to:child sun (from parenthood test au) you are sooo adorable and just so tiny i just want to squish your cheeks!!!🥹

sorry about that, anyway, question tho, who is your favorite family member, you have to choose only one, no two or three, just one.

also do u enjoy playing with the kids like Charlie, fc, Andrew, Andy, Jake and jack? Or even dazzle? What do you all play?

(Psshh, arty, is it okay if I am able to hug this sunflower please🥺)

(Response under cut)

Sun: "My favorite is obviously Moonie!!! Ruru even gave me a plushie of him—oo!! And Clipsey even made some clothes for him ( :D )!! Theyre very nice, but I like my Moonie more! Thats why I miss him lots ( :< )..."

"I really like playing with the other kids, especially Charlie since shes really fun! I am confused why its colder around her and also Clipsey... but I don' mind it. Anyway!! We play tag, hide and seek, and lots more—Clipsey's kids are by the computer sometimes though and I dunno what that's about.

I dunno who Jack and Dazzle are though? ( :O )"

OOC: I would love to allow you [to hug Sun]! But Sun unfortunately doesnt like touches (unless its someone he knows, especially Moon), so unfortunately not :')!!

ok this is my wannabe analysis and desperate attempt to connect two pieces of media case in question: girl, so confusing - by charli xcx & matt and andrew - chronicle 2012

“Yeah, I don't know if you like me, sometimes I think you might hate me. Sometimes I think I might hate you, maybe you just wanna be me.”

in matts pov, andrew is not an easy guy to talk to. probably hard to read as well. when he says as much andrew cuts him off as he begins to explain his perspective, calls him an asshole, which matt just goes “see? ur hostile, dude”. sometimes, before the movie, matt thinks andrew hates him. maybe he does, in these fleeting moments where matt does nothing to help him. but its not matts job to help his cousin, whether its from his dad or from his bullies at school. matt hates andrew too, in similar fleeting moments where he wishes andrew wasnt such a burden.

“We talk about making music but I don't know if it's honest. Can't tell if you wanna see me falling over and failing and you can't tell what you're feeling. I think I know how you feel.”

maybe they would talk about doing stuff together, normal cousin stuff. but neither of them think its going to happen. not since high school started anyways. maybe andrew just wants to be matt, maybe hes just jealous of everything matt is that he himself isnt. maybe this is jealousy thing is something matt cooked up in his head to justify andrews behavior, squished between philosophy quotes and memories of how casey looked in the hallway that day.

“You're all about writing poems but I'm about throwing parties. Think you should come to my party and put your hands up.”

matts all about being cool, being that smart cool guy who quotes jung at raves. he invites andrew to the party, probably out of some quilty obligation rather than an actual interest, like seeing a kicked puppy and just *having* to bring it home with you. he ditches andrew as soon as they get there, despite being the one to bring him there, embarrassed to be seen around andrew and the camera. andrew comes to the party, he “puts his hands up”, err, he would if his hands werent holding his camera, i suppose.

“I think we're totally different but opposites do attract. Maybe we're so meant to be. Just you and me. 'Cause people say we're alike, they say we've got the same hair.”

but, theyre friends. maybe they always were, as strained as their relationship seemed at the beginning, or maybe the shared powers brought them closer. theyre literally meant to be, cousins who share the same newfound powers. they are alike, they got the same hair and same lack of social skills, they got the same dna after all! after … the storm incident … it really is just andrew and matt.

“One day we might make some music, the internet would go crazy. But you might still wanna see me falling over and failing. At least we're closer to being on the same page.”

one day they might have come together to help people, like matt did in the script, the world would go crazy over two superheroes. but andrew doesnt want that, hes fallen too far into the ‘apex predator’ mindset. he wants to see the weak, matt, falling and failing. at least theyre both closer now, powers bringing them closer than they were in the beginning of the movie. or, alternatively, andrew literally cannot disagree with matt anymore. not after the spear. theyre on the same page because andrew doesnt have a choice loll

i adore this movie and i try to make every song fit it, i have a whole playlist of lyric edits that i think i can reasonably squish into chronicle media..
