I DON’T KNOW THE CONTEXT BUT YES

BASIC STORY, BECAUSE I FEEL YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW REINAKO THIS MOVIE IS. It’s a weird 90′s high school AU of Taming of the Shrew, where basically this dad is against the idea of his youngest daughter dating, so he says she can’t until her older sister, Kat, who is an Angry Feminist with no interest in dating, does. So the youngest daughter tells the new kid in school about this rule, and he’s like, WELL I’LL JUST FIND SOMEONE TO DATE HER. NO PROBLEM. And because everyone is a little scared of her, he ends up PAYING Bad Boy with a Heart of Gold, Patrick. There’s a lot of back and forth and eventually, of course, Kat starts spending time with Patrick and falling for his charms, and he falls for her. And then she finds out why he started pursuing her, and there’s drama, but it ends with Kat writing this poem:

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare

I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind
I hate you so much that it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you’re always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you’re not around
And the fact that you didn’t call
But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

AND TELL ME REI WOULDN’T WRITE A LOVE POEM ALL ABOUT HOW SHE “HATES” MINA

Oh buddy don’t be too hard on yourself. I have no idea where the inspiration comes from and why but from my questionable experience, if it comes, it COMES. and then you write for days without standing up from the chair and really NOTHING can stop you and so on (I remember I almost didn’t sleep and faked illness to skip the work). AND THEN IT GOES TO NOWHERE FOR QUITE A BIG TIME. No idea why. But I don’t think this can ever be your fault or something

  There was also a scheme that depicted how one’s skill improves and how they see this improvement, the point was that we usually see way ahead our own skill, our eyes learn faster than our hands, so if it seems you’re not moving it’s probably wrong, you are! Just your vision is moving a few steps faster and demands, say, the 6 level of skill when you have 5. And to the moment you have 5, it’s already on 7 and moving to 8. And yells at you ‘WHERE’S MY SEVEN’

  I hope it makes sense ahah

  And I hug you anyway, you’re a good writer no matter whether your brain tries to convince you otherwise

SNUMPLE THANK YOU YOU’RE SO SWEET. And I’ve heard about that before! It’s always so hard to keep in mind, thank you so much for reminding me. (My eyes are indeed yelling at my hands to GET TO SEVEN ALREADY.

oh gawd I feeL YOU SO MUCH. I found my stuff from some six years ago when I was cleaning the place up just a few hours ago… it’s shit with a tiny sprinkle of awesome. Then I looked at my current writing, and it’s overall better, but? Does it have? The sprinkle of awesome? IF IT DOES I CAN’T SEE IT FOR FUCK

I’m glad I’m not alone but I’m so sorry you have to feel this way too. There’s always a little part of me that worries that I’ll never get that little spark back, that it was caused by some magical combination of youth and naivete. WHICH IS BULLSHIT. But still. I BELIEVE WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE SPRINKLE OF AWESOME IN OUR CURRENT WORK AGAIN.

OH MY GOD SAM WHERE DO I BEGIN
That whole opening part with Michiru thinking about being lower class and having a flask was so perfect and I love the flow of it, it’s musical
AND SEIYA’S SHIRT AMAZE, their whole conversation the bathroom is incredible    
And i of course adore how Michiru ends up with the upper hand in literally every possibel way, and then get s the double joy of seeing haruka flip out ahahaha I LOVE YOU

I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ASKING THIS ONE DOC. IT WAS A JOY. Ahaha I’m glad you like the flask bit, it popped in my head as I contemplated Michiru’s great suffering and I just ran with it. 

And ahaha yes, Michiru having the upper hand always is one of my favorite things.

LOL at Michiru’s flask thoughts and then she’s like "Oh but the flask would ruin the wine anyway” and just proceeds to verbally destroy Seiya instead. I love it 😀

Thank you! I have my roommate to thank for my tiny bit of wine knowledge, she worked in a wine shop last year and has told me things so that now I can PRETEND to have a little of Michiru’s class.

 AHAH SAM THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

I love how Michiru marked Usagi by Seiya’s outfit

And their conversation, i’m dying

I love that Seiya doesn’t buy Michiru’s accurate insults and like politely teases back

She has no chances to win but I really like that she doesn’t take Michiru’s insults to her heart
 I REALLY LOVE HOW THEY INTERACT AHAH

I’M REALLY GLAD YOU LIKED IT. I was worried as I wrote it that it was too genuinely flirty? But I see them as sort of verbal sparring partners, because with Seiya vs. Haruka (and to a lesser extent, Michiru vs. Yaten) in the background, they naturally fall towards antagonism, but they also genuinely like each other (not in a close friends way, but I think they enjoy interacting a lot more than they’d ever admit). So I see them essentially playing with each other, and Michiru will always win because she’s Michiru, but Seiya’s good humored about it. And I think her good humor brings out a little lightness in Michiru. SO BASICALLY WHAT I’M SAYING IS IT WAS REALLY FUN TO WRITE

“No, we only get into social interactions to shag, just like straight people.” -,-“

TO BE FAIR, THIS DOES SEEM TO BE THE PRIME DIRECTIVE FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE.

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY I’M SO SERIOUSLY INTO WRITING AND PROMOTING THE BROTP

THE BROTP IS SO SO IMPORTANT. 

I always debate trying to explain things to my sister over the phone, but I tried to explain how like, along with being like ‘normal” friendships between women, there’s also so many shared experiences for us to relate to each other on, and we support each other, and just. WLW FRIENDSHIPS ARE SUPER IMPORTANT.
