think i might have to do rewrites on the Lazy fic,, the more i think about it the more i think that maybe tiffany and changeling’s friendship isn’t actually a good one

#aside #her character is interesting bc she has always been someone who Regrets things but. hasn’t really Learned from them?#tiffany was kind of a bully. her character is rooted in that popular notion of #‘undiagnosed autistic girl who gets taken under the wings of their female peers and take cues from them’#but the fact is that a lot of those peers aren’t necessarily Good Kids. not all around #so what do you do if the person who is protecting/teaching you is also kind of an asshole to other kids?#well you don’t want to be the kid getting made fun of. so you go along with it. obviously #and so her friendship with changeling was borne mostly out of guilt. i haven’t written about it much but changeling dropped out of school #bc the bullying got so bad in HS. and tiffany wasn’t a main participant in that but she definitely never spoke up for it. and laughed along #so it was Guilt that she went to its house to apologize and they kind of became actual friends after that #but like. how good is the friendship when changeling is a Little only in it bc it doesn’t have any other options?#and how good is it when tiffany sees changeling as Safe not bc she especially trusts/respects it but bc like.#its position in life is such that it couldn’t screw up tiffany’s main social life even if it wanted to? you know?#i think that she was its friend for a really long time but. i think they Do hang out less after changeling meets augustus #and i’m kind of torn on this bc i kind of don’t want to write characters whose Only social thread is each other #but the more i realize that tiffany isn’t actually a Main Character the more i think that im going to populate the series with #some other minor characters so that she doesn’t stick out. plus there are things i’d like to write about #that augustus and changeling wouldn’t necessarily fit well now that i have a good grasp of who they are #so more side characters would be fun. i’m making more dolls for the dollhouse here but.#yeah i think i might have to write tiffany out of Lazy. bc i don’t think by that point she’d just stop by changeling’s for no reason #and i also don’t know how Close she and augustus actually got. i don’t think they’d do casual physical contact actually #i have to figure out the timing of this rewrite tho lol bc i’m writing a fic now that is a precursor to a fic i do want to write about tif #so should i do the rewrite before both of those? between them? after them? idk yet!
