Me, externally: Manifesting canon Dadrius lol
Me, internally: Ok but the way the narrative used part of its v e r y limited time left to include
Hunter & Darius having an amicable rapport that was both a clear progression from how they previously acted towards each other and ended as positive character growth for both of them
Darius being the one to give Hunter a scroll, his only means to finally communicate with others outside the coven with the important point of it being another high-ranking member of Belos' inner court to do so, and furthered it by having Darius actively encourage such behavior
building off the ultimately failed first attempts of reaching out by Luz & Amity but done in a way that doesn't leave Hunter feeling worse, instead it's a small step encouraged by someone that actually knows what it's like being around & "loyal" to Belos, not by someone that openly opposes Belos
making that moment be such a positive experience for Hunter it gave him renewed confidence (even if only temporarily) AND having it happen back when Darius still appeared to be a full fledged antagonist
throwing in brief details that Darius was the student of the previous Golden Guard, how important he was to him, and that he now thinks Hunter is a worthy successor, and Hunter noticing in the "memory" of his promotion that Darius looked sad -- all important details given the overarching themes in TOH of found family, student-mentor relationships, and adults overcoming their own toxic/solitary habits to be better role models for the younger generations
and then finally paralleling Darius' frantic concern for Hunter to Raine's composed-but-just-as-deep-concern for Eda & her kids, a relationship that is set up to be the narrative conclusion for one of the main characters (Raeda will be married by the end without a doubt 💖)
Given all of this, I can't see how Darius won't end up as Hunter's main guardian, if not one of them. Every one of the moments between Darius & Hunter happened in S2-B after the crew knew the show got cancelled and they had to rewrite a bunch of stuff, if they wanted to write Darius as "actually he's cool lol" all they needed to do was reveal he was secretly a rebel too, they didn't need to throw in any backstory details or build a connection between him and Hunter (who has already had like 5+ other major connections built for him since his introduction), but they actively chose to keep those details.
So yeah, manifesting canon Dadrius lol.

stayed up til 3 when I have an 8am again. I do this because I hate myself so sos sososososososososo much. It's really funny because I don;t fall asleep in class thanks to my meds but I've noticed every time I go to class after 4 hrs sleep people act weird around me which is how I know im acting really weird. And I am so extremely angry at myself. I spent 4 hours. well 8 hours. Well all day. Pretending I'm going to do homework and distracting myself with various other things on my laptop or crying on the phone to my parents. Got zerooooo work done at all i stayed up most of the nihght for literally no gain whatsoever this is pure self harm. Which I do becauase again I hate myself. Because I didn't do my work. Which i won't do tomorrow either because i'll be so tired I wont be able to string a sentence together even though I'm supposed to give a presentation haha. My favorite activity is staring at the clock on my laptop getting later and later and later. new high score etc. Who's a hypersomniac now. Imagine how much easier this semester would have been if I'd gone to bed before 2am ever. I'm so fucking angry at myself I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep now even. If I fail my classes again my parents are gonna make me live at home forever and say im too crazy to live on my own. I know I was supposed to get a therapist but I hate them all so, so, so much. I think people get that job bc they feel powerful telling some pathetic person what to do knowing I literally cannot do it and will come back week after week admittingn failure and paying
I know I was supposed to take the new experimental FDA approved drug for IH but the list of side effects is fucking terrifying and I live and sleep alone so i really don't want to take a super powerful sedative that can make you stop breathing. So I'm gonna keep taking stimualnts and lying to myself that today is the last day I stay up extremely late for no reason.

top ten funny ford escape moments
1. that time it just completely died after a 20 minute trip out of town but was completely fine the next morning (last summer)
2. that time i woke up to find a huge dent in my car and someones shattered tail light beneath it (last winter)
3. that time it had an engine misfire and it was scary (also last winter)
4. that time the radio decided to change stations and turn its volume all the way up of its own volition (last winter and continuing, frequency of these events seems to be determined by humidity???)
5. that time the drivers side door wouldnt close unless you locked the door but then the lock stopped working so i had to drive to the shop with one hand tightly gripping the door handle so it wouldnt swing open on every right turn (this winter)
6. that time i thiught i had another misfire because my car was shaking more than usual and the engine light was flashing but when i turned the car on and off again everything was apparently fine (today)
7. that time my car was actually not fine because i get back into town and discover that my car is accelerating on its own (today)
8. my car was ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL
9. it WOULD NOT STOP and when i put it in park it made some terrifying, expensive sounding noises (cause it was still trying to fucking drive for some reason!!!!) and i immediately turned off the car fuck that fuck that fuck that
10. also my power steering fluid is leaking but all of todays car moments are somehow unrelated according to my dad and his friend who are both way more experienced woth cars than me but could not identify the other liquid that was leaking out of my poor car

i know y’all love to be like ‘growing up with siblings is what makes you [x type of person]’ or like ‘heee i’m a child of divorce that made me craAAAaaAAazy’ but growing up with a dead parent truly is insane
like not even from grief standpoint like there are just so many weird things that happen with a dead parent that just don’t happen otherwise. it’s not just like “uwu fathers day makes me sad” it’s shit like helping your surviving parent deal with their own grief or like realizing how serious genetic health problems are when you’re 12 and perfectly healthy. or like having to deal with ADULTS who don’t know what to do when a kid tells them their parent is dead so YOU have to navigate the adult through it.
especially because most of the time if you’re a kid and your parent is dead that means your parent died fairly young. like the MIND GAMES of it all.
anyways we should make ‘i have a dead dad/mom’ a personality trait the way y’all act like Eldest Sibling is a personality trait and a sign that you’ve died on the cross many times
