Oops heh

So yeah I forgot about this for a minute. And then I remembered and hhh safe to say the first chapter of this is not my best work lol. This was a random 2am story idea and I thought I would be able to write both chapters in the one night, I finished the one and got excited and uploaded it. Anyway, I'm definitely not gonna finish this because I'm honestly a little embarrassed by the first chapter lol so I'll just put here the rough outline (and tiny bit of dialogue) that I had planned for this second chapter because I don't like having unfinished things. Sorry for the year-long wait that ends with nothing special '^^


Luz and Amity are training(?) and Amity keeps messing up a spell. So she keeps trying and trying and it's taking up a lot of her energy. Luz tells her to take it easy so she doesn't hurt herself and Amity freaks out and says she has to be perfect. Her siblings walk in right at this moment (maybe to walk them home if it's late out? idk) and they're heartbroken at this revelation. It's no secret that their parents are tough and want their kids to "uphold the family name" or w/e but Ed and Em stopped taking their words to heart a long time ago and they thought Amity did too. But, no, at this rate she was going to kill herself in order to be "perfect":

"No! You don't understand, I have to be perfect! If I'm not perfect then I'm worthless, and if I'm worthless then...then there's no point…" There's no point in trying. There's no point in even being alive. She stared at Luz, panting, with sweat dripping down her face both from her outburst and the exertion of the spell she was trying to perfect. Luz stared back at her sadly, mouth agape, like she was about to respond, but then her eyes shifted to something behind her, and then Amity heard another voice.
"Is...is that really how you feel?" Emira. Amity turned around quickly to see both of her siblings staring at her in shock. She stood frozen.

"I...that's what they always say isn't it?" Her voice was hard but it shook. She stared angrily at the ground. "If we're not perfect then we're not good enough, right?" ...idk-what-goes-here
(Em) "Amity, you are so much more than just 'good enough'. You're passionate and strong, and you're so, so smart. You're amazing. No one is perfect, no one can be perfect - mom and dad definitely aren't - so please don't torture yourself trying to live up to their impossible expectations. You deserve so much better. You deserve to be happy with what you have and what you've accomplished."


if you're curious, yes this is how I "plan" out all of my stories. it's not the best method but this is just for fun so who cares lol
