#my baaaaad for rambling so mucchhhhh
Note
late ask BUT director's cut for a home for two?
fuck, anon. you don't know what can of worms you just opened.
i was going to keep this concise to one point but upon rereading it for the first time in a while i just....have too much to say about a home for two.
it's my all time favorite fic ive ever written, if it's not obvious.
firstly, i want to bring up these snippets (STARTING OFF STRONG....SORRY)
these were the moments where error finally started opening up to paperjam. and they mean a lot to me.
his personality is finally starting to shine through; his stubbornness and hotheaded-ness. it's the moments where it was clear that this kid wasn't as closed off as paperjam thought and had a personality masked by trauma and anxiety.
after so much struggle, seeing his personality finally peak through sends pj (and hopefully the reader) into fondness.
i love the little details. I KNOW I WROTE IT. but i love the little details.
these snippets were the moments where error started expressing his safety and trust towards pj
he's really made a lot of progress over the course of the few days in the fic, and seeing him finally feel the safety and love he deserves makes me so....AGH. AAGRGRGHG.
the entire fic is so tense and mildly stressful that finally writing down error's new found stability makes me so mushy and gushy!! god
i didn't emphasize it a lot but paperjam really didn't talk to error like most people would towards a four-year-old.
and that's not a bad thing! in fact, the opposite!
this is partly because paperjam is unprepared and does not know how to talk to children, but talking to kids like real, actual people and not dumbing everything down for them is actually really beneficial to their learning and growth process! (iirc, that is)
this scene and the dialogue earlier in it also really showed paperjam's frustrations. he's not perfect in any way, and he almost took it out then and there on error through a stern talking.
neither of it was their fault, of course. just a lot of misplaced love and stress from everything.
i like making my characters feel like people. and pj is such.....a person. i love him dearly.
i could gush about toriel forever in any instance about the way she acts like such a mom, not just this fic. but mostly this fic.
i love toriel. if i could grab every toriel scene in the fic, i would. but one example is enough, and this one shows the best of her.
her fondness, her motherly attitude, her jokes, and her pride towards pj. god i love toriel in this fic i LOVE TORIEL DREEMURR!!!!!!!!!!
i just think this is important. :p
"holy shit they said the thing"
i think title drops are funny lol
ANYWAY YEAH. i had a lot to say about it LOL. i love a home for two and i reread my fics a lot, and this one is the one i reread the most. im so so so proud of it.
