Not a full post but just some thoughts I had while studying for my last Vet Med Final for the year. I may make it into a full post later on 👀
You guys know what I like to imagine? How the TFC would feel about the fact that humans now-a-days feel very differently about monsters than they did 100 years ago.
Like don't get me wrong, there were freaks back then too, but now? Every other person you meet seems to be 100% down to get with a monster. Be it traditional "humanoid" ones like vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc. or more "edgy" types like the Alien Queen, Venom, The King in Yellow... etc. Humans are FREAKS, y'all.
Like if your boyfriend took off his hat, and there were horns, you'd realistically be pretty shaken up or surprised at least. I mean- monsters are suddenly real, and you thought he was a human and all. Now if you run or not would be entirely up to who you are as a person and how you react, but there's a good portion of us that, while still on edge, would be very, very interested.
I mean- monsterfucker is a term we use regularly on this site 😭
I'm just imagining MC hanging around the circus and playing a game of smash or pass on a computer when one of the cast walks by and asks what they're doing. MC tells them all casually, "Oh, Smash or Pass. Wanna play?"
Monster of choice watches for a minute before, let's say... Venom appears on screen.
Now, monster is fully expecting MC to say pass. I mean, this is clearly a monster. Tall, muscular, sharp teeth, tendrils, and a parasitic nature? There's no possible-, "Oh absolutely, what kind of question even is that? Everyone wants Venom. I mean- look at those teeth, and that tongue? Smash. On the counter, on the floor, till morning, or better yet we just don't stop-"
Cue a very flustered monster (I feel like even Harlequin would be a hint flustered in this case with how blatant MC is) quickly finding out humans have much different preferences than they did 100 years ago.
