# FC Home-con: Plot structure
|
|
|
|
## Outline
|
|
|
|
1. Goal/agenda (heist plot)
|
|
* Dave --- Hyena
|
|
* Swish LGBT streamer
|
|
* Swish partner (goal)
|
|
* Jared --- Stoat (based on the vibes)
|
|
* Large software firm, middle manager
|
|
* Swish employee
|
|
2. Meet cute
|
|
* Meet at SwishCon
|
|
* Dave gives a pitch and it falls flat --- Gets swamped by TERFs and it crashes, Dave says fuck TERFs every time
|
|
* Dave wants a 'yeet TERFs' button for LGBT streams.
|
|
3. No way #1
|
|
* Jared: No way this is going to work out, Dave is too much of a dreamer and doesn't know how this works
|
|
* Dave: Jared's too uppity, professional, doesn't care about kicking TERFs, Dave's ex is super critical of Jared
|
|
4. Stuck together
|
|
* Fire alarm, they get stuck standing next to each other in a roped off area
|
|
* They distract themselves about "building is on fire, gonna lose my laptop", so Jared explains the limitations, Dave feels better
|
|
5. No way #2
|
|
* Dave: It'd be cool to have Jared help, buuut he has strong morals that prevent him from saying yes
|
|
* Jared: Conflict of interest: relationship with streamer would keep him from promotion --- company has performative allyship and going with this would cost it, too
|
|
6. Bone town
|
|
* They're on a panel together and think "oh jeez, this person is really cool, maaaybe..."
|
|
* They exchange contact info, thinking maybe it could work
|
|
7. Seeds of Doubt:
|
|
1. Wallow #1
|
|
* Dave: There's *always* a power differential and I get screwed, of course it'll happen here
|
|
* Jared: Dave has all these people warning him (re: ex) so blahhhh
|
|
2. Retreat
|
|
* Jared: feels put on the spot by Dave's presentation, job on the line
|
|
* Dave: Too vulnerable because the yeet TERFs button didn't work, so he feels maybe this is a systemic thing and will never work
|
|
3. Choose fear
|
|
* Dave: gets swamped by TERFs in his next stream, thinks fuck it, not going to even try
|
|
* Jared: No sale on stream swamping, so Swish laughs it off, Jared feels like can't even engage with Dave so fuck it
|
|
4. Wallow #2
|
|
* Jared: so lonely, going to work myself to death and shut myself off from everyone
|
|
* Dave: going to quit Swish because this always happens and isn't worth fighting, he's reevaluating LGBT relationships and he doesn't have a voice to speak to them despite wanting to
|
|
8. Choose love
|
|
* Swish does something terrible so Jared decides (but not yet) quits
|
|
* Dave: Gets a ton of messages saying "you changed my life for the better, you *do* have a voice"
|
|
* We're going to get in touch with each other and do a thing
|
|
9. Plan! Risk!
|
|
* Dave: put together business plan for new streaming company called Jared.io with boggle and yeet TERFs buttons
|
|
* Jared: Going to quit and start my own company with boggle and yeet TERFs buttons
|
|
10. Grand gesture --- ends with YES
|
|
* Jared: quits and pitches streaming company called Dave.io to Dave over IMs asking him to be LGBTQ rep
|
|
* Dave: sees Jared messaging and pitches company
|
|
* Their messages collide and they see their business plans together
|
|
11. Payoff
|
|
* Wow! Lets do that! And also smooch!
|
|
* They sit beside each other on the couch with their MacBooks and build the platform WHILE cuddling
|
|
12. Epilogue/hope
|
|
* dj-stream.io launches and goes BIG
|
|
* There's also a pillow fight?
|
