lanaya's reasoning for choosing sylaise for her vallaslin is absolutely due to tara dying and being sick for so long and tara being a healer herself. ( it's a lot more than that but it's a big part of it )

her vallaslin is prompted by grief, anger, sadness and guilt and likely should not have been allowed to be done when it had only been months since tara died. sibling deaths are a lot, but lanaya losing tara felt so much worse than anything she had ever experienced before, like she would never heal.

when you go through a big, life changing event or loss you want to make a change and the idea of a permanent change is a nice thought. the change being something that's also a coming-of-age and an integral part of her culture also makes it that much more desired for a 19/20 year old grieving woman who's lost so much at that point.

so, lanaya doesn't really choose the vallaslin for herself. lanaya also means selfless. she has never thought of herself first, even in this coming-of-age ceremony that is supposed to be about her and her connection with her culture. she never regrets it or her choice. she loves her sisters and feels very strongly on her choice, but a choice so clouded with feelings that weren't faced inwards?

IF she chose her own for herself, i imagine she'd taken dirthamen or june.

often times in the brba and bcs universe, we see grief and loss through the individual that remains in the aftermath of the actual death. but something that compels me about nacho’s trajectory is that we see his grief before he dies. we see this last phone call with his father, mourning not even just himself but the fact that this will be it. that the loss is not something he can avoid or navigate around, but instead something he just has to choose the best option from. he’s looking around at these future-dead men, hearing his father through the phone, knowing that there are only so many endings available to him — and more than that, that he is at the end of the line. he’s in these desolate landscapes, filled with disconnected individuals (who, only one truly is rooting for him in any capacity,) and knowing that the air he breathes, and the people he loves, and the world he’s surrounded by, will be something that, soon, he will no longer be able to see or hear or touch or love. grief is devastating when there’s this phantom image of a person in the aftermath that can never actually be there, of course it is. but grief before the actual loss has occurred is gutwrenching. we see grief for his father, grief for his life, grief for young nacho varga who, only a few years prior, was seemingly on top of the world and only climbing upward — and inevitably, now falling quite a long ways down. and all he can hope is that, afterwards, the impact he takes will be enough to stop the damage from shattering outward. that it can be his last act of love

~ LOVE HURTS ~ SAD CHRISTMAS PROMPTS

requested by: anonymous

Feel free to use and reblog!

being alone on Christmas eve

fights on Christmas

missing their loved ones when everyone else spends time with theirs

remembering late family members

being sad but everyone expects them to be happy

having their expectations for Christmas disappointed

being with toxic people on Christmas eve

having to work on Christmas eve

being dumped shortly before Christmas

having serious worries that overshadow every Christmas joy

not wanting to carry on their parents' traditions

old conflicts bubbling up during the holidays

having to cry during every Christmas movie

hating all the Christmas decorations around them

trying to ignore everyone's jolly spirit

trying to hide their sadness during the Christmas celebration

trying to make others happy at least

having the winter blues

storming off after a fight with their S/O

saying ugly things on Christmas eve they regret afterwards

thinking a lot about my mom--she would have been 70 today.

we didn't have the best relationship towards the end of her life, but she was my mama, she was my foundation, and i loved her so much.

i still love her. i still miss her. and i know, in spite of her demons, that she loved me too.

happy birthday, mom. ❤
