#ive always headcanoned brycen as being in his 50s/60s

This is more of a note to self than anything but a dynamic I'd love to see explored more is one between Diantha and Brycen. I think you could go a few different routes with them, such as:

1. Both mutually are huge fans of each other's work and have never worked together but would jump at the opportunity to do so

2. Diantha thinks Brycen is really good at what he does but is very old-school and kind of has his head up his ass. Brycen barely gives her crumbs and thinks of Diantha as a whippersnapper who has a lot still to learn. Both rest on their laurels a bit and find it irritating in the other.

3. Diantha grew up watching Brycen's movies and is a huge fan and after getting to work with him, her star struck image of him is shattered bc he's an arrogant old man who doesn't handle input/criticism well from those he sees as less experienced than him. Which is stupid bc I see Diantha having been an actress for most of her life but in his brain he's older with more life experience and therefore "knows better"

4. Brycen is normally quiet and keeps to himself but finds he has a soft spot for Diantha after meeting and working with her and they have somewhat of an informal mentorship dynamic. She enjoys that she's seemingly broken through some of his standoffish grumpy old man exterior.
