Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.

When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"

Or

2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.

The cutest reminder ever that the way family works in TSAMS canon is that two parties have to be in mutual agreement that they are family. If one party doesn't agree then they aren't family. Parties can revoke familial ties whenever they want and that means they are no longer family.

"Code Relation" theory is stupid because you're then implying that Eclipse is Sun and Moon's child. Which he isn't. Or that Killcode is somehow Moon's child and his brother at the same time that he's Eclipse, Lunar and Bloodmoon's "father" at the same time that they're Sun and Moon's grand children. Like, we're seeing the issue here, right?

Don't make things more complicated than it has to be. Just accept the fact that family is literally determined by a verbal agreement between two animatronics and nothing else because none of them were born from wombs. That means respecting canon when characters in canon decide that they aren't comfortable being family (like Eclipse) or just straight-up disown everyone (like Bloodmoon). It's okay to have headcanons, but don't try to push them onto canon.

We live in a world where Gordon's siblings and cousins personalities are up for grabs in terms of interpretation, so everyone has that one chosen sibling/cousin who is The Insufferable Bitch Of All Time™ and I think that's magical.

Anyway, my version of Gordon essentially served as an educator/parental figure for his baby siblings up until he was brought to Sodor, with the majority of them being fairly amicable to him (some bonds were stronger, some inevitably drifted apart), and the later generations being more indifferent because they only had stories of him (and were 'raised' by the much older siblings that he nurtured).

The situation varies more with his cousins, since they were more familiar with Great Northern than they were Gordon.

On Ryan's side of the family, there's a good deal of respect since Gresley Tank Engines were taught to be mindful of their tender engine contemporaries and their "sensibilities" (it wouldn't do to sully the Gresley name by having an internal class war), while on Spencer's side it's... Well... Err...Very very complicated.

The sense of superiority that Mallard brought on after he broke Flying Scotsman's speed record tipped the balance, and put a bit of a strain on both sides of the coin so to speak... In fact, the one A4 that has shown any sense of respect for Gordon or any of his late (and still living) siblings is Sir Nigel Gresley. It's hard to get a read on the others since they'd rather be scrapped than show genuine emotion/vulnerability.

Apart from TeuTemp being a tragic duo, Francis and Gabriel are equally tragic to watch. They were something like cousins, but grew up almost like brothers. At least they had to be close and it was the one kind of relationship Gabriel could've called a "family". And their close bond broke apart in the last few decades before Gabriel's death.

There was much manipulation going on around Francis (influence of the Capetian court and their narrative of the story around the Templars and the papacy etc) and those two boys were just easily influenced teens. Their relationship couldn't withstand the mess that was going on during their time. And despite Francis' inner conflict and switching back in forth about who to trust and what is true, their bond was already doomed. It broke both of their hearts, changed the image they had of each other forever and even if Gabriel would come back in a Revival AU, everything would stay shattered between them. Even IF Gabriel would maybe forgive him if he knew the full story around Francis.

Because in the end Gabriel would've still died at the hands of the man he called a brother.

man.... poor cressida, eloise totally ditched her in her time of need :( and then her life went to shit

i was hoping for a good outcome for her story, but the writers really just shoved her back into the mean girl role to move the plot along :/

i really liked her speech to colin about how different they are because her family doesn't support her, cuz the bridgerton's make bad choices all the time that cause society to look down on them, but they always bounce back (and don't start shipping off children to the country to avoid further ridicule)

i really liked how they had all the featherington's reconcile and explicitly try to be more supportive of each other, like a whole women supporting women storyline, but then the writers fucked over cressida so horribly 😭

dc in the 80s: we’ll get rid of kara zor-el so kal could be the only survivor of krypton. that will make him truly alone. we will also make him feel human and have him reject krypton so it doesn’t even matter if he is the last kryptonian left. he doesn’t care.

Have you ever thought of Sugarbaby! Chloenette or Wenclair? Both canoncaly have a rich girl who could spoil their sugarbaby gf with gifts

A lot of times, yeah. But it's the usual 'Oh my god don't spend a thousand dollars on me on one day????' and Marinette/Enid trying to stop their girlfriends from spending a dizzying amount of money because??? How???? Also the prices makes one faint.

Chloe joked once that as payment Marinette should call her Mommy. Marinette was still dazed from all the purchases her mind was on autopilot and the word 'Mommy' slipped in a not very innocent way. And so, Chloe accidentally brought a whole franchise that day. Accidentally.

Wednesday is an Addams and no expenses shall be spared. Her and Chloe are very similar in the 'want to spoil my girlfriend but must be careful to not give her an early heart disease' but her gifts are with an Addams twist. The expensive gift giving mostly comes from Enid's favorite merch, tickets and the 'occasional' frequent high quality meat. There's also the stuffed toys everytime the blonde is sad, shopping sprees by Thing because she will not die by a sea of colors and neons, dates and her favorite,

"Wednesday, no. You will not pay the judge to win a case against murdering my mother!"

She's offered twelve times now (yes, she's counted) and maybe the thirteenth one will be a yes...

Are we going to talk about the thinly veiled ableism towards high support needs autistic adults who frequent websites like deviantart for their hyperspecific non-fandomizable special interests, infrequent hygiene practices, “weird fetishes”, that are all clearly shaped by an experience with neurodiversity that is foreign to all y’all rebranded Asperger’s supremacists

Each time I think I’ve finally become normal about This Fucking Family my brain comes up with shit like “Hey have you noticed how much Liba looks like young Sunat?” and now I want to throw up

[treesbian]

hey general public. if someone is fostering your cats for you while you're between homes + you were unexpectedly homeless for like 3 weeks + you haven't been able to get to housing that will allow your pets to come with you yet, and you're in regular contact with that someone discussing those cats and paying for their care needs, and then that someone messages you saying they decided they're just going to keep your pets because they decided that's what's best for them, that's stealing, right? that's stealing? the general public of reasonable people in the world agree that that is theft? yes?

that's what these bitches did to my godsister fuck them!!! but they got threatened with criminal theft charges and handed them over ^_^ and my aunt already pressed trespassing charges on them lol. but when I texted them to yell at them about it they lied saying they never stole any cats but like. what they did was stealing. my mom had to take it all the way up to the police but I kind of don't feel bad because it was their own damn fault. I hope their lives aren't ruined forever but I do hope they learn what a consequence is
