Awkward Untitled Satirical Fairytale-To-Be

Oct 03, 2011 21:10

So, once upon a time, my sister refered to homosexuality as "gaydom" which connected it to "kingdom" in my amazingly awkward mind. Therefore Awkward Untitled Satirical Fairytale-To-Be. My friend Morgan offered to help turn it into a web-comic. That would be freakin' dope. #justsaying



Once upon a time, in a place just a little too close to home, there was the great and powerful kingdom of Hetero. Hetero was a beautiful kingdom, and a lovely place to live. All the people of the surrounding kingdoms wished they could live in Hetero, with its clean, perfect streets and its window boxes. The Royal Palace in Hetero reached up into the sky, its towers higher than those of any other kingdom in the land, impressing and intimidating all.

The King of Hetero, Norm Attiv had a beautiful wife and two wonderful children, a boy and a girl. His Highness and his family were well loved by their subjects, and their strict rules were always obeyed. But not all about Hetero was good. In Hetero women were less than men, and men had an unquenchable (and irritating) thirst to prove themselves.

Just across the river from Hetero was the equally great and powerful kingdom of Gay. Gay was also a beautiful kingdom, and its neighbors coveted its assets as well. Gay had brightly colored everything, and its people were incredibly friendly and outgoing. In the Royal Gardens of Gay, exotic flowers grew, and every tourist got to pick one. The two Kings of Gay, [name here] and [name here] had a lovely daughter that they had adopted from a single mother struggling in another less fortunate kingdom.

Yeah. It's funny. Don't deny. Anyway...



1. Hetero and Gay are literally right next to each other, and yet have seemingly no idea the other kingdom even exists.

2. There are a traveling people called the Bipsies (bisexual+gypsies) who live in caravans together and cross back and forth over the river.

3. There will be two separate plotlines (or possibly more, if a web-comic develops):

-A gay boy is born in Hetero and is miserable, but doesn't know what's missing. He decides to see the world in order to find what he's looking for, but ends up getting lost and being taken in by the Bipsies who intimidate him and creep him out. He is saved from their promiscuity by the Prince of Gay, who periodically checks up on the Bipsies to make sure they're not enroaching on Gay's territory. Fairytale ending, yay!

-A straight Princess is born in Gay and tries to get with her care-taker (as all care-takers in Gay would be the opposite sex as their wards in order to avoid this very happenstance). Her care-taker, gay and employed by her fathers the Kings as he is, freaks the fuck out and rats on her. She of course is punished, and throws a tantrum and threatens to run away and live with the Bipsies. It continues with her being rude to all the girls her parents try to set her up with, and at each infraction she threatens to join the Bipsies, until finally she actually does. One of the male Bipsies notices how uncomfortable she is when female Bipsies get all up on her, and so he claims her for himself. Fairytale ending with the first ever straight couple to rule in Gay, yay!

4. Don't worry, I will try to make it equally satirical to both parties. For example, Hetero has its two flaws - patriarchy and oneupmanship - and Gay will have its two as well - presumptuousness and snap judgement.

5. I really hope the web-comic bit happens, because I feel like I'll need to have the first gay couple to ever rule Hetero happen too...

So silly, but so awesome. Yeah, I'm a genius.
