An Anatomy : Goth Action Freedom Force
09-18-2012, 06:19 PM
As I write Shegomania, the composition of the all-goth-girl
magical-sentai team slowly emerges from the Pseudo-Gloom. Two of them
are specifically based upon preexisting goth-y characters : Pitchy is a
magical-tech kid very much in
the mold (I will be introducing her
Einheit--device--in some detail next installment.) of Nanoha's, Fate ;
Stygia is the vampire-goth quiet one in the style of the Teen Titan Go's, Raven.
Umbra, the brawny one, may not actually have a goth-ish
analogue. If
anything, I guess I stuffed Sandra Guts, a villainess from the Crassic
(spelling intentional) Dirty pair OVA series, into frilly black lace.
That and I cured her of her bad habit : I really don't want a psychotic
juicer on the team! Dies Irae,
the leader, is still rather foggy beyond
the fact that I want to make her, as her name suggests, to be very
operatic. The final girl, Nocturne Raven, is even less clear. Currently
she exists as a baseline magical goth-girl. Perhaps I will grow her into
the loose-cannon along the lines of Puny Puny Poemy
I will goth-illy entertain suggestions to fill-out my more nebulous gals. Are there any burly-goth gals in Animé? What about operatic ones?

Well, if you're doing goths, you need the most extreme fan example possible: Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way of the infamously bad Potterfic "My Immortal". A very thinly-veiled self-insert (so thinly that sometimes the veil tears and is sloppily repaired), we can just assume her author went Up and assumed her identity...

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.
I think this is even blow the taste of "Joker like" handwavium... lets forget this horrible "fanfiction" please... ^^

HRogge, I don't understand your complaint : are you upset that my protagonists are not truly heroic, or is something else bothering you?

sorry, I should have quoted him.

Wow, Gatecrasher's certainly almost of the type! She's odd enough to belong to the Howard the Duck environment!

perhaps both, just to really play with people's grey matter?

So, any plans to bring Howard the Duck into Fenspace? [grin]
