#also I've been thinking about the phrase meat potato for two days. thank you

[virtues-end]

Not my mc asking Shea to stay for two reasons

1). Bibbity boop (I haven’t decided if it’s gonna be the angry kind or not, equally torn, but either way, the little meat potato in their chest wants what it wants)

2). You cannot convince my mc that Shea lying by omission was only them trying to smooth out the pathway to trust. Might’ve started that way, but there’s a hint of something shame adjacent that feels suspiciously like they didn’t want to taint our view of them, not with this anyways, that reeks of feelings (what kind, unknown/route dependent, but they’re there, I feel it) (I am also aware that there is a chance that they just don’t want to touch what might be a land mine of issues that honestly mean nothing to mc and maybe everything to them due to or in part because mc is both not the same person as before while also physically being that person)

So quite literally my mc is over here like: if they get to make a whole hearted, selfish decision for once, they’re fucking making it, so really Shea should tell them to stop, otherwise, MC is biting them and it’s a non zero chance that it’s both angry and full of feelings and hell if anyone knows what’s the ratio for it. (I am both clapping and sobbing for Shea because I generally feel like they’re genuinely trying to do good, as flawed or not as their attempts are, but giving them a hard time is just too juicy)

You might be onto something there... 🔍🥸
