Oh, wow!! What an experience.
First off: HEY, bestie!! 🎀(≧▽≦)
Took me long to actually read this, I'll admit I was scared it'd be too deep for me to comprehend, because you're always so cool and good with your takes, I knew this was gonna be crazy good so I had to be prepared. (It was!!)
Secondly: Oh, man, you got Darry SO WELL. It wasn't ooc, not at all, it was a super good representation on Older Brotherhood. As an older sibling myself, I admit that I, too, liked to poke fun at my little brother. Make him cry wasn't my style, but it was funny when he did (like when he'd get a scratch on his knee or when he'd fall). Or get embarrassed whenever he'd tag along and I was with my friends. I, too, got serious and “unfunny” after life got difficult and I had to toughen up, so I get what you were aiming for, and you gave the best damn shot ever. And, since I ain't got a middle brother, there was no one but my little brother for me to protect as well, so I had to do both, he was like my Soda and my Pony at the same time; poking fun at him was funny, but whenever he'd cry because of me, my world would shatter. Furthermore, the copying, the “Superman” thing, oh God, is it true. My little brother grew up doing the same, he'd watch the shows I watched to look cool, he'd think something was dumb if I did, he'd try to copy what I found funny or stylish, he'd play what I played and listen to the music I liked, just to feel like me, like he was cool as well, not in an envious way, but in a silly, innocent and enthusiastic way; to get my approval. What I'm trying to say is, you really touched a big sibling's heart today. You're cool, and I'm so glad we're friends. 🎀
Also, Mr. Curtis knows what's what. 🙏
Your first fic and it's already marvelous, well done!! I'm waiting for more chapters to come but this was gold already!! ♡
Every once in a while, I’m fortunate enough to get a comment that really sticks with me, for its sincerity and thoughtfulness, a comment I find myself often returning to. This is one of those comments. 🫶
