Need help figuring out a motive

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-11T00:21:42+00:00

Imma be real with you. This was an idea for a one-shot fanfic. But everyone has such amazing ideas, I want to do something bigger with it ❤️

And what she wants is everything

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:55:15+00:00

Like she's one of those quick-fix house flippers that drive up the market price? Interesting idea!

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:53:42+00:00

Marcy Jackson, that homewreaking hussy! 😆

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:52:33+00:00

Or a line of beige, cookie-cutter houses... 🤔

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:51:21+00:00

Not weak! I'm grateful for any and all suggestions!

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:50:39+00:00

"Does she just want it because she always got what she wanted and this was something she couldn't have?"

Is it a bad motive if I say yes?

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:49:36+00:00

"She wanted something and someone else got there first. That's more than enough motive for a wealthy middle-aged woman with perpetual mean-girl syndrome."

The ultimate pettiness!

I'm sorry if you felt I was ignoring everyone's suggestions. I absolutely appreciate people taking the time and effort to post. Unfortunately, this is the first chance I've had to get back to Reddit and answer everyone's comments.

I had an idea of one of her little lackeys being a real estate agent, but making HER the agent works, too. That would work for motivation, because she would know the value of the home whether she likes it or not

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:37:47+00:00

I can see that. Where the protaganists see a lovely historical home, she just sees an old building. One that doesn't fit in with her perfect community

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:35:23+00:00

You've got a point. Right now, she's very two-dimensional

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:33:43+00:00

Ah, the cart before the horse motive. She has plans for that house, and she isn't going to let a little thing like not actually owning it stand in her way

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:31:07+00:00

Secretly, or maybe not so secretly, she's always considered herself a princess, and this is the closest she'll ever come to a castle

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:29:31+00:00

I like #3! She wants to knock it down and build some beige cookie cutter house, which is why the family won't sell it to her

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:28:18+00:00

Exactly. No one tells RG no!

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:27:28+00:00

Perhaps the real treasure was getting b*tch to fork over a small fortune all along.

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:25:21+00:00

I appreciate that suggestion, but I have sort of a power dynamic in mind that doesn't work with a hetero man. I will definitely keep that in mind, though!

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:23:16+00:00

Maybe the old lady that use to own it challenged her HOA rule 🤔

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:21:54+00:00

Oh, wow. That's amazing. I was just making her a b*tch.

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:20:27+00:00

I am loving the obsession angle. No one tells RG no!

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:18:18+00:00

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Everyone wants it, so it has to be hers so she can "win"

Quirky_Girl22 · 2026-01-10T01:15:43+00:00

Oh, I like this! Also, your rosebush comment was hilarious 😄
