i started to write up a whole thing about marlo and the hero’s journey after making a one-off comment that lodged in my brain and got just about halfway through before realizing... if it holds out for them, it’s entirely the process of their becoming the villain. the departure is octo valley; initiation is the deepsea metro; the return is... whatever comes after that. which i find fascinating because i wrote marlo with the explicit intention of the experience corrupting them, making them unable to return. so. like. conceivably, if the ‘known world’ is where they’re good, and the ‘unknown world’ is where they’re bad, and they can’t go back to the known world...
that’s tasty.
#asterisk i have to think about the return bit. it's so late i can't process what i'm reading#i do think it'd be quite fun to play with the idea of marlo yanking the title of commander from tartar but that's a big jump to make#ties in neatly with their need for power—for a title that grants them control again—but is also a WACK premise esp without context#i was thinking i might shelve them for splatoon 3. focus on someone else and cast them out into the world to finally wander. come back to#the grumpy old lady they were always meant to me#i honestly don't like the monomyth much but it might be fun to invert!#nonsense tag
