Bishop Raphaniel Charlock really just rocketed up my faves list, I was expecting this because who am I but a person who loves a seemingly pious person with a web of lies and a lot of tricks up their sleeve, but I'm LAUGHING, this absolute bastard of a radish

Not to makes everything about Hadestown, but I can't stop thinking of episode 7 Charles & Edwin as Orpheus & Eurydice.

I just thought of Eurydice asking Hermes why she should marry Orpheus in 'come home with me', and they say

"Maybe because he'll make you feel alive."

And she answers

"Alive? That's worth a lot."

Charles and Edwin, who met after death, after both lived very lonely lives and/or lonely years in Hell [I was alone so long, I didn't even know that I was lonely, anyone?] and they found eachother and created meaning. They created their own afterlife, found friends, found a home, being more alive than they were when they were living

The way they’re like growing old together...

two cups of coffee. trying to work on a wip.

but all i can think about are those damn holos.

the training. the reassurance. the pep talks.

what gets me is this isn't just anakin - it has their lineage (and obi-wan) written all over it.

does anakin do it because he needed this from obi-wan after he was knighted? because his master was only a comm away and he learned how important it was to hear those words of reassurance late at night when the fears and demons are whispering that you're not enough, won't be enough, that it's up to you to end this war but you don't know how you're going to do that when you can't even save one person let alone the galaxy?

is it because he saw how much obi-wan needed to turn to qui-gon, who wasn't there? how he fell back on his words and teachings to guide him through raising this padawan when he had only just been a padawan himself, had never done this alone? is it that anakin saw how much those words were needed - how obi-wan had so little left of his master once he was gone, just like he had nothing from his mother (and what he wouldn't give to hear her voice again) and so he decides to give ahsoka that piece of him to remember and guide her once he's gone?

did obi-wan make these for anakin ?????????

(maybe when he went away on solo missions when anakin was little and left behind at the temple for training? maybe he left messages after long campaigns during the war, just as a reminder that anakin wasn't alone in this? because he knew what it was like to need the connection, the reassurance, the guidance?)

and like...maybe this is just because i'm an old, or maybe because i was exceptionally queer, but: have you ever taken out a camcorder and made a video for someone because you missed them so much and just needed to tell them all of the important things on your mind, even if it was awkward and ridiculous because they weren't there and weren't even going to see it any time soon, but you sat there talking to yourself because you had to say the words, to know that they will hear them? and then put that on the silly little tape to hand off to them to watch another time. have you ever received one in return like it was a precious little treasure and put in the tape and watched, wrapped up in the intimacy of this moment that was created days or weeks or months before, but was made just for you? and you had this physical proof of this moment, that you could keep in a box of your secrets, and look back on when you needed it?

have you? have you? HAVE YOU?

Bo Burnham's art opened my mind, touched my heart and lit my soul on fire.

He's an insanely beautiful person, I hope he's happy wherever he is, whatever he's doing...

And I really fucking miss him.

sometimes I think diffusing a bomb would be less stressful than trying to plan something with my family

Even without accounting for the AWOL of it all, I think its pretty clear Michael never asked Alex to stay, so I really don't get all the blame heaped on him for not staying. Alex made a life for himself outside of the town that treated him badly, he had a career where he was respected and escaped his abusive home. Was he just supposed to give all that up for someone who couldn't even say goodbye the day he left and who never once changed in ten years?? Michael started his "walking bar fight" phase while Alex was still around, what reason would Alex have to think Michael would suddenly stop if he decided to give everything up and stay in Roswell?? I just really don't get the expectation that Alex was supposed to be the one to upend his entire life to be with someone who never once gave any indication he'd be willing to do the same if he stayed.

I can't even count the number of arguments I've had on this front. The fact that Alex was punished over and over for not staying, but honestly? Why would he? I love Michael, but he was not without his flaws.

I know that if I loved someone who had been beaten the way Michael had when we were first found together, and then he mocked me every time I was afraid of my own abuser for years after, I wouldn't feel safe with him. I understand Michael felt abandoned, I really do, but does that change the fact that he never once asked Alex to stay? Does it change the fact that he never showed so much as an ounce of sympathy towards Alex's feelings concerning his father? Or a sense of compassion for the fact that Alex lived under a man who watched him like a hawk and judged him on every move?

Forgetting that this wasn't Alex's foster father, it wasn't someone who he knew wasn't family. This was Alex's actual dad, and he was punished for wanting his own dad to love him? For being unable to help but earn his approval? I get how Alex leaving hurt, but I also struggle to understand why he should've stayed in the first place. Did Michael ever once show him that he was a safe space for Alex to escape to if he ever did manage to get away from his dad? His options stayed either his father, the only connection to his mother and his family and the only home he'd ever known, and a cowboy who scoffs at him when he's afraid and acts like he really couldn't care less when he leaves.

Before anyone comes at me either, answer me this;

Did Michael ever so much as say the word, wait?

Did Michael ever say the words, That must've been tough?

Did Michael ever say, I want to know you?

Did Michael ever ask Alex why he keeps leaving?

Did Michael ever tell Alex it was okay?

Did Michael ever tell him he could keep him safe?

Did Michael ever tell him he loved him?

Did Michael ever tell him he liked him?

I rest my case.

I have now started packing a THIRD pencil case and makeup bag because I have 3 things upcoming so close together (that require slightly different stationary / makeup needs) that I don't know if I will have the time / energy to unpack-repack between them.

By "so close together" I mean in the next 10 days I have two 3-day things and one 1-day thing.

At least I have tomorrow to prep as well (working from home) and only one of them I can't return home between the days of so don't need to also pack clothes and stuff.

It's nothing any of us clowns didn't already know before.... but y'all this fucking scene hits so much different now knowing for sure (like it's literally canon) that she was in love with him here.

This isn't Olivia Benson mourning the last of a partner she had for the better part of a decade (it was never just that anyway). This is Olivia Benson mourning the loss of her home.
