Ariel - Dean Friedman (Song)
Ariel (Ariel - Friedman)

Things I Love:
Worldbuilding, settings, adventures, neat ideas, engagement with canon, complication of canon (including making antagonists sympathetic).

My Do Not Wants:
non-canon character death, realistic violence, noncon or dubcon, underage, incest, fatphobia

This song is so odd despite being an extremely straightforward narration. I'd love to know what Ariel thought of this whole incident. How deeply did the singer "fall in love with her"? Was it mutual? Did they end up in a relationship of any length?

This video gives us a glimpse at a moment in a world very similar to ours but different in some interesting ways. What is the figure in the robe doing? What sort of society are the women arriving at at the end of the video? How well does the woman in the leather jacket know the women by the drinks case at the beginning of the video? Does their relationship change during the video?

I'd love to see more of the back story or even future story of one of the Hostess villains. How did they get to the point where their crime plans were being foiled by premade pastries? Did they turn their lives around afterwards or did they level up their criminal game?
One important note for this fandom: Please don't portray fat people as greedy, gluttonous, or fat due to eating. Yes, even if they are portrayed that way in canon. If you would find that difficult, please choose a non-fat Hostess villain to write about. Thank you so much.
Seanbaby's Hostess Page at http://www.seanbaby.com/hostess.htm is a good source for the canon if you don't have a collection of vintage comics to look through.
