                            FUN FACTS/BTS

so here is a fun little place where i share things that almost happened as well as possible screenshots from my crazy kid note in my notes app 😁😁
i will also update this chapter as i think of things to add and find references to other things i find as i edit or something

#1: gina's name
-i was dead set on naming gina courtney partly because of courteney cox and partly because i wanted robin to give her a nickname and i like the nickname court
-i landed on gina because i had just finished writing take on me, and the oc in that is stephanie, so i wanted to be able to write a shorter name because i would end up saying her name a lot of the time

#2: the s3 truth serum
-when steve, robin, and gina were all high on the truth stuff in season 3, that was when gina was going to confess her love
-i didn't end up doing that because things ended up going a lot slower, and it wouldn't have made sense for gina to tell robin she loved her within, like, two days of knowing her

#3: end of s3
-gina was going to live with stephanie and steve after billy died

#4: vecna's killings
-gina and max were going to be cursed by vecna and both die at the same time
-i wasn't going to change the whole "four chimes, four gates" thing to five only because i was so set on killing gina

#5: max's coma
-i was so torn about killing max and staying true to the series or not killing her and staying true to take on me, which i had done for the entirety of s4
-it was so late at night and i was having an existential crisis about killing max and i was so confused i pulled out a notebook and wrote down a timeline which i will add here:

(i promise i have better handwriting) (i normally write in cursive anyways)

-obviously i didn't end up killing her 👍🏻

#6: killing gina
-i was dead set on killing gina when i wrote the first chapter of s4, but right after i published it and people commented, i immediately changed my mind
