#now I’m sad ):

[briefhottubcoffee]

I think Twilight/Loid Forger (or whatever his birth name is) is a huge romantic. I think he truly believes in love, true undying love, soul mates, family, permanence, etc. he’s just convinced himself that he isn’t capable of love or doesn’t need love because, sadly, he believes he doesn’t deserve all those things. He can’t be happy, he can’t be at peace. He has to work endlessly to save the world. He’s punishing himself by denying himself true love, happiness, and permanence (he really, really wants these things)

So what’s happening in the story is, he finds Anya and feels himself loving her and being her father, and he loves it, he loves being her dad. But he can’t have a daughter, he needs to create world peace. So he pushes back and fights against all these happy feelings.

And with Yor it’s even worse. He could be falling in love with her, true love, and he’s blown off his feet. I don’t think he’s ignorant or oblivious to what he’s feeling for her at all. Like we laugh at him and make fun of him because he’s an obtuse, oblivious spyman. But he’s actually well aware that it’s love, but he’s denying himself. Because he believes being in love with his wife, and raising a daughter with her, and being happy together forever is the most wonderful, precious thing in the world. And it’s not something he is allowed to have.

(I think if anyone is confused and oblivious about what they’re feeling and what it means, it’s actually Yor. Her feelings are more obvious to us, the audience, because she’s allowing herself to feel openly. But she is just now coming to understand that she’s falling in love.)

Like, Twilight secretly loves romantic movies and books and stuff but all along he’s thinking “Oh I’ll never feel this ‘true love’ thing they’re talking about, ima SPY.” But then he meets Yor and it’s an immediate kick in the gut, fly off a cliff, swooning music when she walks in the room, I finally belong somewhere feeling. And in the story right now we’re seeing him go through the “Oh fuck no there’s no way this can’t be happening I can’t love her I’m supposed to love spying and the shadows and being alone forever”

I mean come on, this guy right here loves romance. He loves dates with his wife. He loves love. He is trying to create a world where children don’t cry and the world is at peace and everyone is happy and in love. Except himself. He’s the sacrifice.

This right here is Twilight indulging himself. Feeling that true love feeling and relishing in it, like soaking in the sun. But then he takes two giant steps back and distances himself from her, and shuts himself off from his family. They all suffer because of it. It’s like he’s torturing himself and unknowingly hurting her in the process.

I think what needs to happen in the story eventually is his acceptance. He’s in love with her, he loves his daughter. He’s allowed to keep them and openly love them forever. He deserves it.

Caroline Kennedy plays in the pool with uncle Robert Kennedy and her cousins, June 1964.

"John Kennedy's daughter has eagerly joined Bob's family. 'She's my pal,' he says fondly. But there is a special feeling for Caroline who, at 6, understands the tragedy of her father's death as her brother John does not."

“‘Anything that comes up involving a father, like Father’s Day at school, I always mention Bobby’s name. Caroline shows him her report cards.’ says Jackie.” - LIFE Magazine, 1964.

you know sometimes I will be having a good day and then my brain will play the audio of fives screaming while echo blows up and suddenly it is not a good day

Not thinking about how MCU Peter Parker watched Tony Stark die.

Not thinking about how Peter could see Tony Stark alive again in the body of this Doctor Doom, who shifts into Peter’s universe from one of the Multiverse Earths.

Not thinking about how devastated Peter will be when he sees Tony Stark again. But not his Tony Stark.

I just realized that when we get season 2 of dead boy detectives, Monty, Jenny, Esther, and the Cat King probably won’t be in it

I really hope I’m wrong, but The Umbrella Academy and Star Trek: Picard both ignored all the season 1 side characters and now I can’t trust anyone

Great, now I’m SAD!

No matter how many times I rewatch atla, I always watch it with the hope that zutara is endgame and just end up being sad because it’s not

Grief is weird

[aalyre]

you take the man (remus lupin) out of the city (how perfect it felt to be with the marauders and how heart-wrenching it was to lose them) not the city out the man. and when i’m back in chicago (going back to teach at hogwarts) i feel it

[locklyle1kanij]

The urge to make a locklyle edit to this is is so huge but i don’t think i will live up to my mind plans for it

[climbdraws]

Oh

[frog-0n-a-l0g]

Aggro is trying to rip my dangly earring out

So I was thinking abt Ballister going straight for the throat in their training fights when he was younger and accidentally on purpose hurting a bunch of kids. The only way he knows how to fight is with his life at stake but that’s not conducive for a classroom setting. And then this happened

*the director brings young Bal to the queen to knock some sense into him bc she is at her wits end w this child*

Ballister: I hit Todd Sureblade today

Queen Valerin: you hit him??

Ballister: after I bit him

Queen Valerin: you BIT him. Ughh, Ballister, you know you can’t-

Ballister: people treat me different

Queen Valerin:

Queen Valerin: they just don’t know what to say

And now I’m crying

[byler-twitter-escapee]

I’m really sad today because I never realised that Dustin and Joyce hugged in the goodbye scene in s3 and now i want to cry for half an hour

Are you planning on releasing part 10 of owl song exactly on April 27th? Because if so, I will actually cry.

Huh, that’s… actually a pretty neat idea honestly.

I mean to be fair we still have about— three parts coming, with the fourth being the disaster one, so depending on how kind writer’s block is treating me it’s entirely possible that we’ll be seeing a ver nice parallel happening there 😌✨
