>>1374488Dear Mr Autist: you sadly can't create something entirely in your head. A work of fiction no matter the media must be experienced by others, and thus, you must be aware that things exist within frames (social, cultural, political, artistic, etc.). You may be able to envision, for example, a really mature and fleshed out Sonic story with adult themes and good narrative, but Sonic is a franchise created for specific media, in specific cultural frames, for specific audiences, with an specific aesthetic, and so on. You simply CAN'T extract the franchise or characters from their enviroment; it is ingrained in them, and that is what creates that dissonance.
Classic tales could be horrific because precisely that was their original nature. The fact that a work has children doesn't make it childish nor adult per se, it`s its angle what counts. Some people take "childish" themes or stories and make adult works-precisely the point of those it's the twist: past that, there is little more.
Nowadays, the concept of "child's thing but DARK AND MATURE!" has been done ad nauseam, and the internet is plagued of fucking Sonic or MLP "mature" stories or fanfics or whatever. One BIG problem is that people tend to relate to stuff close to them, e. g., other people. I myself will empathize more with some guy or girl than with a bloody humanoid blue hedgehog that lives in a fantasy world.
The trouble of all people who obsess in making adult stuff of children's media is, many times, an internal division between wanting to grow up and NOT wanting to grow up. If you did it for laughs, like picrel, fine. If not, I'd suggest you grow up.
And it's not a problem of Big Media monopolies this time, au contraire, you have to be fucking autistically specific to want to write a story about little animal creatures with superpowers that transform and are trained and forced to fight. Why not make a story about dog-fights, or boxing, or gladiators?
Thanks for reading my blog, piss off
