some thoughts @4kaia - Tumblr Blog

But she did change the world, Dexter thought. Emma Morley changed his world, and he would forever be grateful for that. He just wished he knew if she realised that. Just how much she meant to him.

Excerpt from my Dex and Emma fic that lives in my brain rent-free, but won't probably see the light of day... 🥺

Edit: People actually like this? Wow!

I could write a whole essay about the fact that Dex says “I was talking to you” to that dancer after Emma dies.

Emma was so much more than just his wife or the love of his life. She was arguably the only person that he could talk to honestly. And when she died, he had no one to talk to about his feelings about his grief. Because she was the one he always went to with that and now she’s gone.

I think this relates back to his relationship with his mom, who is probably the only person he saw himself in. And when his mom died, he didn’t know how to handle it. This is the same with Emma.

Emma was the most intimate, deepest relationship he had. And when he lost that relationship, he lost himself. When he lost Emma, he lost not only his past or his present, but the future they were building together, the future he envisioned for them.

And when he’s drunk on the anniversary of her death, he just wants someone to listen to him grieve.

Uranus' Moon Ariel: Valley World - March 3rd, 1996.

"What formed Ariel's valleys? This question presented itself when Voyager 2 passed this satellite of Uranus in January of 1986. Speculation includes that heating caused by the ancient tides of Uranus caused moonquakes and massive shifting of the moon's surface. In any event, a huge network of sunken valleys was found to cover this frozen moon, and some unknown material coats the bottoms of many of these channels. Ariel is the second closest to Uranus outside of Miranda, and is composed of roughly half water ice and half rock. Ariel was discovered by William Lassell in 1851."
