Or, I suppose more accurately, I am not talking about the idea of self inserting yourself into a story but more like... Well, dear reader, have you watched a movie and thought about how you'd act in it or how you'd be in that universe's reality?
I'll be honest, first of all. I am not a city girl, nor a country girl. Dear reader, I'm a sub-urban girl. Which more or less means, nature is cool, when it's the fuck away from me. I like cats and dogs, but anything else, I am not a fan.
In that point, I do suppose I am quite the good set up for the "city/sub-urban girl has to go to the country to learn how to be better through a tough-love routine" sort. But uh... I feel like I'm too good at defaulting to order to do that either. In other words, I'd just keep my head down serve my time before buzzing off and never coming back.
In other words, it would be the most insanely boring plot for a movie humanly possible. Can you imagine if the plot was just a random out-of-towner girl has to go to a farms and then the plot is just, nothing. Not much in conflict and mostly no relationship building. Yay.
Also, again. I'm kinda terrified of horses. Why are they so big? Why would I want to be any where near a horse? I think engines are just better anyways. I don't wanna be close to animal that freaking big when if I want transport, bikes work just great. If you have a tumble on your bike, only you really get hurt. While if you have a tumble on a horse, the horse could get hurt.
I have no idea which arcitype I'd be. I do think the means girls really stupid friend is the likely choice. You know the type, Karen from the mean girls. No thoughts just vibes.
But most likely I'd be more of a random off shoot character who is just there for the one gag or season special. Hopfully halloween, I love halloween.
I do think everyone wishes they could be the quirky alt-girl friend, but my challenge is I feel like I am far from the sharpest tool in the shed. Far frome the brightest bulb. So the sharp tongue insults are very dependent on too many factors to count as a personality trait. And, I'm not atlethic enough to be a jock or cheerleader sort.
If I do end up on the MC's friend group, I'd probably be more of a manic pixie dream girl. As in, "roll in, hang about, roll out". I'm used to leaving places after about a year or so. So, I'd likely just make fast friends before having to dip again.
Okay, right off the bat. I have never physically got into a proper fight. SO, honestly, I'd just realistically loose. But well, we're assuming I'm being written into this reality I'd be somewhat able to full a role in that reality.
But, I'm likely to be a non-combatatent. Either the techie/other operative or just a damsel in distress. Either way, I think I'm mostly fine with it. I mean, I'd make a pretty damn good side character I think. I could make a great damsel in distress, my go to response when stressed is comedy. I'd be a fan-favourite!
Also, I've watched a lot of action movies, so I might have a faint idea of the tropes if I realise I've been self inserted into one. Not that that does all that much, but hey, somethings better than nothing.
I'm gonna be honest, I am sadly likely to be a "final girl". I know,, I know. How boring. But here me out, I am not really the most social person, I don't drink, I don't like parties, I am too chicken shit to go wandering into scary places. Hell, the one thing I don't do that is a "final girl" thing, is I get cocky around supersition. Mostly, because I am the sort of christian who prefers to lean closer to the "early Christianity ideas".
So, likely, I'd end up either going first because I read a cursedd book out loud in a mocking voice or I'll somehow be the final girl by being so freaking boring that I'd make it out alive.
Or, I'd be the Final Girls buddy who goes first for the emotional points. Either way, I'm pretty fine with it, honestly. Character like that tend to get a certain level of fandom love.
Well, I do see why movie character are the way they are. Don't get me wrong, this joke post is not to rag on usual tropes. I love tropes. It's mostly just because I was thinking about horse girl movies and how I would horribly ruin the premise if I were in a horse girl movie. You know? I am not a fan of horses, nor am I snide and catty enough to try to be a douchebag about jobs and orders.
So, dear reader. How'd you be if you where dropped into a fictional architypical story?
