  7. Your favourite ao3 tag.
  8. How slow is a slow burn?
  9. Thoughts on cliffhangers.
  10. Top three favourite fic tropes.
  11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.
  12. If you write in more than one language, what's the difference?
  13. Rate your worldbuilding skills from 1 to 10.

"end up like me"

The me who can't hold on to a relationship? The me who cheated on his girlfriend? The me who jumped into a relationship with someone I barely knew? The me who does stupid, reckless things? The me who left you both when you needed me the most? The me who keeps hurting himself and the people I love? That me? Yeah, I understand why you wouldn't want your kid to end up like me.

"You didn't end up like you"

The you who did everything to save your sister from her abusive husband? The you who found someone to help me take care of him? The you who saved him from a tsunami? The you who improvised a Christmas party when we couldn't go home? The you who clawed at the earth to get me back? The you who got under a truck to save me after I got shot? The you he ran to when he was mad at me? The you he called when I was having a breakdown and who came running no questions asked? The you who makes him cookies and lasagna and who helps him with his homework? The you he begged to come back from a coma after you died? The you I put in my will because I trust you more than anyone else? The you who spares no efforts to help the people he loves? That you? Yeah, I'd be perfectly fine with him ending up like you. In fact, I'd be thrilled! And it breaks my heart that you think otherwise.

there was something so interesting about uk hades/persephone that i cant quite put into words except every single action hades made was him poking persephone for any kind or reaction. whenever he said or did anything he would immediately turn to persephone to see if he was looking at him/how she was reacting. when he goes to find eurydice at the end of chant you can SEE that it was out of nothing but spite. like he wanted persephone to call him on his bluff except she never did so he didnt back down. but the one that got me the most was in why we build the wall. when eurydice rises into hadestown persephone looks sick to her stomach and when he delivers the question 'what do we have that they should want?' he looks directly into persephones eyes. afaik this part is usually delivered to eurydice as a way to indoctrinate her into the hadestown lifestyle but by delivering it to persephone it felt like he was saying this is YOUR fault YOU made her come here by not calling my bluff. 'what do WE have that THEY should want' as in what do we hades and persphone have that orpheus and eurydice want....

Slow burn romance is fine, but slow burn friendship????? With passionate middle aged bureaucrats and depressed emperors and an explicit rejection of amatonormativity and having still accomplished great things and had a fulfilling life despite not meeting the arbitrary cultural milestones of maturity???? And also just like you love ur friends SO much and even your sad boss is now ur bff and there is inexpressible mutual devotion....Oh we Love to see it
