We Not You Are Brave

What's This??

this is a little side-blog where im going to be doing lots of rambling about the amazing and wonderful @backagainpodcast i'm just a fan who enjoys this show very much and wants to talk about it

if you don't know what Back Again Back Again (oft shortened to BABA) is, the creator describes it much better but it's a queer fantasy audio drama about a returned prophecy girl, the home she left behind, the way language can be used to control, manipulation of fate and destiny, and a lot of gay people

#rambles will be general stuff

#headcannons will be for well headcannons

#fretim-thoughts will be for thoughts about the fretim specifically and how cool and revolutionary and queer they are

#hotlesbian-lastname will be all the various ships and gay shit i think about

there’s a girl sitting in front of me in lecture with a tattoo of wild blackberries who’s doing embroidery in class…

feels very rhysean..

am i the only one thinking about how the voices ilyaas uses for callia and leander and rhia and everyone are her best impression of her faded memory of them every time she speaks with their voices...

those voices are another thing she lost.. what we get is her best impression of her remembering of a memory of a memory of how they sounded

ghosts of memories of memories of memories

"capitan" said softly

"eligidida" said without venom

saying my name is so intimate why would you do that to me

do yall ever think… were there ever children in the Fretim camp? did leander sing to them… and what did they sing to those children… was it a story of hope? love? did it start with “i do know how this will end”

obsessed with characters who were written for one another. like, what do you mean the reason for my existence is to be by your side? what do you mean our divine purpose is to belong to one another, for better or worse?

shoutout to me for mishearing the lyric from Hozier's new song as "i dont wanna choose between being his husband or his soldier" and immediately thinking of Ilyaas and Cassian

not to be gay but the way callia calls ilyaas her name (FOR THE FIRST TIME) and the way ilyaas responds “yes capitan?”… and post
