i love being deeply pretentious about my fanfic. i love treating fanfic with all the care of weaving narratives and themes and parallelisms as published literature.
anyway, chapter eight of firewatch au starts with a jack kerouac quote-

big brother
Ash needs some time to figure the whole "big brother" thing out.
fandom: pokemon (anime)
rating: g
relationship(s): ash & lei, ash & brock
word count: 13k
read it here
Ash first meets Lei through photos and video calls. It’s easy to see how fond of him Kukui and Burnet are; Ash finds the experience oddly reminiscent of the first time he had a Pokémon transported to Professor Oak’s lab and called to check in on it.
He can’t exactly tell if Lei is aware of him or not. When he babbles at the camera, Burnet admits it may be more out of interest in the device itself than for Ash on the other side of it. He finds it funny in the moment, but when he recalls it later, he wonders if he should have. Even if Lei was talking at him, how long will he remember, anyway? He briefly considers asking Goh, then figures there’s not really anything to ask; Goh may know a lot about Pokémon, but he’s even less likely than Ash to understand how a human baby’s brain works.
Besides, he’s not sure yet if he even wants to broach the subject with Goh. It’s not as if he’s keeping anything secret from anyone, but he sometimes gets the feeling that his new friends are made uneasy by reminders of his adventures before them. Like they forget how much he has already seen and done—which is all right with him, really, because he doesn’t like that awestruck expression on their faces as much as he once thought he would.
Their trip to Alola is a long time coming, though, and Goh is thankfully more fixated on what new Pokémon he can catch than on whatever Ash has already left behind there. Ash probably should have anticipated that Kiawe and Goh would bump heads, but he has to admit that he’s been thinking more about the professors than about his old classmates since they arrived at the airport. And, anyway, it turns out fine—they get along great in the end, which is really the best Ash could’ve asked for.
But it’s not the surprise party they all planned for him, or getting separated from Goh, or even Kiawe’s challenge that sticks with Ash when they at last settle down for the night. It’s what Burnet said to him at the house before all that, holding Lei out in front of him for the first time—properly:
Big brother.

I ended up stopping HSR because the egregiously orientalist backstory Aventurine has in combination with the horrendous details for the new relic set based on his home planet was too much. At least I wasn't invested enough for it to be a hard choice. I should have stopped Genshin ages ago, but at this point I've invested so much I can't. But I will no longer give my money. I'm putting it to better use.

the thing that is sooo frustrating and annoying but also reassuring in a way about writing is that like. i know that as a 21 year old with basically no life experience i will be a much better writer in like 20 years when i've lived more and read more etc etc. which is nice to know but also... it makes writing now a bit annoying

So. Going on ferris wheels with N huh :). How about this...
He wants to make a lil cheesy romantic gesture. A classic. Kissing you when you guys are on the top.
As the wheel goes up he tells himself "I can do this I can do this I can do this". He has kissed you so many times before so why is he so nervous about it this time? Maybe it's because you look extremely cute all excited and looking at the landscape.
Either way you are finally at the top and he finally leans in, maybe even blushing.
"Would you mind if I...kissed you?"
