>>102287926I mean I can tell you why I think it's cool, even though I'm not crazy into it.
- good aesthetic (love that turquoise)
- morally grey/dark protagonists
- the AU itself can be taken many different ways, it's not set in stone
- features birthmark, which the series never meant to
- can have them contrast the town or change the entire tone of the town
- extra opportunities for dark magic which are all in Journal 2
- more Gideon and Pacifica
- very different use of Bill
In short it's very good for art, which is a primary thing in eastern fandoms compared to western fandoms where it's 50/50 art/fic.
