I think I've clarified my position on sad - the word is like "angst", a poor description on the contents of the bag. Grief is something I actively run from, but this story the realism of Riverdale trauma explored within the characters without the cracky elements (which I love, but have their place). I am currently writing you a letter to describe how this story makes me feel, but will share separately :)
I love how you show Betty's messiness - this is how it feels to speak to a psych at the start (even without having a serial killer dad and a stalker boyfriend), where you are trying to get a handle on your emotions and everything is tempestuous and you can't describe it, you don't want to be judged etc. etc. I do love your illustration of Jughead's dissociation - this is a very teen thing to do (and a human thing to do on some level). //the reasons why he does what he does, issues with impulse control, unhealthy coping mechanisms, etc.// very excited for this. I love the way you explore complexities of the psyches of these two.
//Sometimes people with the most high-strung of control issues are the ones that need to give it up the most.// lol too real
Ahh thank YOU so much for your thoughtful response to me! Sorry this is taking me so long to get through, but as I said, I'm re-reading it to remind myself where my head was at. All the love to you and all the awe for you and your story. x x x
