i want the readers to sympathize with rich kid at the beginning, and the morals of everyone to seem really clear (rich kid’s the protagonist, sylvia’s the antagonist), but by about halfway through the story, everyone’s really morally ambiguous and people have legitimate reasons for still liking rich kid and disliking sylvia, but people also have legitimate reasons for liking sylvia and disliking rich kid.
i need to actually develop rich kid as a character and figure out how to work their adventures into the plot tbh IMSOHHAPPY DONT HURT YOURSELF CHAT DISTRACT YOURSELF BY WRITING A FANTASY STORY WITH MAGIC AND CRIME AND HOT LESBIANS AND GOVERNMENTS BEING OVERTHROWN INSTEAD

everyone thinks magic is something youre born with, but its actually something youre taught and it being something youre born with is a well-executed lie by the upper class so good that it even convinced themselves
uh. forests and mountains and stuff this place is colorado but magic real not clickbait
upper class is american high upper class + low upper class, while “lower class” really spans from like. american high middle class all the way down to american low lower class
I NEED TO NAME THINGS AAAAAAAAAAAA
