#Mama Rancor

[empress-violetlight]

This trope is so prevalent -- I just had to avert it in my fics:

----------------------------

“It’s all right,” Pellaeon assured her, “I should be heading back soon, but if you ever need anything …”

“I’ll be sure to contact you. In the meantime, please don’t tell anyone else the location of Nirauan. It’s my responsibility now to continue the work Thrawn began, but I can’t do that if the Rebels find out we’re here. Nirauan will need to be independent of the Empire from now on.”

“I can’t say I understand completely, but Grand Admiral Thrawn always had good reasons for what he did, and I don’t expect his wife would be any different. I trust you. I’ll erase Nirauan’s location from the Chimaera’s logs when I get back.” Pellaeon promised. “Will you be all right?”

Xelarra looked lovingly at her son, who was now wide awake. Flame-red eyes met sparkling ones, already wide with curiosity, just like ... she took a breath. It was good to have the reminder, she tried to convince herself.

“I will be. I have to be, for Shran. He needs his mother,” she answered.

“All right. Until we meet again, My Lady,” Pellaeon said in farewell.

“Until then, Vice Admiral.

As Pellaeon left to go build whatever future for the remnants of the Empire he could, Xelarra could finally let down her guard. As a rule, Chiss have better control over their emotions than humans do, but that does not mean that those emotions do not exist. She held Shran close, her baby son who would never even have a chance to meet his father.

Xelarra cried for both of them.

-----------------------------

Xelarra's husband, Grand Admiral Thrawn, had just died (that was canon - not my fault), but she had a baby son to take care of. She must live, for her child.

She lives not only to be a mother to her son, but to seek justice for her husband's murderers and rise to the position of Empress of the Hand.

This woman lives.

the woman dies.

summary: kenza never could quite understand why her dad could never show up; times throughout the years kenza has been let down

warnings: daddy issues and deadbeat dad 👻

notes: based off of real experiences 🫡 READ KENZA’S WIKI PAGE FOR BACKGROUND INFO

FOURTEEN YEAR OLD KENZA STARED LONGINGLY AT THE SEAT IN THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY SECTION.

It was her first El Clasico with the senior team and she knew her mom had told everybody. Kenza even invited him. She could hear her teammates celebrating their win as she should be, yet there she was staring at the cold, bare seat. Her eyes shifted to her Mom and Diana who both held sympathetic looks on their faces.

Kenza's inner turmoil was broken by Alexia who ran up and grabbed her face. "What's wrong, Amorcita? You scored the winning goal!"

Kenza couldn't bring herself to answer, instead she kept staring at the seat. Alexia followed her eyes, and after a silent conversation with Nor, she had figured it out. "Lo siento, mi Princesa," was all Alexia could offer as Kenza shoved her head to her chest.

"Why didn't he show up?" Kenza cried, loudly.

"Smile, Kenny!" Diana Taurasi told her freshly turned nine year daughter. Kenza smiled showing her gums off to the camera as the flash went off. "Look at you, pretty girl. Finally nine."

The family had decided to spend Kenza's ninth birthday in London as day after the Olympics ended. While Kenza, was excited to see her moms, she saw them quite often, she was quite revved to see her dad, someone she hadn't seen since early May.

"Mama, when is dad getting here?" Kenza decided to ask her mom. Kenza carefully observed her mom tense up before quickly recovering.

Nor, with a tight smile on her lips, responded, "Let me check, Chiquita."

Diana seemed to pick up on her fiancee's mood, "Aye Kenny, you ready to see Auntie Sue and Auntie Meg?"

Kenza's eyes brightened at the mention of her favorite aunties, "Wait, let me go put on my shoes," the birthday girl ran up the stairs of the rental as Nor unknowingly let go of the breath she was holding.

"Where is he?" Diana asked bitterly. She and the retired NBA player have publicly and privately bumped heads numerous times. Akoni calling her a "wife stealer." While Diana didn't like his alcoholism and reckless behavior around her family.

Nor sighed as tears welled in her eyes, "He's not coming at all. Got caught drinking and driving, he got charged with a DUI so now he's being checked into court ordered rehab," Her heart truly hurt for her daughter.

"Fuck," Diana muttered before pulling Nor into her, "Hey, Kenny is strong."

"That's the thing, she's nine. She's not supposed to be this strong. I keep letting him hurt her," Nor rancorously ranted, a tear slipping down her face before being quickly wiped away by Diana.

"It’s not your fault he is the easy he is,” Diana said through clenched teeth, “Don't worry, I'll tell her." She offered, gently directing her distraught fiancée to the couch before going upstairs to break the news to you. Five minutes later, Diana came downstairs with a sobbing child in her arms who just wanted comfort from her moms.

Kenza leg bounced up and down in the rather comfortable chair, lost in her thoughts. This was possibly one of the biggest nights of her life, the Ballon d'Or Awards; being nominated for the Kopa Féminin Awards has been the highlight of Kenza's season. If she won this award, she would be the first ever recipient to win the category.  Most importantly, it was the first award show her whole family was coming to.

Paige looked at the girl beside her and rested her hand on her knee before whispering in her ear, "I told you once, and I'll tell you again. You are going to win, stop being so nervous."

"I can't help it," Kenza mumbled back, inhaling sharply. Her eyes watched the stage, seeing her Auntie Meg take the stage.

A bit zoned out, Kenza came back to it when Paige nudged her as Megan announced the winner. "The first Kopa Féminin Award goes to..." Megan smiled as her voice broke with emotion, "my Kenny, Kenza Creoxells."

Blood rushed to Kenza ear as she sat there with a dumbfounded expression on her face as she took in the information. She got up after Alexia came to the table and basically pushed her out of the chair.

Taking the stage after accepting the award and hugging her auntie. Kenza looked in the crowd scanning the room, she saw her mom and mami, Paige, her Barca teammates, even some of her friends from UConn and Yale. Her eyes paused on the empty seat, her eyes going to her moms who has the same sympathetic looks on their faces. A odd sense of deja vu washed over Kenza before she shook her head of her thoughts.

"Kenza Creoxells is the first ever recipient of the Kopa Femenin Award earning it for her work with Barcelona Femení." The announcer said making people cheer louder, as the picture of Kenza doing her signature celebration is blown up on the screen.

"Wow, I have nothing to say but thank you. Thank you to my Mama who let me move in with Auntie Alexia because she saw that this was truly my dream. Thank you to my Mami who literally never let me quit no matter how much I wanted to. Thank you to everyone at Barcelona for giving me a chance and my teammates for helping raise me. Thank you for my team and Yale, my friends as UConn and Paige for always being there. You all have truly become my family and I can't ask for any more than that, thank you," Kenza sniffled before she walked off the stage and more applause thundered throughout the building.

Kenza sat outside of her own party, playing with the Barcelona flag wrapped around her. She had escaped the party after winning the Kopa Award, feeling particularly overwhelmed. Her initial plan on sneaking out with Paige was squashed when she saw Mapi talking Paige's ear off.

"My Enzy! Look at ya! Kop' Winner!" A familiar deep voice thundered.

Kenza looked up from her place on the steps, "Dad?" She quickly got up and took a step toward him, "What are you doing here?"

"My daughter won the... the award! Why wouldn't I be here?" Taking the step forward was a big regret on Kenza's part as the smell of alcohol became prominent. Kenza took in his appearance: Red eyes, stumbling around, she knew he wasn’t sober.

Kenza smiled wryly, "You forgot. You forgot like everything else. Why? Why can't you be a good dad for day, just a day." Kenza sobbed as she sat back down on the steps.

Akoni seemed to sober up at the sound of his daughter's sobs. He sat next to her and sighed, "I have a lot of regrets in life, but having you isn't one of them. Not being there for you, is. I'm a deadbeat, drunk with too much money. I was never worthy enough to be your father, I knew that as soon as I held you. After your mom and I broke up, I spiraled. Don't be like me Enzy, be better."

Kenza sobs only grew louder as she rested her head against Akoni's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Enzy."

Im a born shitposter. No matter how transgender or homosexual I may be I will never give up the funny. It’s against my blood, when I was but a wee lass fresh out of the pisser my mama touched me on the forehead and cursed me in an ancient dead tongue unknown to the likes of man. As I say this up on stage with rancorous cheers coming from the crowd, a lone plebeian (a mutual) comes and shouts “this is the third time you’ve told this joke you’ve said it twice on a discord server we’re all in” my guards carry them away, alas I do not realize the conveniently placed laser dot on my head

“No third child from you then?”

The question is fair, if unexpected in the moment. Aleth pauses for a few soul beats, caught off guard. Kieran, her little shadow, shifts in his medicated sleep, unconsciously showing his displeasure with the sudden loss of attention. With a slow sigh, Aleth goes back to petting his skull, waiting for that wrinkled brow to relax before she answers.

“No third grandchild for you, ficcanaso.”

Hallas laughs with a silent shake of their shoulders, diamond eyes looking sideways at their mate. Quietly, Dharma swats at them, not taking her eyes off her daughter.

“I’m allowed to be nosy, hush.” Dharma leans forward in her chair, long tail flicking excitedly along the ground. “You seemed so eager to try before, Aleth: you can’t blame me for asking. Momma just wants to know.”

For just a moment, Aleth lamented the fact that she was very much her mothers child. Her poor boys had to put up with so much.

“You have pronipote, mama,” Aleth shook her head, “Shouldn’t that be enough to satisfy you?”

Kieran and Shade hadn’t had the twins quite at the same time, despite one or two scares. She was thankful Kieran was able to have his first. Shade had been able to bubble the souling without any issue, thanks to how easygoing his own souling had been. He had been able to wait a few more days for Kieran to recover before they induced the second twin.

In her humble opinion, they should have let him recover for longer, as his labor had been hard. But, her son had insisted, saying he wanted the soulings to at least emerge from the bubbles around the same time, to really keep them twins. And, well, if Kieran had enough energy to adamantly argue with her in their native language, then he had enough energy to make a bubble.

Predicatively, it had worn Kieran out even more. So for now, she was playing nursemaid to the two new fathers, watching over Kieran to make sure he got rest. Her doting on them kept Shade from overly fretting or feeling guilty for wanting to go do anything other than hover by his mates side. It also meant she could monitor the twins at this critical stage of development, and could help supplement their food when the boys got to drained.

Of course, her playing nursemaid also meant she couldn’t go visit her mother. Hence, the current predicament.

“Of course I am happy!” Dharma says, keeping her voice soft with a glance down at Kieran. “Any souling is cause for celebration, my dear, don’t get me wrong. And, of course, we would love to host a dinner party to celebrate the occasion when they’ve recovered more- ”

“If they would allow it.” Hallas smoothly cuts in. Dharma nods vigorously, waving her hand.

“Yes yes, of course, of course, I do hope they at least consider, getting gifts from the other houses would be beneficial for them in the long run and- never mind, a topic for another time. I am happy, my dear, and I don’t mean to push for more.”

“It’s just... I- we never got to know our grandsons. They never visited outside of dinner parties... or Count business, something Hal and I had no part of. Rancor knew Kieran best, bless his cantankerous soul, but Bromell’s spiteful little feud with you and Krishna just went and made everything ever so complicated.”

“Sorry about him.” Hallas sighs.

Dharma reaches over and pats their hand, twining their fingers together after. She frowns, looking from Hallas, to Aleth’s carefully neutral expression, before finally settling on Kieran with a long sigh.

“What I mean to say is... we would like to know our grandchildren... especially now that things are changing- hopefully- for the better.”

Aleth hums in acknowledgment. The trials had begun not to long ago, first detailing the corruption of the handler system and the ethics of the Pit as Darius had been essentially rewriting everything his father had implemented in the church as well. Through this, he could safely begin to target the Counts as well.

Aleth was certain that Bromell would eventually be executed for his crimes. She had no love for him, but would extend her sympathies to Hallas when the time came. It wasn’t their fault their spawn was an utter fool.

She hoped Tati got to kick his ass before he was sent to his eternal torment.

“The Angel’s have blessed this weeding of corruption within the Countcil.” Hallas says softly. “All will turn out as it should, in the end.”

Aleth nods to them before looking back down at her sleeping son. Curled up half on her, half on the couch, calm and lax, he looked younger than he was. The urge to protect and to hold was hard to fight off in moments like this. She was sure it would never really go away.

“I’m not the one you need to say that to mama. You need to reach out to them.” Aleth smiles. “My boys are stubborn, so it may take some time... but I am confident your legendary persistence will bear fruit, as it always does.”

Dharma barks out a laugh, half falling against Hallas as she wags a finger at her daughter.

“You sly tongued imp you, wherever did you learn such sass?”

Aleth’s smile turns into a sharp baring of her teeth, humor glimmering in her eyelights.

“From the best, of course.”

[daimyosprincess]

i mean it's sad the rancor died in rotj but it was still done out of self defense? the victims thrown in the pit didn't wanted to be eaten or crushed, and not everyone knew about calming a creature with the force. unlike the time din and grogu harassed and took down a mudhorn mom who was just protecting her egg. 🤷‍♀️

For sure for sure, Luke wasn't wrong to act in self-defense at all. And the poor mama mudhorn who lost her egg 😭 that made me sad too, my dramatic ass

[desabafando-tudo]

Uma coisa que eu percebi é que eu tinha muito sentimento por você e, de uma certa maneira, eu estava muito apegada, praticamente dependente do nosso relacionamento. Quando você terminou comigo eu senti muitas coisas de uma maneira muito intensa. A minha mãe ficava falando que você tinha terminado comigo porque já devia estar de olho em outra mulher melhor, e eu com aquela sensação de ter sido abandonada, rejeitada e talvez trocada, traída, enfim, senti inconformismo, revolta, aquela sensação de que eu não merecia estar passando por isso, frustração, raiva, tristeza, carência total, um monte de questionamentos sem respostas. Eu lembro que foi tudo tão intenso que eu comecei a sentir medo de ficar presa nesse turbilhão de emoções e não conseguir superar, porque eu já vi muitos casos de pessoas que ficam 10, 20, 30 anos ruminando a dor da perda. Eu lembro que há muitos anos atrás, numa época que eu frequentava o centro espírita, tinha uma mulher que fazia tratamento e ela tinha desenvolvido bulimia e anorexia porque não conseguia superar a separação. Já tinha passado não sei quantos anos e ela falava com mágoa e rancor do ex-marido que saiu de casa para ficar com outra mulher. Eu já vi casos de mulheres que tiveram câncer de mama ou de útero porque passaram exatamente por esse tipo de situação. Olhando de fora eu sempre julgava que essas mulheres eram fracas, mas quando você terminou comigo eu realmente pude sentir na minha pele e perceber que não é uma fraqueza, é uma inabilidade para lidar com as próprias emoções. Eu tive que olhar para dentro de mim, encarar a minha dor, deixar aquilo fluir através da escrita para poder me aliviar. Foi uma experiência muito pesada, marcante, mas ao mesmo tempo extremamente libertadora. Eu lembro que eu tive um sonho onde me foi dito que tudo aquilo era para eu exercitar o perdão. E eu entendi que perdoar é aceitar o grau de consciência da outra pessoa e não se colocar como vítima da situação. E perdão é uma coisa muito interessante porque eu achava que tinha perdoado, afinal de contas eu queria perdoar e me libertar de tanta dor, mas quanto mais eu perdoava, mais eu me dava conta que lá no fundo ainda existiam sentimentos de raiva, inconformismo e revolta. Eu esperei muito pelo seu pedido de perdão, e ele veio num momento onde eu não esperava mais, pois já havia te perdoado a algum tempo. E o mais lindo foi quando eu percebi que você não foi o malvado da história, você foi simplesmente o meu mestre. Eu entendi que você ou qualquer outra pessoa não tem poder nenhum de me afetar, de me causar qualquer sentimento desagradável, está tudo dentro de mim, na minha capacidade de encarar as dores que estão ocultas e acumuladas em meu ser, sabe se lá desde quando. Eu aprendi que eu não preciso de ninguém para me apoiar, me estender a mão, ou me incentivar a perdoar e curar as minhas próprias dores, toda essa fortaleza e capacidade está dentro de mim. Tarefas árduas como autoconhecimento, perdão, superação, no final das contas, é um trabalho da gente com a gente mesmo. Talvez se eu estivesse frequentando uma terapeuta, ela iria me atrapalhar mais do que ajudar, e eu digo isso por experiência própria já que frequentei várias psicólogas ao longo na minha vida. Por isso que eu digo que vou sempre te agradecer, porque me tornei uma mulher muito mais madura através de você. Não foi fácil, mas valeu muito a pena. E hoje eu simplesmente posso dizer com o coração aberto que você é livre tanto para ficar na minha vida quanto para ir embora. Sentimento correspondido e trocas sinceras de afeto são incrivelmente maravilhosas, mas também é preciso saber lidar com o extremo oposto de uma forma madura, equilibrada e saudável. Foi o que eu aprendi com o término. E eu também aprendi a reconhecer todas as vezes que eu me abandonei, me rejeitei, traí a mim mesma, não me admirei, não tive empatia e consideração comigo, enfim, não me amei o suficiente. Isso daria assunto para um palestra, rs. Resumindo, acho que fiz do limão uma limonada, rs.

[theasexuwhalestuff]

Thoughts while watching The Book of Boba Fett Episode 7: In The Name of Honor

GROGU CHOSE HIS DAD!!!!! I mean, I knew he would, didn't trust Favreau and Filoni to actually let that be the case. But what-fucking-ever, Grogu said bye bitch to the Jedi.

Luke is that salty, huh? He sent an entire baby in an X-wing across the galaxy with R2-D2 of all creatures. Wtf, man. Get a fucking grip.

FINALLY MORE PELI MOTTO AND GROGU CONTENT!!!

Peli refusing to use Grogu's name is just the majority of this fandom.

Lmao love how R2 snarks everyone but Peli just goes STFU baby needs to eat.

Li'l gremlin is so happy eating those slugs!!

We're really gonna call Mos Pelgo fucking Freetown?? Come on.

At last we get Fennec, Din and Boba interacting, but ofc that only lasts three seconds. Would pay to watch an entire series dedicated to this trio goofing off, doing nothing and being besties. So much lost potential 😔

Fennec saying there's money to be made from the spice just made me wanna know abt her and her character and it's such a fucking SHAME that they gave us nothing. Not even crumbs. Yeah ok, she beat Cad Bane and kidnapped Omega. So? I just wanna know more abt her personality and her past and what shaped her you fuckers. She deserves her own fucking show.

Fennec really pulling all the weight around here and having to lend Boba a few brain cells from time to time so he doesn't get himself killed.

Santo. SANTO??? Boba's already pet-naming his almost murderer awww.

Fennec being an absolute badass and singlehandedly killing all the Aqualish.

That comment abt manners killed me. Her tone, omg. Badass mama.

Boba and Din actually talking. I was abt to throw hands cuz I thought Boba would be the last person to mock Din's creed. But then Din said yes, he does believe in that bantha fodder. And Boba just said good??? You alright mans.

Flying Mando Kings.

They just fight so well together omg.

Boba trying to shield Din and making sure he's ok 😭😭😭

Boba being soft af to "Santo" and offering him the same bacta tank he was ripped out from and almost slaughtered.

Grogu come save your dad. He's in trouble again.

Oh wait, what. Giant killer droids chasing Din. Omg is this man okay?? I hope it's not triggering him or something.

Peli fucking Motto in a droid-rickshaw YAASSS. They're spoiling us with all the Peli Motto content.

Mando seeing his baby and doing a triple take and Grogu just FLYING into daddy's arms 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Mando flinging himself to catch his baby.

Peli just casually spitting out a tooth.

Mando holding his baby!!! Just like before!!! Mando and Grogu again!!!!

Boba Fett riding the fucking baby rancor.

Din covering his face, preparing for death 😭😭😭

Grogu said no one hurts my dad, fucker.

Dadalorian is BACK!!!

Peli flirting w the majordomo; I am deceased.

Me when Cad Bane showed up again: This bitch won't lay off, huh?

They're shooting Boba's baby wtf.

Din's the only person in the room w a brain cell ofc they're scaring it. Its a baby. Just like the baby Din's holding.

He gave the control knob back to bebe!!

Grogu off to save Papa again. What would this man do w/o this baby?

Grogu wtff?? Go curl up w Papa not the rancor.

Boba actually lent his bacta tank.

Dad and baby shenanigans are back!!!!

They're resurrecting Cobb Vanth???? I mean I didn't get why he had to die, but why bring him back either? Does this mean he's gonna get his own spin-off show like Boba did? 🤔

What-fucking-ever. Who cares. Din's back with his baby, that's the most important thing in this galaxy.

[a-lil-perspective]

So my mom has a very vivid memory of when my sister was little: my sister was in her playpen and just let out a demon-like screech of “MAMA! PICK. ME. UP.” 😂 I feel like this would happen with Keida and poor Crosshair and his wife look at each, then at Keida, and then Asher who’s just sitting quietly coloring and they wonder how their kids are so different

LMAO I LOVE THIS.😂 That’s too cute.😂❤️

That’s definitely Keida. Crosshair and the wife (and Asher XD) don’t understand it.

Get this so Keida ABSOLUTELY has a play pen, because she gets into trouble; in fact, she’s something of an escape artist. XD Crosshair and Delana are suddenly having to do extensive baby-proofing for their little rancor. XD Because Keida will get into any and EVERY thing. Asher was never in a play pen are you kidding me that baby was precious the few times his parents actually put him down he would just sit on the floor and play so sweetly. Crosshair and Dee wonder where they went wrong. XD

Also now I’m just picturing Hunter’s battalion of baby girls all grouped together in a play pen and that’s the only way Papa Hunter can keep them all in one place. XDD

tabitha was hardly ever prepared for the shit that life threw in her face, but getting arrested and losing her baby in the same day was definitely one of the top contenders. see, she had no intentions of getting arrested OR losing her baby. both were purely accidental, wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time situations. so none of that neglectful mother shit. okay? tabitha adored shepherd more than life itself. more than her own life. so much more than her own life.

so as she was dragged away, screaming and sobbing, from that little bundle, she knew she had to find a way out of this somehow. she was the last fucking icarii, she survived, dammit!!

so her time with the first order was long, and terrifying. she was stuck in jail for a fucking week. her only saving grace was lack of evidence. they didn’t have anything on her, so they let her go. 

a week. her baby was probably dead by now. 

the minute she was released, it was a panicked wild goose chase to find shepherd. and she was nothing less than a mama-bear. mama-tiger. mama-wampa. mama-rancor. mama-violent-psycho-bitch-ready-to-slaughter-cities. yeah. 

all she could do was ask around, begging strangers for information. // @doran-kalsek​

Hi hi, Can you rec me some fics where Sakura dies and Sasuke has to go through it? I saw this prompt once about what would sasuke react if sakura was killed by Gaara when they were Genin. (I kinda wanna feel some angst💔💔)

Hi nonny,

Thank you for stopping by! 💕

This is one of the most requested asks I’ve received lately (and also the most difficult one to answer). 😢 Seriously, I cried a few times re-reading this fics.😭

I have a list for you and it includes mostly one-shots. There will be fics where Sasuke realizes too late how he feels about Sakura, there will be ones where he rages and succumbs to darkness, and others where he mourns the love of his life. I think no warnings are necessary other than the list’s title, right? 

So, grab your kleenex box 🤧 and let’s feel some angst together:

Okaeri, Sasuke-kun By: purflixoxo 

After giving birth to their children, Sakura died and left Sasuke behind. Sasuke becomes a coldhearted jerk while Sarada becomes a strong oldest daughter for this broken family.

Dance for Me, Marionette By: soulaire 

Sasuke feels the Sharingan whirl to life, alarmed, expecting some sort of enemy. His instincts tell him to run, to flee, to get as far away from her as he can. Unnatural, his mind screams at him, inhuman. And it's true. Because she isn't human. No, the girl who used to be his teammate has turned into Sasori's prize possession. She's nothing now. Nothing but a puppet. [Rated T, complete]

Heartland Ep. 1501 Review

(cross-posted on Facebook, as usual.) Season premieres are supposed to set the tone for the rest of the season, in my opinion. Viewers should be able to get some hints of what they can expect to see as the various plots unfold and what complications and character developments to look out for.

Moving Toward the Light by showrunner Heather Conkie has an absolute WINNER of an episode here. 15 seasons in, and she can still bring her "A" game. Everyone from top to bottom was excellent in this episode. 

Was it really 10 years ago that Amy was entranced along with the rest of us by Renard Perez and his liberty work? Gosh that doesn't seem so long ago, and yet 10 years is a long time, especially in the life of a TV show.

Just when we think Amy is about to be reunited with her old friend, we instead get Renard's protégé, Sylvie Fauchard. We find out Sylvie was apparently Renard's "second choice" for trainer when Amy turned him down for the Dark Horse tour.

Renard has apparently forgotten to email Amy to tell her Sylvie is on the way with her duo of problem horses: Zeus and Juniper.

(Side note: I'm not sure why they recycled the "Zeus" name here when it was another "Zeus" that nearly blinded Amy back in Season 7, but whatever; horses’ names don't have to be unique.)

From the beginning, I sensed the "problem" stemmed from Sylvie's favouritism. She was clearly babying Zeus and being much more solicitous of him. Juniper was being ignored, and he was not happy about it, to the point of turning on Zeus and Sylvie to make his displeasure known.

As to why this totally went over Sylvie's head despite both Renard and Amy bringing it to her attention is puzzling to me, and it's the one weak spot of the episode.

I would have liked a better explanation as to why she was "babying" Zeus other than the "I nursed him back to health" point. That's great, Sylvie, now stop ignoring Juniper and show him some love, too—unless you unconsciously blame him for Zeus' debilitating injury and are somehow punishing him by giving him the cold shoulder... Anyway, Sylvie threatens to leave after she gets huffy with Amy over her "advice" to stop coddling Zeus, and it's innocent little Lyndy's request that she stay and help plan a birthday surprise for her mama that makes her pause. Lyndy wants Sylvie to teach her how to dance with Harley. Friends, my eyes nearly teared up when Sylvie asks whose horse Harley is, and Lyndy says it's her daddy's. Sylvie comments how she hasn't met her daddy, and Lyndy informs her that Ty is "in heaven". Sylvie agrees to help, and teaches Lyndy a little liberty work with Harley, with Jack in tow, for some assistance with this "secret surprise" for Amy.

And speaking of secrets and surprises, Tim and Jessica are back from their galivanting. And as many of us guessed, they got married while on their travels. I'm really happy for Tim, as I haven't been this impressed with his choice in girlfriends since Casey. I think Jessica is really good for him, and a good fit, overall, with the family, despite her rancorous past with Lou.

The other plot line of note was Jack consulting with Lisa about "the future". She asks him if he'd have any regrets about slowing down at this stage in his life. Jack admits he'd regret not buying Mitch's herd. It seems Mr. Cutty, after being dumped by Lou, is divesting himself of his livestock and of his homestead of Aspen Grove.

Jack thinks he's too late to buy the herd after hearing from Fred Garland that they're available, but Mitch ultimately decides to turn down the other buyer and "keep it in the family". If this is the last we ever hear from Mitch, at least his last (off-screen) action is to do this good deed.

Meanwhile, Tim seems to be the one who wants to pull back from the cattle business and maybe just focus on his rodeo school. After all, he's married now. No idea where these newlyweds are going to live yet, but it's looking like the loft might be available... And why might it be available? 

Side note: Alisha Newton has been wiped from the opening credits. In fact, Georgie was not mentioned at all the entire episode (neither was Katie, but we know she's in future episodes). This could mean Georgie is either away studying, or training/competing with Equestrian Canada, as was hinted at during the Season 14 finale.

By the end of the episode, Sylvie has come 'round to accepting Juniper needed some lovin', too, and his behavior changes for the better. For Amy's (low-key) birthday celebration (was this her 30th?!), Sylvie gives a liberty demonstration, and invites Amy to do some, herself. The finale, though, is when Lyndy reveals her "secret" and brings Harley in for a little liberty work, too. Lyndy gives Harley the cue to give a bow, and the horse goes down on his front leg, delighting the family.

Sylvie admits she's envious of Amy and her life with her family; Amy admits she wonders what her life would have been like had she taken up Renard on his offer to tour with him, and seeing Sylvie is a glimpse into that life. It's interesting for us, too, as it gives us a chance to see how different Amy's life might have been.

Minor plot point: Lou wondering how she should move on her life now that Mitch is moving on... She makes an attempt to call Peter to maybe talk over what he said to her about still being in love with her and being totally NOT okay with her marrying someone else. She hangs up before Peter can answer, so we'll never know (at least at this point) what they would have said to each other.

Finally, we have a cute drawing Lyndy has made of the family at her "school" camp: a drawing that features a Man in the Moon—the Man being "Dada", telling Amy the moon is where Ty said he'd be. So clearly Lyndy has not forgotten her father. We wouldn't want her to forget him, either. The fact Amy didn't dissolve into tears right then shows her emotional strength has vastly improved since this time last year, and it's good for us to see, too; that healing from such a traumatic event is possible.

This was a near-perfect episode, and had elements of everything I've come to expect from a Heartland episode. Bravo, everyone! You endured so much to make this season happen, and I am already enthralled and eager for more.

"Sim, diga ao seu médico que vc tem dor no peito, mas diga tb que sua dor é dor de tristeza, é dor de angústia. Conte a seu médico que vc tem azia, mas descubra o motivo pelo qual vc, com seu gênio aumenta a produção de ácido no seu estômago. Relate que vc tem diabetes, no entanto não se esqueça de dizer tb que não está encontrando mais doçura em sua vida e que está muito dificil suportar o peso das suas frustrações. Mencione que vc sofre de enxaqueca, todavia confesse que padece com seu perfeccionismo, com a autocrítica, que é muito sensível à crítica alheia e demasiadamente ansioso. Muitos querem se curar, mas poucos estão dispostos a neutralizar em si o ácido da calúnia, o veneno da inveja, o bacilo do pessimismo e o câncer do egoísmo. Não querem mudar de vida. Procuram a cura de um câncer, mas se recusam a abrir mão de uma simples mágoa. Pretendem a desobstrução das artérias coronárias, mas querem continuar com o peito fechado pelo rancor e pela agressividade. Almeja a cura de problemas oculares, todavia não retiram dos olhos a venda do criticismo e da maledicência. Pedem solução para depressão, entretanto não abrem mão do orgulho ferido e do forte sentimento de decepção em relação a perdas experimentadas. Suplicam auxílio para os problemas de tireóide, mas não cuidam das suas frustrações e ressentimentos, não levantam a voz para expressarem suas legítimas necessidades. Imploram a cura de um nódulo de mama, todavia insistem em manter bloqueada a ternura e a afetividade. Chamam pela intercessão divina, porém permanecem surdos aos gritos de socorro que partem de pessoas muito próximas de si mesmos. Deus nos fala através de mil modos; a enfermidade é um deles e, por certo, o principal recado que nos chega da sabedoria divina é que está faltando mais amor e harmonia em nossa vida." ✍️Marcos Vinicius 🌎O que você sentiu ao ler essa mensagem? 👇Gostou do conteúdo? 📥Salve esse post. 👍Curta. 📤Compartilhe. 💜Marque os amigos. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTF_4tElzIY/?utm_medium=tumblr
