#in ways that she couldnt control & shes still intrigued by him & sought a deeper relationship with him

one thing about my ocs is like. there are only so many themes i can put into a story that im not ever going to write. like im unlikely to ever write anything serious about strangeways & mihangel they just sort of hang around in my mind. but theres only so much i can give Them before it starts getting ridiculous. i put isolation & alienation & undefined relationships & time travel & undeadness & folklore & goth clubs & long walks at night & urban exploring & investigating the paranormal/extraterrestrial & [specific music i like] & instruments i wish i could play & hobbies i wish i had & things i wish i could do in there already. & it already takes a lot from doctor who (more directly as its set at least partially in that universe) & the x files (my ocs were investigating the unexplained before i had started x files but now that i have seen it ive like... consolidated my ideas around it a bit more) & like. yes i can do what i want forever but theres only so many more Themes i can add.

i'd like to do Vampirism for example. i can link that to strangeways slow aging & feelings of being different & mihangel's undeadness & the way they both feel removed from general society but also ive made them both sort of goth-adjacent (because i personally like that stuff) so it would be a bit heavy handed to have literal vampires & lots of bleeding so it would have to be more subtle than that. however in vampire science the vampires run a goth bar & its like a... no one suspects goths are real vampires cos they all just Look Like That anyways so yknow there are ways to do it. but their story isnt one that leans into camp soooooo. but you see what i mean? i thought damn with strangeways being the age she is she would probably have been raised religious & mihangel is from a rural welsh background she probably is as well, giving one of them catholic guilt might be a fun thing to explore but it that too much ? watching the x files & how they deal with scully's catholocism combined with her rationality is really interesting to me but i cant just write strangeways as Exactly That especially cos a lot of their setting does owe a lot to the x files already (even just their general thing of 'two people in an undefined relationship investigate the paranormal & extraterrestrial, one more experienced than the other & doing it for personal reasons').

like obviously it is my world i made up in my mind for my own enjoyment but. do you see what i mean
