#anyways I’m just rambling

finally trying to like. watch the flipside bc I don’t have money for the game and honestly like? it didn’t kill my family and salt my crops or anything it was just a mid, weird game that came after absolute peak (the re up). I agree that the characters felt ooc but they felt like stupidly exaggerated versions of what they already were. like we all knew Jeffery was a freak. he was a self insert of SBN3 written so he could be weird to women. he took a photo of Nicole in her underwear and blackmailed her with it, shot up the school over his fetishes being exposed, etc. honestly the game just wasn’t as funny bc like. each game had these girls in miserable situations, they can technically both be “torture porn”. but flipside just wasn’t handled well LOL… the foot shit was nasty, especially considering they didn’t SHOW any of Nicole’s sex work when she did it in the first two games. the Taliban shit was nasty, felt especially weird considering current events and like. general racism. I don’t know like. I do agree that the game just kind of left a weird unresolved pit in my stomach instead of being cathartic and clever like the re-up. idk like I guess snb3 just wanted to alienate his fanbase who wanted fun yuri content? which yknow it worked!! but the game was never really all fun yuri content (even though I do love it). I don’t blame people for hating the flipside, I certainly don’t really like it, but like. again. it just feels like a middle finger kind of exaggeration of what the game Already Was. it was always edgy it just stopped being edgy in a relatable and fun way and just started being edgy in a “cmon man” kind of way. I already see people going through what Jecka went through every day, you’ve got to do more with it to make me want to see it. Re up made it funny, Flipside was just like “HEY SJWS. YOU WANTED A RELATABLE GAME FOR QUEER PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS? FUCK YOU. IM SHOWING THIS TEENAGE GIRL GETTING SEX TRAFFICKED IN THE MIDDLE EAST. TAKE THAT LIBERALS”.

doesn’t matter tho sbn3 bullies autistic kids for fun and hates gay people so. fuck that guy lol. I fully support people taking back his characters bc how do you make a game that is so perfectly relatable to gay teen girls and then decide you hate gay teen girls like

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus is so Wolfstar and stick with me here. Post Azkaban, Sirius is never the same. It’s been 12 years and he and Remus are vastly different people than they were at 20. They try to fall back into each other and their previous routines but they just can’t, like a piano out of tune falling upon tone deaf ears. They argue, desperate to feel a spark of passion, desperate to hold onto the past

“If the glint in my eye traced the depths of your sigh/ Down that passage in time/ Back to the moment I crashed into you/ Like so many wrecks do/Too impaired by my youth/To know what to do”

Desperate to hold onto each other, until they cannot argue anymore and they are forced to accept their new reality.

“If you want to break my cold, cold heart/ Just say, 'I loved you the way that you were'/ If you want to tear my world apart/ Just say you've always wondered”

Remus still meets Tonks and falls in love with her and Sirius just watches, “Your hologram stumbled into my apartment/ Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus/ And I just watched it happen”.

He’s unable to intervene because he ruined Remus’ life once before already and hasn’t he suffered enough? Doesn’t he deserve to be happy even if it’s no longer him being the source of it?

“So if I sell my apartment” for the sake of analysis, I’m considering this to be a metaphorical ‘apartment’ in the sense that a person or relationship can be a home and he felt Remus was a second home (his first and, you could argue only true home being with James and the Potters). So, “selling” the apartment is him letting the relationship die and letting Remus move on, breaking the lease they signed all those years ago avowing to be together forever.

“And you have some kids with an internet starlet/Will that make your memory fade from this scarlet maroon/like it never happened” Taylor uses maroon’s abandoned or stranded definition repeatedly through in both Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department, because “scarlet maroon” is obviously not her saying red red. To me, I interpret scarlet maroon, in both the context of the song and of this post, as kind of leaving someone to bleed out. Alternatively, red is used in warnings and stop signs, so scarlet maroon could be an abrupt abandonment. As time passes, Remus settles in with Tonks and has Teddy, Sirius wonders if what they had ever meant anything to Remus because he made moving on seem *so* easy and that’s something Sirius could never understand.

I’m reminded of a quote from David Foster Wallace, “Everything I've ever let go of has claw marks on it.” Sirius is fiercely loyal and possessive. What’s his is his and despite the war going on, he finally had what he had always wanted: a family that he could hold onto tightly, he found that in the Potters, he found that in Remus, he found that in Peter. All of that was ripped out from underneath him within a 12 hour timeframe. Not even on his worst day would he have done what Peter did. In Prisoner of Azkaban, he confirms that “I would have died rather than betray my friends” when Peter asks what he would have done in that situation. So after 12 years in Azkaban, when Remus finds out he was innocent, Sirius digs his nails into him again, back into the crescent moon shaped scars he left, more desperate than ever to hold on and never let him go again.

But Remus has only ever known letting go. He’s a werewolf and so he knows that at any given time he can have everything taken from him. He loses his teaching position because of it. Very few witches and wizards want to be friends with a werewolf, housing is restricted, and employment opportunities are abysmal. Remus had lost everything in a single day and spent 12 years blaming Sirius for it. When Sirius comes back into his life and he just isn’t the same, it makes Remus yearn for the old them even more so. That this new Sirius, like the old one, was temporary as well. He loves Sirius, truly, but they aren’t the same people they were.

“Could it be enough to just float in your orbit”

For as long as the Moon has existed, it has had company alongside the stars, always in sight of the other, despite not being in each other’s orbit. What I mean to say is that a cataclysmic gravitational pull pulled the Marauders together in that first year Gryffindor dormitory in 1971, for better or worse, forever changing the trajectory of their lives. In Azkaban, Sirius could see the moon from the far window. For most of the year, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky and Remus hated how he always found it.

After their reconciliation and acceptance that they could never work in a romantic relationship again, yes, it would be enough to just be in view of each other. To just be Moony and Padfoot.

“And if you wanna tear my world apart, just say you’ll always wonder/ cause I wonder/ will I always wonder?” In some way, they knew that in another lifetime, they would have kept their lease on that apartment and would have grown old within its walls.

I will always fight that oikawa was never a role model or even a “true” senpai to kageyama (more than just being a senior). He was a goal in its time because he’s someone he still respects, even today, but his true role models were kazuyo and sugawara.

Mostly cus I think oikawa would not be true to his own feelings (even if it’s just his insecurities and pride at that age). But you can still see the influence his grandpa and suga had (we are leaving behind that really his other mayor goal or role to follow is also hinata at this point)

So I’ve been reading on ao3 for years and I used to have an account but the email I used to set it up is no longer accessible and I haven’t the faintest clue what my password would be and I’ve been thinking of making a new account because so many people have had to put their work for archive users only (rightfully so, protect your work) but I was like 11 when I set up my last account and I don’t remember much about it and it seems complicated like having to get approved but also I feel kind of stupid that I don’t know the process since I’ve been reading on there for years just not with an account. Anyways long ramble to say I’m going to try and get another account so that I can continue to read (and now I have full access to my email so I’ll be able to keep track of it and do fun stuff like bookmark fics) and if you feel inclined feel free to slide into my DMs to tell me if they can reject me from having an account cause that seems a bit nerve wracking

someone asked how the boyfriends would be with Faroe after Kayne brings her back, and sorry for being a downer but I’m on the “Arthur doesn’t get Faroe back” hill so I initially wasn’t gonna ponder about it.

And then I started pondering. weeks later. and decided I can indulge just this once because tbh I need more adorable Faroe in my life (we all do). I indulged a little too much tho and decided to make an actual post instead of answering the ask so HERE WE ARE

“You came back wrong.”

Maybe I didn’t want to come back. Maybe you dragged me, kicking and screaming, from a death that while cold and final, was at least my own. When you placed my body on the dissection table, understand that I could not welcome your touch. When you stole back my life for me, understand that you stole it from me as well, because I was not able to choose this.

You chose it for me.

“You came back wrong.”

Maybe I did. Maybe you were desperate to hold on to me and I was desperate to hold on to myself, to keep believing I had any control over my own body, my own soul. Maybe in that moment of struggle between your fear and my will, you pulled too hard and left a part of me behind.

Maybe that was the part of me that you loved.

Maybe that was the part of me that loved you.

“You came back wrong.”

Oh, my love. What makes you think I came back?

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without
