lately ive been thinking a lot about how difficult sarmenti’s canon backstory, specifically, is to adapt to a modern au. it’s not difficult in the sense that you can’t easily paste it onto a modern setting, but difficult in the sense that you run the risk of writing something EXTREMELY distasteful if you stay too true to the character/canon. but on the flip side, if you water down this event too much in an attempt to make it more palatable, you run the risk of sacrificing a HUGE part of what makes sarmenti’s character interesting. there are just not a lot of digestible ways to adapt an act of mass murder that takes place in a government institution
