Just got back from seeing Avril Lavigne live!! This is the first time I’ve ever seen here live before and it was so good!! I will admit I’ve not listened to her new stuff that came out in like 2022 I put on a song or two recently just to see but she’s just come off her greatest hits tour so I figured most of her stuff would be from her older albums which tbh is one of the reasons I booked the tickets in the first place. I should check out local stuff more often like we’re a commuter town to London and we do have a lot of events on but the only concert events I’d heard of before were like this big fake festival and some other things but idk tbf I think it’s one of those things I knew about but didn’t know know about. Like I’d heard of it but never really knew enough about it and didn’t know they got some big names coming here because usually if I want to see a band it’s always either a commute to London or Birmingham if they’re big. But also this was nice because it was held in our local park so it was an outdoor event the only other time I’ve gone to an outdoor one was years ago for fuck I can’t remember the name of the tour but it was for the gorillaz and it was held in an amusement/theme park and was pretty cool. Anyways she played so much of her old stuff and I was actually surprised that I still knew all the lyrics because bare in mind the last time I properly listened to Avril was for Goodbye Lullaby and iirc that was probably around the time I was in uni like I listened to her as a kid and then I”m sure she took a break too like I don’t think I just stopped dead I think she disappeared for a little then came back and then went on that long long break until recently-ish. But yeah I haven’t listened to her first two albums in forever ago like I’m 30 now last I listened to her i was at best in my early 20s. I loved how she did a shout out to all the over 30’s & who had ‘Let Go’ on CD. Now I need to dig out my old stuff idek if any of my old CD’s were kept but now I kinda wish they were. She waited til the end to sing SK8r Boi though I was thinking oh no is she gonna do it or not but she had too like come on lol. Also I’d seen people complaining about her lack of stage presence in her recent tour but I don’t get it because she was full of energy and wasn’t just ‘looking bored’ as some people said. I’d say it was probably mostly older people or families with kids who turned up but could have just been where I was sitting might’ve been more younger people in the purely standing area. But it was kinda cool to see a lot more older people there cos I wasn’t sure what the mix would be but on the way back I could swear I heard these younger girls shit talking Avril for playing complicated and her older stuff like bitch please get out of here if you don’t like anything that pre dates goodby lullaby what are you even here for lmao. Sorry but like really not sorry lol Definitely gave me so much nostalgia right now & I think it shows just how much I loved her growing up that I still remembered the lyrics to a lot of the older stuff not all of it but a decent amount for something I’d not heard in 10+ years.

Idk about you guys but I am an absolute sucker for stoic, strong, providing/protective, "macho-macho" male characters absolutely just breaking down when the going gets a bit too tough. Willing to shoulder any burden or battle scars if it means granting their loved ones' safety, but cracking when it gets too much, getting disheveled when things go wrong, when things are out of their control, when they've lost so much that they cannot hold it in anymore. They cannot continue being strong, at least just for now when they just need to decompress.

With that said, Arthur Morgan absolutely deserved to have a good cry. I'm upset he hasn't in the game, at least from what we have seen. Despite how strong and hardened this 36-year-old seasoned outlaw is, he is still a man - a good man at heart (at least in my canon as a High Honour truther).

There is no way he couldn’t have cried on the ship after watching his own father and mentee/lowkey-son-figure die right before his eyes. There is no way he couldn’t have cried when he failed his chance of running away with the love of his life whilst he still had the chance, and having to come to terms with the fact that the last memory she will hold of him will be him making another promise he couldn't keep + that the last piece of her he has left is her essentially writing him out of her life with no time or opportunity to explain. There is no way he couldn’t have cried when the fear of death/the fate that awaited him and his loved ones got too overwhelming for him. There is no way he couldn’t have cried when he started seeing both life and death differently after Sister Calderón's inspiring words in that train station.

He deserved to have a good cry. Arthur, a man living in the American 1890s where there was a certain expectation for men (outlaw or otherwise) to surpress any 'weak' emotion, finally admitting "I'm afraid" was one of the 'manliest' and most human moments we ever see him have, and it was so simple yet so beautiful. The man has been through so much pain as much as he has inflicted it - he deserves a hearty moment of release. To cry, to sob, to wail, whatever. He just needed that after everything.

Yea ok but if that really is the Summer Maiden behind them and she’s just a kid and they put these two in charge of training and guiding her

The mother who abandoned her own child and killed the prior Spring Maiden both out of fear and the sibling who was loyal to the wrong person until it was almost too late and was unable to save her baby sister… I’m sure they’re coping fine with that responsibility
