you are probably my favorite simblr blog, like, ever. or maybe favorite blog in general. your story posts are always incredibly written and beautiful, and i admire that so much. your replies to asks and your nonsims posts are golden too, you feel very real (??) like, most simblrs i follow are very impersonal and i cant really get a feel for what their personality is like, but thats not the case for your blog if that makes any sense T-T also i love your supernatural references youre a blessing upon this site 🩵
omg thank you 😳 i feel like i chronically overshare on tumblr because believe it or not i'm super private in real life. but sharing this story is already so personal and special to me, i would never be able to do this without sharing pieces of myself too. and i like being able to connect with you guys on a deeper level too!! thank you so much for the sweet message 💖💖

can you explain what happened like i'm 5? i may be stupid
noooo you're not, i feel like you're just the only person brave enough to ask fjksjds there's a LOT going on here so i don't mind explaining at all!!
first i'll explain what happened from griffin's point of view on february 3rd, 1982…. he's been saving money up without his parents knowing, because he plans to run away in the next few months. on this day, his mom finds the money and realizes that griffin wants to leave. she becomes inconsolable and tells richard about the money. he thinks griffin stole the money from him (which is ridiculous because we know griffin JUST bailed him out of jail with money richard didn't have; he could've just left him there), and a large argument ensues. his dad hits him, his mom is throwing things around and falling to the floor crying, it's just a huge mess. lucy throws a plate and it shatters on griffin's face. this is the last straw for him. he just can't take it anymore. he grabs the gun they keep in the pantry, knowing his parents always keep it loaded for home security (more on that later). he points it at his dad and warns him to step back, but richard outright laughs at him and keeps approaching him. griffin THINKS he racks the gun, but, being a kid in an insanely stressful situation, he didn't apply enough force to pull it all the way back, meaning there's no round in the chamber, so when he pulls the trigger (and he does actually pull the trigger) the gun does not go off. at that point, richard yanks it out of his hands and threatens to kill him if he ever tries something like that again, but griffin wouldn't have tried again – he was horrified at his own behavior. this is the major turning point in griffin's life and it's one of the biggest factors in causing his death.
(side note, in the universe where we saw griffin as an inmate, that was the incident that first landed him in jail -- in that universe, he pulled the slide just a little more forcefully, and he killed his dad. but he was only 12, and the abuse he suffered was an additional consideration, so he spent most of his time in a psychiatric hospital until he aged out. he committed more crimes later on though.)
(side SIDE note, this is why in the 90s verse griffin was warned to never touch his dad's shotgun again, which he did not listen to, meaning this event still took place for him.)
okay, so now here's what happened from finn's point of view (as in ghost finn, our finn, asa's finn, you know the one): this is one of the worst moments of finn's entire life, and just thinking about it makes him feel furious. anytime he needs to draw strength from his emotions, he revisits this memory to make himself angry. he successfully used this incident to save asa's life many years ago, and it's implied that he did the same thing to get himself out of the nowhere many years before that. so, naturally, when finn got separated from asa, his first idea was to revisit this memory to fuel his anger. only, it didn't work this time. this time, he doesn't feel angry, he feels sad and ashamed because this isn't who he is anymore. he finds himself trapped in an endless loop, forced to watch it happen over and over again. he starts thinking that this is Hell with a capital H, an eternal punishment for what he's done. when he sees asa, he's horrified because he thinks it means asa has died and gone to Hell -- something finn can't even fathom.
okay, now from ASA'S perspective…. we find out that he knew about this incident all along. he heard and saw everything that finn begged him not to. all this time, he's been reassuring finn that he's a good person, deserving of love, that he was just a kid and he's allowed to find happiness, etc. all along, he knew that finn had pulled the trigger intending to kill his father. yet he still believed every word he said. he still believes finn is inherently good. asa would have taken this to the grave if he could; he thought it would only cause finn more pain to know that asa knows.
asa truly believes that this incident is just a memory, so he tries to prove it by attempting to interact with the memory, but he's caught off guard when richard, lucy, and griffin actually see him. they're all so shocked by this supposed home intruder that they fall silent, something finn knows is not normal for this memory, so he gets up to find asa. richard has the gun now because he'd ripped it out of griffin's hands. asa thinks the gun is empty because he knows griffin pulled the trigger and it didn't go off, but finn obviously knows the truth: it would only take a few seconds to fire. he also knows that this is the exact reason his dad bought the gun in the first place, for home defense in the event of a break in (to be fair, this is not that implausible considering the company their family kept at this point) so richard is 100% prepared to use deadly force against asa, who he thinks just broke into his house.
bonus: finn's reaction makes me really sad. we've SEEN the lengths he'll go to to protect asa in the past... but when it comes to his father, he mostly freezes up. he's even physically hiding behind asa :(

I didn't have the music playing the first read of your new post but I did just now and WHOA it kind of gave me chills??? Thats the kind of movie that plays before shit is about to go down
ahhh yay i'm glad!!! i'm always wishing i could add music/atmospheric noise to my scenes because so much of the impact in media comes from the audio. i'm still just barely dipping my toes into video editing so it's not great but if you guys think it's cool i would love to do more of this kind of thing!! sadly because of the way tumblr works, i'm only able to use a video for the first image in the post, it can't go anywhere in the middle, so that's annoying but it could still be cool to set the scene. i had a lot of fun experimenting anyway!!

Finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Both of our boys have been in hell. Im crying there's a scene in the crave book series where a character tries to essentially bring another character out of their own hell scenario like Asa and Finn and I just think scenes like that are so sad but sweet!
asa's on some i'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition shit jfksjdsj
i've never heard of that book series but i'm suuuuch a sucker for characters who get trapped inside their own minds / hell / another world and have to be rescued from themselves (bonus points if it's someone who sees them for exactly who they are and loves them anyway.......) so i might have to check that out lmao

i'm really so sorry guys i think i'm going to have to post this story post tomorrow because i'm just having an awful mental health day. idk if i've talked about it before but one of my worst compulsions is re-reading my scenes hundreds and hundreds of times before i can bring myself to hit post, and i just don't think it's going to happen today, i've been trying for hours 💀 i need to step away from the computer before i start crying tbh. i'm really sorry. i've been so excited to share this one because i think it turned out exactly how i envisioned it, but my brain hates me sometimes and i just have to roll with it. here's a goofy picture of my dog to apologize

if any of you guys like frozen pines and you haven't watched all of us strangers yet, you really should because that movie says more in 90 minutes than i've been rambling about for 6 years

Your entire story feels like it's whole soundtrack would be Kate Bush. No one else. Just Kate Bush.
i'm gonna take that as a strong compliment even though if i'm being honest i've only heard a few kate bush songs 😭 it's funny, i have the dreaming & hounds of love on cassette because my mom gave me all her old music, i've just never listened to them..

your tags about shadow made me cry 😭 finn having no one but her in his life to miss him vs now having asa missing him so much. that’s so beautiful your storytelling is so moving brandi truly
YOU GET MEEEE 😭 it's the way finn was so curious about asa in the beginning but was scared to let him in yet all it took was a few moments of kindness for him to put his trust in asa. literally sinking his claws in and never letting go.. at the end of the day he's just a stray in a cruel world looking for a home that he'd never allowed himself to even dream of
