Finger's Wool Gathering

[Littlefinger]

Onward! New start! New idea! New thread!

You know what would make Mad Max even better? Lesbians. With semi-mystical abilities and DID.

Ever since I saw Grimes's music video for her song Genesis, it's been like a small needle poking at me, an urge. Let's write a young woman's story. In the world turned desert, threatening misogyny disguised as the worship of the feminine coming in from all sides. Girls just wanna have fun, so put your goddamn dick away. Ya nasty.

A collection of ideas, inspiration and recording the struggle and achievements along the way during the process of unraveling and weaving the newest novel idea, Dangels. Let's begin the journey to Fertile Land.

That's fine, just so long as they haven't been out in the desert long enough to turn their skin to leather. You know, movie lesbians, not real lesbians.

Of course, bronze. It's a sexual fantasy type of book. Like the people who read 50 Shades are always saying, "That's not real BDSM!" Of course not. But it's hot.

Brooke Candy is hawt in Genesis, huh? I like her too.
Did you hear Grimes sold Genesis to some commercial, I can remember, a bank or CC company... something like that.

Anyways, Grimes has a concept album inspired by the Dune series, I believe that's where her fondness for deserts originates. I get the feeling she liked the Bene Gesserit, I've seen pics of her rocking a piece of jewelry that looks like the gom jabbar.

Hell yeah, she is! Kind of alien yet sensual tough bitch. Love it.

I've just started getting into Grimes and I'm not much for being a fan of musicians so much as I am a fan of music, if that makes sense. So, I don't know much about her. But yes, she's definitely inspired this need for a "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun" in the desert need for a story in my head. Where you've got your expected rogues and bands of dirty men, raping and pillaging and thinking they own shit just because nobody tells them they don't. And then a band of women surviving on their own who say, "Um, no. To all of that. Just no."

Murica is long-overdue for a frank and honest discussion on leather-skinned lesbians.

To make myself absolutely clear, they aren't wearing leather.

Fag Mob!

It's interesting that you mentioned needle in the OP. The Gom Jabbar is a poisoned needle "the witches" used as part of a test to determine if one is a human or animal. Because a human can overcome pain stimulus... hard for me to explain... im not good at using my words on the fly.

To make myself absolutely clear, they aren't wearing leather.

Agreed. They spend long hours in the hot sun without sunscreen.

I'm not a social justice warrior and I'm far from the unproblematic fiction writer. I agree there does need to be a national discussion about acceptance and minding your business with boundaries and respect and eliminating hate, the kind that entails the wording, "believe whatever you want to believe but treat me like I deserve to be treated, like a human being." But I can't start a story thinking "You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna make this a message for people, I'm going to say something about the world!" It starts first and foremost with a story about me, from me, the internal landscape of thoughts and fantasies and ideas, speaking from a very personal view of the world and how I've experienced it. I'm not looking to represent anybody or give someone a voice, nobody but myself, anyway. And it's usually full of ideas that I find attractive and pleasurable, although I do try to dig deep and go beyond the expected, "everybody is physically beautiful and has sex all the time without any consequences" trope.

Sometimes it morphs into something extremely progressive and great to see. Like, the end scene of Night Land that I just finished has my characters in a polyamorous relationship, a growing family, healthy with understanding and communication and rejecting the strictness of gender roles as something confining and defining. My happily ever after.

That's a rather provocative synopsis, but I fail to see how you're gonna insert leather-skinned lesbians into your plot line.

Christianity has evolved over the years, it just needs to go through another reformation, not like council of nicaea stuff (only heaven knows what men interpreted there), more like a spiritual reformation. 'Cause as far as philosophies go, Jesus had a good message, civility.

Anyways.

Here's an idea for a scene in littlefinger's movie.
A leathery lesbian is being stoned by people, then the hero stands up for her and says something like, "back the fuck off, only God can judge, not you stupid men!"
