haemophilusI fucking love shower thoughts.
So despite loving the project I was talking about in the last post in THEORY I've been having a lot of trouble getting it off the ground for about a month and a half. I've messed with it and planned shit for it and it just has not been working. And I like it but I didn't think anyone would read it and I was like. . .well how passionate am I really about it if I care what other people do and don't read? Because I've written tons of projects where I was sure that nobody was going to read them and I didn't give a fuck. No single fuck given.
I was thinking in the shower and I was like. . .ok so I have this idea of this guy that Mac kind of falls in love with who is this liberal kid, kind of a floater in this punk subculture, and they kinda sort of fall in love. And I'm unraveling this story in my head and I'm like. . .you know what, fuck, I am squeezing a square peg into a round hole here. I'm so enamored by what his sort-of boyfriend represents that I can't see the forest for the trees. Which is that I find this 90s floater punk subculture fascinating and I want Mac to be a part of it for a little while.
So I was like well, this boyfriend thing would not work out for Mac. He would offend/hurt this guy after three seconds because Mac is a fucking asshole. So how do I get him here and what do I want him to be? Well, I had the idea at first that Mac would worm his way into the scene by being a drug dealer and I still think that's a good one. Then Mac gets really into the floater ethos because like he has no job, he's disenchanted and 20, etc. He falls in with these punks, kinda makes friends, maybe fucks some people, but then they start talking super liberal shit and he's like fuck no.
Then like skinheads come up to him and they sweet-talk him and maybe buy some of his drugs and he's like yeah these guys are cool, they like this music, they are conservative just like me :D Only one day push comes to shove and by that I mean hate crimes and Mac either runs away fast or gets caught before they do one and tattles on his new friends.
Meanwhile Charlie is so confused at Mac getting involved in two weird subcultures in under a month.
I'm picturing Mac with blue hair and then a shaved head and Charlie just so confused about it and laughing my ass off.
