Y'ALL WHEN I SAY THE TENSION WAS REAL.

For some context, these two are married. And recently Grelle remarked that maybe she should move on from Vanya. I wanted to stir the pot so I was like "maybe you should" and Grelle stood her ground like "no, that's too cold. I won't do it." (Like first of all we love a faithful queen.)

So when I saw that Vanya and Grelle were in one of the enraged fights I was terrified.

One last thing about Dtalia while its on my mind,

A few weeks ago, or a couple, I haven't really kept track,

I was rewatching Thomas and the Magic Railroad because that movie slaps,

And I had the thought of "what if Vanya got isikaied onto the Island of Sodor." Its probably not as entertaining as I thought it was, but the image of Vanya trying to grapple with being on an island with no people*, but dozens of talking trains, a bus, as well as other things.

And Vanya somehow becomes this fatherly-ish figure to them. And tells snooty ass Gordon not to be so bossy. And tells Diesel 10 to stop being a bully.

Again it was funny to me at the time. Just a silly scenario I thought of while walking down memory lane.

*Also I know other people technically exist but in Magic Railroad and the other versions of Thomas Ive seen, I never see any other humans.

*And in Magic Railroad, the humans on Sodor consist of Mr. Conductor and his cousin, Lily, her grandpa, and Lily's friend she made when coming to Shining Time

*Also also- the fact Alec Baldwin plays in this movie, and also played in the live action Cat in the Hat, Im pretty sure. Two very different characters but I have a hard time seeing one without the other now. Every time I see Mr. Conductor in MR, I also see Alec Baldwin in TCITH ripping off his girdle and picking his belly button, and when the dog whizzed on his taco. So yeah lmao.

*and Peter Fonda (Lily's grandpa) brings an atmosphere that you would not expect from a damn Thomas the Tank Engine movie. In Nostalgia Critic's words "Its Thomas the fucking Tank Engine!", not that I mind that much lmao

Lets talk about CZ/Dreamtalia Tver for a second while Im on my Dreamtalia kick.

So I don't like him because of how he treats Vanya in Chapter Zero. He's very cold. Not that Tver isnt entirely unjustified. He thinks Vanya abandoned him, and Tver was pretty much alone in his whole childhood. Vanya got sucked into another dimension for a long time. Im not entirely sure where or why that was though, it may have something to do with when Vanya got yoinked into the 2p world? I really don't know for sure. And as far as Im aware, Im not sure Vanya has ever tried explaining what happened to Tver.

But,

I wonder what happened to Tver once Vanya kicked the bucket. Because Tver is Vanya's kid and the last interaction those two have before Vanya dies is not a positive one.

Does Tver mourn? Is he bothered by Vanya's death at all? And if you saw my last post, I beg the question again, does Tver ever take Medy???

I cant say one way or the other but an idea I had was that maybe Tver did grieve for Vanya; and regretted being so mean to him, and knowing that being mean to him was the last thing he ever did to Vanya. I thought it humanized Tver a bit, made him more than whats shown in CZ. But I could also be way off the mark.

In that idea I mentioned, Reve also brought Tver into the dreamscape once or twice so he could "say goodbye" to Vanya one last time. (One of thr arcana are made to look like Vanya.) But Tver was only there that one or two dreams. Im not even sure Reve would do that to Tver considering he knows how Tver was toward Vanya.

Dreamtalia post because why not, but,

Honest to god what happens to Medy after Vanya kicks the bucket in CZ.

Is Medy canonically immortal like him??? Did Ivan or Tver take her, or is she hiding in the woods around Vanya's property?

Part of me is afraid to know the truth because there's a possibility that Medy isn't immortal and passed away after CZ.

And if that's the case then knowing the truth would be more of a burden than not. (I really love Medy ok-)

But my headcannon is that Ivan took Medy and she gets to eat KFC every so often as a treat. Just. A bucket full of KFC chicken.
