darchildreI mentioned having feelings about fish people in my last post, right? Well, yesterday I listened to the DART Shadows Over Innsmouth and now I am consumed with fish people feels.
As ever, I find the narrator's embrace of his monstrous nature at the end of that story to be really lovely. (This is...not the takeaway Lovecraft wants me to have but I don't care about his opinions.) Today, I kept thinking to myself that I wanted someone to write me the fic where he goes and actually does get his cousin out of the asylum and they have a roadtrip together towards the sea and self-acceptance. No one is going to but it then occurred to me that there's no reason I can't set that up as a solo journaling rpg and write the story for myself that way - maybe A Lonely Road for the roadtrip part and then Journey for exploring cyclopean and many-columned Y'ha-nthlei. Solo rpgs are for being supremely self-indulgent, after all.
I should probably read Winter Tide again.
