devon & connor (+noah) - where's my love?

(so basically this is the story about connor and devon's struggles. we all love to talk about how soft and perfect they are, but we forget about the rough days, the ones where devon has a goal that she can't quit (and maybe even feelings that she can't let go) and connor just want them to move on, to be safe…)

#omg??? nat this is AMAZING !!!! im so glad u finished it aahhhhh! #also the voiceovers so specific and the coloring everythings so pretty #and the angst i love angst lmaooo #connor x mc

enough abt noah marshall, i’m missing miss jocelyn wu

#ntm on noah i joke bc i’ve only been talking abt him recently when my blog name is for joce #jocelyn wu

sometimes, I just think of how Noah was jealous of Devon because of how close Devon was with Jane. So imagine his pain (that started at age eight btw) when he and Devon drift apart after his sister's death. The closeness that Devon had with Jane didn't even extend to her twin brother.

Not only did Noah think that Jane liked Devon over him, but Noah and Devon's fallout implements the idea in Noah's head that Devon also preferred Jane over him (we see this resentment over their failed friendship when he snaps at them at the party). Basically, in his mind, Noah was always second choice.

but! If you look at it from Devon's perspective, they didn't intend to hurt Noah in distancing themself; it can be seen as a coping mechanism with the "I avoided you because everytime I see you, I see her, and it hurts" type of thing, or the "I'm staying away to protect you, because I don't want another Marshall kid to die."

anywayyyyyy, the complexity of their relationship will always haunt me, because the rebuilding of their relationship also means they have to face their trauma. Devon has to face their fears surrounding Noah, and Noah has to confront his insecurities about himself and his self-worth.

theyre so "we made our choices. we could've made better ones, but I don't have any regrets."

[jocelynwus]

Why is trauma bonding with your friend's brother over his dead/missing sister a running theme in Choices?

[jocelynwus]

This the house where all the fucked up people live?

#guys am i wild for thinking shes a good fem fc for white devon in it lives #i need to watch the show but the vibes are there

[jocelynwus]

wait im lowkey missing this account and what if i posted the drafts of edits i have and maybe make some more bc thanksgiving break... LMAOOOO

[jocelynwus]

i’m so sorry but can we talk abt how the writers literally put this amount of tension in here for noah and mc’s “first” interaction, like the angst, the tension… there was so much potential to make them “enemies” to lovers from the start

#don’t mind me this prob makes no sense and i’m rambling at one am bc i just found time to reread it #noah marshall #noah x mc #it lives in the woods
