Hello,
I'm happy to show the prologue my new Doujin project "I'm the Female Lead of a Romance Story but I ship the Male Lead x (second) Male Lead together instead"! [project name isekai uriel]

This will be my side project to hero x dkos, so ill just work on it every now and then when I feel like it. I do hope its page numbers stay a reasonable number but if I believe in it enough it'll surely stay under 50 pages right :')

Here you can check my initial notes for the AU!

Next Update on hero x dkos is also coming.... some time soon, probably haha

Helen who doesn't know if she left willingly or not.

Helen who can clearly remember and explain why she decided to leave, who can recall every single emotion she felt and every step of her thought process leading to her leaving.

Helen who looking back feels like she never should have felt attracted to Paris this strongly feels like she never felt anything this intense ever in her life except for her later hatred for him as well.

Helen who knows she was unhappy with her life, like it was lacking something crucial she was hoping to find with Paris.

Helen who knows how much she loves her husband and home and knows whatever else she felt should not have been stronger then this love.

Helen who really genuinely cannot understand if this decision was hers. Helen who after thinking about this for seventeen years takes the blame fully on herself nonetheless because she is sick of not having any agency and cannot bare the thought that the decision that doomed her life wasn't hers to make. Who takes the full responsibility of the war because that makes her feel like at least she was in control.

Because the idea of not having this control feels worse.

Standard sword and sorcery fantasy film periodically interrupted by cutaways to an in-universe historian from a notional period hundreds of years after the depicted events explaining the film's various historical inaccuracies. There's a recurring tangent about how the film's protagonist is a conflation of three different guys, all of them much weirder than the end product of that conflation.

At one point the historian remarks that the film's principal villain probably never existed, but you can tell from their thousand-yard stare that there's some Poe's Orangutan level discourse about that topic.

Honestly would love to see a King Arthur movie with this framework.

Still thinking about this.

Except now I’m envisioning:

Standard King Arthur movie with the usual ‘back in the 6th century…’ establishing blub, which looks a little odd because it started with a specific year, which was crossed off and replaced by another, which was also crossed off and replaced by ‘~6th century, give or take’ along with a few other editorial addendums.

Opens with Uther and Merlin discussing the siege of Tintagel. Things go smoothly until Uther’s name is used, cue the first interruption to explain that Uther was probably an ‘invention’ of Geoffrey of Monmouth, but then that academic is interrupted by a Geoffrey apologist (possibly yours truly) to defend his work with a complicated spiel that gets interrupted by the actor who plays Merlin insisting ‘we should get back to the story’

What follows slowly unravels into a poorly disguised academic debate mediated by the Merlin actor as the voice of ‘well I was actually There!’ And it slowly becomes clear that not only does he genuinely believe he’s Merlin, but his version of the story is absolutely the most unhinged and least academically supported version and relies largely on the French Romances for some reason*.

*the reason being that this is an accurate representation of many fans, who hold the Romance era as the ‘Cannon’ for King Arthur even knowing it is not the ‘Historical’ or even ‘Original’ narrative.
