"I’ll fill you in on all the details later, but I’ve been walking in the freezing cold for hours basically naked and my apartment is vacant now because I died and I have nowhere else to go,” Charlie rambled on, his voice wavering slightly. “So please just let me in, dude.”

All winter, we got carried away over on the rooftops. Let's get married.

another comrade joined the dead dad club and my god my god all i ever think about when this happens is how we as a society have been so underserved when it comes to learning how to grieve

[tilltheworldblowsup]

rewatching death and all his friends and the thing that stands out to me?

how selfish Meredith is.

april, who’s just witnessed her best friend die, her boss get shot and been held at gunpoint, cries? Meredith tells her to shut up.

cristina, trying to operate on Derek while held at gunpoint with her own husband bleeding out on the floor? Meredith tells her not to stop operating.

it’s like she exists in this bubble of “I have it worse than everyone else”

Kevin McKidd in Grey's Anatomy (2005) Death and All His Friends

S6E24

With the crisis unfolding, each character is put through extreme trials and tribulations. Cristina is put under pressure to save Derek, who has been shot. Arizona and Callie reinstate their relationship after Callie decides she doesn't want to have a baby if it means she can't be with Arizona, while Arizona decides she doesn't want to prevent Callie from becoming a mother. Owen realizes he loves Cristina and chooses her over Teddy, while Lexie confesses her feelings to Alex. Bailey tries to save Charles, who has been shot by Gary, but ultimately fails due to the police shutting down the hospital elevators. Gary walks into the OR where Cristina and Jackson are trying to save Derek and tells them at gunpoint to stop operating on him. Jackson disconnects the heart monitor from Derek so it looks like he is flatlining. Gary is fooled into thinking Derek has died and leaves. Unfortunately, Meredith is also fooled and the shock of thinking her husband is dead is enough to trigger a miscarriage. Gary ends up in the room his wife died in with one bullet left. Webber, realizing Gary's actions are partly his fault due to his mishandling his wife's illness, enters the room. Gary admits that his plan was to save enough bullets to kill Webber with one and himself with another, but now he doesn't know what to do. Webber says he has a choice: either kill him and go to prison or shoot himself and be reunited with his wife. Outside, a gunshot is heard and Webber grimly walks out...

*Every episode of the show is named after a famous song. "Death and All His Friends" is from the album 'Viva la Vida' by Coldplay.

Personal Experience with Death and all his Friends.

The soft quiet piano plays away and his ethereal voice begins to carry it away “All winter, we got carried away, over on the rooftops, let's get married…”. I can’t help but think that our lives are too short to be carried away and that we should live it to the fullest. That we might try and worry at the end, was it enough? Who knows! All we can do is live and love those around us.

I spent too much time trapped in my own mind. It's funny to think, if we are made in God’s image, does he too get trapped in his own head? We are born, we live, and we die. It's a difficult pill to swallow, that we rush through life to worry in the end, to feel anger, sadness, guilt, and every other feeling. I’ve spent too much time trapped in my own mind!

“All summer, we just hurried. So come over, just be patient, and don’t worry…” I think summer is our life the part where we can do things, not a child and not a feeble person in their twilight years, stating that we just rushed around we hurried. Though his ethereal voice reassures us, that we just gotta be patient, and don’t worry, just come over and enjoy it. 

All I could ever do was think, and work, and move. It never dawned on me, that I COULD stop. That I COULD enjoy my time. That I COULD do what I loved. It felt as though life was just motions that we’re supposed to do. That humanity had been removed from humanity. It dawned on me that, I was made to be human. I was made to experience. Experience love and grief, happiness and sorrow, anger and forgiveness, not just bleakness, not just the motions. The beat picks up, and the piano is gone, replaced with drums and other instruments, it’s still slow compared to many things, and his voice is joined by all of his friends. “No, I don’t wanna battle from beginning to end. I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge. I don’t wanna follow Death and all of his friends…”  I like to think it's a fight against a cycle of pain. That pain that Death and all of his friends bring anger, sadness, and hatred. It’s saying that we need to break free of the chains that bind us, that we, humanity, must break free from the violence and destruction that we bring upon ourselves.

When I walked through the valley of the Shadow of Death, I was blind, but I reached out and found a rod. His name was Jacob, he showed me the sun exists outside this valley. That it can be traversed, and that those trapped in it don’t have to follow Death and all of his friends. He helped me break the cycle of my struggles. For the first time in a long time I cried, I experienced an emotion. I could talk to him, and the bleakness was replaced by immense sadness, then anger at myself. I was angry that I was rushing through life, instead of experiencing it. 

This song, “Death and All His Friends” by Coldplay helped me in the darkest time of my life. It’s profound how lyrics to a song can help you see the cycle you place yourself through. In my case, it was a spiraling cycle of depression but the lyrics resonated with me, as it’s true. No one wants to follow Death and all of his friends. It helped me get help, to finally break the cycle I induced onto myself, as the lyrics suggest, I don’t want a cycle of recycled revenge. I can finally be patient and not worry, I can finally sit and rest and enjoy life.

Danny had been Reborn into the Wayne family. The Wayne's belive that Danny has many imaginary friends what they don't know is that they are all ghost that come to play with the Reborn king.

The Wayne family become varied worried when Danny would hold funerals for his imaginary friends at first they thought that Danny was just out growing them and was killing them off. They did not like that he was killing them off especially considering that a lot of them have violent ends some examlps are

Boxy was cushed to death when he was looking for a small box

Cujo who was a guard dog that was put down because the people had no more use for him

Ember McLain who was a rock star and die in a house fire

Johnny 13 and Kitty who died in a motorcycle accident after being run off the road by a angry driver

Nicolai Technus who loved anything and everything electronic died by electrocution

Sidney Poindexter died because he was locked and forgotten in a locker

Skulker who loved to hunt die in an hunting accident

Youngblood who like to play pretend and died becuse he was left in the hot car with his pet

After the funerals they wold see him play and talking to the imaginary friends and around the time he started to give them funerals he also started supposedly started to do things that his friends told him to do some examples

Nocturn who ask for Danny to put them all to sleep luckily they caught him before he could drug them all but he got to Tim and Dick

Evergreen who asked him to grow some plants for him they found out that Danny had managed to sneak off the manors ground find poison ivy bring her back and started having her help plant flowers and other plants.

Clockwork who told Danny that if he could get all the clocks and bring them to Bruce's office he would show him a secret, the secret was the entrance to the Batcave were they would find Danny in. When the Wayne were collecting the clocks they noticed that they all had specific times. They're starting to worry that Danny's friends aren't so imaginary

Fun fact! This was the real tipping point that made Edgeworth run away after AA1, they just couldn't show it on screen because they didn't have the rights to Chappell Roan's music <3

(A spiritual successor to my "Hot to Go" joke from this post. Image description under the cut below)

[Image ID: a four page black and white comic of characters from ace attorney.

The Judge stands solemnly at his podium holding a gavel "Mr. Miles Edgeworth, you are on trial for the murder of blah blah blah..."

A cheerful Maya Fey leans over to Miles Edgeworth, who is staring straight ahead and looking very concerned

Maya: "Psst! Mr. Edgeworth! If you win your trial, can I show you Chappell Roan?

Miles: "What the hell, sure." Internally he thinks "Oh God I am going to jail"

A box saying "later" in the top corner of the next panel marks the passage of time.

The Judge smiles as he says "I declare you... Not Guilty!"

We see a full body shot of Maya dancing excitedly while Miles looks on, emotionless

Maya: YIPPEE omg you're going to LOVE this

Miles internally thinks "oh no, the consequences of my actions.

We see Miles standing in between Phoenix Wright and Maya looking apprehensive. Maya beams in excitement, while Nick puts a reassuring hand on Miles' shoulder

Miles: Alright, so what is this exactly?

Nick: She's a pop musician Maya really likes

Maya: You promised you'd let me show you, and it's legally binding because you said it in a court room!

Miles: That is not how the law works Ms. Fey

Maya: Shh just listen!

We see a panel of Miles' pensive face concentrating as he listens to "Hot to Go". He thinks to himself "hm".

Another panel zoomed in more. His pensive expression has grown more tense/confused as he listens to "Red Wine Supernova". he again thinks to himself "Hm" in a larger thought bubble.

We zoom out again to see Nick, Miles, and Maya standing together again. Miles stares forward blankly, eyebrows raised. Maya excitedly leans in.

Maya: Ok, that's her whole discography. So! What did you think?

Nick looks at him, waiting for his response

We get a panel of Miles, looking bewildered. He starts to speak "I..."

We cut again to see the three of them standing together.

Miles: I... don't think I like women?

Miles looks shocked and confused. Nick is bent over laughing, using a hand on Miles's shoulder to support himself. Maya looks outraged and appalled!

Maya: MR. EDGEWORTH! Just because you don' like her musi it doesn't give you an excuse to be sexist!

We see a panel of Miles looking stressed and confused. He leans his head on one of his hands, which messes up his hair, showing how he isn't his normal put together self.

Miles: I should rephrase that. What I mean is, Ms. Roan is clearly VERY assured in her feelings towards women. I was... unaware that anyone felt that strongly. I thought we all viewed these things with a vague sense of distaste and unease but collectively ignored it. Like how we do with climate change.

We zoom out again to see the three of them. Miles stands in the middle looking deeply uncomfortable and lost in thought, vibrating with unease. Nick and Maya exchange deeply concerned glances across from him.

With lingering unease, Miles begins to walk away.

Miles: Well, I should be going then. Goodnight.

Nick hesitantly raises a finger to point out an inaccuracy in that statement

Nick: It's four in the afternoon-

he gets interrupted by Miles who repeats firmly: I said Goodnight

Nick looks in the direction Miles walked off in.

Nick: ...He'll be ok, right?

Maya reassures him: Of cours Nick! I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

Jump cut to a closeup of Nick's hand holding Miles' letter which reads Miles Edgeworth chooses death in all caps. Then, below in smaller font, it says Also femininomenon was really good, thanks.

We see a panel of Nick glaring wordlessly at Maya as he holds the letter in his hand. Maya leans against the wall and looks away, whistling, trying to look innocent to avoid blame.

As a bonus, we also have a page that takes place a year later. Miles and Nick stand talking. Miles looks calmer now, and Nick smiles encouragingly.

Miles: In my time in Europe, I've been examining myself and my approach to law. Ultimately, the most important focus must be justice. We owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve

Nick: Wow, that's really inspiring Edgeworth. And, uh, hows the... the other thing going?

We get a zoomed in panel of Miles glaring menacingly at a suddenly nervous Nick

Jumping out again, Miles turns his back to Nick as he continues to talk

Miles: So as I was saying, justice is truly so important...

Nick nervously rubs the back of his neck wearing an awkward expression as he sweats nervously. He thinks to himself internally "Ooookay then, clearly still working through some things there"
