#the themes the theeemes

[zmeu-ra]

Forever touched that the Metroid series is ultimately about beings who are compelled by their most intense emotions - love, instinct, whatever you want to call it - to act irrationally, to do things they would never normally do:

Old Bird did not have to adopt Samus, but he couldn't help it.

Samus did not have to spare the Baby, but she couldn't help it.

The Baby did not have to save Samus from Mother Brain, but it couldn't help it.

Madeline Bergman did not have to treat MB like her daughter, but she couldn't help it.

The SA-X did not have to save Samus from the Omega Metroid, but it couldn't help it.

The Sticker Game

An alternate reality audio drama and journaling game by Cassi Mothwin

Materials

operational document

accompanying audio drama

stickers

journal

Premise

Help a mysterious agency study alternate realities. Connect to another you by following the instructions of your guide and placing stickers in your journal to examine the effects your actions have on them and their world. Have you minded the instructions carefully? Yes? Then you will have nothing to worry about. Happy sciencing!

Mechanics

You listen to a recording provided to you by the agency, providing prompts from your guide to lead you through every step of the experiment. It’s basically an audio drama that sets up and accompanies your game with all the usual trappings. Follow the instructions of the guide and place your stickers in your journal - that’s it! What sounds like a simple game is a simple game. No dice, tables, cards or other special tools needed.

Thoughts and Examples from my Playthrough

At some point, are we going to run out of words to describe the wonderfully weird, multimedia-based games being created? Or is the description at the top simply going to have to get longer to accommodate the scope of them? It probably doesn’t matter and you should instead focus on letting the excellently produced narrative carry you through a whacky 2-hour-journey of alternate dimensions, your pile of unused stickers and gentle self-reflection.

Listening to the audio feels very immersive and I found myself reacting and responding to the guide’s witty dialogue (monologue?) throughout the game. While it is funny and absurd at times, the humour is subtle and not jarring. The amount of time given for each audio prompt is long enough to select and place your stickers, leaving some room for additional doodles and notes if desired. Of course there’s always the option to stop or loop a track to give yourself even more space to create, however I did enjoy a bit of crunch to avoid getting lost in my own thoughts in between prompts. Truly, the game shines when you treat it less like a full-blown journaling game and let your stickers “speak” for you. The further the game progressed, the less inclined I felt to grab my pen and I was better for it.

To be completely honest, it took me a few prompts to let myself relax and enjoy the experience fully. If you’re a true sticker hoarder, this might not be easy at first. I promise though: somewhere in the middle of this game you will run into a freeing sensation of giddiness, as if you entered a portal back to your childhood days where putting a sticker down wasn’t a form of loss but an act of creation and joy. Even if you don’t, it’s as easy as pausing the audio and taking a break or stopping altogether - as with all solo games, it’s always in your hands to navigate the game as you wish.

If I may give one piece of advice: should you have a lot of sticker sheets and fewer individual stickers, cut up your sheets beforehand. Some prompts will be much easier when you have individual stickers. It’s also just fun to have them all on a pile to rummage through.

True to the alternate reality theme, it’s entirely possible to change the materials of your game to your liking. I’ve seen a playthrough using gifs and html on a web page - your imagination is your limit.

The game is highly accommodating, providing a full transcript as well as a cheat sheet with the spoken instructions slightly simplified and shortened. The manual’s design is simple and compelling, easy to read and pleasant to look at. Overall, an incredibly well-rounded game that I’m immensely impatient to try in a group setting.

This might be your cup of coffee if...

you hoard stickers. Use them. Uuuse theeem! This might even cure you of sticker anxiety (no promises).

you want a relatively short and sweet experience that is nevertheless highly engaging and story-driven.

you enjoy being put on the spot a little and challenged to improvise.

you have just a few pages in a journal left to fill and no idea what to put in it.

You can get it on itch.io or DriveThruRPG! :)

Oooh ~ im soo excited for the fic! But idek if I'd read it right away, I'd be too giddy! Can't wait to read about what themes you'd be exploring this time 🤗🤗

And wait ... was that me? A character? The psych teacher? If so ~~~ wowowowow once again, I'm living different lives through you!

On another note, Joon's style is more like me here. I like to take a step back, get my thoughts organized before unpacking. One might end up saying things that can't be taken back in the midst of all the madness 😑

Oh and that dance, Mrs. Kim! Much like that little twirl you do with Mr. Kim. So practiced that it's become a routine. You both might just be my new OTP. 💖💖

Ahhh I get you and can see that Joon vibe in you! So mindful in your approach to life!

Haha, AMOMK is coming soooooon~ 😏 And admittedly the psych teacher is a bit of wish fulfillment in response to this ask, but the beauty of our little fanfic bubble is that it can all be whatever we want!

A still/always-open question: who do you see yourself as in ficsmight you see yourself as in AMOMK? I loved @jovanaprime’s take here! Are you the psych teacher eager to learn more? Are you a nurse? Another teacher at the school? A neighbor? Where do you live, in their city? Tell me what you see!

OMG YESSSSS, the theeemes! The main theme is family dynamics, and the story will have a strong family systems theory bend (mostly Bowen's approach), especially as we learn more about the Kim family's relationships with each other through the events of the story.

You know me. I. LOVE. PSYCHOLOGY! I would love to talk more about this through the story, and if you ever have any questions. If you're into these deeper discussions, check out the 8 interlocking concepts that (I hope, if I've been doing it right) are already sprinkled throughout the drabbles!

Note: Many sites that delve deeper into the 8 interlocking concepts, like the one I linked, touch on religion and spirituality. Bowen seemed to want to incorporate that into the theory as well. If that's a major part of your life and fundamental to your thoughts about family, great! If not, also great! Just highlighting that the family systems approach is not rooted in any one religion and is a broader psychological framework that is open and fluid enough to incorporate whatever is important in your life!

Another theme I hope to unpack in this fic is that there are different kinds of paths and definitions of love. That love is not an end-state or goal. That parts of it stay consistent, and some parts of it evolve. I want to write about these themes because I’m endlessly curious about how we address societal pressures of "coupling up" and "settling down", as depicted through our three main goobers and their full on anaphylactic shock whenever Mrs. Kim brings out her map lol, but also in other characters, like Bongseon x Jihu themselves 😍

It’s been simmering for a while, and it’s aaaaaalmost here for us to enjoy! Hope you enjoy the dance!

Read the A Map of Mrs. Kims original story and follow the #AMOMK tag for drabbles! Full fic coming soon!
