#just so she wont be alone for as long

[haunted-xander]

One thing I really love about Marcille is that despite her deep fear of outliving her loved ones, she never, never let's it get in the way of her making bonds and getting close to people. She loves deeply and strongly and she doesn't try to supress that! She embraces it wholeheartedly! Her friends are so important to her and she's not ashamed or scared of it!

Actually, out of all the characters, I'd say Marcille is one of the ones who care the most about bonds of friendship. She's angry at Namari for leaving after Falin got eaten and holds that grudge up until Namari helps defeat the Undine (and therefore having 'proven' herself). She's shocked and upset when Chilchuck explains his policy of payment and that he's not really here bc of friendship. She puts a lot of focus on the party being a Group Of Friends rather than a team of hired hands dedicated to the specific role(s) they are paid for. Which of course makes sense since she joined the party to begin with because of her friend! To her, the party has always been 'Falin and her brothers' friend group' rather than a hired party. (A little reminder: Marcille was the most recent member when the story starts. She never met the previous members who left so the team of Laios, Falin, Chilchuck, Namari and 'Shuro' is what she's always known it as.)

When she becomes dungeon lord, the thing that manages to snap her out of the Winged Lions grasp is the earnest care and love her party is showing her. Literally 'power of friendship'ed their way through the Lions hold and gave her her clarity of mind back.

And!!!! At the end of the feast right before they're about to attempt to revive Falin again, she says!!! this!!!!

She's ready to accept that Falin might not come back, even after everything. The entire story she's been running away from death, from having to outlive her loved ones (in this case: Falin). But here she is, ready to let her stay dead if this last attempt doesn't work.

And it's not giving up. It's realizing that she did all she could, and that it's okay. Because she still got to meet and be friends with Falin. That time with her might be just a speck in the length of life Marcille will have to live still, but it still happened and that's what matters.

It's not about escaping death; it's about cherising the moments before it.

okay but,,, Blake encouraging Yang to take that next step? creating that safe space for her? Yang saying it’s like a cliff and if i do it, i’m just gonna fall, and Blake responding i think we’re already falling. it’s Blake letting Yang say it first, and not even pausing to breathe before saying i love you too. it’s Blake letting Yang take the step but holding her hand out the whole way there, assuring her that she would never let her fall. not alone

Karen has four older brothers and this is Ross! He's the second oldest and he looks rather polite and smiles a lot and when he's at work he can behave most of the time... but he really has such a foul mouth it puts Right to shame.

And Karen when she was a kid couldn't pronounce S's and they sounded like Z's. So when her brothers would be leaving for school she would say "enjoy zool" and just. Could NEVER say Ross's name correctly so he told her to just call him Oz. And it stuck but only with Karen. She's the only one to use it and no one else is allowed.

had the most braindead repetitive conversation/argument with my parents. buzz cuts are too masculine but if you dye a design on it it become effeminate which is bad because then you look weak and if youre weak then society falls apart (all societies ever that have fallen apart for any reason are actually because of feminine men) and we start sacrificing babies. and also all mental illness is invented because only 4 people had anxiety in the 90s and covid was made up so that we would all become gay and trans and then the government can control us better and be joe biden's little sex slaves. and also i need to keep my hair long because my father finds it attractive. what

ok i am actually so very angry and there's literally nothing i can do to fix it. life keeps going on. she might even be happy. and fuck dude, i'll make sure im happy too, i was a fully developed person before she was in my life and i'll continue to be one without her. but God Damn, the fact that she can just do something so blatantly awful and unfair to me and then run off without any actual repercussions is just so fucking rankling to me.

like perhaps she feels guilty. she said she did when it was all going down. but it was just something she "needed to do". so obviously she didn't feel guilty enough or she wouldnt have done it like that lmaoooo

i really did deserve to have a good solid yell at her. but unfortunately, by the time i did see her in person i just wanted her out of my fucking life. so. no yelling was done, unfortunately.

I've been thinking about this for a WHILE now, because I keep trying to find what could be the turning point for buddie, and I'm in the Eddie had his oh moment already train and he just didn't want to bring it up for whatever reason, he didn't want to deal with it and he had stuff to work through and he was scared of messing things up and Buck died and Buck has stuff to work through, so he's just in this limbo space where he knows what he wants but doesn't know he can get it, or maybe he just got comfortable with the way things are and hasn't felt the need to change them yet, but the more I watch this show, the more i feel like Buck's oh moment is not happening without a nudge, because it's becoming painfully clear that Buck has no idea what being in love with someone in a healthy way means. Things with Abby were all sorts of complicated and Abby was never all the way in, Ali was never around enough so they never left the honeymoon phase until it became clear she was against the very thing that makes him who he is and Taylor was a dumpster fire all around with the way they just don't understand each other. And the whole "she sees me for who I am" things comes back to the way Buck hasn't felt seen in a relationship and it's clinging to this idea of what it should look like. I don't think Buck can get to the "oh, this thing I'm feeling is love" conclusion alone. Because he has this idea of what love should be like but he doesn't seem to be able to apply that idea to himself.
