( This would have fit better if I’d sent this before you switched accounts, but oh well. )

Gotta say, I really like Beck—he’s basically a more destructive / toxic take on Don Quixote. Trying to force his delusions onto someone who clearly regrets indulging him to begin with.

(Nah, don’t worry about it! I’m kinda half-back to using @sincerely-sofie as my main blog again anyhow hehe)

Beck is a delightful character to write, especially because Eve didn’t just indulge in his delusions by entertaining his crush on her— she was indulging her own. She wanted to love him at first, and then to get him to understand and love her as she truly is later on, but you can’t make someone better. For better and for worse, they can only do that themself. She fell for the trap of trying to fix him. Though she snaps out of it eventually! This snippet is from a document titled “Beck’s Grand Finale”, after all :>

Her gaze couldn't maintain the same cold as she hoped to, but she continued. "I loved you. Truly. As much as I could ever love another, I thought I loved you. But perhaps I'd seen another's face in place of yours. You have your Lady, Beck, and I have my Beloved— a haughty, condescending fool whom I thought I could one day convince to love me as I really was. I thought I could soften him, that I could have a friend akin to what I found in Suffering, someone whom I could speak to in a language beyond my own tears. I must thank you, Beck, for killing that man in my mind, so that I could see you for who you truly are. May I do the same for you now?”

Many thanks for the kind words!!

i assume this might be spoilers but on the off chance it isn't: will eve ever get to be a raichu again? obviously things will never be the same, but does she ever re-adopt that form or did frogboy ruin it for her?

Eve doesn't, but Hero does through the magic of thrifty recycling of lifeforce!

abt your psmd au is there a fanfic somewhere that i can read it in full cuz i wanna know like whats going on

There's no fic, though a oneshot titled "Beck's Grand Finale" is in the works, and the content on my blog has gone through various eras and revamps in the background which doesn't help. The gist of it is that Mew (aka Eve) in the distant past gave herself amnesia and transformed into a baby pichu in the modern era that Nuzleaf took in as a recovering gambling addict with a dark past (that's Hero), a small fragment of Dark Matter was bitter about Hero disliking the negative parts of herself that it was made of and took on a mortal disguise to try and kill her before he ended up catching feelings (that's Banette), and the clingy right-hand frogadier of Mew insisted that she launch him into the modern era alongside her new form as Hero and proceeded to ruin everyone's lives by convincing her she would be more helpful to the world as Eve instead of Hero (that's Beck).

If you have any questions, I can try to answer them!
