iโ€™m gonna make a movie where two normal ladies fall in love. everythingโ€™s chill, no age gap, theyโ€™re both out of the closet, their families love them, everythingโ€™s fine. the catch is that one lady has a cat and the other lady never figured out what the catโ€™s name was cause the Owner Lesbian ALWAYS uses a dumb nickname and now itโ€™s been three years and theyโ€™re getting married and itโ€™s too late to just ask

Itโ€™s garnering more and more urgency because the catโ€™s importance is growing (the cat is going to be the ring bearer, oh no!)

The First Lady asks her fiancรฉ if they should get a fancy collar with the cats name for the wedding and her fiancรฉ throws her arms around her and says โ€œgreat, would you go do that tomorrow?โ€

the longer i think about it the more that sounds like a valid conflict to base an entire movie around and the fewer problems i could think of that cant have a solid writing solution available

โ€œJust wanted to confirm the spelling before I gave the order, hun. This shit is costly and I only got one form.โ€

โ€œOh, just the normal spelling, no crazy vowels or anything.โ€

This is so good. Plus itโ€™s not like you can try out likely names and see if the cat responds, like a dog might. Itโ€™s a cat. Itโ€™s just gonna sit and squint unblinkingly at you regardless, no matter how many names you try.

Plot twist:

Itโ€™s not a stupid nickname.

The cat really is โ€œmiss kitty.โ€

Y E S

no no no. the cat doesnโ€™t have a name, the cat owner never decided on one so she just goes with various silly nicknames. but since her fiancรฉe acts like she is aware of the catโ€™s name, the cat owner assumes the fiancรฉe mistook one of the nicknames for the actual name. but she doesnโ€™t know which! so the cat owner doesnโ€™t know what the supposed cat name is either, and relies on the fiancรฉe revealing it at some point, but it never comes and sheโ€™s getting agitated too because she doesnโ€™t want to admit she never named her cat

Hey hey hey in a similar vein to ^^^

What if

Neither if then know the name

Because itโ€™s neither of their cat.

The cat decided to move in about the same time one of the girls did. Both think itโ€™s the other oneโ€™s cat. Both are committing these increasingly elaborate shenanigans to figure out the name from the other.

also while iโ€™m ranting about gender i always see debate about whether girls are rewarded for being tomboys or not and itโ€™s like. actually girls are rewarded for mirroring whatever the situation demands of them. girls canโ€™t be too prissy and refuse to play in the creek, but girls also canโ€™t show up to girly events covered in mud. girls canโ€™t have makeup art as a hobby or else theyโ€™re superficial, but if they never wear makeup theyโ€™re a slob and dumpy, etc. itโ€™s not that girls are universally rewarded or punished for being tomboys, theyโ€™re rewarded for bending over backwards to always be exactly right for any given situation and punished for breaking those boundaries. so yes a classically pretty girl who cleans up nice is rewarded when she can ALSO be a tomboy. but a girl who is a tomboy all the time is definitely punished for never being able to achieve that prerequisite feminine side. this debate is over now thanks

You can love sports but you still have to be pretty. You can wear makeup but you can't wear "too much" or look like you're trying too hard.

You can have stereotypically masculine interests but it's a 50/50 shot if people (guys, usually) will think you're not-like-other-girls and cool, or will just fucking hate you for no reason. If you only have feminine interests you're boring.

Why are we putting tomboys and girly girls against each other when the real "crime" is being a girl in any way?

truly the end goal is not "my close friends aren't annoyed by me and it's all in my head, they're my friends and they love me", it's "sometimes I do annoy my close friends, just as the people I love most will also annoy me sometimes, because this is normal, and we will continue to stay friends, and they're not going to want to immediately cut me out of their life if I do something annoying once in a while"
