I still think abt how I would tweak/add to 50 Years On The Moon but it’s gotten to the point where it feels like it should be redone completely
chapter 3 has especially kept me conflicted, even when I was first writing it. for awhile I was conflicted on whether acu should end up as a favorable ace or an indifferent ace, and I initially went with favorable bc it’s good to represent those people too, but looking back it kinda goes against the reason I wrote him to be so repulsed initially. From what I’ve heard those wounds don’t heal easily and it feels unfair to force a character to confront them while they’re trying to heal.
atm I'm leaning more towards the alternative of “wanting to try to please someone but they realize they just can’t” and then the idea is off the table for good, which I've also depicted, just not in 50Years.
Other than that I’ve thought of so many other scenarios that could take place in that 50-year gap, like acu forming friendships with queer lunarians, mending bonds with his extended family, and facilitating exchanges of culture between them. no idea if/when these breadcrumbs of information will come to light but just know I still ponder them every now and then.
