hello! hope you're doin well! i just read your fic Little Plastic Robot and wanted to send you an ask real quick!
please note that it is currently quite late for me and i am likely not going to articulate these thoughts very well but i have to send this ask before i forget literally everything because i most certainly will (cursed with cranboo memory unfortunately)
i love your characterization of c!tubbo, its so perfect and i just really appreciate the way you write him. its super accurate to the time period too and i love that a lot, not everyone achieves that accuracy but i think you very much did. he really was just a kid, and you captured that wonderfully.
his exhaustion, not wanting to do things but knowing he had to do them regardless because in the end he really had no choice. he wore a suit that was too big for him, with plenty of room to fit the expectations of people in there. he was always tired, could never get enough sleep, still cant really. always had too much on his plate but needed to get everything done, or else.
reminders of that stuff always kill me, mostly cause they're completely true. but the way that you wrote them and laid them out served as a good reminder of just how brutal that whole experience was for him.
also i really loved the line "Apparently, he can fight for his country when it involves war but he has no idea how to fight for his country when it involves politics." idk i just feel like it encapsulates the whole manberg ordeal very well
anyway! great fic, your writing is stunning and i enjoy it a lot. c!tubbo is my favorite character and i love fics that are from his pov!! really well done, im looking forward to the next chapter :)
AKFJSBS HI!!! tysm for this truly it really means a lot ^_^!! and don’t worry about not being articulate I’m going to sound so inarticulate compared to you o(-( but yeah I like! really wanted to write a fic that draws attention to pretty much everything he’s gone through and like.. his thought process and his relationships at the time and I’m so glad you think I’ve done it well! The next chapter’s almost done and should be out in a couple of days (hopefully)
