#peter nureyev is a literature nerd

[findroleplay]

hi!! i’m 16m looking for a rp partner in the 15-18 range, literate (but not crazy strict, yknow?) and ccxcc. mxm or fxf is preferred for sure, mostly just because i’m a gay man and honestly? not totally sure how straight people work. i tend to really analyze things and i get very excited about set dressing/prose and symbolism, all the bells and whistles, so if you’re not super into that stuff, no problem, it just might not be the best fit! i’m a huge literature nerd, so that’s just mostly a warning of how i am as a person and where my expectations are at :]

non exhaustive list of fandoms/ships i’d be into writing:

Newsies - Davey/Jack, Katherine/Sarah

Jesus Christ Superstar - Judas/Jesus

Bright Young Things/Vile Bodies - Miles Maitland/Ginger Littlejohn

BBC Merlin - Merlin/Arthur

Penumbra Podcast - Juno Steel/Peter Nureyev

Six of Crows - Wylan Hendriks/Jesper Fahey

Nimona (book preferably!) - Ballister/Ambrosius

Dimension 20 Fantasy High - Fig Faeth/Ayda Aguefort

Bare: a Pop Opera - Peter/Jason

Riordanverse - Nico di Angelo/Will Solace

The Dragon Prince - Ethari/Runaan

and totally feel free to propose something else! no promises i’ll know what it is, but there’s a good chance i’ve forgotten things, so this list is not exhaustive.

i prefer discord but reach out at arthurcenturi on here for first contact and then we can figure stuff out! (schedules, ideas, etc. OH and i’m also in the EST zone in America, if that changes anything)

why 'call me maybe' is a jupeter song: an essay (part 2) (sadder than the first one) (not clickbait) (but yes spoilers)

1. "You took your time with the call

I took no time with the fall"

the first part of this song was about murderous mask, but i believe these lines refer to juno calling peter at the end of midnight fox (which is the best juniverse episode yall). he really took his time, i mean really, six episodes without nureyev? why juno, w h y (and yes i know it's technically three but they're still separate episodes so...)

also, it really took nureyev no time to break into juno's apartment just so he can say that it's been a while. this man is extra.

also, this song doesn't have anything specifically relevant to train from nowhere, so it's miasma time :)))))))))

2. "I beg and borrow and steal

At first sight and it's real"

juno sees peter's memories (big oof time #1) and sees him learning to be a thief. he also sees peter killing mag (big oof time #2), but peter doesn't know that, therefore only mentioning the borrowing and stealing in this song (and yes, i'm implying that peter nureyev wrote this song).

3. "I didn't know I would feel it

But it's in my way"

the thing that's in peter's way could either be the door to the Egg Room™ in final resting place (big oof time #3), or, if we're still talking about teen peter, the memory of his past (which fits the beginning of the song, when peter talks about his wish to become nameless). either way it's a sad time.

4. "Your stare was holding,

Ripped jeans, skin was showin'"

although it first seems like the stare is just juno staring at the love of his life, this line takes a darker turn - this time, the 'stare' is juno reading peter's mind. also, there probably wasn't a washing machine in the martian tomb, so it makes sense that their clothes would be dirty and/or ripped.

5. "Hot night, wind was blowin'

Where you think you're going baby?"

y'all know what this part is about :')

i still stand by my explanation of these lines in the first part, but like the previous lines they change a bit with the context of the ending of final resting place. as @thejade7 said on discord, 'where you think you're going baby?' is peter waking up alone in the hotel room (or even worse, him being half asleep when juno leaves and thinking he just went to the bathroom or something. big oof time #4).

6. "Hey, I just met you and this is crazy

But here's my number, so call me maybe"

i believe that this time, the chorus is not peter's thoughts at the moment - it's him not being able to move on from juno. he keeps thinking about the first time they met and how he felt when he saw juno crawling out that window, and wondering what could happen if juno hadn't left.

"And all the other boys try to chase me"

this is peter trying to calm himself down, remind himself that he's still the best at Be Gay Do Crimes and other people still exist. all the other boys are still chasing him, so he needs to move the frick on and disappear again. for a whole fricking season. w h y.

7. "Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad

And you should know that"

guess what? we just skipped to season 3!! this is jupeter finally talking about their feelings!! peter wrote this whole mcfreakin song for one of their poetry nights. i love one (1) poetry nerd. in fact, i am one myself. why did i write this thing? no one knows.

hope y'all enjoyed this, i'm gonna go do some homework now. or maybe write another song analysis. yeah, probably that.
