“I loved you completely, and you loved me the same,” she said, “that’s all.” And this was the point I wanted to make. That at the end of our life, if we can say this about each other, the rest doesn't matter.

It's the love that stays.

yeah yeah that famous quote that goes along the line of “if a writer falls in love with you, you can never die” but it’s the tireless AO3 writers who pull an all-nighter writing 100k words of fix-it fics where their favorite characters live

One thing i've run up against when dealing with fandom and characters making less than ideal choices is that people seem to treat a character's decision being sympathetic, the decision being understandable, the decision being reasonable, and it being objectively the best solution for the situation, as synonymous. When those are 4 very different things.

River Joni Mitchell Blue

It’s coming on Christmas They’re cutting down trees They’re putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

so we are driving down the freeway, as you do, and i see a car out of the driver's side mirror and go "hey jo, look at the car that's about to pass us, you wanna see this" because i'm sitting behind someone doing 50 in a 60 mph zone and would get around them but again, i wanted her to see it

and jo says "well that's ominous" but looks

and what we see is:

bright red

sports car

christmas tree strapped to the roof

tree covered in christmas lights already, this is not a fresh cut tree

this is already very good! we are very pleased! this is a $100k car, good on the owner to use it to transport AN ENTIRE CHRISTMAS TREE, idk what is going on but they're living their best life

the car passes us. i switch lanes to get around the dingdong doing 50.

we see the license plate reads CLAUS.

giggling ensues. speculation starts about the driver. jo is now constructing a hallmark special where santa has a rebellious lesbian daughter--who, to be clear, still goes apeshit for christmas it's a different sort of rebellious

lane change again. i pull up alongside.

this guy is living his best life oh my god
