D.Va "Mini" Series - Overview & Episode 1 Rundown (Patreon)

This is me trying to get back on track with the biweekly text posts. This Sunday's text post is about the latest iteration of the D.Va project.

First teased several months ago as a "side-burner project I will occasionally work on," it has since been overhauled several times, going from a medium-length video of indeterminate length (like the Elizabeth video) to a "mini" series.

Before I go any farther, I want to make one thing absolutely clear: This is NOT a project of love - in fact, it is a piss-take, through-and-through.

When I say it's not a project of love, I mean to say it's not because I like D.Va's character. In fact, it's quite the opposite. This whole project started as a piss-take on how hilariously cringy D.Va's background is (or was, before Blizzard started to retcon it).

For those who aren't aware, allow me to briefly bullet-point D.Va's backstory in Overwatch:

• 19 years old
• World-famous StarCraft e-sports player
• Was given control of a mech because she's a world-famous StarCraft player
• Is now a world-famous celebrity as an Overwatch hero
• Has starred in her own major film
• Is a world-famous web streamer, too

I hope I don't have to explain why I am blatantly making fun of this absurd back-story for a blatant Mary Sue waifu-of-developers insert.

That being said, despite it being a piss-take, I do intend to treat the project itself as seriously as I do my other projects, and give it the best treatment I can in all departments: writing, animating, voice-acting, set-building, lighting, sound designing, and directing.

With all of that out of the way, let's move onto the overview.

Premise of the Series

D.Va, being a world-famous everything, is taking a month off from Overwatching (because reasons) for a North American tour. Very early into the tour, however, she finds herself getting snared into a new mobile game that rewards and promotes casual sex: FuckBuddies Go! Her interest is minimal at first, until she discovers that the game awards loot-boxes that give cosmetic items for her digital avatar.

This series will watch as she spirals from the innocent perfect-at-everything the world knows her to be to a shameless & depraved super-slut, eager to fuck for the slightest chance of unlocking another one of those sweet, sweet loot-boxes.

Now, an astute observer might have observed that there is more going on here than just a piss-take of D.Va's absurd backstory. And that astute observer would be absolutely correct. That is part of what I find so appealing about this project - the fact that I get to use this series as a platform for all sorts of satire (in the classic sense of the word, meaning "criticism through exaggeration"), all while wrapping it up in a genuine project that I hope people will enjoy at a surface level.

Here is a run-down of all the things the project is satirizing:

• D.Va's absurd backstory (obviously)
• Game companies' blatant disregard for their customers (D.Va has to buy keys from Jizzard to unlock the loot-boxes that are awarded for having sex; she is literally a customer paying the game company for the honor of getting fucked)
• Mobile games' transparent attempts to gamify and microtransact every little thing they can think of
• Mobile games that incentivize players to move around in the real world and interact with people and locations
• Lootboxes and their exploitation of addictive tendencies, even at the cost of their customers' dignity as they're unable to resist
• Celebrities and their lavish and often debaucherous lifestyles
• Media and its obsession with marketing both the trivial and the sexual

What Does "Mini" Series Mean?

So, I have a lot of series. Specifically, I have Blue Star, Phazon, Tina, and now this project. But what does the "mini" mean?

Put bluntly, the "mini" means that the series is composed strictly of shorts. As such, Phazon, Tina, and this project are all "mini" series. All of their episodes exist within my Long/Short schedules, on the Short side of things.

Blue Star is the only Long series I have running right now, and for good reason. I don't think I need to explain why it's a good thing everything else is on the Shorts schedule.

Episode 1 Run-Down & Timeframe

So Episode 1 is, by necessity, probably the least interesting of the entire series, and that's mostly because it has to set everything up. Rather than a formal text file, I am just going to bullet-point all of the major beats that Episode 1 will hit. Keep in mind this will all be in a three-to-five-minute episode.

• Establishing D.Va as being on a North American tour and her general celebrity stauts.
• D.Va installs an update on her phone that adds digital avatars to the account, much like the Xbox's digital avatars.
• The 3d holo-projection tech the phone uses for displaying the avatar.
• Her clicking through permission to install a handful of games that are meant to "provide an interactive way to unlock cosmetic items for your avatar," ignoring it downloading games like FuckBuddies Go! as she instead focuses on her digital avatar.
• Accidentally triggering the game while masturbating to porn (via pillow-humping) - the game rewards sex, and that includes masturbation (albeit far less than other sex, as later episodes will demonstrate).
• Demonstrating the awarding and unlocking of lootboxes, and the cosmetic items they reward.
• Her succumbing to the temptation of more loot-boxes, as she slinks into a 90-minute masturbation marathon, racking up points (and lootboxes) and being late to her first public appearance on her tour.

Episode 1 is slated to be produced in August, 2018. I won't give a release date, because we all know how I've been with those historically. But that's the month I am dedicating to its production.

InsideIncognita will be lending her voice to D.Va - she is very eager to try her hand at Korean, which will be used fairly often in the series, mostly when D.Va is talking to herself, and during sex.

Future Episodes Plan

Once Episode 1 is out of the way, the series will begin to quickly escalate. Two of the immediate new mechanics of the mobile game to be introduced are its Bonus Modifiers and Daily Rewards.

In a nutshell, the Bonus Modifiers award more points for things like sex in new locations, sex with strangers ("first-time pairing"), and sex with "app virgins."

The Daily Rewards operate much the same way, but as their name suggests, they change from day to day. These are usually rewards for particular positions or acts, like blowjobs or doggystyle.

When you take D.Va's competitive nature, mix in her quickly-growing addiction to getting as many lootboxes (which are only awarded through playing) as possible, and have those compete against her obligations of traveling and interacting with the public on her tour, the result you get is that she is determined to maximize out both the Modifiers and the Rewards, to get as many points as she feasibly can.

The individual episodes will start out slow and simple, such as with a Reward for blowjobs, where a lucky fan gets to pop a few loads in her mouth (though she doesn't swallow at this point, since that's still icky for her) as she spends an evening giving him head, careful to suck at the perfect loving pace, where the game maximizes the points she gets.

As the days of the tour go by, a few things happen:

• She figures out and becomes comfortable with better ways to optimize her point-gaining, through bringing in more guys and strategically cycling through them.
• The lootboxes require more and more points to acquire, and she responds by spending more and more time working to get them, cutting into her responsibilities as a touring celebrity.
• The Daily Bonuses get more extreme, moving from simple things like blowjobs and doggystyle to more extreme acts like piledrivers and eventually even triple penetration. She moves in step with them, and as such, every bonus guides her farther into depravity.

This escalation sees her go from being awkward about giving a stranger blowjobs to running join-at-will all-night-long gangbangs out of her tour bus; from panicking about being a few minutes late to an event to purposely shooting out a tire as an excuse to spend an entire day fucking without having to go anywhere; from being self-conscious about asking a fan to have sex with her to openly having public sex with fans in the middle of photoshoots; and from spitting because swallowing is icky to chugging a literal soda can filled with spunk and then asking for more.

In this way, the series will be the perfect demonstration of my writing tropes: an attractive young woman consciously and willingly consenting to limitless and shameless sexual depravity and promiscuity. And all wrapped in a sweetly sour wrapper of satire against the addictive nature of lootboxes and Blizzard's dream-feverish writing of D.Va's backstory.

I think the project will be a lot of fun, and I hope people will like it.

As always with these series, the first episode will determine whether or not the project as a whole floats or sinks.

That's all I really have for now. As August comes nearer, I will post a formal screenplay for Episode 1 of the project. Until such time, look forward to some other texts being posted in the coming months!

Thank you for reading all of this! I hope you enjoyed the read!
