#this revelation came to me

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

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.

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.

My 9 (2009) hot take is that it isn't more fondly remembered because the ending kinda sucks. This is what happens when you aim a movie at odd children and then kill off all the main characters but act like your ending is happy because you're just ignoring their individual personhood and then assuming your audience won't on some level notice.
