Buddy Mouse's Musical Journey

By Rachel Martin

The story centers on a character who identifies as a "buddy mouse," an identity initially met with derision and dehumanization, being called a "butt" by others who are fixated on consumption ("all they could do was eat it"). Despite this ostracization and the creation of fragmented, almost nonsensical identities like "shoe-laces," the character finds a unique path to self-expression. This involves embracing unconventional metaphors for her own body and inner world, such as her vagina being a "forest," which she perceives as a positive and generative space. Her journey culminates in finding a sense of belonging and purpose within a collective called "here you go mouse ", where members express themselves freely through music and dance, "jamming to the feeling everywhere if they felt that way." The primary conflict lies in the character's struggle against societal judgment and the reduction of her identity to simplistic, derogatory terms. She navigates a world where her genuine self is misunderstood and attacked. The resolution is achieved through her active participation in a like-minded community that validates her unique perspective and celebrates shared, uninhibited self-expression. The resolution is less about changing the external world and more about finding an internal and communal space where her true self can flourish.
