Hiya, you! I played some Clicker Heroes, Deltarune (jevil when i get you jevil) and Blush Blush today, and ate cheddar broccoli noodles today! But that's not why you're here, is it? Kehehe!
I've been writing this songfic for a little while based on the song Under My Skin by Jukebox The Ghost (give it a listen on Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube, etc.) and since I've spent a cumulative... ahem... 15 (fifteen) hours and 40 (forty) minutes writing this so far, currently sitting at 6,869 (six thousand eight hundred sixty-nine) words. So I think some chatter is in order!
Isaac purses his lips. “Why not?” He asks, and his father lids his eyes and glares like he is stupid. “You’re not designing your hero persona. Why would you do that? I know what works.” Midas says with a dismissive wave of his hand. The new section is about combat and what is off-limits, even against a villain or vigilante.
What a neat little chunk from the current longest chunk of writing not broken up by the lyrics! Isaac and Midas's father-son relationship is strained. This is around the time their neglectful dynamic is evolving into a downright abusive and controlling one. I think this is the most notable thing about the way Isaac feels about his father. He gets uncomfortable from any affection from Midas, finds him being cheery out-of-place, and generally, isn't used to speaking with him. The same is the case with his mother.
A lot of these detached, 'wrong' feelings are very personal to me! I'm trying to portray them accurately because WOW! It's so weird to have your love language as touch and then someone you have this detached view of touch you and feel so disgusted you want to explode. So I wanted to give the reader that sort of feeling with him, that it's not normal and just isn't right.
