the problem of finding the love of your life is that you may not be the love of his life.

oh, sure, he may tell you otherwise, marry you young and dote on your only child, a girl, but blooms wither and marriages wilt.

and now he's left you, left you, and your heart -

it cannot recover.

so you don't recover.

you ban music from your life instead, throw everything into providing for your daughter.

you don't think about him.

he's clearly forgotten all about you.

but.

then it turns out you never had the full story.

a lifetime later, you tell his murderer he is the love of your life.

still true, no matter how often you wished it was not.

and maybe.

maybe, you're the love of his life, too.

I want to write Imelda Rivera grieving

never give up hope that a fic can be updated after 2 years

[mirrorofliterature]

fandoms when a woman of colour has a realistic reaction to a traumatic experience: and that's why she's evil!

[mirrorofliterature]

imelda rivera did nothing wrong, ever*

YOU have your husband mysteriously leave you, leaving you with your three-year-old daughter alone, to the scorn of your community, his songs everywhere sung by his best friend, and scrape and fight to provide for your daughter, and not lash out of trauma and be stubborn and make bad decisions. oh you would have gone to therapy in 1921 and not banned music out of heartbreak? and gotten over it? please be serious!

*this is hyperbole, btw. her ultimatum with miguel was wrong, but understandable, and provides something for her to develop and learn from, giving her an iconic character arc in the movie.

I'll Change

Remember Me

Voting ended onJun 28

I’ll Change (Indigo Girls)

My calendar lies crumpled, laid to waste/It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed/Will this be the measure of my days/Dinners and appointments and deadlines I can't make?/When I start to feel it making sense for me/That's just hope springing eternally/One day I'll change/You'll be the first one that I call I owe you an apology/Too many thanks and that's not all/'Cause I've been running long before I learned to crawl

“This song encapsulates a lot of feelings for me. Feeling like my life it pointless and far too easy to wreck, feeling like a constant fuckup, swearing and wanting to get better, gifted kid syndrome. There’s a lot. Just. The verse I sent in really sums it up. Is this, my work and my fuckups, all I am? Deadlines I can’t make no matter how much I want to, no matter how much I’m trying, I swear. Sometimes it starts to feel like it makes sense but then another wave comes and I’m struggling for air again, and I know it’ll happen, but I can’t help but hope. And the chorus also hurts in all the right ways. One day, eventually, I’ll change, I’ll get better, and I’ll finally be able to reach out to you without shame. I owe you so much I can’t say it all. It’s depressing, but it reminds me too much of my relationship with my parents. I’m always struggling and they want to help me but I feel like I can’t let them until I’m already better. The feeling of swearing that this time it’ll be different and not being believed. (It wouldn’t be a tumblr fuck you up song without some parents issues.) I’ve been running long before I learned to crawl. This line is the one that hits me right in the gifted kid. It didn’t matter how advanced my reading was or how far ahead in math I was, no matter how far ahead I ran, I missed all the skills I needed first. How to actually study, how to cope with perfectionism, how to talk to people. I’ve been running for so long and it still feels like I haven’t learned to crawl.”

Remember Me (Coco)

Remember me, though I have to day goodbye/Remember me, don't let it make you cry/For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart/I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart/Remember me though I have to travel far/Remember me each time you hear a sad guitar/Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be/Until you're in my arms again, remember me

“the emotional climax of the movie for so many reasons.”
