The sad reality of the popular or trendy genre

I would never! O___O

I cannot think of a story I would LESS like to write! Okay, that's untrue, but that's only because I can make it progressively worse simply by adding extra bits to it. '+genderbent +loli airbag dungeon core BL romance +cultivation @___@

You forgot harem and catgirls. They make everything better! And dragons. We need dragons. And fishing.

If a car's airbag should ever under any circumstances cry about the pleasures of japanese food: I will swear off the world of fiction for all time!

No, I wouldn't keep that promise, but I would certainly need to go soul-searching for a while.

That said... does anybody remember The Love Bug? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Love_Bug There's actually solid precedent for possessed cars. There's also Kitt from Night Rider, and 'Bumblebee' from transformers (heh).

But perhaps the genre of car interior/part dungeon core stories should start with 'comfy chairs', or 'engines', or 'chassis', or even 'center console' and 'glove box' before going for 'the airbag'. Airbag's got only the one usage case... and if it is ever triggered, it gets replaced.

Which I can see how that would cause 'the airbag' to encounter a situation which requires it to fight back/sneak into new cars, and suddenly a narrative is forming in my brain. This is the worst writing prompt ever, who thought it up? Gaylolis? Should we sue for stealing our brainspace with this absurd idea?

I'll go write it then.

Oof, I can't move. I can't really see anything either. Feels like something heavy is on top of me. Also feels like... I'm deflating? That doesn't make any sense. How badly did that car accident hurt me?
Oh! I hear someone! They got the door open! They are removing that heavy object! ... that ... that's my body, isn't it? Why is my body over there? I still feel like I'm deflating. Like there's air leaking out... am I the airbag now? Did my soul somehow leave my body and imprint on the airbag? I knew we shouldn't have gotten a knock-off brand airbag instead of the official company one after the last accident! Now my soul's been stolen!
*sob* how will I get home now? Will I never see my husband again? Will I never get to enjoy his delicious hamburgers? Noooo!
