Thinking About How In Wymack's Pov Of The Moment That He Tells Neil About Yakusa He Says That He Was

jean moreau is nineteen. he is nineteen. he is just a boy he is hardly alive!! imagine you’re an exy coach for USC and this nineteen year old boy hands you his racket and practically asks you to beat him with it. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you’ve been waterboarded ten times and made to break three of your own fingers and tortured so extensively for the past five years of your life that you’re begging others to let you die. imagine you’re kevin day and you have to make this nineteen year old boy promise that he won’t kill himself. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you’ve just learned your sister is dead and you’ve destroyed and betrayed yourself and it was all for nothing. imagine you’re a nineteen year old boy and you kill yourself in every universe but this one.

'STAYING STRANGERS' REMUS LUPIN IS SO ME, I CAN'T--

I'll never recover from TCOPTP, thinking about this masterpiece 24/7

I completely agree. I've seen many people say that aftg's writing is bad, but I really don't see why

There are super deep characters with soooo much to find out about, with so many quotes that are full of meaning and sometimes we barely notice it, but its there anyway

Besides the fact of how, even being a third person narrative, its almost like neil was writing the books himself. you can CLEARLY see his personality in every line. "oh but there are stuff about the protagonist's life that we don't even know until the other characters find out" so???? you can't tell me that that's not the biggest neil josten thing to do. come on the guy lied so much that he was almost believing in his own lies, HE'S NOT A TRUSTABLE PROTAGONIST, THAT'S THE FUN PART, LET HIM BE.

"oh but there are so many characters and the narrator still only talks about his past, andrew, kevin and exy" again. three words. neil fucking josten. he was running away from his serial killer father, he had to do his best not to get attached to everyone and everything because if something happened he was ready to run away right in that second

And the point only proves itself when we get to TSC and in one book Jean talks about a thousand different people all the time

Don't FUCKING argue with me. "Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. He didn't want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother." Is a fucking dynamite intro!! Is it edgy as fuck? Yeah. So? Is it hella melodramatic? Probably. So? Is it bad writing? Motherfucking NO! It's damn near expert level execution of several writing principles!

Who is the story about? First two words, next question.

Catch the reader's attention as soon as possible? "Why the fuck is he wasting a cigarette?" Intrigue successfully demanded, next question.

Raise questions that will keep the reader hanging long enough to have answered? "Why the fuck does acrid smoke trigger his mommy issues?" + "Wait it's because he burned her corpse??" Many many more questions raised + blind sided reader via preconceived expectations being subverted, next question.

Character establishing moment? What other characters use for physical and emotional regulation, he uses to fucking reminisce and wallow in his feelings, next question.

Set the tone for the rest of the story? Edgy, melodramatic, and emotionally gut wrenching, NEXT. FUCKING. QUESTION!

The Muses asked Nora to roll for Hook and she rolled a nat 20 five times in a row in 30 words or less. Hook, Line, and motherfucking Sinker bitches

Some of y'all need to stop ragging on AFTG's writing and start using it as a fucking case study cus this shit has the addiction capacity of heroine and god help the goddamn saltine cracker throwing stones

I was listening to Conan Gray and OH MY GOD 'THE KING' IS WOLFSTAR CODED, HOW DID I NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE, LIKE (????????????????

How can I lose my sleep over a couple with only 274 *completed* fics in ao3, in which most of this fics they aren't even the main couple of the story???????

can we change that??? please??

do you think that Regulus ever looked at James and couldn’t understand how Sirius could love a stranger like a brother and not him?

and do you think Sirius ever looked at James and wondered why he was so easy for Regulus love, why Regulus would risk it all for James but couldn’t do it for him?

adam parrish being just a little villain-coded is so fun to me. it never stops tickling me that the set-up WAS THERE for him to betray gansey in a worse version of the story — he was the rejected member of the love triangle, he was bitter about gansey's privilege, he's methodically ambitious about getting his in a dog-eat-dog world. in TRB, when he stole the camaro, ran off and killed whelk, that COULD'VE been the beginning of a villain arc.

but he loves his friends too much to let them go, and his friends love him too much to let him go. so he's their fucked-in-the-head sly friend who blackmails people with made-up child murder and scams rich harvard students with fake readings and pathologically lies like he breathes <3 something so wrong with him but he's a good guy <3

*slams fist on the table aggressively* i would DIE for wolfstar —

(forgive me, english is not my first language)

Inspired by a ttk trend

Remus: What is it?

Sirius: Oh, just lip gloss. Stole it from Mary.

Remus: What does it taste like?

Sirius: Just basic strawberry flavour. Wanna try it?

Remus: ...Sure.

* Sirius hands him the lipgloss *

Remus: Not like that.
