I hate it here is central to the story because she makes up lunar valleys in her mind, spends all her time there, and ultimately gets ‘saved’ by someone who she actually thinks is like a skylight/alien from another planet. the romanticism doesn’t have to be limited to her inner life anymore! she can express it! she has cosmic love in real life again! until she doesn’t lol.
down bad is so wolfstar coded but specifically from remus' pov while sirius is in azkaban
"cuz fuck it i was in love. so fuck you if i can't have us" IM SCREAMING BC ITS SAYING AS FAR AS I KNOW YOU'RE A MURDERER WHO BETRAYED ME AND OUR FRIENDS BUT GOD HOW I LOVED YOU, AND FUCK YOU FOR RUINING THAT FOR ME
currently thinking about one fic i wrote where shadow kept referring to himself as "foolish // a fool", because of his romantic feelings for sonic and how they would ( or wouldn't ) make him act around him. and then he told himself he would be a fool no longer when he finally confessed his feelings.
it wasn't even intentional when i first wrote it, but i eventually realized and decided to make it a theme, since i am nothing but a lover for the sad gay dramas. as long as they have a relatively happy ending, of course ( or a bittersweet ending, i can't have a depressing one ).
might use that language again in some of my future fics, cuz i really feel like shadow would refer to himself as a pining fool.
if y'all happen to know what this fic is, thank you for your support and i still appreciate the comments i received.
wanting to feel wanted is another recurring theme I’ve noticed on this album. she wants her lover to want her back and prioritize her (imgonnagetyouback, the alchemy, the albatross, so high school). she wants her exes to wonder about her (the black dog, chloe or sam or sophia or marcus, peter). as soon as she feels wanted again, she makes drastic decisions, whether it be leaving her current relationship or rekindling it (guilty as sin vs imgonnagetyouback). she’s at her lowest when she feels discarded or resented. she’d rather be experimented on and broken over and over again than left stranded (down bad). he runs because he loves her. she’ll bolt before he gets the chance to.
