The project went really well, thank you!! Big success, and now more work but less strict than before. :)
Pfffttt you'll make my head big, I am merely observing something that is already cool. But seriously, I really enjoyed the chapter, and Bokuto being Kuroo's foil was literally like an epiphany at the end of the chap.
there I was sitting on my couch and BAM Kuroo's "I know. It's okay." hit me in the face. I was like damn.
DAMN. Like...this cemented the success of Kuroo in every way (Not that he didn't have it before but like EVERYTHING is out in the open now) and it's only made more poignant by the crippling shame Bokuto is going through.
You framed two distinct types of pain SO. WELL.
Kuroo's pain of being accused at a party and those mixed emotions. He's worried about Y/N and all she's going through but also he's probably worried about BOKUTO as well. Kuroo's problems are way more complex but he's obviously mature enough to handle them.
But I know he's worried about Bokuto a little because sometimes your best friend makes a huge mistake that you KNOW is not who they are. Like he's mad and hurt but also just worried because like Bokuto, dude, are you okay?
That pain is complex but manageable if you are mature enough and Kuroo is so so selfless (but NOT in a self-sacrificing way which is key). It's like I saw him as a literal knight in shining armor, noble, and just and AHHH 😭😭😭😭
Then my beloved Bokuto, my sweet stupid stupid stupid boy. He feels like that one quote from "My Best Friend's Wedding" -
"I'm pond scum. Well, lower actually. I'm like the fungus that feeds on pond scum. Lower. The pus that infects the mucus that cruds up the fungus that feeds on the pond scum."
And then to have Kuroo forgive him?
My most humbling experiences have been when people have given me kindness that I did not deserve. That pain is severe but you learn, my God do you learn.
I hope he finds some kind of redemption but I also know it'd be completely understandable if he didn't. I can not wait to see where you go with this.
Maya, if you are reeling from writing the pure EMOTION in this story just know I am down in those trenches with you. Just know I always look forward to your writing.
I did not mean for this to be this long I am so sorry 😂 but I'll leave you with this.
MINI!!!! Oh my fucking god your asks always leave me FLOORED LITERALLY FLABBERGASTED MY JAW IS SCRAPING DOWN ON THE GROUND!!!!!!
honestly thank you, i can’t even begin to describe my gratitude, because reading all your thoughts and comments about LG fills me up with so much joy, my heart is overflowing with your kindness thank youuuu. I read everything you sent me over and over and over again and I can’t believe someone can understand my story as well as you do
And god, yes. There’s so many layers to Kuroo’s and Bokuto’s pain. Just a tangled web of love and guilt, neither able to discern right from wrong, constantly questioning the morality of their emotions.
Both opposite forces that always seem to come hand in hand
