Dawn and Fireflies

[adorashika]

Let me ruin us, the dreamers; goodbye to the flower of fire blooming in the night sky of yesterday.

夢を見たい僕らを汚せ　さらば　昨日夜に咲く火の花

Dawn and Fireflies - n-buna

translyrics by marocato made for @eyesecurmom

Above, there floats a moon paleing in the deep night I, oblivious to shadows past my sight The stars smudging cross the sky as they blurred Still I, was falling down before I could realize.

Since I had lost then the meaning of my life So I, stay eyes down sprinting past the lights They're all laughing as I'm falling down Still I, pretended I did not see their mocking eyes

Painting over the sky, hear the shapeless songs of my mind Reaching towards the surface of those summer skies Holding out, your hand was beating and warm in mine See the faded skies and luminous fireflies

Since things I hated buried me like in a grave Sometimes I felt like in this world I was a stain Well then, I'd want to travel to a distant place Where I, had made a choice I could not erase

Where I, could try to meet myself face to face

A deep ache, ringing through my chest, looking away As I watch you fade into the distant gray Shotgun to the heart, for us who dream, of better days Farewell, to the fire flowers of yesterday

Like flowers drifting down, on the lake, it glides away Like moonlight shining down, on the lake, its fake and fades

So, say

If I had painted the sky of a distant summer tale Would you then, be pointing and laughing at me? In my dreams of dawn, I saw the moon in full sail

If I could just breathe without the dawn smothering I'd run far and free beyond these summer days Holding out, your hand was beating and warm in mine See the faded sky and glowing sunrise

Now, I'm in a town where summer is yet to rise Ah, see the indigo dawn and fireflies

Nami: [talking about Luffy] Why are you so fascinated by him? Zoro: Because he's something of a mystery. Why are you? Nami: [smiles fondly] Because so few men are.

They ported the HFW fireflies into the Remaster, btw. With the HFW red grass I guess, since they go together.

Thinking about how Dawn goes to sacrifice herself and Buffy doesn’t let her. She is not at fault for her existence. Thinking about how Buffy chooses to stop her sister from being eaten by the same world that foretold her own death when she was only a year older. A meaningless death she walked into because she didn’t have all of the information. And the tragedy of The Gift is that Buffy dies, but the triumph of The Gift is that Buffy decides to die and have her death mean something - both the world and her sister are saved. She has all the knowledge, for once, and she wins.

And the horror of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is that it is a world in which one teenage girl, plucked from innocence and ignorance, is sacrificed for the rest of us. Whether it’s Dawn or Buffy or one of the many slayers that came before. The tragedy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for me is the dehumanization of these girls. Dawn selflessly acting to sacrifice herself is an act of heroism; Buffy stopping her is the moment the show tells us that Dawn *is* a person, actual and whole. And Dawn’s life is worth the world because all of our lives are.

Dawn in The Gift is the through-line for me to Buffy in Chosen - the choice to break the cycle of forced sacrifice. The choice that looks at all those girls and makes the world recognize they are more than cannon fodder. More than objects to be used and abused and discarded. The potentials become slayers who have the ability and the free will to be heroic, to choose to fight - to have the knowledge and the power to decide what to do with it.

The same way Buffy does on that tower, staring at her brave sister. The sister who doesn’t know there is another way, and who is willing and ready to walk to her death.

so this little lady is serenity

she’s a rescue from a rodent mill in quebec and her and her sisters came all the way to my house in southern ontario to be fostered and hopefully adopted out to loving families. her sisters all successfully found homes but the applications for serenity all fell through. honestly it breaks my heart that people decided not to adopt her just because she isn’t super snuggly or is “too old” (she’s only four months old by the way).

luckily though me and my parents were able to have another permanent resident hamster, so she’ll have a loving home for the rest of her life.

she’s come a long way since we first started fostering her and has gone from screaming and running whenever someone touched her to being a sweet squishy bean who loves to explore whenever I have her out.

I love this little weirdo with my whole heart

and yes she is SUCH a weirdo. I blame the fact that she’s from quebec. every once in while while you’re holding her she’ll give you a little nibble just to check if you’ve suddenly turned into a tasty snack. but then she won’t take food from your hands if you offer it to her. It has to be left in her house where she will eat it LATER when no one is looking. she’s so silly I love her.
