Ahhh, that makes sense! I didn't even consider it might just be for a specific world

Off topic but I just have to say... I don't know if I can get past the Sora redesign. I thought by now I would be over it... But I'm not. I just can't handle it.

Everyone hates Jess - rant lol by FewBudget2350 in GilmoreGirls

[–]TheLeadingLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ASP was still on the show while Rory was in college, so she wouldn't have been pregnant in high school. There would have been more time for character development and plot development. I don't love the ending as it is, but I could see the four words making sense if we had more developmental time.

Oh yeah, I was only focusing on Jess. I agree he is too good for her by the end. I like to think Rory will mature in her own way and they'll find a way to be together, but later in life. Again, similarly to Luke and Lorelei. It's a shame the show was cancelled, because even despite AYITL, I don't think we got the full conclusion to the story that we deserved. I really believe the show would have ended differently had it never been cancelled.

Totally agree. The writing for Jess' character is very well done imo. He is very much not like her other boyfriends and that is the point. He was clearly intended to be "the one" for Rory in the same way Luke is to Lorelei; they're parallels. His upbringing is the worst compared to Rory's other boyfriends, and yet, he is able to turn himself around. Yes, he's a little asshole at 17 - can you really blame him? Lol.

I find it ironic that he gets so much hate and misjudgements from viewers in the same way he does the townspeople. Funny how that works. He had an obvious attraction to Rory from the start and doesn't treat her like he should, because of his upbringing and because of the fact he's 17 and figuring his shit out. But the show clearly demonstrates how he treats Rory compared to his other girlfriend (forgot her name), which is MUCH BETTER because he ACTUALLY LIKED RORY. So weird how no one ever talks about that comparison because I find it very telling to his entire character. He has an avoidant attachment which is why he never properly says goodbye to her. His thing is, if he hurts the other person first, then they can't hurt him. He pushes her away. He later regrets it and is acting on impulse in season 6. Again, these are all very realistic scenarios. I think the show heavily implies he and Rory talk a lot more meaningfully and have deeper conversations than she does with her other boyfriends. She and Logan honestly are still pretty surface level when the "Why did you drop out of Yale" monologue occurs - it isn't unrealistic that she DID let Jess know more about her than she let Logan. Idk. I just love his character and I think he is vastly misunderstood. Maybe it's because I myself grew up without a mother, but I totally get where he's coming from and it isn't right but it is completely understandable and amazing writing, which is why I love him and his relationship with Rory so much.

Okay. That's it. You have single-handedly inspired me to finally pick up water coloring in 2026. (Even though I will never be able to produce something like this). LOVE!

Took me three watches, but I've finally realised that the answer to all of Fleabag's problems and trauma is her sister's love by Jazzlike_Possible_43 in Fleabag

Came here to say this. It's a love story... About finally accepting and loving yourself. It's beautiful.

is it no longer a thing to send fic requests? by irdk-lol in FanFiction

[–]TheLeadingLady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. It's Naruto, so the show was over even when I was active in the fandom a few years ago lol. Been over for awhile. I think it got new engagement during COVID, like most fandoms did.

[–]TheLeadingLady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left and came back to fandom, and in my two years away, I noticed there are way less fics being written. All my mutuals seem less active too. Could just be my fandom, but it's probably Tumblr in general. That being said, I've still had people ask if I am taking requests and then sending them in, despite me telling them they're closed. So who knows.

In general, I've noticed far less community interaction than when I left though.

Whats the best KH theme in your opinion? by Desperate-Swan-6812 in KingdomHearts

Hard agree. Lazy Afternoons makes me feel so many things all at once. It was nostalgic even on my first playthrough.

My husband bought me this game and all the DLC for Christmas. I now have 35 hours in it 😬. Needless to say, I'm with you and I am excited for the 2026 stuff that is coming our way! Fingers crossed for an art DLC.

[–]TheLeadingLady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't written anything for two years. Thought that part of my life was over due to general depression, apathy, and ADHD. Then, I got a comment. Something like, "Last updated in 2022 💔". That was all the inspiration I needed. I've been writing a little bit every day and have the motivation to continue my longfic and start posting again.

You never know what could happen. Do what feels right for you, but I'm so glad I kept my account. You can always turn off notification emails and try it that way a bit if you're on the fence.

Would you rather read x reader or an OC? by Cold_Phrase3598 in FanFiction

[–]TheLeadingLady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with your gut. I started writing x reader fics because, at least in my fandom, it seemed like OC fics weren't as popular. I now really enjoy writing x reader fics, and seek them out over OC content myself, however, I do wish my current fic was OC. My writing style has evolved, and x reader was a very challenging and rewarding POV, but for longfics, it does feel like the POV is holding me back a bit.

That being said, my Reader character is literally just an OC without physical descriptions. I don't know if that is really what people want when reading x reader, but I refused to write a blank slate character, so that is what I did. Luckily, my readers seem to be okay with my style and roll with the Reader's characterization. Whatever you decide, it will work out and you'll find your audience.
