In honor of the Philly Union making it to the MLS Playoffs, and the fact that I wear a Union jersey to about half the shows I play.. I made these new stickers! Come out to a show soon to pick one up.
Kinda obsessed with the difference between Martin's perspective during the apocalypse and Jon’s.
It's the difference between "I know you might hate me right now" and "I love you, I always will, and I know you love me"
It's the difference between Jon not being able to trust anyone, not even himself, but never for a second doubting that Martin loves him and Martin never being sure Jon’s feelings for him won't change.
It's the difference between Jon not always being loved perfectly and Martin having never been loved before.
It's Jon spending the entire apocalypse telling every monster they come across that Martin is his boyfriend, have you met Martin, this is his boyfriend Martin, his anchor, his last tie to humanity, his reason to still be hoping for a better ending. It's Martin telling his Lonely-self that if it comes down to it he'll ask Jon to destroy him and not being sure whether Jon will say no.
Even the jealousy, which is slightly played for laughs, still comes down to Jon being like "aw my boyfriend's getting all possessive 🥰" whereas deep down Martin has never let go of the idea that under different circumstances Jon could do better.
They're more emotionally open with each other during the apocalypse than they are for the years leading up to it, and they still don't stop misunderstanding each other.
I kinda love how the moment Leo got his dual wield katana back, he adapted so much more naturally to his teleportation abilities.
Not to say he didn’t come around with the odachi, but it was pretty clear that he struggled hard with the mystic properties of it, and I think that it’s partially because while the odachi itself is a portaling tool that seemingly most anyone can use, Leo’s innate mystic abilities call for something to work with him, not for him.
So it makes perfect sense why his katana, made from himself and more in line with how he naturally fights, finally allow him to seamlessly grasp his space warping abilities to the extent he can.
It's so interesting how everyone is openly accepting Laudna giving herself up to Delilah in exchange of power.
It's like they must understand at this point that she's going to lose herself.
But they accept it, they kinda have to, she asks them to. They pretend they're going to figure it out, a problem for later.
Imogen spoke so little when Laudna joined back up in the room, because she also has to accept it, she's going to respect Laudna's wishes, but she's realizing that there is very little hope to save her.
She's going to miss their little cottage, miss something that could have been, please Laudna, it could still be, I need you to choose to fight still, I need you.
sometimes you have an idea thats like 'wow would that be fucked up or what?' and like. yeah. it would be fucked up.
VERY IMPORTANTLY: not canon. this is not canon to osis. but think about lock in your brain. it is so mentally well does not feel crippling guilt over the fact that it gave up.
I have thought about maybe visiting the real echo in utah if I ever ended up near that corner of america but since finishing arches my brain just immediately summons this image

summary:
Mason put his hands out in front of him like he did whenever he was about to go off on a tangent about some new information, Theo readying himself.
“Look, you’re an asshole, genuinely. And I still don’t know if I can ever forgive you for everything you did—but… you were there for him. You were there for Liam when he needed it.” Mason scoffed. “God you two are so dense!”
Before Theo could ask what he meant, Mason threw his hands out with exasperation.
“You’re his anchor dude. Go—ground him, or whatever it is werewolves do.”
He was Liam’s—anchor? It was an idea Theo couldn’t even begin to wrap his head around.
If he thought back on everything, sure, he could see it. But Theo wasn’t good, he wasn’t built to help, to ground. He was only built to destroy. What did Liam need him for anyway?
—or—
Theo picks up on Liam's odd habits, making it his personal mission to keep the beta grounded. It has absolutely nothing to do with him being Liam's anchor

Lyrics
It started out as fun and games
But they’re lining up now
And it’ll never be the same
It’s a miracle of modern science
That most of us will make it out alive
Without getting hurt or dying
We were only kids when this started
Now we’re trying to make it on our own
I can barely hold back from crying
It feels like something’s been weighing me down
Pulled up a few feet shy of the finish line
It’s gone before you can figure it out
It feels like something’s been weighing me down
You can try but you can’t hide it
I saw this going different in my mind
We were always bad at timing
Trying to piece together the miscommunication between Link and Normal where they both think the other doesn't know what they want and I think it's that the level of results they're each looking for is different. Link wants to know what to do from moment to moment and every decision in each moment is backed by "which option gets fewer people hurt or killed." Whereas Normal isn't looking for a moment-to-moment goal, he's looking for a long term goal of helping the Doodler, and so what that looks like from moment to moment isn't always going to look the same.
So like, the moment with the pick. To Link, Normal is the one who doesn't know what to do because Normal doesn't know what to do in that moment to resolve the anchor, while Link takes a quick action. But from Normal's point of view it looks like Link has no idea what he's doing because his actions had no thought towards the ongoing Doodler problem.
came in here to tell you i'm still thinking about no consequences firstprince. what have you done to me? fucking hell, i'm so obsessed.
Ahhhh! Help! this is so NICE!
Even as the person who has been living and breathing this series and only this series for six straight weeks, I could never have imagined how much other people would come to enjoy it. It’s only really just starting to hit me that the series has ended, which is silly as the person who wrote and posted the conclusion, but emotions in this corner of the internet void are high here, so I’m sorry if this response is like, WAY sappier than you were anticipating.
This universe, and the iterations of Alex and Henry within it, are so tangled up in the vessels of my heart-that the fact the story has resonated with you and stuck with you means so incredibly much to me. I never expected it to reach the audience that it has, or for it to have inspired all the lovely things that people have had to say about it. I’ve loved all the comments and encouragement you’ve left me along the way, so thank you for that 🤍
(I did reply to your comment on The First and the Last, I’m still making my way through all of them, but words have been harder than usual because of the aforementioned high emotions, so it’s a work in progress.)
I know this is probably not the response you were expecting, but thank you for leaving this message. It makes my heart happy to know that these versions of the characters I carried through this story are in good hands with the people who read it and loved it. And, now that I have made myself all choked up again, I will retire back into my void. 🤍
