Ive shed enough shame to make a request, mainly bc I wanna see how others would handle my oc idea because I'm pulling blanks
So maybehaps Jack Horner/Reader who's pretty much adult Mary from "mary had a little lamb" but ofc the little lamb grew up into a very aggressive, very-protective-of-her-sheep plus also she's the polar opposite of Jack.
i am so proud of you for overcoming your shame shackles and joining us on the fun side of the beach 😉💖💖💖
oh this is so cute, what a lovely concept!! i have some ideas which you are more than welcome to steal 😉
so...what if the reason Mary and Jack meet, is because Jack is looking to find a way to instil unwavering loyalty in his subordinates? perhaps he's had a few runners/deserters from his factory in recent months, but he has long heard of a certain Mary with a little lamb who follows her around wherever she goes? i could see Jack wanting to understand that power for his own gain, if at all possible 👀
of course, given the nursery rhyme Jack is expecting to find a sweet pushover who will tremble in fear before him. but that's not who he encounters. the moment he steps onto her farm Mary has him meeting the business end of a pair of shears;;; she's so furious that it takes quite some time for Jack to figure out what's happened: it turns out, local wolves have been picking off some of her flock, and she has been desperately defending her remaining sheep, alone.
i could see an exchange of sorts - where Jack offers protection for her and her sheep (no one messes with Jack Horner, after all), provided she tell him how she gets her lambs to follow her every command. soft/romantic hijinks can ensue if you choose, because imagine trying to explain to Jack that it's love and patience which are the key ingredients 😂💖
i play piano so i’d like to take this time to document the songs i can play fully (in the order of learning them), and rating them based on how hard they were to learn:
•mary had a little lamb, 0/10, literally not hard to play at all
•final duet (from Omori), 7.5/10, it wasn’t horrible, but there were parts that were absolutely horrible to learn
•good ending title theme (also known as “do you remember”) (from Omori), 4.5/10, not hard at all, most of the plot of Omori could have been avoided if they just learned this version instead. it’s cool how i can line it up to Remembrance though
•main title theme (from Omori), 1/10, this was so easy i’m not even kidding
•der flohwalzer, 0/10, learned it to make a danganronpa joke, but it was so easy, i learned it in about 10 minutes
•BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA, 15/10, will wood, i love your music so much, but holy hell this about gave my brainrot trying to learn this. this song is roughly 5 minutes, it took me months to learn, AND YOU HAVE TO SING TO IT. singing to this song while playing it is like spewing buzzwords rapid fire while trying to slam your fists into your keyboard in a coherent way, AND THEN having to deliver that 5 paragraph essay of a monologue in the middle of the song, which I CANT EVEN DELIVER. I HAD TO SWITCH TO THE BLACKBOXWARRANT VERSION OF THE MONOLOGUE SO I COULD ACTUALLY FORM A SENTENCE. anyways, my favorite piano song i’ve ever learned, i love it so much
•Skeleton Appreciation Day in Vestal, N.Y. (Bones), 10/10, so complicated, i almost wanted to rip my bones out by the time i got to the ana stands and rends her rancid meat part. AAAAAAAAA
anyways, thank you, i really wanna learn White Knuckle Jerk next, because it’s my favorite will wood song (YEAH I SAID IT, FIGHT ME), thank you for your time
