[aparticularbandit]

me: okay but why are the cute mom moments with wendy and not with america

also me: we will get there you know she’s got a good fucking reason for that

me: okay but when

#musings #bandit writes #wanda america fic #LOOK JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THE REASON DOESN'T MEAN #LOOK WE'LL GET GOOD MOM SCARLET WITH AMERICA EVENTUALLY #although i think they're more like siblings at this point #if we're honest #sometimes scarlet angry moms america #or does the equivalent of mama bearing the school (aka wong why didn't you teach her about the snap we're taking her to a better school) #but the /sweet/ moments are more sibling moments #most of their moments are more sibling moments #taunting and angry and fighting #but also they obviously do care about each other #it's just there's a wall there #on both sides #and right now we've seen that scarlet DOES want to mom america #because she HAS #(see above) #but we haven't seen america want her to mom her #and the one time america has noticed scarlet step into that role she's gotten BIG MAD #(for good reason) #so on top of scarlet's OTHER hang-ups (which will hopefully come up in fic) #there's ALSO THAT #she doesn't want to step into a role that she knows america doesn't want her to take #and that's something that isn't unique to america's relationship with scarlet #america gets uncomfortable when she notices laura barton try and mom her too #(she didn't notice with magda idk why) #(maybe because she didn't feel like magda was trying to step into that role) #(she was just THERE) #so there are a LOT of reasons this is taking longer with those two
