Does a character's sexual feeling change when confronted with new sexual experiences? Does a vassal remain loyal to a master who is cruel? Does connection on the basis of identity supersede a connection based on loyalty? Is a connection based on sexual feelings as strong as a connection based on loyalty?
interactions between courage and shame (via honesty and vulnerability) What does it mean to be courageous? Is it more brave to divulge or to conceal? Is there an action that can force even a 'shameless' person to feel shame? When is shame being weaponized appropriate? When is courage the wrong response?
interactions between carefully-laid plans and chaos (via shock.): How do characters react to a sudden shock of the system? How does the world react to sudden, even violent, chaos?
interactions between the sacred, secular, and status: the confluence of divinity, social standing, and exploitation.
interactions between the disgusting honesty and the sterilized lie: a neat and tidy lie versus a messy and squalid truth. I like to stain, moisten, spatter the lie, and dissect, illuminate, understand the truth.
interactions between fantasy realpolitik and rigid social codes.
interactions between the monstrous Self and the monstrous Other: focusing on recognition, synergy, moving between Self and Other.
