THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! this will be a fic journal
i need to #touch grass but im gonna fix this up soon trust

oh my god Maps where do I even start.

Killing off Aoi was so incredibly painful, and even though I read Maps for the first time long before March 10th, 2026, I still feel it even more strongly now. I genuinely cannot begin to put into words how life-changing this fic was, and I hope wherever you are, wondrous CryingMinotaur, that you are safe and comfortable, and are not still inside any of the terrible and painful stories you must've endured to create your writings.

I'm about to start Earthlings (05/10/26) and I hope I can stay faithful to updating this as I progress. Expect not.

Different topic entirely, though still somewhat compulsory to have on this rentry: my thoughts on RPF. RPF, or real-person fiction, is fanfiction written about or featuring real individuals. Personally, I think of the bandom fanfiction that I read and write as more of a universe written around stage personas, which are more readily seperated from the real humans that lay beneath. I do not enjoy, for example, many GazettE fics where the characters real names' are in use (ex: Takanori instead of Ruki).
To be quite honest, aside from that personal preference, I really don't care what you read or write as long as you don't go against bandmen's explicit boundaries.

Day 1 of Earthlings: not as sad as I expected yet, though I'm only a few thousand words in. I can see the setup already... what with Toshi's dad and the foreshadowing there. I really hope we meet Die soon, I always love CM's Die.
