2025 - 2026 Season

Having a baby

Getting unfair treatment

[neverendingwatchlist]

"Ripley and Lenox came outta nowhere"

Ripley looking at Lenox like *this* in every scene they had last season

Him being the only person to hug her and her melting into his hug. All while she was pretty much hated by everyone else.

[dream1ngoutloud]

I’ve loved both of them separately from day one, but now that they are together I might love them even more.

Lenox’s odd ways to deal with emotions while being a complete badass (pre diagnosis too) was always endearing to me, she even tried getting close to Dr. Hayes but thankfully she soon found out the jerk he is, and she did the right thing with no hesitation, idk but I really trust her. And when she goes into badass mode I get so proud of her, a complete gem of a character.

Ripley’s guilt about his past and his self hatred at first simply breaks my heart and I’m so proud of how he changed his life around, he dug himself out of the darkness all by himself and began healing and completely changing his violent ways, even when thoroughly provoked he tried letting go but eventually had to defend himself. He’s so intense and loyal I can’t help but root for him.

Together, though, they compliment each other really well. Rip with his journey to being someone he’s proud of and his emotions galore, Cait with her charming inexperience dealing with feelings, along with unwavering confidence.

They both take care of themselves so well. It’d be so nice to see them take care of each other too.

also.. he’s been SO into her these last episodes is insane, all her badass glory visibly turning him on, no way it was outta nowhere.

I love the way you've described them. That's how I see them too. They're both so strong and intense and it's so cute to see them giggling together. It's like they each finally found someone as crazy as themself. The other characters always saw both of them as too much but they don't see each other that way. And I get you, the way Mitch looks at her... ugh she deserves all this and more.

As someone who usually comes off mean and cold hearted, Caitlin Lenox means so much to me. There is a scene of her reading a book to a lonely terminal on her day off. She sat with her patient until they took their last breath because she didn't want them to be alone. She has the biggest heart. I hope they can be happy together for whatever time is left 🥺

[dream1ngoutloud]

oh, thank you! I totally agree with you, who better equipped to deal with someone as crazy, complex and caring as themselves than each other?!.. I love what you said about them not being too much to one another, that’s all anyone could ever want, a very beautiful sentiment.

She deserves the world, I love that scene you mentioned. The way she asked for full skeleton survey to uncover the beatings that the alderman was giving his child after telling Frost not to get involved in season ten was such an awesome move too, and it showed how much she does care!

I hope they get to have a lot of time together and that her fate isn’t as sealed as we may think. 🤞

I don't know what brand of black paint they're using but I think I'm experiencing feelings I've only read about in fanfiction

[dream1ngoutloud]

i wish i had this much confidence in my strokes 😭

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

[formerlyanon]

and we need that! keeps us humble. 

[dabouse]

Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE AN ADULT

[tomboy014]

It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!

[dabouse]

I'm 16, that's like, barely a child

[tomboy014]

I'm in my 30s. You are baby

[digitaldiscipline]

I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.

[kabretoss]

honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

Hi. I'll absolutely do what I can. I admire your strenght and hope you and your family are well. Free Palestine.

Superman and Lois by Lee Weeks.

[goldensunset]

‘twist villain’ is always good of course but i’m such a sucker for ‘twist hero’. specifically as in they write a character to be as suspicious and unnerving as possible without really actually doing anything wrong yet but you just KNOW something is wrong but then surprise. they’re fine actually. all the alleged wrongdoings were either lies harmless or taken out of context. it’s even better if the suspicious aspects of their personality don’t go away after the reveal that they’re a good guy. they just act and look and talk like that for fun. they’re just a little silly

Old Man Marley Kicks Surprising Ass

[iguessweallcrazyithinktho]

Remember Marcellus Williams! A black Muslim man falsely accused. Remember that he's innocent. Remember that the governor of Missouri, mike Parson who had the opportunity to save this man's life, decided not to. Remember all but three supreme court justices decided his life wasn't worth saving either. Remember his face. Remember his Last words. And remember how fucked up this country is

Rest in peace Marcellus
