[A:tLoK] Notes to self

[kaberett]

... about a fic I may or may not get around to writing. Context: 02x04 Korra. Content notes: abuse, kink.

19:56 < kaberett> like to some extent it is shit teenagers being shit?
19:56 < kaberett> but also this is ACTIVELY ABUSIVE in a way that the
                  Mako-Asami-Korra bullshit wasn't
19:57 < kaberett> hence
19:57 < kaberett> writing
19:57 < kaberett> Bolin deals with processing abuse in context of realising he
                  wants to be subby but has no idea how
19:58 < kaberett> I would have to work out partner, though?
19:58 < kaberett> because uh
19:58 < kaberett> I actually like Asami And Bolin Are Bros
19:58 < Woggy> totally bros.
19:58 < kaberett> I am thinking OC
19:58 < kaberett> I am thinking sports reporter
19:59 < kaberett> because I can totally see Bolin getting all flustered over
                  someone actually writing nicely about him in a paper and then
                  requesting an interview
19:59 < kaberett> about oh god this is a plotbunny
19:59 < Woggy> ooooooohyes
20:00 < kaberett> (about how it feels to be the only one left of the original
                  Fire Ferrets line-up)
20:00 < kaberett> (and he is all BUT PABU THOUGH)
20:00 < kaberett> and then it turns into not-actually-interview material
20:00 < kaberett> and Bolin is Very Sad into noodles
20:01 < kaberett> (interviewer is all "so you and that Asami Sato eh eh")
20:01 < kaberett> (and Bolin is all "nah we're bros")
20:01 < kaberett> (and then he resumes Sad In Noodles)
20:01 < kaberett> (... and they get to the end and the interviewer was all "...
                  welp I guess this was kind of an incompetent first date,
                  but... wanna do it again?")
20:01 < kaberett> (AND THEN they are relationships)
20:01 < kaberett> (AND THEN Bolin has Understandable Issues)
20:02 < kaberett> (and then there is conflict and he is all NO GODDAMMIT I AM
                  GOING TO FIX THIS BY MYSELF)
20:02 < kaberett> (and he is GOOD AT IT because that kid is secretly
                  super-competent)
20:02 < kaberett> (and oh fuck I just a novella didn't I)

(Entirely unrelatedly, I am having SUCH A FEELINGS about the Elementary season opener!)

YES. I have ALL THE FEELS about the Elementary episode. I just... -flail- It was PERFECT. Mycroft and Sherlock were perfect and lghadghsd.

[kaberett]

I have just rewatched 01x16 and I am having SO MANY FEELINGS about this ep in that context - siblings and families and their being FRIENDS and and and!

[silveradept]

Can't quite see it, but then again, I think of sportscaster guy in relation to how he reached to the Equalists.

[kaberett]

Mmm, so reporter may well actually be an Equalist themself and uh the way this gets SUPER-PLOTTY is that Bolin is all "... huh?" about it and uh then has things explained to him and then is all "... oh SHIT yeah I take your point" AND THEN EXPLAINS IT TO KORRA

[silveradept]

I'll bet it turns out well.
