"But you know, oh you know in the quiet he holds, Runs a river that will never find home"

Okay, we're connecting LMK characters to Mitski songs again because we're listening to Mitski right now! This time(literally only the 2nd ever) it's Fireworks by Mitski, with Macaque.

We really love analysis and stuff and would like this to be read, so if anyone wants the plain text in a reblog/can't read the font well in the image even with zooming in, tell us and we'll get that done!

This is not in complete defense of Macaque: he is a complex character with many positives and negatives, nor is it a bashing of Wukong who is mentioned, as he is in the same situation. This is not to make Macaque seem like an 'uwu soft boy', it is simply an in depth analysis of a song we enjoy from our favorite artist and how we think that it connects to a character we enjoy thinking about from our favorite show. Just thought that needed to be said somewhere.

Part one, with Wukong being connected to Remember My Name, can be found here:

my 2025 new years resolutions

- read more poetry

- stop volunteering to do shit for other people

- come back more often to my alma mater like a nostalgic dog

- convert urban loneliness into a noir novella (i have to be an author by 18 otherwise I'm ending it)

- start construction on the invisible thick wall between me and other people

- get better at holding back tears at the cinema

- dig my grudges so deep i discover the fossilized remains of my hopes and wants

Mitski said that one morning this sadness will fossilize so all I’m to do is wait

[maraudersmary]

so i am an avid anti of mary obliviates herself after the war like no way would she want to forget her friends despite the pain it causes her to remember and i think fireworks by mitski is SO post war mary like i’m not even joking

‘One morning, this sadness will fossilize

And I will forget how to cry’

the sadness never leaves she just can’t live in the sadness anymore

‘I will go jogging routinely

Calmly and rhythmically run

And when I find that a knife sticking out of my side

I'll pull it out without questioning why’

it hits her but she’s learnt to expect it, she can’t escape it though

‘I will be married to silence

The gentleman won't say a word

But you know, oh you know in the quiet he holds

Runs a river that'll never find home’

remus being the gentleman - she can’t talk about it with him because he’s also lost his ‘home’ and it’s too painful for them

‘And then one warm summer night

I'll hear fireworks outside

And I'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry’

self explanatory - like think of all the parties and pranks that would have involved fireworks - also they were all just like fireworks in her life (i will not be elaborating)

i want to write this as a one shot / short fic would anybody actually read??

Merlin didn't save Arthur from his destiny, but also didn't save himself from his own. He was destined to always be there for Arthur, even if it meant waiting for him to come back.

happy fourth of july does anyone else think about how messed up it was that R*wling chose for Fred to die in front of Percy of all people. Who just broke free from the Ministry and who has returned to mend his relationship with his family and help tight for peace. Who finally gets to see the people he loves again, who he would jump into the Great Lake for, who he’d completely destroyed his relationship with because he valued their opinions so much, only for his little brother to die mid-sentence. And that sentence was about how Fred remembers an old, happy version of him and how that version might be poking through, as if he’s relieved, like he’s been waiting for his big brother to finally crack a joke, and just as his comes to the surface he’s gone. Percy got that glimpse of a close relationship with Fred, who had always opposed him the most, who he got along with the least, and then shockingly lost it all right after. Him throwing himself over Fred’s body, trying to protect him until the very last moment. Not budging when Ron tried to DRAG him off. And how will that affect the rest of his life? Will he forever blame himself? Will he never crack a joke again? I’m SICKKKKK

hello! I chance encountered your lieutenants edit to mitski's 'shame' on tiktok the other day, so I wanted to talk about that.

firstly, what a sickening, gut-wrenching edit (in the best way); truly beautiful. secondly, I enjoy the theme of shame for these characters and all the quotes you used. 'the shame of being seen consumes me', you used for irving specifically (I also like that you gave us a close-up on his fidgety fingers; easily overlooked).

in light of that, I'm curious about your thoughts on these characters' shame. more particularly, how do you characterise their relationships with shame? what do you think is the source of their shame (in each case: for little, hodgson, and irving)? or, what do you think they are most ashamed about? (meta and/or headcanons welcome!).

of course, there's no pressure to respond. I just wanted to share how much I loved your edit (shame is my favourite mitski track, tied with eric) and ask questions if you had more thoughts on the topic :)

That's such a lovely message, thank you for your interest !! I'll try to be concises because I love puting so much thoughts in those kind of edits sksksk

- I'm so glad you liked this Irving part, it's one of my favorite! For him I perceive his shame coming from religion (not surprising), not that he have things to be ashamed of really but I think he is ashamed of "humanity" as a all yk. From this came his need to "set things right" as best as he can. The quote of him I chose : "God sees you", I cut out the "Mr Hickey" for it to be global and not aimed at anyone in particular (does it make sense ??).

The shame of being perceive by other or by God is also tormenting him. He always seems tense or slightly uncomfortable standing in front of people, it looks like he can't really take well eyes on him (really love the job of his actor for this) and so I kinda hc that his own body gives him shame too (he just saw a lot of flaws on it)

- For Hodgson, I think shame hit him before our eyes, he feels/understand it as the journey goes.

From the little we know about him I think he always felt like an outcast in life but was kinda ok with it until he didn’t match anymore what his rank demand of him and so shame came in this harsh understanding of being out of his peer's group. The shame of being the lieutenant Hickey chose to talk to because he (Hickey) saw this "weakness" in him??

His shame is in pair with guilt : I bet he wears painfully the guilt of putting Hickey in Irving's party, and then having to rely on him for surviving.

- In Little's case shame came from failure and his lack of self-worth : he is not rewarded when he succeeded and constantly blamed for every mistakes even when they are not his own, he takes the blame anyway. He fail in public, in the job that is his all life. And this shame makes him incapable of acting because it destroys his self-confidence.

He is ashamed of Crozier’s behavior and his own incapacity at helping him after Franklin's death. He's ashamed for falling for Tozer's words during the opening of the armoury. He's ashamed of proposing to leave the sick. He's ashamed of not being able to make his view value.

I feel like it's a never-ending circle for him, he is trap in this shit.
