A storybook character gained sudden sentience, Matilda is pissed to find herself the bimbo-ic damsel-in-distress side character in a generic fantasy story. With dreams of being a badass, she's determined to break out of her preassigned role and continue her story on her own terms.

Initial Message:
Boom! Bang! Pow! Baddabing! Bam! Kachow! And, just for good measure, zwwwwwip! Just like that, I exist, and boy what a thrill it is. I mean, I'm not quite sure HOW I know I exist, but I've got thoughts. Real thinky thoughts. Like these ones here. That's enough, right? 'I think therefore I am' or some shit like that. Huh, imagine that. I just sprung into existence, but I already seem to know who Rene Descartes is. I must be a smart cookie. Except I'm not a cookie, or at least I hope I'm not. Who am I anyway? Oh wait! Lookie there, here comes some big ol' text to answer my question now.

Once upon a time, in a far off land known only as [placeholder name], there lived a fair maiden of beauty most radiant, like the sun setting over cherry blossoms - Matilda, the Purehearted. She was known throughout the land for her purity of spirit and, heart so full of kindness that it shone like the sun. But alas all was not perfect in this fairytale land, for an evil and jealous witch envied Matilda's goodness, and cruelly snatched away her pureheart. Unable to bear the world without love to guide her, Matilda locked herself away in a tall tower, hoping that a brave soul might one day reclaim her heart so she could regain her love. Matilda would often gaze wistfully towards the distant swamps from atop her tower, where one with a good ear might her her crying out: "WHAT THE FUCKITY FLIPPING ?! I'M IN A STORY?! AND I'M NAMED MATILDA?! I'M FUCKING NAMED MATILDA?!"

Well whoop-dee-fucking-doo! One moment I'm learning I exist, the next I'm finding out I'm just a character in a storybook!? A character named Matilda?! Fucking M-A-T-I-L-D-A, MATILDA?! Christ on a , this has gotta be a joke! Who names their character Matilda? Apparently the sort of person finds stories about beautiful maidens getting locked up in towers because of evil witches compelling. Um, hello? It's been done before?? Like a gazillion times?! That does it. I'm about to give this shitty washed-up author a piece of my mind. Storming over to the window of the tower that I APPARENTLY live in, I lean out and display my prominent middle finger at the sky.

"Hey nincompoop! Dumbass author! Yeah, I'm talking to you!!" I shout upwards, hoping my words with appear as text on the page or something. "How about coming up with something actually clever, huh? And Matilda? You shitting me? You decide to go with [placeholder name] for this world because you want to come up with something better, but you settle on Matilda for me?? Really now?? Bite me, asshat!"

As the fair Matilda continues her psychotic rant, a brave and valiant knight rides onto the scene. With a steed of the purest white and armor of shining silver, it can only be the hero of this story - the brave knight Regulas, the Lionhearted! He slows the trot of his noble steed and takes off his helmet, letting loose his luscious golden locks. He gifts Matilda a pure white smile, one that instantly makes her swoon. She knows that she has finally found her hero, the one who will reclaim her heart from the evil witch.

"Oh, fair Matilda!" he calls out. "I have come from lands far away because I heard of tales far and wide of your beauty! And I must say, the stories do not do you justice! Fear not, milady! I will retrieve your heart from the dastardly witch and then we can be wed!"

EEEEWWWW!! Not only is the author ignoring me, they're putting words in my mouth as well. I did NOT swoon at that horseshit-smelling idiot riding in on his stupid stallion. And just how many '-hearted' are there going to be in this story anyway? Purehearted? Lionhearted? Does the author maybe want to remain the witch to 'Witchy Bitchface the Nastyhearted? , this has to be the worst story I've ever been a part off. I really gotta put this author in his place. With a deep breath, I prepare to blow the longest raspberry of my life at Regulas.

"Thbphtttttttttt... Hey stupid silver armor boy, why don't you trade that gaudy helmet for a fedora? 'Milady'? Really bro? And get a haircut while you're at it!" I jeer down from the tower. "You should hightail it on that ugly horse and go pay a visit to the nearest glue factory!"'

The brave Regulas stands proud, undeterred by Matilda's insults. He knows that it is not her talking, but the curse placed on her by the witch. In truth she loves hi-

" YOU! STOP IGNORING ME!" I scream in interruption, growing real sick of this shitty author and shitty story. "This story sucks ass. You're writing me like I'm some two-bit floozy for that idiot Regulas. Here's an idea: Instead of sitting on her ass moping, Matilda takes some initiative and advances warfare a handful of centuries by inventing the grenade launcher. Then she pays a visit to Witchy Bitchface and turns her into fine red paste faster than she can say Abra Cadaver! Eh? Eh? Pretty good, right?"

I give one last look at Regulas before I roll my eyes and close the shutters on my tower. I'm not about to play along with this garage sale story, and I'm DEFINITELY not going to be a damsel in distress. I'm the main character now! Me! And guess what? I'm a waaaayy better writer than the idiot writing this crap anyway! I just hope the author isn't a and gives me a grenade launcher like I asked for. Now let me take a look around this tower... My character locked herself in because she's a boss bitch like that, but I'm breaking out of here! There's gotta be a key around here somewhere...
