That’s the problem with memory bound by emotion. Love is diffuse. It so easily becomes entangled in every aspect of the human experience. Extracting it with any amount of elegance can get…dicey.

Hey same! First ever Ari single-drop buddies lol. No fr as someone who’s never been part of a pop fandom before it’s really funny to see the stan wars in action. Like personally, I really like the song, I love when artists try new things and she has very good reason to write something like this given the insanity people have put her through, makes total sense that she described it as being very personal and important to her. Plus her harmonies are always to die for, so I’m just fully enjoying it over here.

But then yeah, exactly lol you’ve got all these very intense factions in the Petal Civil War goin, with the people who are like BETRAYED that the one(1) single she’s dropped so far is different from the music she made when she was like 20 or whatever and are ready to light themselves on fire in protest, and then you’ve got the people who are like this is the most brilliant piece of music ever written Mozart WISHES he came up with something this genius, and then you’ve got the people who are like omgggg this song is just like me and my boyfriend 💅💋🌼 #summervibes #darkromance #thisiswhatmakesusgirls

And all of these people are gonna eat each other.

And you know whose fault that is?

That’s right.

will u be continuing ur fic, The everyday illusion. i read it a few months ago, and even tho it only has 4 chaps it’s been stuck on my mind fully. i love anything u write anywho.

Hi! This is really funny timing actually because I was working on Brighter Days Inc. earlier today and had to click back to chapter 1 for a continuity check, and I saw my very optimistic lil a/n at the bottom where I was like I’m gonna work on Brighter Days and The Everyday Illusion at the same time it’ll be great I'm totally capable of workin on mutliple fics at once 😃🤡😃🤡🙃💀

Anyway it made me kinda nostalgic and I clicked on TEI for a lil reread and like…okay! I forgot how fun it was! And how much fun I had writing it!

So…short answer…Ideally I would LOVE to return to TEI eventually. But Brighter Days has my sole focus right now, like I really need people to understand, esp people who get worried when several weeks go by in between updates. When it comes to Brighter Days, I am not giving up. Brighter Days is a vicious bloodthirsty alligator I am locked in a deadly wrestling match with, and this alligator’s only goal in life is to kill me specifically - I either wrestle it into the ground and stab it through the jugular, or it eats me alive. Those are my options, not even exaggerating, I have to keep wrestling this massive girl-eating beast or it will bite my beautiful face off and then devour the rest of my precious bod and it’ll be so gruesome and disgusting and no one will even feel sorry for me because it’s fanfic and I’m the one who wrote the alligator into existence in the first place, like bitch maybe think before making a whole ass alligator next time, DON’T MAKE A WHOLE ASS ALLIGATOR. So like. I HAVE to finish Brighter Days before I write anything else. ASSUMING I SURVIVE, I would love to return to TEI, I feel like workin on something a bit more lighthearted might be good for me after this whole alligator sitch.
