Was really planning on having chapter 3/3 of my current fic up tonight, but anxiety got in the way once again lol, so I probably won’t have it ready when I promised myself I would. Sorry! I also made some changes to fics I have anon’d on AO3. Tempted to delete some I’m no longer happy with or don’t want up publicly, but I’m really trying not to. I did already delete one. Hope you’re all doing well <3

why did book 3 obliterate ms characterisation?

i promise this isn't me copping out but i haven't played book 3 since it dropped in april '23, so i couldn't give you a 100% accurate answer even if i tried

i spent multiple days analyzing issues with characterization when it dropped and then my life started falling apart – if i could remember + repeat what i remember from those conversations i would

what i will say of what i remember, is that a lot of my issues stem from being led to believe that the romance would develop a certain way and it going in a completely different direction – obviously, i know and respect an author's vision, but the dip in quality from the demo to the actual finished product made me step back and view b3 differently. instead of a fully realized story that i could see building on itself and leading to something much bigger, it was painfully obvious that this is a game with stats that had to satisfy requirements.

i only played one full route (m's of course) and after a while the scene/mood changes were so disjointed it took me out of it – lighthearted to heavy with no time to unpack or discuss, i.e. big relationship moments sandwiched between research/combat scenes and conversations with random side characters.

ultimately, just felt like a checklist of scenes being ticked off as the story progressed rather than a natural buildup with a solid plot progression like b1 and b2 imo.

i know i haven't gotten to specific instances of m's characterization being obliterated, which i said as an exaggeration, bc m is still m at timesin b3, but other times is an actual stranger in text – i don't think i can give you specific examples, but i can at the very least say that the above issues were what led to the issues of m feeling ooc.

What are the Fleetway freedom fighters reaction to super Scourge

Okay okay okay so. So. So. I have thoughts on Super Scourge and the circumstances required for him to go super. Like, he's never gone super with the chaos emeralds before, and even if he wanted to Sonic wouldn't let him bc the chaos emeralds in his dimension are kinda fucked and they don't need anyone else developing a destructive super form. So in order to go super Scourge would need to go back to Moebius to get some anarchy beryl, and he'd need quite the motivation to do that bc although he's used to hopping dimensions, he's not keen to go back to Moebius once he's settled in Sonic's dimension. Higher chance of getting caught by the cops or the suppression squad or Rosie, after all, so he doesn't deem it worth the trek, especially since he isn't sold on the idea of going super anymore now he knows it burns him out when he powers down. Sooooooo perhaps one of the only reasons he would retrieve anarchy beryl to go super was in a dire circumstance, likely the middle of a fight, when important things need to get done, so the freedom fighters are a lil busy dealing with whatever threat has popped up to have too much of an initial reaction. Maybe be a bit wary, but once they see Scourge is focused on what they need him to do they're like "okay well we don't need to worry about him just yet"

What comes to my mind is that the only super form they've ever experienced is Sonic's super form, which they don't know is not standard across the multiverse. So once the crisis they're dealing with winds down, I imagine they're tense and ready for a fight, because they just don't know any better. It may take them some convincing to realise Scourge is still himself and that his super form is nothing like Sonic's. Once they've accepted that, they'd bully the fuck out of him for the fact his fur turns purple, and then help him get back home to rest once he powers down and is exhausted. Sonic especially bullies him extra hard because he doesn't want Scourge to realise just how much he liked seeing him all powerful and badass

(Sonic is, perhaps, a little jealous. He knows how powerful super forms are, and he can't help but think of all the things he could do if he was able to be in control in his own super form like Scourge is. He tries not to linger on the what-ifs, but he can't help being a little bitter about it. Still, he turns down Scourge's offer to try anarchy beryl, because he doesn't know if he'll have the same reaction to anarchy energy as he does chaos energy, and it just isn't worth the risk. He already has to deal with Super, he doesn't want to risk creating another out of control super form)

more in depth explanation ig, i dont feel like i can listen to especially poets without thinking about the whole paternity test analysis thing.

when i first listened i felt really awful and embarrassed and i couldn't quite articulate why

while im still trying to figure it out, a huge part of my feelings was (and still is) that the part of me that wants to theorize about songs and who they're about, and connect it to taylor's life and imagine what she wrote about is at odds with what i hear in the lyrics about creeps who want the best for me and etc

there are some songs im better at just vibing with and some songs that i just actively have to force myself not to be like "oh thats about x person and so they did this and she did this and..."

I'm trying, and if anyone has suggestions or things that work for them please send them to me, im new to this and to online fandoms in general. i feel so shitty but then there's part of me that still doesn't see harm in thinking "x song is about taylor and x person, so using what you know about them both lets picture this in your mind" and "oh [symbol 1] that must mean it's about [person 1], but wait now there's also [symbol 2] so it's about [person 1 and person 2] but wait does that mean person 2 could also be related to symbol 1?" all the while all of these people are real actual people.

What's your favourite FNIN book and why?

IM GLAD YOU ASKED-

its 'trzecia kuzynka'!

it just really stands out of the series, starting with the setting: - instead of Warsaw, a big city, the whole book takes place in the polish mountains(which ones??? who knows. i dont). usually the action of fnin books takes place in a big city(there are exceptions to this rule ofc) but this time the closest urban area is a small town.

the feeling of uneasiness also shows itsel in the book's cast. in most books we have a bunch of reoccuring characters: felix and net's parents, teachers, classmates - but here the only other familiar person is manfred(and even still hes not as prevelant bc theres no internet and stuff). just like the trio, the reader doesnt know anybody. theyre alone. everyone and everything here is strange and the lack of familiar faces only makes it more apparent. theres also the fact that when usually the trio are the best informed and oriented people in a given situation, here theyre.... lost. everyone(alright maybe not everyone, but you get the point) has secrets and hidden motives.

another thing is how the trio separates - although thats not uncommon in fnin, the way they do it is dffrent from usual - instead of net and felix having another one of their dramatic breakups, its nika who distances herself from her friends. thats also another thing i love about 'trzecia kuzynka' - the way it focuses on nika and her relationship with f&n. the change of setting allows for the common 'what if people find out nika is an orphan' thing to fade into the background for once, wnich means theres room to explore other aspects of nikas life and personality. her lack of friends aside from felix&net, her emphaty and selflesnes, her persistance to do the right thing - all those qualities are allowed to shine here and its great!

this book subverts expectations of a long time fnin reader and it feels so fresh and unique beacuse of that. the way the tension gradually builds up as more and more weird things happen makes it so fun to read! and, in a truly shocking twist, morten isnt behind everything this time!!(i know, impossible). even the fact the trio is separated during the finale instead of sticking toghether as per usual - 'trzecia kuzynka' flips the typical fnin formula on its head and i love it.

the new side characters are pretty cool too! when i first read this book, i thought laura's very cool - and honestly i still think that - she has a motive here, shes doing her own thing, and also shes hilarious. the others are pretty entertaining too! oh, and how could i forget - the 'false trio'. oh my frickin god the reveal of them being secret fucking agents was glorious-

and one other thing i have to mention - the horrors. there are times while reading this book when i have to stop and ask myself 'wait.why is this actually scary.' in other books there are moments or longer scary scenes, sure, but the one is dripping with tension and anticipation from start to finish, and the finale is the perfect culmination of that. there are so many scenes that just stuck with me - the graveyard, laura's mam-moth(get it) story, the whole castle sequence(i was a bit uncomfortable tho..), the reveal of the giANT FUCKING *THING* UNDER THE HOUSE-, and of course the entirety of nika's side of the finale!

i have no idea what other people think about this book, but i absolutely love it!(crap now i want to reread it for the gazillionth time)

thank you for the ask!
