#gosh I hate tagging things

[squarebracket-trickster]

You can analyze your favourite writers' techniques. You all know that right?

When you read a book or fic or whatever and are blown away by how amazing the writing is you can just go, "huh, how is the writer doing this? what things are they doing to get this effect?"

And if you can't figure it out you are allowed to google it. Check out YouTube videos, blog posts, and the wealth of posts on Tumblr even. If the writer is famous enough there might even be full-length academic papers on Google Scholar or JSTOR, or even 100+ page published books dissecting their style (Tolkien, for example, if you like his style). If you still can't find the information, ask someone. Ask more experienced writers or writers who write in a similar style. Ask writing advice blogs/channels. Ask the writer/author themselves.

And if you still can't figure it out, you can keep trying things and reading similar stuff, observing until it clicks.

I just say this because, well, reading someone else's writing and feeling like yours is horrible in comparison is pretty much a universal writer experience. I see a lot a posts on Tumblr offering encouragement like, "it is okay if you writing isn't like theirs, you just have different strengths," and "actually your writing is better than you think it is, you've just been staring at it too long." And these are valid.

But also, just because you can't write like that now doesn't mean you can't learn. You don't have to resign yourself to a particular style just because it comes easier to you. It is completely okay to be happy with the style you have, but it is also okay to not be happy with it and wish you could write like your favourite writers instead.

Just... when you get that, "oh my gosh, I will never be as good as them," feeling, maybe try figuring out what it is they are doing that you like so much. Maybe being patient with yourself doesn't mean accepting that this is your best work. Maybe it means accepting that this isn't and that it will take time, knowledge, and practice to get there. But you will, you just have to keep trying.

It amazes me how people will look at my comic, that has a hw Link that’s different from LU, with a story that clearly is not connected to LU at all, and will still tag it as linked universe

Another little chapter thing. Originally I was gonna hold back on writing this part but @thebrokenmechanicalpencil’s little blurb they wrote got me thinking about it more and I have very poor self control.

This is Pre-war stuff btw.

So yeah, Sunrazor digs her own grave in this one.

Sunrazor’s expression remained neutral as she stood stock still in the dimly lit corridor, her gaze remained fixed on the empty space in front of her. The quiet of the hallway was a stark contrast to the bustling energy it usually held, the flicker of the fluorescent lights above the only sound that echoed in the otherwise still air. With the rising threat of a war on the horizon she had been finding herself on more and more shifts. Mechs didn’t feel safe, the solution seemed to be to put even more guards everywhere.

If she had her way she would be far away from here.

Both herself and Valkyrie. Sunrazor had found a ship willing to take them off Cybertron and away from the conflict, somewhere where they would be safe and out of harm's way. Maybe Sunrazor could have finally gotten her chance to explore the countless organic worlds that had always intrigued her. For the longest time that had been her only goal. To somehow find a way on a cruiser that would take her to worlds full of green. Until then she could spend her spare time in the gardens, appreciating the plant life there.

But then Valkyrie came waltzing into her life and Sunrazor’s priorities changed.

Valkyrie wanted to stay on Cybertron, she wanted to fight to preserve life here. She was planning on joining the Autobots. She was choosing a side and getting involved. Valkyrie had always wanted to be something more than some rich mech from Towers. It seemed she believed that to become a soldier was the way to go about this. It was a reckless and stupid idea.

The pastel mech had no combat experience, she had never been in a life or death situation like that before. Valkyrie had never even held a blaster in her life–Sunrazor refused to let her mess with her own, if something were to happen she would never forgive herself–Whatever had possessed her to sign up for battle was going to get her killed. Valkyrie wasn’t made for combat.

So, Sunrazor would do what she always did, what she was built for. Sunrazor would guard and protect. She would follow Valkyrie wherever she went and keep her out of trouble. Even if it meant she would never get to see those foreign worlds. It wouldn’t be worth it if Valkyrie wasn’t there by her side. Sunrazor wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she left her Conjunx alone in a warzone.

The clicking of metal footfall on freshly polished floors echoing around the empty space reminded Sunrazor what exactly she was meant to be doing right now.

Sunrazor used her peripheral vision to eye the mech as they approached, unwilling to turn her head. She kept her posture rigid and still, every part of her alert, every sensor tuned to the presence of the newcomer. It was late but not unreasonable for someone to be out. They were most likely returning to their room from a party or event.

They walked past Sunrazor, offering her a glance before stopping suddenly and doing a double take. After confirming whatever it was they were thinking about they turned to face her.

Sunrazor stared forward, outside the window, at the brilliant lights of the city below.

The mech–who was not carrying any obvious weapons–calmly approached her as if they had known each other. They sauntered over towards her until they stood just a few feet from her–close enough that she may not be able to react fast enough to disarm them if they were to pull out a knife. They smiled lazily.

“Your Valkyrie’s Conjunx right? Sunrazor was it?” He asked, leaning casually against the wall.

Finally Sunrazor allowed herself to look at him, still not moving her head, only flicking her eyes in his direction. He seemed ordinary enough–as ordinary as you could get when dealing with the elite– thin colorful plating built with elegance in mind. He seemed familiar, she had definitely seen him around before.

When she spoke her voice was steady and controlled, “Do you need something?”

“Oh, not really,” He began examining his finish, “People talk you know? Rumor going around that Valkyrie is joining the Autobots!”

Sunrazor knew better than to give him a real answer, it would only fuel the gossip. Valkyrie had talked about it, she had never confirmed, she was still undecided. She was leaning towards one side, sure, but that wasn’t Sunrazor’s news to share. She looked back out the window, “Is that what they’re saying?”

The mech nodded and hummed, “My name is Torrent, by the way, I work for the Autobots, see?” He proudly brandished a red Autobot insignia, Sunrazor glanced at it before returning her attention to the window. Torrent seemed unphased by her lack of enthusiasm, as if this kind of interaction was nothing new to him. He leaned in slightly, studying her with a curious, almost amused expression.

“I think both you and I know she’s not cut out for that kind of work,” he said in a low tone. He had leaned in even closer, uncomfortably close, closer than residents were allowed to get to the guards without a good reason. He was close enough that he had flinched back when her plating flared slightly without her consent when he spoke.

Torrent failed to get the message and his smirk only grew. He had gotten the reaction he wanted from her. He seemed far too pleased with himself. “I would have thought that as her conjunx you would try and stop her,”

Sunrazor chose to remain silent, she had no idea what he was trying to gain from this. It was safer for her to just wait until he lost interest.

“You do want to protect your Conjux don’t you?” Torrent poke smoothly, eloquently, just like other Tower’s mechs did. Unlike the others, however, it lacked the condescending tone it often held. There was something else in his voice, something that Sunrazor couldn’t name.

The guard almost laughed at the question, she would have in different company. Instead she narrowed her eyes and forced herself not to react violently to the insulting question, “Of course I do,”

Torrent smiled. “And you’ve convinced yourself to follow her haven’t you? That you can protect her,”

Sunrazor’s gaze hardened, the faintest flicker of a flare in her plating. If she could have, she would have walked away from this already, but her shift wouldn’t end for a while and she couldn’t abandon her post. The silence must have answered for her.

“And what happens when you can’t protect her?” Torrent asked, the words should have sounded crueler. Like most nobles he seemed to have the uncanny ability of making threats and insults sound like nothing.

It didn’t stop her from tightening her grip on her blaster, the momentary way her plating pressed tighter against herself. Of course she had thought about it, about what would happen if she were to fail, if she wouldn’t be enough. It haunted her, it's why she wanted to get away. What if she wasn’t fast enough?

His voice slipped into that dangerously calm as he leaned in even further. “I’ve seen mechs like you before. Loyal, obedient...to a fault. But loyalty can only get you so far when you’re dealing with real power. You’re still playing the role of protector, Sunrazor, but the game has already changed.”

Deep down she knew, Sunrazor knew he was right. She hated it. She would only be able to take so many hits before she herself would fall. Then who would protect Valkyrie? She wasn’t the strongest, or the fastest, or smartest, she didn’t have impressive firepower or tank grade plating. Sunrazor was built to protect, to wait and watch over, analyze for threats and react when needed.

There was a difference between being built for battle and being built to guard.

Torrent watched her thoughtfully as the brutal reality hit her. Valkyrie wasn’t built for combat and in a way, neither was she. Not to this degree. It would be inevitable, she would fall short and Valkyrie would suffer for it.

“I can help you,” he stated, head tilting slightly. “I’ve got connections,”

“They’re making a special little program that focuses on taking mechs like you–loyal, strong, experienced, and full of untapped potential—and it enhances everything you already have. It could make you powerful enough to truly protect her,” Torrent had leaned back after he had finished, finally giving her enough space to breathe, but didn’t pull away entirely. He watched her expectantly.

She stood there, staring out at the glowing cityscape below, trying to focus on the lights, on something other than the words that had just been spoken. But the thoughts came to her regardless. No matter how hard she tried to shield Valkyrie, there would always be threats bigger than her. There would always be enemies who could break through her defenses.

But the idea of becoming more—of being able to keep Valkyrie safe, to truly protect her in the way she needed—tempted her. Could she be more? Could she become strong enough? Sunrazor shifted slightly, her fingers tightening even more on her blaster. She didn't speak, Torrent didn't need her to.

Torrent continued, his tone almost coaxing, “A mech like you, with the right enhancements, could become a force unlike anything you’ve ever imagined. You’ll be the perfect protector. No one will be able to touch her, not with you standing by her side.”

Sunrazor’s fingers flexed around the grip of her blaster, the familiar weight of the metal grounding her. She didn’t trust him. She didn’t trust anyone who offered power like this—like it was a solution to all her problems, like it was the answer to everything she couldn’t control. But the temptation lingered in the back of her mind, a whisper that couldn’t be easily silenced.

“You already know the right answer,” Torrent said softly, his voice barely above a whisper, “There’s only one way to keep her safe, to ensure it,”

She knew what was being offered. To rise to a level where she could be the shield Valkyrie needed, without limitation, without fear. Sunrazor could be the one who always stayed one step ahead, who always protected Valkyrie from everything. Then she would be safe. And when the war ended they could move on, then they could explore what lies beyond.

Neither of them could afford to die.

The guard shifted, finally turning her head to face the other. Torrent watched her carefully. Sunrazor knew what she had to do.

For Valkyrie’s sake.

“What do I need to do?”

yknow what ive seen a lot of "gaster and chara fucking hated each other" headcanons but ive seen very little of the opposite. which to me is kinda sad bc imo its a better, more fun interpretation.

i like to imagine gaster looked at this hurt, traumatized child and saw a bit of himself in them. and so he offered them advice.

yall know the smile theory? that smiling make monsters stronger in a way? that it can stave off death, even if for a short while, etc? that *thats* the significance of it, the reason why its so tied to gaster? that could very well be the reason chara is known for their smile, too.

i nean- theyre a child who was so badly hurt they were practically obsessed with the concept of finality—a state in which they are too powerful to be hurt by anyone. i can see them not smiling almost at all when they first fell (what is there to smile about?) until they hear from gaster that a smile is protection. when you smile, others cant hurt you as bad. a smile is like armor. he smiles to stay safe because he knows all thats out there, all thats capable of harm.

and from then on chara smiles no matter what. they smile and laugh through the wordt moments. because they know now this is their armor. their protection.

i rhink they would admire gaster. his efforts for monsterkind, his advice to them. i think theyd see him as someone trustworthy (in my own personal headcanon, he knew about their and asriels plan. not fully, i mean, but he knew the lengths chara could go to. and the only reason he knew was because he would do the same. chara told him because they saw a kindred spirit)

i like to think gaster is crushed post charas death. i also like to think that, if chara remembers gaster after their "revival", *then* they would have issues. we know nothing about gaster canonically, sure, but in my own headcanon and theory world, the things he does make less and kess sense to chara, align less with their worldview and their beliefs. and only then do they clash with him. because at first he was someone they genuinely loved, someone they admired.

anyway, i think gaster thought of them almost as family. he cared for them deeply, always ready to give advice or comfort or teach them or. really anything. they would sit and talk for hours about the world and their personal philosophies and findings. i want gaster, like the dreemurrs, to be part of the loving world chara never got to experience on the surface rather than yet another enemy. you know?

Gosh, I know the drama about Lea Michele and Glee and then the drama surrounding Funny Girl revival which is such a hot mess. Beanie Feldstein shouldn't have gotten the job but nepo baby everyone!!!! Everyone raging over eventual Lea Michele casting is also woww especially because the Glee behind the scene problem was still quite fresh on public's minds.

After watching POTO then I also know Ramin is the male lead. Man, I keep gasping and wtf-ing watching the recap of the drama (as in the drama surrounding not the musical itself) on youtube videos and then reading through comments and threads on reddit. I feel slightly bad that people especially on reddit were gossiping everything about Funny Girl and they open every Ramin's cards there including the Rierra thingy which I honestly wanna know more and now I sort of know more but at what cost (sigh). I still have so many questions though but I don't know who to ask or even to talk about Rierra. Ugh, Amber Ardolino for fucks sake, I know she's an influencer but of all pics she could use as her pfp it's gotta be when she watched Harmony...haaa ofc. No wonder he took the Italy job, good for him. He looked so knackered.

I'm glad at least now it's over by the time I arrive to the fandom. He got booked af too, maybe thanks to this(?). Also, this is why you don't ship real person (but I already did anyway, several times hehe).

Rierra...ugh, I give up. I need someone to talk to. Please!!! What the hell is going on??? This is beyond the "shippers are crazy and things got blown out of proportion" problem because I've been in situation where I am the crazy shipper (and later realize it), I've also seen people crack shipping real people to disturbing level, I've shipped RP and saw it crumbling before my eyes too, and then I also in the position where I feel vindicated that my RP ship is real and going stronger and stronger whether it's right in my face or through something cryptical or easy to miss unless you look deeper. This is something different.

hmm how would we feel if i remade

[mirrorofliterature]

so, for me, the three most pivotal/important/significant relationships sirius has are with james, regulus and remus, each different and unique in their own way.

and what unfortunately happens a lot that people often downplay two of them to uplift the other. you see that commonly with wolfstar and james, or jegulus and sirius - it's the amatonormativity for me.

and (I'm not saying this is an intention of prongsfoot shippers necessarily) there is sometimes a weird line of thought that 'sirius and james were so close, they cannot have been anything but romantic!', which downplays their platonic relationship and can come off as amatonormative, because *of course there is no non-romantic explanation for their closeness*!

there are multiple explanations for multiple character dynamics, and they are often all equally valid and canonically sound.

idk man it's just. platonic relationships rule, methinks.

NOPE

NOPE

NOPE. NOPE :)

NOPE

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sadder than I have ever been

Okay that's exaggerating but

With a tv show one of the saddest xd

A MEMORIALLLLLL 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I AM NOT OKAY

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU SHAUN

I'M SORRY I LOVE YOU BUT I DO NOT CARE

Okay okay I can calm down

About that at least

I swear Shaun if you focus on other stuff even to avoid your pain I will die

Yeah I get it Lea :'(( that sucks

And yeah I am sorry Shaun xd

Yeah

Ope???

WHAT THE HECK DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS

OH GOSH that's awful o.o

Lim????

Uhhh not this time xdd 😭😭💔

Oh noooo :'(((

Bro he literally can't operate xd

Oh gosh this is all so chaotic 😭😭💔 not good stuff xd

Not gonna lie kinda angry that we have a big event to be focusing on when Asher literally just died but maybe it'll help distract me xd

Well

The Good news is

The Rookie couldn't possible go worse

Knock on wood

I'm just sitting here in silence

My gosh

Huh

Wow

Gosh xd

Okay, that's the last my last thoughts, now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

. . .

I really loved this episode!! I don't think I can ever watch it again xdd

sigh

I want to do this while my emotions are fresh (and it'll distract me) but also I don't know if I can bear to

Especially sitting here (not literally) in the emotions of it all

Maybe a quick one

Idk

He deserves better than that though also xd

Maybe quick with a longer one later?

. . . I want to just go forget about it

But I think I need to process it

Because I'm still shocked and denial

I genuinely did enjoy this episode. I thought it was really well done, and I really liked the storylines in it. And, even though I am absolutely heartbroken, I'm glad Asher at least had good final moments, and the drama his death deserved.

Here's what I'll say about what I knew.

This morning, I woke up and saw and article along the lines of "'The Good Doctor' kills of lead. . ." or something along those lines. I quickly swiped it out of the way and stressed xd. Later, another one came (and here's the surprising part that I did not mention earlier, I believe in my review of last episode) that said something similar, "'The Good Doctor' kills of. . ." (something along those lines) and then, under that, something like "Related to: Jerome Martel". Genuinely, the most likely thing I expected was for Jerome to die. I later saw another article that I quickly avoided sight wise, then covered as I scrolled by down to swipe the notification away. And I glimpsed a picture and Asher and Jerome. I really thought Jerome might die.

I'm glad he survived xd.

But I also believe I thought to myself "I'd rather anyone else. I mean, not Asher, or" and then basically thought of "okay I don't want anyone to die" xd.

Hh.

It's been 25 minutes since I finished the episode xd.

Gosh

Okay, a few quick things about other people

So, I guess,

Onto the individual parts

Dom! Missed you today buddy ❤️. Sure you're slaying, see you again soon :).

Shaun and Lea! Oof on the what's-it-called-ing Steve xd. It's rough and I think they may want to let up sometimes but hopefully it helps them <3. I also hope the complaint doesn't affect Shaun too much, but at the same time, he has been treating Charlie unfairly. Anyway, love them.

Charlie! Segway xd. I feel bad for her. She genuinely was doing really good, and she just made a mistake at the wrong moment. I think Shaun should've been calmed, but I do think she needed to learn that that was not the moment to ask. It sucks, I hate the feeling of being told that I need to stop because someone's trying to focus and I just made a mistake. But she needed to, and I think this is an iffy thing to push her over the edge and make a report. At least I hope the report is on other things, not that specific event. She had some good moments this episode though, love her.

Park! Not too much going on, but he slayed on the case :). It sucks the way it turned out for the patients :(. Also, him at the wedding was sweet :')). Love him <3.

Morgan! Again, not too much, though her conversation with Lim was hilarious lol. Poor Lim in that conversation xD. Of course Morgan's hears all the tea though lol. I also like that she defended Charlie sharing her story :). Anyway, she slayed <3. Love her.

Kalu! He slayed today too :)). Glad that he too- well, not really defended Charlie, but was kinda on her side sometimes. Like they said, they're looking out for the interns :')). I really liked the bit where he quickly explained and she was cool with that - I think it just shows that she can be worked with, if you put in the effort and listen and be patient. Anyway, love him <3.

Glassman and Lim! I'm glad they worked everything out in the end, and that it did help Lim with her mom :'). I'm thinking this was mainly for that, and also so Glassman can have someone to be with in the last season. I still think it was a funky thing to do xd, but I'm glad they're happy lol. And I think it's good what he told Lim, that she can start getting closer with her mom :')). And I'm so sorry for Lim, that she and Clay broke up :((. Her line about being alone nearly broke me (though don't worry, I just had to wait for later for that) 😭❤️. I'm glad it's hopefully going to get better <3. Love them :).

Jordan! Didn't notice till she showed up that she hadn't been there, but I'm really bad at noticing that xd. I thought it was a cool way, a good scene and stuff, of working her in :). And her advice to and conversation with Asher was so good :'DD. I do wish she was here, considering what the episode was and how close and Asher are, but I'm glad we got to focus on his relationship with Jerome. And that at least she was still here ❤️. Love her <3.

So. It's time. I'm going to talk about the rest of the episode first, and then say a little bit. Then, I'm going to go cry a bit more probably, maybe have emo thoughts, and distract myself before I go to bed xd.

Asher and Jerome!! Y'allll I loved the content we got for them this episode :'DD. I mean I hate a fight but, hey, I love angst too lol 👀 xD. Still, I love any screen time for them <3. I certainly didn't agree with Asher's wildin opinions in the beginning xD, but I was still having a fun time. And I'm glad everything worked out (regarding the fight and that stuff). Asher helping with the wedding was so sweet 😭😭😭💔❤️❤️🥺🥰. And the talk he had with the rabbi :'DD :')). I loved that, I know that feeling <3. Also AAAHHHHH their kiss after the wedding 😭😭🥺❤️. I'm not okay <3. At least they got a kiss at a wedding :')). Where the arch thing was and everything xd. Random note that I mentioned in the liveblog, I love that they cook together so much. Anyway, AAAHHHHHH JEROME WAS GOING TO PROPOSE!! HE WAS HIDING THE RING!!! AAAAAHHHHHH :DDDD WHOO 🥳🥳🥳🎊🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂!! Asher found it too 🥰🥰🥰. He was stressing, aww poor babey <33 :'(, but I'm glad he finally made peace with it and made his decision :')). Also, regarding. . . everything, I'm glad that he knew <3. Also, Asher immediately going to get Jerome a bandaid was so good <3. Loved it :')). They were seriously so good this episode, it was great :'D. I love them so much <333.

Now.

The stuff xd

I was freaking out at the end. Until that yelling (even for a half second into it), I thought it would be Jerome. I was honestly terrified as well that it was a mislead and it still would be. But even more scared for Asher.

I like that he came full circle. I think he deserved that. Deserves.

I read a few articles after finishing the episode, and one, I think something from a writer, said "His last line is "I am a Jew. A gay one, too, and I'm calling the cops" " (or something like that). That he finally truly accept both parts of himself. I'm really proud of him for that, and I'm glad that's how it ended for him <33. It also makes me think of how his literal first line was about that very thing. He grew up Hasidic, before he decided that "if there was a God, He was nothing but a cruel being that I held nothing but contempt for". Then he says "That's when I started going to medical school. And also dating men". Or, something along those lines for all of that. I like the symmetry.

I do appreciate the commentary of it being a hate crime. We as queer people, and Jewish people (though I am not Jewish) are still facing so much bigotry. But I do kinda of wish that I didn't have to see it in the show as well. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I like to just feel that catharsis, and sometimes I just want to see the good sides. That it's not a tragedy.

Like I've already said though, I do appreciate that it got the drama it deserved. Asher went out fighting for what's right, accepting himself, and standing up for people. That's kind of what he's always been about :'). He also went out with an episode that focused largely on him and his journey, along with his relationship, and he got a good music moment at the end lol. Not to mention the angst of it all. And, of course, in the next episode his funeral. Though I do wish there wasn't a huge emergency as well. But (especially with the description specifically saying they'll all be dealing with their personal tragedy as well), it should be interesting to see at least. And again, it'll distract me and then xd. I just think it would also be interesting to see them trying to go through their normal lives as if this huge thing didn't just happen.

Also, something more lighthearted lol, imagine being at a funeral and then half the guests get up and leave 💀. Even knowing they're doctors it's awkward xD, especially since they're some of the people who cared the most about him (😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️). But it's like, that's what happens when you're a doctor xD. I just find it kind of funny lol.

Anyway. I think, if he had to die, Asher went out the best way he could here. At least he was fighting for something, unlike the tragedy of Melendez's pointless death. It's still absolutely heartbreaking, but that does bring some comfort <3.

Also, in those articles, I saw that the reason Asher was killed off is apparently because Noah Galvin wanted to move on from the show.

I love you sir but I am kinda angry xD.

Nah but for real, I do understand it, and I'm happy he gets/got to go back home and stuff, but I am like ". . . it's the last season" xD. Maybe he asked before it was cancelled lol, I don't know. If that's the case that kinda upset some more, because he might have been willing to stay for just like 5-19 more episodes xd. Anyway, slightly salty about that lol (how could you do this to me Mr. Galvin <33 😭😭😭😭💔💔❤️❤️ :')) :'(( ), but I am happy for him. And he's had a great run on this show, as has Asher <33.

. .

I want to say a little bit.

I know I've said a lot xd, but something specific.

I wish Asher was still alive.

I know that's obvious, and it makes sense, but there's layers to it xd. Yes, he was my favorite characters (nearly said one of lol - he is, but my favorite in the show). Is, that is. Yeah, correcting the opposite way of what you'd expect there lol. Anyway. Yes, he was my favorite, and I absolutely wanted him and Jerome to get married. It was something I was sad about missing with the cancellation, but apparently we could have had it (which I did think of earlier xd). Or at least the engagement xd. We really tried on that one lol - we were so close xd. But, I also just wanted him to live. And I wanted to continue seeing him xd :(((. I still do.

But beyond all that, Asher means something to me. Every character in anything I love does, but he is a very specific character.

He's a character I don't have anywhere else.

We are not exactly the same. But I don't think I can express the importance to me of a queer religious character. Even though he scorned religion, even though he was no longer practicing, it meant something to me. I said a lot, especially in this episode, that I understand it. I do. I understand questioning if you can live your life in your religion and be queer. I understand doing more research than most cishet people ever have to do, finding the scriptures that cry your acceptance and not your punishment. I have watched my religious community on Tumblr receive disgusting death threats because of what we believe. I have heard my religion made fun of my friends. I have fought to defend myself and my culture and my beliefs at every turn, from queer people and religious people and people in between. I have hidden and kept quiet because I was scared.

I am very proud of Asher for what he did.

And I hope that, if I were in the same situation, I wouldn't hesitate.

But especially after an episode where I was starting to see a character that I could maybe relate to even more. A queer character who wanted to keep religion in his life, who was going to maybe re-explore it. After that, I mourn him even more.

There will never be another character that can replace Asher for me. And that, at least, is an honor to him.

Thank you Noah Galvin for giving us this beautiful, wonderful character over all these years. About 3 or 4 now, gosh xd. I truly appreciate it, more than you could ever know.

And I thank you to the writers and everyone else on The Good Doctor. Even if I am not happy with Asher's death, I have been given storylines of him for 4 seasons. I miss him already, but at least I have the time we had <333.

Asher is a passionate, strong-willed, brave, often inexperienced, and caring character. All of that is a part of him, and all of it is important to me. I love him so much 😭😭😭💔❤️ <3. And there is truly not another character like him :'). I will truly miss him, so, so much <33.

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode. I also despised it with my entire being and will not be able to rewatch that horrific ending for years xd. But I'm glad he got what he did, plot wise and drama wise. I know I've already said it a thousand times, but Asher deserves that. He deserves drama, horrific, even if I do want him to have nothing but happiness. He deserves that, he deserves to live, but he deserves to go out with the importance that he had, and I'm glad he did <3. I understand losing someone close, and I am absolutely devastated for everyone else as well :'((. I'm scared and kind of excited (for the angst and the catharsis lol) to see how everyone reacts and copes next episode. If they show me the immediate aftermath I will die, but I will love it. I will also despise it, so I'm glad that I don't think they will xd. Loves everyone this episode, I hope the Shaun and Charlie stuff gets worked out soon, and I'm glad the Lim and Glassman stuff started getting sorted out <33. And you know what? I'll say it. Asher and Jerome got engaged :')). I'm so happy for them <3. AAAHHHHH YAYY WHOOOO 🥳🥳🥳🎊🎂🎂🎂🥰😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺❤️🥰🥰. Because I can celebrate their love if I dang want to. I'm gonna miss them so much <333 😭😭😭😭🥺💔💔💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️. Nonetheless, it was a really good episode. I really loved Asher planning the wedding and the conversion ceremony, it was just so sweet of him to do that :'). And seeing him connect with his roots was great <3. I'm glad the ending- no autocorrect. no. . . lol. I'm glad the wedding worked out :). Everyone was great this episode <3.

So yeah! I absolutely loved this episode, it was so amazing. I also hate it and will never forgive it and them lol. Still, I'm hanging onto that engagement! I am so devastated and excited for the next episode. This has been my review of. . .

losing my mind sobbing on the floor (/j) as I realize this. Teddy would fucking adore that kitschy granny decor ... all the gaudy floral patterns and crocheted/knitted throws and pillows and little pot holders and dish towels... yellows and pinks and blues and greens and gingham patterns... matching tea sets ... 😭😭

Often when I see like aesthetic dark academia posts about studying classics I want to scoff and roll my eyes because I actually study ancient Greek and mostly it's trying really hard to make all your nouns and adjectives agree in prose comp and still missing one and almost crying because you can't recognise a word in a piece of verse and you can't find it listed in a dictionary anywhere. But then other times I see these aesthetic dark academia posts and I get it because truly romanticising studying classics is the only way to actually get you through studying classics
