Recess Fanfiction
So Ive recently been starting to write out fantasy fanfiction scenarios of things happening and characters reacting to stuff a lot as a therapy thing, but last night I dreamed about a fanfiction idea of the old cartoon Recess that used to play when I was a kid
Its just a show about a group of kids in 4rth grade and the hijinks they get up to, but i always remembered that it was really good at showing off healthy behaviors and friendships and family dynamics so my dream was about what if 4th grade me was character in the show and how would the characters in the show react to and be friends with me and wondered if I should write about that
It would essentially be sticking me as an OC into the Recess world and writing a story about how TJ and friends deal with a kid they know who is being abused so a very, odd, setting and story, I dont even know how I would write that and searching on AO3 to see if Recess is even a thing on there just showed a bunch of like, the ‘characters are older and im shipping them now” stories so
It almost doesnt fit the tone of the setting and the show but at the same time it kinda does?? Itd literally just be like, those episodes on old cartoons where they get introduced to a character for a single episode and it teaches them The Lesson but like how do you do that with a character experiencing ongoing abuse? the episode would just drag on forever and not have a resolution
But anyway the dream itself was more just about TJ and his mom, not even really about me, but just about TJ asking him mom questions about it and trying to understand what happened and why this other kid is like the way she is and the Mom trying to parent TJ and blah blah just vague stuff like that
Maybe I was projecting onto the role of both TJ and his Mom and trying to parent my inner child, maybe something like that
Maybe its a good sign I’m starting to work some stuff out??
