Having thoughts about Orpheus and Eurydice again, about hadestown, about hope, about doubt, about fear, about how the world is cruel, about what it could be in spite of what it is now,
Thinking about how hope can open impossible doors and provide paths to new life, about how doubt and hope can be powerful in the face of oppression but doubt and fear fight it every step of the way, about how hard it is to overcome doubt and fear when you’re just one person,
Thinking about how in Hadestown Orpheus doubts and fears that Eurydice isn’t there, that he’s been tricked, that he’s not enough to convince this god to allow them to leave, about how the only voices it seems he can hear are the fates, how they echo the doubt and the fear he’s feeling in himself,
Thinking about how if all you feel is doubt and fear, if you have lost hope entirely, your fate is doomed,
but if you have hope, if you take the steps necessary, if you follow through, your fate isn’t sealed, it’ll take you through many twists and turns along the way, but if you can hold onto that hope, we might just make it

& i will say, one of the things i love most about writing with @thosefiveadoraburrs is that characterization wise, we got all our bases covered. i relate to callum the most yet have rayla has my favourite. they relate to rayla the most yet have callum as their favourite. any aspects of callum i don’t relate to (mostly his selective loyalty and skepticism) are things they relate to; any aspects of rayla they don’t relate to (mostly being so governed by morality / impulsivity) are aspects of her i relate to. it makes writing either of them very very easy

God you just know that Minato and Yukari have gossip/pamper nights where they meet up in each others' room and give each other face mask and paint each others nails while gossiping about the other kids at school.
Hell, Yukari could come home late after club and just kick down the door like "You would believe the audacity of Katsuki today!" And Minato's already brewing the tea for them so he hear all the deets.
I missed this ask my bad but you are SO RIGHT! I love this idea too and I had the same idea. They love gossiping about their classmates (not in a malicious way they're just nosey besties) and also probably shit talking the teachers. I love the idea of them painting each other's nails and having face masks that's really fun and cute...

prongsfoot week day#1
•when and why did you begin to ship prongsfoot? what makes you ship it ?
i had always loved james and sirius as friends and their friendship, and just their dynamic, used to get grumpy when authors at times replaced or sidelined either of them in favour of a different character, or just made them two friends on paper and didn't give them the material. i always just looked at them with the "bestie lens"
the person who got me into prongsfoot was lovely miss– @padfootastic
intially i came across her fantastic opinions of sirius on someone else's blog and immediately thought - must follow this person she thinks on a similar brain wavelength to mine. stalked her blog and just was on a cotton candy moonland when i found her ao3 account. loved all her fics and her portrayal of james/sirius/harry to bits
(shovel talk , the whole notes app drabbles have become my comfort reads)
she's the one (well more like me stalking her blog and her wide variety of very enjoyable tags introduced me to romantic and queerplatonic prongsfoot)
also camichats on ao3 works of prongsfoot are like fresh rain on parched land, much needed and very well loved.
the why?
see, describing prongsfoot is very hard to me they just exist in their own bubble just orbiting next to each other. two peas in a pod– i could go on with epithets for them. something about the how every marauder has james as a best friend ™ but James has sirus does it to me. the almost devotional level of loyalty that these two have in each other, the extent of comfort and stability they see in each other how they are each other's home, hope and responsibility.
it's funny how they only have like five paragraphs in books (actually nvm- 5 is fine, jkr probably would have made james a figment of sirius plan's to bully Snape or something if she wrote their whole story) but almost every other dialogue sirius had he was like - james my beloved (and rip james you were dead from page 1 you couldnt get dialogues).
everytime i think about how sirius just went mad with grief after seeing james die – it fully breaks me. like there was just this one person who always used to cover for him, save him and excuse his actions who used to be the shield for sirius's rough edges and that person is gone now. for the first time since he was 11, he's unsupported. his home was killed
like it's hilarious to think about (not really) a group that was known for it's unending friendship (animagus, supporting financially) just broke like strings of marionette before even james potter body was fully cooled down. fuck he wasn't even buried when sirius was thrown in askaban (and turning 21)
in the end it's really intresting to think about a chance meeting with james on the train- pretty much changes his life path entirely– talk about a butterfly effect indeed.
the fic i was talking about in tags
