because Janet and Dodger are both my own muses and they're a TOUGH SELL for RP, I've been toying with the idea of writing a novel about their relationship from Janet's POV and selling it as like, a romantic thriller.
the main thing that's been holding me back is that it would be a ROUGH read, since uh. dodger is not a booktok male lead, he's just a straight up abusive jackass and i wouldn't feel right writing it if i shied away from the effect that has on someone living with him for 4 years
i also don't have time to be working on a book rn anyway, between DWRP and my comic, but i still think heavily about buckling down and doing it during the next comic hiatus or something.
(also i haven't gotten many chances to play Janet but i DO think playing her somewhere would make me more confident with her voice, which is its own issue)
(but I don't draw her very often because I don't draw in GENERAL very often, so I don't have many icons to work with unless I do the same "draw as needed" thing i've been doing for Dodger for 8 years)
....tbh one of these days I might throw Janet up on a bakerstreet meme or something just because I'm not confident enough to put her in a game, even if I had time. but she deserves love.
i think people are also a lot more okay, generally, with dicey content where the victim in question is a man? for very upsetting cultural reasons (but thankfully i've stopped seeing male sexual assault played as a joke in movies so THATS GOOD AT LEAST)
but yeeee i think it would be a good outlet for all the Feelings i have about Janet because like, she's a weaker muse than Dodger but Dodger IS a newer character who was originally just connective tissue for Janet's backstory. I just happen to be very skilled at playing manipulative jackasses for reasons I should unpack in therapy.
on another, fandom has really gotten shittier about "problematic" content in recent years
i think u should give it a go at least though!!
