I recently read an amazing Disco Elysium High School AU fic called DRAMA [Trivial: success] High School fucking sucks, Sire by the amazing @yousaydisco that really touched my heart.

It was extremely well written and respectful, and made me cry multiple times. I wanted to pay homage to it, so here’s a scene from the fic.

Here is the link if you want to read it! (Please read the tag warnings before doing so! It’s a pretty heavy one.)

some stories are written precisely to elicit strong emotions from the reader INCLUDING negative ones. some stories and characters are meant to be upsetting, they are meant to challenge you and make you uncomfortable!! when a story makes you feel Big Feelings sometimes you are meant to sit in those feelings and ask yourself why! fiction is a great space to explore these emotions in a safe environment. you, as the reader, are meant to think critically about the art you are enjoying and that includes asking yourself questions like why has the author presented their art in this way and what are they trying to tell me. and then you get to have fun picking it apart and figuring it out and deciding what, exactly, the art means to you.
