So, I have an idea about a story that is messing on the old fantasy cartoon idea of the love spell or potion trope. We have all seen the formula story play out I'm sure. One character is lonely or wants revenge. Uses a spell or potion on a character they desire or something. Other character becomes obsessed and so on. Ends with a moral on what true love and affection is.
I want to really mess with that today. I'm putting this in fantasy because I want the focus to be on the emotional core of the story. And I'm looking to explore what I think is the darkest take on this central idea.
Essentially, to mess with the idea the most, the question I'm looking to explore is what if you are playing a female character who is suffering from trauma, depression and needs escapism, and she finds it in the love potion/spell?
There is the core theme, emotional tension and story I'm looking to explore with our characters. Take that formula for a love spell/potion story. And have her actually find being under the spell better than not. I don't have specific ideas for characters at this time. And its an open question if he does the spell to her. Or she does it to herself. But I'm looking for a partner who will make a pair of characters who will subvert the trope, and explore a deep, dark story about trauma, escapism and which reality is better? The one we're in? Or the one we choose?
