like... As we know (as foretold in the legends of syd...) i really am on sort of a terrible little streak with characters rn (i keep calling it The Misogynist Plinko) but it Definitely ties into an already overarching pattern for me, which is an affinity for "turning the tables", so to speak. a common expression of this is where, when it comes to prideful little fuckers, it's a given that i want to essentially Take 'Em Down a Notch, y'know, reversing a sense of prior assumption (often to surprise/embarrassment) and having the character realize they actually enjoy (even if in a guilty pleasure sort of way) a flipped power dynamic by someone else taking the lead instead

and that actually very easily extends to characters i like recently who are, say, entitled/womanizers/handsy in that way (yet are often otherwise sort of pathetic and physically frail rather than intimidating...) only in a slightly different scenario

since it's my controlled fantasy and all, with these guys, scenarios can often start off with imagining something that could be scary or volatile if you thought about it — or at least something that would be unappealing IRL, even if just due to the sheer audacity — such as the aforementioned concept of Getting a Little Handsy Over There, but then ISN'T exactly, for a few reasons: 1. it's make believe land so i get to say what happens next, 2. since i am here thinking about the scenario, it isn't Actually unwanted and this is all part of my enjoyment, and 3. after that i can go, Haha, that's real cute you terrible little man! But if we're going to play that's Not what we're doing :) and then i Contemplating just ending this post with "and then i explode their penas" which made me laugh so Yeah sure then i explode their penas 👍
