working on a gothic novel i gave up on two years ago is fun because since then i have come out, given up entirely on “good representation”, and gotten interested in marxist feminism. amazing how much of the problems with the original draft are solved by these things

#merricat.txt #like yes making my trans girl protagonist super dishonest and the lesbian romance subplot super predatory #plays into some bad stereotypes #but like i am in fact a trans girl who enjoys lying and thinks the predatory lesbian stereotype is sexy #like art is supposed to communicate things and what this is communicating is that I suck and it’s morally fine to poison rich people #a more serious take on these tags is that artistically i am super interested in complicity and the #eroticisation of power and I’m glad I feel more comfortable exploring these things now
