alas. i am thinking about camilla and palamedes again and making myself upset

#i am halfway through harrow the ninth #and every time i think about gideon telling camilla about palamedes #i CANNOT #they loved each other so much #and they were more in sync than even ianthe and corona #when gideon said “he said he loves you” and camilla said “no he didnt” #my HEART BROKE #because she knew he loved her! that was implied! and they were beyond that! #i just #UGH #i feel like im gonna find out that she died or that something fucked up happened to her #but she was my FAVORITE #camilla hect #palamedes sextus

The start of the Elpis arc really is just the WoL third-wheeling a couple who spend half the time flirting in a way that only the two of them can truly comprehend, followed by Hyth talking about Emet and Azem with so much genuine affection and adoration that, after it all, you know exactly why separating them for 12000 years ended up having the terrible impact that it did, because it’s so clear how much love there was between them

#I reached elpis on my alt yesterday and two years definitely hasn’t lessened the impact of how good and important their dynamic is #they loved each other so much #hythazemet #endwalker spoilers #ffxiv

It's not that they didn't love each other enough, because they did. They loved each other so so much, maybe a little too much, and yet it wasn't enough. It's a tragedy because their meeting doomed them both. The love was there — it wasn't enough.

#they loved each other so much #so fucking much #they would've done anything for each other #they have done the unthinkable for each other #they still love each other even after all this timw #but their love didn't stop suguru from dying. it didn't stop satoru from killing him — it only delayed it #the love was there #it wasn't enough. #satosugu #sugusato #suguru geto #geto suguru #gojo satoru #satoru gojo #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #text post

Okay, so @soaharleys just sent me this amazing throwback photo of Meg Ryan and her son, Jack Quaid, which gives all the adorable Carole and Baby Bradley feels!

So I did a little bit of social media digging (as one does) and found a few more to add to the Carole and Bradley collection:

You just know Carole was the coolest, best mom ever and that Bradley loved her so much 🥹

Danny Pink deserved more…

#i wish we couldve gotten more danny screen time tbh #couldve been a much cooler character if we got more of him #i feel like his and clara’s relationship was poorly written but still good enough to make me emotional in the end #they loved each other SO MUCH #doctor who #clara oswald #danny pink

okay i cannot emphasize on how hard chapter 18-19 of nature has taught her creatures to hate made me cry. jon being an impressionable kid and relearning how to be a person with the help of gerry is so, so fucking sweet, and despite not making it out of the institute, what happened mattered anyway. gerry’s actions and resolve still matter even if they didnt reach their goal. and its like. what the fuck.

what fucked me up even more was gerry seeing this kid younger than him and deciding he can *never* be selfish when it comes to jon. he needs to be someone jon can look up to and rely on. but like. hes also just a kid. its horrible, its horrible all the way around, but when you find love in horror you cling as hard and fast as you can until your nails rip off. gerry is just such a good person, man.

I love so much TMA's theme of "the choices you make, even the unfair ones, are the ones that matter." It's this horrible monkey paw situation. It's not that they're utterly helpless in the face of the horrors--in fact, the horrors sometimes can't touch you unless you make the choice to let them. But they can do truly horrible things to guide your choice. It's like Michael--you have to be the one to open its door, but it doesn't have to play fair to get you to do it.

Gerry and Jon fail, back when they're kids. But they still chose each other in the face of horrible consequences. They still chose to love and sacrifice for someone else. And I think that that will always matter.

It's the one thing that Elias can never take from Jon, and believe me--he's tried. Elias can make the choice as unfair and painful as he wants. But it's still Jon's choice in the end. And Jon chooses Gerry. He chooses to love. And that's not nothing.

As to the second thing, I really think the sheer existence of Jon was a total role reversal for Gerry and really just a sign of how good of a person he is.

(I know there’s a lot of debate as to whether he’s the major character death tagged, I’m using present tense because i had to pick a tense but I will leave the mystery of whether he’s alive or not up to y’all the tenses in this post mean nothing).

Gerry is so fucking angry by the time he meets Jon. He’s at this point in his life where he’s in a horrible, abusive, metaphysically terrifying situation that he just can’t find his way out of. He’s tried asking for help, and people chose not to help him. And that’s important—they chose to do it. It’s not that they couldn’t overcome his mother; they explicitly decided to not help him.

The theme of choices and their importance in TMA is, again, just such a huge motif, and it’s no different here. And, moreover, Gerry knows about the importance of choices—his mother raised him to understand them. It is a huge, looming, unshakeable fact in Gerry’s mind at this point: the choices people make matter, and for some reason, everyone chooses to leave him to unspeakable suffering.

Roles are another important thing in TMA—and Gerry very squarely occupies one as the person reaching out for help. He is never the person in the position to offer it, at least not at this point in his life. He is never truly been confronted with the same decision of helping someone being abused that he has proffered others, again and again and again.

He has been dancing along the edges of that decision, however, and he is absolutely fucking terrified that he will make the same one that everyone makes with him. In his statement, he mentioned his mother’s victims—that she stopped hiding them after he tried to turn her in, and that he always told himself that it was too late, they were already dead, and there was nothing he could do.

He also mentions he was lying to himself.

Now, in truth, there really wasn’t anything he could do to help them. His mom really could and would have overwhelmed him, and by the time he saw them, they would have died even if he got them to a hospital. But he still made the choice not to try, and that’s important, and that is a part of himself that Gerry has never been able to forget no matter how hard he tries.

And then there's Jon.

At the start of their friendship, Gerry is so extremely convinced that Jon and he are occupying the same role. Jon is the kid trapped in this world, who no one helps.

It is not until he finds out that Elias made him an avatar that things change.

It's like this: Gerry and Jon are both two kids in a wildly dangerous situation. Their respective adults have brought them down to the edge of the deepest pool in the world. There's no lifeguard on duty, no safety rails, no life vests, and neither of them have been taught to swim. The ground is slick and people slip often, and if you fall in, you will never be able to climb out again.

Gerry knows, viscerally, that his mother has put him in a situation where he is probably going to drown. But, at the very least, she's warned him not to run--even though she forces him to walk at a hazardously fast pace.

Gerry thought that was Jon. Elias brought him to the edge, told him to keep up, and looked on when he fell in and died painfully. Jon was just the less lucky version of Gerry. Both of them have constantly ran the risk of being eaten, but Jon just happened to be the one that got swallowed. He was suffering the terrible fate that Gerry was fully expecting to befall him.

But then Gerry finds out that Elias made him an avatar on purpose. And that's different from what happened to Gerry. Gerry's mother introduced him to the risk of drowning, but Elias held Jon beneath the waves and waited until he stopped struggling.

Gerry realized, then, that, for the first time, he was the guy that could turn a blind eye. He was every single person who had ever turned their back on him.

And it would have been easy for him to do the same thing.

Because while Gerry had realized that there was a difference between him and Jon, Jon hadn't realized the same thing. Jon was not asking Gerry for help. At the time Gerry decided to save him, Jon wasn't aware that he could be saved. Gerry could have kept on the same way they were going before he knew, and Jon would have never once thought the worse of him.

And besides, the Institute, Elias, and the Eye were all incredibly dangerous. Gerry knew he would risk a horrible, painful fate if he went up against them. He had every single reason to not risk what he did.

He could have turned a blind eye, and the only one who would have paid the price was Jon.

Gerry was a little boy in a terrible situation who found a littler boy in a worse situation, and he decided that he needed to be for Jon everyone he never had. Gerry was a kid, and was trying to force himself to walk in some very adult shoes. Jon was just so incredibly fucked up when they ran that he was completely unaware of how wrong things were, and Gerry ended up shouldering a huge amount of the burden of keeping them on track. The car could have been actively on fire in a hurricane and Jon still would have counted it as better than where he was before; Gerry knew why Jon was like this and loved him more than anything, but at the end of the day, he was still very young and very afraid and spent most of the time wanting to cry. It was unequivocally the best part of his life, and he spent most of it wanting to cry.

It was horrible, and it was unfair, but it mattered. The choices that they made in those moments made Gerry Keay and Jonathan Sims more than any single thing Elias ever did, and it mattered.

#jonathan sims #gerard keay #gerry keay #nhthcth #i love them so much #they were such good boys #they loved each other so much #i cannot emphasize that part enough #jon and gerry had every single reason to stop loving and stop living and they still both cared about a scared little boy in a bad situation #there's no entity of love or hope but it still can be the most radical thing to hold to in the face of overbearing fear

#THEY WERE SO CLOSE #THEY LOVED EACH OTHER SO MUCH #i’m really upset that we won’t get to see/hear natsuo’s whole take on this #and that natsuo won’t get a moment to actually talk to touya #i understand why; touya is deranged and dangerous and it would be very idiotic to put natsuo in front of him #when his sole focus and goal is to hurt enji as much as possible which also includes killing anything even slightly precious to his father #it’s so fucking sad how far gone he is :( #he’s such an interesting character i LOVE HIM

Contentment

Mr and Mrs Lambert rest easy on a lazy morning knowing nothing bad ever happens in little hope

Right after I posted that last drawing I was like, I gotta keep going and now Joseph and Amy get struck from the to-do list(I'm making good progress on the little hope cast aren't I)

@delurkr this came solely from a desire to draw Joseph with his hair down, I know it's not that long in game but when has that ever stopped me and hey I think I finally got figured how to make the A lady's look both like themselves and appropriately aged(hope it works on younger versions)

#little hope #Amy Lambert #Joseph Lambert #the dark pictures anthology #the dark pictures #the dark pictures little hope #supermassive games #scribblings #I also liked this idea that they were so intertwined that you couldn't tell where his hair stopped and hers started in places #They loved each other so much #Joseph literally went to his grave defending Amy's honor #Also straight up asleep wasn't working so half asleep it is
