[ cw: death mention / family death mention / ]

Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.

I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.

Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rise karai #rise leo #rottmnt karai #rottmnt leo #I think a lot about these two in particular #and how that dynamic could have flourished #the way it was depicted in the finale is so purposefully unique and painful like #that hug man #can you imagine how much more heartbreaking that would have been if we knew her longer #not that it wasn’t already sad but we just simply didn’t know her long enough to be completely attached #also imo having more episodes with her and in general would have presented something I’ve been thinking about since the finale #so like - I like to think each bro kinda immediately leans more toward certain family members #Mikey has Draxum #Donnie has April #Raph has Splinter because this is another one that would be SO GOOD and make the finale moment where Raph sees his memories hit harder #if they had an ep or two more of Splinter and Raph together bc I really do feel like Raph respects Splinter most of the four #and finally- Leo has Karai #and then he loses her #imo? this would align with the movie even more #because it was the act of heroism that kinda killed her in a way - makes sense that Leo would initially be leaning away from that #and yet he ends up exactly like her anyway #haha sorry for rambling I just really love the interesting dynamic these two tend to have #and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see it really explored in rise #but yeah make no mistake while I’m focusing on Leo here I wanted more for all the boys and karai #Mikey’s little moments with her were so sweet and we already know how much he yearns for more family #Karai being from an age long gone would mean she’d be super impressed by literally any invention Donnie has (adult validation!!) #and could you imagine her training with Raph - with this training being referenced in the finale?

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.

#p5 #akeshu #akechi goro #kurusu akira #wow- me?? posting a valentines comic... actually on?? valentines????? wack. absolutely wack #it's a short one! I purposefully tried to keep it short. it was a challenge and it still ended up being 3 pages. but i blame my canvas size #also in case u can't see what akira is holding out to akechi: theyre chocolate covered strawberries on sticks! #i saw them irl and was like oh god i want those. i am going to project that feeling on my favorite characters so help me god #and now! here we are! but my shitty-ass coloring & line quality make it hard to discern them so. sorry about that lmaooooo #ANYWAY i don't do enough post-maruki stuff so. i made this one a little bittersweet. :) #why did i put akechi's scarf in a bow? honestly i dont know! i think i saw some art a while ago that did that too and i thought it was cute #well. plus i guess there's the symbolism of 'akechi being alive and reciprocating your feelings (however involuntarily) IS a gift' part #hence that hes wrapped up in a bow. like a present. :) #also god. the first panel is supposed to be akechi's reflection in a vending machine window. I could NOT get it to look right #so for reference!!! just so you guys understand!!!!!! thats what that panel is supposed to be!!! he is NOT in fact a ghost. (sigh) #hope you enjoyed and had a lovely valentines!! for my part i have eaten nothing but sweets today and hoo boy will that have been a mistake #ALSO in terms of the audience-participation comic...hopefully coming soon. if i can ever gain the will to draw it. #but at least tumblr has polls now so i can do the audience-choose-y bit without needing to use a separate website! so thats good i guess #anyway anyway anway thanks for listening to me ramble if you made it this far! have a lovely rest of your day and hopefully see u again soon

When he stepped out back for a break, Tango looked up the definition of 'muscle memory' on his phone.

The ability to reproduce a particular movement without conscious thought, acquired as a result of frequent repetition of that movement.

Frequent repetition. Yeah, that was what he thought. Tango sighed, leaning his head against the brick wall and staring up at the sky. Jimmy had mentioned a brief stint in restaurants previously, and it didn't take long for his muscle memory of kitchen tasks to kick in, but there were other habits that came just a little too easily for Tango's liking.

The way he grinned expectantly after teasing or goading them, and looked confused when they didn't insult him back. How easily 'sorry' fell from his lips over and over for the smallest mistake, even for mistakes that weren't his. The way he laughed after getting flustered and fumbling something was adorable, but the oh my gosh, I'm so stupid! that followed was less so. The way he said I'm an idiot with such levity, said it like it was an immutable fact, didn't sit well with Tango.

All habits that came to him easily, like muscle memory. Like the result of something that had happened over and over and over.

It wasn't the first time he had noticed these little habits, but they stood out more now that there wasn't anyone around who was actively teasing him. Before, it had seemed like an act, a call-and-response game Jimmy played with his oldest friends. Now, seeing the response without the call, it just seemed...

When Skizz said you were great, Jimmy! You absolutely crushed it! after a particularly hectic shift, Jimmy's eyes widened with genuine surprise before a grin spread across his face.

"Really?" he asked, a little hesitance in his voice, like he fully expected Skizz to take it back and tell him no, he was awful.

"Really!" said Skizz, but exchanged a glance with Tango. The compliments came thick and fast after that, from both of them, and Tango loved the way Jimmy absolutely thrived under them. He would do anything to protect that smile, and he knew Skizz would do the same.

"Hey. Jimmy."

Jimmy turned to look at Tango while Skizz locked up the building. "Yeah?"

Tango smiled. "You're amazing."

He could see Jimmy's ears flush even under the dim streetlight. "I am, aren't I?" he said happily.

To anyone else the comment might have come across a little cocky, a little overconfident. But Tango heard the hesitance behind it, the uncertain hope of someone finally beginning to realize their worth.

Skizz laughed. "Look at this guy and his well-deserved confidence!" he teased, ruffling Jimmy's hair. He and Tango exhanged another look, this time one of victory rather than concern. "But yeah, you are, and don't you forget it!"

Jimmy beamed. It didn't matter how their shifts in the restaurant went anymore, thought Tango. Angry customers, burned food, broken dishes; he'd get over all of it, as long as Jimmy was smiling like that at the end of the day.

}{ Part Two }{

#just a lil short and sweet something or other #idk man I've just been thinking about them all evening #took some creative liberties bc jimmy wasn't really self-depreciating during today's stream but he definitely has been in the past #but he looks so happy when he gets complimented and it makes ME happy :D #don't know if this is an au or if it's like. minecraft boys have a holodeck. #look at decked out Tango could TOTALLY build a holodeck #file: storm writes things #team rancher

Okay y'all it is over it is done the conversation has been had he knows I love him we are still friends I have cried my eyes out properly I have laughed again my heart will keep on hurting for a while but it is FINISHED

#it is a bit rough to be told that the age gap (3 years??) is too big and life stages are too different #and that it would be unwise since im graduating next year #and then be told that he's not attracted to you in that way #and THEN be told that if you were younger he might consider it #but alas that is the way the cookie crumbles #i do value his friendship very much and i am glad for it #but i am also glad he was honest with me #lads if i could choose i would go through all of it again! i have loved this poor sweet oblivious boy for a short while #but it has been very long and very deeply lodged in my heart #anyway i will be okay and im glad i can laugh again so soon :) #thank you for praying for me it really has been a fresh new hell in many ways #and i do love him. i do love him so terribly much #but i know it will pass #also he WAS very sweet about it. very sweet and honest and vulnerable and i deeply appreciated it #part of me is like. WILL I EVER LOVE AGAIN??? and the other part is like. i cant imagine loving anyone else #i kid you not he is the most wonderful God fearing gentle kind man of integrity i know. i love him terribly. #and there is no other guy who i trust implicitly and know i can tell or talk to about anything #so it is hard to imagine loving anyone else. he is so precious to me and just being around him makes my heart so happy #it will pass!!!!! #the waiting room chapter

It's funny to be an adult who didn't realize they were queer until they were grown. Turns out those "crushes" on the cool boys weren't crushes. It was gender envy, but I didn't have the vocabulary to convey that

#lgbtq #nonbinary #i have such a distinct memory of a boy in middle school #i remember nothing about him but his look #he was one of those cool tall lanky emo kids who wore what he wanted had painted nails and dyed hair #even had the classic emo hair cut #he was also a sweet kid #if my friends hadnt made my “crush” weird i think i could have been friends with him #we talked every now and then but then when i went on to high school i never saw him again #i think his name was chris #i remembered him a few weeks ago and i realized it was never about having feelings toward him #it was how cool his vibes were and wanting to be more like him #not in a following a trend sort of way but a #'i finally have a visual representation of how i feel on the inside' #but at the time i was an awkward little girl with crooked teeth and badly bleached hair with stupid pink streaks my parents put in it #wondering why i didnt feel at home in my body #high school came around and i found a friend who was into emo bands and metal who had tattos and long hair #he was the nicest coolest person i knew and we were friends all 4 years and i finally felt seen #i didnt have a 'crush' on him but he was the cool dude friend i could always talk to and i took so much inspiration from him #he was even a huge artistic inspiration for me

[qbebou]

ok not to be like he’s just like me fr…. but chayanne is just like me fr…..

i’m also the oldest child with one younger sibling who needed a lot more care when we were kids and therefore was deprived of certain needs in favor of my brother. i also had a parent that was missing a lot and depended almost solely on my dad. obviously tallulah needs more help than chay, with her asthma and lesser fighting skills, not to mention she had only been playing minecraft for like a month? or two before wilbur found her. and chay knows that! he knows that she needs more help than he does he knows he’ll do anything for her he knows he has to be the strongest to protect her. my brother and i are only a year apart but i was forced to grow up very very quickly bc i was on my own a lot as a kid while my brother was sick. phil doesn’t worry abt chay when he runs off bc he doesn’t need to, chay can take care of himself. hell, he took care of all the eggs when they first left. but at the same time, it’s comforting to know ur parent is looking out for u even when u don’t need it. phil’s not a smothering parent, he’s attentive, but not smothering. but let’s be real he can also be emotionally constipated LMAO but that leads to situations like the argument and frustration between chay and tallulah when dapper was kidnapped. in his defense, he’s never been a parent before and had 2 children thrust upon him to raise on his own. he didn’t have a lot of time to adjust to parenthood like ppl in real life do, he suddenly had 2 children who had their own thoughts and opinions and emotional needs, he didn’t get the time it takes to LEARN abt how to provide that specific care and while some ppl have that innate knowledge there is a lot of learning and navigating when it comes to emotional vulnerability and regulation esp when it comes to children who are figuring it out as well. i feel for chay when he thinks he needs to be the strongest. i feel for chay when he had to make the decision to gather the eggs and leave. i feel for chay when he had to take blame for bad things happening. and i feel for chay when he realized tallulah doesn’t need him as much anymore. my brother and i are both adults now and we had a …… tumultuous relationship as teenagers for reasons that were both our own and caused by problems outside our control. but i still remember exactly how devastating it was the moment i realized that he was fine on his own. that he didn’t need me anymore. and it caused a rift between us; on my end bc i was frustrated and felt tossed aside and on his end bc he NEEDED to be independent to keep growing. i see so much of myself in chay and i desperately wish he and tallulah had a better mediator for their argument, or at least someone who could truly understand why they were so upset. i don’t think phil clocked that tallulah was so upset and adamant abt looking for dapper bc it was just her dapper and ramon surviving on their own. just bc phil didn’t witness it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen and it doesn’t mean that they don’t have a much tighter relationship than they had before purgatory. and when chayanne said everyone was blaming him for the decisions he made phil was quick to tell him that no one was blaming him but also phil doesn’t know that! he doesn’t know if any blame was put on chayanne when it was just the eggs together. chayanne made the decision for the eggs to run and they trusted him bc he’s the oldest and he’s strong and he can be a leader but by running he also put the eggs thru a lot of pain and fear that they may not have gone thru if they stayed with their parents. and even if the eggs didn’t explicitly say that they blamed chayanne im sure he blamed himself for every little thing that went wrong. we’ve already seen him open up a tiny bit abt how he was questioning his decision to leave. but phil told him that chay made the best decision he could have given the information he had at the time which is true! but when ur the oldest and everyone is looking to u, all of the responsibility lies on ur shoulders. chayanne has been carrying SO much weight on his shoulders for so long it breaks my heart.

#lex.txt #qsmp chayanne #qsmp tallulah #qsmp #i have so much more i could say abt chayanne tallulah and their relationship but unfortunately ! i am not allowed to write more than this #please excuse my rambling run on sentences and lack of proper punctuation #i type the way i speak in my head and usually that means no pauses no breaks everything flows like word vomit i apologize if things #don’t make sense #i think if this was happening when i was younger i wouldn’t have all these feelings but like #my brother has a toddler that i’ve been helping raise since he was born #that is MY baby i spend the most time with him he’s the closest to me out of anyone #and i think that if i didn’t have any parenting experience i would also handle things a lot like how phil does #i think the several years of therapy have also helped with my parenting LOL #anyways i wrote this a while back and it’s been sitting in my drafts #chay is so sacrificial and i think a lot of it comes from phil putting pressure on him to be strong #he literally said he should’ve been the one to die instead of empanada!!!!! he thinks the eye attacks are his fault #i just wish he could be a kid and do the things he wants to do without worrying that he or his siblings will die #poor sweet boy :( he shouldn’t be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders but he doesn’t think he has the option not to

Saejima and his prison crew still meeting up sometimes to have dinner and beers and maybe a tabletop role play is a head canon that I simply think is very cute.

#rggo sending him back bc he wanted to properly thank okudera and check in on him was the best thing ever to me #bc i already had thr idea in my head that of all the lads he is actually the one most likely to keep relationships up to some degree #which is sweet when you think about him not seeing anyone for 25 years and then think about what happened with Yasuko #So I was like yeah he and Kido def get beers once in a while and catch up #once all the boys are out im certain same shit for them too #its just a nice idea to me #also him and himura are still just funny to me #he could have been so much more reluctant about their weird sapporo roleplay visit thing #but he just went along with it 😂 #oshima and baba just sitting there like 😐😐 this shit again #it would make no sense to send majima back to hokkaido when he was arrested at the start of 6 #but i hope they did and he an the old boys at least got to chill together ☠️ #saejima not majima eo yai yai so many jimas so little time #thank fuck daigo gets called daigo and not dojima id be fuckin him up too

GIRL......................... suspension of disbelief I know but.

Obviously you can pick out a BUNCH of the dragons as that Is an ongoing trope (dragons aging differently than humans, so they can look younger than they "actually are") (also while I did try to avoid including them to make them more comparable to Nino, I think Flayn can fit in either category for the purposes of The Context -- esp cause her dragon blood is meant to be secret)

Not only do we have Heroes skewing younger (a lot fitting into another trope of What If There Was A Baby Sister) we also have Baby Banner. Where the whole point is they are baby.

LIKE....... maybe I'm speaking way too soon and maybe the whole point IS this will backfire LMFAO, but it IS absurd to be presented with her art (which, def still looks youthful!) and having her say yeah I can pass as a kidnapped child. Which COULD be true! But also what do you mean no one is going to know you're a part of the Heroes. Why is no one fighting her on this. Not even including the dragons there are like a handful of Heroes who fit into her exact vibe. Some even MORE baby than her.

#fire emblem #feh #and that's not even factoring in charas like nyx (who's whole thing is she 'looks younger' than she is) #which. tbh. i personally never saw even in fates. like. that's just a short small woman. they do exist. #and adding to that are the other charas who read as short small women to me like celine (before i knew her in-game age is 17) #and eitri #and also youthful charas who are treated as younger yes but also as full fledged adults in their own right. like lissa #(treatment mostly comes from chrom tbh which is understandable LMFAO) #OH and that's not even looking at all the second gen/child units from awakening/fates/other games that include that #which i think is just genealogy and thracia??? i'm not familiar enough w those titles though #also like. in general. a lot of fe charas who have official ages are teens. nino is 15. i think ike was like 16 in por???? #which like! still a kid! but also! idk even what the difference is. is it just that ones a sweet looking girl #and the other is a boy who was trained to kill for as long as he's been alive (very lovingly by the rare good dad in fe) #i mean. i guess that makes a difference. #OH MAN I COULD HAVE INCLUDED LYSITHEA INSTEAD OF FLAYN. ALSO fits the bill perfectly #VERONICA WAS 13 WHEN WE MET HER AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED TO BE A CATEGORY 10 THREAT #SORRY i'm nitpicking like crazy LMFAOOOO but like. the people of askr should not be fazed by anything anymore. #and you would think whoever is causing problems like bandits or what have you. you'd think they'd adapt. #SANAKI. ALSO. WHO IS WHY WE KNOW VERONICA'S AGE ROUGHLY IN THE FIRST PLACE‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #okay i swear i'm done now. good by forevwr 👍 #fe nino

Sometimes I stay up extra late at night and look outside, I stare at what little stars are out in the light polluted sky and I cry

I cry for Chris chambers, i imagine him and gordie tucked under that pine tree as Chris cries because he just wants to go somewhere where nobody knows him. I cry because yeah, maybe he did steal the milk money, but he gave it back, and apparently that wasn’t enough.

I cry because Chris wanted gordie to have a good life so bad. He “wished to hell” that he was gordies father to make sure that gordie had this good life.

And yet he didn’t have a good life. Chris chambers did not have a good life. He was so good

So kind

So gentle

Loyal

Smart

Caring

And yet he did not have a good life.

People just kept hurting him.

His dad, ace, the guy in line.

No matter how hard he tried to be gentle trouble always followed him.

I cry because I want someone to love chris so badly. I want someone to hold him close and tell him that it wasn’t his fault. That he was a good kid. He’s good. So so good.

There’s a sound on TikTok that’s something along the lines of “I could have parented him” and k have never felt that so much about another character Than i do chris.

He deserves love. I want to love him

I sit by my window and stare at the night sky and picture the embers of a dying fire, the soft snores of teenage boys on a grand coming of age adventure and chris chambers protecting the group, taking watch with a gun in his hands.

I want to scoop him up like a mother would to her son and kiss his forehead.

Tuck him into bed, and tell him to rest well because he deserves that much.

A gentle boy deserves that kind of affection.

#stand by me #the body #chris chambers #gordie #vern #teddy duchamp #poor sweet boy #making me cry #random #it’s late #i’m sorry #he makes me feel things #motherly things #I could have parented him #I would be gentle #he could have been okay #hurt/comfort #Spotify

just played a kids on brooms valentine's oneshot and,, holy fucking crap i am still weeping

what it all comes down to: local aroace himbo jock becomes the quiet protector of love at his local valentine's festival even though he did not want to at the first place, because he felt really uncomfortable by the pretence of being known as a 'heart thief' while desperately trying to ignore the girls who were falling head over heels for him and he did not know how to deal with, the protector of something that he does not experience in the ways that his peers experience it, and fucking OFFERS up his own heart if it means that this weird fucking void creature stops trying to literally steal people's hearts and leaving their chests like empty cavities, and when that doesn't work, fucking plunges his OWN fist inside of the entities' chest to get them back, crowning himself the heart thief of the festival

#like oh my GOD #the fukcing moment he (or i) realised that he maybe had the chance to put a stop to it... by OFFERING it his own heart #because he felt like he understood what it felt but still didnt think it was fair to rob so many people of their in-love hearts #and quietly made the decision for himself that he at least needed to try.. for his new friends #and all those people who were losing their partners left and right??? #i need you to know that during the crowning scene?? Of the heart thief thing?? i was fully weeping #i AM so glad that we were playing online #jason brinley i need you to know that i love you so fucking mcuh and no matter the characters ive created for ttrpgs you will go done as on #that will always matter everything to me #my sweet boy #who bravely took on something that could have been a huge burden to bear when you dont understand it but you still felt like you had to do #if not for yourself then for all those people around you #brb going to cry again #natasja's babbling #aromantic #aroace

I've been hunkering down in Gundam Seed JP Twitter and it has been extremely enlightening, especially since I haven't rewatched the main series in a while. Things I forgot, things I actually remember but see in a new light...

Some people love/hate the new movie on there, but I've seeing a lot of people find it good - because it makes the point that 'Kira didn't actually heal from the events of Gundam Seed, and now that he's back on the battlefield without Lacus his sanity is hanging by a thin thread'.

A bunch of people pulling receipts on the discriminatory behaviours/opinions even Kira's friends had possessed unconsciously (in Sai's case, kind of... A bit more blatantly than most back when Kira didn't even pull shit, which had me hissing through my teeth...), the things that isolated Kira into thinking he has to handle things on his own (Tolle's death when he tried fighting by his side, for example), a comparison of behaviours between Murrue who gave him a bow of respect vs his friends who tell him 'we'll distract ZAFT as EA soldiers while you're on the refugee shuttle!' oblivious to the actual dangers because they were only ever on the bridge (haha,,,,, the fact this saved them even if it backed Kira into a corner,,,,,,,, ffffffuck)

Back to the movie, I've seen some mixed reactions about the second half, but!!! I'm generally seeing a lot of people looking at first half Kira and going 'my sad baby. my poor meow meow. get whumped.'

Again, this is all JP twitter, not EN, and definitely not the actual movie - but seeing people's reactions have been an entertaining ride.

#gundam seed #gundam seed freedom #spoilers #not to mention tidbits in the novel #i went onto twitter because i was doubting i would ever watch it for myself/wanted to see what i could understand of jp on my own so far #(the answer to that second bit is; not a lot but i do understand somewhat) #and found a whole lot of meta... #one of the most interesting takes i saw in there is 'the first half of the movie feels like Gundam SEED' #so that's fun #seeing a lot of people come out or convert into shinnkira addicts #and mobkira addicts.... oh boy #he's apparently got a very cute tortured face #i am having such a great time looking through seed jp twitter guys #i've never been able to connect all that strongly with en fanworks so this has been a blast #also very important: it makes a point of making kira and lacus both more human!!! lacus is given more focus!!!!!!! #i couldn't connect with lacus past 'she seems sweet' back then with the sole exception of being interested in her political savviness #so there's a clear attempt to shine a spotlight on things the series itself didn't get time to zoom in on #is what i have been able to parse #what i was able to get from en posts made it seem like it was just a het nightmare whether you shipped anyone or not #but it's nice to hear otherwise #the canon ships will canon and all of them were made with enough intent to be actually good #kira and lacus felt like the weakest of the main pairings once upon a time which sucked because i liked them individually #so now #you get the idea jvuvuvuv #i'll still ship what i like but this gripe at least is put to rest #gundam seed freedom spoilers #islea's words

If you talk to Thaffe after the events of Mount Gulg, he says, "Thancred told us what happened. Are you all right?" and I just........

#twine boys #thaffe #listen. listen. he's so sweet #like yes thancred absolutely gives magnus and the boys a very simplified version of events #leaving out that the wol is being corrupted by the lightwardens' aether #but what they do know is the wol fought vauthry. collapsed. the sky changed back. #the exharch has been abducted. the warrior of darkness is in rough shape. #and thaffe's first concern isn't 'hey can you tell us more about what happened' #which would be fair! this has to be scary! the sky's changed back! #no. his first concern is 'are you okay?' #magnus also gets me right in the heart; he's like 'should you even be up right now???' #(jeryk is jeryk about it; just 'oh i was hoping we could show you the lanterns on the tracks are working. :c maybe later.' #which is sweet in its own way! he told the wod about hoping the lanterns could be useful if the night ever returned to amh araeng. #i love them all so much. #i should be sleeping right now but i'm having emotions instead

They did not just stand up for Mr. Keating they stood up for Neil Perry and his dreams too. 10/10 this movie. I want to watch it over and over again until I can memorize the words by heart. It was beautiful. The boys were seizing and living life, capturing it with both hands. My heart bleeds for the loss they had and I bleed for Neil Perry, he was so brave to seize his dreams but it is sad that he was not able to make it big, was not able to stretch and expand it. It was when he said nothing and then I was good that I knew what he was gonna do and while it is easy to say to look at things differently when you are in the position it is hard when all you can see is prison bars. Defying his father may lead him to that military school, if he leaves to pursue his dream how will he do it with no money? It is scary to venture in a world where there is no safety net and it is sad that the option he saw was to leave in the world where he will be remembered where he seized his dreams, suspended in the time where he smiled and was on stage. His friends standing up on those tables made his death meaningful in the way that we should not be clipping the wings of the young aaaahhh I wanna say more but I can't see past my tears as I am typing this and my words are stuck in my throat.
