Oblique Strategies

Be extravagant: This strategy prompted the portrayal of emotions in an elaborate and vivid manner, showcasing the characters' intense feelings towards each other. It fueled the grandeur of affection that Benjamin held for Amelia, expressed in grand gestures and emotionally charged confessions.

Towards the insignificant: This strategy influenced the incorporation of subtle nuances and seemingly trivial moments that held immense emotional weight. It emphasised the significance of small details in the characters' interactions, like stolen glances, fleeting touches, or shared smiles that were seemingly insignificant but carried profound meaning.

Only a part, not the whole: This strategy guided the narrative to reveal glimpses of the characters' emotions and interactions rather than fully elucidating their complexities. It allowed the story to focus on specific moments of their lives, showcasing snippets of their relationships without providing a comprehensive overview, leaving room for interpretation.

Question the heroic approach: This strategy challenged the traditional notions of love stories where a heroic protagonist wins the heart of their love interest. It drove the narrative towards ambiguity and complexity, with multiple characters experiencing unrequited feelings and the absence of a straightforward resolution, subverting the typical heroic love narrative.

Simply a matter of work: This strategy pushed for a pragmatic portrayal of emotions and relationships, emphasising the effort required to navigate complex emotions. It guided the story to depict the characters' emotional journeys realistically, showcasing the challenges they faced in expressing their feelings and the effort put into understanding their own emotions.

Char NG

The Char NG output seemed to influence the emotional landscape of the characters in the love triangle. It lent an air of poetic melancholy to the narrative, echoing the bittersweet emotions experienced by the characters. The phrases like "true mine eyes," "lovely ever-goes canopy," and "forget me of youth" underscored the fleeting nature of youth and love, resonating with Benjamin's internal conflict about losing Amelia. The lines "heaven fine eye" and "kiss truly night gravate it of truth" hinted at the celestial beauty and deep longing felt by the characters, mirroring the profound affection between Benjamin and Amelia. The sombre tone of "sweary woe" and "joy decrepitaph to my love" captured the emotional turmoil of unrequited love felt by Celia, adding a layer of tragic depth to her character. Overall, the Char NG output infused the narrative with poignant emotions and a sense of longing, complementing the intricate dynamics of the love triangle.

Anagram Generator

In crafting the story, I used the anagram "Elevator Ling" as a subtle influence on Cassandra's character. It symbolised the silent rise of her unspoken affection for Amelia, much like an elevator ascends discreetly. Throughout the tale, this motif mirrored Cassandra's hidden emotions, elevating her unvoiced admiration for Amelia, adding depth to her character's journey.

N+7

In developing the story, the N+7 response "In the hallmarks of Glenwood High Schoolboy, where launch echoed against lockets and friezes bloomed like springboard flowerbeds..." served as a playful tool to reimagine the original text with whimsical substitutions. This altered version influenced the tone and added an element of surrealism, guiding the narrative with unexpected word choices that brought a unique cadence and added layers of interpretation to the characters' emotions and interactions. The resulting tale retained the essence of the original story but with a playful, abstract twist.
