Yes of course if I had tons of money and lived in the middle of Virginia I’d buy an abandoned factory and fill it with a model of the town I live in and mint plants and all of the little trinkets and supernatural objects I’ve collected over the years and all my closest friends. What else?
Too many beds
Accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss
Really nice guy who hates only you
Academic rivals except it’s two teachers who compete to have the best class
Divorce of convenience
Too much communication
True hate’s kiss (only kissing your enemy can break a curse)
Dating your enemy’s sibling
Lovers to enemies
Hate at first sight
Love triangle where the two love interests get together instead
Fake amnesia
Soulmates who are fated to kill each other
Strangers to enemies
Instead of fake dating, everyone is convinced that you aren’t actually dating
Too hot to cuddle
Love interest CEO is a himbo/bimbo who runs their company into the ground
Nursing home au
I love aftg because it’s literally impossible to water down the characters. Literally everything that they do is based on the unique intricacies of their circumstances. Like there’s no surface level behavior for them because they’re all so individual and have different responses to the situations they’re placed in.
This is also abt how annoyed I get when people try to dumb characters like Neil Josten to “short and feral and depressed” or Andrew to “angry and spontaneous bad boy” when they’re SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT RAHHH
Do y’all think Jean and Kevin used to play smash or pass but it was court or not court
Everytime I reread tfc I try to find a reason as to why Columbia needed to happen and I genuinely cannot find one. Like why did they do that??? I could never be Neil cause my sensitive ass would have quit immediately.
My favorite character in aftg is Neil’s hair. Because wdym after years of being on the run and constantly having to change his identity AND play a dangerous physical sport he still kept his gorgeous locks? He could have saved himself half the trouble of dyeing and holding it back by just getting a buzz cut, but the poor guy just didn’t have the heart to cut it.
Kevin and Jean being bitches in the same room together is so powerful. level 10 cuntquake two million dead
this is a post born primarily out of personal interest/necessity but i hope it will be useful to other people too. outtakes and cut scenes from trc have been floating around fandom spaces for a while, but they are infuriatingly hard to track down: some of them have been reblogged without tags and are therefore lost in the depths of tumblr, some i did not get to reblog before maggie deleted her tumblr, and some were posted to twitter and subsequently deleted.
so, since i was tired of having to dig through months and months of my trc tag (and often coming up empty handed), i decided to compile all the deleted scenes i could into this post. it is possible that i have forgotten some, and if that is the case, please let me know.
i owe a big debt of gratitude to kelly @harvardparrish for compiling a downloadable archive of maggie’s tumblr; most of the outtakes below i retrieved by browsing maggie’s “how i write” tag in the archive and taking screenshots of the relevant posts. others were screenshots that were posted to twitter by maggie, which i managed to save before the tweets were deleted.
enjoy!! (under a cut for length and future edits)

It was the 90's! Yeah babe!
I read a head canon saying Harry hated tight clothes after his childhood with the Dursley, always wearing Dudley's too big for him stuff. So here he is in his baggy!
Hermione's in high colored outfit
And Ron with the inevitable combo backpack/army jacket.

I hate when all the banter and quips immediately end after two characters start a relationship. Like let them love and hate each other! It’s not enemies to lovers if they just magically stop arguing after one kiss.
