sirius pov
joffery?! what is your offer
chapter 23
regulus telling james abt irene ☹️
why is this sad
they’re flirting
ope nevermind flirting over
regulus holding james ❤️‍🩹
i bet the audience is eating this up. which is kind of really sad. like. they’re having a moment and everyone’s just. watching.
SOUP 
they’re literally katniss and peeta in that one scene
“thank him” im just as confused as you are regulus
regulus feeding james (this is giving me the ick lowkey)
them talking about their relationship i hate that regulus is only doing this for the games
ugh i hate that james is being so james right now like. i want them to do this in peace and privacy and without the context of the games
“I used to collect brown rocks if they reminded me of your eyes” if someone did that for me i would cry
regulus telling james he was his first love
KISS ALREADY
i feel bad rn bc im like. the audience. intruding on their private moment. i know this is purely fiction but still. 
😯 they kissed
a sad kiss but a kiss nonetheless 
they’re kissing for real now eeeee
“That was one of the happiest moments of my life” ☹️☹️☹️
“now James knows that Regulus would kiss him in the pursuit of saving his life, if there literally was no other option” i am so sorry james
“peter wouldn’t betray me like that”
the tension rn (and not in a good way)
my sister is watching my favorite episode (s2 e13) of regular show rn im getting so distracted this is going to be my last chapter
“You can't protect me from this, because I'm already here” 💔
why is this SO SAD
“If there's one thing all of this has taught me it's that I've always cared” 
the end notes: “everyone: WHEN WILL THEY KISS??? me: be careful what you wish for” this feels targeted

Omigosh these two royal idiots in love
I I bet they’re giggling and holding hands while destroying precious memories of their citizens
”Feels something changing” eh? Sorry it’s just canon!Wish didn’t give us much but the novelization is very AshaxDahlia heavy
YES SIMON HELPS THAT WOULD’VE MADE HIS MOVIE COUNTERPART BETTER
HE STANDS UP AND SINGS AND PROVES HE’S WILLING TO GO AGAINST MAGGIE
THE YOUNG GENERATION IS SINGING IT, BREAKING THE CYCLE OF VIOLENCE
Although Asha has her Sabino… maybe ghosts/ spirits of her loved ones? I always imagined the scene “A Wish Worth Keeping” would have her family’s spirits (in blue) smiling and cheering her on… sparkly ofc
YES this scene in the movie was my favorite bc it FELT DRAMATIC
I said before “Knowing What I Know Now” was my fav but Anny I changed my mind “Wish (Reprise)” is my favorite
YES TAKE BACK YOUR KINGDOM FROM THE STRAIGHT WHITE FOLK (Amaya is Greek… what is Magnus? I’m assuming white too)
SWORD YES make it Prince Phillip’s
Gotta admit that falling wish scene in the movie was gorgeous, reminded me of Wall-E
Wait omigosh Asha looks so pretty in that photo where did you get that
*stares at it for hours bc she looks gorgeous*

Smiling as she falls bc she knows HER BAE WILL CATCH HER
HOW are they not dead. The gays only have the power of plot armor

Told you idiots you shouldn’t have spared her. Pride really does come before the fall
Seriously Gothel wasn’t a pussy she stabbed Flynn why didn’t you stab Asha (sorry bby just wondering how they’re so stupid)
THAT’S what you’re worried about man
HE WANTS TO KEEP AMAYA SAFE IN HIS ARMS AND PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS
Lol I’m just imagining a giant whoosh of power and light and Amagnus squeezes their eyes shut waiting for a painful death and then they just. Sneeze. Itchy magic glitter poof
Is this a reference to a past Disney movie? They’re really going the PJO route huh
DAM ANNY THAT’S HARSH
Uh. Wow. Okay Aster I guess they did kill you
Yay we have the citizens standing up!
Wait you make your wish at 18 was this women pregnant really early orrrr
Later? Oh goodness I’m worried for the next chapter
Uh Starsha is being a bit sadistic and Amaya is sobbing for her love…
MAGGIE TURN AND COMFORT YOUR WIFE
Oh btw is Magnus part Spanish? “Mi vida” since Amaya is Greek…
NO NO DANCE PARTY I DON’T TRUST YOU YET
Someone get Gabo some therapy mate
NO WHAT
ASTER WHAT
NO THE STARS WILL COME DOWN AND LEGO BATMAN HIS ASS
VIOLIN-STAR TELL THEM THAT THEY FOUND LOVE AND THEREFORE THEY WILL STAY
WHY DID HE SAY IT SO SOFT AND MATURE WHERE IS MY GOLDEN RETRIEVER BOY
DID HE HEAR ASHA TELL THEM SHE LOVED THEM? DOES SHE HAVE TO DO IT TO MAKE HIM STAY?
”Love is all they needed” Amaya you’re clever but this was all sort of your fault witch
FUCK YOU MAGNUS COMFORT YOUR WIFE OFH WAIT TOO LATE
Tbh I would’ve agreed with Gabo had they injured Val in some way
YEAH THEY DESERVE IT BUT THEY GOT THE PERCY JACKSON HEPHAESTUS CHAIR TREATMENT
Discord DID turn to stone too… how about they turn to stone and THEN get pushed off a cliff
OKAY that was long but it was good
Uh I’m scared for the next chapter? We get Amable’s backstory so do they escape? Will Asha become the FG? Will Aster get LEGO Batman-d by the school marching band of Stars? Is their magic the North Star magic? SO MANY QUESTIONS
Overall though great job Anny! This has been an amazing journey and I can’t wait for the final chapter!

;3 Anon here! Before I do anything else, I want you to know that I agree with your latest repost, XD!
Like, the irony is huge here.
“Oh! We are the most aware people in media ever!”
(Tommy gets tortured for like the tenth time this week because he said that Dream’s a dick.)
“Get over it Tommy! Man, Tommy’s a freaking Gary Stu! He’s a demon! Dream did this for a reason! A very good reason! Tommy’s the one dividing the server! Dream has this greatttttt plan! Why is Tommy such a brat? Why do inn!ters act like Tommy doesn’t have flaws?”
(Dream gets tortured by Quackity)
“HISSSSSS! QUACKITY IS A MONSTER! HE DID THIS FOR POWER! DREAM NEEDS A HUG!”
Someone who was paying attention: But Dream did the same thing to Tommy and Lazerbeam and Hbomb. Also, Quackity also has a reason other then being a power hungry dick. Dream didn’t deserve torture but-“
“REEEEEEEEEEEE! YOU HAVE NO MEDIA COMPREHENSION! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
Oh my god I can't even believe some of the shit takes I've seen like even with the most c!Tommy "sympathetic" ones there's always this implication that any time Tommy expresses how distressed and traumatized and terrified of Dream he is, he's just being a dramatic whiny little bitch abt it and he needs to just get over it and learn to see things from Dream's perspective
Meanwhile canon c!Dream interacting with c!Tommy is like:
"I don't think our story will ever be over, Tommy. I think that... you're just too fun :)"
"And you know I won't kill you, but Tubbo..."
"I lost my friends. And all my stuff. And you."
"That's the Tommy I know :)"
"We can become immortal together, by studying it!"
"And maybe I'll kill you again :) And then I'll revive you and I'll kill you again and I'll revive you and I'll kill you again and I'll revive you and I'll kill you again :) :) :)"
"You're gonna be immortal! You're gonna be immortal just for me to fuck with you every single day, Tommy! :)"
*hides in the walls* *murders him* *murders him* *exiles him, abuses him, conditions him into dependence, drives him to attempted suicide* *stalks him some more* *psychologically tortures him a bit* *traps him in prison with him, more abuse and psychological torture* *fucking murders him again* *breaks out of prison and immediately hunts him for sport* *stalks him some more, this time with psychological torture mixed in*
And that's just what I can remember off the top of my head rn like. How are you going to say with full confidence that c!Tommy being fucking terrified of this guy is at best just a character flaw that he needs to get over and at worst him being obsessed with c!Dream for no reason lmaooo

I explain raincode characters badly for my clueless follower's amusement
Yuma: Amnesiac Protagonist ™ the "I'm gonna do the right thing and Be The Chosen One™ but I'm gonna complain about it constantly" he just like me fr. We have no idea how old he is. I know he looks like a teenager but he probably isn't. I think the funniest thing would be if he was as old as Yakou but that would mean his ship with Kurumi is an FBI OPEN UP situation. Which is already how I was seeing it anyways. Sucks if you didn't. Due to the amnesia, he got this pathetic lost wet puppy vibe about him. Like he's the youngest sibling of the whole cast, altho, again, his actual age might say different, but we don't know anything for sure. At the very least I assume you're supposed to complete high school before starting WDO training.
Shinigami: listen dude if you saw her and thought "that just looks like junko" well you were not totally wrong. I would say that if you put them in the same room they would kill each other but Shinigami got the clear advantage here,being an actual death god and all and unlike Junko, I guess I wouldn't shoot her if I had gun... She is nicer but her moral compass is still skrewed and her personality is objectively terrible altho funny. Most of the time. At least she's useful and her taste in men doesn't suck *looking at pre-amnesia yuma* yeah I'd sign a contract with that guy too.
Zilch: I woulda never ever guessed he had simps if someone else didn't tell me. I got such a no vibe from him. Sir, if you were a wallpaint colour you'd be beige. If you hoped for an explanation for the cat ears, forget it. Just assume he's a furry. I'm with aphex on this one, dude could learn to shut up sometimes.
Aphex: omg dude the trauma dump from this one. I'm so sorry aphex, that woulda never happened if you lived on Giorno's turf (lying).please don't ever hurt yuma or we're gonna have to throw down. I like the irony that *spoiler spoiler spoiler*. What's wrong with your shirt tho? Is that bandages? And your mask? And- am i sounding like Melami rn?
Speaking of Melami: i think I'd be tempted to wear fashion crimes just to get a reaction outta her. I can't figure what that thing on her face is. Is it paint or a face tattoo? Than again i wonder that about half the characters. It was very spicy and cyberpunk of them. She ratio's aphex and it's hilarious.
Pucci 🤝 me dissociating and wishing people would shut up sometimes
Zange: i never had a grandpa who could tell me stories from the war. Shit must be wild.
Yakou: "if there's one thing this coward is good at, it's staying alive" cuz I gotta hand it to him, being the last remaining detective in Kanai Ward could not have been easy. He's an "old man" but again we??? Don't know exactly how old??? He's like both a stressed mother and a pathetic dad rolled into one. Pathetic wet cat energy.
Halara: they could punch me and id collapse on the floor in pain and my last words would be "so cute" but that's just me. Never make any bet with them you WILL lose. you'll go in debt for life. Halara's gender is Halara. I think I could bribe them with sweets. Yanno how once in a while I pick a serious character and make it my mission to embarrass them? I'm gonna be Halara Nightmare's waking nightmare. So dramatic. Literally every loser in the agency is a theatre kid. "With my logic, anything is possible" ya know that older sibling that would make a fool out of you as a kid? That.
Desuhiko: okay. If you know me you know I'm like "respect women or I'm gonna murder you with my bare hands" I've seen worse than Desuhiko, i think it would be unbearable to put us in the same room but he may yet become a guy I don't want to get a restriction order from him for every woman on earth. Chap's a hard worker and a GOOD detective and I can't not respect that and he gives his best to be a bro. He subverted my expectations a couple of times. Theatre kid that was obsessed with costumes. I'd destroy his confidence cuz he'd mention he doesn't wash his hands and I go "EWWWWWWWW"
Fubuki: best girl. Not even worst girl shinigami could resist her for long. She reminds me of the type of character kalim is- such a big heart so few brain cells. She's learning about the world. She's... Kind of a literal god on earth if I stop to think about. She's rich but she's not a mean girl she got SUCH weird girl energy. Youngest sibling energy.
Vivia: I'm normal about him. [Lie] I AM! [LIE] He's not even that bad as far as guys that I like go. I've done worse [Misleading: not a single guy i like is normal] fine. He's one of those dudes that talks in riddles and you gotta really pay attention at what he's saying and the difference between what he's saying and what he actually does. Impeccable mindfuck record. HE LIKES BOOKS!!!!<33!!! Girl that sits in the library and finishes 500 pages book in a single day cuz she got no friends core except he's an goth/emo dude. Dude competes with aphex for the title of trauma dump king. I wanna study him. I wanna play with his hair. If I had a coin for every time i liked a guy with the last name twilight who wore purple and has curly hair I would have two coins- theatre kid that's gonna start reciting a soliloquy in the middle of the conversation. I'm pretty sure he T posed at least once. "I wanna die someday" coin jar. If you look back at this paragraph and realize I told you much and yet nothing about him- yeah. That tracks with the in game experience. Dude never caught a break in his life and nobody deserves one more than him I think.
Kurumi: Yanno that character in sitcoms that was supposed to be a reoccurring side character but then becomes part of the main cast? That. Yuma, probably: "This is my emotional support high school girl. No there's nothing weird going on! She's just my Maya!!"
Swank: Yanno Mister Payne from Ace Attorney? Yeah. That. With a bit of Mister Crabs in him.
Seth: yanno Mister Payne from Ace Attorney? Yeah. That. But with a lot more real hair. His voice is feeble, he's like a baby bird or something.
Martina: i am the last one to say this, and i never condone victim shaming but SIS THIS IS WHY WE GO TO THERAPY BEFORE WE START DATING!!!
Yomi: try to pick the fictional character that you hate the most. Yeah, most likely you're gonna go back and apologize for being so harsh on them after you meet this guy. Not a single redeeming quality to be found here. I don't know how people can call him hot???? But that's prob the demisexual in me showing. Dude read 1984 ONCE-
Makoto: very boss of kodaka to name the evil final boss looking guy of his newest Not-Danganronpa game Makoto. Triple s. Silly. Sus. Strip. I won't elaborate.
Guilliame: you thought shinigami was the monokuma character? Nah. It's this crazy bitch. Her zodiac nonsense in the spiritual successor to the mono theatre.
Guilliame to Dominic, probably: SHUT UP YOU OFFENSIVE STEREOTYPE! Dominic: *approving grunt* (luckly, I speak fluent grunting. Sucks if you don't) every single youtuber i watched gives him more personality than the game would ever bother.
They have a rock metal nun with fox ears. She's awesome.

Focusing solely on amnesia!Quackity for a moment, I actually really like the idea that S2!Dream and Quackity become best buds. Not just because oh my God the dramatic irony of that situation, but also because it kinda makes sense as far as Dream’s character goes: the torture wasn’t that bad, he’s passed it, Quackity doesn’t remember it, it doesn’t matter, keep the peace, this is what you wanted, right? And they WERE friends, once upon a time. Dream wants to be friends again. At least, he thinks he wants to be friends again. It’s complicated. He’s repressing a whole lot of shit rn, okay?
Quackity being terrified of kicking the metaphorical hornet’s nest — ooh, I like that a lot. But I’m gonna go ahead and What If that point by suggesting that this isn’t just about the possibility of a physical confrontation.
Maybe Dream — over the first three/six/twelve/however many months or so of season 2, before anyone else remembers anything — maybe he becomes known for having a whole bunch of physical impairments. He can’t see very well, his reflexes are shot to shit, he walks with a slight limp, he’s scarred up and down and nobody knows how he got that way and nobody talks about how he clearly has some frayed nerves that leave some areas numb and others absurdly sensitive. Far from how S1!Dream was a powerhouse, S2!Dream is easily overpowered in a one-on-one fight and normally relies on his cunning and scrappiness to get away fast. Quackity knows that he could probably take this version of Dream, even if the idea of getting into a fight with him is still unpleasant.
Maybe Dream is really popular. He’s a bit of a doormat, sure, but he’s peaceable and understanding and always seems to just know how to make everyone happy. And him being a doormat makes people much more eager to step up on his behalf (much to his horror). Plus, thanks to his physical impairments, he’s got more than one server member ready to fight if it’s revealed that Quackity tortured him for three months straight. (Sapnap is Dream’s BROTHER.) Not to mention that he’s been pretty chummy with Dream, too: changing that now would be unreasonably suspicious.
But more than that: S2 is GOOD. Quackity’s got a nice thing going here. He’s got his friends, his fiancés maybe, and there’s not a whole lot he’d change about this place. And Dream’s a PART of that, now! He likes this Dream: he’s funny, and smart, and always goes along with the bit. Maybe he even set him up with Sapnap! The guy’s practically his right hand man at this point. Season 1 feels like a lifetime ago and he doesn’t want to go back. Let the past die; he’ll kill it himself if he has to. (He’s done it before and he’ll do it again.)
😭😭😭 and maybe s2!Quackity doesn’t want to think about he’s a torturer, okay. Maybe he doesn’t want to face that. Maybe he’s fine with killing that part of himself. Maybe he doesn’t want to keep waking up from all these fucking nightmares of blood on his hands. Maybe he doesn’t want to think about why Dream is missing fingers, or why he twitches at certain phrases.
s2!Dream and s2!Quackity pretending amnesia on mutual copium is fucking hurting me actually

i was writing counter-meta for some takes i disagreed with in my head in the shower (as i am wont to do) when i had a thought
so, to me, team flare has three layers of goals/motivations:
making the world beautiful in the sense of getting rid of perceived ugliness, like people who are deemed "unworthy" due to factors outside of their control (i.e. team flare grunts talking about how team flare is going to get rid of ugly poor people who are polluting the world by being poor and cringe and unfashionable)
making the world beautiful in the sense of ensuring that it won't succumb to the negative aspects of human nature and will be preserved for people who are deemed "worthy" due to factors that are mostly "lysandre said so" tbh (there is some intricacy to that i think but for the sake of this argument this is enough) (i.e. lysandre talking about well. more or less exactly that honestly)
lysandre wanting to make a difference and be remembered as the person who's made the world better/more beautiful/less likely to be corrupted by others/war etc (in a "triumphant hero" sense mostly, tho i do think his enthusiasm @ the protag & friends hints at him also being willing to be inspiring as a villainous figure also)
now there is reason to believe (based on things lysandre says and his notes) that that third reason was inspired by AZ and AZ's legend/story, where AZ is remembered as the king who, yes, killed millions, but also ended the great war and made it so that kalos could prosper and thrive in the future
i always idly wondered why lysandre doesn't recognize AZ; it's kind of a silly, inconsequential thing that i guess serves to highlight the fact that he's so blinded by what he's undertaking that he doesn't even make the connection that the inhumanly gigantic man in possession of the key to the ultimate weapon must be AZ
but actually, now that i've thought about it (in a tangent about something completely unrelated, which is hilarious) the dramatic irony of it is that... lysandre, who wants more than anything to make an impact on history, who wants to be recognized as the man who changed the world for the better... couldn't even recognize his own ancestor, the nearly mythological figure he was likely inspired by
i do wish they had actually talked to each other tho. but i guess their one interaction is more thematic than anything else. lysandre barely even acknowledges him as like... a real person. i mean ffs in french he calls him a circus freak 😭 anyway not in the right headspace to elaborate on this more rn but... much to think about

bbc merlin liveblog: s1 ep6 - a remedy to cure all ills
gotta love the episodes that start with a dramatic compilation
"tall dark stranger", morgana says, looking at gwen like THAT. like bitch no u wanted them to be from her and u know it
sorry but a bug on my face would 100% wake me up
OH NO ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS IS DYING IM SO SCARED
"i could use my magic!" "no merlin" the entire show summarised
arthur sitting dramatically in his chair shouldn't be funny
god merlin is so incredibly neurodivergent he can't sit still for the life of him
i do love that despite all their bickering arthur does genuinely care abt morgana (i just wish their relationship could have been siblingly from the start 😭)
I WANT THE COOL MAGIC CHEMISTRY SET GIMME RN
"so you are in love?" *sighs* "no". arthur doesn't exist anymore huh
ah yes let a strange man alone in a room with an already dying morgana what an incredibly smart plan
at least gwen has an ounce of logic and suspicion (gotta look out for her gf <3)
barely anyone's questioning the fact this guy just miraculously healed her 😭
Magic Bug Box™
love that side characters who are only in one episode sometimes find out abt merlins magic but then it took the main characters another four seasons 😭
i think it'd be really funny if the whooshing sound whenever merlin does magic happened actually in-world. like merlin does magic and arthurs like "damn, wind's noisy today merlin"
characters coming into the show with intent to kill merlin or arthur or something are fine, but as SOON AS ANYONE HAS ANYTHING AGAINST GAIUS IM THROWING HANDS
MORGANA IN THE RED DRESS WITH THE PURPLE VELVET SLEEVE THING AND THE SNAKE NECKLACE OMG IM ACTUALLY SO IN LOVE WITH HER
the reluctant sigh before gaius went down to see the dragon lmao, mood
fucking hate edwin wtf
also I KNOW how this episode ends. I KNOW gaius comes back. SO WHY AM I TEARING UP 😭😭
"in life we always have choices. sometimes it's easier to think that we don't" gwen ily 😭
the only good thing the magic physician guy did was nearly kill uther
the dramatic shots of gaius next to the campfire-
AND NOW HES BACK ALREADY
arthur runs so funkily
merlin rly just pulled an uno reverse on an axe...slay (literally)

So i was thinking abt your post on light symbolism in Mgsv and i was wondering if you could talk more on the meaning of the blue lighting? In Peacewalker the red=bad and yellow=good is obvious but what are the examples of blue meaning uncertainty other than in the scene of Ocelot confessing? Is it exclusive to V? i can't find the post rn but i thought it was really interesting!!
Okay so there's a lot of ways i can go about this but I'm also going to be extremely upfront and say that mgs1-4+PW are slightly harder to get good quality screenshots of, and I see fewer recordings of them so I fully admit to having a less-than-perfect memory of them.
V is also easier to pick scenes from because it does the most "WTF, where is that weird-colored lens flare even coming from?" cinematic stuff. The other games have more direct integration into scenes and even the narrative.
The most explicit case of blue as dishonesty/unreliable narrator/dramatic irony/facade cracking/whatever you want to call it, is in the MGS4 novel. I don't really know that it's canon as much as a canon-enhancer, like an art book would be. I know that Kojima has said that Itoh got the spirit of what he was going for more than anyone else, so I'm willing to abide by his interpretation of the snake family (snamily?) geneticist surrounded by blue roses:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
youtube
tl;dr: the blue of the blue roses is what makes them unnatural. Beautiful, but manmade. Snake is also genetically engineered, manmade, "unnatural," and at times considers himself less than human because of it.
This is sort of the explicit culmination of something that's been going on since MGS1, where the whole map is basically this weird, unnatural, unsettling blue color.
Tumblr media
Which, for me, even playing the shadow moses smash level when I was younger felt ~weird~ due to the color and lighting. When I got around to playing MGS, the feeling was definitely still there.
I'll even offer grey fox as an example because he and Snake are basically the same color in their concept art, and Snake's definitely blue in-game. Making him this red-and-blue, murdery-but-something's-up figure...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Was it intentional? Honestly, I don't know. I lean towards assuming it was a palette limitation for hardware/performance that happened to play nice thematically. Add in the fact that straight-up black tends to look bad graphically for the same reason that it works well in actual stealth situations and...yeah, using a lot of blue makes sense. No reason that a medium's "limitations" shouldn't be considered just as meaningful and integral as its benefits though.
Maybe the weakest example I have is in 3, where Volgin's lightning turns the whole torture room blue (or at least, as blue as it can get with that piss filer)
youtube
Everyone in this room is fucking over everyone else in this room in impossible to comprehend ways. We've walked in on 5D chess that is only about to be made clear at the end of this cutscene, but the only person in this room loyal to Volgin is Volgin.
Consider:
Tumblr media
She feels bad for Snake. Kinda obvious I suppose, but she's also planning to triple cross him. I mean, technically at this point she's probably still planning to kill him. Either way, She's definitely planning to fuck over Volgin and either you or the Chinese Philosophers.
Tumblr media
The Boss is being The Boss and not telling ANYONE wtf is going on, (also planning to fuck over Volgin)
Tumblr media
And THIS WHORE is over here clutching his fucking LOCKET OF YOUR HAIR (read: the bullet he fucked up with while fighting you that he wears around his neck)
...plus he was actually supposed to be fucking over Volgin in the first place as your contact before Eva got in the way. ...which she also does at the end when she cock blocks him ANYWAYS.
Tumblr media
Then we get this lovely little quote that I've been thinking about since playing the game. Something about this feels like it's implying that the color of his eyes are unnatural or make him seem dishonest. Ironic, given the current company.
In Peace Walker specifically it's easy to tell when colors are being used for effect, since there's only really three used in the whole game, red, blue, and gold. Blue is used a lot for grief in this game, as it it's a game that deals heavily with the topic. Like, say, in Strangelove's first cutscene, where she's challenging BB to kill her.
Tumblr media
And a moment after that we get one of the brightest pops of blue in the game! There aren't very many of them, most of the blues are dull, like on Strangelove's glasses here. But in this scene, not only are Snake's eyes blue, he also has blue highlights on his face. It really brings the two of them together in their grief over the same woman.
Tumblr media
Strangelove also refers to the Boss AI as "[her] morpho," the kind of butterfly that BB references in PW.
Not so coincidentally, this is *also* the kind of butterfly that appears at the end of the Paz questline, which disappears in a flash of blue light, in this sort of combined grieving-and-unreality scene that I think makes blue throughout the series so beautiful.
youtube
It's not just one thing, it's many things that are intimately woven together. I guess you could more accurately say that it's mental/emotional hurt and old wounds where red is more physical/immediate hurt?
That's not to say that every single time someone is grieving or lying or is dishonest or is something they don't appear to be that they'll be ringed in blue or anything, but rather that it's something to watch for because there's often a sort of color confirmation. Same as how the snakes don't tend to wear red even when they do a lot of killing
I'm also very much still working out the symbolism of blue in the games honestly. These are mostly my working theories but if anyone has anything else to add I'm all ears!
Sorry that this is kind of short, I had covid this week and am still kind of playing catch-up a bit but I at least wanted to get some really obvious (to me) cases out there.

WAKE UP EVERYONE NEW BYLER (half-)MER AU JUST DROPPED (so I'm specifically a slut for mers pretending to be human, sue me)
anyway do I know that this isn't how electric animals work? yes. do I care?? literally not the slightest fucking bit. this fish bitch can make a cool looking glowy arc between his hands for dramatic lighting without shocking all his surroundings and himself, that's just how it works
Tumblr media
he's a pacific electric ray and was originally from just off the coast of california, but Things Happened and now he resides in an underwater cave system that connects several bodies of water in/around hawkins (he's a mer he can survive in both salt and freshwater because I said so), and the first second time he met Mike Wheeler, he was 29363% ready to electrocute him on the spot because humans are Threats and only good for eating and stealing from🙂
oof the irony of mer Mike being afraid that "hunter" Will would eat him vs mer Will genuinely having no qualms whatsoever with roasting and eating human Mike on sight
also because Mike's stupid and too distracted by the hot feral man being all up in his personal space, touching his neck, breathing his air, he had no idea how close he was to death until the equally feral child who led him to Will in the first place just straight up says "wait don't kill him! he's not a bad man, okay?" and grabs Will's free arm to prevent him from completing the circuit and Will's like ".......oh. okay" and tosses that lanky string bean to the ground like a rock that isn't shiny enough to be worth hoarding "so what's it here for?"
if Mike had a single thought in his head rn it'd probably be like "hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" too fuckin late buddy. you may not know it yet but you're a monsterfucker now, congratulations
wanna cut this post off before it becomes a novel but here have a little more. since his life was apparently spared, Mike's decided "......okay this must be a mugging. I'm being mugged right now. the kid is the bait and this guy steals shit and kills people who aren't nice to the kid and it doesn't matter if he's hot he's still a criminal and.......wait what the fuck is he doing—"
Tumblr media
(Mike should've been thinking "why are there fucking holes in his chest???" but instead he was just "...oh, freckles........deep breath?....fUCK")

fandom end of the year asks ♡
4, 8, 15, 25 and even though i'm not sure what it means 29?
favourite fanvid of the year
ah omg this is such a tough one. I mean it's definitely a fear street vid. I mean I think my favourite Zick one on YouTube is the one of them to favourite crime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9zrM8a9p1g
but there are so many! there's also a lot of good ones on TikTok of them but I'm on my laptop rn so I can't access those links. but yeah, that's probably my number one right now. the angst!
in terms of fandoms as a whole, this is an edit to the ten minute version of all too well that sends me every time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8WSFGLuY4I&t=218s
that's one of my favourite editors too.
oh and there's a user called Caroline edits on YouTube that does such good edits! I think they've done some to nick and ziggy in their multi fandom edits as well. this one in particular of theirs is my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWXbefbkBRU
I think Nick and ziggy are in their edit to traitor and another one, though I may be mistaken.
favourite author of the year
I'm gonna list both real life authors and fanfic authors.
I really got into Taylor Jenkins Reid and N.K. Jemisin last year, so they're great!
for fan fiction authors in the fear street fandom: this is such a tough one! I mean probably misshavisham, garmonbozias and annieoakley1. they have fandom classics. such good writing and characterization.
in other fandoms: there's this one author called persephoneselene in the Shadow and Bone fandom. They have this WIP called Games that is so good. I love it.
favourite headcanon of the year
omg I mean probably the fear street cat universe head canon, nick being a Mariah Carey/ABBA/Madonna Stan, or him leaving her half his fortune in his will only for her to help kill him. I love dramatic irony like that.
best movie you watched this year
that's tough! It's probably a three way tie between Palm Springs (2020), Saving Face (2004) and The Way He Looks (2014). I also really loved No Way Home, though I saw that last December.
fandom “first” you accomplished this year
I mean I made my first gif set this year! does that count? I've gotten into that a lot. I'm still getting the hang of making gif sets and I'm still pretty impatient about it, but I'd like to think I'm slowly getting better.
thanks for the ask :) 💕

Thoughts on rewatching FMA CoS for the first time in around a year:
Love the beginning. Prime 03 comedy
The CoS artstyle is undoubtedly my favorite art style in any version of fma (I know it's really close to the regular 03 art style but They Are Not The Same. The reason all my art has those lines on characters' cheeks is from seeing CoS)
The gender envy I get from waistcoats in general combined with the gender envy I get from Ed... Yeah......
Like the continuity of Ed being absolute shit at driving a tractor in 03 and being no better at driving a car here <3
Why is Ed taller than Mustang when they stand next to each other in the opening???
"Just an old habit of mine" I hope Edward knows I care for him
The audio's timing is slightly off in the YouTube version of this and it's really starting to bug me. I really CoS was on Netflix
It makes absolutely no sense that Noah can see ppls pasts by touching them when no form of "magic" (alchemy, Envy's shapeshifting, etc) works here
I've talked before about how much I love quietly sad protags (Jon, David 7, etc) so CoS Ed is really getting to me
This movie has so many side characters who I want to punch in the face (Hughes especially)
I am once again Caring Too Much about/for Envy but this time I think I have more justification than other times
This movie has a lot of new plot stuff that simply can't bring myself to be interested in
Idk why the wiki theorizes that Eckhart is alternate universe Dante. Logically alternate universe Dante would've died like 400 years before this
Wrath!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Hm my feelings on Alfons are mixed. Like. I do know that the fact that he let Noah live with him and was kind to her indicates that he definitely doesn't hold nazi beliefs or anything. And I do realize that since his goal in life was so niche/expensive working with the Thule society was probably the only chance he would get to fufill his dream (especially given the economic recession, and his lung cancer). But still his choice to ignore Ed's warnings about them along w/his "showing them Germany isn't beaten yet" line is Not Great
I feel like Lang's "maybe I'm trying to avoid being forced out of my dream" line could have some sort of wider plot symbolism relating to either Ed feeling like this world is a dream or Alfons' dream of building rockets but if so I'm not good enough at analysis to understand it. Maybe I'm overthinking and it only means what it seems to tho
Wrath doesn't seem to use alchemy at all during his fight with Gluttony??? Did he lose that ability when he lost Ed's limbs or something???
Speaking of Wrath's fight with Gluttony. I'm so sad it's unreal.
On a different note though. I don't think it would make sense that Wrath would get to see Izumi again given the precedent for how the gate works it's not like she had just died a few minutes before like when Al brought Ed back or anything
Also. Did the ppl animating the bit in the gate just. Forget how CoS Wrath looks. Bc in the rest of CoS Wrath has automail and looks noticably older bc of the timeskip, but in the gate he looks 13 again and has his limbs back?????
Ok I'm going to stop trying to find things to nitpick about Wrath's death simply bc I'm upset that he died. Back to your regularly scheduled reactions
...So time to be upset about Envy's death instead! Literally wtf was CoS thinking by reducing him to a plot point and then killing him off like that?!?! I know Envy's a terrible person but like. He got treated like a lab rat and experimented on by literal nazis for an extended period of time. I think some sort of vengeance for him is called for
It's sort of like my thoughts on the Slicer brothers ig. Like yeah you suck but the punishment really doesn't fit the crime and they had no right to do that to you.
Wrath's death makes me so sad and Envy's makes me so mad I'm generally just suffering rn
I really wish Noah could've gotten through the portal. Obviously Amestris is no Shamballa like she thought but still
"Welcome home" The dramatic irony of this when I know full well how CoS ends 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
CoS really said, "Oh, so Al lost all his memories of the traumatic things that happened to him in armor? Guess we'll give him new traumatic experiences to make up for it!" (Seriously though Alphonse doesn't deserve this he's 13)
Why can the gate be opened from just one side but has to be closed from both
CoS's and TMA's endings reminds me of each other and theyre both bittersweet in a way that rips my heart out
The way CoS ends is so plothole-y but still makes me so emotional

I no longer care.
But that’s a lie. 24 hours unable to end a nightmare that kept getting worse and then 3 hours of restless sleep before my body finally let me rest. For a split second it was a foggy weird dream. That pit in my stomach wasn’t there not til the next second. When everything came rushing back.
Hitting me w so much force that my body started involuntarily shaking bc suddenly my skin was cold to the touch of a fur blanket. Suddenly my mouth was dryer and my thoughts start moving faster remembering everything I was at the bliss of almost pretending didn’t happen.
Trying to remember what I felt like before the one person in this world betrayed me and himself by acting on something he knew was wrong. You knew it was wrong and did it anyway.
Being so suffocated by your own thoughts and so cold bc suddenly all warmth is gone. And hell I have a cat fast asleep in peace on my lap. But I can’t even feel his warmth. I can’t even move much more than my two thumbs.
I have to go to work today. I have to pretend I’m okay today. And the next day. And the next day. And then I have to be stuck with you for nearly 9 days of vacation that a small part of me is SCREAMing at me to just tell my boss I’ve changed my mind. I want the work. I want to get away from you. I want to force myself past the part of my mind that is suddenly so hellbent on destroying another piece of my soul.
Depression is bad but that lasts a few days and then I feel like I was being dramatic and move on. This is. This is something I don’t know what to do with. Idk if there is a moving on. I hit walls of anger. Betrayal. Self loathing. Disappointment. And then just numb like maybe if I just wallow in my self pity of the irony of my life it’ll all stop. Or maybe I like this darkness bc I am grasping to hold onto it. Something. Anything. Any kind of comfort to close a wound of betrayal I didn’t know was ever going to open again.
And now it’s flowing and it won’t stop. Like a busted pipe. It won’t stop. I can’t turn it off. I wish I could turn it off. But rn I’m just stuck in reruns of everything inside my own head. No desire to eat. No desire to want to do anything aside from crawl back in the dark hole that for a few hours of rest I was able to escape to and pretend I’m over it and moving on bc I don’t remember what I need to be over or moving on from.
I asked to know. But what’s worse is you still tried to hide it after trying to be honest. I should’ve listened to my gut. I had that feeling. That feeling that something was wrong but you couldn’t put your finger on it. I told myself I was being dramatic and crazy two weeks ago for having that feeling. Turns out a part of me knew before you were willing to tell me. Maybe you never would have if I hadn’t pressed the issue. There’s a beauty in bliss. But I prefer to chaos of knowing. It’s a reminder that this. This is why I don’t let people in.
2.5 years of a relationship suppose to lead to forever. Leaving me feeling like it didn’t exist. All of the good times gone. You can blame me for drinking. But you can’t blame me for trying to enjoy my life and then the destruction coming towards you. You set things in motion that neither of us could begin to comprehend with choices I wasn’t aware you were making. I actually thought it was solely me that was the problem. You have a way of convincing others that your chaos if worse than theirs so if you feel it you’re a martyr. How pathetic. It doesn’t erase how I handled things. You were so bothered I was acting like your ex you chose to become worse than mine. Unfaithful. A cheater. Worse bc maybe not even physically but mentally. You stroked yourself to a woman I asked you not to speak to two years ago. I still have her and her exes harassment messages.
I don’t know what I’m suppose to do with this. My thoughts all seem chaotic and clustered that I’m not even sure if anything makes sense that I’m writing. It’s funny that I’m writing this knowing your at the edge of your seat waiting for me to write it. Like you deserve some kind of explanation of what’s going through my head. You don’t. The second you let other women into your thoughts is the second you didn’t deserve mine. But I’ll give it to you freely. Bc maybe you’ll feel something from reading this. I don’t know if you can fix this and I want to hate you for doing this knowing what it would break in me. I can’t just heal over and since I’m not drunk anymore and capable of yelling my betrayal at you pretend that now I’m sober and I was being too dramatic.
Hilarious that you’re such a whore that other woman and men have always been there. The whole time in your head. It was never just about me. You always wanted more and deep down maybe I knew that. But do you feel it? That sense of if I lose her I’ll never fix this hole? That it cuts so deep to the bone that you don’t know how to breathe? Or is that just me? Maybe you don’t feel anything at all bc you have been so hellbent on thinking w your dick and betraying me maybe you’re just in love w the idea of me. A part of me wonders. If only he’d actually touched someone. Maybe I’d have the strength then and things wouldn’t be so grey bc it’s not just black and white for me to stay or leave. 60$ and rumple you use to say to demean my choice in something. Funny that now it’s 60$ and then some to destroy nearly three years of a relationship. Even tho you’ve called me wife since day one. If this is your marriage choices? I don’t want it. You think I’m in love w the idea of you so much and that I only wanted a kid. And instead of loving me, you destroyed that love and all that’s left is my kid. That looks just like you, poor girl. She is the only good thing. Would you want this for her? If a man she loved did this to her and she felt like this.. would that be okay with you?
Lucky her. That this isn’t about her. I hope to shield her from hurt like this. I hope to give her and grow the strength so if this happens to her she leaves. She respects herself enough to leave a man like you doing this to her. Next time you jerk off to another woman remember that. Remember that you wouldn’t want this for her. You wouldn’t want the love of her life doing this to her knowing how betrayed and disgusting it’ll make her feel. I hope it kills your boner every time.
On that note I don’t have much left to say. You disappointed me. And I don’t know what to do with that. I can no longer decide between what’s best for her or best for me. I can no longer think much more than today and just dragging my feet to the next few. I don’t have it in me to make a choice to leave you or make the choice to stay. Idk how long I need to heal. Or if I can. Idk if I’ll ever trust you again bc your loyalty is no longer loyal. At this point I was going to say you might want to change your bio on Twitter. “Loyal as a dog”. You keep trying to say “it’s not like that”. It is like that. You look at your dick. You look at a photo and you pretend you aren’t disgustingly beating off like a creep you pretend that girl is on your dick. I know how it works. I was 15 once too. Before I decided the real thing was better than a paid for photo or even a free one. You keep making excuses for you. Poor joe. Poor poor joe and his horny thoughts he can’t control. Fuck. You. You are not the victim here.
Dogs are better than you. Dogs take time to heal before moving on from a dead owner. Some will even let themselves die.
Good people don’t stick around to play house while rubbing their dick to whores you pay for or even free ones when their girlfriends in bed waiting for them. Good people don’t destroy their families for a nut.
I am tired. So please just let me be. I don’t feel sorry for you. You did this to yourself. You did this to us.
