#SACRIFICE ?????

[takemetoterrasenpls]

No literally!!

Cause sometimes I'm thinking about my friends and the love I have for them

Sometimes I'm thinking about my husband and the love I have for him

Sometimes it's about my family and while that's complicated, I still have love for them

Not to mention thinking about all of the activities that I just love?? Like reading?? Playing games??? Spending time with people??? I love all of that shit so much

And sometimes I'm thinking about love in specific contexts like, Lily Evans Potter loved her son so much she sacrificed herself for him

Feyre Archeron loved a male so much she died for him (and then loved another so much more that she lived for him)

Ren loved her siblings so much there's nothing she wouldn't do for them. She loved them so much she created and maintained at least 5 different personas, within the same city, while creating and enacting her own elaborate long-term con, in order to give her and her sister a better life

Aelin Ashryver Galathynius loved her people so much she was willing to be locked up and tortured for all of eternity in order to protect them, to give them a chance

Love is at once such an abstract thought while also being so specific and particular. There's love in pretty much everything we do and everyone we are. There's love in almost every interaction with anything. I think that's amazing.

Fandoms have saved my life more times than I can count and they are communities created by multiple people who all share a love for a story. I think that's pretty fucking neat.

y'all think about love?

The way Isha was so content with her sacrifice, closing her eyes and smiling in her final moments, actually hurts me. And she is only like that because she was thinking about Jinx: how she saved her, how she took her in when she was left for the streets of the undercity, how she was able to constantly follow her around and get inspired, how she was able to fulfill the loss of her inner child, and finally how she was able to save her and the other people (Vi) she loved from dying.

That, my friends, makes this really heart wrenching, and what hurts even more is that she was a child. She was particularly Jinx’s child, and we can see that in the way Jinx looked the most frightened when Isha was captured, or the way she saw how she grabbed her gun, stuffed it with hextech, and pulled the trigger (all while being held back by her sister despite her tries in running to Isha, crying and screaming).

While I can't have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I'd take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I'd wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning.

This generation’s failure to keep the children safe will be remembered well into the future. We have a chance now to redeem ourselves and do something to protect their mental and physical health.

Bobbie is right, we need to stop focusing on what divides us and “that’s only going to happen when we start loving our children more than we hate each other.”

I AM remaining hopeful 🙏 that "We The People" as a whole unified revolution will do the right thing 🤔

One of the biggest “I love you”s in Fullmetal Alchemist are all the ways people respect each other’s bodily autonomy. There are two scenes that carry this theme to its fullest potential, and I love them so, so much.

The first one is quite iconic: Riza’s throat was slit and Roy has a chance to save her - by dooming their country and committing human transmutation. And Roy would do it. He would throw it all away just to save her, even though he knows that human transmutation is an unforgivable sin. But she looks at him and signals him to Not Do It. And he doesn’t. He wants to, but he doesn’t do it. Because only minutes earlier, he hurt her again by dooming himself (and potentially the country) with his fury.  And if there is one thing Roy Mustang doesn’t want to do, it’s hurt Riza Hawkeye any more than he already has. Even if that means watching her die. Even if that means letting her go.

He respects her and their goals enough to say no.

He loves her enough to let her die.

The second one is just as heart-wrenching: after Al sacrificed himself, basically dying in the process, Ed tries to think of a way to save him. Both Hohenheim and Ling offer him a Philosopher’s Stone to bring Al back - and Ed says No. Even though he wants nothing more in life than to save his little brother. Even though there is nothing he wants more desperately than the safety of Al. He says no for many reasons - Hohenheim is his father after all, Ling needs the stone to become Emperor - but mostly he says no because he and Al promised to never use a Stone for themselves. And he respects that. He puts Al’s wish above his own desire to see his little brother again. He respects Al’s decision (his own conviction) enough to break the rules of the world to find another way.

Because he loves Al - he loves him enough not to break the fundamentals of their principles. He loves him enough to respect the integrity of their believes.

And the narrative rewards both Roy and Edward for their choice to respect the agency and bodily autonomy of their loved ones - they survive, are saved, are brought back... and neither Ed nor Roy had to force their own desire for them to live on clearly stated last wishes.

So often we see media portray the disregard for bodily autonomy (especially in medical contexts) as a sign of love, the breaking of patient-doctor confidentiality as a sign of care, the violation of a living will as a sign of family - I like to think that Fullmetal Alchemist shows us that there’s strength in respecting it instead.

and the crazy thing is spn really added a whole scene with cas and dean alone at a bar, having a sentimental moment, while they watch cupid matchmake a delivery woman and a male bartender but actually it turns out to be the bartender and a GUY sitting at the bar. A gay romance. As if we are NOT going to read into that.

She’s beautiful in an angelic sacrificial lamb way. An easy kill, desperately needing her throat slit.
