My girlfriend writes Shrek fan-fiction and now I’m rethinking my whole relationship with her.

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t understand the modern generation’s sudden obsession in making Shrek a meme. I remember reading “Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life” and from then on, it seemed like pop culture was nothing but Shrek. I enjoy the first two movies, but I’m baffled at the sudden newfound popularity. And now not only am I baffled by it, but now I’m disturbed by it because of my girlfriend writing actual fan-fiction stories about Shrek and his fucked up adventures.

It started last weekend when my girlfriend came to me and told me that she’s looking into a possible career in writing and I thought that was great. I was even more surprised when she told me that she had already written something and she gave me a small little sheet of papers. The story she wrote was about Shrek being hired as Donkey’s lawyer to help him gain custody of his children after a divorce with Dragon. It was the most bizarre thing I’ve ever read…until her next story a few days later. That one was about Prince Charming running a Trump-esque campaign to be the new ruler of Far Far Away. These stories were definitely weird, but still, they were harmless and looked to be in good fun. But then I read her story from yesterday and now I think my girlfriend is fucked in the head.

This story was about Shrek humping Fiona to death and enlisting Donkey and Puss in Boots to hide the body and cover up her murder while Gingy, Pinocchio and others suspect Shrek and try to bring him down. It was a very detailed, graphic, and violent story that ends with a whole bunch of the characters dying horribly and it was quite shocking that my girlfriend actually wrote that. And now I’m seriously reevaluating this whole relationship. I get that my girlfriend wants to write, but stuff like this? Is she serious? Would I be wrong to leave my girlfriend over this? Or am I just overreacting to harmless fan-fiction?
