I don't do AU stories....but I do spin-offs! I've had an idea to bring Derek Flint to Sims 4 but can I find the time to actually do it? @ice-creamforbreakfast @simadelics @javitrulovesims @serenity-cc @surely-sims @swiftviolets

☕ Current state of spy media & its politics

To be honest, I don't check out a lot of current spy media because a lot of it goes down a gritty track ever since 9/11. It has to be pretty unique to get my attention, like being about a non-government organisation with questionable capitalist goals like Black Doves or just really fun while still acknowledging how fucked up espionage is, like Agent Elvis (what Q-Force failed at).

I recently joined a discord of spy fiction writers that have shown me how much variety there is. Especially since a lot of them adore John le Carre while my renewed love in spy fiction has been The Avengers (not the ones you're thinking of).

Because of the hindsight we have about government spy organisations, modern media that portrays them tend to go in two directions. Critical of them through a traumatised protagonist that hates being stuck in that position (what a lot of writers in the discord go for, very Carre vibe) or just uncritical support for the government's bullshit (what my Dad tends to watch).

I'm so thankful I found The Man From C.A.M.P., letting me to a spin-off series that goes outside of those directions and have my own fun because it has always been about a non-government secret organisation helping the LGBTQIA community. It has its issues, but I can deal with them and I take that over portraying someone involved in an organisation known for war crimes. Kinda hard to do spy-fi stuff with that hanging over you.
