A Letter to the Me I Was Four Years Ago Today

Hey Dakota,

Or, perhaps, I should address you as *****. I don't think we were Dakota quite yet.

In a few weeks, your whole life is gonna change. Okay, maybe a bit hyperbolic compared to the situations other people are also about to experience. But, take your time and enjoy today.

Its leap day, an extra day to do something, so take advantage of this supposedly "extra day of magic." I know you worked hard to get your homework under control so we could see the new Magic Happens parade on its opening weekend.

I remember the joy of getting to text our good friend "Happy birthday" on their actual birthday and not figure out if I should text them on the 28th or the 1st. The anticipation of waiting in a crowd of people to see this new parade, which could possibly run for the next decade like its predecessor. And sharing the specialty sundae at Gibson Girl and some of the dishes at this year's Food and Wine Festival with Dad. That chicken in a waffle taco was so good.

Smile and take your mind off of the pile of work you know you still have waiting at home, the APs you should be studying for, not to mention your upcoming SAT. That Coco float is more beautiful than anything you could have imagined and the Moana float is just beautiful.

You don't know it, but this will be your last trip to Disneyland as an annual passholder, or really your last normal day off for a while. In two weeks the world's gonna shut down, and no amount of optimism we try to muster will keep that initial two weeks as two weeks. But before that, take my advice, you should definitely apply to that Life is Strange fanzine you saw on Twitter. Then, you'll finally know who Dakota is. And who knows what else you may discover on this path.

Also, what took you so long to start writing for you? I know junior year of high school is not known for students having a lot any free time, but if this is what you wanna do for the rest of your life, you gotta start sooner than later. And hey, call me a hypocrite, I know I'm still trying to find a good work/life balance. But we're getting to use our free time in a way that makes us happy and productive. Just keep writing.

Over the next four, really two, years, you're gonna lose contact with a lot of friends. But the two who you do stay in contact with, let's just say you wouldn't wanna be (occasionally) texting with anyone else. They are gonna make you feel safe to be yourself and introduce you to some future obsessions. One of them will be the inspiration for the first piece you write truly for you and for fun. And they're gonna be so supportive when you tell them about what you've been up to/asking their help for.

There's gonna be a lot of rough nights and disappointments before you graduate. And the decision of what to do about college, let those tears fall. There's no need to keep holding those emotions in. It's a tough choice and while I'm still in the middle of it, who's to say I made the right decision. But, I can tell you this, you are gonna be so much happier when you start college. Maybe it's not the experience your sibling had or you dreamed of, but you are gonna fall in love with a whole new city with so much to do (and so little time!). And not to be narcissistic, but I know how proud you would be to see all the things I've done so far in my coursework.

Keep listening to that voice telling you to go for it. You're gonna start writing for some of your favorite fandoms (including ones that you'll meet down the line - I'm so excited for you to watch BD and TS for the first time). Then you're gonna join Tumblr, then AO3, and who knows what's next. Some incredibly sweet people will interact with the things you made (yes, you!) and you'll be introduced to so many talented writers and artists on here! Literally, every day I come across multiple fanarts and fics that I can't help but stare at cause they are sooo good!

I know I skipped over a lot of exciting (and not so exciting) things, but that's for you to discover and enjoy in the moment. Enjoy this moment of happiness, and don't let yourself get too consumed with all the things out of your control. I think the parade is just about to start over at It's a Small World. Take care. We'll meet again soon.

Love,

Dakota Wren 💜

euclyta and all even numbered questions 💫

me when i think no one's gonna ask me anything oop (thank youuu)

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

the fact that she always acts like she doesnt care about what people think of her but she secretly gets very happy when people think she's really cool! in the finale for pso2 she complains about all the work she got sent to do but gets outed "you were very excited when they told you you were our ace in the hole" :')

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

this is kind of a biased question but im playing genshin a lot lately and i keep thinking of how she could translate into teyvat + the game's core mechanics, like what element she'd use and her weapon type (since she normally uses twin machine guns, and there are no dual wield weapons in genshin)

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

im not very sure! but i know she definitely loves her friends and family a lot, and i love mine too

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

god ok i really don't like that a lot of dudebros (from what i've seen anyway) reduced her to just another tsundere waifu. a lot of the fanart ive seen over the years is incredibly gross and ooc too

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

it'd be the biggest joy for me if i could honestly

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

she's a lesbian! ever since i first laid my eyes on her, it was the very first thing that popped into my brain.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

i can definitely see her with some neon techwear honestly

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

the good thing about pso2 being niche is that there aren't that many ships. unfortunately eucie has exactly one ship i've seen and its with her brother so im gonna say that one

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

we dont see her interact much outside of her very close circle but the anime did give us some interactions between her and matoi that i really appreciate, because we see her more gentle side even if just for a little bit

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

she's already very close to aurora so if not afin, then her. they both share very similar guilt and did decide together they would work to be better people to make up for it. plus aurora already does get eucie to talk about her feelings in the open, which is very, VERY rare

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

there's not many fics for her other than some my friends have written (to which im very biased LOL) so i cant really opinionate on this

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

there's definitely somebody but i cant place my finger on who atm

#asks #YIP #i like talking about her #thanku
