(no subject)

[impossiblewizardry]

ok rereading the (second) transformation party chapter now that i have context.

Ashley met Elliot when she saw him transforming into a girl. So now I have some context for why this is important to Elliot... his ex Sarah had been a bit weirded out by that, and I think she said in the first transformation party that she didnt want their first kiss to be when theyre gender switched. But to Ashley this is part of the appeal, and their first kiss is when Elliot is gender switched.

Ok, cool, Elliot has a girlfriend who's really into transformation magic. So how come their third date is just like... normal? When they met it was exciting and supernatural, so how come now Ashley doesn't want to talk about magic?

so... ashley realizes that her fantasies are not things she'd want to happen in real life. Like her transformation fic includes like, sexy noncon transformation.

first of all, that means she feels she cant be open about the subject with elliot--she doesnt really want to share this side of herself with someone she really likes but doesnt know. So the most exciting side of her relationship to elliot to her, is also a subject she's avoiding.

Second, between date 2 and date 3, ashley found out she's gonna be a wizard. She's going to be able to do these transformation spells, while at the same time feeling like she's the last person who should be trusted with them.

Its complciated and elliot doesnt get it at all, he just knows ashley has magic on her mind but doesnt want to talk about it with him, and so he gets tedd to have the party so she'll have other people to talk to.

ok i think thats it... theres so much backstory to everything in this comic... a lot of effort to load context
