Added 2024-01-30 00:06:30 +0000 UTCIs this headpiece working or does my natural hair work better to pull off the fiberglass outfit? Don't worry I will have itchy spots all over my body not just my face in the final costume.
I have a lot of key elements for my next video in my head but I'm missing a hook. An entrance point and premise to draw the viewers in. I know the viewer for some reason keeps visiting the basement where all their old cringey projects are. A pink fiberglass girl greets them and gives them a tour of all things rotting and forgotten. There's one forbidden object that shouldn't be looked at. Here are some of my themes:
-Fiberglass insulation monster girl
-Morgellons disease
-"the matchbox sign"/delusional infestation
-itchiness vs pain
-Basement as a magical universe where forbidden embarrassing items are stored
-Granny Panty cave
-Itchiness as a metaphor for lust
-Old attempts at feminist art projects that are cringe or offensive
-Embarrassment magic as a cure to self-destruction magic
-Old projects "pound"
If I'm missing any interesting poetic or scientific explorations about itchiness please tell me! I've kind of been obsessed with this article about Morgellon disease. It reminds me a lot about my experience with misophonia and the frustration with not being taken seriously. Please don't read if medical things spook you out or if you have a brain that leans towards hypochondria. It's definitely an unsettling but empathetic story.

p.s I'm wearing a waist trainer, that's why my boobs look so Victorian and high up. Trick of the trade muahahahaha!

oof I love this. Embracing the uncomfortable is exactly what I'm going for. I'm gonna look back to this comment to get inspo when writing my script!

2024-01-30 13:42:41 +0000 UTCI like the natural hair, but maybe with some tufts of pink fiber stuck in it? Makes my scalp tingle just to imagine something like that caught in my hair. This whole scenario seems to be about discomfort - physical, emotional, creative - and the inevitability of dealing with it. Willing yourself to get immersed in the irritating itches of your own failure or desire or shame, because you know the only way out is through, and trying to escape the itch is only delaying you living your life. I like the asides, the details (some of these are things I'm unfamiliar with), but it sounds like the attraction - much like the fiberglass nymph - is embracing the uncomfortable.
