“Why are you bullying Hal Jordan so much in this fic?” Because it’s funny. Because it’s funny and he’s not a real person.

The few snippets of dialogue I've seen from from Hermes in Hades 2 really reaffirms a core part of whatever his relationship is to Charon to me: Hermes is extremely invested in making sure Charon has someone to talk to.

Please say hi to him. Please make sure he's doing okay. Please look out for him. Someone needs to be checking in on Charon and be there for Charon when Hermes can't be.

Maybe it's because he recognizes Charon is a loner and doesn't have people who worry about him. Maybe its because he knows Charon has a hard time communicating. Maybe its because Charon is a workaholic and will put the people he cares about before himself. Maybe he just really fucking likes Charon.

Probably all of these. But I had that assumption in the first game, and I'm glad its canonized (or so it seems) in second. Hermes worries about his big skull faced man's mental and social well-being so much that he's asking the children of Hades to take some time out of their big important 'find my mom/dad' quests to make sure boatmen aren't too lonely without they speedy chatty birds.

So what are you thinking about Virgil?

What am I thinking about??

WHAT AM I THINKING ABOUT????

I’m thinking about Stan spending 30 years trying to get his brother back, blaming himself, not knowing if he was alive or not, but trying anyway over and over and over again.

I’m thinking about Stan pretending to be Stanford and how every time someone called him by Stanford it probably hurt him and made him miss his brother even more.

I’m thinking about Stan seeing dipper. And seeing him get sucked further and further into the mysteries of gravity falls, and seeing ford in him.

I’m thinking about when Mabel mentions Bill and you see Stan panic for a minute because he knows what that means. He knows he didn’t protect them well enough. He knows what’s to come.

I’m thinking about them losing the shack. And how absolutely destroyed he must have been. The last piece of his brother, ripped away from him. His only shot at getting him back, taken. I’m thinking about the way he literally jumped out of his chair at the end of season one when he sees that the portal is working again.

So, you ask what I’m thinking about? I’m thinking about Stanley Pines.

Yeah Nadja showing she cares for Guillermo and yeah Guillermo saying he loves Nandor out loud, I feel you I feel you bUT

Can we talk abt how much Guillermo Actually. Truly. Deeply. Cares for these group of misfit assholes??

He even lists Colin Robinson (as he should!) but Benji couldn't even be bothered to remember his name

And like, that's important!! Because Colin is one of them! He's a part of them. They are all a part of each other. To not love one of them is to not love them.

Guillermo is different. He does love them. He loves all of them. He loves all their silly bitchy faults. He loves things about them that have nothing to do with being 'a cool vampire' or what they can do for him. His genuine, inescapable love is what makes him different. Nadja, Laszlo, Colin, and Nandor can't not be affected by that, even though they try so hard to be.

I can't get over that this episode gave such a clear beautiful reason why these selfish, petty, dismissive, eternal beings would risk their lives to fight a whole clinic of their kind or keep a dangerous secret and try to help or hell, pretend that they don't care about that very big juicy secret just so Guillermo doesn't have to stress abt another person knowing (Colin definitely cares and probably already knows. Could he feed on Guillermo's anxiety and antics of keeping it from Nandor? ofc. But he doesn't and even lets Guillermo off the hook by indicating he both doesn't need to tell him or be bothered to try to hide it from him)

It's because of Guillermo's persistent love for them that they find the ability to love him back. It comes back to him. The love he gives to them, they give it back to him.

Look at what happened without even being a vampire: he became one of them.

Doodles from a Mad Max-y AU where Velocitron became a bunch of nomadic racing obsessed clans after a Decepticon plague of Cosmic Rust kills almost everyone, Shockwave catches it and goes into stasis for a few thousand years to prevent himself from dying (but no one comes for him) and he wakes up critically injured and amnesiac in the care of a bunch of little feral velocitronians headed by Blurr

me to Annabeth, Percy, Clarisse and the entire demigods of Camp Half-Blood: you are my baby, my dear daughter/son, i love you so much

Luke: me too? 🥺

me: no, not anymore 😔

him: unbelievable, you try to throw a child into Tartarus or kill them and suddenly you are no longer loved

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
