perhaps doing an experimental work featuring a pairing i’m not known for focusing on that is also typically relegated to side pairing status was not my best idea ever but at this point i have accepted my fate as the writer of cult classics and flops

#to be fair i also have to remind myself to be patient #and that the tropes are really niche and maybe i should just change up the summary tbh #had it not been for star constantly talking abt how much she loves this au i probably would have given up on it upon returning lol #i write for myself and my one-and-a-half (1.5) particular audience members #anyway on that note leave comments on fanfic and engage w/creators folks it helps #花話 #maybe it's bc i tend to tag the friendships too BUT THEIR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT #FRIENDS ARE IMPORTANT #i spent too much time on the romantic shipping aspect in my previous fandoms now i wanna fully appreciate some bromances >:C #i don't think i ever wrote ema as a trio when i was into snk except maybe once or twice early on and that's a darn shame #anyway it's like #*banging pots and pans*#here's a love story that i'm writing! they also have friends who contribute massively to the plot!!#it's like... now that i think about it i guess i don't see that much in fic these days #like you'll have the main ship falling in love and the most the friends do is cheer them on or have romances of their own #but the friends never really do much that affect the romance directly unless they're like the Obnoxious Matchmaker(tm)#they tend to be more for the emotional support than the plot support which isn't a bad thing friends should be emotional support #i guess i just feel like friendships get sidelined in the story in favor of the budding romantic relationship #hmm yeah after a bit of research (i.e. filtering ao3) there are very few complete works over 10k that have kmjr as the first listed pairing #which in this case i'm taking to mean that they're the featured pairing #and most of those are oneshots #jesus fucking christ this is depressing #maybe i should shift my focus to writing kmjr bc tdmm is pretty popular n has long fics featuring them #but i guess there just has to be a long popular and easy to recommend kmjr fic out there #i saw one (1) complete one that was 73k but it had. questionable things tagged?#so i wouldn't call that easy to recommend #it's like they exist and all in all these fics they're tagged in but they're not CENTRAL they're not the focused falling in love #where it happens slowly then all at once kind of deal you know??#man i'm getting passionate abt this now *kicks into high gear*
