GUILTY AS SIN? BUT WOLFSTAR
Okay so everytime I listen to this song, I imagine Remus and Sirius (the ATYD ones) singing it for each other. And I really need to get this out of my head so here we are:
Drowning in the Blue Nile
He sent me 'Downtown Lights'
I hadn't heard it in a while
My boredom's bone deep
This cage was once just fine
This whole part is Remus. It's literally about HIM. Him talking about his "cage" (i.e. St. Edmund's) , which he had accepted before Hogwarts, and even the Shrieking Shack before the other Marauders transformed into animagi and helped him. Before Sirius told him that he doesn't deserve to suffer alone.
Am I allowed to cry?
This line is TOO accurate for ATYD Remus, as he's always avoiding crying and sees it as a weakness.
I dream of cracking locks
Throwing my life to the wolves
Basically him after he meets Livia. My guy was ready to leave Hogwarts before NEWTs to go to the pack and kill Greyback ASAP.
Or the ocean rocks
Crashing into him tonight
He's a paradox
I'm seeing visions, am I bad?
Or mad? Or wise?
"Ocean Rocks". Taylor, you're not doing anything to disprove that you're NOT MsKingBean89. I think of them having confessions at the beach in Cornwall. Remus yelling at Sirius on the same beach and spilling his thoughts out after the staying with the pack for a month. Him having an identity crisis and screaming "I don't know who I am anymore!". Later that night, Sirius telling him that he's his Moony.
What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh
Only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top lip kiss
How I long for our trysts
Them constantly fighting and then wanting for it to be over the next moment. Making up later.
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?
Now I think the next verse is from Sirius' perspective:-
I keep these longings locked
In lowercase inside a vault
Sirius keeping his thoughts of Remus away from Walpurga. From the Dementors.
Someone told me
There's no such thing as bad thoughts
Only your actions talk
"Love is something you do"
These fatal fantasies
Giving way to labored breath
Taking all of me
We've already done it in my head
If it's make believe
Why does it feel like a vow
We'll both uphold somehow
Post Halloween 1976 Sirius thinking he's not gay and this is just his teenage hormones™, and wondering if HE has corrupted Remus.
What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh
Only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh what a way to die
My bedsheets are ablaze
I've screamed his name
Building up like waves
Crashing over my grave
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?
Finally, the BRIDGE:-
What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me
Is actually what's holy?
I imagine this to be from Remus because of all the hate werewolves get. He's always thinking that at the end of everything, he'd still be hated for what he is.
If long suffering propriety
Is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me
So stunningly
I choose you and me
... Religiously
This is Sirius because everyone thinks he's guilty immediately because of his family. He never got a trial and was sent to Azkaban. The internalised homophobia and his love for Remus scared him so much, so it can be said that Remus HAS haunted him.
So yeah, in conclusion, Taylor wrote this song about them. Thank you for reading my gibberish ily here's a cookie 🍪

correct me if im wrong but im PRETTY sure that for something to be a proper sequel it needs more than literally just reusing the same world and character models and slightly altering their design or adding an ability (that they got somwhere in between which isnt shown nor elaborated on either while previous abilities or interests/knowledge vanish)
made the mistake of saying that really totk isnt a sequel bc it doesnt build on, nor expand nor elaborate nor continue anything from botw, its the same preset of basic things like ... world and character models and tells an entirely different story utterly disconnected from anything botw, which it not only acts like it never happened (aside from like one dialog which is not enough for me when everyone else has literally forgotten everything and tbh feels more like a reference thats actually a slap and laugh in your face) but often times actively contradicts it, like a different version of the same thing
which is called an alternative universe
half of the reasons why i despise totk is bc i wanted, expected and was TOLD its a sequel when it isnt, can you really blame me for being disappointed and frustrated when i was told its a sequel, which should build on established stuff, to a game and its lore i deeply cared about and then get an alternative universe game that has nothing to do with the one i cared about except wear its face and STILL get told its a sequel even just by simply reusing models

been having this problem lately where im feeling really in love with a lot of people in my life. and its like killing me. am i crazy in the head or really hormonal or like what. what DOES a crush feel like? what DOES love feel like? have i ever felt it really and truly? the only crushes ive ever had have been cus AWFUL MEN were like Ooiugh youre Sooo wonderful! I Love You! and i was like yeah ok. SWOON! but they were awful every time. you dont understand. terrible evil no good. and having crushes on them sucks. so is that the only way for me to get a crush then. someone has to have a crush on me first. are you kidding
that OR: im just being a hopeless romantic. like swooon im so in love with life and all of my wonderful friends and all of these wonderful characters and the plants and the animals and the world around me BOOOORING. WHO CARES! i wish i had someone to swoon over. as i keep living everyone i know is getting partners and its killing me. its like what am iiiii doing wrong. but the thing is i dont even think i WANT a partner? i want the IDEA of having a partner. which IS WORSE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT??? i just dont understand how it works. any of it. ever. and its not like anyone can TEACH me. unless theyre like head over heeeels for me and think they can fix me (which like who goes into a relationship with that in mind). but i dont understaaaand i dont get it and i dont know how i will ever get it. maybe i wont ever and maybe i will. i have SO MUCH LIFE to live but meeting people only gets harder when you get older :-/ so whats the point. SIGH! GROAN! is it over for me chat
