ahh i don't think i will ever write a canon compliant fic that goes beyond a oneshot with silly goofy themes, or really any more canon compliant fics at all. my favorite part of rpf is looking at the personas/dynamics we are shown and picking traits to create characters, then putting them in unique circumstances and seeing how they react.

when it comes to the enlistment period specifically, conscription is such a grim, traumatizing thing that i do not believe i have the perspective to tackle with the nuance it deserves. on top of that, i think for my personal comfort i have to draw a boundary with my rpf somewhere, and using the real trauma of real people in the context of their real lives for my writing feels invasive To Me Personally. this is not to condemn it, we're all writing RPF around here i am in no place to judge many find what i do invasive, this is just me & my values and what i personally find respectful. conscription is so evil and the impacts it has on an individual & their relationships are so deeply personal that i can't feel comfortable speculating on or creating a fantasy around that experience in particular.

idk if this answer is too detailed hahaha i have spent time thinking about this in the past and wanted to share my honest perspective. thank you so much for asking & for thinking of me ♡
