Woahh, first of all thank you for answering so honestly and sharing a bit of your personal experiences, I am completely glad that you are now where you feel good and in a place that you can call home and your safe place 💖 Speaking of history and real world comparisons, I think that’s why we end up with some people or other, the choices we make and the struggles each of us has. I think something I love about viktuuri is the answer to “why yuuri?” or “why viktor, why with viktor and not with other people?”, and I think it’s something precious. In other scenarios, as I’ve seen in another of your stories (or even in the NLA itself), I share the thought I had; otherwise chris might have had a real chance with viktor, he was patient, protective, he really cared for him, he really loved vitya and he saw and accepted him for who he was so why yuuri? and I think that’s something that happens in the real world, Vitya wasn’t ready at the time and the only one who managed to awaken all those feelings in him and help him heal was Yuuri, because they were what the other needed and that’s beautiful. , because neither of them was perfect but as you say they complemented each other and it worked because they were compatible and because they WANTED to work for the good of the other when one of them was not perfect. Life just happened that way and that’s where it felt right, we all have flaws and virtues.As you say, no one is just bad or just good, and I believe that sometimes one can be good for someone and bad for someone, in the sense that we are experiencing different things that are sometimes not compatible with what the other person is experiencing , especially when you’re not ready to make a change or improve or work on it, and it causes “isn’t here”… things to happen in life.That’s what I love so much about NLA, that it’s so simple and at the same time so wonderful, because that’s life, it’s not always fair, not always everything is joy or sadness, and sometimes love is not always where you thought or where “it is easier” to get to, the decisions we make and how we fight our own problems and traumas are ultimately what also builds love, and the support and compatibility that someone has with you to grow together.I’m happy that that was the essence of what you wanted to show and that it’s not just “he’s bad and good by nature” or “he’s better” “he’s worse” (for example with characters like chris, as possible romantic interest of viktor, AND I love victuuri with all I mean..but amazing guy and totally worth it, of course! ). And I love that the victuuri is about that. Love in pure essence and the decisions we make.I’m very happy to be able to comment more in depth on all this that I thought and of your process as a writer and co-creator of NLA.(maybe l’ll bother mamo too with the yuuri’s part hahah )Many things like that and the panic attacks helped me a lot for personal development.
