I was reading a review of Look Back (the movie) and I thought this passage really explains the core of the story and why it sticks with you:
Here it is, the first instalment of my biggest project yet!
If you are the best part of me is a 4k word fic exploring the Miya twins dynamic and addressing the struggles that come with constantly being compared to someone. (more yapping plus bigger images below)
This fic is fairly stand alone so I feel comfortable posting it on its own. Parts two and three are both significantly longer so we will see how I go with posting them, but for now, I hope you enjoy this starting point!
A lot of the time I've seen Atsumu-centric fics and oh my god, they are good. A lot of them are really good. Especially when the relationship between the Miya Twins is explored. But so many times I feel like I want to know more about Osamu too because he's a Miya Twin too. Anyone got any fic recs with that? Even if it's ship it's okay but I'd prefer if it were focused on the twins.
There are these two really really good fics that I read from Osamu's POV: where do you see yourself in a hundred years? by onewhodiedyoung https://archiveofourown.org/works/42245820 and when there's nothing left to burn, you have to set your brother on fire by pepperfield https://archiveofourown.org/works/24575503
"guys we're so cooked" "it's wraps" "the end is near" shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up. i say that with love because you are probably saying it out of distress and hopelessness, but for your own well-being and for everyone else's, please stop saying this shit.
no we are not "cooked." and by saying that, by the way, you are giving more power to the neo-nazi oligarchy in charge.
they want you to abandon all hope of a better life. they want you to believe "oh well, it's over, we might as well stop trying to fight back and just resign ourselves to despair forever."
every time you get on tiktok and comment "guys we're so cooked haha it's over," you are feeding into the mindset of hopeless compliance. you are, unknowingly, spreading this infectious idea that just because we've lost one battle, we've lost the entire war.
your words matter. i am saying this out of love and concern for our future, but please stop choosing words of defeat.
