Still watching the credits roll, but: She fought for them. She saw it all beforehand, saw her part through, but refused to let theirs end as foretold. Because she loved them. Her memory - physical and not - lead them all the way to the discovery of their own fate. And she committed her boys' story to stone and wood.

And after that, she left her love his own story. How it started and how it will go on. She painted him in her colour. He is worshipped. He is loved. He will know what that kind of love feels like. He has a role - one he never imagined, but one he will take. He has a reason to live.

To grieve deeply is to have loved fully. Open your heart to the world as you have opened it to me and you will find every reason to keep living in it.

He has a path. Both of her boys do.

#all her lines are amazing #and I'm still reeling #she knows. she knows exactly how much time is left. how much they don't know. how much they'll suffer #she leaves them words she hopes will serve them and does all she can to keep them safe after she's gone #her palm on a wall in Jotunheim. the way her breath shakes as she marks the last tree.#how hard it must be to accept her own fate without her loved ones and yet the determination in avoiding theirs #god.#the way he's relunctant to give her a pyre and would have entombed close to him. the way he never considers disrespecting her wish.#how preciously he holds her memories. how seriously he trusted her words even if he didn't understand them at the time.#i have just. so many feelings about them. the devs could not have gone better about honoring her memory in this game than they did #i am overcome #the knives. the axe. the bow. the sachet which held her ashes. the pieces of her they carry with them. memory and protection.#fuck I'm going to cry again #god of war spoilers #god of war #gow spoilers #twilit posts #''you prepare for a distant future. there is much time ahead of us.''#her silence #''i wish to *better* a future... that will exist without me whenever that day comes''#godddddd she says it with all the letters in it but they'll only find out so much later how much she meant them!!!#sony santa monica you've outdone yourselves #update from the next day: i just realized he might not be fond of the idea of cremating her because he has literal ashes on him #not a good reminder to his past mistakes :(#and also i forgot to mention here that when I was watching kratos looking at the mural i was bawling my eyes out-#repeating ''he is worshipped. he is loved'' over and over #god that scene will stay with me
