rereading some of my old stuff and. guys should i post this old c2 oneshot i wrote in sept 2020 during the travellercon arc, wido/jest-adjacent & now extremely not canon-compliant (as in i was wildly incorrect in predicting future plot events). bc i actually really like it. and also i want to increase my ao3 wordcount. stonks. could be fun? could be fun.

I get the vibe that you weren’t really as into kieutou as you were with mayla, is there any reasons for that (sorry that this sounds passive aggressive as hell I just don’t know how else to word it and I was curious)

not passive aggressive at all!!! i will censor/use alt ship names tho just bc ever since that untagged netherlands ask ended up in the tag and vdh stans sent me stuff i’ve been irrationally paranoid lmao. i think dr s6 is both the objective best of all 4 wlw seasons and one of the best remake seasons overall, but i do in general prefer m*yla to q2 in terms of like, reading/writing fic, + overall attachment to the couple

my reasons for that are entirely: a) personal connection and b) time and place. fr6 aired when my state was in heavy lockdown, i hadn’t gone outside in months, i was in my worst depressive state in years + was battling a physical injury, i lost two internships, and things were just really bad in general as they were for everyone. obviously the season didn’t make things magically better (it was actually very triggering LMAO), but it was also the first time outside of euphoria - which is a whole other mess - that i’d seen a character/s who i related to, and who reflected the realities of myself, my friends & high-school life, in terms of sexuality, mental illnesses, family, trauma, etc. the writing wasn’t good and the tag sucked, but it was basically the one thing i could look forward to each day per the show’s format, and smth to motivate me to finish assignments (you can’t check for a clip unless you write this, etc) during an otherwise gruelling semester. similar reason why i also personally prefer j*ra to q2, 5 to 6: n*ra’s mental health storyline & issues with her family connected with me more + aired when i was in my last sem, whereas 6 aired during my post-grad job search hell. i also literally created this blog for the sole purpose of complaining about fr lol, so the reason im even writing this ask - and have made some friends, got back into writing fanfic, etc - is technically bc of that hell season 😭 embarrassing!

i told myself i’d rewatch dr 6 as soon as i got either my license or a job, so you’ll probably see an influx of q2 posts soon when i feel like i can enjoy and analyse it guilt-free :) i really, really love f*tou; outside of l*la’s mental issues, f*tou is the character i relate to second most (i struggled with school and standing up for myself in v similar ways), and i do believe her season is mostly a masterpiece 💓
