#am I taking this short too seriously

[ripplestitchskein]

I know it’s just a four minute short Stolas isn’t even in, but I think the now running theme of Blitz being “bad” at sex, at least oral, being somewhat confirmed, really ties into what I find most appealing about them. We see in The Circus that Stolas is the one who laughs at his jokes, it’s a running thing, Blitz being unfunny, we see it in flashbacks, in comments made by other characters, by the audience in Seeing Stars, with Stolas always being the notable exception. And Stolas is genuine in his laughter, he truly finds Blitz funny when at large he apparently isn’t. Blitz still presents himself as someone who is though, he sticks to the clown schtick, and despite the failures he keeps trying with increasing desperation, just like he kept trying with the balloon horse and the crystal. This contrast of everyone’s reaction vs Stolas’s is so important that one of the ways Blitz realizes Stolas is truly angry and means what he says is that Stolas didn’t laugh.

The bad at sex gag reads the exact same way to me. We have this idea that because of how Blitz presents himself, that he is considered generally attractive, that he is an asshole but he can throw down in the bedroom so people still give it a shot. But we have several comments that imply his dick game was not what was bringing them in. Verosika is the presenter of this information initially so it could just be from her perspective or even just spite based, at least that was true until we account for the new short which seems to confirm her statements. It is the same contrast of Blitz presenting himself one way, and even expressing that he can try harder if the other party is displeased, and us learning that the world at large is not into it but Stolas is. He like sings about it, he was excited about it, and that’s not down to experience or him not knowing better, he genuinely was into it. He derived pleasure from it and found it attractive. Even in Full Moon he blushes and hesitates when Blitz pushes his legs apart. Sex and humor are bimodal in the way that if you aren’t enjoying it you might give it a go a few more times before deciding it isn’t for you, or that you like some aspects and not others. Stolas is very clearly on the Blitz side for both of these. And he is an exception, if Verosika is the narrative proxy for the feelings of the Anti Blitz party attendees as a whole, which I think she is - stabbing his dick and saying no one wants it anyway - that this is a general opinion held by many, just like Blitz being not funny, that Stolas stands in contrast to.

The other thread tying them together in the narrative is Blitz’s performance anxiety itself. In the past for the humor we see him either failing completely in black and white flashbacks with no relief because Stolas wasn’t there, or we see him failing initially and Stolas reassuring him and giving him his confidence back by laughing. Now that we have additional information that Blitz is, on the whole, maybe not everyone’s cup of sexual tea It could be argued that Stolas’s over the top simping and outward showing of lust is the same as him laughing. Blitz certainly derived confidence from sexual performance when it came to Stolas, he had a lot of bravado about it and he put in a fuck ton of effort to the point where he thinks it’s all he has of value to him. Stolas expresses his appreciation loudly and outwardly. Blitz doesn’t trust it though, just as he doesn’t trust that Stolas is laughing at his jokes for real. Slowly over time Stolas stopped making those comments, and gave him outs on their arrangement. And then he stops laughing too. Blitz had no issue with the crystal when he was performing for Stolas but in Antarctica he freezes up and implies it’s been an ongoing off screen struggle. Just like he seemed to have no problem with performing oral when it was for Stolas. Millie tries to encourage him but Moxxie has to physically step in and show him. Blitz doesnt fix it himself. His confidence is still where it was when he was failing, they were just able to get home because Moxxie stepped in. Blitz has some new information but he didn’t suddenly develop confidence, not like he has in the past when Stolas was there to laugh or flirt. This really highlighted the consequences of what happens when Blitz doesn’t have Stolas to help his confidence both with sex and humor.

In summary I just love the idea that they are compatible on both of these levels in opposition to what seems to be mainstream opinion. That Blitz, the circus clown, has a captive and supportive audience in Stolas in all areas, his humor, his abilities, his business, and his sexual performance.

I find it curious that people who end up disliking Anders usually list their reasoning as him being snappy. Well, yeah? He is snappy, he is loud, he is fiery, and he doesn't know how to stand down most of the time. If he was not the way he is, he would be another Circle Mage. But that is not really the point, is it? He does not start out as this fiery mage who cannot shut up about anything injustice. He starts out as this jokester even the fans always look back and say "I liked this Anders better". Between the jokester!Anders and fiery!Anders, is there really that big of a difference though? Don't get me wrong, I do see the way years changed him, as well as the merging of course. But who he was and who he is are just a reflection of how he reacts to the same problem he always faced; being unheard. This man spent his entire life trying to make points that never really reached their destination. At first he joked about them, and everybody waved him off. Then he got serious, and he was shut down or ignored. From the point that we meet him, between dead templers, he already looked like he lost the argument about having anyone just listen long ago. So he jokes about it. Now, Awakening!Anders is young, not yet faced the unending taint and darkspawns, he is just starting. He didn't yet see the mess Kirkwall is, didn't help anyone who needs it in a sewer selflessly until drained. Didn't have an ethereal being of justice push him towards righting the wrongs done to his kind. He still had Ser Pounce too, if that helps. And in a way, Karl, of course. But the Anders we see in Kirkwall has seen and done all that. He is now all that he suffered. He changed, he didn't have a choice against it. But one thing did not change; he continued to make his points, and he continued being unheard. And at this point, I think it is already a bit late to hear him out. Because he has been unheard for so long, he feels unheard. And feelings are louder than facts, always. And, yes, he is snappy. He snaps because who would hear if he didn't? He is fiery because he has people to stand up for. It is not just his voice anymore, it is of many more like him. So yes, he is loud, with many voices hidden behind his own. Yet, even then, 'he is just an abomination.'

I wonder if the reason Moriarty is so desperate and needy when it comes to attention is because he's lonely by design. Most people around him has company. The gnomes have their own communities in gardens, the toys have each other, even the gargoyles are housed with other gargoyles. But he sits alone on a van. He doesn't get the privilege of resting in a pretty lawn, or on a building with a great view. He just sits by himself on top of a van with nothing but his phone.

I don't think his isolation is the reason he's a killer. Sherlock himself said that "some are just manufactured evil". Moriarty was never going to be a good person, even if he was just another garden decoration. But the loneliness probably didn't help, and just ended up being a contribution to his attention seeking. There's a reason he's so obsessed with Sherlock; the guy gives him a TON of attention and never stops thinking about him, even if that comes from hate rather than care. Attention is attention, it doesn't matter where it comes from. Sherlock himself even calls Moriarty out on it, saying "you're very needy for a villain".

I'm not trying to invent a traumatic backstory that will excuse people justifying him, I love this little gay pie but he is NOT a good guy and I don't think he should be treated as such ascskfhjkl

I watched the episode “Diggs” and I have thoughts

While enjoying The Simpsons completely legally and not through one of those endless Twitch streams, I came across this episode. In my country, more recent episodes (read “recent” as “from season 20 onwards”) are not often aired. So, this is the first time I've seen this episode which is now ten years old since its premiere. And, wow, this episode is gay, like GAY.

I can't find another word to describe it. It's impossible not to believe that Bart has feelings for this Harry Potter-voiced guy.

It's not the first time it's been hinted that Bart might be queer (jokes about it have been present in the series since its inception), but it's the first time it's been perceived as almost…. authentic? realistic? not just a superficial joke?

This episode exudes a strange vibe overall. I feel it more serious and melodramatic than the Bart-centric episodes and it tackles topics that are rarely explored in depth in his life. Usually Bart's serious episodes revolve around school issues, making amends for pranks, dealing with the guilt of his actions. Although there are exceptions, such as “Barthood” (one of the best in my opinion) and when he strikes up a friendship with that old lady. However, this episode focuses on the helplessness Bart feels at not being able to understand or help his new friend.

It is odd to see Bart take a more passive role in the plot. Normally he is the one who draws people in with his strong personality, but here he is pulled into someone else's world. He doesn't exercise leadership this time around; he simply follows Diggs.

Unlike other episodes where Bart is pushed or manipulated to act according to the convictions of others (as in the episode where he escapes from the prison with that girl who constantly beats him; or when he falls in love with the reverend's daughter; or the episode where he befriends Rafa, in which, at the end, Bart manages to regain control about halfway through the episode), here he is the one who chooses to follow Diggs.

The structure of the script is also peculiar. I wouldn't say it's bad, but one senses that the plot they wanted to develop required more time and they had to cut out many parts. The distribution of the scarce 20 minutes available was not good; the first part goes on too long and lacks a clear connection with the rest of the episode, leaving little room for the real development of the plot and the intention of the episode.

It was necessary for Bart to feel left out from the other kids, but I'm sure there were other ways to accomplish this. Also, the scene where Bart begs Homero (that's what it's called in the Latin dub, okay?) to donate to the church seemed out of character to me. I know Bart is not a bad kid and can be empathetic when he wants to be, but it just doesn't quite fit for me. Maybe it's just a me thing, so don't read too much into it.

Enough talk and let's get to the point: Bart seems to have a crush on Diggs.

While you might not interpret the relationship between these two romantically, it's inevitable to notice Bart's peculiar behavior in this episode.

Arguably, he's somewhat out of character, but this series has a very malleable continuity, adaptable to the specific needs of each episode, so this change isn't all that unusual.

Bart's behavior makes more sense if we assume he has feelings for this boy. At the time Bart meets Diggs, he was alone and about to be attacked by bullies. Diggs, a mysterious new boy, shows up to save him. Diggs shows Bart a side of the school isolated from the rest by introducing him to the falconry club. Bart enthusiastically joins, perhaps motivated by how cool falcons are or by the company of someone who doesn't reject him at the time, or perhaps for both reasons.

Diggs and Bart share a moment together at school late into the evening, watching the hawk fly, or rather, waiting for his return.

When Bart comes home late on taco day (Marge says Bart is never late for tacos) and his family asks him where he was, he replies:

"I met this kid, a little old, kinda strange. I don't think other people get him, but I just wanna hang out with him all the time."

Have you ever heard Bart refer to someone else that way? It sounds strange, especially coming from someone he just met.

What makes Diggs so different from the other guys Bart has befriended? Why does he only refer to him this way and not others?

Bart's sincerity in that sentence is remarkable, no sarcasm or irony, just honesty with his family and himself. He doesn't mention falconry or how he feels about it. Instead, he talks about Diggs and his desire to be with him all the time.

You can argue that it's bad writing (which I neither confirm nor discount at this point, hoy no me mojo el potito), but haven't you met someone older with a particular interest that you thought was amazing? Someone you'd want to emulate? It's a common thing, especially at the stage when you're searching for an identity of your own or getting to know yourself.

Later, we're shown a montage of small moments where these two share time together (including a walk on the beach and lounging on top of a tree in the woods while Diggs recites poetry). Bart seems fascinated in every instant, and we are never explicitly told why.

Although they use the hawk to perform pranks, Bart has done similar things before or could do them in other ways. We are not shown how much time they have actually spent together, nor is there a clear evolution. This scene exists solely to establish the friendship between them. It's not clear why Bart is so interested in falconry or spending time with Diggs. He just does it.

One could argue that Bart simply likes falconry, it wouldn't be the first time he's had an affinity for an animal or bird. But, the plot doesn't focus on Bart's relationship with the falcon or falconry itself, but rather the relationship between these two boys.

Falconry seems like an added element to highlight how quirky Diggs is compared to the other kids. It could have been any other sport or club, and the episode wouldn't have changed much. It's an extraneous element, as Bart's emotional attachment doesn't lie in that; it could be the starting point, but it has no bearing on the conclusion.

In the third act, after Diggs, you know, tries to fly in a moment of delirium and is taken to the hospital, Bart visits him and questions his behavior. Diggs' answers seem to disturb Bart, but he remains silent.

When Diggs is admitted to Twisted Meadows Psychiatric Hospital, Bart seeks information and asks permission to visit him the next day. Concerned, he continues to research “The Life of a Crazy Kid” (things Bart does, informing himself and reading). He wants to cure Diggs, but Lisa tells him it can't be done. Then he goes back to school with melancholy music playing in the background.

At the end, when they release all the hawks and it's time for Diggs to leave, Bart takes the bike to stop his friend. He asks him sadly when they will see each other again, to which Diggs does not respond. Instead, he hands Bart the presidency of the falconry club, thanks him for being his friend and disappears into the sunset. As the melancholy music plays again in the background, Bart sadly watches him walk away.

The story has no satisfying ending for Bart; he just stands there, getting no real goodbye and watching his new friend leave, never to return.

This looks like a fanfic. The whole story seems like a love story, especially the second act which has coming of age overtones. Bart seems to have developed romantic feelings for Diggs, but he is too young to understand or question these feelings.

I've always found it curious that it was Lisa who was confirmed as bisexual. I mean, this whole family is incredibly bi/pan, that's indisputable. But in my perception, I've always felt that Bart has been the character to whom the most same-gender tendencies or behaviors considered more “feminine” have been hinted at.

I remember when he taught Lisa to walk in heels, when even Homero came to think that Bart might be gay, or when he himself admitted to feeling some attraction for Milhouse (the only person in this family with good taste in men is Homero, you won't be able to convince me otherwise). Also, at the end of the episode where he befriends Nelson, his hugging his jacket tightly and how he caresses it also gave me pause.

I don't know, has Lisa ever had similar moments with any woman before confirming her bisexuality? At least not that I've noticed. But anyway, I'm not an expert on The Simpsons, much less the queer police. It's not for me to decide when someone qualifies to identify as part of the community.

Can you tell much that I need to read fanfics of these two? I searched like crazy and could only find one. I read it twice btw.

I guess I'll have to write it myself. Todo yo, todo yo.

Also, I really liked this screenshot c:

this may be a weird thought, but I've always thought that Peeta being "broken from his curse" was a beautiful choice, even if it seems like it's lacking the realism the rest of the series emphasizes.

to that point, choosing to make it happen only under extreme duress was not only a narratively satisfying choice, but the correct cinematic one. to the latter, there's nothing inherently wrong with "cool for the sake of cool," especially when the rest of the story is cohesive and follows its own rules (i.e. it's not jumping the shark).

but i also simultaneously believe that it wasn't just for the rule of cool.

all of katniss' interactions with peeta post-brainwashing were very terse. after the initial attack—where katniss is convinced he's beyond saving and therefore dead—she's absolutely trying to remain as unaffected as possible. for one thing, she's scared. for another, if she lets her walls down and he responds to it positively, there's no way she wouldn't notice that; but katniss was always of the mind that if they could turn him into that, that there was no way it could be undone—she believed he was fully dead, and any small amount of hope would just deepen the pain of losing someone should they truly be lost.

i mean, trying to separate herself from him takes up the last half of mockingjay, when she keeps getting snippets of updates that he's getting better. she pushes herself further away, only to be forcibly reunited when coin guesses (incorrectly) that his presence will make her clumsy enough to become their martyr.

but, of course, coin's fatal flaw was not understanding that him being there drags her away from the precipe of suicide by warzone. he distracts her from acting aloof and cut off, accidentally allowing herself to become friends and allies with the team she was selfishly planning on leaving through death. suddenly, she can't put on the brave face for either party.

suddenly, peeta is seeing the katniss he knows. not the one trying her hardest to pretend like she doesn't know him. not the one mourning him. the one trying to keep him alive, against all odds and good advice.

it's a horrible, romantic parallel of the situation they've been in since day one.

Tellius Height Chart, or People in Tellius are How Tall?!

So, I was looking through the dead wasteland that is Twitter a little while ago, scrolling through the comments on a screenshot of Fire Emblem Engage showing Ike's Emblem fighting alongside...one of the new characters.

For my fellow beers-per-bald-eagle citizens, that's 76.77 inches, or 6'4.8" (rounding to 6'5").

And ho boy, if that is a fact, then that has some ramifications for the size of the people on Tellius because they're all close in height to him, if not massively larger than him. I know we all joke about Ike being super big in Radiant Dawn, but he seems kind of average compared to the others.

Spoilers and length below the cut.

(Screenshots courtesy of poledoo on YouTube...this post is honestly courtesy of poledoo and Odyssey RPG and every other Tellius YouTuber so I could find every obscure cutscene and base conversation to get the measurements and references I needed, along with Kantopia for having all the concept art imaged so beautifully)

So, obviously, I had to look for this Good Smile Ike Figure.

The website lists this figure as 1/7th scale, and 420 mm in height. This means that scaled up to 1:1, the total height is 2,940 mm or 294 cm. That means I just have to figure out how tall the Ike figure is in comparison to its total height, and I can double check the math. If it maths correctly, we should be around the same number.

After using the power of photoshop to figure out his height based on his pose, I came up with a size of ≈279mm, or ≈195 cm at scale, but then I realized my height calculation included the heels of his boots, so when I cut that out, I arrived at ≈273.4mm, or ≈191cm at 1:1 scale (6'3") without shoes.

Ike is big confirmed. Incidentally, I took the liberty of measuring Ragnell, and it was 185cm at 1:1 scale (6'1"). GOOD LORD THAT BLADE IS FUCKING HUGE. SOMEONE ELSE DO THE MATH ON HOW MUCH IT WEIGHS

So, then, I began the process of figuring out how tall every major character is. Fortunately, the devs had made a height scale for Path of Radiance when making the character models and decided to share some of that with us. The translated height chart was provided by XKAN and microwaveit on Kantopia

So that cut out a lot of the larger characters for me, but this chart was not an exact science. There are two places where Ike is compared to Reyson and Leanne, and like, what am I supposed to do? Their heads seem to be at about the same level, but their bodies are different sizes and the feet aren't all level.

I worked off the chart, primarily for the characters shown in it, compared to Ike's concept art, and just scaled their feet down to be level with Ike's feet. I also used concept art primarily because they're in more neutral standing poses, the height would be easier to work off of.

I then compared the characters to Ike's portrait in cutscenes in Path of Radiance. In order to arrive at their true height, I would make sure they were all scaled together with whatever footwear they're wearing (soles, heels, highheels, etc.) and then moved them down on the scale to remove the footwear from their total height.

I then used Titania as a cross game bookmark for Ike's scale in Radiant Dawn (fun fact, with shoes, they are the same height, just about), and brought in all the Radiant Dawn specific characters. I also scaled characters that were young enough in Path of Radiance to have grown in Radiant Dawn to Radiant Dawn Ike's portrait.

For fun, for characters in both games that weren't going through height growths in the intervening three years, I would compare them to Path of Radiance Ike and Radiant Dawn Ike to see how consistent the heights were. Some were very consistent, others...not so much.

I mean, look at Reyson! In Radiant Dawn, he's only up to about Ike's headband, but in Path of Radiance, he had a good amount of height over Ike. Scaling Reyson to both instances...shows a vastly different height.

And then we have characters like Zelgius, who are exceptionally consistent...aside from when they're the Black Knight.

As you can see, Zelgius wears stilts while in the Black Knight suit, that's why it's not obvious to anyone aside from Ranulf. That one edited image of Radiant Dawn Ike surrounded by Zelgius in Black Knight Armor, Zelgius, and Black Knight amuses me highly.

For characters like Reyson, I did the best I could with what I had.

Some characters were harder to scale. According to the height chart, Caineghis and Tibarn are much taller than the scale of their portraits on cutscenes. For example, in the art book, Ike should be up to Tibarn's shoulders, but in the game, he's up to Tibarn's eyes.

I figured that the super big characters had to be scaled down/bending over to fit within the frame, so for Gareth and Dheginsea, I scaled their body art to their portraits, and they did come out drastically taller than where Ike's portrait comes up to them. I double checked Dheginsea against Kurthnaga in The Gathering cutscene from Path of Radiance, since they were standing straight at the same height on a flat surface, and Dheginsea came out about the same size as my body art experiment.

Look at all smol my son is compared to Dheginsea Kurthnaga looks so tiny at this truer scale, much smaller than the portraits make him look in comparison to the laguz royals. For Rajaion, I decided the portrait method was good enough, and compared his portrait to Ena's, and went from there.

For Elena, I compared the scale of her only model seen in game against Greil, since they're both lying flat on the ground here, and scaled her accordingly.

So, with my double checking and triple checking completed (although maybe I needed to quadruple check, I invite you to quadruple check me), I got all the characters to scale, and then measured how tall they are without footwear boosters.

For Sanaki in Path of Radiance, I suspected that as some characters appear smaller in cutscenes, she appeared larger than she actually was. In order to get her height, there is only one time we see her model for anything, and that's at the end of Daybreaks when she goes to apologize to the herons.

I used Soren and Ike's feet to find the angle the character models were standing on and compared her to Elincia to arrive at Sanaki's height in Path of Radiance.

Without further adieu, here is the final chart I came up with. Anyone wanting straight measurements can look below the chart, where characters are listed in alphabetical order. Characters without full body art are included in the list, but were not included in the imaged height chart. I'm fairly certain that most of the characters are within an inch (2.54cm) of the height I calculated (maybe 2 or three inches for Dheginsea, Gareth, and Rajaion). Anyone without fully body art is probably near 3 inches of the final height, because of factors I cannot see, and therefore, cannot control for.

If you find anything that doesn't sound right to you, leave a comment, reblog, or ask, and I'll take another look when I have the time. By the time I had moved onto measuring the heights of characters in row two I was cackling in disbelief at how tall these people are. It's hilarious and mind-boggling.

Edit to make this much clearer: These are the numbers I came up with based on the methods that I provided above. Please do not share these numbers as canon, and if you share this image, or any part of it, on another site please make it clear in your post that the "height was calculated by a fan." Thank you, I deeply appreciate your assistance in not spreading misinformation.

(I've edited the image to add a soft watermark so crops of this shared on the internet are less likely to be misinterpreted as canon information)

me when i have 4 hours to finish a project before submission

[himblebo]

Today I wanted to: do laundry, tidy my bedroom, read, do some writing

Today I have: rotted on the couch because every time I try to move the brain zaps make me almost puke

DPXDC prompt. Field trip.

Some people would call gothamites petty, but given that most of the USA population treated them as scum, they believed that their behavior was justified.

They didn't like tourists, to put it mildly. Therefore, after learning that in their city were people on a field trip from Amity Park who could not leave Gotham for several days due to weekly escape from Arkham, the news channel immediately decided that a short interview from the guests would definitely amuse the locals. The reaction of outsiders never ceases to be ridiculous.

Reporter: ~Good afternoon~ Gotham News! May I ask you to share what you liked most about our wonderful city?

Mr. Lancer*still in a cold sweat and looks at every passerby as a potential villain*: Uh, no, me..It's so unexpected. Well, first of all, people here are very…

Danny *is high after the tasting samples Dr. Crane gave him for free and is extremely eager to share his happiness with others*,* picks a microphone*.

Danny: Gotham is the best city in the world! Like seriously, damn, I'd like to die here. Although there are constant shootings somewhere, half the time people don't even shoot at me! I haven't been this relaxed since middle school! And in the evenings, there is often such a pleasant scent of fear and despair on the streets. This fear toxin of yours is a real miracle! It's sooo good!

Sam *decides to take the initiative in her own hands before Fenton says too much*: Personally, I am very pleased with the number of green spaces you have in your city. It's nice to see that here eco-activists are really being listened to. Also, the fact that most restaurants have a thoughtful menu for vegetarians left a very pleasant impression.

Dash in his favorite T-shirt "it's not gay if he's dead": Four words. Hips of Red Hood. The fact that it is not marked in the guidebook as the main attraction of the Crime Alley is a real crime. This dude clearly never skips leg days. My respect.

Tucker: What can I say? The speed of internet here, even during villains attacks, is absolutely  unbelievable. I don't want to leave this place.

Jazz: I love Gotham! Finally, I was able to buy all the works published by Dr. Harleen Quinzel. *girl picks up an impressive stack of books* For some reason, they are not available online.

The camera points at a red-haired guy with a twitching eye.

Wes: I'm 85% sure Bruce Wayne is Batman. I have a proof and I am ready to provide it.

A girl with a "Good Guess" pin from Riddler enters and takes camera away from conspiracy theorist.

Star: Sorry, he slipped out at night and went to look for problems. Again. Don't pay any attention to him. He's always like this when he drinks more than two energy drinks in a row.

The smiles I show you are genuine.

Every moment I get to spend with you is a treasured memory.

Knowing I have someone like you around makes every single day bright and exciting.

Do I make you feel the same?

The smiles I show you are genuine.

The best part of my day is when I get to be with you, even when we're doing nothing in particular.

Without you, everything seems so cold and grey.

Do you still enjoy my company after all these years?

The smiles I show you are genuine.

Sometimes, when you're not around, a small voice calls out to me.

It tells me I'm not good enough for anything, and that you would be better off without me.

You don't actually think that way, do you?

The smiles I show you are genuine.

You're the only thing that keeps this relentless torment at bay.

If I had the choice I'd spend every waking moment by your side.

But that's not fair to you, is it?

The smiles I show you are forced.

Even when you're around, this endless screaming keeps echoing in my head, telling me to just stop.

I can't keep being a burden on you like this; you don't deserve this in your life.

Please, just let me go.

This smile I show you is genuine.

No more voices. No more restless nights. Just silence, forevermore.

You're free. To live your life. Without me weighing you down anymore.

I'm so, so sorry.
