My Hero
I hadn't intended on stopping with the kink meme fills, but I've been busy working with my new writing partner on a few things, and that's just how it went. But anyway, I finally got around to doing another solo piece once I saw this new prompt for 90s Kid comforting someone. I just can't resist a good hurt comfort story, lol, especially when it

You're very welcome for the long reply. That's usually how I write comments, depending on the quality of the fic. If its just a cute, clever little piece and I just go, "Ahh, that was a fun read", I'll usually make a quick comment. But if it really leaves an impact and makes my night, the way this one did, I find it only fair to write in more detail what I loved and give my fullest compliments. I know that's what I would want. My friends call me a "magpie" because of my tendancy to write such long posts, so I worried it would be overboard, but hey, if it made you just as happy as this made me, I suppose we're even.
Indeed, I'm still very much in the, "I'm so friggin' depressed at the end of the NC character and show, but still excited for Doug's new projects!" phase. People say you can't be both, but that's just silly. Its only been two weeks since TBF, and I've been following NC every week for two years, so I think its totally normal to still be in shock, and yet happy for him for whatever's new to come. I've just been trying to distract myself from the thought of it all by watching old episodes, and then suddenly a commentary for the movie comes up and I'm like, "Oh. Darn. Well, can't avoid this forever." So little fics like this are very therapeutic for me. ;) It all felt very natural and sweet, so I had to majorly thank you for it.
I do love how you always take a deeper look at the AT4W characters and situations in your fics. Its true that Lewis doesn't tend to focus on aftermath or personal connectons in the show, but honestly, I think he's been doing it a LOT more lately. And I love it! You have no idea how much I was squeeing last week when he was saying how he couldn't think of a better team to stand by his side and stop him from turning evil. I don't think he ever would have had something like that in the show a year ago! It always had some poignancy, but was mostly about villains, battles, weapons, etc. There's gradually starting to be more heart. Its almost like our fanfiction coming to life in the actual show (with exceptions, lol). Maybe he planned it all along, but I like to think he maybe got the idea to go that route from the fans who see the potential in the group of characters. *shrugs* Or maybe I'm thinking too much about it. Either way, it makes me happy and I hope he keeps it up.
Okay, this has gone way off-topic and probably belongs somewhere else, so I'll stop for now. Nostalgia Critic and AT4W are two of my biggest TGWTG obsessions, so thanks for bringing them together! I'll keep reading as long as you keep it up!

But I'm glad if these stories are helping influence the producers into making their characters softer, more emotional, or more complex. I wonder too if half the stuff that's happened lately would have happened without our fandom's influence. Imagine how different things could be...

Yeah, long posts don’t seem overboard to me. If you really like a story, you should use as many words as you feel necessary to tell the author, in my opinion. I stil feel very happy and touched that my fic impacted you enough to write such long comments and I think we’re very much even!
I agree that you can be both sad and excited without it being silly. That’s where I am, although I am starting to get anxious since I was hoping for some sort of teaser clip or trailer for Doug’s new show. I think I’d feel more reassured if I had a better idea of what it’s going to be. I think the new article mentioned a nostalgic talk show, but I’m not sure if that’s Demo Reel or something else. I know they also mentioned game shows, which seems kind of funny to me. What kind of game shows will these be? Are they actually giving out monetary prizes? Will Brad get a new special suit to wear as the host? I just really want more info right now so I don’t start worrying over Doug’s decision.
Anyway, back on topic, I’m so glad this was therapeutic for you and that it’s helped you get past the loss of our beloved Critic. I’m someone who always looks deeper into character motivations and actions, for better or worse, so I’m glad you enjoy those kinds of stories. I love focusing on the AT4W team since they’re such diverse, mysterious characters who we have almost no information on. I think you’re right that Lewis is focusing more on the connections with his teammates, and if it was the writers and artists who are influencing him, then I’m happy to be a part of that, even if he’s never seen my work. I’m really excited for the upcoming Halloween story, since it looks like the team is really going to talk about trust issues and maybe bring up some of the stuff that’s happened before! I’m with you, I’m really happy with the direction of the characters so far, and I also hope Lewis keeps it up! ^^
Aw, you’re welcome! Thanks again for leaving such wonderful comments and I’ll do my best to create some more stories to enjoy! :D
