that part in the silt verses finale where carpenter is describing how she takes care of faulkner's body then releases him to the river and méabh de brún starts crying broke me.

I Can’t Help But Wonder

Odysseus, who just violently and mercilessly murdered 108 or so men, who claims in the next song that he’s no longer a kind or gentle man, actively listens to Telemachus and kindly and gently responds to everything his son’s expressed.

Telemachus asks, “Am I like you? Am I strong like you? Will you embrace me? Will you love and accept me as yours?” He says, “I’ve felt so alone.”

And Odysseus claims him in a heartbeat, answering, “My son. My boy. My sweetest joy I’ve ever known. I embraced you twenty years ago. I’d do the impossible for you. I’d die for you.” He says, “Seeing the men here today, I can only wonder what you’ve been through for twenty years. My son, you’re already strong. You’re my own. You’re not alone. I’m home.”

And then they fucking embrace.

boys cry. real men weep.

OKAY OKAY BUT

What if Shellfish Crew met Grunkle Stan, Grunkle Ford and kid Mabel and Dipper (AND SOOS)

Grunkle Stan: Damn kid…you definitely have it rough, here have a Pitt cola and sit down with me out on the porch

Shell Stan: *internally* WHY THE BELGIUM WAFFLES DOES HE LOOK LIKE DAD?!?! AM I GOING TO LOOK LIKE DAD?!? GOD, AM I GOING TO LOOK AND THE MIRROR AND SEE DAD’S CORPSE EVERYTIME I—-

Grunkle Stan: Hey Kid, *lightly taps Shell Stan’s head*

Shell Stan: *FLINCHES*

Grunkle Stan: *sighs* Take it easy alright? No one here’s going to hurt ya.

Shell Stan: You…look like Dad.

Grunkle Stan: *takes a shot of his cola and winces* Yeah…Ha uh I suppose we do.

Shell Stan: Did he…

Grunkle Stan: Yeah kid, he did… he…he was a real piece of work.

Shell Stan: I…*shaken breath* He… He… I killed him.

Grunkle Stan: … hm

Grunkle Stan: Well, that’s a first. But it’s not like I’m one to judge. That’s a pretty heavy thing to deal with, at your age. I’m sorry, you had to go through that.

Shell Stan: Wha…What?

Grunkle Stan: You’re what? Around Dipper and Mabel’s age? And you had to go through dealing with murder, abandonment, and the streets. You’re a strong kid, but it’s shame the world has hardened you into that. That you feel like you can’t let down your guard anymore, that you can’t allow yourself, to be well, you. Because fuck thinking your selfish kid, you’re 15. You should be making mistakes recklessly, not having to worry about anything but teenage drama. *he gently flicks Shellfish Stan’s forehead*I was kicked out at 17, two years older than you by that old bag. And I had to learn how to do nothing but survive. I guess it’s just heartbreaking that there’s a another version of me who was forced to do it earlier.

Sure, there might be a even younger version of us, remembering the 3 buck Stan incident, that’s out there. However the point is kid, life is short and as an old man, I fully advise you to make the best of it.

You got only one life kid, don’t spend it, on everyone else around you.

Roier: I love you. You're the best Egg.

Jaiden: You're gonna grow to be big and strong, Bobby!

Happy 1 year birthday to the original QSMP Eggs and my favorite little guy of all time, Bobby! Here are some highlights of Roier and Jaiden's first interactions with Bobby. 🥲💙

extremely important question do any buffy fans here actually like angel (the series not the character) because i swear all i see lately is people saying it sucks and they couldn't get through it and it's like you can't ALL be that wrong

[sunbloomdew]

the way to the moon is about holding on (to the promise you don't even remember making, to the person you loved, to the life you never got to live but refuse to give up). it's johnny choosing to be with river time and time again, it's johnny holding on to all the paper rabbits river made even if he didn't know their significance, it's river keep trying to remind johnny of their shared past, it's river giving up her treatment so a place that means the world to her is protected, it's eva and neil trying their hardest to send johnny to the moon, it's eva taking the risk in hopes of making it

the way finding paradise is about letting go (of your mistakes, of the unrealistically perfect life you never lived, of the person who helped you through your darkest times but who now keeps you stuck in the past). it's colin letting go of faye despite being afraid, it's colin keep replacing pages in his book with new ones, it's faye knowing that colin never needed sigmund's help, it's faye telling colin he has to let go of her if he wants to live fully, it's neil and eva trusting faye despite what it means for them, it's neil taking the risk in hopes of making it

Ah yes, one of my favorite genres of baby full score trio pictures: Isabella being openly affectionate toward Emma and Norman in front of Ray while being hands off with him.

Do we think odysseus started pranking Athena and her temples at some point? Because I do. He argued that it was good for sneaking and evading training. And you know what Athena couldn't argue that. Her chasing odysseus across the island was good training.
