This is Childe, and that is Childeās boyfriend Zhongli, and that is Zhongliās husband Venti, and that is Ventiās boyfriend Diluc, and that is Dilucās mortal enemy Childe.
Right, I forgot, ALSO: when Fyodor frames the Agency as terrorists by putting them into a universe where theyāre all evil, this is a reference to how many of the Agency authors practiced Naturalism: the literary movement that Mori hated that claimed to write ālife as reality shows itā, but instead many Naturalist authors used this excuse to glorify the sexualization of incest, rape, and abuse (Junichiro Tanizaki is the most famous for giving Naturalism this horrific reputation, as not only did he write about the first and last of these three, he abused his IRL wives and was known to date much younger women. Does the teenager incest in the show make sense now?).
Meanwhile, the Mafia authors practiced Romanticism, the movement that existed prior to Naturalism in Japan and was focused on creating stories that made a reader FEEL something, regardless of how true-to-life it was. A lot of them (Mori and Akutagawa especially) pushed back against this new wave in their own writing. By swapping their roles like this, Fyodor therefore sets to put the world back to how it played out in real life: Naturalism wasnāt seen by Japan as courageous underdogs, but an uncontrollable corruption of their pre-existing literary standards. However, through the metaphor of BSD, this course of action is portrayed as evil and villainous, taking anyone who wishes to convey IRL history as it happened and framing them as an evil monster bent on censoring authorsā right to creative expression.

What if we made the opposite of Wes? Like, someone who lives in Amity Park but absolutely does not believe in ghosts
This is an amazing idea and if someone finds a good background character to fill this spot I will literally dedicate an entire Ectoberweek fic to them.
