Australian open has me wanting to write Olivia and Fitz going to a game post-presidency. Maybe in this universe they play doubles on the weekends

i love you female characters who make selfish choices they know will be bad for everyone. i love you female characters who think they're making the right choice but make things worse. i love you female characters who are making the right choice but noone else understands it.

two scenes to go and im done. i'll finish it before this month's over *repeats three times*

If you read this and you're familiar with the story never break the chain and could beta for me itd be nice

[oliviapopesgf]

To each their own but i really don't like when fics feel like they were written by teenagers. If I want the vibe i'd read a young adult novel or about actual teens

[oliviapopesgf]

The music was so good in scandal like all the choices that were made were on point

[oliviapopesgf]

i need to finish this thing before the school year's back. it's now or never. I need to not care about never break the chain anymore. it won't be as good as I want it to but the time to write this was 2022 or 2023. I'm past the age and the moment to make it as good as I dreamed but it's better than not have an end. maybe.

Something I found on Twitter that really puts things in perspective as a creator.

There's nothing like how much Olivia and Fitz lie to themselves and each other. Love when Liv pretends she isn't down bad (s1), or when circumstances have her be on her feelings in a way that's difficult and real (s3) and when she's all over the place in s5, s6, and s7 but the love is still there and it shows in the most confusing and complex ways.

Fitz in s7. His love? Always there but he gets to be a little mean bc he's mad at olivia. Love when they don't say what they mean. Yes, look at each other angrily and argue about different things (plot of the week) that's actually about your relationship

I have never been on the same page as fandom’s clear communication fetishists and I never will be. I love miscommunication, concealment, pigheadedness, and lies. I think characters should talk around what they have to say and ignore each other and impute needs and beliefs onto others that have nothing to do with those other people and everything to do with maintenance of the ego. A little clear communication is fine but it should come at the end and be earned by repeated instances of snobbery, tomfoolery, self righteousness, or blockheadedness. If you decide you hate a character just because that character isn’t communicating in the way a therapist might coach them to, well consider that people don’t actually talk like that at all and that most of us get things wrong many times before we inch our way out of the labyrinthine darkness of our own heads.

I love when characters lie. you can learn so much about them even when they're not telling you. dissecting the lie is more fun than taking anything they might say at face value. figuring out their motivations... what they're trying to achieve... are they guilty? do they regret it? did they lie gleefully?

[oliviapopesgf]

kind crazy when you stop to think that Fitz relied on Abby (liv's bff) to the point of suffocation after he and Olivia broke up. She was there I get it but poor Abby having to act as therapist to that man all while Olivia is trying to get scoop about how hes doing and acting all poor and above it while somewhat enjoying his misery bc if he's suffering and all alone he still loves her (very different from does he still care??? that she demonstrates when Fitz starts acting like a whore)

[oliviapopesgf]

I care so deeply for Olivia. How not to love a woman who's that confident, that smart?? Someone that loves that hard and is also a fucking mess???

[oliviapopesgf]

I think it might take another five years for my scandal obsession to strike again to the point of writing meta

[oliviapopesgf]

Someone should make a video compilation every time either Fitz or Olivia mention babies or building a family together. They were there not even in a relationship at the time and talking about families. What's wrong with them (affectionate)????

[oliviapopesgf]

Sometimes it's pretty fucking weird trying to write. English really is not my first language. I want to have more fun with sentence structure and its impossible for me to do it bc the tools are very different.
