#unfortunate.

Even the most popular fanfiction doesn't have the same level of impact as a mainstream book/movie/show and that's important to remember but encountering the Very Popular Fics in a new fandom does also tend to give me those 'there are women in my yellow wallpaper' feelings. Oh I loved this thing let's see what people have written—WHAT.

watching roadhouse drunk in my hotel room, and who the hell cares about this patrick swayze fella, sam elliot is right there

watching willow be so excited to be in college and then immediately experience a heartbreaking event and subsequently have such an intense and intensely self-centered emotional breakdown that no one wants to be around her and THEN falling in love at warp speed with a big eyed girl who believes in her is like yeah okay. yeah. yeah why did we ever think we were the buffy in this situation

so apparently the first step of becoming something you never imagined is to outgrow everything you have ever loved

ok i have some level of parasocial hatred for this clavicular guy, like all that energy ppl use to "sympathise" with him for idk being a stupid little chud, is better used for women in general but nooooOOOOOOoooooo, annoying people will type out the sentence "i feel maternal towards him" unironically
