woof. to avoid ghosting, i come online now to let you know that i'll be off for, like. two days. as i am out somewhere and have less brainpower than i expected. but i will come back and skim over the plots to give you an answer once my thoughts have returned to me. |

okay, that was much more than two days, but i have returned! so, so sorry for the wait ;; er, we wanted to combine plots, right? i think that mundane iv (the one with a dysfunctional setup for a family learning to be happy) could be fun if put in a more fantastical setting where they still get to found family but with more bullshit going on in the background. maybe that can be set in the world of, like, not-so-mundane i where they're just trying to live and protect each other in a world where it's difficult to be protected? or some aspects of not-so-mundane iv where one or both of the children are connected to something huge that happened (which is possibly how they wound up orphaned and has good implications regarding why they wound up so traumatized) and the new guardian has to protect the children by protecting them or tagging along with whatever investigation has to be done. or something like that. hm. |

i think i like both of those ideas! it could be interesting if the children aren't so fond of their new guardian for whatever reason. maybe they just don't like new people, maybe they don't like the idea of having a stranger in their life |

yeah, that sounds good to me! might combine all three of those concepts and have it be a fucked up hard-to-live-in world with a big mystery centered around these characters and the kids don't particularly like the guardian. they'll probably make aforementioned guardian's life very hard while they go on this adventure together, which is VERY fun. |

oooh... maybe the guardian could be struggling with the loss of their own kid(s)? so it really hits them deep that the children don't like them and they progressively just.. decline and the kids start to realize it |

yeah, that would work!! they're trying so hard to defend the children from this situation but the children don't appreciate it at all. and the guardian thought this would be a situation where they could vicariously live the life they would've had with their kid(s) again with these children, but the fact that they're expressing distaste just makes them break down throughout the adventure until the children notice and start to shift towards liking them again. |

i would imagine at one point in time, the guardian would just break down completely in front of the kids. hysterically crying, and whatnot. and then that's the turning point for the kids, it makes them kinda go, "hey, maybe we should be nicer to them" |

yeah!!! it would be a fun character arc, i think. for both the guardian and the kids. for the guardian to get worse and the kids. you know, maybe they were just so wrapped up in taking care of each other for so long that they kind of got an "us against the world" mentality, and the guardian was the world. so they would realize that maybe they're not the only ones they have to fight for or something along those lines. |
