Okay I've Never Seen This Show So I Can Say Nothing About The Characters But Like... That Lace Is Ripping

The person who first discovered that coconut could be eaten must have experienced depths of hunger many will never know.

I love this show with all my heart

i fully believe that if tess hadn't gotten bit, she would have gotten them to wyoming in a month and a half with sam and henry in tow, fixed ellie's survivor's guilt, bullied joel into growing the fuck up and feeling his feelings, and then settled in jackson with them once she realized the fireflies are fucking stupid and have no clue what they're doing.

and she would have looked incredibly hot the whole time

I speak English (fluently) and Spanish (well enough I'm living in Spain and all my classes are in Spanish and it's fine)!

The weird thing with studying abroad though is by the standards of other Erasmus students I'm weird. One of my friends here speaks four languages extremely well (Italian, English, German, and Spanish) and that's not even unusual it's wild.

I'm desperate to learn more though, at school I took one year where I had Spanish, french, Latin, and classical Greek and it was wonderful

how many languages do you speak?

(i’m counting languages where you took one class for a semester if you retained any of it congrats you are a little multilingual)

Omar, so sick of this bullshit, making Andhera teleport just to tell Rue how in love Hob is with them:

Endless ACOFAF

results of this btw: went to write something for the codywan first kiss bingo, ended up with several hundred words on the mandalorian political situation.

ao3 is down, so now I must get my fanfic quota via writing it myself.

surprisingly good motivation lol

one of the most important lesson I teach to all the kids I tutor is to work out *why* they got a question wrong, because the reason means how we deal with it is completely different.

got it wrong because you didn't know how to do it? cool, let me teach you this method!

got it wrong because you didn't understand what the question was asking? cool, let's go through how to read exam questions and figure out exactly what they want.

got it wrong because you didn't check for arithmetic errors, or you didn't catch them? cool, let's go through how to check your work correctly.

and it really annoys them sometimes, because they want to just move on, but when they start doing this our seasons move so much faster, because if they got something wrong they can tell me why and we can fix it rather than me trying to figure it out. yeah, it takes a while, but asking why mistakes are made is really important!

one of the most annoying things about corporate culture is that everything needs a "solution". if one person makes the smallest mistake we gather like 12 people in a room and talk about our "plan to make sure this doesn't happen again". a plan?? someone set a support ticket status wrong and we need a plan? ok here is my plan, we remind them what the correct status is and we immediately move on. but no we have to be """solutions-focused""". ridiculous. its for managers who have nothing to do all day and need to justify their 200k a year salary. how about you FOCUS on leaving my team alone buddy.

i didn't get to go into this in as much detail as I wanted in oathbreaker because it was already at like 13k words when I stopped

But in my head:

they weren't trying specifically for a kid but they also weren't trying not to, they both kinda thought they were too old

they both had a really rough time when they first found out - Maria because of Kevin and being pregnant again when her son should be an adult but was stuck forever at three, and Tommy because of Sarah because I will die on the hill of Tommy basically raised Sarah with Joel and it broke him just as much when he died

this is when they made the memorial we see as a way to remind themselves they aren't forgetting Sarah and Kevin

by the time Maria's in her second trimester they are both incredibly excited but show it very differently

Maria has done this once, and is excited to be a parent without freaking out every time the baby does anything

Maria is also greatly enjoying not throwing up the whole time like she did with Kevin

Tommy also panics constantly whenever Maria looks even marginally uncomfortable

Tommy has just gone fully insane over being a father

Maria is four months along and he starts rebuilding part of the house so they have a proper nursery

He makes a rocking chair and a crib and a load of wooden toys

He also starts bringing back baby clothes from patrol runs except he has no idea how newborn sizing works so a bunch of it goes to the coop in town

Maria does not take maternity leave until she is like, actively in labour, and then she still finishes a council meeting before telling Tommy who freaks out and sprints for the doctor, tripping on his shoelaces as he runs out the door so now the do tor has to deal with Maria giving birth and also Tommy's broken nose

The baby is incapable of going to sleep without being held because between Maria and Tommy they are always holding him and then Ellie and joel get back and this baby is spoiled as hell (as all babies should be)

picturing the sweet shocked look on tommy’s face when maria told him she was pregnant
