Agatha and Oliver.

man, I can't believe I haven't posted an explanation for this reference yet.

HOKAY.

so a few months ago I went off on a rant about Hellcheer (rant makes it sound so negative...let's go with 'impassioned speech (that if spoken aloud to another person, would probably make that other person start nervously looking for the nearest exit)'--or 'impassioned speech' for short :D. ), and I compared them to 'Agatha and Oliver,' and then I left it at that b/c the post was already INCREDIBLY long, and I didn't think any potential reader had the patience to stick around and listen to me go off on yet another topic that's only somewhat connected to the original subject (i.e., Hellcheer and why I believe that if they'd had even a smidgen more time, they would have loved each other so. fiercely.).

So anyway here's the explanation!

so, there's this writer, who has a channel on YT. Sometimes he makes videos where he's meditating on the human condition, and about science and space and time and relativity, and sometimes he writes and narrates unique and bittersweet original stories.

This is one from the latter category:

THIS is what I'm referencing every time I'm talking about 'Agatha and Oliver.'

specifically this bit: "2 of just 34 humans in the world, actually suited to pairbond in a manner that would almost always be nice, and never fall into contempt."

(but I wanted to bring up the whole video because you need to understand the whole context between the star, and why it exploded backwards in time, and how it got there, and who sent what there, and...

"came all this way, just to come home again."
