thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience this may cause! 🙇

@chamarin@mastodon.xyz i absolutely did. to this date it's the only game that has made me bawl like a baby. snot, puffy eyes, the works LMAO

@chamarin@mastodon.xyz OH now i see! i have to admit i'm a really bad fan because i haven't actually played rescue team red/blue yet LOL - but in my defense, explorers of time/sky/darkness is good enough to justify being wigglytuff :D

@chamarin@mastodon.xyz pardon?

ok eight-fold atrament is also the moral of "so, shit's kind of fucked up if you start looking at what's actually going on in the setting of splatoon, huh? wow, that's a lot of existential dread underneath the colorful paint, eh?"

but a lot of one-shots and so forth i've written also have that BOY, SHIT'S KINDA FUCKED UP, HUH? moral, sooo

eight-fold atrament: taking care of the environment is a response to being given a gift by previous generations, and to reject it is irresponsible, even if you have been given a difficult mandate

run rabbit run: there is no such thing as too late for redemption

5150: mental illness can strike anyone, and is never going to be magically cured by a relationship - but can be managed into a healthy future with effort

because I HAVE AN ENGLISH DEGREE, THE NAVEL-GAZING IS REQUIRED, here's as best i can figure out the major statements i'm making with my fanfictions

masquerade: recovery is not linear and there is not any one state where someone is fully good forever now. it is a struggle but it is one well worth watching

harry potter and the hangman's riddle: parentage and circumstances of birth do not define you even if they give you hard burdens to carry

@InspectorCaracal tbh i feel like a lot of the 'morals' of my stories only really coalesce when i'm at least a couple of chapters in

it's like the characters mill about and in that direction it all goes in, it gets clearer and clearer, and suddenly it snaps into focus and i realize the undercurrent that's been driving it all, if that makes any sense

@InspectorCaracal i mean

that's also a good point to have for a lot of things honestly

not that every single piece of writing needs to be didactic, but... i still feel like having a core moral or statement there makes my fanfiction stronger, or at least more interesting for me to write
