Omg I just read your elmike breakup fic snippet and you're so talented! I'd read anything you write for real for real! This is such a great concept take you did with them and with El's POV too?! Your mind I love it and thanks for blessing the tag with your snippet of writing πππ
PLEASE you are too kind ππ Honestly I just wanted to explore El as a character in the wake of a breakup (that she knows she wanted) while also allowing her to have a little bit of introversion and distance while deciding how she wants to have Mike in her life rather than just "oh we've been through hell together, so we have to be besties" the way it feels sometimes in fanon haha.
Like? We don't have to be (and usually aren't) best friends with our exesβeven when they don't end up dating our siblings after we all saved the world from someone with a similar background to us. I just thought El deserved to go through some displeasure about being asked to make nice with someone who has been such a mixed force in her life, as a treat. π
I will definitely keep the people posted on it though! I think it will be more gen than anything, but it will also certainly (aka already does) have heavy Byler and Lumax elements.
Thanks again for the compliment! π₯°
#honestly I think El deserves to be more complex and human than we let her be in fanon a lot of the time too!#like. she isn't stupid (lol) but sometimes it feels like we skirt over how complex that transition is going to be for her after S5 esp#like. now that you have to BE human? and in the wake of your brother dating your ex AND someone who took you in? it's gonna be a bit messy#on top of all that residual trauma you've never has space to get therapy for? It's...giving complex in a way that needs to be explored haha#anyway! I'm working through her thoughts in my writing and...we'll see what comes out in the end lol#foodiewithdahoodie#asks#the el fic
