Ignoring How Emotionally Devastating The Episode Was I Love How Once Joel Accepted He Was A Dad Again

ignoring how emotionally devastating the episode was I love how once joel accepted he was a Dad again he went from reluctant father figure to full blown dad mode. did not hold back. found ellie’s favorite food and a board game for them to play. took her to the zoo (the giraffe feeding scene). asked her if she was ok in the most gentle way possible. told her stories about sarah. compared her to sarah bc they’re both his daughters. told ellie how proud he was of her / how much he cared for her. opened up. said “we’re going home”. murdered dozens of people for her. brought her on a hike. you know. normal dad stuff 

He said, “This is his home now. And it’s worth fighting for”. I’m…*chuckles*…worth fighting for.

i want there to be a kaz vs the darkling fight at least once every season where kaz always wins

and i want them to never actually contribute to the plot. it just happens. kaz puts his cane on top of the darklings cape and he trips. thats the whole fight.

Wesper really has it all now. The books gave us that amazing slowburn and the build up and the pining and now the series is giving us all the fluff and being together and being mushy as fuck.

no but actually andrew telling neil he hates him before kissing him for the first time is sooooo. like andrew never expresses any emotion unless he’s feeling it intensely. he’s always like idc either way when it comes to anything BUT neil. he feels for him so strongly even then he can’t help but spit it out. what matters isn’t those words, it’s the meaning behind them. he’s so overwhelmed by his inability to stop worrying about neil, thinking about neil, that he has to voice it out somehow without compromising himself. i hate you is you’re always on my mind, i hate you is i hate that i can’t stop, i hate that you matter to me, that i cannot be impartial about this. i hate you is an invitation and a promise. i tried to fight this but i know i cant, so fight for both of us until im ready to meet you halfway. stay.

Constantly burdened by the knowledge that Odysseus didn't have to kill Astyanax. Had him just brought him along for the journey back to Ithaca like he proposed in "the horse and the infant", the child would have 100% died anyway. Probably either drowned or starved, but at least an effort to keep him alive would have been made and Odysseus wouldn't have had to hurl that poor little boy down from the city walls.
