He brings the flashlight closer so he can read the names. James Fleamont Potter, is carved on one side, and Lily Jane Evans Potter on the other. Before Remus could begin to contemplate what Sirius’s relationship was to these people, he noticed the dates etched right under the names.

The first date that catches his attention is the date of their death: the same day, Halloween, two years ago.

Remus can remember what he was doing that night; He was with Marlene at a bar downtown, dressed up as Sherlock Holmes while she was pretending to be Watson. At the same exact time he was downing his third vodka shot of the night, these two people, two people Sirius cared about, were dying.

#images i drew on my phone approximately 90 seconds before class started #tma vs tgcf is pitting two bad bitches against each other but #from the other guys propaganda he is apparently a beloved side character #which i totally understand. #BUT HUA CHENG IS THE DEUTERANTAGONIST WHO LOVED XIE LIAN SO MUCH IT UNDOOMED HIM FROM THE NARRATIVE #HE DIDNT CLAW HIS WAY OUT OF TONGLU TO BE BEATEN LIKE THIS #also tma has gay people that dont undoom each other from the narrative. L + ratio (/j/j/j/j we all love tragedies here) #hua cheng will never rest in peace and he doesn't want to because he has a smokin boyfriend #they are both angry goths but has gerry died THREE TIMES????? no. just once. lame. #gerry got his skin bound into a necromancy book that was eventually burned but hua cheng ripped out his eye to craft a sickass scimitar !!! #hua cheng haunts the narrative before he dies in a hundred tiny ways and then HEAVILY after he dies a second time #he's an awesome city owner and has violent beef with HEAVEN. and he carves statues and paints and builds temples #and is also a self conscious loser <3 #his gay awakening was intensely traumatic and religious for everybody involved. and he's had the same life mission since he was 10 #he is actively fighting ghost discrimination and getting dangerous magical items off of the normal human market #also he is always bedecked in elaborate silver and chains and eyeliner and ALWAYS in blood red clothes #HE CAN MAKE IT RAIN BLOOD!!???!?!? ALSO #he stick and poked his god's name on himself but his handwriting is so bad it's unrecognizable and the signs he puts up have evil auras #this has ceased to be propaganda. now im just gushing. only tgcf fans will see this anyway. whatever youre getting blorbo rant #tgcf #art #poll #hua cheng #lmao #my art #tian guan ci fu #hualian #xie lian #hob #heaven official's blessing

was just thinking about how amazing it is that weird wonderful world and ghost files exist at the same time from the same company. you have the same minds, the same hosts, the same team and yet the shows are like day and night. www reminds us of the wonder and whimsy and joy all around us while ghost files showcases the world's darker side in its tragedies and horrors. and that they're able to execute both shows each with its own finely-tuned aesthetic and its own little universe is really a beautiful display of how much Talent and Love exists at watcher and it's so so special.

#i just picked out these two shows but the same could be said for so many others. that they even have so many to choose from is incredible. #really the show/season format of watcher is genius and they are so smart for thinking of that. #it lets them have so much variety in their content without getting themselves trapped in a box like they were at bf. #they can still hold onto the Ghoul Boys Spooky Vibe but also let their more lighthearted and wholesome sides show. #to borrow from miles. they are both spooky And cookie. #and it's cool to see other channels like the try guys pick up on the success of that and build it into their own channels in a way that's #not too different from what they were doing before. #grateful for it all. i love them and i love this community so much and i'm soso excited to see where we all go next. #watcher #weird wonderful world #ghost files #ahtw #ri.txt

Keep thinking about how time in Frieren is measured in years since Himmel's death. The fact that at this point in the anime, he's been dead far longer than Frieren travelled with him, and yet, that's still how she relates time to this world.

#I have some thoughts about flamme and himmel and the space they both occupy for frieren but as an anime-only I'm being cautious. #I do think the stuff with the 'ghost' though implies a lot. flamme had been dead for so long and yet she was who frieren saw the first time #it took frieren that long to get attached enough to make a connection strong enough to challenge the one she had with flamme. #but she still speaks of the quest time as being a 'mere' decade. I think both flamme and himmel understood her better than she did herself #anyway yeah for now I'm sticking with the anime. let's see how long I last before swapping to the manga. #frieren #oh also. using the time since his death is so neat from a meta perspective. bc we have these new humans + every time the years appear #you're reminded that they too are subject to the passage of time in a way that frieren isn't.

Two souls. Both given a second chance. Both waiting for a third.

Some bonus versions under the cut :D

also shoutout to @fishcop for listening to me ramble about this idea and then showing up with a beautiful drawing like. an hour later :D

#HIIIIIIIIIIII SO GUESS WHOS BEEN INSANE ABOUT PD EVER SINCE THE S2 FINALE CAME OUT #THATS RIGHT #ITS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE #anyways this was something i thought up while listening to the finale and now here we are a month later #I've been challenging myself to make sure my drawings look good unlined lately #and i really love how its forcing me to pay more attention to detail #in this case i honestly think i prefer the unlined version #hence why its above the cut :D #the second bonus was literally just because i was doing the rim lighting and i accidentally hid the characters #and the result kinda took my breath away #like. yeah. Theyre both dead. both ghosts. but you can still see the impressions they left behind. they're both still there #anyways #Prime Defenders #Jrwi pd #jrwi prime defenders #william wisp #jrwi pd spoilers #mcyt #qsmp #juanaflippa #qsmp juanaflippa #fire draws

Saw a post that Tommy is Abby 2.0 & that feels SO REAL (older & more mature, introducing Buck to a different way of thinking, knows the job intimately, not quite as into him as he is into them 🫣).

I just hope Tommy leaves in a much better way, bc he gives off good vibes and I ADORE LOU.

#911 abc #evan buckley #tommy kinard #911 s7 #I’m an Abby hater until I DIE bc of the way she did my boy #The chance of Tommy leaving on an adventure and ghosting Buck is low but never 0 #Also I love the fan theory that our Tommy is Abby’s ex-boyfriend Tommy bc that’s hysterical #anyway Buddie endgame always #lou ferrigno jr #abby clark #oliver stark #also they talked about Buck getting off the hamster wheel & how these two relationship (Tommy & M*risol) #would be the last relationships before they get their shit together (in whatever way they’re planning for that to go) #& the imagery of that would be PERFECT. #Abby leaves -> Eddie is introduced & we see the friendship bloom & witness a huge growth in Buck #Tommy leaves -> Buck has learned about himself & grown more and is finally ready to take that next step w his husband lol #I don’t want Buddie this season though #Eddie deserves to have his own arc to understand his feelings & work through his sexuality and the trauma that surrounds that #I want Buddie of course but that only works if Buck & Eddie are both happy and settled in their own skin #I feel like I just ramble in the tags here is this right? is anybody even reading these or am I talking to myself? idek

rewatching season 1 from the perspective of aziraphale falling for crowley before the beginning and realizing that crowley loves him back when he saves his books. changes kind of everything about their interactions in the first season. i am so deeply unwell about it

#their love is just so fucking big #and massive and all encompassing #it’s why it’s such a compelling love story #bc it is literally so grandiose that we can truly fathom it #it’s just human nature. we can’t begin to understand how it feels to love someone you’ve known for 6000 years #and to see all of the things they’ve seen and experienced #to know someone so deeply and intimately after all that time and to still have to keep them at arm’s length #it’s haunting truly and it’s what makes the end of s2 so devastating #bc they’re admitting that the ghosts are there now. they KNOW they’re haunted by the things that keep them apart #but they can’t agree on what to do about it but they both know they want the ghosts gone #me? writing more in the tags than in the post? more likely than you think

“Your cheeks,” Sirius said. “They’ve got a bit more color I’ve noticed.”

“Yeah?” Remus asked. His hands were soapy from the sink, a plate in his hands. “Maybe you’re right.”

“I am,” Sirius said. “I do spend an awful lot of time looking at you, you know. Practically an expert, I am.”

It was the closest thing to a joke he’d heard from Sirius’s mouth in weeks. 

“Well, then,” Remus said, and left it at that.

 “...That’s another reason why this Soap and Ghost relationship works, right--is that, for whatever reason, y’know--that doesn’t need to be talked abut now...but--Ghost has, well it’s clear that Ghost has a huge amount of respect for Soap, right? And he wouldn’t let anybody--in fact, for anybody else to talk to him the way Soap does would mean a different thing--but they’ve been through a lot together. But what’s great about that moment--and I’m glad you brought it up Neil-- it that [Ghost and Soap] are pushing each other to evolve without even realizing it. And for Soap to say something like that costs something for him. And for Ghost to correct the record and say what he says, that costs something too. And I think, again, that’s why this game is so satisfying is these characters--they’re going to places they’ve not been before. But they help each other get there. And I think that’s a good theme that’s come out from this game is that, you know, they need each other.” 

-Samuel Roukin on Ghost and Soap in MWII (x)

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of that interview from yesterday. Not even from a shipping stand point, but Samuel just like seems to get it when it comes to what makes Ghost and Soap scratch at everyone’s brains and I think that’s awesome. 

#ghostsoap #soapghost #call of duty modern warfare 2 #simon ghost riley #john soap mactavish #modern warfare 2022 #i see the line he's toeing and i respect it though -- i think we should just let Sam speak about things like he KNOWS okay #tbh the interview did have some cringe moments but i don't think neil and sam could see the chat and that's where most of the fuckery was #the only other 'cringy' fan question was someone asked 'ghost and soap: bromance or romance' and the interviewer immediately shut it down #neil and sam were just kinda like o-o like it went by so quick and they didn't get to say anything so #also a lot of it just felt kinda awk in general tbh i mean it was live #ALSO they both said like they support all the fans and whatever kind of shit is happening on the internet so #like neil was like 'gaming is for everyone' #and sam said something similar too that i'm not remembering really but the link to the full interview is there so watch for yourself

dan thoughts!!

since a lot of people headcanon one of danny’s obsessions to be space driven, i think it would be cool if dan’s secondary obsession was the complete opposite: the ocean

space is a thing of dreams. it’s beautiful, bright, colorful, and people look at it with awe, admiration and respect, there’s reverence in the way people look at the starry night sky, and to some it brings them joy to think “the stars i gaze at tonight are the same my ancestors did as well”. it connects the past to the present, the memories of the living to the dead.

the ocean is terrifying. it remains mostly unexplored, and the dark depths hide horrid creatures, disfigured predators. there’s no light in the lower zones, only eternal darkness interrupted by whatever luminescence the creatures down there give off. the ocean invokes fear, fear of the unknown, fear of nature’s might. to brave the open seas is to welcome danger and defy death. numerous tragedies took place at sea, and to many, that’s enough to deter them from ever getting too close.

if danny is like the universe, seemingly infinite, full of wonder and ethereal otherness, a symbol of progress and comfort and the creation of life, then dan must be like the ocean, regarded with caution, associated with fear, capable of immeasurable destruction with its volatile will, depicted as an incomprehensible horror synonymous to death-

that despite all odds, harbors life even in its harshest conditions.

i like to think that dan’s creation was a symptom of grief, a consequence of losing yourself, of drowning, and that his redemption could only happen through love, through having something to hold onto, through someone who won’t let you sink.

#I WILL GO INSANE THINKING ABT MY BOY DAN *CHEWS WOODEN TABLE* #he’s so interesting and fascinating #i want more of him and danny interacting :( #ppl say ‘dan is a form of self loathing for danny!’ and im like yes! but dan was born out of self loathing for both his selves as well!! #his human self thinking ‘if my ghost half didn’t exist none of this would’ve happened’ #his ghost self thinking ‘if my human self hadn’t cheated none of this would’ve happened’ #and him just being unable to cope with the fact that he failed- he couldn’t save them- that it was his fault as fenton and phantom #and that leads to the out of sync thing we see in identity crisis <3 #except they hate each other </3 #im not normal!! #danny phantom #dan phantom

i can’t remember if i ever actually made the Ravenous Ghost Bell analysis post, but i wish i had time to make it because i feel like it would be received well in this moment…

#i mean… tldr: ghosts are real in Ravenous #mostly in the heads of the people who ate them #both to harass them in nightmares but also to influence their physical actions #(usually as an echo of something they themselves did in life) #there are COUNTLESS examples of this - which i will give the highlights of when i actually DO make the post #but there’s specifically a moment in the final Boyd-Ives showdown where a bell is rung #and we don’t see who rang it but it causes Boyd to focus and draws him to the barn where he sees the bear trap and is Inspired #and we can presume that the bear trap was Reich’s idea (based on that deleted bear trap shooting scene that i made the gifset of) #but then WHO rang the bell?? #obviously it is implied to (and must have been) Ives #but why did he do it? #to get Boyd’s attention - naturally… sounds like him #he knows that time is ticking… wants to lure Boyd to his trap #BUT the thing is that Ives ate Reich too #and i feel like (being a long-time cannibal with no moral compass) he is probably Less influenced by the people he eats than Boyd is #but i also like to think that - in that moment - Reich subconsciously influenced him to do it #because - notably - Reich was the one who rung that bell the last time he left Fort Spencer - he’s the only character we see so it #so like. tldr again: ghosts are Real in Ravenous and Reich’s ghost rung the bell in that scene #to help Boyd focus and lead him to the solution that would give him the upper hand in the conflict to defeat Ives #and someday i will write ALL of that up properly - but it’s just SO good and i love to talk about it #so here i am #ghostposting the night away… #not tagging this because i want the REAL analysis to get notes whenever i post that #but feel FREE to chat with me about this if you see it! #i love Ravenous and i miss talking about it #i have SO much to say lol

sorry to keep talking about homestuck music but like

do y'all know about that 'Longest Joke in the World' thing? it's like a 50k word story about a guy who gets lost in a desert and it goes on and on, it's so long but it's interesting, and when you get to the end it ends on a punchline that's legitimately funny but part of what makes it so funny is the fact that you had to get through this entire lengthy story to get there. like, you can find a short summary and it won't make it sound funny; forcing yourself through the long narrative gives you certain context to make the thing funny?

anyway, Homestuck is like the emotional reverse of that. all of Homestuck is a lengthy narrative giving you the context to make you ugly cry like a baby at Do You Remem8er Me. Remem8er is the emotional climax of the story and everything else is just wind down. it will be decades later and I will never be over Remem8er

#anyway guess what album i got to #its both a cheap shot at my emotions and SUCH an incredibly expensive shot. at my emotions #its the ultimate 'sit a nonHomestuck down and try to explain why this objectively pretty song is so emotionally devastating and bittersweet #i could tell you about how many dead children we have to leave behind over the course of this ridiculously long webcomic #but that wont tell you how it felt to see their ghosts wake up #the ones who objectively sucked too thats really what gets me every single time. damn
