I like this take. Nothing else to be said. Fic writers (who will not be me this time cuz although I could, I don’t have the time), make it happen
this whole “interesting choice in date” thing was jealousy on both sides and nobody can tell me otherwise
THIS. She’s so queer coded! I literally gaped with the scenes about the conversion camps. They could have used any other set of words, like transformation, or metamorphosis, or wolf shifting! But they said conversion.
And not only did they say conversion camps. But Enid was actively scared to go there. Why would she be scared to go to a camp that is supposed to help werewolves shift? What do they do to them there to try to get them to shift? Not only that, but her mother explicitly tells her ‘don’t you want to shift and finally be normal honey?!’ AND Enid later tells her mother ‘I just hope one day you can finally accept me for who I am’
Enid’s fear of being kicked out of the pack in the first episode, not finding a mate, because she’s not a normal werewolf. That is literally the experience of a queer teen with a family they cannot trust with their identity; being afraid of being kicked out, of never finding someone who will love them, dying alone as the odd one out, etc.
Like. WTF!! That’s literally a queer teen’s way of thinking and speaking.
THERE IS NO WAY THE WRITERS HAVE ADDED ALL THESE DETAILS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN WITHOUT CONSIDERING HOW QUEER IT READS.
They made Enid Sinclair dress is lesbian flag colours the first time we see her and then proceeded to be like look at her relationship with her parents. Look her parents trying to send her to werewolf conversion therapy. They dressed Wednesday and Enid like the two ends of the lesbian fashion spectrum meme. And then have the audacity to try to claim Enid is cis-het???? Sir, that is a queer person!
This is the fantasy novel I’m writing! I’ve been developing this story since it first came to me when I was 14. Now, I’m making the effort to make this dream a reality.
If you want to read a fantasy story with diversity, conflicts, lots of characters, emotional growth, amongst other things, go take a look!
Because we’re on the 2 chapter, and things are about to kick off for real!

Let’s hold each other together as we cry, let’s stain the other with our tears.

Me writing the most traumatic experience for my protagonist:
everyone: what's your goal in life?
me: to write a story so soul snatching, so gut wrenching and so devastatingly beautiful that it leaves you crying at 3am when you have a 8am lecture/shift and it inspires people to write entire essays, to write entire fanfics, mood boards and playlists based on it.
A little thought
Time cuts short whatever reverie I chase, every moment’s rest. Swamped by personal ambitions, the strain of a new semester’s pressures and expectations, and a soon coming trip to Japan, I find myself scrambling for something firm to hold on to.
Not because I’m feeling sadness or agony or overwhelming stress. Well, I am stressed. But what floods me is excitement in the uncertainty for the future and my hopes for it. It stresses me out, of course, makes me anxious.
However, I’m excited to discover what the world may have yet in store for me. At this point in my life, I believe the wicked hand fate dealt me is already over, and we’re now playing a new game. No more horrible events in my life will come to pass, I know. All the strife and grief and sorrow I went through is already over.
Now I’m supposed to heal and look for new paths into the future. Decide which I will take. Whether that is the path to Europe or Asia for my future studies; will I go study in Norway or Japan? And if so, will I study the same thing I do now, or something different?
I worry about my worth and skills to survive in the workforce in a crumbling society where there’s barely any difference between middle and lower class anymore. Where everywhere you go you see divides with no bridges.
Hm. Uncertain but excited. Perhaps for the first time looking forward to an uncertain, unknown future. Isn’t that fascinating?
Soo I liked it so much I colored it!! I’m in love with it. I think I learned a lot about dramatic lightning with this one.
