been
exceedingly mentally unwell about Trigun, especially Knives and Legato because I don't know how to pick a popular fucking ship sometimes and like, whatever, I don't care, because this is where I am. Because I sat down to work on homework yesterday and thought I could write a little bit of fanfic as a warmup. Because I
couldn't just write it as a warmup and I couldn't stop myself, either.
And because now it's 11 am and I went to sleep at 4 am because I
did finish what I was writing and it is absolutely one of the best things I've written- not just of this ship or even Trigun but in
general: it is fantastic.
It's everything I've been playing around with in terms of experimental formatting and blending prose + poetry + snippets of weirdness and it's a beautiful culmination of years of practice and going to school for this sort of thing.
It's "I've been writing fanfiction for 20+ years and I finally feel like it shows in the best way"
It's "I've been writing since before I understood how important it is and it shows"
It's "I've been writing and writing and writing and writing and now I'm here and I want all of you to experience it with me"
It's being obsessed with characters and a ship that is grossly overlooked and deciding that no, that's not good enough: I can't stop thinking about them and I'm gonna make it
everyone's problem.
