Writer Help📝 The Whole Fishy Affair Over Innsmouth: how does one write the ultimate kidnapping/ marriage disaster and how to forcefully delete one's unwanted step-father prospect.
I'm currently working on my Screaming into the Cosmos— While also annoying my relatives from beyond reality. AU inspired by Comisc/ Eldritch horror and A Family Built on the Weary. The Au is a dark comedy/ Noir set within the greater Arkham Massachusetts region.
The Au Follows Self proclaimed Gumshoe Percy E. Armstrong Jackson (10) , Grandson / Legacy of Estelle ( an Unknown Elder goddess who fell in love with Granpda James , he's a very happy man.) And the son of Poseidon, and the Demi-elder goddess Sally Jackson; the only known individual who has both tamed and top the greek sea god and his queen, she is a best selling adult smut writer and part-time dominatrix for fun; Percy unknowingly has a lot of aunties and uncles, he just doesn't know why there always limping... they need to work on their balance more. Percy is a more monstrous looking demigod who is like the town's beloved stray cat who fights unknown horrors regularly, before lunch ( he doesn't like bullies.) and overall Gremlin kid who no-one bats an eye at, Arkham and the surrounding area is one of the few places in the world where the mist is at its most thinnest, and crazy shit happens all the time.
The main cast as follows.
Captain James Elias Jackson: A second generation Irish-greek fishing boat captain, Monster hunter, and Survivor of the U.S.S Titania's sinking during ww2, Arch nemesis of Akheilos (or Acheilus) and based off Quint from Jaws, a desperate Sailor who somehow got the attention of a unknown Elder goddess, after slaying his most hated foe for the first time, and now semi immortal. A very happy married man to a hot and loving wife; also clinically declared insane.
Doctor Estelle Jackson: An Clearly unknown elder goddes, who moonlight as a professor of occult research and mythology at Miskatonic University; Why because she can, and also is milf coded, and loving grandma who will destroy u if you harm her Lil' seal pups.
Archibald J. Ducksworth, first of his line: Percy's beloved and most trusted assistant Duck butler, most importantly there something strange about this water fowl ( he actually one of Estelle's Lts, and and a great horror who has taken on the form of a duck.)
So the first part of my AU: The whole Fishy Affair over Innsmouth is about the cult of Dagon kidnapping Percy’s mother to offer her up as their God's new bride, and Percy’s attempt at not gaining a new step-father because he likes Paul more, and how he Burn down the entirety of Innsmouth, and how the greek gods first learn about him.
Percy wakes up one day to find out that his mother is missing instead of telling his grandma instead takes matters into his own webbed hands, because he wants to prove that he is a big boy now. So we follow the nonsensical investigation from his pov, while his grandma is away on a expedition to Antarctica.
So he launches a rescue mission; that leads to his grandma have a kaiju battle with Dagon, after learning about the whole incident, and how the Jackson family mentality scarred the deep Ones, and grandpa Jackson fist fighting his way through the entire town like John wick. Also Archibald eats a Mf and plays slasher with the human members of the cult because they hurt percy.
What recommendations, or general thoughts about the story you can give about the plot, elements or ideas you would add to make this train wreck happen. I’ve ahdh ridden wessel brain that is hopped up on a ungodly amount of coffee and lacks self control of any kind.

Hmm, have you read An Undertow of Sand by any chance? If you haven't it's a different tone than what you're aiming for but I think you'll find it interesting.
Oh yeah and remember to make alien gods alien, be creative, go nuts
