ykw. kind of canāt believe no one has ever written a like, different meeting AU? where Tashi was the childhood friend, and Art or Patrick are the newcomer in the relationship. i should consider that
#N posts stuff#had the thought that what I Should do is make this an āAccidents of Natureā AU. in spirit if not direct contribution#BUT if you try to apply the canon dynamics to that concept it Doesnāt really work#the crux of the film is that Patrick and Art have shit to learn from Tashi <- both on and off the court#not that she doesnāt get Any learning experiences out of their relationship and not in like some vapid Girlboss way#but Tashi is the one who Knows tennis and sheās also the one who reads them in like 5 seconds flat and gets them making out#with each other not even 3 minutes later like You Know What I Mean ??lmao#i was already sort of thinking like why am I boxing myself into a sports injury corner for Tashi?#she could also have a disabled childhood in this AU if i wanted her to. and honestly i think that could be fun#an AU where Tashi and Patrick are the ones who have known each other for years and Art is new to everything#i could wring an Accidents of Nature plot out of that and i also think it could benefit their dynamic a bit#if Art canāt be pulling bizarre mind games with them bc heās just meeting them. it gives him less like. baggage to#haul around and hang himself with you know? so that could be fun on all those levels#Tashi as Sara and Patrick as Willie and Art as Jean. <- not one-to-one disability wise but like. Character Role wise#fucking. no one knows what iām talking about lmao Harriet McBryde Johnsonās novel āAccidents of Natureā read it ->#THANK GOD FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN#WCT!AU tag
