Well, the whole Soul Day thing is pretty new and it's like a one day event that lasts. As in, once it happened the effects remain forever but people change based on the beauty content of their soul. So redemption is possible.
Now what you just proposed sounds like a good idea, but please don't call it Soul Day because it doesn't fit with what I set up.
Now, just working through your idea here, what happens to the bodies of the good souls that take over new bodies?
Limbo or purgatory is kinda final for the bad ones that were technically still alive.
Your idea just seems to lack balance of what happens to all bodies involved. Plus, what happens if the good souls get better bodies then go bad? What if the beauty corrupts them?
In theory you have a good idea but there's kinks to be worked out. Story points.
Now I'm not picking on you by pointing this stuff out. If you made a capped pic with that premise without fleshing all that out then readers would ask you these questions in the comments.
For years on my Yahoo Group that's exactly what Eric did to me. He was very engaging and kept me on my toes and made me start trying to answer his usual questions within the capped pics themselves. I think it helped make me a better writer.
With my Soul Day concept I went transformation event over body swapping. That way you still have your body but it changes. In comparison "The Great Shift" is random body swapping so each soul winds up in another body and there's no leftover bodies. Your idea creates the issue of leftover bodies. Unless you make it a merging. That'd work!
So, if you make it a merging then all bad souls go to limbo then good souls bodies and all merge with their bodies and the most beautiful body of the two wins out.
Now, what happens if they turn bad after this happened? Is the Limbo thing a one time only deal or if good people turn bad they'll be instantly sent to Limbo too?
I think human nature slides on a gray scale constantly and nobody ever really gets to pure white or pure black. People's actions can slide them up to darker or back down to lighter shades of gray.
Your idea seems based on the black and white view of good and evil. So what's the line that determines Earth or Limbo?
with all the sexist stuff said about men and women could you make a soul day that turns all the man hating feminist into males and all the woman hating MGTOW into females and depending on there level of there former bigotry they either become married couples, or the children of the married couples.
I don't think people are getting the concept of Soul Day.
That aside, you have a very good idea. I was thinking recently of expanding into the female to male genre ( as in capping pics of dudes, because technically each body swap story does both sides ), and the ultra feminist angle works nicely.
Womanizing guys turned women are an old genre staple.
Now, marrying off the changed or swapped bigots is pure genius! Seriously, you just created a sitcom. Too bad there's already an "Odd Couple"!
It doesn't fit in with Soul Day though. I can do something with it though.
I just thought of a idea of a caption of a woman hating MGTOW and man hating feminist spew so much hate at one another that they give a witch a headache and she cast a spell on them that turns the woman hater into a woman and the feminist is turned into a baby boy that the new woman is the mother of.
ever thought of having a souls day that cause bad people to be kicked there bodies and into limbo while good souls take there place?
