But also consider: Hera being soft to Athena because she also feels guilty for what happened. She feels guilty that she did nothing to stop it, or help to try find another solution to the dilemma. Maybe even guilt over feeling a bit of relief after Zeus did what he did?

Remember, is not just Zeus who could be paranoid about the idea of a new future war incoming and even more so from his own offspring.

Thinking about Rio and hurting bad.

Thinking about the love she had for Agatha, a mortal, a love so strong that Rio was willing to bend her own rules—the sacred balance—just because Agatha said one thing.

“I will hate you forever.”

Rio knew that there was nothing to stop what was coming. She did not want to do it, she had no choice. It was the way of life and so was the way of death. It was the way of Rio’s very own being.

And yet Agatha still rejected her. Everything that Rio stood for and everything that Rio ever was, over something that she had absolutely no control over.

Can you imagine how painful that would be?

Still she stood there and took everything Agatha threw at her.

And Rio did try to find a way to work around, she offered time. For Agatha, for Nicky. And for herself.

She bought time for both of them to delay the most unthinkable. For Agatha, it was the death of her (their) son; and for Rio, nothing was more unimaginable than the loss of Agatha’s love and affection.

It was the greatest gift and blessing Death could ever offer to anyone.

Agatha would get what she wanted, at least for a while. She would welcome their son to the world and live out possibly the happiest moments of her life. But for Rio, it was a countdown to the darkest and most sorrowful time ever known to her.

And Agatha would never know any of that.

So, I once read a comment, I forgot from where, and it was many months ago, maybe at the beginning of me diving headfirst into this fandom. The comment pretty much shattered my heart, but at that time, I agreed.

Paraphrased, it basically said that we all know that in a room full of people, Jess would pick her. No doubt, he'll go to her. But the same thing can't be said for Rory.

See, even the previous gifs, in that specific sentence, it's Jess who is shown to have this big feeling for her, this love which he holds for years. I was still new back then, and I agreed, maybe because of my still lack of content and knowledge I've gathered. And now... I actually still don't know. Would she? Pick him in a room full of people?

Oh, and disclaimer, maybe for Rory's room the obvious choice is Lorelai, her literal mother and best friend, so maybe other than her, okay? :)

I'm making a poll now because my heart is sad and I kinda want to be convinced that she would even though I still think the chances are slim. So, please?

Jess would've, no doubt. They're the kinda pairing that you'd think when you listen "If The World Was Ending You'd Come Over Right?" for sure.

"you good?..."

N stares at the pit. He holds his own hand, his wings draped over his back like a blanket. He seems to will for it - for Uzi to crawl back out and back to his arms where he can keep her safe. They could keep each other safe. He finally breaks his gaze from the pit, the lights on his visor refreshing until they got stuck in a wheel of death. N keeps his back to Tessa, “It’s just us,” he mumbles, “J, V, Cyn, and Uzi. We couldn’t..” his voice cracks.

he grew up believing in santa, even though his dad never really did anything to celebrate christmas.
