#this wouldn't rly happen like this specifically until much later in the story but once it does happen? loop is in shambles

[arolesbianism]

I'm brainstorming some more from the top au scenes and I've decided it'd be funny if even though Odile never learns to access to menues to equip them she still obtains memories throughout the game without realizing because Loop never pops up to tell her like they do with Siffrin. Just Loop and Siffrin at the favor tree chatting when suddenly time rewinds and Loop is like stardust wtf? Until a few moments later the new memory pops up and they go oh. Odile. What The Fuck.

i think about "over" like every day of my life and your author's note rly takes me out, thinking about our horny foremothers in fandom. i also think a lot abt like...our own legacies as horned up fans on al gore's internet. can ask what's one thing you'd like to say to pat if you met her? or what's one trope or ship or headcanon etc that you hope outlives you?

(the fic referenced)

😭😭😭😭😭😭 KASPER THIS IS SO NICE. I do really really love thinking about our beautiful foremothers submitting their pornofictions to zines, mailing each other letters about spock's dick, and absolutely innovating every day of their beautiful genius lives.

i love thinking about pat. i love thinking about the fact that she left such a huge legacy on such a relatively small fandom that her obituary is just as vibrant and meaningful twenty years later. I love all the stories her friends told about her. That she was a humongous anti-slasher who vocally complained about them until one of her friends dared her to write a good slash fic, and she convinced herself that slash was fun and worthwhile. Can you being imagine being NOTABLE for hating something and then somehow having the presence of spirit not only to reverse course but absolutely admit openly to why it happened and enthusiastically embrace the opposite side? i won't admit that i'm wrong about shit. there's an emoji in the groupchat that SPECIFICALLY exists to annoy me because i once insisted that a picture of a skyline was detroit when it was boston. and i live in boston. literally pat was a greater person than i'll ever be.

there's also another story about her that i think about more often than you'd ever guess.

I remember I use to annoy the heck out of her when I said I thought she and Blake had the same Myers-Briggs personality type. She hated the very idea, because she thought Blake was a fanatic. She even sent me stacks of photocopied material on personality typing, hoping to convince me that she and Blake were nothing alike.

I don't know why this story charms so much but it does. Stacks of PHOTOCOPIED MATERIAL!!! Doesn't that sound like something i'd do? One of you gets me all riled up and I send you 47 dms arguing why you're wrong? ONLY PAT DIDN'T HAVE DM. SHE HAD TO SEND THIS BITCH PHOTOCOPIED PAGES ABOUT MYERS-BRIGGS TO PROVE HER POINT!!!!!! I LOVE YOU PAT!!!!! I HOPE YOU HIGHLIGHTED STUFF POINTEDLY TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God, the headcanon/trope/ship that outlives me. I know it's gonna be sterek and i know it's gonna be that fucking jizzcrow. i know if i ever have an obituary that people contribute to, someone's gonna say "that bitch did the weirdest stuff with jizz" and i, a ghost who haunts all of you, will hang my head and say "i know that's right." I'm fine with that. I hope people say that Lea did whatever she wanted. I hope people are like "she used her time on earth very strangely, making incredibly mundane and seemingly unsexy things seem horrifyingly erotic." I hope that 1d anon says "you wouldn't believe the fandoms that weirdo got into next."
