Thinking about the difference between how qjaidena and qroier process bobby's death
Jaiden fully immersing herself in the memory of bobby, of their happiest day together, remaking rebuilding the memory of how she wants to remember bobby , fully drowning herself in the memory of a field of roses and sunsets and constantly trying to keep herself from ever fully processing her grief and sadness and trying live in that memory forever
While Jaiden drowns herself in bobbys memory, Roier barely ever touches his. He rarely ever goes back to his house, has only gone to bobby's room on the 3rd floor atleast once or twice, barely ever goes to his castle, treehouse, any place where there's a constant reminder that bobby was once there. He spends more time with people and rarely ever goes back home where he's forced to confront with the reality that his son isnt there and will never be there again. He's so afraid of changing anything, of touching memories of bobby, of tainting it
the great big mystery of mike wheeler's no good, very bad, terrible feelings
It’s at that very moment that, for reasons completely and utterly unknown to anyone at all, every single possible word he has ever learned from any language ever has suddenly disappeared from his brain, and his throat feels relevant to the Sahara Desert.
None of this, of course, has to do with the fact that Will is very, very, very – shirtless.
Will blinks at him. “Are you okay?”
“Shoulders,” Mike says, sounding vaguely chipmunk-like, and he hears Max barely choke down a snicker.
Will comes back for the summer, and Mike deals with it.
Kind of. Not really.

WAIT IF THE TWINS ARE TELEPATHIC AND INGO IS TRIPPING BALLS ON SNEASEL VENOM DOES THAT MEAN EMMET RANDOMLY STARTS HAVING VISIONS AT WORK TOO
Emmet hears the words 'whoops, probably shouldn't have done that' .turns to a depot agent and says 'hospital' before collapsing face first onto the subway floor
Btw u know how each union bday vignette interview had the “which dorm would you join that isn’t the one ur in now” question. Every character that dissed heartslabyul bc “the uniform/vibe is too bright” is a coward.
The things we leave behind are often thought of as irrelevant- it's not what we leave behind, but who. I would argue, however, that what we leave can say much about how we lived, which leads me onto my point: what did Jon and Martin leave behind?
By the end neither of them really had many belongings. Martin might've had a flat during season 4 but the chances of him keeping it or anything in it when moving to the safe house are quite slim. At the point of moving there they each had all they'd be able to carry on a train to Scotland, not leaving much space for sentimentality.
But when the apocalypse started how much of this would survive? The cabin was the epicentre of the change, would anything there really last in a meaningful way, return to normal? But of course they did take some things with them.
Martin jokes about the bandages turning into snakes, so clearly they've had issues with some of their own belongings changing based on domains, so even what was valuable enough to bring with them could have been discarded.
Everything that survived the journey with them would have ended up in their makeshift home of the tunnels under the institute. No doubt it ended up spread out through their shared space, a homely mess, but as we all know there was no chance that it would ever last.
As the institute crumbled and Jon bled in Martin's arms they were lost, evidence of their existence crushed and broken down to dust; but not all of it. Passed off to Basira, abandoned in a location that somehow survived.
One golden lighter with a spiderweb design, and one tape recorder loaded with the last conversation of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood. Their remains.
