not sure if this is your thing or not, but I do think this might be the best thing I've ever written c:

I'm still waiting for my edible to kick in, godspeed

Thanks for reminding me to work on my eggplosion fic

Anyway that's all I wanted to say, sorry. I don't like making posts like this. I've just had this bottled up since last night and I needed to put it somewhere.

I should probably make an appointment with my therapist

I say all this as someone who constantly tries to stay optimistic in the face of *gestures vaguely at the world* while it feels like everyone else just wants to tear that away.

That's why Vaggie is always there to try (successfully or not) to keep her grounded.

Do we want to see Charlie become jaded and miserable? No.

Learning the limits of where optimism can get you is important, but that doesn't mean discarding it entirely.

Her arc is repeatedly learning why that doesn't always work, but still trying to stay optimistic despite that.

And she IS learning, even if she still makes some very bad and dangerously naive decisions (read: train tracks). >>

ofc I see this while ao3 is down 😭

I think I might know which prompt this is...... 👀

Easy is still playing on repeat in my head btw
