#star crossed love

[mythosblogging]

The kindness of strangers is the strangest thing. Excepting the kindness of birds.

The moon is a lonely place, although I am not alone.

The empty planes of my home are covered only in silver and grey fields, empty of everything except the craters and the hills that mar the surface, far less beautiful than the trees that used to fill my horizons.

Below my once-home is round and wet and pebbled like a dampened stone, a blue and perfect sphere with jagged curls of green and brown and grey, growing lichen-like across its distant face.

From the Moon

I've truly seen it all. Every human to ever exist, every plant, every animal, even the unicelular beings that came before them. I saw coincidences bring lovers together and I saw miscommunication and misunderstandings break them apart. I saw people cry for love and I saw people cry of pain

I saw so many humans love eachother beneath me. I saw wars fuled by love and by hate break out; all the blood spilled in the name of love and gods that will never see... All beneath me.

But none of the lovers I united matter, for I cannot be united with my one true love. No matter how much I chase after them, how long I stay after I'm supposed to leave, they're always so close yet so far.

Thair beauty is beyond compare, the most elegant the most perfect being to ever exist in this oh so big universe. I love them so much. I long for the day we may finally unite; untill then we must satisfy ourselves by only apreciating eachoter from such long distance.

Oh my love! In the end, we may surely die as star-crossed lover when we meet, for mithical shall be the day we finally unite.

Oh my love! From the moment I saw you I knew our impossible love would be fatal, but here I stand, with opened arms, at the altar of your maiden foot awaiting to be destroyed, for whole is the only thing I can possibly be when I at last have your live, even if it means my ultimate death. There is no better death than being chewed up and swallowed by the infinite rays of your love.

To my forever star-crossed lover, the sole reason of my existence and ultimate cause of my death, The Sun.

I’m literally such a dumbass. HUGE (mini?) CROSSHAIR INSIGHT (This is spoiler safe 💕)

I’ve always glazed over the extra little piece over Crosshair’s chest plate on his Bad Batch armor. Always just thought "oh, his armor design is cool and unique."

IT'S LITERALLY A CUSHION FOR THE STOCK OF HIS RIFLE FOR THE RECOIL.

I've shot some rifles here and there and GD your shoulder gets sore from getting punched with the recoil, no matter how good you are at compensating/bracing. Even with his katarn-class armor, I'm sure it wouldn't be comfy. Because Crosshair is the only clone we really see with something like this, I'm going to assume it's not standard-issue. Which then means he went to Space-JoAnn's or raided the GAR supply closet for some scraps and arts-and-crafts-ed it himself.

Then I noticed his Empire armor doesn’t have that cushion. Yes de-individualization, but it’s also an indication that the Empire doesn’t care about any discomfort/pain that Crosshair may suffer from his rifle recoil. I can’t with this 😭

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😭🫠

also tagging some friends who witnessed this epiphany/may be interested since I added a few things lmao

*spoilers for One Day*

For people saying ‘it’s tragic, Dex and Em only got 3 years together’ no. They got 15 years together.

Glossing over the span of their life together to sum it up as ‘only 3 years together’ misses all the love and time they had together that wasn’t solely romantic.

Why is their relationship only ‘important’ or ‘counts’ when it’s a romantic one? Maybe there was always romantic love buried in there or growing steadily but there was a whole lot of platonic love there too.

For 15 years they were the most important person in the world to one another, they described each other as their ‘best friend’ and the person they reached out to at every high and low moment. And for the last 3 of those years they were also a couple.

There are loads of examples of Dex reaching out to Em when he’s at his lowest: the last birthday with his mum, then he’s reeling from his divorce, when he’s scared people will hate him on TV. And you *could* read that as pathetic and Em being his emotional crutch, with Dex latching into her. But you could *also* see that as when you’re struggling and low, you just want your best friend. Because they *get* you. And part of being a best friend is being there in those low moments.

And Em has done the same with Dex, just in different ways. That first year out of uni Em had no idea what she was doing; in a job she couldn’t wait to leave, a relationship that didn’t make her happy, not sure where she was going in life or what she was doing. Em writes to Dex often, and doesn’t need him to reply to her, just to read her letters and be *her* emotional crutch and person to vent to.

Even at that breakup-dinner, Em has things she ‘needs to talk about’ and she’s reached out to Dex to do it. We don’t see her discussing it with Tilly, we see her trying to talk about it with Dex. She’s at arguably her lowest moment (hates her job, hates her partner, hates her home) and she wants her best friend to listen to her. Just like he did when she was 24 and thinking about giving up and leaving London, and Dex convinced her to stay and keep going.

So they are emotional crutches *to one another*. That’s also part of being someone’s best friend.

And for all the low moments Dex also wanted to share his best moments with her too: when he’s excited about the TV pilot he calls Em to say ‘the only person I want to share this with is you’, and begs Em to find a way to be there. Yes this is also him dismissing and ignoring her achievements, yes this is self absorbed and rude and at the height of his egomania, but in that moment of triumph he only wants his best friend there with him.

When they see one another again at Tilly’s wedding Em is brave and self assured when she reveals she’s ‘thought of you every day, missed you every day’, and that even though they are friends again now the fact that Dex will have a wife and child ‘feels a bit like loosing you all over again. Because people with families have different priorities…’ That’s how close they were before.

The sentiment that ‘we grew up together’ is really true, for the both of them. They were very different people throughout their lives, and if they had tried to be a romantic couple earlier there is no guarantee that version of them would have lasted the course.

Would Emma have stayed with a peak-of-his-tv-fame Dex, partying and living life ‘to the full’? Or would they have explosively ended and decided they were too different for one another for it to ever work?

Would Dex have even tried for a career in TV or a full year of travelling if he’d become a couple with Emma after Uni? Or would he have done something else but grown resentful of what-could-have-been?

If they had sorted out their issues and apologised after their fight and Em had left Ian, would Em have found the strength to turn rock bottom into a spring board and finally write her book? Would she have even hit that bottom at all? Or would the hook have remained a pipe dream while she continued as a teacher, happy with Dex but professionally unfulfilled?

We will never know what could have been, and that doesn’t necessarily make those alternatives the ‘better’ option that they ‘missed out on’.

Maybe they would only ever have had 3 years together as a couple and getting it in their mid 30’s the way they did was their most mature and peaceful version.

So yes at times their relationship feels like it’s moving toward the inevitable conclusion of a romantic partnership. But the time before they get there wasn’t wasted or unimportant or unnecessary. And they were always together.

Sometimes when Terzo wants Omega's attention he just. Throws himself at him. Full on leap at him or fall backward, without so much as tensing, perfectly loose and relaxed. Because he knows that there is no universe in which Omega doesn't catch him. Because Terzo knows the fabric of the world itself could start unraveling, and those strong arms would still find a way to wrap around him.
