    I’ve definitely worked a fair bit on the “tradwife bit, but for past socialist states” idea before. My preferred implementation is “1950s teenage girl Soviet sympathiser”, the vibes of the kinds of videos my “Katie” persona would make if I ever actually did anything with her are “it’s just after WWII, your big sister is babysitting you and running the house while Mum’s out shopping, and she’s explaining how McCarthy is an idiot and grown ups are all too fast to forget that the Soviets were our allies against the fascist scourge”.

    But yeah, I’ve definitely workshopped the “tradwife vibes, but for 50s USSR, not 50s USA” bit before, and “modern DPRK, not 50s America” is also a good twist on the bit. I like it.
