#‘the bad didn’t grieve’

[skotiwolves]

Y’all are aware that Omega was gone for six months and their priority was her, right? Or before that when Wrecker nearly started crying, Hunter had to give the news to Omega, and Omega pleaded for them to go back because she thought they could still find him?

What about before Barton IV? When they were all gathered around the table and his name was mentioned and everyone fell silent and hung their heads? Even Crosshair?

If the creators didn’t want to keep his memory alive, they would’ve never mentioned his name again. They wouldn’t have kept his goggles in the show. They wouldn’t have shown very Tech qualities in Omega’s personality.

Instead, he’s seen in their decisions. He was felt in every scene when the Marauder was flown. He’s felt in every scene that involves tech, to any degree (because I know everyone has had a ‘tech could solve this’ moment while watching)

The characters don’t have to cry, hit a wall, and shout to the heavens in some big scene to show their grief. We’ve seen it already, and I think it suffices.

These characters are cloned soldiers who were created for war—nothing else. I think that’s forgotten quite often. Their mindset is different than your regular Joe. How they approach situations is different. How they grieve is going to be different.

They lost Tech, and almost immediately lost Omega. Their priority was finding any leads that could pinpoint them to Tantiss/Omega. Taking jobs, spending resources, and losing sleep until she was brought home. We have no idea what those six months held. We have no idea what Hunter and Wrecker went through without them there. Tech could’ve found her easily, and they know that. His goggles were sat on the shelf, and they probably felt his presence every single day

Omega wanted to preserve his goggles in that room on Pabu for a reason. He is still a part of their team. He’s still a part of their hearts and someone that the people of Pabu knew and appreciated. His character hasn’t been neglected, and the team hasn’t forgotten about him.

‘Death’

Angst idea. So something happens that causes Danny Fenton to be ‘fatally injured’. Like shot through the head, cut in half, spine ripped out, impaled kind of injured. Maybe attempting to save the day after being forced out of Phantom form. So as a Halfa, as long as his core remains undamaged, Danny can eventually heal from basically anything. (Yes it will hurt, but he’ll have Deadpool level of regeneration. Just a bit slower and more subtle.) So Danny won’t die. That’s how he’s survived his battles at Phantom (because some of those get violent. The problem? Danny Fenton’s ‘death’ was very public and he hasn’t told anyone he’s Phantom yet (besides Jazz, Tucker, and Sam.) He’s scared of revealing it to his parents because he still doesn’t know how they will react and worries it might even seem worse. Like that ‘Phantom’ was impersonating their dead son or something. So he has no choice but to let the world, his parents, his school, and his former bullies believe he’s dead.

the fandom’s twisted takes on jack drake and tim kind of make me sad because i feel like its canon state is the most realistic, relatable, and ‘heartwrenching in its own way’ form of a parent-child relationship. jack loves tim, but fails to communicate that properly. he doesn’t understand tim. the lack of dialogue between two people who love each other, but physically can’t express it, especially from the parental side, is a pain that is so valid and one that i’m sure many people can understand.

making jack abusive also takes away so much of tim’s canon grief and devastation. tim loved his father! he gave up robin for him! in their very last moments, he was crying and telling his father how much he loved him and to just hold on a little longer. and then the utter tragedy of arriving just seconds late to the sight of his father’s corpse.

and the added context that jack drake wasn’t even murdered intentionally, it was a freak accident part of a larger scheme that didn’t even involve tim at all. can you imagine tim’s anger?? the bitterness???

anyways… i think the story of losing one’s parent and spending forever thinking about all the unsaid words, regretting what you did say, being angry at the circumstances, wishing for anything to bring them back, holds so much weight on its own and it really doesn’t need unnecessary non-canon details of jack being abusive or cruel when that wasn’t the case. you don’t need to vilify everyone. i know he was FAR from perfect but he did love tim, and tim loved him back and he will likely grieve for him forever.

This week I finally found the Obi-Wan-on-Tatooine characterization I always wanted (in John Jackson Miller’s Kenobi). ❤️🥹❤️

thinkin about phoebe and grief… we said we weren't going to do this. do what? make any major changes in our lives. all the books caution against it. after you've suffered a major loss, do not sell the house, do not get married, do not quit your job. / you don't clean. you hate cleaning. i know, but it's better than falling apart, isn't it? / i was just… i was trying to stay strong, you know, keep it together for you, and then i put all my energy into trying to save paige because i figured only one of us could break down at a time. otherwise, we'd both be useless. how she almost emulates prue after her passing, taking on a leadership role, a perfectionist role, a save the day be the strongest witch role. how psychology major phoebe read a bunch of books on how to cope with grief, with loss, because if she studies it enough, she can outlogic her emotions. she won’t be useless. she won’t be everything she feared prue viewed her as, impulsive, emotional, baseless, unreliable. she’ll be the sister she wants prue to see.

although the universe has not been kind to me this year, my god, my friends sure have. I am so goddamn grateful for the extended community I’ve built for myself over the years. makes me feel like the most fortunate person alive even when everything else is completely falling apart

[trips2saturn]

Lately I feel like I’m grieving the realization that I’m a lesbian even though I’m transmasc and those identities aren’t totally compatible. Like, I didn’t feel like I was myself in a lot of ways before T and now that I feel more centered in my body, I‘ve been looking back on my life and all the attraction to women and trying to make sense of it. There are some things that I miss about being a “woman,” but mostly I just miss the ability to have a relationship with a woman as a woman and have it be queer. I spent a very long time ashamed of that aspect of myself and not allowing myself to experience it, and now I don’t think I can. I can never go back to who I was and live myself differently.

my real favourite character is Nidhogg, I’m only obsessed with Estinien bc he’s a hangers-on /jokes

Last night before going to bed I had three important thoughts that made me think I should jot them down. But then I thought no, how could I forget these. I won’t.

Picture me, the next day, unable to remember the even the general topic of the thoughts.

[dexbian-archived]

i honestly really relate to dexter during this funeral scene, like not being able to really empathize with them while they’re grieving, having a hard time to feel bad about who ever died, or just. grieving in general. i don’t know i just relate to him

[godblooded]

every single minute i feel like a pressure valve that’s winding up too tightly and any minute it’ll just pop.
