That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.
Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."
The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.
And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?
#love how they manipulated people into spreading that post by making it seem like a cishet vs gay thing#when the real message is OP thinks trying to sell your writing is cringe and 'weird' and 'normal people' with jobs would never#which would of course never have flown on the fandom website#so they played into the queer shipping is purer than cishet shipping puriteen thing#and it worked!#because my god people are gullible#this is the direct pipeline that leads to AI thievery#''normal' people write for the joy of it anyway so why do you need pay? you are just greedy and 'weird'!'#'oh no this isn't about who we get to call cringe and who gets to profit from art it's about um...#(quick what's a hated m/f ship?).. oh uh 'shitty' REYLO#and not our super pure uh... (spirk is still popular right? lets throw in that avengers one too to make it seem timely) stucky!'#I'm sorry if I have no sense of humor about this but the year is 2024 and people are still way too ready to sneer#about writers trying to earn a fucking living in the shittiest timeline#and i need you to look deep into yourself and ask you why it's so important to you to tell yourself that only people writing what you like#are 'normal' with real jobs and to vilify everyone else as 'weird' and 'shitty'#for trying to make an income during a financial fucking crisis#i would say sorry for ranting about this but I'm not sorry because wtf#write whatever you want#publish whatever you want#there is no moral fucking purity in what the content is#and one thing certainly doesn't make you more 'weird' or 'normal' than the other#like there is soooo much shitty mlm that started as fanfic???#that post is 100% OP made up some guys to get mad about and called them relyos for the clicks#writing#publishing#writblr#writeblr#i wasn't going to tag this anything but you know what fuck it I'm mad#i had like 5 more tags but tumblr cut me off which is fair 😅#fan fiction

when you really think abt it it's kinda funny that fyolai is considered one of the big classic ships almost everyone is into in bsd bc they literally have more extra content than canon interactions. they literally met three times in the main story (one of them only shown to us in a flashback) yet nikolai alone managed to be gay enough to propel them into greatness

just a friendly and in no way accusatory of anyone on here reminder that you should be really careful and mindful on here of who you engage with on here and how much you trust them! pay attention to red flags! if someone wants things from you like your name or pictures or access to your life and refuses to grant you the same access to theirs, be weary! if someone is explicility soliciting for younger and less experienced people to contact them, be weary! if someone is trying to place themselves in a position of power above you immediately by saying that you need to “impress them” to keep their attention, be weary! if someone is trying to say that you need to have no boundaries and never tell them no in order to be a good partner for them, be weary! if someone looking to have explicit personal access to your life via things like home cameras, be fucking weary about who you’re giving that access to and comprehend how people might be able to profit off of your trust, especially if they were anonymous and you didn’t have any information to report to the police about them if you found out they were abusing your trust!

A Carolinalysis
Caroline was Cave Johnson’s assistant in the days of Aperture’s glory. We find her in the pre-recorded messages in Old Aperture. Later we piece together she was turned into GLaDOS. Caroline doesn’t show up much, her main appearance being in the pre-recorded messages, besides GLaDOS, who isn’t just a person, but also a supercomputer with programming and a job to do (and no emotional reaction to murder),
So what can we glean about Caroline from these pre-recorded messages?
1: WIT AND PASSION FOR SCIENCE, AND HOW THEY INTERACT:
Caroline’s sense of wit is apparent, with her “Good-bye, Caroline,” joke. It’s even a prominent enough quality that carried all the way over to GLaDOS. In fact, Caroline’s general tone during the pre-recorded messages fits her behavior on Portal 1 quite well. In Portal, GLaDOS is quite businesslike in manner, with the occasional joke here and there, such as when she yelled ‘Weeeee’ during one of the puzzles involving terminal velocity. Cave describes Caroline as the backbone of the facility, which shows when she steers Mr. Johnson away from the topic of Black Mesa with her simple utterance “Sir, the testing?” As GLaDOS puts it, she’s in it for the science. Caroline was passionate about science, like GLaDOS. But even while doing this, she maintains plenty of humor. Despite her businesslike approach to science, she still loves to drop in a joke. (Again, “Good-bye, Caroline.”)
2: HUMAN TESTING AND CAROLINE’S MORALS:
Her time at Aperture also shows that she condoned or at the very least tolerated the less-than-ethical human testing Aperture ran. I saw someone suggest that GLaDOS was subconsciously projecting that onto Chell when she said “You’re not a good person, you know. Good people don’t end up here.”
But what’s interesting is that Aperture Science testing gets less and less ethical as time goes on. It’s never great, but the participants are at least there willingly–astronauts, war-heroes, and Olympians–albeit they seem misinformed about what’s going on, and constantly put in danger without their knowledge, which carries over to all the lower-quality test subjects after them. Once they couldn’t afford to pay these elite testers, however, Cave takes to finding homeless people and dragging them to Aperture, forcing them to sign a hefty, suspicious contract. Finally he makes testing a requirement for all employees, which takes a toll as his company loses workers. He resolves to phase out of human testing. 
One could make the argument that, literally being the facility, GLaDOS’s views are not a reliable source. You could also make a solid argument that she approved of it, since she steered Cave Johnson back on track to the topic of testing. Besides, Cave Johnson planned on leaving the facility's in Caroline's hands when he died. If she had just been kept in the dark about it, he wouldn't do that.
9/8/2023 Edit: I discovered that Caroline has unused lines saying "Hide the bodies, Mister Johnson," and "No one will notice a few missing astronauts, Mister Johnson," so it's safe to say Aperture's human testing was both condoned and aided by her. (Well, it's called girl power, not girl ethics!)
3: IN RELATION TO CAVE:
At first, it doesn’t look bad. Cave compliments Caroline, calling her “a gem,” “pretty as a postcard,” etc. But that’s not the only reason he likes her; he also states she is “the backbone of the facility.” The dynamic seems fine at first glance. But as Cave’s life neared its end, we got a glimpse of something darker.
There is unused dialogue in which Caroline protests that “Mister Johnson, I don’t want this!” This is generally accepted to be her protests against running Aperture, or being turned into a computer, since Cave claims she’ll “say she can’t” because she’s “modest.” “You make her!” Cave orders, in a pre-recorded message that will play “a million times a day," adding the scientists could "put her in my computer, I don't care" if he "dies before they can pour him into a computer."
This shows us that, while Cave seemed to have a deep respect for Caroline, she is still the assistant, and he is still the boss. There is a power imbalance in their relationship.
And there’s something so poetic about how this dialogue goes unused. We never hear Caroline’s protests, either out loud or in the pre-recorded messages. We never hear them anywhere without poking around in the code. Her protests are suppressed, hidden, and locked away. In the end, we never hear them because it doesn’t matter to anyone what Caroline wanted. It mattered to them what Cave wanted. But her cries are still there. Untouched. Begging for someone to pay attention.
Caroline is also shown to be admiring of Cave. Throughout the entire game, GLaDOS is nothing but cool and calculating. But when Cave gives his lemon speech, GLaDOS is overcome with zeal, suggesting they “not take these lemons,” that they “march right up there and MAKE HIM [Wheatley] put me back in my body” and that “he’ll probably kill us because he’s incredibly powerful and I have no plan! The odds are a million to one and that’s with some generous rounding.” Just hearing Cave yell about his problems is enough to motivate GLaDOS to do something idiotic and dangerous, despite her usual intelligence. And, once GLaDOS is out of Cave’s direct sphere of influence, she makes a more solid plan, though still not “the most watertight,” due to the difficult circumstances. The reason for Caroline’s admiration seems to be that he “says what we’re all thinking,” according to GLaDOS, in reference to him threatening to burn Life’s house down. This suggests Cave was able to quickly rile up the usually sensible Caroline, due to her intense admiration for his attitude.
They were both passionate about science, but they were two halves of the same coin. Caroline was strategic, sensible, may I say the backbone of the facility; Cave was the spirit of the facility, always enthusiastic, impulsive, and erratic in his interactions with his science. 
4: CAROLINE DELETED? WHAT EXACTLY IS GLaDOS?/SHE WAS A LOT LIKE YOU
GLaDOS is made up of Caroline, her program, and whatever cores are attached to her at the moment. If GLaDOS deleted Caroline, she’d be killing herself. It’s like deleting System 34. From this we discover that GLaDOS lied, or tried to delete Caroline and failed,  and Caroline is still very much a part of her. It’s even hinted with “Now little Caroline is in here too” in “Want You Gone.” 
Speaking of “Want You Gone,” in that very song GLaDOS mentions Caroline was “A lot like you [Chell].” Chell’s most prominent personality trait is her unusual, even deranged, drive and tenacity. From this we can gather that Caroline was probably a determined woman.
CONCLUSION:
In conclusion, Caroline was the witty, tenacious, science-loving assistant of Cave Johnson with iffy morals and a knack for keeping Aperture and Cave on track. Cave forced her to run Aperture and ordered her to be put in his computer. The scientists presumably murdered her and poured her consciousness into GLaDOS, deprived of her memories. After flooding the facility with neurotoxin and testing happily for years, Chell killed her, thus leading to the events of Portal 2, where she journeys to her old home and reunites with her memories of Caroline once again. What a character. Do you think she would have liked the pun in the title?

Music I think Roy Kent likes and why
Madonna. In season 3, episode 3, Roy said, "[Pre-Madonna] means before Madonna, female vocalists didn't have to work that hard." This implies a great respect for Madonna and her craft. Also, it's an example of a very specific kind of queer guy misogyny that I find very humorous and implicative (of him being queer).
The Sex Pistols (and other punk rock). Two of their songs are in the Ted Lasso soundtrack. One of them specifically plays when Roy is about to do some pundit work for the first time. I think it's meant to be his hype up music. They're also, of course, anti-fascist and anti-monarchy, which I think Roy would vibe with. He's giving punk.
The music of the Muppets. Canonically (not that I necessarily consider this kind of thing canon, lol) a Muppets fan, I think he'd love the soundtracks to the movies, as well as the numbers they do on the original show.
Rap; Salt-n-Pepa, Queen Latifah, and Beyoncé. I just think he would like them. In season 1, episode 6, Keeley mentions that he has rapped, implying at least some interest in the genre.
Leonard Cohen. I think Roy's Jewish, and he's a broody, sensual bitch. It adds up perfectly. Sidenote: while "She's a Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones was a great choice for the song he runs home to football to, I think Cohen's "Ain't No Cure for Love" would've fucking slayyyed..."I loved you for a long, long time / I know this love is real / It don't matter how it all went wrong / That don't change the way I feel / And I can't believe that time is gonna heal / This wound that I'm speaking of" "I've got you like a habit / And I'll never get enough" "I don't need to be forgiven / For loving you so much"
Klezmer. Again, if Roy is Jewish, and we know he loves and misses his grandad...it's simple. He HAS a record player and a dope sound system, and on his shelves there ARE old klezmer records that he remembers dancing around to with his grandad in their old flat.
Amy Winehouse. Again, if Roy is Jewish, and we know he is broody and bitchy, it is a given. "Rehab" is his anthem when his knee gets bad and he is reluctant to treat it.
Disco; Donna Summer and Jessie Ware. It's just great workout music, and it slays, and if he's queer, well, yes, of course he likes disco.
Pop rock; Elton John and Queen. If he's queer...it's a given. I think he particularly likes "I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself" and "Rocket Man", as he is suicidal (I can't find the interview where Goldstein said this) (it's just Word of God anyway), and the most rocket man motherfucker ever.
The music of the people he loves; Led Zeppelin, Cream, Tina Turner, and Stevie Nicks. Phoebe, Keeley, and Jamie like these musicians. He's a caring uncle, boyfriend, and friend. He is listening and learning. Also, I think Phoebe would be into some weird stuff, like outsider music - maybe some Tiny Tim. I think Roy would also enjoy the music of other friends, from plenty of other genres.

So I should be writing two other posts, but I’ve been inspired to write out a little “Renu’s headcanon Kirby lore” thing about…
Adeleine’s eternal youth
Enjoy
Ribbon wasn’t helping set up for the celebration of the saving of Ripple Star like she knew she should be. She was one of the most important members of fairy society. The Guardian of the Crystal. But she had also been on the entire journey to save the entire universe from destruction, and she needed a break. She looked out of the window of the palace library at the late afternoon scenery. Outside she could see crowds of fairies and some delegates from other planets walking up to a small stage that had been set up for the heroes to give speeches and accept thank-yous on. Ribbon could barely make her out because of how far away the stage was, but she knew she was up there.
Adeleine was the nicest person Ribbon had ever met, and she was so different from everyone else she knew. Adeleine didn’t dress like a girl, and she was tougher than nearly every fairy Ribbon had ever known. She was tall, and could make living paintings. She seemed to be the only member of her kind left. Ribbon sighed as she flipped through the book on lesser known species in the universe. There was nothing about humans in it. She set it down and fluttered back up the shelves. There had to be something. She looked over the titles of books, but didn’t find anything that might have something about humans in it.
“Ribbon? Shouldn’t you be out with your friends?” someone behind her asked, startling her. Ribbon spun around, her wings flittering much faster than normal. Hovering behind her was Velveteen, one of the many fairies that lived in and helped maintain the palace.
“I live here, Vel,” Ribbon said. “Nobody is going to ask me questions.” Velveteen rolled her eyes.
“Ribbon, we all want to know what that battle against Zero Two was like. And you were the only one there besides that overgrown rubber ball!” Velveteen said. Ribbon crossed her arms.
“Don’t call him that, for one,” she said. “His name is Kirby and he’s very nice.” Ribbon looked at the bookshelves beside her and back to Velveteen. “And I’m… also looking for a book. It’s important.” Velveteen perked up.
“What kind of book?” she asked. Ribbon took a deep breath.
“A book with any information at all about humans,” she began. “I met one on this whole journey. She’s possibly the last one there is in the whole universe, but there must have been more of them before. I just need to find out any information on them I can, because she doesn’t really know anything herself.” Velveteen closed her eyes, and then snapped her fingers and pointed at Ribbon.
“Follow me,” she said, flying to the other side of the library. Ribbon followed, watching Velveteen as she flew to a row of dusty looking books that was tucked away into a dimly lit corner. She looked over them, and pulled out a smaller, not very thick book and handed it to Ribbon. She looked at it, wiping some of the dust off the cover.
“‘What are Humans, Anyway?’” Ribbon read off the cover. She looked down at the bottom of the book and gasped. “Queen Ethereal!? How old is this thing?!” Velveteen shrugged.
“A good few millennia,” she said. “But that should have the answers of whatever you’re looking for. Unless it’s about what happened to them. It probably predates the mass extinction.” Ribbon frowned. She wasn’t looking for answers about that, as Shiver Star and Adeleine’s jumpy behavior there was enough to tell her how they all died out.
“Thanks, Vel,” Ribbon said, holding the book close. Velveteen nodded and flew out of the library. Ribbon make her way back over to the small book she had been reading at, and opened the book. She coughed as a cloud of dust billowed up, and blinked rapidly. The table of contents seemed fairly generic, and wasn’t informative at all. Ribbon had heard that Queen Ethereal was empty headed, so she wasn’t surprised about that too much. She flipped through the pages, until she found what she was looking for.
“‘Humans, being a type of large mammal, have very short lifespans,’” she read, her voice cracking as she did. “The typical lifespan of a human seems to be 80 years. They also age very rapidly, which seems to cause this. As such, it’s advised to not get too attached to them.” The dusty old pages of the book quickly became damp as Ribbon weeped. 80 years. That couldn’t be right. It couldn’t be. Adeleine was so full of life. Ribbon shut the book and put it back where it used to be, landing on the edge of the shelf and flicking her wings to kick up some dust so it didn’t look like it was touched. She fluttered back over to the rest of the books she had grabbed and stuffed them back in their spots, wiping tears from her eyes the whole time. She sighed heavily and turned to leave, when the door to the library creaked open slightly.
“Ribbon? Are you still in here?” Ribbon snapped to attention immediately, blinking the tears from her eyes. Queen Ripple carefully walked into the library, closing the door behind her.
“Yes, your majesty,” Ribbon said. Ripple waved a droopy sleeve at her.
“I told you not to call me that,” she said. “I was just looking for you because everyone else is out there, and you… aren’t.” Ribbon shrugged.
“Didn’t feel like it,” she said. Ripple tilted her head, eyeing Ribbon.
“Really now,” Ripple said. “You seem upset.” Ribbon knew she shouldn’t lie to the queen. She sighed, and flew back over to the place she had been sitting, curling up in one of the soft beanbags. She could feel that she was about to cry again. Ripple sat down in a chair across from her.
“I… It’s…” Ribbon stammered, choking on her words. “Adeleine. She… She’s my best friend. She’s so kind and funny and creative. But… But humans only live for 80 years. Eight zero. That’s… That’s not fair!” Ribbon buried her face in the beanbag, sobbing. She wasn’t sure how long she cried for, but after a while, she felt Ripple gently touch her between her wings.
“That’s horrible, Ribbon,” she said. “But you have her now.” Ribbon violently shook her head.
“But I want her to be my friend forever…” Ribbon said shakily, her wings twitching. Ripple tapped her foot and ran her fingers over the sides of her glasses, which were both tells she was nervous or overwhelmed. She brought her hands together, and sparks of silvery-pink magic crackled in the area above them.
“There isn’t really anything we can do,” she said. Ribbon shook her head and sat up.
“Yeah there is,” she said, and Ripple turned to look at her, her massive wings pointing up.
“What would that be?” she asked. Ribbon cleared her throat and fluttered up to be eye level with Ripple.
“You’re magic,” Ribbon said. “All of us fairies are, but you especially. You can probably just make her stop getting older!” Ripple’s eyes widened in shock. She looked at her hands.
“Ribbon, I’m not sure how that would work,” Ripple said. “I don’t even remember I am magic most of the time.” Ribbon looked down in thought.
“How does your magic work?” Ribbon asked. She had never actually seen Ripple do any magic before. Ripple waved her hand in a circle.
“I just think about something happening to an object or person while touching them, and it happens,” she explained. “Also creating small defensive shields or picking up things without needing to touch them. I’m not close to being full grown yet, so obviously my skills are much more limited now.” Ribbon fluttered closer to Ripple, who took a step back.
“So just think about making Adeleine never get any older and live forever,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “Please.” Ribbon was shaking. She knew of one other thing she could try, but she wasn’t willing to risk it unless Ripple stubbornly refused. But she was the Crystal’s guardian and now one of the saviors of the universe, and Ripple was always kind. Ripple nodded.
“Alright,” she said. “When I give them the medals at the ceremony later tonight, I’ll do it.” Ribbon smiled, tears welling up in her eyes, and zipped over to Ripple, hugging her.
“Thank you, Queen Ripple,” she said, crying tears of joy. “Thank you thank you thank you thank you.” She heard Ripple laugh, and then she hugged her back.
“Just Ripple,” she said. Ribbon giggled. She was ecstatic. Adeleine would be okay.
The ceremony was significantly less crowded than what Ribbon had been expecting. All of the people from other planets had left after the initial meeting with the heroes. There were still plenty of fairies though, all of whom understood the importance of ceremonies, especially when crystals were involved as a gift. Ribbon was fluttering around in one of the many halls that led out from the main hall, currently being blocked off by guards with pointy spears made of crystals.
Ribbon peeked out again to see her four friends standing up on the stage, and Ripple behind the stage, taking medals from another fairy who flew off. Ripple looked over and saw Ribbon, and beckoned her over. Ribbon flew over as fast as she could, and hovered beside Ripple. Fanfare played as Ripple began walking up the side stairs, and Ribbon stayed close to her. Ripple presented all of the heroes with a medal. Dedede stuck out his chest as Ripple put his on, and Waddle Dee’s was far too big for him and just fell to the floor. Ripple loosely draped Adeleine’s medal over her, and then put Kirby’s form fitting one on. Ribbon looked nervously at Ripple. She hadn’t done it. She looked over at Kirby, and fluttered up to him, giving him a small kiss as a show of appreciation for all he had done. Kirby didn’t say a word, but blushed deeply and walked across the stage giddily, nearly falling down the stairs.
“Watch out!” Waddle Dee yelled, but Kirby had already tumbled down them. There were a few laughs in the audience. Ribbon looked away bashfully. That was entirely her fault. She looked back over to see Ripple stopping Adeleine from falling after him trying to grab him. She put a hand on Adeleine’s chest close to her heart, and Ribbon saw the sparkles of magic. Adeleine didn’t seem to notice, instead adjusting her medal.
“Now that’s what I call crashing a party,” Dedede said, pointing at Kirby. There was an uproar from the audience, and both Waddle Dee and Adeleine rolled their eyes. Ripple waved both of her hands, her sleeves falling over them as she did.
“Everyone, thank you for attending,” she said. “This is a very special occasion, but I’m sure you’ve all already heard it. Our planet has been freed of Dark Matter, and the rest of the universe saved from it, thanks to these lovely heroes. Including our very own Ribbon!” Everyone cheered, and Ribbon smiled and waved to the crowd. “Now, enough with the thematics. Everyone, make your way to the dining hall for a feast befit for the saviors of the world!” Everyone moved to the hall to the left, with Waddle Dee helping Kirby up, who excitedly ran to the dining hall. Ribbon stayed with Ripple, who followed after everyone else.
“Thank you,” Ribbon said, nearly crying again. Ripple gave her a small smile.
“If it makes you this happy, it couldn’t possibly be bad,” Ripple replied. Ribbon nodded, and flew after her friends. Everyone was already being seated, with the heroes near the head of the table. Ribbon took the seat right next to Adeleine, who had picked up her spoon and was running it over the table as if it were a paintbrush and the table a canvas. She looked over at Ribbon and smiled.
“Hi Ribbon!” she said. “Where were you earlier?” Ribbon flicked her wings and waved a hand dismissively.
“Just doing my required ‘Guardian of the Great Crystal of Ripple Star’ stuff,” she said. Adeleine laughed.
“You should’ve been out there,” Adeleine told her. “Everyone was so nice! I mean, they asked some weird questions. Like about wh… well, that doesn’t really matter.” Ribbon could tell what it was based off how her tone changed. Someone asked her about the extinction of humanity. Ribbon smiled to herself. Now they would never have to worry about humans truly going extinct.
“Hey Adeleine?” Ribbon asked. Adeleine looked at her inquisitively.
“Yeah?” she replied, her beret slightly falling off her head.
“You’re my best friend!” Ribbon declared. Adeleine smiled wider than Ribbon had seen her smile.
“You’re my best friend too!” she said. Ribbon giggled, and kicked her feet happily while her wings fluttered.
“We’ll be best friends forever,” Ribbon said. Adeleine smiled at that. She didn’t understand the serious weight they had to them.
“Forever is a long time,” Adeleine said, “are you sure about that?” Ribbon laughed to herself.
“I’m absolutely certain,” Ribbon said very matter of factly. “Forever.” Adeleine gently tussled Ribbon’s hair, and Ribbon stuck her wings out and immediately went to fix it. As she did, the food was brought out, and everyone began to eat. Adeleine grabbed a small sandwich off a passing by plate and scarfed it down. Ribbon grabbed a bowl of fruit salad, and watched Adeleine as she talked with Dedede across the table. Her eyes were full of bright, youthful energy.
And Ribbon didn’t even have to cherish it in that moment.
Wow that was a lot longer than I intended it to be, whoops
So uhh… yeah. Ribbon just really likes her new friend. Adeleine never really finds out about this. She isn’t even aware of how much time is going by. Also yes, Ribbon is supposed to seem ever so slightly sinister! Fairies aren’t usually the good guys in folklore, you know
Adeleine only finds out much, much later on when she says she can’t believe so much has happened in just a couple years and is informed that it’s been centuries years since Zero Two was an issue. Susie then tells her that she should be much older than she is, and Adeleine obviously has a freak out over that
But does she ever find out it was Ribbon..?
(Also because you liked this concept and were the one who actually finally gave me the motivation [and set up] to post it- @desultory-novice. Obviously had to compress it a ton in that comment because of character limit)
“Hey Ribbon?” Adeleine asked her fairy friend as they laid in the grass. Everyone else was at Dedede’s castle welcoming the Beast Pack to visit, but Adeleine wanted nothing to do with anything related to the New World. Instead she had decided to go out into the fields with Ribbon and spend the day that way.
“Yeah?” Ribbon replied. Adeleine twiddled her thumbs as she looked up at the sunny blue sky of Pop Star.
“How long is forever?”
