As I walked out of my classroom a teacher held me back and said that I needed to stay.
I was falling behind in school so I was forced to stay in an extra class and do a book assignment. Just read the book, answer some questions, and write a short one page essay.
Nothing special right?
So the teacher tells us to get our books from under the desk as she puts on what I assumed was an audio recording of the book. I reach down to grab my workbook and looked up at the projector screen and saw that it was Johnny the homicidal maniac. Wtf?!
But yeah I was a really good fan animation that the teacher put onscreen. I thought to warn her about the gore but then I was like "Nah, it'll be fine". Afterall it was in our workbook too so I guess it was already approved for the classroom. So as the video played we were supposed to follow along in our books but as usual everyone did more or less what they wanted to. Most complained about the voice acting or the "ugly" artstyle (I personally like it). The teacher didn't stop us and we were even allowed to walk around the room (as long as it wasn't in front of the screen). This helped me, as I concentrate better while standing. The questions were easy (especially if you read the series before) and soon I was finished and wandering around the room absentmindedly.
I came across this guy who was struggling and I asked him if he needed any help. "You've read this before?" He asks and I answered "yeah". He was grateful for my help. Then this girl who had overheard us came to join. She said it was cool that I read it. And I said "Yeah I starting reading it in middle school" and she says "Cool I had a friend in middle school who loved those books. She was really into goth stuff". I don't know who suggested it but someone said "what if there was a musical of it?". I replied "Only if it's of the same vein as Repo: The Genetic Opera". It would look pretty cool in that style. The three of us finished our assignments together and we get to talking about other stuff and next thing you know I had two new friends.
Dream made me happy because it's not often I meet someone who knows of any more obscure stuff or is into alternative styles. Or even likes those things if they know them. Last time I saw a goth in person was elementary school and the last time I knew any emos or scene people was middle school and even then they were rare (especially where I'm from). Most just picked on you for liking it. Funny how now everyone has a goth girl fetish or wants to make scenekid tiktocs when during my childhood you got bullied for that.
