- Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
headcannon - Tyler totally kisses Kateโs scar.
Okay, so this is a few years down the line, theyโre an established couple and marriage is this distant but not far thing, the important thing is theyโre happy and content and okay and thatโs a rare thing for people like them. Over the years everyoneโs slowly healed, Kate got therapy, Javi got therapy, they actually talked and slowly dealt with everything. So, she eventually starts wearing shorts more and more often. The scar is still this big reminder of everything that happened, but sheโs slowly learning to accept it. Then, Tyler starts doing this thing where when the two of them are together, (Kateโs watching the news or reading and his head is in her lap, just cuddling her because that manโs love language is gifts and touch) he presses a kiss to her scar. At first she doesnโt even notice because itโs a quick barely there thing, like itโs a subconscious movement almost.
And then Kate notices, and she notices it happens so damn often. Like Tylerโs barely aware and at the same time itโs almost worshiping, like itโs second hand nature to love the thing that for years she hated with a passion. And he just keeps donโt it, and brushing his fingers against the scar, and staring at it with this barely concealed awe and she doesnโt get it.
So Kate finally snaps and asks him why? And sheโs really asking, why do you love the worst part of me, because the scar to her represents her failure and how it lead to her friendโs deaths. Tyler just stares at her, because to him it is so simple and easy he stopped questioning it years ago, because it means you survived. And heโs really saying, because it means youโre here and alive and I got to love you, I got to be loved by you.
And heโs really saying, your survival is beautiful and I love you for it.
(Somebody steal my computer and phone, I have so many thoughts about these idiots.)
FOUND family??? you think i just found them like this??? babes this is FORGED family. Me & the bros were scrap metal in a junkyard (very valuable, very sharp, very dangerous, uncared for) and we GOT IN THE FUCKING FIRE TOGETHER. WE did this. we said I AM NOT LEAVING YOU and melted into each other for better or for worse (itโs for better) and we are A FUNCTIONAL UNIT now. DO NOT SEPARATE. BATTERIES FUCKING INCLUDED. FOUND family my ass, we built this non-nuclear family unit from the ground up, donโt devalue this!!! it was is and will be a labour of love!!!

when you watch the most emotionally devastating movie ever and now your listening to Phoebe Bridgers and crying on your closet floor to cope

my new favourite moment of season 3: mari genuinely trying to revive the dead guy by scooping his splattered brains back into his skull while lottie scoops it back out playing with her new blood foundation shade called 'you'll see' from her collection called 'the wilderness is me'.
โAnd when they speak of Troy, they speak of Helen who fled with Paris for love, and this inspires verse. Not Briseis, who lost all, all she ever loved and was used as barter in a war that wasnโt hers. Not Cassandra, who tried to warn them but was called liar because of a Gods curse. Not Hecuba, who was forced to give all her children to this cruel beast she knew would never be satisfied. Not Andromache, who lost her beloved husband Hector to a battle he should not have had to fight, and her baby to the ruthlessness of the victors and their spite. I suppose as a woman your value in war is simply casualty if your face isnโt synonymous with devastating beauty, that powerful men wish to possess and claim so much, that they will launch a thousand ships in their own misplaced honour, yet blame it on your name.โ
