#But I think there'll be a lil bit of Beth stan friendship stuff

[sothischickshe]

I heard we’re supposed to yell at you about fic things? Maybe? Sooooooo - are you gonna write Stan in a fic? What’s a weird headcanon you have about Annie? What was Rio’s last master like in genie au? (Also more genie au?)

I mean that feels fundamentally incorrect, but sure let's go with it!

Ummm, like stan as a pov character? Probs not. But like stan in the action? I do a lil bit! There probs will be a lil stan content in the spade story (one day one day). But I'm aiming to never again write anything over 3k lol so everyone can have one line each and then go sit down

a WEIRD headcanon about annie hmm, ok I think she's double jointed. She's just got that Air

Oh genie rio's his own master! Even if he is somewhat beholden to bureaucracy. Probably got rejected by the last person he turned up to 'help' due to continual mumbling & generalised uselessness. He's unemployable in all universes!!!!!

I don't have any plans for any more genie au, it feels like a completed Thing, but idk never say never I guess. Maybe if n when the tbw list is smaller I could consider!

But more importantly, who is going to write that genie jt au?????

21 35 45 62 please! :D

Ah these are so good!!

21. Character(s) you wish we saw more?

Amber!!!!! We were robbed of her presence in s3.

35. Which relationship do you think has had the most solid development throughout the show?

Honestly, probably beth and rio's? I feel like it's had the most development and flux, plus we've literally seen its entire trajectory. And it's always compelling, if unfortunate to look at.

45. What do you want to see in season 4?

Oh so many things!

A full season

Beth and dean's divorce

Amber, lots of Amber

Rio and mick hanging out, chatting nonsense

Annie getting a girlfriend

Annie not being kicked in the gut a million times when she's already down

Beth and stan scenes

Beth and Ben scenes

The girls actually making SOME bank, it doesn't have to be loads, I'd just like it if the plot wasn't always one step forwards two steps back in this regard, and the reason they're stuck doing this is because they're in too deep rather than fuck they've lost all their money again (or spent it on a hitman)

Ruby and stan are happy

Beth dating/banging someone who isn't dean (ew) or rio. It doesn't have to be hockey dad cop or hot coach or rhea but those are all solid options

Beth and rio developing a weary begrudging almost friendship

Mick Ruby annie friendship

More Nancy and Annie stuff

More Ruby and Diane stuff

More beth and Judith stuff

any of the girls going 'say dyou think it's strange how Turner died around the same time rio popped back up hrrm?'

Turner's reappearance (men can't die, cmon)

More flashbacks of the girls

Boomer brutalised bloody (if men can't die at least give me some gore)

Beth and rio try to play pool

Assuredly more stuff, but this was just off the top

62. Do you think we will see more of Rio’s storyline? Will we get more Marcus? We will get to see more of the people he works with besides the girls? Do you think we will see more of Rhea?

I think we'll probably get a lil more of Rio's storyline as the show progresses, yes. I think that's just natural. I know it was a lil frustrating that it felt like there was a fair bit in the first few eps of the season and then not much, but I DO think that would have picked up in the last few eps of the season. That's kind of how the seasons normally play out?

Yea there'll probably be more Marcus, and again I think there might have been more towards the end of the season had it existed. Jane and marcus' friendship was fairly significant at the start of the season so maybe that would have swung back in? Plus surely this show is desperate to claw at any child actors it can get to actually appear, lol.

I mean we've seen a fair bit of a people he works with besides the girls this season? Idk if we'll see a huge amount about the rest of his operation, but maybe if it's plot relevant, like he's bringing Beth into more of it? That'd be cool!

I would LOVE to see more rhea and I'm really hopeful about that, it would be so cool!! If the show won't write me into it so I can yell at Beth and rio, the least they could give me is rhea doing it!!!

And... I guess this wasn't exactly the q but anyway... Would I like more rio screentime? Kinda, but tbh that's for manny, rather than me thinking the show particularly demands it.

I think if you're watching the show wanting it to be any of the following:

The rio show

A romance

A comedy

You're going to be disappointed! (I think I'm particularly guilty of the last one tbh)

What pisses me off is not the screen time, and it's not the lack of rio pov scenes (although I think one or two more could be helpful, or mick ones!), it's the feeling I get that rio (and this season, rhea) are chess pieces placed on the board to move the girls' actions somewhere. It's like... I can see the bones of the story, and I should NOT be able to. Instead of getting to thoroughly enjoy rhea as a character, I can see that her purpose was in large part to provide beth with a pregnancy out, and then she was gone!

I don't know that I particularly need to see more of what's going on with rio, I just want to feel like he's written in an internally consistent way/the writers have a firm idea of what's going on with him when he's not on screen (i feel like s2 was waaaaay egregious with this re rio, and maybe they addressed that better in s3?)
