>>53985349Same. I'm not the type to believe people only objectively improve with time, they just simply adapt, but the person stays the same. Fauna is Fauna. Debut Fauna was not fake Fauna, it was simply a side of her that comes out under the conditions as they were, one we don't get to see anymore. And I fully believe that opened for her doing SOME things (subjectively) better, like how she used to spoil us in ways she no longer does, and how she seemed more calm and calming consistently. And on that vein, it's great today's Fauna is more comfortable in letting loose, but I think it's a bit of a two edged sword that can also end up making herself more stressed in a lot of ways, because she doesn't try to hold back as much she can end up psyching herself out. It pains me when she shits on the old her, because she obviously did a lot right to have us smitten in the first place. It sucks that she wasn't comfortable being how she was, but does that mean I'm a fake fan for falling for her sweet talk? Yeah, that's the end of my shitty blog.
NO, I do not love her less, I don't view them as distinct, I just miss some of the things she no longer does.
tl;dr: I just wish she'd call me a pretty little sapling again whose leaf she misses nibbling on, cause I don't think she would ever say this anymore.
