Remembering my killershoggi roots. Wait killershoggi was before I even made a theatre blog... yall don't even know about my weird robots...
Original source material: We Will Rock You, a jukebox musical featuring Queen music. It's not that good
What I experienced: a very very queer and bizarre community theatre production of this musical, where we kind of fucked around and didn't really follow the original intent of the script. As a result, the villians were WAY more interesting than the protags.
What happened: we all came up with extremely elaborate worldbuilding and lore backstage. 4 of us got really into the romance between Kashoggi and Killer Queen (which doesn't exist in the original script at all, and mostly existed in ours because those actors were/are dating and liked to flirt onstage).
So the killershoggi ship evolved and evolved, more lore was added, dynamics and backstory were elaborated upon, etc, until they were basically communal ocs. Even after the show ended, the killershoggi fan club (as we call ourselves) continued to talk about them. I made merch at one point. One of the other members made an INCREDIBLE playlist. Fanfics were started (I PROMISE I WILL FINISH ONE EVENTUALLY).
It's been a year since the show closed, and I am falling back into my killershoggi ways, and I KNOW some of yall would love them but it's not like there's really any source material that would let you understand them. You get my problem?
Anyways if anyone wants me to make a very very long post explaining killershoggi lmk. If you want to see the depths of my soul
