hi...
how to begin...
Well, I've started to write a comic book with a very good friend of mine who is doing the paneling and art. I'm writing the script and the story (part due to the confidence I gained writing here, as a matter of fact). It's about a college for superheroes (think grange hill meets justice league, or hollyoaks meets the avengers), all manner of characters from all walks of life (quite litereally). Lots of interlinking storylines, from expulsions to sexual experimentation, from school work to mass shootings, and relationships, redemption, persecution and saving the world all along the way.
However, there are two storylines that I want to discuss with you, because It has the most relivance here. they are storylines of and a girls struggles with her weight and identity, and growing realisation of being an FA. Some of this stuff gets pretty strange, so bear with me on this one, I need advice over whether it's handled adultly or not.
Fern (aka Chickmagnet) is a tubby girl whose boyfriend (Dom aka Woodrow) isn't paying her enough attention, emotionally and sexually. Thus, she feels it is something to do with her, and tries to change her appearence, buying a combination of diet pills and tries to vomit up her meal. She is stopped from doing this by Euryale (think medusa, but fat and much nicer), who says to her that it's not her that should change, it's Dom, and she needs to take a stand against it.
Fern misinterprets this, beleiving that that meant to start cheating on him, and sets herself up with Alan (Alloy man... can you see the attraction
). Dom flips out, and they quickly break up rather messily. Fern ends up staying with Alan, even when he becomes a bastard and tries to conquer the world and makes her change anyway, for fear of having no-one to go back to, mainly because she's considered a traitor, but partily because she still feels inadequate, huge and ugly compared to the elitist club Alan creates.
this is some what contrasted with the budding FA romance between the main character, Ashad (Phantasm) and Amilia (Dirigible). Ashad has always had feelings for Amilia, mostly due to her kind and thoughtful nature, but is still coming to terms over whether he is attracted to her personality (in which case, just a friend), or her body as well (in which case, full on girlfriend). During a battle that almost costs his life, he is airlifted out by Amilia (who has self inflation powers) and he comes to realise that he is attracted to her as a whole.
Amilia herself is having a few problems. the nature of her power means that she is a BBW perminantly, and whenever she gets excited sexually, she looses control and blimps up, something she is thoroughly ashamed of. This happens at the end of exams party when she is alone with Ashad. After having a bit to much, they end up making out behind a locked door, and she ends up blimping. Prefuse with apologises and fear, she expects Ashad to leave her due to this fact, saying
"Surely you don't want a Blimp of a girlfriend around?!"
Ashad kisses her and says he wouldn't have it any other way.
Have I handled these story lines with respect, do you think, please get to back to me Asap.
