this is. unfathomable. i’m shell shocked.

i’m hugging all of you so strongly right now. no matter what was going on, liam was such a big part of my teenage years and even twenties. he was such a big part of that band. he had such a big heart. there’s so many feelings i cant even put into words just racing through my head right now. my heart hurts for his family, his friends, the boys god the boys.

we all kinda grew up together with them and to see something like this is ungodly to even comprehend. this is such a dark fucking day. i don’t even know what to say. i never ever ever wanted to ever hear this news and to see it like this on a fucking instagram canva post from ABC news. i’m nauseous.

I think about Leo’s “I’m your least favorite” comment to Splinter in “Down with the Sickness” a lot. It’s likely just a throwaway comment, a way to get Splinter to leave him alone before Leo gets sick too, but I can’t help but wonder if Leo believes it on some level.

Obviously it’s not true, Splinter loves him as much as he loves the others, but…it wouldn’t be shocking if Leo believed otherwise. After all, just in “Many Unhappy Returns” alone, Splinter has, with no hesitation, said comments like “my other sons would have taken this seriously” and “I knew I should’ve brought purple”, said “no” to Leo’s “I love you”, and pretty blatantly didn’t extend any trust in Leo’s plan even after Leo was fairly effortlessly defeating their opponents.

It was only after, when they’d already won, that Splinter finally gives him a “it was all you my son!” And…that’s basically it. Raph is the one who announces his trust in Leo. Not their father, even though Splinter is the one to witness Leo lowering his walls for once (which Splinter doesn’t react well too, because Leo only lowers his walls in the most hectic of times, and because he lowers them only then, either no one is around or no one is in the right state of mind to respond properly, leading to Leo building his walls back up, and the cycle continues.)

Again, it’s not because Splinter doesn’t love Leo, but Leo…can’t be feeling too good about all that. The way he never reacted surprised about any of Splinter’s words too…

He may know that Splinter loves them all, as a group, but individually…I don’t think Leo believes he ranks all that high with that love. Gives another meaning to “I’m nothing without my brothers” huh?

(Of course, I’m willing to bet the invasion changed that understanding, but with that comes the potential misunderstanding that his father’s outright love is tied to Leo sacrificing himself.)

The tought that the teachers know absolutely nothing abt the world outside their lessons it's just so funny to me

I am so incredibly stunned and honored to see that Sleuth Jesters won both angstiest fic and most dramatic fic!!! I can't express how much this means to me. I'm completely floored and overwhelmed in the best way possible, and I cherish each and every one of you who has read my works. Thank you. Your support inspires me so much. I wish I could do something grand as a big thank you, but I hope that the little SJ MerMay one-shot I'm working on will suffice!

Until next time. ♥

I'm gonna be shitting and screaming and starting fights if Sera becomes a villain. I can't take sibling angst, Sera loves Emily I swear guys believe meeee.

they have such a complex relationship

[dontgofarfromme]

I do think the character beats/foreshadowing for the twins in ep3 work especially well if you take s1 into account. A lot of Vex's arc in s1 was spent establishing her as being compulsively self-reliant and hostile to outsiders, eg stating that she and Vax should leave when they were under house arrest in the keep and lashing out at Keyleth when she saw Vax getting invested in that relationship. It makes it really clear that 1. Vex highly prioritizes her and Vax's relationship but also that 2. Like much of her actual feelings, she doesn't show her fear that she will lose that relationship in the most straightforward way. This allows for s2 to dive headlong into exploring how terrified Vax is of losing Vex and how much he believes their relationship is this one-sided dependence of him feeling lost without her but Vex being completely alright without him, while providing us the baseline understanding that this isn't quite the case. It's more that their personalities are extremely different and they've responded to the way they were treated when they were young in very different ways. Vax wears his heart on his sleeve and is completely open about who he cares about, cutting Syldor out without a second thought and explicitly laying out to Vex over and over again how important she is to him. Vex puts a perfectly strong and composed face over everything, tries to salvage things when she can, holds herself together so nobody can see whatever she's feeling underneath. It's easy to think Vex doesn't need Vax as much as he needs her with that facade, but because we already got to see an entire season of her reflexively protecting that relationship and lashing out in fear that she'll somehow lose him, you can tell it's actually more that she's practiced at masking any feelings that might make her seem weak, even at the expense of coming off as cruel or uncaring instead.

His. Eyes.

They've seen so much pain, suffering, loss, loneliness... I just want to kiss him and tell him that he's a good father even if his children can't see that. They cannot understand what he has endured, and he doesn't want them to. I want to tell him that I understand him, I understand why he made the decision he did and that it's okay. 😭
