#memories :pensive:

[expectopatronum18]

When you talk about SWM, ppl just focus on defending their favs, but imo the thing thts majorly overlooked is how it creates a major plot hole in the pensive system. Technically, Harry dives into Snape's memories, and even then we can see every second of what the marauders are doing, even though Snape isn't looking at them and is said to be immersed in his own paper, both during and after the exam. Even worse, how tf cud he have heard exactly what the marauders were saying even tho they weren't sitting remotely close to each other? Adding on, Snape only tries to get his wand out when james calls out loudly to him, otherwise he would hv known tht james and sirius were coming for him if he could hear them all along. The whole goddamn chapter is named 'Snape's Worst Memory' and yet we witness stuff even Snape couldn't see/hear when he was actually going through it. As much as I love the fact that we get a glimpse into what the marauders were like at Hogwarts, I do wish it was shown in a way tht actually makes sense (as I do with 123693674 different stuff in this series......)

memory management (🛏️1)

⏮️Previous || (📚Previous Stories) || Beginning ▶️

(There's no way. No. No no no. Yes. That happened. It fucking happened. But why can't I remember anything? Where-- no, that's not the right question. Or maybe...)

(Goddammit.)

(Just calm down. Breathe. It happened. It happened to Vincent, not you, he thinks. But that doesn't make it less fucked up under any circumstances. What happened to me? Did anything happen? No, that happened to me too!)

(John doesn't remember anything. Just the heavy feeling inside of his chest and the fever that racked his body days before turning... or at least...

No. Something's not right here.)

(John shakes his head. It's starting to bother him; a total blank spot in his memory. Or maybe...)

(He hears The Werewolf slowly approach but he doesn't turn his way. Something's pulling at the pit of his stomach in all directions. He's not ready to acknowledge it. Not until he gets the whole thing. But what else is there?)

John: "Vin... I think... I think I'm starting to realize something."

(The Werewolf grunts.) "Do you want to say?"

(John feels his expectant gaze.) "No. Not yet. I don't know where I want to start anyway."

The Werewolf: "I can tell."

John: "--don't apologize. Please."

(The Werewolf sighs. That was too much at once.)

(He looks at John again. Why is he feeling guilty?)

John: "Vin. This bed's here for a reason. Right? What does it mean? What happened here?"

(His voice is flat. He's shocked and fighting his mind with the knowledge of what happened. He's starting to understand.)

The Werewolf: "Do you remember anything about this bed? This place?"

John: "No. No. Yes, I have seen this type of bed before." (He pauses.) "Not in the way you'd think."

The Werewolf: "Ah."

John: (quietly) "Yeah. The monitors. The lights. Someone going in and out, checking. The... the smell of the room. It's bringin' up bad feelings."

The Werewolf: "What if I told you this is where we-- I spent the most time?"

(John turns towards him.) "Really?"

The Werewolf: "This is where I was 'locked down' when there were no active experiments performed on me; also where I can be observed from a distance."

John: "Locked down?" (Now there's something he remembers.) "The comas."

The Werewolf: "Yes. So, you do know."

John: "There was something about that in our notes Brian got me when we were figuring all this shit out. I know of them. They put us in one."

(The Werewolf growls softly; that's not quite what he meant.) "What do you know of them then?"

John: "It was a way to stop turning, to stop you from taking over. There's a certain point where you can't but I don't think I've ever seen it."

The Werewolf: "That's what you were told, it was to protect you. It is true; after a point, I don't have the power to take over. It did give you a chance to resist me; in the end, you always succeeded."

John: "And what did they do?"

The Werewolf: "In the beginning, they observed. As we got older, the method became dangerous -- it was beginning to become clear that it could kill us."

John: "They observed that too. Right? Of course they did."

(The Werewolf hears the anger in John's voice. Good.) "Because of that, it gave them an idea to develop a deterrent if I were to ever break out of the coma. In the event that I do, it would overwhelm our healing abilities and paralyze me."

John: "...that doesn't make sense. Use our ability against us? How?"

The Werewolf: "Chemicals. Injected. Inhaled. There was something in them that triggered our healing factor in the wrong way. It permeated in our nerves, our muscles, our lungs, our blood vessels..."

"...it put stress on our heart trying to counteract it. To lay there, knowing each tiny movement can set the chemicals in a chain reaction; our body responds in trying to clear it and overloads itself.

It becomes a race that there's no winner to.

You're helpless in your own body and you can do nothing as it betrays you with each beat of your heart..."

"It is strong, yes. But even that has its limits; it worked but the cost was becoming too high."

(John clenches his fist over his own heart.) "You fought anyway; I don't blame you. I would have done the same. Even if it was going to kill me."

"Hmph." (The Werewolf sits on the other side of the bed, facing away.) "You say that, but I don't believe you. You can try all you want."

John: "Is that what happened? You tried everything you can think of while you were stuck here. You failed in the end."

"Right?"

(The Werewolf stares ahead. It sounds so plain and simple coming from him. Convincing even.)

The Werewolf: (growls) "If I failed, then we would not be having this conversation. For the sake of this one..." (No. He's not going to admit that. Not right now anyway. He changes his mind.)

"I need you to understand; I did not give up. At any point."

John: (quietly) "Then what did you do?"

(The Werewolf looks up.) "I knew that those observers will do anything to keep me alive and I took advantage of that fact."

John: "Did they catch on?"

The Werewolf: "Eventually; the leader did. By that point, I made up my mind."

"I made a declaration. A promise to myself. A threat to others."

("A promise to you.")

look i don't go here. but hum by clara c has always been my "person who knows the awful shape of the universe and tries to isolate themself from emotional attachment & yet finds themself fond of someone ultimately fleeting" song. attach that to a character for me please

ok listening to this song and reading the lyrics i immediately think about Naminé in Chain of Memories. she's effectively like...an interesting take on the Damsel in Distress, where she's a pretty blond girl locked away in a castle, but she has this terrifying ability to manipulate the memories of Sora and those close to him, causing him to forget his childhood best friend Kairi and remember Naminé in her place. So she is actively manipulating Sora's memory and making him believe she's more important to him than she is, thus driving him further through Castle Oblivion and making him lose more of his memories in an attempt to rescue her

...but Naminé is also being manipulated by Organization XIII into doing this. She is a Damsel in Distress in that she is being held captive in a castle by people who are probably going to dispose of her as soon as she outlives her usefulness to them. And part of the reason she uses her powers to make Sora believe he cares about her is because she only recently came into being (long story) and has no actual friends or people who care about her for real—she can only rely on this fake, manipulated affection she's planted in Sora as a hope of rescue and as a shadow of real love

in the end, Sora decides that he does care about her, even if she manipulated him into feeling this way, and when it becomes clear that he will have to forget her in order to restore his real memories, he promises that he will see her and befriend her again.

maybe doesnt fit the interpretation of the song you describe but thats what i thinka bout ....... especially with the bridge, thinking about her being burdened and trapped by her reliance on Sora's love for her when she knows it isn't real and that she's been doing something deeply harmful to him. idk if im even making sense lol

scrolling down the remus tag i either see remus slander or snape slander, there's no in between.

*shakes fist* why. am i so. in love. with a fictional character!!

[darkestrellar]

I'm trying to keep a record of muse connections/dynamics; so far it's limited to existing in my private information documents, because it's kind of disorganised and lame rn, but I'd like to try making a proper connections page someday, because I think they're nice. I have no object permanence, apparently, so that's the other reason: to help keep things Present in my head (part of ongoing process of me trying to organise things better so I can function better).

THEREFORE! Like/reply to this post either if Svern has an existing dynamic with your muse(s) and you'd like it On The List, or if you'd like to create one / work on building an unfleshed-out one more. If you have something specific in mind pls add that, it'll help!

      man, being blocked by someone you never met feels weird ... part of me probably knows the reason why tbh. probably has to do with a guy who got called out but, its whatever.

[stoportotouch]

@thaliatimsh i found it in a Very unlikely source, which is page 101 of this! unfortunately having just looked on findagrave has suggested that this person may be making up the Edward (which is puzzling). it did, however, find me both hodgson's brother's grave and his wife's grave, and also a (from what i can tell) completely unconnected hodgson family who were also the family of the vicar of hartburn.

Mystery Man Mark 2

We are deep in the research sauce, my friends. come scoop me out, I’m about to Battersby another mystery man of the franklin expedition: Second Lieutenant George Henry Hodgson.

Keep reading

[lightbulbshineon]

oh, i just remembered! if you're interested on the death eater side of things, the goblet of fire and order of the phoenix are your best bets. in the first one, you'll meet barty. in the second one, you'll see the characters (especially moody) talking about a few events from the first war (that's where some names from the "slytherin skittles" come from, althought their personalities and punk attitude is all fandom). the half blood prince focuses more on voldemort's childhood, if you're interested, and you'll get a few insights on snape. deathly hallows has backstory on dumbledore and snape as well.

Goddamn, I don't remember anything at all about them besides, like obviously, Barty being Moody, the Dumbledore/Riddle tour down memory lane, the bullying of Severus, and memories of some trials in front of the Wizengamot. I really need that reread, huh?
