Final essay in my fan fiction class for the Pride and Prejudice unit was about examining the Pride and Prejudice fan fiction we’ve interacted with and deciding what elements of the origin text and the subsequent fan fiction we would want to “love, marry, or kill” in relation to our own hypothetical fan fiction
(and of course how we would use our work and knowledge of other works to develop social commentary bc most fan fiction makes social commentary on some level)
So I thought a contemporary version of Pride and Prejudice that follows the plot of the origin text but Mr. Darcy is a woman (so we get lesbians) and Mr. Bingley is a really terrible wingman and part of the plot hinges on Mrs. Bennett constantly trying to set Elizabeth up with men bc it would make the family look better in some way but Mr. Bennett is like “have you seen our daughter??? She is so gay you can’t keep doing this”
(which is how we still get conflict related to Mr. Collins and Wickham, who I think I would also make a woman cause it’d be funny)
But anyways I think this would be fun bc a lot of Pride and Prejudice’s conflict comes from societal expectations and stupid unspoken social rules so in a contemporary setting making it really queer would be a good way to uphold this type of conflict without it feeling weirdly outdated
Also toxic yuri :)
So stereotypical man knows how to fix stuff, yeah? Like, helping if the washing machine broke or the toilet or the sink has a leaky pipe.
Daryl does not know how to do this. He was never taught, understandably.
I think it'd make a cute drabble with Daryl x Reader where maybe one of the group [Alexandria era] is talking about how a pipe in their house is leaking and they all sorta maybe kinda glance at Daryl because he seems to know how to do a lot of stuff. And he just clams up awkwardly, before Reader mentions they know how to fix stuff like that and offer to do it for them.
And ofc later when Reader's fixing it, Daryl's watching as they narrate what they're doing.
It may or may not be hot to him
Fox in high heels and a dress: I don’t get paid enough for this.
Thorn whose taking pictures: We don’t get paid at all
Fic idea that I’m never going to find the energy to write but made myself laugh with;
What if the CG pretty woman/miss congeniality Fox for an assignment and he ends up being corries most eligible bachelor? He gets assigned a senator girlfriend because one too many admirers try to stalk him. Riyo is chosen because she is nice to clones and Fox has had a crush for a while.
