For anyone else who is gonna struggle surviving the next 3 weeks with the angsty and tense situation of Callowmoore here's a few things from the last 2 episodes that I feel were underrated and will assist in trying to keep me sane/emotionally stable:
- Matching messed up hands built for holding
- Fearne nervously playing with her hair as she approaches Ashton
- Ashton wanted Fearne to be either the last thing they saw if they died or the first thing they saw when they succeeded
- Fearne's admittance corroborates Ashley's 4SD revelation that Fearne is in love with someone in the party but doesn't know how to process the emotions
- Fearne wanted Ashton to be happy, while Ashton wanted to feel whole so they would be worthy of the Hells
- Ashton twice tried to lead a search for Fearne, and instantly clocking onto Chetney saying he followed Fearne
- Fearne making herself look as radiant as possible before giving Ashton the cold shoulder
- Ashton only rose to Chetney's provocations until he said 'You hurt Fearne'
Use how you will

I like to imagine that on long G.U.N missions Shadow gets so focused that he forgets to take care of himself. So often G.U.N will assign an unlucky intern to bring food to him and try to get him to eat and to sleep in the same like room or place with him and try and convince him to get some sleep.

(mgv) the ducklings succumbing to societal expectations/norms and going to wilson when house is bein silly (medical malpractice) to like try to "control" him sorta. because they never challenged their perception of relationships and "defaulted" to An Alpha Can And Should Keep Their Omega On A Leash. like a fake stupid harmful "hierarchy" of the secondary sexes. and wilson ends up scolding him because for one he's not house's alpha, rude to assume that, and even if he WAS he doesn't like. own him. just because house listens to his Alpha Voice doesn't mean wilson can use it against him, that's fucked up

There's this pull in recovery to feel behind in comparison to your peer group, and that's, of course, a valid feeling. It's understandable, but I think a lot of what we don't remember is that... they often aren't starting out in the same place you are.
I think part of the reason so many feel terrible about "being behind" is that it feels like we have to blame ourselves for being behind. If you just weren't affected by it, you'd be right where your peers are, right? It's a way to blame yourself in severe cases.
Recovery isn't about "catching up," I think. It's about pressing the play button and letting yourself live. You might never "catch up," you might never be at the "same level," but that fundamentally doesn't change that your life is worth living how you want it to.

I just woke up from a nap but didn't Kanata used to take naps on Kaoru when they were in school in the Marine Bio club and they both individually needed to decompress from life? I'm just imaging a Kaoru who can't sleep or doesn't want to sleep gently playing with Kanata's hair, loosely braiding it or wrapping it around his finger while Kanata is softly snoring and leaning into Kaoru's touch.
Or one of the rare times that Kaoru is the one sleeping, Kanata just being there to watch over him and make sure he isn't disturbed because Kanata can tell Kaoru hasn't been sleeping well and wants to give him the time he needs to rest.
Or both of them napping together, either on top of each other or just in the room, separate but basking in the comfort of a familiar and calming presence as the whirring of the fish tanks lulls them to sleep

The longer I think about Tobias & Johan the harder it hits that, shockingly enough, Johan has retained slightly more of his humanity than Tobias ever did. Specifically in regards to their respective connections with other people.
Johan has always held a deep connection to Anna, his twin sister, and has always viewed her as the center of his world. She's even the reason why he killed their parents; she was deemed to be in danger, and so he took it upon himself to rid her of that danger. Then there's Tenma, who Johan grew to care for after Tenma saved his life. Johan does intentionally traumatize Tenma over and over again, but he never kills him no matter how many opportunities there are for him to do so. He even goes out of his way to liken Tenma to a father figure and subconsciously seeks his understanding and approval. And lastly there are Johan's existential questions that stem from his wish for his mother's love, and which shaped the entire course of his life: who did his mother prefer? him or Anna? who was the unwanted child in her eyes? him or Anna? Despite how far gone Johan is, he does have the capacity and tendency to grow fond of some of those who show him genuine care, even if his way of showing it might be in various shades of toxicity.
Tobias has never had a significant connection with anyone as far as he can remember, because he was never allowed to grow into a child with fully-fledged emotions as Johan used to be pre-Kinder.heim 511. Anything beyond anger and the more recently unlocked "amusement" (<-subcategory of happiness) is completely foreign to him. His parents never granted him affection or positive attention, and only reacted remotely positively (read as: by not beating him up) when he was at his most distant and cruelest. He was taught since toddlerhood how to maim and kill others, which further alienated him from normal human beings. As an only child, there was no sibling he could interact with either, and therefore all of his worldly contact was with his parents, their equally sinister friends and the people they were about to kill. He later ended up killing his parents because he saw it unfit for them to live any longer and as a bother to his life as a result of their abusive and oppressive tendencies, and once he left Wammy's House where he viewed everyone as orphans who will die for the orphanage's cause and therefore people he shouldn't grow to care too much if at all for, he returned to his hometown to kill every single person who used to know him back then despite having been long dead in their minds. Tobias was never taught what an authentic human connection is (regardless if familial, platonic or romantic) and so he has nothing to base his views of others on besides how useful they are to him. Whereas Johan loves Anna unconditionally and regularly suffers so she won't have to despite not receiving anything in return, Tobias only ever grows fond of people who can make him feel something positive (<-thus giving him something; re: the spark of light he's missing). He can grow fond of others, but at the end of the day he will never be as permissive with them as Johan is. He'll never grow to truly care for more than one or two people in his life, and even those people won't technically receive unconditional love from him. He can grow to love someone (the well-known bonding sociopaths do to a person over the span of their whole life) but in his case, it's only "unconditional" until they betray him or lose their spark, after which he won't hesitate to abandon or kill them. That said, if he does get to a point where he feels love (or something akin to it) for someone and they never betray him, always remaining the person he was charmed by? He will give them everything their heart desires and more, and he will never act toxic with them.
