For God's sake, why can't my mind ever just...go to sleep for a while? Just...shhh, brain!
Moar plot bunnies have attacked me. Well, one plot bunny.
Okay, so the one I just thought of? Yeah, it's roots stem from a plot idea for a Jimmy Neutron fanfic I had when I was ten. Yeah. This was waaaay before I knew what real fanfiction was. This was one I wanted to post when I actually went on the message boards on Nick.com.
Hoooly shit, I feel old. And I'm not yet sixteen.
ANYWAY. I really don't have much worked out, obviously. I know little things, though, such as:
- The main character's name is Philippa, goes by Pippa.
- Pippa is black.
- The love interest is named Mercutio. Yes, like the only good character in "Romeo & Juliet."
- He's a magician. He does card tricks and pulls rabbits and doves out of top hats, all that good sparkly stuff.
- He's an actual wizard.
Mercutio is hiding from the other wizards. Why, I haven't figured out yet. But I know that the wizards are divided into three types: sorcerers, warlocks, and magicians. Sorcerers are very powerful and they're sort of in charge of everything. Warlocks are your average wizard. Magicians are wizards who don't take pride in their magic. That's not to say they're ashamed of it or anything, of course, because they looove their powers - it's just that, unlike most wizarding society, they don't think they're better than regular people just because they're magical. They consider themselves humans...with just a little special talent.
Magicians are scattered across the world in plain sight as - you guessed it - performing magicians. Like Criss Angel and all that shit. They do the usual illusions but they're not doing tricks at all - it's real. It's fun for them, they like what they do.
Mercutio is just another magician, but he's specially in hiding. Not sure why, but I know that a sort of...I dunno...prince? Some kind of big important sorcerer has a past with Mercutio. Most likely they were a bit an item, if you will. Pippa and Mercutio are the main couple, but I love Ho Yay so there's some man-lovin' in the past. 8D
I still gotta figure it all out, but I know I want a variant of this one cheesy line I came up with to be in it somewhere: "You want to hear that it's a lie?" he says desperately. "Fine. Okay. It's a lie. The tricks - the wizards - it's all fake, it's all a lie, but the way I feel about you isn't, I can promise you that, Pippa.
LOL CHEESE.
So yeah. I know my brain is going to have a fucking field day with this when I go to bed, so...night.
