I might be the last person to make this connection but I’m reading a fic and I can’t help but notice that remus lupin gives me the same vibes as adam parrish and the reason it took me so long to make the connection is because my first fandom was trc and not harry potter specifically the marauders era until now and 😭 can’t help but scream at the similarities like gansey is james ofc and sirius is ronan!!! and then lily is literally BLUE LILY… I’m going insane but specially with the remus and adam thing like both of them are straight A students bc they’re really intelligent and at the same time they fear that if they’re anything less than that they won’t deserve a place in their school or in the world for that matter, they both have very complicated relationship with their dads and to top it all off they struggle with accepting help from others… they’re to prideful which leads to discussions with their heart of gold best friends… and wolfstar 🤝 pynch ok enough bc if I continue I might scream
#a friend was like HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW IT 😭#i was like I’m sorry it took me so long now we can go crazy about it together#i read the first 3 Harry Potter books in elementary school and then gave up#all I knew about that world was learnt through osmosis and tiktok#until recently bc I became really interested in the marauders and#this revelation came to me#trc#marauders#harry potter#remus lupin#adam parrish

I love how a well-written romance is so often structured as a mystery. A person starts with a certain idea about another person, and over the course of the story, they uncover more evidence that gives them a fuller picture of who the other person truly is. They learn about layers to the personality and backstory that give the other person more depth. They learn how the other person's personality meshes with theirs. Even the third-act misunderstanding fits the mystery structure--it looks like they've uncovered the final secret to the other person's identity, which is that they're not the worthy person they seemed to be, but then discover that they misinterpreted that evidence, or the other person takes steps to apologize and repair the level of trust. When the mystery is resolved, they've reached a full understanding of each other and know they've found a partner they can trust their whole future to.
#also comedy works along a mystery structure#so a romantic comedy is like a double mystery#two different types of mystery clashing with each other and causing hilarity before the truth is finally revealed#if nothing else this batb diversion will spark some interesting romance thoughts#this came to me because i've been slowly rereading beth brower's 'the q'#and i just hit the scene where quincey gets to observe arch outside of work for the first time#just a lovely moment of revelation#and i think that's the one thing that story does really well#and the author in general is very good at applying this mystery dynamic to all her character dynamics whether romantic or platonic#i rarely find myself able to believe in the strength of her characters' bonds that are supposed to exist before the story started#but the developing relationships are so good because of this endless uncovering of mysteries deepening the bonds in a very compelling way#adventures in writing

i realized that, just like how if you take the first initial and the surname of Steph and the Mayor it sounds like slaughter, if you do the same with man in a hurry, you get B. Swift. His name is literally telling you to go fast.
#hatchetfield#man in a hurry#starkid#I am so overtired this came as a revelation for me#nightmare time#nerdy prudes must die#the guy who didn't like musicals#black friday

romance is dead? not if Lisa Swain has something to do about it!
Coronation Street | Carla Connor + Lisa Swain
#Coronation Street#Carla Connor#Lisa Swain#Swarla#Carla x Lisa#Corrieedit#TVedit#it's like Lisa heard Carla's joke and saw it as a challenge#turns out the 'oh' was an 'oh it's romance you want?'. an 'oh you have no idea what you've got coming'#remember during their second marriage when Carla kept complaining about Peter not making any effort to suprise her/be romantic#I know it's a very very different stage in the relationship but the point is Carla has been desperate to be romanced for a long long time#and now she is. it's no wonder she was so impressed on the New Year's Eve date#and getting progressively more shook by each new revelation#I hope we see more of Lisa like this when Carla is finally free from that hospital bed#I literally taught myself how to make gifs this week because I kept thinking of gifset ideas for these two and wanting them to exist#so I really hope this doesn't look like absolute trash because I am definitely still learning#this took a long time to make because there are many decisions to be made about which clips to use and how to frame them#and where to cut the edits to keep the file size low but still convey visually what I want to. plus of course all the image editing stuff#basically a great excuse for me to be a perfectionist#the lighting for that eggnog scene was diabolical. I did my best lol#this idea suddenly came to me while I was working on another set so there is more to come#also I have no idea how tumblr tags work anymore is there even any point putting more than 5 attention-seeking ones?#Cake Watches Corrie

Some of this is an expansion of a thesis that I was prodding at in my speech and debate piece ten years ago in high school (which was an admittedly somewhat naïve exploration of the relationship between science fiction, optimism about the future, and scientific progress, though I stand by elements of it), but there really is something fascinating about the way Back to the Future, as a piece of science fiction media, engages with its own genre.
In the "better" timeline, George McFly, an avid sci-fi fan, goes on to become a science fiction writer. Doc Brown was inspired to become a scientist by the works of Jules Verne (and in the video game, has another Eureka moment when he sees the 1931 Frankenstein film for the first time); in the musical, he describes his time machine as "A car for the stars / Like Captain Kirk's." As a sickly girl, isolated from her peers, Clara Clayton fell in love with amateur astronomy and stories about traveling from the Earth to the Moon.
I'm just so enamored with the fact that, unlike some other media, Back to the Future loves being sci-fi so much. There's a consistent throughline in every piece of BttF media--even the newer ones--that science fiction is something good, and inspirational, that makes people feel less alone, and forges connections, and encourages people to learn and invent. And that throughline is absolutely in conversation with the fact that the 2015 segment of the second film presented a decidedly aspirational vision of the future, even though other contemporary portrayals on the new millennium were starting to skew bleaker and more cyberpunk. It would come across as a little self-aggrandizing if it didn't feel so genuine--and it also helps that some of the positive impacts shown are smaller, and more personal. George finds a fulfilling career. Doc and Clara fall in love. It's more like watching a work of fiction earnestly believe it has something to say than it is watching it be self-important.
"You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it," "Your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one." Do you see. Do you see it.
#like yes it's very cheesy but. by god do we need some cheese sometimes#also when i say my previous takes on this were more naïve#they very much came from a place of feeling like there was a Right Way to talk about the future#which was very high school of me#ten years later i would say that different stories have different goals and a good dystopian critique can have its own kind of optimism#but that being said. the imaginative potential of fiction is real#and i really do think there's something to be said for stories that revel in it - and want us to revel in it too#something something sci-fi cannot save the world but it can uplift the people who will along the way#a very 'somebody will' vision of progress to get a little filk about it#i just really like that bttf embraces that idea#readily and cheesily. would that we could all#f: your future is whatever you make it

Dreamtale is literally Genesis 1 of the Bible.
Dreamtale = Garden of Eden
Tree of Feeling = Tree of Knowledge
Nightmare = Eve
Dream = Adam
Change my mind.

for all the jokes around yasha's inability to succeed on a wisdom saving throw, i feel like fjord really slid under the radar with his fucking 7 wisdom for the entire campaign
#it startles me every time i look at his character stats#like congrats on level 20 admiral but you better keep that anti-scrying amulet#fjord stone#mighty nein#critical role#reminds me a bit of how they didn't notice scanlan's low wis until late in the campaign#and sam was like 'why do you think i'm always doing dumb stuff???'#m9 solstice#since that's where this revelation came from#august chats
