Anticipation and Hopes: Wilmon edition
Feb. 14th, 2024 06:14 amA quick post before I hop on the bus to work: one thing I’m really looking forward to about Dreamwidth is getting a chance to reconnect with my love of Wilmon before season 3 airs! I do enjoy them quite a bit; I don’t think it’s possible to enjoy YR without enjoying the lead couple. The way ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
heliza24 writes them in our fic brings me joy, and whenever she sends me new sections with them I’m always leaving her screams comments.
I always felt a little bit self-conscious on the other site, though. There’s so much wilmon content it can feel like you’re drinking from a firehose, and a lot of the popular interpretations of the characters and the relationship dynamic are not ones I necessarily share, or represent what I like most about them. I’m always a little surprised when I go back to the show and remember what I was drawn to about Wilmon in the first place. I also want to be clear that a lot of people are perfectly sweet and I’ve had some great discussions about wilmon one on one, but I also recognize that reblogging and other tumblr mechanics can make it harder to have the sort of conversations about them I’m interested in having on main.
(And sometimes stuff that’s a little more offensive to me gets amplified and that… I never know how to handle that, quite.)
Anyway, I’m glad I’m here, and it’s nice how things feel a little different so far. Now to begin the day!
