#jane and richie really shouldn't be a thing

[lesbiangummybearmafia]

I'm gonna say it right now, I really don't like Jane with Richie. I don't know it just seems so overly cliche. I know the series may be wanting to mirror Sandy and Danny from original Grease but I find a whole lot of awkward. Especially since Jane and Olivia have this natural chemistry, when to me anyway Jane and Richie's inactions feel forced. And unless their being made to inact there really isn't any chemistry between the two. Sometimes I wish a series wouldn't go in with a set narrative of this person going to be with is person. Or this character going to be straight period. Then chemistry happens bewteen two characters that everyone sees and wouldn't be upset if those characters were put together. But the series is so dead set on that narrative they decided on they won't even consider anything else. It would be wonderful if Rise of the Pink Ladies was different, I'll be pleasantly if it is. But im not going to hold breath. Instead I'm going to have to be annoyed by forced romance that's painful awkward to watch.

6. Angstiest Ending

this was hard because i'm a baby. probably feed off our fears. yen and geralt reflecting on how they're in a throuple with a nonmagical human dude who will probably get brutally murdered by their enemies before he leaves them via old age is kinda heavy.

tommy and buck essentially adopting my blorbo from when i was a kid and pulling him out of his fridging was never really meant to be seen by anyone but me. it happened after a year plus dry spell and the flow and characterization is not great. it's okay. i needed to get bad words out first. but, siiiigh. i really want richie to get saved in fic form.

according to reviews: humor, dialogue, being in-character

17. Writing Weaknesses?

description, length, plot (😩)
