and doing tasks for others. He very much blends into the crowd, he doesn’t have a passion yet so he stands still. His bad habits tend to be in manic episodes, high to low days. He tries everything but doesn’t feel like he belongs anywhere.
I think YHS works best when all the characters have a dynamic relationship with each other. Sam knows everyyyonnneeeeeeeeee, he does anything a person asks of him! I think his classmates would use him for tasks because thats how he presents himself as. Though Id say most think it’s a way to help him find his way, Sam gets very busy with the workload that he denies himself time.
Sam is the main character in my rewrite, my antagonist would threaten Sam’s self control (and or passion. i.e if Sam even helps his community?) Most importantly, they have to try to destroy the dynamic set in the school.
If i didnt make sense im drunk sorry i love tartuis
