[Atlas Sylvestrus from my HP fic The Sky Upon Shoulders]

1. An event that defines your character's past

Birthday Suit by Cosmo Sheldrake. Weighed down by morning/ In my birthday suit/ Lift up the evening/ Just for a while/ Backwards, upside down, and inside out. I think I'm funny. Boy really did start off in that outfit. Super fitting for him.

2. How your character sees themselves

Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears for Fears. Help me make the/ Most of freedom and of pleasure/ Nothing ever lasts forever/ Everybody wants to rule the world Gets into spoiler territory for my fic, but there's a lot of stuff about duty. It really fits how he sees himself later down the line!

3. How others view them

Southern Nights by Glen Campbell. Feel so good/ Feel so good, it's frightening/ Wish I could/ Stop this world from fighting. From Severus' eyes in particular. The whole song is very much how he sees Atlas and how he feels when he sees him. I wanted to originally choose a song that's more romantic on first view, but I think it is very romantic to Sev.

4. Their closest relationship (platonic or romantic)

Atlas by The Dip. That you got to see it's killin' me the/ way you carryin' on, so/ Don't put the world on your shoulders/ 'Cause you know it ain't your load to bear. Obligatory Atlas song. Right now this is Atlas towards Sev, but over the course of the story it is the constant anthem of them going back and forth with their senses of obligation and duty.

5. A major fight scene

In The Woods Somewhere by Hozier. No big fight scenes have happened yet, and the ones that will occur are more emotional than violent. There's not one lyric that really describes a certain fight, but it has the vibes of the aftermath.

6. End credits song

Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron. There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see/ To the ends of the Earth, would you follow me?/ If you won't I will say my goodbyes to thee. Is it a cop-out to use the end song from Community? It's got such a final feel to it, which works since I don't really have a finale in mind for this fic.

I am completely normal about him!!

tags goes to anyone who's interested! I don't have many mutuals haha

Meet the Artist! It’s me!!

They are all Boomers and don't you forget it

It’s canon that Eugene’s go-to karaoke song is the in-universe version of “Holding Out For A Hero”.

“but they matured!”

Of course they did.

I don’t think people understand that when it comes to the dynamic of an abuser and their victim, the abuser can always move on and change at any time.

All because of one simple reason; they weren’t the ones that had to be on the receiving end of the trauma.

The abusers can move on and live their happy lives without ever having to think twice about their pasts, chalk it up to ‘them being kids and not knowing any better’ while the victim has to live with the burnt of that trauma for the rest of their life.

It’s why the argument that the marauders ‘grew up and matured’ always falls flat to my ears because it always feels as if it’s used as an excuse to blame the victim for not being able to let go of their trauma and ‘get over it’, especially because severus was never shown to have ever had a good support system for him ‘getting over it’ to have ever been a possibility.

Even more-so when it’s shown that the marauders hadn’t changed or matured at all.

Did they ever apologize?

Did they ever try to atone for their actions?

No, they never did. They simply chose to forget about it and move on with their lives. Because it did not affect them.

They grew up, they got married, they enjoyed life, and when they died their sins were wiped clean and they were martyred and worshipped by the entire wizarding world.

It’s no wonder that Severus carried as much bitterness as he did.

I really do love when I get called a fujoshi because, like. Look, it's not a cool thing to call any gay trans guy, but with me in particular, it is REALLY apparent that that's just your catch-all insult for gay trans guys. Really obvious that you were just throwing some spaghetti at the wall and hoping it stuck. You didn't even look at my blog. There's not even real life guys kissing on here. Or anime guys not kissing. I was just talking to my spouse about anime boys I am capable of naming, and here is the full list: Goku, Sasuke, Naruto, etc. That's all of them. Ain't a holier-than-thou thing, either. Just not my scene. And it's also a thing where, like. Let's strip away the porn and romance parts of it. I didn't transition to be a twink. If you did, I am hootin' and hollerin' and crushing beer cans against my forehead, but I'm fat and hairy and covered in tattoos and I often find myself in a hunting supply store staring at the novelty T-shirts and thinking, "That's a solid pun and a beautiful wildlife painting. I can't pass up the opportunity to wear this to a chili cook-off or perhaps to a different hunting supply store." Just the way it worked out for me, you know? I think maybe if you asked the people who know me to rank things they'd be likely to find me doing, they would all put "gnawing on a human corpse buck naked on the side of the road" slightly above "rubbing one out to anime boys kissing". But yeah. I definitely transitioned because I want to pretend that I am Sasuke kissing Goku. That's what I'm up to for sure, you ribbonless county fair hog.
