I’ve been replaying BOTW and I gotta say after playing sooo much totk, I just can’t get into BOTW like I used to 😬.

Like I still love BOTW with all my heart and I always will, nothing will ever change that but I guess since TOTK just has so much more to do and I just enjoy playing it more, I would just rather play totk.

There is something so special to me about the unlikely friendship between Borderline + Bipolar James and Bipolar Barty.

*light TW for BPD and Bipolar episode descriptions and injuries, illusion to suicidal ideation during a depressive episode*

They start out basically hating each other, but they both make a point to be passably civil to each other because both of them are important people to Regulus, and neither of them are willing to hurt Reg by being awful to each other. It’s an incredibly slow process, but eventually they get sort of close to each other via forced proximity. Little things start slipping out as they talk, sometimes they hang out at parties if they’ve had enough to drink to tolerate the other’s presence, and eventually they come to something of a peaceful truce.

Then Barty has a euphoric-manic episode and gets really hurt. Like, really, really hurt. Evan and Regulus are at a complete loss, and it takes James longer than he’d like to admit to put the pieces together.

When Barty is finally released, he’s spiralling really badly, but he was raised in a way that makes telling someone he needs help impossible. So James steps up. He tells him what’s happening to him, what the episodes are, how to navigate them as best as possible, offers Barty support he’s never had before and lets him know that he’s there for him, that James understands what’s happening to him. That he cares.

It’s not Barty who reaches out first, though. It’s James. It’s been months since Barty’s manic episode when James has a depressive one. Through the fog and the weight across his entire body, he somehow musters the strength to call the one person in his life that he may not like, but who knows.

It’s awkward at first. Barty and James don’t like each other, but they know each other on a level their other friends can’t. So despite Barty wanting to do literally anything else, he stays. He tries. He learns.

Barty stays glued to James for three days until a bit of the fog recedes and he can lift his head on his own again. It takes another week or so for James to really start functioning again, and another two afterwards until he’s back to baseline. Barty doesn’t tell anyone, but he pays a student in James’ year on the low to get his class notes and homework assignments, and he does every single one of them so James doesn’t need to worry about trying to catch up on almost a month of missed work. He’s not really sure what exactly compelled him to do it, but he feels like it was the right thing to do.

James does the same thing for Barty during his first major depressive episode.

They make a pact of sorts, every morning when the potions vials show up by their breakfast plates, they make eye contact across the Great Hall, lift their potions up, tap the bottoms on the table, and shoot it back like a party shot. It’s a routine that helps them ground each other. It’s something that makes them feel anchored and in the moment. If they can laugh at each other’s faces from the vile tasting potions, they can face whatever the day might bring.

When they’ve all graduated, Evan and Barty find a place not far from Regulus and James’. It’s not an uncommon occurrence for Evan or Regulus to find James and Barty curled up together on Bad Days, or to find them laughing somewhat maniacally as they beat the piss out of each other wrestling and sparring on days that are Too Much.

It takes a long time before Barty really understands that James is there for him. Two years after his diagnosis is when he has his worst episode yet. It comes on with very little warning and Barty knows it’s bad and knows he needs help but he can’t physically get himself to call for it. All he knows is one minute he was in bed with Evan sleeping next to him and the next he’s on a seaside cliff face and he’s terrified of what his brain is doing to him. He doesn’t remember actually calling for James, but he does remember being wrapped in familiar arms and having a jumper shoved on him. He remembers being on the Potter-Black sofa and remembers James holding a tea cup to his lips because his hands were shaking so violently he couldn’t hold it on his own. He remembers James talking, but he couldn’t understand the words.

He remembers the moment that he finally understood that someone had come for him when he needed them, and they hadn’t left him alone.

He remembers the way that when it finally clicked into place, when he realised that he truly had a Person, that it got just a little bit easier to keep breathing.

If you had told James Potter and Barty Crouch Jr that they would become not only friends, but something deeper than that, back in school, they both would have laughed themselves silly. But now? They are each others Person and that’s a bond that the world ending couldn’t even break.

i wrote 16k words for a fic last year in november/december…… i worked on it nonstop for like three weeks then the motivation just left me and any time i reread any of it i’m left sat there like “more please” but the inspiration is just out of my reach and it’s so irritating

sometimes I want to give a standing ovation to the qsmp team for their huge brains in creating a character like cucurucho. equal parts terrifying and silly, you love him and love to hate him, either way you know its name. he is a villain but also literally their mascot character!!!

like this smiley bear is THE most recognizable thing of qsmp, thank goodness they know what they’re doing bc he is put to great use too. it narrates all the official channels, and they’re strong enough as a character to host very successful solo livestreams using only TTS phrases which is so impressive???? such a well done original character man. goals fr. they’ve already turned him into a small sidekick form so now the only thing missing is official merch

hello please qsmp I want marketable cucurucho merchandise NOW

The Night’s Watch is just a workplace comedy and I think that’s beautiful. Jon is a teenage manager who’s only working here because Ned wanted him to learn responsibility. Also the company is going under and he has to deal with it also he’s 16 years old. Edd is the suicidal middle aged best friend you make when you’re 16 and working your first job. Grenn is your high school dropout coworker who probably sells drugs on the side but it’s cool cause he’s chill. Pyp is the fucking clown you work with who’s always getting in trouble for goofing off, also he buys drugs from Grenn. Alliser is the guy who’s like 45 and has beef with the teenagers. Jeor was ur boss for a while and the second he left everything started going under. Castle Black is just a rental place in a strip mall. The Night’s Watch is a shitty security company. They have a 32% success rate.

I actually really loved how they managed to make Kit and Jade a slow burn after having them kiss in episode one. Like, yeah, on one level it’s funny watching them insist they’re just friends when they are clearly, obviously not just, but it’s a real stroke of storytelling genius on another level. Just because these girls have clearly been smitten with each other for ages by the start of the show doesn’t mean they were ready to talk about it openly. Kit dreamed of adventuring, saying to Jade “don’t you dream of getting out there?” But Jade looks only at Kit. She doesn’t dream of going beyond the barrier, only of the girl standing beside her. But Jade can’t see a future where their paths lead anywhere together; Kit is engaged to Graydon, she’ll be Queen, and Jade’s going to be a knight. Any possible relationship is naught but dreams for Kit and Jade in episode one. But dreams sustain us so they hang onto it for as long as possible, never speaking it. Until it’s broken the night of the engagement. The precious bubble of the dream pops. Kit can’t imagine staying, can’t imagine marrying someone she doesn’t know, someone who isn’t Jade. So she goes to say goodbye, and she kisses her, a reckless goodbye kiss with no consequences because she’s leaving and she’s never going to see Jade again. Except that doesn’t happen. The attack happens, and suddenly they’re on a quest together, beyond their rules and roles. They weren’t ready to discuss it before and still aren’t, but the kiss is there, lingering between them, a dancing edge of tension to their friendship. They can try and go back to the way it was when they were just friends and pining after each other, ever longing, but they can’t. They don’t really want to. They want this, they want each other, a life with each other, but they don’t know how to say it, how to start. But watching them grapple with it, with their feelings, and eventually come to speak them to each other in such beautiful scenes, is a joy and a delight

I can’t stop thinking about how cosmically intertwined Roy and Jamie are. Like, the end of Roy’s career was pretty much the start of Jamie’s as we now know it. Roy finds ways to allow people space for what they need through him. They’re clearly two people who were destined to meet. Jamie is Roy’s continued legacy. Jamie’s successes bring Roy clarity. They only make each other better with every passing day & that just makes me feel like I’m being punted into the fucking air !!
