Perhaps a director's cut on your fic Counting Numbers?

Ohhh I'm so sorry that I've taken so long to answer this omfg

In trying to figure out what to say I realised that I don't really think about what I want to write before words are going down!! I just sort of thought, "Oh, people like Rose, I should write something with him sneezing or I'll just keep writing Cactus."

And like, I thought about how his sneezes are so so different to Cac's, and how attentive Cactus is, despite how aloof he seems.

When I first started writing it, I actually had no idea what was making Rose sneeze, I just wanted his smaller, more rapid ones to be the... 'star of the show'????????? ?????? What a weird concept

I did consider it being allergies, but for allergies ,,, idk, I personally feel like I need a setup? I don't know if that makes any sense at all. I want to know what they're allergic to and I sort of need them to be around it for a build up (ha) before anything can happen, I can't just cold-open (ha!!) like I can with a cold???

It's like a... 'hehe... Look... Here's an allergen... And look, this character has no idea... Hehehehe.... How will they interact, hm?? Tee hee tee hee'

Surely other writers also understand,,, you just write and then the characters chat away of their own accord. I can't control these two any more than I can control my friends.

It's fun to play with the differences in how characters react to the same thing (getting sick) and how their partner character reacts (to the person who is sick) it drives me crazyyyyyy I love themmmm ...

ALSO isn't it fun to have a fet character snz and deal with a non-fet character (who doesn't know about it) reacting to that? I LOOOOOVE embarrassing and bullying Rose it's one of my favourite pastimes....
