One thing I haven't seen explored much in mg stories where your negative emotions can lead to you becoming the center of a monster of the week event is how does this effect the civilians long term?
Would some people become more emotionally repressed if this situation continued long enough because they know that being openly negative is risky? Like sure you could tell your friend they're doing something that's bothering you, but what if their level of distress at being told this becomes so great that they become a grief monster? Would you really want to take the risk of telling the hard truths to someone knowing they would become incredibly durable, violent, hard to restrain, and almost impossible to reason with?
Would openly emotional people start getting ostracized as people piece together what type of situations normally precede monster attacks? Like do you really want to spend time with the local crybaby knowing anything could set them off at any time and you will need to have an escape plan ready because you can't help them when that happens?
Medical professionals giving diagnoses of terminal diseases is already straining enough but imagine knowing there is a nonzero chance that your patients' struggle to cope with their feelings about the diagnoses would make them become a superhuman level threat to society and you will be in a very small closed room with them(and probably alone) when you break the news. That would make the whole event so much more stressful
I think that's a type of idea I'd like to delve into in the future
#onegai my melody has one episode that sort of touches on this#with the my melo fanboy being punished for being too easy of a target for kuromi#but that's the only example i can think of#maybe I jusr haven't watched enough mg media#anyway I'd like to explore this in the future. maybe when I finish tmmd#it'd be better than jumping into another big multi-part series which has been in the cards for....years at this point I think#one downside is this story could not take place in purple Pond's universe#so I'd have to make an all new world with all new worldbuilding#i could maybe cut down on character creation needs by reusing my invert au designs from purple pond#it'd be nice to actually use those guys for things besides pretty illustrations#and they already have personalities(even if those personalties are just them being the opposite of their main universe counterparts)#it'd be nice to have some more bitchy self serving protags. i don't do a lot of those#and I want variety in my protags' temperaments the same way I want variety in their looks and backgrounds#granted they can't be too terrible because of the emotion monster threat unless I want a dark comedy story but still
