MOVED !

the fact that following his death, ben would have wanted may to be happy and would have wanted her to move on and find love again? it upsets me !!!!!

ben and may really are the mom and dad from easy a huh......like seriously.....

when ben and may we’re dating, at the point where they weren’t quite ready to say “i love you” yet, they would substitute it with “elephant shoes” as a clever bit of wordplay. it basically became their “thing” and they said it so often that anything else would be confusing. and on the day that may told him “i love you” for the first time, poor ben was like “what??? don’t you mean elephant shoes??? what????”

concept: peter trying to come out to ben like “i have something to tell you...i’m-” and ben just interrupts and goes “adopted?! who told you?!?!” and peter through his giggles is like “no!!!” but the joke is able to put peter at ease and when he finally gets it out ben’s like “okay, i love you, remember to take the chicken out of the freezer okay?”

peter is ben’s nephew by blood, but peter is his son. ben put his heart and soul into raising this kid, he gave up EVERYTHING to give him the best life he could, he hadn’t even been sure if he wanted kids of his own before richard and mary died, but the moment that custody of peter had been transferred to him and may, he didn’t even HESITATE, not for even a moment. and it’s just so sad and beautiful.

haha, the fact that ben had to push aside his own grief and depression following the death of his brother and sister-in-law in order to be there for their son? upsets me
