This minorly imploded, comments-wise: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25671265/chapters/62324440 one of the main issues being, izzit erasure if you write fem!WWX/LWJ? which was interesting to track. Just leaving it here for my own record.

Why are you so... I don't have a good enough description, except that I think the country (or the various units of it) began on very shaky grounds right from earlier times and apparently most people (aka the people in power) thought no, this was totally fine and so the shaky grounds just got papered over but the faultlines were always there?

Okay, I'm not qualified to give any further opinions other than that.

Watching It's Okay to Not be Okay (Netflix trailer), and it is okay like whoa? I love it loads so far: hoping that it stays on course for the portrayal of mental illness. The fantastical elements are beautiful (and a bit spooky) and thought-provoking, especially the fairy-tale parts.
