I like rambling on and on with a bunch of ellipses and parenthesis ..
I saw the picture and "poodle" immediately came to mind, and I wanted to work that in somewhere, along with a bit of bimbo thought, and I went into "ramble time" where just a stream of consciousness was the mode of transportation to deliver the plot. Yes, it's an exposition dump, but I like to think it's a fun one.
The main plot point issue was how to get them all mixed together, and honestly, "ray gun" was the easiest answer; and since I tend not to use them, it was a blast (pun intended) to use the scattershot device to bring the scattershot brain into being.
After that, the hardest task was how to end it, as it literally was just a bimbo rambling a villain monologue revealing her origin story overall .. and as I pondered, my brain went to dogs like fire hydrants and sluts tend to like men in uniform, so .. I've got my disjointed yet apropos zinger, all wrapped up in a semi-coherent Far Side type ending.
And when I named it as a saved file, I put a therapist in there, since with a degree on the wall, 'she' was giving background to her new behavioral counselor. But it's not quite needed, so now you know a bit of backstory that isn't necessary at all to understand the plot at all. Also, if I hadn't had the poodle thought, I'd most likely have come back to the image and have the model be a .. bimbo therapist, giving wise council to husbands whose wives had sent them there to be "re-adjusted" if you can read between the lines.
Hope you enjoyed this bit of fluff .. HA! .. and let me know what you think!
Did you hear the news? Saw it on TV
Now ray guns are not only just the future.
What are we to do? Where are we to go?
With all the planets spinning fast around us.
Will someone come and save my life?
I'm caught under the weight of all this doggone life.
I want a pretty little life.
What a fun zinger indeed. Ray-guns that act with fluffy sprinkle of magic, who'd have thought. Only from the mind of Dee of course. I think she should take a trip down to the firehouse, just hope no emrencies crop up.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it. I thought having a ray gun was a neat way of doing a transformation that wasn't the usual, plus having it be not as focused made the story even better. Yes, I bet she'll head to the firehouse AND maybe even buy one of those dalmation fur coats!
DeleteWow Dee. I usually enjoy reading your captions but this one was hard to read because I was staring so hard at the image. The protagonist, the wife, the ex and the poodle all inside that body? It looks like a poodle wrapped around a goddess. Once I finally broke away from the image and read the caption, I was hooked. This is a fun one and feels both different and totally Dee at the same time. I think I want to be her and chase a few firemen into the firehouse so I could slide down their poles.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of the immortal fake Nicolas Cage, "High praise indeed!"
DeleteYes, it's quite different from my usual work, but still is very much "Dee". It can be fun to try to get into the bimbo mindset and just let it rip. I am glad that it has inspired you to be your most poodle bimbo self!
