thoughts on transparent and trifle

Transparent:

It's probably clear from the fic, but there's a lot of things that Furina does not notice due to her self-loathing. The reason why she doesn't notice reader's feelings for her is because she can't fathom why anyone would ever like her. However, to everyone else, reader's feelings are quite clear from the way they treat her.

At one point, I actually did want to spell out reader's adoration for her. For example, the way they can't tear their eyes away whenever she's on stage. The warmth in their eyes whenever she shows her more hesitant side. The way they stand in front of her to hide her view of those that don't like her. But the more I tried writing that, the more I realized I couldn't see Furina leading someone on like that. If she did notice, she'd probably avoid them. So I went with the idea she didnt notice at all instead.

Trifle:

I hope nobody reads this fic and paints Cyno out to be the bad guy. What I was trying to make reader do was for them to describe Cyno as base Cyno. Aka, normal Cyno. Aka, nothing out of the ordinary Cyno. I tried to write it specifically so that, when reading what Cyno did, it wouldn't ring any bells. The way Cyno treated reader is the same way he'd treat anyone else under his tutelage.

Reader says it themselves. Their fault is they fall in love too easily. And they do. Cyno treated them normally and they took it to mean something special. Their hubris was definitely hubris. They looked to deeply into something they shouldn't have.

However what I didn't mention in this is that.... Honestly I don't think Cyno is the type that'd realize he's leading someone on. And I don't think he's the type that'd realize someone is into him. What this lead to in the cabin of the fic is him acting awkwardly around reader after. He'd become too self-aware. But he'd also become aware of reader as well. And somewhere along the way, he'd probably end up falling in love haha
