Every now and again, as I write, I realize the reason why I do the things I do is because of my Dyslexia and my own NEEEDD to have separate paragraphs be easier to read on mobile.
It's the same reason I fear that I always separate dialogue from main paragraphs, which I haven't really seen in other fanfics..
I hope it's not like, mildly annoying to others who read my works LMAO, because above all else, I struggle the most with screens
I never saw Blank the Series, so I wasn't part of the FayeYoko fandom. But, after learning the truth about what actually went down between Faye and NineStar Studios, I developed a newfound respect for her and swore to support Faye in all her future endeavors.
It was empowering to see a strong and independent (and loudly proclaimed sapphic) woman, who was being punished for being self-sufficient and having smart business sense, stick up for herself and stand tall enough to walk away from a situation that no longer held her best interests at heart. Despite efforts to villainize her from multiple fronts, Faye stepped away from Yoko with as much grace as she possibly could by setting very firm boundaries with fans... as was her right as a now independent artist.
She's now planning to release a new GL series, under her own terms with full creative freedom, through her own company Fable Entertainment. In honor of her boss bitch energy, I hope Broken of Love is a big fat friggin success!!!

The Idea of Shared/Linked Karma as it Relates to Home and Peach in Peaceful Property
I made a comment in my last post about Peaceful Property that Home and Peach exist in balance of one another... and that if I were to elaborate on that, it would make that post longer than it needed to be.
Well, thanks to @thebroccolination, I have once again boarded the Peaceful Property train... and the time is nigh!!!
I just want to preface this by saying, this is all just my own personal read of the series and I, in no way, hold any of this to be an absolute interpretation. Ideas of cyclical karma and karmic soulmates / linked karma have always interested me... if my love of The Sign is anything to go by hehe
So, what are the beliefs around shared/linked karma? It's basically the idea that two or more spirits are interconnected through their actions and inactions. The karma created by one will affect the experiences of the others through shared circumstance and interaction. This interdependence would create shared karmic consequences. An example of this would be familial karma, which is dispersed throughout the series as the "curse" (or negative karma) of the Vimarnsukman family.
The relationship between Home and Peach can represent the ideas of a negative karmic relationship blossoming into a positive one. And their linked connection started the instant Home hit Peach with his car.
Buddhism doesn't necessarily propagate "predetermined destinies" so much as "fates" or karma born of individual choice. Circumstances will always present you with a choice, and your decision is what will determine your karmic fate. The choices that are presented throughout one's lifetime, give one with the opportunity to balance their karmic scale... but only if they are willing to pursue positive actions that foster good karma.
Karma has a funny way of trying to balance the scales. Peach and Home reconnecting after the hit and run was the universe's way of presenting Home with the choice to correct his past mistakes... but only happens because of that mistake. Home hits Peach with his car, Peach dies and is resuscitated... but with the ability to see ghosts, Peach's friend Best purchases one of Home's properties that is haunted by a ghost only Peach can see and exorcise, Home wants to hire Peach for his ability. Home needed Peach to help "see" the manifestation of his family's negligence and ignorance, and Peach's ability to do that was granted to him only after Home's own negligence and ignorance. Karma is such a tangled web hehe
In developing a relationship with Peach, someone who Home has wronged in the past, Home can begin to foster enough good karma to counteract his (and his family's) negative actions. Their working together to alleviate the suffering of other spirits creates a positive and important karmic bond, which perpetuates a sense of shared communal well-being that mitigates Home's negative karma. (A lot of this also falls into the idea of harmonious justice which was another prominent concept throughout the series... this is a much larger discussion that I lack the mental capacity to delve into right now).
Home eventually gaining the ability to "hear" those who were never listened to... when the thing him and his family struggle with the most is communication, when he wanted Peach to hear him out after finding out about the hit and run, when his spirit seeks to connect with Peach after his own accident. If Peach can see the ghosts, then in order for them to continue down this shared karmic path, Home must hear them (whether literal or figurative). Balance!!!
Home helps Peach to overcome his fears, Peach helps Home to be aware of and accept his wrong behaviors. Without each other, their cycles of fear and harm would continue. Them "choosing" each other, is what allows them to acknowledge and change their own self-damaging and isolating tendencies... to learn and experience forgiveness, and to find inner peace within themselves. They find a community within each other and use that community to help others. That's the ultimate definition of harmonious karma.
what is going on.
