I was mostly poking fun about the coincidental good looks of most of your chosen models. ;)<br /><br />But this does segue rather nicely into another point I'd like to catch your thoughts on. <br /><br />Chiefly the way the pubescence and senescence serve as mirrors of one another. The first marks a transition from childhood, the awakening of sexuality. The second is the reversal of the first as libido diminishes and sexual characteristics recede. <br /><br />I think this is interesting given the way you depict Brianna as vein and arrogant about her looks and the status she feels should be conveyed to her due to her body.<br /><br />Like you said, this is empowerement fantasy, in order for it to remain so while being temporary that implies that the girls are going to transform their physical development into emotional development when they turn back.<br /><br />I imagine most of them will do so with some varying degrees of grace. You seem to be setting up Miranda beautifully to accept that her carelesness is going to cut her fun short for instance.<br /><br />But I can't help but imagine Bri is the exception to the rule who will have to learn her lesson the hard(er) way. Bratty kids usually do need to face unpleasant consequences to finally learn and sympathize with others.<br /><br />Else she'll grow into the same sort of wretched person she is right now.

Yes, most kids grow to be extremely beautiful, but so they do in all these stories.<br /><br />It's not a coincidence, but the reason is another, and very simple. I'm into this genre because to me it's an empowering fantasy. And I personally find it more empowering if the subject becomes really beautiful instead of an average person.<br /><br />You'll find that most of the decisions in these genres have less to do with good, credible literature and more with the author's fantasy style. So, yeah, I make stories about beautiful people because I'm superficial that way. I do spend a lot of time at the hair salon, after all.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ;)The Planet of the APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00033283755173425867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776443105995961774.post-32520804499042117152016-09-19T17:54:42.220-07:002016-09-19T17:54:42.220-07:00Harpy - I've gotta agree with the first poster...Harpy - I've gotta agree with the first poster that Buxamize is really a little too much for no real gain to the story.<br /><br />First because it's another unicorn in the garden when the story is already focused front and center on the existence and consequences of an age doubling syrum.<br /><br />But also, if the goal was for Brianna to receive a curvacously oversexed body it could simply be explained away as a side effect. The syrum reacts to everybody a little differently and may not even perfectly represent who they will grow into.<br /><br />(My assumption is that double up generally ages the person into their most idealic potential adult form. Cause way too many of these kids are just coincidentally growing into models. :P) <br /><br />I find Planet of the AP's comment that Brianna represents a woman ruining her own looks in a bid to enhance them to be sort of compelling but I think it could also be handled as an extended metaphor given the 'temporary' tag assigned to these stories.<br /><br />Most people who ruin their looks with plastic surgery do so to try and preserve them against the ravages of time. <br /><br />And that's just the thing. An elderly person and a child are both, for the most part, 'sexless' beings in our culture. And in extreme cases senility can be likened to a sort of mental regression. <br /><br />The kid's using double up are in a unique position since they'll lose their new forms traveling backwards in time when the syrum wears off.<br /><br />You could argue that this is only temporary. That they'll grow back into themselves. But I don't think that would matter to a brat like Brianna. <br /><br />The thought of not getting what she wants for even one minute would be totally intolerable.Triggerhappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01346706904308315538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776443105995961774.post-6982623196240635982015-08-07T17:00:34.248-07:002015-08-07T17:00:34.248-07:00Well, I welcome your opinion on this and you certa...Well, I welcome your opinion on this and you certainly are right about a few things. But there's more of a story point to this and it would be telling too much to say what it is right now.<br /><br />By the way, like the ideas for those other serums.

It sort of defeats the original educational purpose to help children prepare for their adulthoods.<br /><br />The original age up was great though. She should have been happy with the body type she got, knowing there would have been someone for her, and she wouldn't stay thin forever anyway. trustmeimadrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776443105995961774.post-14135751706853331862015-07-27T19:24:51.220-07:002015-07-27T19:24:51.220-07:00That's part if the idea.
