Queen Of The Burrow

Because I think that’s such a distinction between Tommy and Ellie at that point. It’s made clear that Ellie is trying to move on. She’s not succeeding, and I think that’s important to acknowledge (because I see so many people who get worked up abt how could Ellie leave the farmhouse, and I get it, but it’s so incredibly obvious she’s not coping) but I think it’s equally important to acknowledge that she was clearly trying. She was surprised by Tommy coming back with a location. Dina spoke with such confidence that “we’re done with all that” - Ellie and Dina have clearly spoken, and I do think they believed they were on the same page. Ellie was trying, and I don’t think she often gets enough credit for that.

But Tommy was the one who rolled in with that map, who pushed at that wound because he couldn’t let it go. And the fact that he and Maria were separated, imo, tells us a lot about Maria’s tolerance of that. She was able to tolerate and even enable them going off to Seattle, and imo, she was clearly not going to separate from Tommy due to him going to Seattle (“bring my dumbass husband back in one piece”), but after Seattle, with Tommy clearly not trying to move forward - she was able to say “we’re done.”

hi, all.. i know that a lot of our focus is on the BlackLivesMatter movement atm (which is wonderful and should’ve happened a long time ago), and i hate to distract you from that, but there’s something horrible happening in my country, the Philippines (yes, the one being lead by the so-called Filipino version of Donald Trump), right now.

our national government has passed a bill that’ll essentially take away our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and fair trial. it’s called the Anti-Terrorism Bill, but we’ve dubbed it Terror Bill. here’s a summary of what it entails:

if you want to read the actual bill in its entirety, here’s a link to the official Senate of the Philippines website, where you can download a pdf copy. i’d like you to keep in mind the political climate in our country, though, and just how rampant corruption and police brutality are here.

it has already been passed by the Senate; all it needs is the House of Representatives’ approval, and it will be enforced. if you want to help stop this from happening, here are a few ways:

sign and share this petition. we’re so close to 300,000 signatures!!!

send e-mails to the Office of the President and the Senate. there’s an e-mail protest currently going on. i have qualms about copy-pasting the message, but ultimately, this method is a lot more effective than petitions:

these posters were made and posted by @tentenyukki on twitter.

educate yourself about the bill and how it will affect us when it’s approved. here are some news articles, editorials, and thought pieces to get you started:

🗞 gov’t endorsing/defending the bill: 1, 2, 3, 4

🗞 reactions to the bill’s passing: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

spread the word. on social media, our tags are #JunkTerrorBill and #JunkTerrorBillNow, but don’t stop there; tell your friends and family. please. people need to know this is happening.

your help could save the lives of millions of Filipinos, and we’d really, really appreciate it. i don’t usually ask for much, but when it comes to urgent issues like this, i can’t stay silent. unlike with BLM, i can speak my truth about this because i know personally what it’s like to be a Filipino citizen and to live in the Philippines. i hope it’s heard, and we keep an ounce of what little dignity we have as a “sovereign” country and rights as a “sovereign” people.

some of you might unfollow or get mad because this isn’t strictly studyblr content, but it’s not about aesthetic right now. i need your help. we need to hurry.

“a new life” is a slice-of-life, bittersweet visual novel about connection and letting go. It’s your classic love story: Meet, marry, grow old. But when your loved one hurts you, what do you do? Is it better to love and be hurt, than never love at all?
