not an apologizer but a contextualizer. yes the character did that but please understand the Circumstance. yes they had other options but they had to make this choice in a sea of available bad choices. and also it made the narrative more interesting. won't anybody think about the narrative!!!!!

neil going “kiss? kiss, now? kiss?” 1 inch from andrew’s face every time he wants attention, like those cats who meow directly against your face when they are bored.

My wife (ao3) lying in her hospital bed (down for maintenance) as I hold her hand lovingly, waiting for the moment she wakes again (waiting for ao3 to go back up).

if laura lee were still here, witnessing lottie walk on water over a spiked trap that gravity should’ve pulled her into literally would have just solidified to her that lottie is god. she would be so obnoxious about it too. she’d probably fall to her knees before lottie, and there’d be adoring tears in her eyes as she looks up at her, and laura lee would demand that everyone worship her girlfriend, and—

“The innocence died with Laura Lee” I’d argue if Laura Lee was around everything would be so much worse. She believed Lottie was a prophet and her visions were messages from god she would absolutely enable everything they did because she would truly believe it’s what god wanted. Laura Lee believed in Lottie’s visions when there was no reason to whatsoever. Imagine how she would act once Lottie started getting things right. She probably would’ve had deep religious psychosis and be the most deranged out of all them. I think it’s what makes her so interesting her already unwavering faith tied with the wilderness and what it turns them into is just so interesting to think about. But unfortunately we’ll never know. Rip my crazy queen you had so much potential 😔

everything starts and ends with kevin day. do you get it? everything starts and ends with kevin day. of course everything has to start and end with kevin day it could never be any other way

he’s an asshole. he’s the kindest friend you will ever have. hes an alcoholic health freak. he’s a heartless machine that only cares about playing stickball and has little interest in real people. he will make outstanding efforts to never ever ever have to be alone for even one second. he’s half of a duo. he wishes he could stand on his own. he mourns a man that no one else on earth loved (even though no one on earth has been as hurt by that man as him). he knows you will die and he does nothing to even attempt to stop it– he still makes sure your remaining time is the best time anyone’s ever had. he leaves you even though he’s all you have, but he never stops sending you postcards, he never stops trying to save you. he promises you he will find you a purpose in life, and he always finds it. he always finds it.

i would not trust aaron minyard as my doctor. but only for the same reason that if i heard my surgeon was called dr. c ronaldo and showed up looking identical to famous sports person cristiano ronaldo i would be a bit concerned that the neurosurgery was just like. his side gig

Nicky said the twins chose to study German because Nicky could help them pass, and I don’t doubt that was part of it, but I wonder if they chose it as a sort of apology, too. We’re sorry you left Germany to take care of us; we’ll learn German so you have something of it to bring home with you. And their fluency is interesting, too. Two years of foreign language in high school won’t get you that far, and none of them are studying it in college, so I wonder if they used German at home a lot, to make Nicky miss it less? To make him feel more at home with them?
