#the gifset just hit me

[mrsquill]

Rewatching the ‘it’s okay, baby girl’ scene… The way Ellie just dives into Joel in her shock and relief. Wordlessly clinging to him. The realisation for Joel that he hasn’t hugged a frame this small for twenty years; the last time he did so, he lost his daughter. ‘I got you’ with his eyes closed, knowing he’d slaughter a thousand men just to hold her, and he’d murder a million more after finding out why her eyes are so wild and desperate. The way he looks Ellie up and down a second later; checking her over, just so relieved she’s here and alive despite being covered in blood, the same way he lost Sarah. His fatherly instinct; wrapping her up in a jacket and hustling her to safety, despite literally being propped up on adrenaline and two shots of penicillin. A father’s love for his daughter.

oh my god sometimes i remember and it just hits me all over again like castiel literally told dean he was in love with him. like he literally told dean to his face that he wanted him even though he thought he couldn’t have him. we didn’t even make that up it actually happened on our tv screens.

In ep45, Ludinus says, "I think I will be eternally grateful for what she's done" about Liliana. For me, personally, that gives some "I'm going to dispose of her the second I don't need her" vibes, and can you imagine?!? Liliana thinking that she's preventing him from acting his worst only to get stabbed in the back?? Dedicating so much of her life to his goals only to realize how disposable she really is?? Regardless of whether he succeeds, that would be a GREAT plot-twist.

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:

SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.

BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.

and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.

and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.

does it ever hurt you that zack's parting words to cloud were "you've gotta live for the both us", sonon's parting words to yuffie were "you gotta keep going for us" and dyne's last words to barret were "you carry that guilt, that weight " and yuffie, cloud, and barret let out the most pained scream after they pass?

No thoughts, head empty, only the haunting mental image of Eddie Munson waking up in the Upside Down, all alone and bloody and left behind (and maybe even turned into a vampire if we're going with the Kas the Bloodyhanded theory) and having to survive the Upside Down on his own. So it's just him lying on top of the roof of his trailer, guitar in hands, a small but attentive crowd of demobats sitting around him, playing Solitude by Black Sabbath

thinking about buffy kissing spike as a thank you in intervention... just insane behavior like he was still soulless at the time even though he was chipped and like yeah he kept the dawn/key secret despite being tortured by glory for hours but like she went there pretending to be the buffybot so she could suss out what he revealed to glory she could have dropped the bot facade as soon as she knew he hadn’t told glory about dawn but instead she decided you know what  he’s been a good boy i’ll kiss him as a treat then walked away as he realized it was the real buffy not the buffybot meaning he now knew the real buffy had kissed him and she told him what he did for her and dawn was real and she wouldn’t forget about it. like she could have pretended it was the buffybot the whole time and idk kiss him under the guise of being the buffybot as to not arouse suspicion or she could have dropped the facade of being the buffybot once she knew what she needed to know and NOT kiss him and just walk away. like she didn’t PLAN to go there and kiss him as a thank you she just felt like doing it in the moment and then told him she wouldn’t forget what he did for them, for her. INSANE BEHAVIOR! BUFFY HE’S A VAMPIRE WITHOUT A SOUL REMEMBER
