kinda obsessed with the metacommentary in the golden raven

the fandom wanting to see the first red card for the trojans reflected in the public getting bored of the trojan’s pristine image and wanting to see their fall from grace. and in response to that jean starting to appreciate the trojans’ style during the game against bobcats and telling jeremy “we will do it your way”.

the fandom wanting jeremy to be imperfect and to snap for him to be interesting and in response jean telling jeremy “it makes you more interesting. not your capacity for unkindness, but how fiercely you fight against it”

I will not elaborate

[decaffeinatedplaid]

Jeremy: it really was such a stroke of good luck that Neil was visiting when he was because it gave Jean a great alibi for Grayson’s death!! :)

Kevin:

saw this on twitter and thank god i’m not the only one who is able to tell the difference, i’ve seen so many people saying that the new books aren’t good in comparison to the original trilogy or that the characters are “boring”. the new books aren’t bad, they’re just focused on different things!

neil really said “get your twin (my enemy) to drive our injured asses to the court so i can start some shit with the press against everyone’s will”

and andrew said “ok my princess"

[decaffeinatedplaid]

andrew in tgr is like: gaydar x1000, silently clocking jeremy and telling renee about it. witness in a murder trial. realizing his bf put a hit out on someone (again) ("typical"). cracking jokes with renee. nearly killing someone for hurting neil. having surgery to fix his broken clavicle. letting aaron drive the mas. quitting smoking so he can be fast enough to save neil next time someone comes for him. like you don't understand this man is barely in the book and he is slaying tremendously the whole entire time

listen, the first verse is sirius talking and the second verse is regulus

the whole running away from home, even the grimmauld roaches "shudder at your name," dark magic, etc. "All you ever want is to be right / Even if that means you gotta lie to do it" very anti-slytherin

and then how am I supposed to hear "Bask inside your victory / My heart that once was beating / Bleeding in the palm of your hand" without thinking about only the brave:

"Regulus’s heart is frozen. A cage of bones around it. Hard, and dead, and rough." "Crimson rivers flooding and washing over the empty tundra of his heart, dragging away all that made Regulus ever want to smile."

"You don't really wanna hear the truth, do you?"

"Regulus tells himself that it’s okay to keep the truths that hurt inside. He can deal with the pain, absorb it so it doesn’t touch Sirius. It’s better that he hates him. Easier. The truth would break Sirius and what was the point of it then?"

"Yet you have the nerve to miss me ... / When you're the one who let it get this bad"

"I’m not my brother, James. I’m not the rebel who runs away, leaves everything behind, and then wants to play hero."

"That all you ever wanted was to fight / I was only trying to survive your chaos"

"Sirius always got it wrong... He was loud in his rebellion. Making a big show of it... I’m not an idiot like him. I play by her rules, and then move my pieces when nobody’s watching."

and don't even get me started on the "all you ever wanted was to fight" also applying to joining the order 😭

"We’re going to end this war, Prongs. You, and me, and Moony, and Wormy... It’ll be us. The saviours of the wizarding world."

just the black brothers both blaming each other. "There's nothing / That ever did quite kill me / More than what you did ... / Take a bow 'cause you're the winner" UGH tragic

does cherri bomb remind anyone else of avril lavigne?

chappell roan lyrics unintentionally describing stolitz pt. 2

[decaffeinatedplaid]

"casual" is a top-tier stolitz song and no one can change my mind

My recent foray into CSS for the sake of Ao3 site skins wound up not being as complex as expected—largely because it turns out the complicated thing I wanted to do can't be done on Ao3 at all.

(If I'm wrong about that, and you happen to know how to make text animation work with Ao3's limited CSS guidelines, please let me know.)

But! I did make this!

A work skin allowing for typewriter-style font with or without ominous red and gold shadow and glow. Perfect for dialogue spoken by Alastor from Hazbin Hotel, or any other creepy bitch with a transatlantic accent!

Work skin CSS below the cut:

#workskin .radio { font-family: 'American Typewriter', 'Courier', 'Andale Mono', 'Courier New', monospace; } #workskin .glitch { font-family: 'American Typewriter', 'Courier', 'Andale Mono', 'Courier New', monospace; text-shadow: 2px 2px #FF0000, 0 0 3px #DAA520, 0 0 5px #8B0000; }

I'm so serious when I say james potter has changed my mental health for the better. just started a new remote job and every time I interact with a colleague online, not able to see their face or gauge their response, I picture james potter and I'm like, yk what? it's ok to be a little dumb and friendly and just take what they say at face value. you don't have to read into it and rewrite your reply fifteen times. as a regulus kinnie, this weird little roleplay thing I'm doing is crazy and yet somehow the healthiest I've ever felt??

I’m sorry but the queer joy and representation in tsc has me going FERAL. Cat and Laila????? Cody just existing as a nonbinary character???? That little pining polycule??? Everyone supporting Xavier after his top surgery????

Honestly made me cry. Nora didn’t need to do that but she DID THAT.

[decaffeinatedplaid]

crazy that that all happened in the span of one day.

Sorry I had to
