@PineDeerTufts 100%, though I can get behind stan believing it's onesided + having leftover resentment from ygo/assburgers in his POV.
but yessss!! there's so much you can say about how stan and kyle clash in how they experience empathy and i wish more people talked about it.
i really love toxic style but i feel like the "kyle completely doesnt have any attachment returned to stan" is one of the most one note boring and, in my personal opinion, inaccurate portrayals of kyle u can do ngl and sort of a disservice to how much more complex he is
do yall remember the shame of reading fanfiction before it was normalized like damn i used to hide in the shadows and now we’re just talking abt it everywhere
