I ended up talking a lot about Shuu, but I really do love all of them so much. I just want them to have hilariously maladaptive cohabitation routines where they are both SO SERIOUS about themselves and the entire rest of the cast is just like ?!?!?!?!?!!?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING Like what kind of convalescence interactions are Kazuaki and Shuu even having during this time!! They are both SO INCAPABLE OF RELATING TO EACH OTHER IN WELL-ADJUSTED WAYS that I was charmed in the way that you are charmed when you see something so intractable that it defies understanding. You know what I was also into? That bit during the epilogue where Kazuaki turns up pushing ShuuвЂ™s wheelchair and Sakuya is like ?!?!?! APPLYING ETHICAL GUIDELINES TO EITHER OF YOU IS COMPLETELY FUTILE.

Not even exactly because of AH MY SERIAL KILLER PARTRIDGE DOCTOR LOVER feelings, but moreвЂ“ I just really needed to see what he was about?!? And then it turned out that what he was about was Ryuuji Kawara, which (it would also surprise no one to hear) I was INTO. It is an IMPROBABLE CONFLAGRATION WITH GREAT CHARACTERSВ and it would surprise absolutely no one who is familiar with my terrible track record with character preferences to hear that my first instinct was to make a beeline for Shuu.

But, I mean, itвЂ™s like 95% still there! IвЂ™ve only forgotten some of the intricacies of the BBL route! I have to confess, though, that this is one of those canons/fandoms where my love is composed mostly of the emotional memories that I have from the process of playing the game, not of any recall of actual factual details! I did play it and a short bit of Holiday Star, but I didnвЂ™t actively seek out the fandom or any fanworks, and I think that allowed a lot of the plot to ebb from my brain over time. YOU ARE ALREADY FOLLOWING THIS USER.вЂќ As your foot snags on a floorboard and you come crashing down onto your elbows, the voice dogs your heels through the interminable hallways.В вЂњYOU ARE ALREADY FOLLOWING THIS USER.вЂќ You try to crawl to some sort of escape, one knee after the other, sobbing for breath.В вЂњI DONвЂ™T WANT TO FOLLOW THIS USER,вЂќ you scream, tasting blood in your throat.В вЂњITвЂ™S TOO LATE,вЂќ says the voice.В вЂњYOU ARE ALREADY FOLLOWING THIS USER.вЂќ This is the price you pay for making kind but unwise decisions with your social media accounts! ItвЂ™s kind of like that AO3 Gothic post!В вЂњYOU ARE ALREADY FOLLOWING THIS USER. So everything I say here should probably be read as you picture me shrugging so noncommittally that my shoulders shoot up past my ears. I mean, sure, there are trends! There are waves! But sometimes people do arrive at the same thing via wildly different paths, and having seen that makes me reluctant to come to any kind of conclusion (other than only very tentative suggestions).

I think thatвЂ™s the problem with fan studies academics who arenвЂ™t actually knee-deep in the filth of fandom, but are justвЂ¦ distantly fascinated by fandom theyвЂ™re trying to draw global conclusions by aggregating disparate sets of local phenomena, because they havenвЂ™t run up against how heterogeneous fandom is on the ground level. Even in that regard, thereвЂ™s still more for me to learn! But itвЂ™s really fun to think about how each fandom has its own distinct ecology, how each subsection of that fandom operates under a distinct microclimate, and how each country (or linguistic community) has such different norms of engagement YEAH THATвЂ™S RIGHT THE THIRD ITEM IN THIS LIST DOESNвЂ™T COME WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL METAPHOR It is, of course, also a product of even less remunerative forms of practice and experienceвЂ“ that is to say, too much time in fandom.

If at any point I happen to say something that rings true or seems even vaguely insightful, that is a product of practice and experience and has nothing to do with natural aptitude! Literally I have been trained for more than a decade to read things as a career, and IвЂ™m still slowly learning how to do it better! Excuse you!!!!! First of all, anon, if you ever call yourself that again I will find you on your birthday and I will take from you that which you love the most.
