Just some bug!!!!

  • she/her

Hi i'm Junebug, the bug from online. I'm very cool and everyone who has ever met me loves me.


rules:

  1. can't just be metacomedy, has to be tragic metacomedy about narrative and existence
  2. have to choose at least 2 minor characters who don't show up enough to have a Real Plot but do show up enough to go "oh those guys
  3. this springs fully formed in exactly the way you imagined it; go simply off of what vibes you think would work best and you'd most want to see
  4. the more interesting the pitch the better

in reply to @JuniperTheory's post:

the first thought that came to me was Squee for Magic the Gathering but I realized that would be more like a particular OTHER story, and at THAT point the phrase "Mountain Gump" popped into my head and I knew I had to share this post, sadly.

the cycle of magic is the storyline gets just robust enough and the production gets just hands off enough that some talented writer starts gesturing at some weird shit like this, and then the novel line collapses again.

we literally were gonna do something like this with the Magic Expanded Multiverse, too! there's a few different characters that kinda fit this archetype! though I wish in retrospect we had been more daringly postmodern with stuff and a little less concerned with literal canon mechanics.
