on one hand, i really enjoy poll for initiative: bedlam* and would love to get more people into it, if at the very least as a VOD watch to enjoy the story

on the other, today while i was in the shower i had the image of a tiktok screenshot of someone saying that adding cassandra was clearly pandering and that they shouldn't be so loudly in love pop into my head and it was a goddamn horror story

*mostly only specified bcus eventually act 5 will come out and i have my suspicions that act 5 will be the last one and thus the second season will begin... eventually

#little rock.txt #i genuinely don't know where the idea came from #i think i was just thinking about the fact that pfi is the first fandom i've been in that's wlw focused since steven universe #and steven universe was the *first* even fandom that was like that (^:#(i mean. i'll admit that tfr is also kind of like that #but that's more of a side effect of the only canon couple being stacy and becky and the shipping culture being very quiet)#(and while in pfi there also just Aren't many men to ship #there's something so delightful about how fully we get into lys/cass that echoes the way ships are treated in larger fandoms)#and how much of a breath of fresh air it is #i'm writing a happy fic about them bcus almost every other pfi fic that exists is sad as hell #(tbf. mostly my fault)#and i'm just diving headfirst into it. giving myself everything my little lesbian heart desires #it's intimate and a little cheesy and drawn out bcus that's what I want and i don't have to compete!! everyone is down for that!!#and like. i'm not blaming people who ship mlm ships.#that is a whole other beast that i'm not about to open a can of worms for #but like. listen. i've been a homestuck #i was into a handful of animes #i'm watching what's happening to dungeon meshi in real time #sitting here in my corner and knowing that my lys/cass fic doesn't have to outpace. idk fucking merlin/varrick. to get recognition #takes a weight off of the shoulders!!#..... eventually i do kinda want to write something about merlin and varrick but that's more bcus they definitely have a History #and i'm interested in what it looks like to love people even when they have become intent on destroying their own legacy #merlin defended varrick to his last breath and it compels me!!#however i think that's something for after pfi: bedlam is over and i can cope enough with the inevitable emotional devastation to rewatch i
