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?
