#oops made myself cry

[alltoounwellll]

after azkaban sirius notices the new scars. some fresher than others. winding themselves around remus’ body like jagged wire.

“show me your scars” he says one morning. their legs tangled together beneath linen sheets.

“why?” remus asks, shying away.

“because I want to see how many times you needed me and I wasn’t there.”

What soft love songs the Fellowship dedicate to you (and why) <3

In the mood to make myself cry, plus I’m in my ‘i was i wasn’t lonely’ phase of the night.

Pulled most of these from my notes app lmao, and i listened to each one while writing, I highly recommend giving them a listen!

GN! reader, mostly you/your used :) (Obviously some songs will involve specified gender, please correct as you need, and remember that these characters would absolutely make these changes as well)

Frodo Baggins - Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton-John (Grease)

He definitely has the distinct memory of the classic slow burn moment of “Oh. Oh.” happening, where he realises just how much he loves you. He knew he was head over heels, and he looks at you like you hung the moon. And if you sing it to him- UGH😩💙. IN LOVE, HE SHALL BE. He probably hums it a lot when doing work or writing. Of course, the lyrics are quite relatable to him. Frodo has this internal belief that the person/people he love/s can’t love him nearly the amount he adores them. He was willing to sit around and wait on you, in the hopes that you would see him in the same way. His brain knew he should just move on, but he couldn’t let go, and he’s glad he didn’t. He’s so devoted to simply loving you.

“Hold on to the end, and that’s what I intend to do. I’m hopelessly devoted to you~”

(gotta appreciate that me looking up his name resulted in a bunch of po-tay-toes memes. anyway. back to the hcs)

Samwise Gamgee - Hello, Hello - Elton John ft Lady GaGa (Gnomeo & Juliet)

He’s a sucker for meet-cute stories, and would unironically love this movie, even setting aside this banger of a song. The moment he saw you, he felt captivated by your beauty, whether or not the meeting went well or if you fell on your face. The song is just so cheerful and wholesome. He probably told you that the song reminded him of you, and that sparked the romantic relationship. Every time this sequence plays he’ll just look at you (if/when you watch the movie). PLEASE SING THIS AS A DUET WITH HIM AAAA. (He isn’t Elton John, but his voice is lovely 🥰)

“Hello, hello (Hello, hello), my, my, my, what have we here?”

Peregrin Took - I’ll Be - Edwin McCain

Honestly it’s hard to explain this one. It’s just so soft and sweet and really describes how he feels about you. Also as the youngest and a, quoting Gandalf here, “fool of a Took!”, the line “and I’ll be, better when I’m older…” is just- MWAH. This song reminds me of him honestly. He is, as the song states, “your crying shoulder”, the “greatest fan of your life”. Everything about you takes his breath away. We all know he’s the best singer in the fellowship, and its just gorgeous to listen to him sing it, especially because he means every word. He also probably dedicated this to you early on in the relationship, and it was definitely your wedding song (if you got married).

“I’ll be, better when I’m older. I’ll be, the greatest fan of your life~”

(tumblr needs more Merry gifs istg-)

Meriadoc Brandybuck - Nothing - Bruno Major

Honestly you wouldn’t expect such a lowkey song for such a high energy guy, but he’s a sucker for lazy days and sweet moments. He’s, as he likes to say, ‘work-avoidant’, and just wants to spend all his time on you. He also finds the song easy to sing to you, so thats a plus. The lyrics just resonate with him, similar to my picks for Pippin and Frodo. He’s very competitive, but he honestly doesn’t mind losing to you. He pretends like romantic or soft movies don’t make him cry, even if they do. He gets the appeal of going out and drinking and laughing, but just staying at home with you just sounds so much nicer to him. Its all about the little things in life with him, the small moments, the laughs, and every ‘I love you’ that makes him feel lighter than air.

“Dumb conversations, we lose track of time. Have I told you lately? I’m grateful you’re mine~”

Aragorn - Dark Red - Steve Lacy

He knows how dangerous his work and life is, and he’s always had this fear of leaving you behind (hence the ‘something bad is ‘bout to happen to me’). He only sees you in his life, no matter who else is wanting for his attention, he’s so devoted to you. He only hopes that you’ll stay by his side and fight with him, and he’s not willing to give up on you. No, he refuses to give up when you are involved, and he fights so hard to keep you safe and protected. The song also is easy to mumble to you when he’s tired, and it’s soothing for him to listen to. It’s just a symbol of how much you mean in his life, and how he trusts you with his heart.

“Only you, babe, only you darlin’, only you~”

Legolas - Lover - Taylor Swift

Unabashed Swiftie in general, but this song just hits different. So first off he probably already called you his lover, and when he found the song he thought it was perfect. I can definitely see him learning guitar and playing this song for you as well. Into the actual song analysis, this song frames his want to be close to you, the mysterious way he was drawn to you, the way he felt like time flew by whenever you talked. Also I feel like he’s made jealous relatively easily, and that’s also in the song. His heart has been borrowed before, but he’s glad he’s ended up with you, to hear your jokes, save you seats, and call you his lover. He definitely likes to sing this to you late in the night, and i can see him humming/mumbling it whenever the two of you just stand and hold each other. Its so wholesome, and he loves the way your eyes light up when he sings it with all the love in his heart, all of it for you.

“You’re my, my, my, my… lover~”

Gimli - If You Love Her - Forrest Blakk

Honestly, he’s not a very observant dwarf, but he does pay attention to you. He knows you, and he cares a lot. Protective of you to a fault, but just wants everyone to know that they shouldn’t take you or your heart for granted. He hates to admit it, but he thinks you are precious (I’M SORRy-) and every small thing about you is worth taking note of. And he does, so he knows exactly how to make you happier. He’s your personal hype-man, and truly believes that you are the best thing he has ever had. He uses the song as a guidebook on how to treat you, and while he won’t say it, or sing it, he does play this song for you and leave in a huff, just hoping you’ll know this song is meant to say that he loves you. (He might even dub it over with your preferred pronouns for the big reveal, and it’s quite funny)

“They’ll love you, if you love them like that~”

Boromir - Summer Love - The Workday Release

Boromir really thinks this song demonstrates his feelings towards you, and how he wishes you’d stick around with him. You remind him of the summer, warm, bright and hopeful. It was so simple for him to fall in love (it’s like counting 1,2,3). He’s awestruck by your beauty, and doesn’t find it enough to dream about you, he needs to be holding your hand, feeling your presence. He wants to face the world with you there next to him. You always manage to give him a smile, make sense to him, and be honest. He’s not sure how to articulate everything he feels around you, so he just says that he loves you.

“Surely this is love, this is love, this is summer love~”

WOOOOO IM DONEEEE

Ive been writing for the past 2+ hours and it’s late and I’m tired, but I really hope you enjoy. If you want to request a fic, any fandom will do, I’ll get back to you on it, I promise.

Let me know if you want me to do a Part 2 with some other characters <3 Have a great day!!

[heavnlyhetfield]

Have you seen that Connie Burton interview where she says that Cliff showed a lot of signs of someone who knows they’re passing soon and when he was going off to the tour she told him “don’t go” and he responded with “I have to do this” (not the exact words but along the lines of that) and she also mentioned he was reading a book about spirituality or something of that sort

man.

this hurts. at least he was at peace in some way.

there’s a story about the last photo taken of him for the damage inc tour pamphlet; he’s kissing the camera goodbye and wanted the photo thrown out because it was so out of character for him. lars insisted they keep it, and it was printed.

also, his last words. “maybe i will, maybe i won’t.”

in some way, he might have known his time was limited. i believe certain people are more in tune with energies and stuff like that, and cliff was definitely one of them.

i love him a lot

[kadextra]

it really is all about love, isn’t it <3

So it's canon that not only does patton keep romans old costume,

And have virgils card taped over his bed,

but his cat hoodie was also a gift from logan.

How many times a week do you think he holds these items close and just cries about how he's driven his family away?

(at least he has this card from janus now, too...)

prongsfoot and wolfstar in the last chapter of Presque Vu by @starsworth

[dazais-guardian-angel]

With today's entry, I was rather surprised and confused that Johnathan seemed to turn around so quickly from the absolute pit of despair he was in yesterday, having newfound determination and energy when he's seemingly been completely hopeless and inactive for weeks now (and for good reason). Not that I ever thought he'd completely given up, but there's definitely been a slow decline in how descriptive his journal entries have been to reflect his declining mental state (more robotic, less of his actual feelings about things), and today was a sharp contrast; it feels more like the early entries again. I thought, well, his mind is probably just so cracked at this point that he's looped all the way back around to being bold and energetic again, because by now he's desperate enough to throw caution to the wind: he either succeeds doing something extremely reckless to escape, or he fails and meets his end in a far better way than if he just waits for his fate by Dracula's hands.

...But having thought about it and reading other posts, I realized (probably stupidly obvious as it is) that his sudden change in mood probably has to do with what happened to the baby. Despite how scared he's been all this time, yesterday he didn't hesitate for a single second to try to save the baby once he realized from the previous incident what was happening, not thinking about his own life at all. And then he despaired when he couldn't save the child, the first time he's mentioned crying in the book at all, and then he had to witness the mother blaming him for her baby's death, and being killed herself for trying to rescue it. Now, the day after that horrific and heartbreaking failure, he's suddenly more determined than he's been in ages to escape. Maybe that was a turning point for Johnathan, and lit a fire under him... maybe he's clinging to the need to escape not just for himself and the people he loves anymore, but for the vain hope that he can put a stop to Dracula's schemes somehow once he gets out, because he doesn't want to let any more children die :' )

Okay I know we're all ignoring/very upset about Soap's death in MW3, and believe me, I'm right there with yall

But how poetic is it that he's the one that died

When he's the one that Ghost warned "People you know can hurt you the most"

When losing him has to be one of the worst pains Ghost has ever experienced

I think there's a lot of other nuanced things about Soap's death that can make it poetic, but obviously the developers fumbled the ball and totally fucked it all up.

[alltoounwellll]

whatever you do don’t think about remus saying “mischief managed” right as he’s about to die cause he knew he was the last one left

[inconsistentracoon]

Unsure if I'll have a good spot to put this in the next chapter but I'm quite happy with this draft scene so sharing it here in case it gets cut...

----

Merlin's quill was flimsier than the ones he used. Merlin must keep some spare ones around. Arthur began searching the desk drawers and found them as messy as Merlin's desk. No doubt Merlin had his own unique organisation system, based on how he liked to arrange Arthur's belongings. He rustled through the papers and found a collection of battered quills buried beneath them.

He was about to close the drawer when one of the many notes caught his eye. One with his name amongst the words. There was a piece of string looped around it and when he reached for it discovered it was tied to a small wooden box, and there was more writing on it. He'd read enough of the speeches Merlin drafted for him to recognise his penmanship. He took it from the drawer and as he read the note his pulse quickened.

Gaius, If I don't make it home, could you give this to Arthur for me? I'm sure he'll want it back, and please tell him thank you, I'll forever be grateful for it. -Merlin P.S. In case you haven't found it yet, there's a letter for you in the book you gave me.

When he pulled the paper away Arthur recognised the little square box at once. With shaking hands, he opened it and took out the sigil bearing his mother's family crest, that he had given to Merlin so many months ago. He ran his fingers over the familiar engraved bird. It's edges had become smoothed over the years because of how often he used to do this. He tucked the letter away in his pocket, placed the sigil back in the box with care, and returned it to the drawer. He'd leave it there for Merlin to find when he woke up.

I know I keep saying fuck the writers because of later seasons but also I love you and I thank you writers for giving us one of the greatest love story that I'll treasure forever

[locamotivednp]

Thank you all 🍉

I got all sappy about this last time, but I’m gonna do it again. If you didn’t know, I am Arab American and grew up very passionate about Palestine. It very much felt for a long time that no one else cared.

It truly truly means so much to see so many people, and this community in particular, became so passionate about Palestine. It was something I never thought would happen. I never thought the western world would educate themselves. I never thought they would care.

It is a really really hard time to be an arab American. It is so hard to check the news everyday to see another atrocities. But for the first time in my life, I don’t feel alone in it. Hope is so so important.

I see you all advocating and raising money and it means so much 🇱🇧🫶🇵🇸

some very very quick costume shorthands!

Huh. If my life was a quote, it'd be "one of those sad ones with a deceptively happy tune"

[part-time-zombie]

Real quick:

Do you think anyone ever told remus they love him?

[bojackhorsemanobviously]

based one a reddit thread of how secretariat/bojack commit suicide involving water.. and aside at being annoyed at people saying he wasn't suicidal because yeahhewas.. . it got me thinking again about bojack idolizing how secretariat offs himself as much as didnt like ana she wasn't wrong bojack did fetishes sadness

secretariat was bojacks childhood hero I fully believe that bojack himself idolized this lowest point of secretariats life and thought it might bring him some sense of peace while his legacy could still live on ..he will be remembered in DEATH. in sarah lynn song it goes end it and your legacy goes on/ Im going out in my terms..

he has such a deep seed fear of being forgotten seeing a man he loved be immortalized after death.. secreatriats death def impacted his 9 year old brain. his parents didnt care if he existed so latching onto fame and a legacy makes so much sense for him esp when its from a man that gave him a minute of his time which is more than his parents bothered with. . . and sadly he just seens to want to end things when he feels he has no one left usually its from pushing people away his brain can't belive anyone of his friends still care about him.. obvtheydo but when your do in despair you cant see that.. so he just lets go nothng matters and i think he tries to find peace in ending it.. . he sees the bubbles after crashing his telsa and seems to wait to see if someone will save him and in one second he just lets go doesnt bother to swim. I love how PB is the one to save him for 2 seconds bojack see,ed happy about this and was just oh this guy cares about me.. I do have someone who loves.. then PB says bojack didnt win an oscar/none of this matters and walks away.. like read the room pb.. that is not what you say to a suicidal man .

his reaction to sarah lynns death not even just driving at 90 hoping to crash until he sees running horses feels like a animal going someplace alone to just eventually die until he meets the fly guy he didn't seem to care at all that he could get hypothermia.

I find it interesting how his last attempt his intentions seem to be if he died and went to an afterlife he could get some kind of closure with loved ones ..

I wonder if bojack would benefit from anti depressants like diane I cant imagine him being happy if he gained weight from them but i ponder this sometimes.. or maybe he would over do it or be to afraid to try due to pass addictions hmm. I do love how the show ends with Todd giving bojack advice when he sees him still lack confidence to stay sober/ Diane telling him life's a bitch but you keep living.. ending on view of halfway down would be a terrible message and a terrible ending for a show about a man with severe depression succeeds in death.. as if terrible actions means thats how they should go.. thats not how justice works. the show ended perfectly

sad songs .. sad song time.. part 2 is the pov of people left behind..
