ughhh, the Pokémon reference in the opening paragraph?... has just got to go!!! I originally started writing this for my son, hence the kid related analogies, but now I’m just like cringing every time I read it 🤬
I can either 1. keep the kid stuff and make it sort of a scary story for children, kids DO love scary shit and there isn’t much in the genre of “kid horror” lol... but then I’d have to tone down the rest of the story like the vividly disgusting descriptions which I am fond of
2. get rid of the kid stuff and make it scary and gross
orrrrr 3. fuck it and keep it exactly how it is, childish and disturbing
either way, that Pokémon stuff cannot remain in the into paragraph -.-
