you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.
its so funny when people expect system alters to be distinct and obvious. like what do you want, a magic girl transformation?
The most interesting thing about Ash and Yut-Lung's relationship to me is the potential that never got realized and the regrets that may come from that.
They were so alike and could have helped each other but that didn't happen. Instead Yut-Lung teamed up with Dino and tried to ruin Ash's life out of petty jealousy. And I have a lot of sympathy for Yut-Lung and I know why he logically would choose to side with an already established powerful person if he wanted his brothers out of the way, and I know how his bitterness toward Ash and Eiji comes from how hurt he's been in the past. But he still did those things and kept going after Ash despite how he'd done basically nothing to him.
And the thing is that Yut-Lung gets to survive. He has Sing who cares about him and wants him to do better. And I wonder if in the future, when he's older and a potentially more sensitive person, if he has regrets. Does he think about how he could've had someone else who would understand him and maybe even care about him? Does he regret burning that bridge before he even noticed it was there?
Simply put, so much could have happened but none of it did and that's the tragedy of it all.
