ALRIGHT Y’ALL, BUCKLE IN FOR A STONED, SLEEP-DEPRIVED, AUTISM-FUELED HOFFSTRAHM SONG ANALYSIS (HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED)
Alright I’ll stop yelling now lol
The song is called “Cool About It” by boygenius—the lyrics of which, in the context of Hoffstrahm, would definitely fit within Strahm’s POV in my opinion. I’m just gonna go verse by verse and kinda explain the metaphors I’m seeing here, some of which are heavily influenced by my headcanons (crucify me idc). Anyway
Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool
And make fun of the cowboys with the neck tattoos
Ask you easy questions about work and school
I’m trying to be cool about it
Feelin’ like an absolute fool about it
Wishin’ you were kind enough to be crueler about it
Tellin’ myself I can always do without it
Knowin’ that it probably isn’t true
In an abstract sense, I feel that these two verses represent their initial animosity towards each other—Strahm did NOT like that man, lol. But Hoffman hadn’t given him that much reason to suspect him yet; mans was just having a 🏳️‍🌈 ✨ repressed homosexual moment ✨🏳️‍🌈
Strahm just gets bad vibes from this mf, and from the first verse, I can just imagine them at work having to make small talk while Strahm is just. Fucking infuriated by this freak himbo murderer, all the fucking time, but also kinda wants to fuck him. In the second half, “wishin’ you were kind enough to be crueler about it” = 1. wishing Hoffman wasn’t so charming and charismatic so he could openly hate on him, and 2. wishing he didn’t want to fuck him lol
Moving on
I can prepare for absolution if you’d only ask
So I take some offense when you say “no regrets”
I remember it’s impossible to pass your test
But I’m tryin’ to forget about it
Feelin’ like I’m breaking a sweat about it
Wishin’ you would kindly get out of my head about it
Tellin’ myself one day I’ll forget about it
Knowin’ that it probably isn’t true
I feel that the third verse represents their dynamic after the events of Saw III and IV and after Strahm survives the trap that was supposed to fucking execute him. Between that and Perez’s last words being “Detective Hoffman,” mans is now officially SUS of his toxic man crush. “So I take some offense when you say “no regrets” - Hoffman pissing Strahm the fuck off by acting cold and oblivious after likely murdering Perez: someone he deeply cared for. “I remember it’s impossible to pass your test” - Folks…HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I think that one’s probably self-explanatory, lol, it’s just 🤌🏻
Moving onto the fourth verse…I mean, damn y’all, Strahm is still down bad for this man 😟 not much else to say here. He hates him for being a freakass murderer, he hates that he’s down bad for him, and all the while he’s trying to track him down and make him suffer for what he’s done. Folks…what a mess.
Once, I took your medication to know what it’s like
And now I have to act like I can’t read your mind
I ask you how you’re doing, and I let you lie
But we don’t have to talk about it
I can walk you home and practice method acting
I’ll pretend being with you doesn’t feel like drowning
Tellin’ you it’s nice to see how good you’re doing
Even though you know it isn’t true
I REALLY feel like these last two verses connect the two through their shared grief—and what that means for Strahm’s morality. “Once, I took your medication to know what it’s like / And now I have to act like I can’t read your mind” = Strahm’s’s grief for Perez and his ineffable fury towards Hoffman that he has to contain for the sake of bullshit professionalism / Strahm’s realization that that was perhaps exactly what Hoffman felt towards Seth Baxter after he killed Angelina. And then the rest of it is just Strahm kinda having a crisis thinking maybe he and Hoffman aren’t so different and still. Wanting. TO FUCK HIM.
In this essay I will

BFF I’M BACK LITRALLY THE DAY AFTER AND BOY DO I HAVE UPDATES FOR YOU 🤭🤭🤭
1. I STARTED OUTLINING AND DRAFTING MY FIRST FIC EHEHEHE AND SUPER EXCITED TO START WRITING IT 🤭
2. I FINISHED READING [REDACTED] AND I THOUGHT ABT THE MOST HEART WRENCHING, TUMMY CHURNING, EYE BAWLING PLOT AND TBH IF I DO GET SO INCLINED TO STICK WITH IT THEN IT MIGHT COME OUT BEFORE THE FIRST THOUGHT OF FIC LMAO
3. I NEED TO KNOW ABT ‘A STUDY IN MONSTERS’ RIGHT NEOWWWWW 😫🙏 CAUSE I JUST THOUGHT OF LIKE 5 DIFFERENT GENRES BASED OFF THE VIBES/p
Ok time for a more calmer vibe LMAO
For the first fic I genuinely think that any member would be suitable for the ML? And so I decided to let you (my fav author and parasocial bestie) to bequeath which member this fic shall belong to 🤭 (uhhhh spoilers/insight: dream realm(?) but not in a soulmate way, angst, possibly abrupt/open ending but also happy in a way, v fluffy moments at the same time tho, manic pixie dream boy???)
And finally after adoring the movie I decided to go read [redacted] and LORD WHY DID IT HURT 39475629 TIMES AS MUCH AS THE MOVIE LIKE
Movie: light work, no reaction
Book: oUUuU, okay, its got a lil kick 😨
But I got an au perfectly inspired by this in a modern retelling typa way ig SPOILER ALERT THERE IS A LOVE CORNER, CHANHEE AND SANGYEON OR YOUNGHOON(???) we WILL be getting a lil Kevin up in here tho TRUST
And tbh it could go in 2 different directions rn but I’ll have to see which one will get a conclusive ending but the vision is definitely there dw
And DAMNNNNNN I didn’t know there were so many WIPs/nm/p like I know I got a lil snippet of 3 in the past but with each drop of a new WIP I get even more excited 😭 just seeing your creative process is motivating to me lolol and the banners AHHHHHHHH IT REALLY DID GIVE “graphic design is my passion 🤭” YUHHH YUHHHH
but wait also looking at the list again I wanna see more into the ‘bones (orig.)’ and ‘bones (remixed)’ 😳
OH AND BEFORE I FORGET TO MENTIONNNNNNN that Spiderman!Sunwoo and Spiderman!Eric did have me REEEEEEELINGGGGG esp since I finally got the chance to watch across the spiderverse PHEWWWW Spiderman!Eric is just so cheeky, so himbo, so smoochable like damn I do think he is capable of wanting to attempt the Toby Maguire upside-down kiss but then getting too nervous/excited/antsy that he lets go of his web and crashes on the ground AJNDJBVINWI
AND SUNWOO AS STARLORD WOULD ALSO WORK CAUSE HE REALLY HAS THAT SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR THING GOING ON and then his cheesyness too omg I think Sunwoo is perfectly corny to be starlord 😫🤞
AND ALSO MY ATEEZ BIAS ISSSSSSSSSSSSSS -drumroll please- 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Wooyoung! 🥳🥳🥳
He’s just so sweet and caring and hot and beautiful and hardworking and loving and he’s so, he’s so, he’s so- ☹️☹️☹️☹️
Yeah, I love Woo with my whole being 😔🙏
Kk that’s it for nowwwwww talk to you soon!
- Toodles!, 🌷anon 
HI BEST FRAN WELCOME BACK 🤩✊🏼
OMG THE DRAFTING HAS BEGUN???? LESGO????? I AM SO EXCITED FOR U AND SUPER EXCITED ALSO TO SEE UR JOURNEY AND THE FINAL OUTCOME 👀✨
HELLO WAIT what is [REDACTED] 🤨 i need to know for research purposes and cuz im a nosy mfker and cuz i also scoured thru our prev interactions and don't think we talked abt it previously 🤨
AHHHHSHAHHAHAH A STUDY IN MONSTERS IS COMING RIGHT UP !!
Tumblr media
ITS LIKE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST BUT EVERYBODY'S A BEAST ???? well, the main cast is all considered some kind of "monster," but ofc, the real monsters r the humans who have belittled them and villainized them. but reader basically has like,,, medusa powers??? and chanhee has like a demon trapped inside him and younghoon is like fae but THE SCARY fae you feel??? but any who, i've gotten some back story done and it's not meant to become like a 30k one shot or anything; i was trying to aim for it to be kind of like the length of simple gifts, but we'll see where i go w it !!
Tumblr media
OKAY BUT WAIT U SHOULD TELL ME WHAT U THOUGHT OF WHEN U SAW THE TITLE CUZ IM VERY CURIOUS !!
okok i have so much to say abt the next part of ur ask 😭😭 1.) BEQUEATH 💀💀💀💀 2.) hello stop that rn flattery will get u everything u desire 🤧😌 3.) MANIC PIXIE DREAM BOY AHAH OMG IM SO HYPED 4.) eric, juyeon sounds abt right 😻😻
OKAY BUT LIKE books > their movie adaptations tbh lsnfkenfk there is so much that books can show that movies can't, and also vice versa !! but WTF DYM BY LOVE CORNER (´Д⊂ヽ GIRLIE BESTIE HONEY WHAT IS A LOVE CORNER 😭😭😭 w chanhee sangyeon younghoon AND beloved kevin too???? my /guy/ do u want me to cry 😃 wait don't answer that—💀 omg i feel like i almost never have an idea of what an ending looks like UNTIL I GET THERE LMFAOOOO like i really don't care abt endings cuz i can't get to the ending if there is not story substance, u feel 😭😭😭 but im sure the ✨right ending✨ will appear in ur horizons as u go forth !!
KANDKDNDKN i had to keep quite a few wips off the list 😭💀 it's embarrassing akdnkdnf BUT im so glad that seeing my process motivates u TT that's very cool to hear and i also like talking abt the writing process a lot so thank u for feeding into my self esteem /hj AHHH SHUSH UR GONNA MAKE ME BLUSH I LOVE MAKING BANNERS SO THANK U 😚 im too tech grandma to use canva or photoshop so i feel like a lot of mine r a little simpler and more minimal which isn't bad ofc but yeah, thanks so much :'))) BRO i wish i could go into graphic design skfnkdndk
OHOH the bones orig and remix ver LMAOOO
Tumblr media
both versions r meant to be like murder mysteries yk?? and they're both set in time settings where it's not quite the future, but im also not a historian so they're also not completely historically accurate T-T they just take place in the past LMFAO but the original ver is more like dark academia centered where the murder takes place at this elitist academy/boarding school in the middle of nowhere, and reader is like a "charity case" whose uncle took her under his wing after her parents were murdered or something, and changmin is like studying to become a physician and they both get looped into the investigation. i have a some written of that ver but it's not very interesting 💀
AND recently like two days ago 💀 i went back to one of the ideas i had for the banner before i started writing the dark academia one (wow that's such a long sentence). anyways, said idea was to take place in like ,, not a school 🤡 but idk if you've read the stalking jack the ripper series but it's based on that !! AND a little bit of six of crows too 🤡 it's not fantastical or anything, but changmin is like a doctor in the lower end and someone's been out here murdering people and shit. changmin is also kind of inspired by daredevil and kaz brekker, but i'll have to get into that some other time 💀
Tumblr media
that was one of my favorite parts lol i think this ver of bones has captured a bit more of my interest than the other ver? tho, i would love to see where the other ver went, just cuz i already put so much thought into the storyline and characters and headcanons and back stories, etc.
AHHHHHH YES I AGREE ABT SPIDEY!ERIC I LOVE SPIDEY ERIC he's just ,, yk Just Some Guy™ LMAO so he's a perf spiderboy !!! he's kind of modeled after tom holland's spiderman and sunwoo after miles morales ofc, but eric would TOTALLY try the upside down kiss and fail miserably 😭😭😭 but i think he's def the type to keep trying UNTIL he gets it down 🤤😋 and just crafting the different earths btwn sunwoo and eric was just so much fun cuz i was trying to figure out what i wanted each universe to have and ksnfkdndkkd ANYWAYS . STAR LORD SUNWOO HAS ME REELING CUZ LIKE AKDNKDMD i NEEDED this man to be w the raccoon it just didn't feel right if he wasn't. like he was either gonna be nova or starlord, and i feel like the only other boy besides sunwoo who can do star lord justice is hyunjae, but he's already IRON MAN lol
OMG UR A WOOYOUNG STAN??? that actually feels so right 😭😭😭 wooyo be snatching up hearts ALL OVER THE PLACE lately 😭🤧 like damn, get it bro 🥂 but i totally agree, he's such a sweetheart and so funny and so talented and just sknfkendn mwah wanna give him a big smooch !
WHEW what a long recap/catch up reply 🤣 but anyways, hope ur doing well as always 😚 love u lots, my honey bunches of pollinated petals 💖

seeing a lot of mariano hate lately and i just want to ramble about it for a second because i think it’s a little weird. mariano probably had at least four scenes total throughout the entire duration of the movie, so there’s not much to go off of, but what we do get gives us a small glimpse of who he is as a character. 
first, the dinner between the madrigal’s and the guzman’s: 
Tumblr media
here, the anticipated marriage between isabela and mariano is discussed in a way that sounds more like something of a business deal. it’s “the guzman’s and the madrigal’s together will be so good for the encanto.” not “the marriage between mariano and isabela will not only make them happy, but the family as well.” more importance is placed on the betterment of the encanto rather than isabela and mariano’s individual feelings about their marriage. mariano does look happy, but we soon discover that isabela is anything but.
Tumblr media
isabela gives so much for the sake of her family, so this scene is not only pretty heartbreaking, but it’s cathartic for her as well. she can finally admit, out loud, that she never had any interest in mariano but was willing to marry him if it made her family happy. since this is the case, it’s not that far of a stretch to assume that mariano most likely did the same thing for the sake of his own family. that could very well be the case, and he just happens to have a better poker face than isabela. mariano’s mom was probably concerned about her son’s future, the expansion of her own family if mariano ever decided to have kids, and who in particular he would be married to. what better family for her son to marry into than the one with magical powers who helps their village daily? and who better for mariano to spend his life with than isabela, who has been nothing but “perfect” in every way her entire life? in the case of a mother with only one son, (we don’t know if mariano has any other siblings), it only makes sense.
circling back to the proposal scene, there’s a brief moment in which mirabel hits her head on the dinner table:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
again, it’s short, but it shows that mariano genuinely cares about isabela’s family members (nobody else really bothered to ask if mirabel was alright, but granted, there was a lot going on at the time). he’s sweet, and i like how the movie took a little bit of time to show us this. 
also, let’s not forget that mariano was front and center when the rest of the village came to help rebuild the madrigal’s home. i can bet my bottom dollar that was his idea even though he ended up with a failed proposal and a broken nose.
then, finally, there’s this moment towards the end of the movie:
Tumblr media
this scene is where most of the mariano dislike stems from, and i can kind of see why. it looks like mariano only decided to end up with dolores because things sort of crashed between him and isabela. but when mirabel approaches him earlier and asks him why he looks so bummed out, mariano replies that he just has a lot of love inside. it’s clear that mariano wants to fall in love and have a family, which i think might be a first when it comes to male characters in disney movies. we’ve seen male disney characters fall for their love interests, but this is the first time we’ve seen a man so eager to find the love of his life and settle down. his intentions are good, he just directed them to the wrong person, mainly due to family expectation.
what makes dolores a good match for mariano is that she knows very specific things about him. “you talk so loud, you take care of your mother and you make her proud. you write your own poetry every night when you go to sleep...” we can juxtapose this to isabela who had no interest in him anyway and probably didn’t even know that much about mariano to begin with. on my second and third rewatch of this movie, mariano and dolores getting together at the end seems less like him “jumping” from isabela to dolores because he couldn’t have isabela, and more like mariano finally finding someone who liked him for him instead of doing so for family, and was just as enthusiastic about falling in love with the right person as he was, even if it was a bit rushed. that someone is dolores. 
TLDR; mariano guzman is a sweet, caring, romantic at heart who takes care of his mother and deserves more appreciation.
