Sparkstember Day 28: The Sparks Brothers

I'm not a movie person... So when I do actually rewatch a movie (I mean, even watch it, at ALL, haha) it must really mean that something is up. I mean, well, it also IS a thorough, highly enjoyable and visually appealing movie about a band that I've been so incredibly invested in for the past several months. So maybe it's a surprise that I don't watch it more often actually. Because one beautiful side-effect of seeing it each time was getting an unexpected and very strong surge of motivation to keep on going towards the things that matter to me the most, despite any and all obstacles that could appear on the way. Another side-effect of it is being happy and joyfull and being filled with warm feelings and thoughts for the whole following day at least. Usually up to 3 days afterwards actually.

But ok, of course, what I'm getting at is that the Maels' story is so incredibly inspirational. Seeing how they persevered through all those years and NEVER lost their spirit or their vision, never gave up... is not only moving but also something that reminds me that wow, so much *really* is possible. I spent so many years fully convinced that there are things that I'll never be able to achieve. And sure, some of them are indeed pretty unlikely to happen. But if you told me from even one year ago that I'd be making art daily and not dreading being so much as perceived anywhere in the great world (so, including the internet)... well, I would have not believed it at all. I really mean it when I say that I used to believe that there are things that I'll just never be able to do. It's like it was simply not meant for me to be able do it and have those experiences. And yet...!

There's a lot I owe Sparks and this is one of the biggest things I'll always be grateful for. They really changed my life for the better. Truly nothing else before them reaches the same degree of how much it helped me. And well, I'm saying this on TSB day because this is where this feeling of gratitude and feeling SO lucky becomes the strongest. And the beautiful thing about it all is that they were always just themselves. They had their vision, they knew what they wanted to do and didn't care about how it would be received. Which is such an important and meaningful message to me, I can't even express how huge it is to me to see these two people who only really had themselves and their endurance and got exactly where they wanted to be.

Alright, some less grandiose observations now. Well, let's start with the fact that this was by no means my introduction to Sparks but it still really cemented my love for them even more. I loved being reminded of their whole journey and learning more about it, and even moreso I loved being able to see more of their beautiful brotherly bond and their wonderful personalities. Truly no other people in this whole world make me as happy as them currently. And the brothers' sense of humour hits super close to mine, so this is also a time filled with genuine laughs (I die laughing at the absolutely true Sparks facts at the end EVERY TIME). And since I'm a huge fan of animation and mixed media art and such things, this was simply a joy to view for my more artistically-inclined side too.

And damn, those two hours and 15 minutes really fly by so fast. When I have to arrange a huge timeslot to watch it all in one go, because that's the only way to do it for me, and then it feels like no time has passed anyway. And even with so much being said there, it feels like there's still so much more to get to. But it's still enough to lift my spirits completely for a pretty long time. And to make me cry a lot of the time too... Absolutely impossible to not shed a tear by the end of it all. It's moving, it's funny as heck, it's super fun and it's absolutely beautiful and truly lifechanging. 💖

Aaaa hi!! Ily 🖤🖤 here's a little snippet for you from a little death

It was the kind of hour that when you turned your head, cheek squished to soft leather as you did so, your tired gaze had found Tom, Enzo and Draco all in various degrees of wakefulness on one of the sofas. 

The elder Riddle was unsurprisingly the most alert and, maybe even more predictably, whispering with a heated kind of determination.

Swept up in an argument that Draco had no doubt started and was now severely regretting it given the way the blonde was slouching further and further into the cushions, eyes squeezed shut and his pale fingers pinching the bridge of his nose in weary annoyance. 

He could have just relented - should have for his own steadily decreasing sanity. Or safety. 

Both, really. 

But Malfoy was nothing if not stubborn, and in the next second he was muttering something under his breath before he could help himself. 

It resulted in Tom’s eyes narrowing before he leaned in so quickly that Draco blanched and both movements startled poor Enzo who had been trapped between them, half-asleep and now very much looking like he planned on throttling the pair of them. Regardless of the gruesome ending he would receive for the attempt. 

In the midst of their chaos, you let your eyes drift lazily to where Blaise was draped on the armchair beside them, rings glinting in the low-light as his fingers stroked gently through Pansy’s hair. The girl curled up in his lap, eyes closed and lips parted, dosing lightly against his shoulder after spending hours talking with you. 

And every now and again the boy would lift his head from atop of hers to speak, voice just loud enough to be heard without disturbing the sleeping girl in his arms, throwing an inflammatory remark into his friends’ already rapidly escalating debate just to see who would lose their shit first out of the three whilst he watched on and snickered into his drink. 

You couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of it all, a sticky- sweet kind of fondness dripping through your chest, making your heart glow golden in a way that told you this is what true happiness felt like.

And the feeling only grew when you felt a socked foot pressing into your thigh. Two small nudges, a sweet sort of quiet ‘you okay?’, from the boy slouched on the other side of the sofa who was watching you watch everyone else. 

Theo’s lips twitched upwards when you pressed back, eyes shining at the way you had to struggle to do so because Salazar help you, being piled on a sofa with your two best friends meant you could hardly tell which limbs were yours, much less move them.

It was what you got for letting Mattheo paw at you when he’d finally had enough of having to share you when Pansy eventually left your side. For giving in to his sleep-soft eyes and pretty pleading, the gentle neediness of his fingers curling around your wrist so that he could lure you onto the sofa that you were now trapped on like a pillow beneath the weight of him sprawled on your chest. 

You could only imagine how it must have looked. 

The tangle of yours and Theo’s legs forging an odd cradle for the younger Riddle who was sleeping lightly, moving every now and again like he couldn’t get close enough, like he wouldn’t be happy until his face fit into the exact curve of your neck and every part of him was pressed to some part of either you or Theo. Your thighs bracketing his stomach and his legs thrown over one side of the other boy’s hips, dangling over the edge. 

It was ridiculous. 

It was too warm. 

It probably wasn’t a normal way for three friends to act with each other.

and the fic for @obikinlifeguardau is posted! this was very fun to write. a quick preview:

On the whole, Obi-Wan would say he enjoys working at the local leisure centre. It’s a nice change of pace from his other job — teaching beginner language courses at the university an hour’s train ride away a few days a week — and he’ll never say no to spending time by the water.

He can swim and use the centre’s gym for free, which is always useful. He can  use the times he’s not on active shift to read in the café and pretend not to listen in on the conversations of parents watching as their kids learn to swim. He can join the conversations of those parents he’s friendly with after being around the centre for this long.

He can also act as though he’s not staring at Anakin when it’s his turn to be watching the pool.
