it’s the picture of diana in lawrence’s wallet with her arms wrapped around a dog, it’s the horse riding awards in her bedroom and and the snake toy she has draped over her headboard .. it’s adam who wanted so badly to be a vet, adam who loves cats and brings them saucers of milk despite there being barely anything in his fridge .. it’s them bonding over their love of animals, diana showing adam her amazing animal facts book and adam asking for one every time he sees her, it’s adam saving up his own money so he can surprise her with a trip to the zoo for their next adam-and-diana day when lawrence and alison are at work and need someone to watch her, it’s him taking his camera, getting pictures of her with her favorite animals and developing them, it’s diana telling adam she wants to be a vet when she grows up and him getting excited, grabbing lawrence’s stethoscope when diana says she wants to play vets and taking his job oh so seriously when diana says that he’s gotta be her assistant, it’s .. its ..

Grief is such an arsehole, because you can be feeling a bit sad and mopey about something entirely unrelated and then your brain is like "but also, everyone's dead!" and then suddenly you're four times as sad and mopey and also thinking about death. Truly ridiculous and unfathomable that half your family being dead doesn’t mean that the train will never be late again, or you’ll never forget a half-made cup of tea, or you’ll never get another needlessly snarky email which misspells your Welsh name and turns it into some hideous Tolkien-lite abomination, or you’ll never be shoved on a train platform by a man who looks like he’s made solely of ham and spite. In fact, as it happens, all of these things will still be true, but they’re true alongside the fact of your grief. The train is late, and your family is dead. You can’t, as it turns out, swap a dead family for a reliable train timetable. Just rude, innit.

More of Dad’s slides - this time a trip to the UK in 1975.
1. Dad, his brother, and their brother-in-law, picnic somewhere in the UK (maybe London?).
2. Of course Dad took a photo of some sort of crane truck whilst in London.
3. Wandering around Stonehenge.
4. I haven’t asked Dad where in the UK this was, I think down in the south west somewhere, but that’s just a guess.

had a situation earlier this year that led me to not talking to anyone in my fam outside of my baby sister (i still live with my mom and another sister, so it's been difficult to some degree), and my baby sister told me about a situation that happened last night that just makes me so happy i made that choice because these people are so awful girl wtf.
i've been in therapy for, like, half a year and was wondering if it's actually been helping or not, but i now realize how much it has opened my eyes to the toxicity of my family and how unhealthy they are to even engage with. she sent me a video and i'm like, "i can't believe i ever agreed to be part of this mess, these people will suck the life out of you"
crazy how emotional growth works. just crazy!

my ideal arrangement for hunter by the end of the show is that he officially becomes a clawthorne, stays at the owl house, and is apprenticed under dell to carve palismen. eda adopts him; outwardly she says what the hell might as well add a third one LOL, but internally shes horrified to see how different he is now - the new scars, the missing bird palisman, the desolate look in his (brown?) eyes, and she knows that he needs her. luz is SOOOOO happy abt it bc she basically already considered him her family but now its on paper that hes her brother!!!! surprisingly king is also v welcoming towards hunter... he finds out abt the grimwalker thing and after that he feels kinship w him due to similar origins and even tho he doesnt know the whole story he just senses that hunters been hurt a lot. he is instantly just like U Are My Big Brother Now. Hold Me. and hunter responds uhhhh okay (hes crying bc kings fur is so soft and warm). BUT hunter is also p much unofficially adopted by darius and he sleeps over/visits him and eberwolf all the time. he takes monthly trips to the human realm w luz to stay w camila for weeks at a time as well bc she was the first to take him in and taught him what a mother is and he loves her!! and raine becomes his stepparent by marriage. everyone wins, hunter has multiple parents who love him dearly <3
