#because scorned love and betrayal is juicy

[fanstuffrantings]

Decided to go ahead and post her. I've been mulling over a Mavis redesign since 2022.

My love burns bright for the bandit, I want to burn them and see them turn to ashes ( , : are we gonna be able to play as a mc who still loves them but is not willing to trust them again, even if is feel like stabbing their own heart they will not let their betrayed love bloom again? Because I want to be petty even if mc own heart is on the table too!

I like the way you think 😏

The M Route is still under construction but YES you will definitely have a choice to be a scorned MC. With the end of the relationship being of betrayal, it would have been a sin on my part not to introduce some juicy angst and heartache in the M Route mwahaha! The bandit's not allowed to get away that easy, no matter how apologetic they are...

cut for vent post about fanon stuff lol

idk if this opinion is even unpopular or what so forgive me if this sounds unbearably whiny lol but when it comes to season 2 and the ~love triangle~ if it truly does become a fully fledged Love Triangle the way i see it is like obviously any hurt and anger is valid on alex’s part but im just so tired already of people portraying him as some sort of love martyr so hard done by in romance like can we Please create a discourse which recognizes everyone involved as a fully fledged agent with their own individual cocktail of character flaws and history of pain rather than tallying up points until we have a winner. like, alex isnt a woman scorned, hes not carrie underwood in before he cheats, that’s not the situation at all and that’s not who alex is as a person dlfkjdlfj

im just tired! i dont want this to sound like vagueblogging because it’s not, this isnt about any individuals, and i really and truly don’t want to antagonize anybody because obviously the romantic tension, the subsequent separation, the hurt feelings, the shades of betrayal--it’s all perfectly ripe for angst and hurt/comfort and fix-its and every single bit of juicy content that makes fandom so great--i would never tell anyone to stop making any of that content! im just tired of the fanon of alex’s moral purity & righteous anger and screaming abt it in my own corner of the fandom pls feel free to ignore

its like i love a version of this character who’s messy and powerful and kind and ruthless--who’s so compartmentalized he has to art of war himself into personal growth, but who’s so excruciatingly thorough and sympathetic in that process it’s nearly invisible--i just don’t see him as the pivot point for a dramatic zoom tantrum filled soap opera romance plot ldfjdlkfj and maybe im wrong! maybe im a Fool! for thinking that’s not exactly what’s going to happen! for superimposing my own interpretations and biases onto canon and strutting around making vent posts demanding other people Just Think Like Me Already! i promise that’s not what im saying im just smacking my face onto a keyboard!
