or maybe... hear me out.... there is in fact no villain because that's just how it works in life normally... and if you can recognise that emily is in fact a complex and flawed person who can act both lovingly and selfishly then that same logic also applies to rory who was literally just a 15-22 year old who messed up sometimes........

"emily was in love with eldon and hunter and west, she can't be a lesbian" TO YOU. I know the truth which is that comphet exists and she was in love with michelle the whole time

Something about Emily being called rude and harsh for the way she handled Eldon basically harassing her, before being guilt tripped for hurting his feelings and then pressured into going on a date with him.
Something about Emily trying to gain Amanda’s trust by pretending to turn against the team, having to to portray herself as incredibly cruel and selfish, and struggling to cope with how easily everyone believed it.
Something about Emily saying goodbye to Michelle, tears streaming down her face, admitting to thinking she’s not kind or compassionate enough on her own, and scared that she won’t be able to be a mentor and a role model without Michelle to guide her.
Something about being a good person at your core, but nobody ever acknowledges it so you don’t even know that you are.
Something about this character who, despite the countless number of times she’s felt it break, genuinely believes she might not have a heart.

Why did west never get a good plot line? He was a B story guy with so much A story potential. His mini story with Emily was just about it AND IT WAS FANTASTIC you got to see the human behind the shenanigans. I ship them so hard.

Okay, I need to rant about this rn!
Why just why was the show so casual and fine with the fact that Eldon was harassing Emily for over 5 years! Like, the writers played it off as him just having a dumb crush and expecting us to laugh or something, but it’s so frickin’ weird! She said NO, leave her the f*ck alone! They’re not even doing it lightly either, this was full on harassment, nothing less!
Now, I didn’t care much for Emily in the first half of this season, but I was even rooting for her to punch him! I already hated Eldony and Eldon himself enough, but being reminded of how this storyline was written is just amplifying that!

I'm just curious, is it serious? - Chapter 1 - thatsarealfuckinglegacy - The Next Step [Archive of Our Own]
When Michelle and Emily break up after a fight, they both feel lost. So Michelle goes back to The Next Step, where a rebound romance begins and a plan to buy the studio is formed. But how will Emily feel when Michelle steals her dream of owning the studio? And will Michelle's new relationship work out?

A marauders fic that is loosely based off of the next step is my dream AU to write.
Was this dreamt up because I found an old playlist grade 7 me made 7 years ago that had a song from the show that sent me down a rabbit hole?
Definitely.
Do I want to rework some of the dances to fit certain characters because the dances were iconic?
Absolutely.
My only concern about writing it is the fear that it’s already been done before, but because I’m afraid it’s been done I refuse to look into it to get the answer.
