[green-sweatered-spinster]

Be there in ten.

[theaiofancaster]

Where you at girl? I’m here.

[green-sweatered-spinster]

Wait... I think I went to the wrong Wendy's.

[theannecordeliashirley]

Should we just reschedule? Or are you going to come to this one? Or should I go to that one?

[green-sweatered-spinster]

I'll go to yours. Unless you're already on your way to mine.

[theaiofancaster]

Be there in 3

[green-sweatered-spinster]

Hey! I think I see you.

[theaiofancaster]

Yeah! Hey!!

[theaiofancaster]

WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER 💜

"What's wrong? You're all looking at me as though I've grown a third nostril."

...

"Connie wants me to kiss her hello?"

...

"I'm going to be sick if it gets any sweeter." "There's a bucket outside."

...

"We could call a spade a spade. As it is, we're discussing rings!"

Story Time

So. I'm taking Krav Maga and there was this really cute guy in class. I didn't have a crush on him, I was just acknowledging the fact that he was fiiiiiinnnneeee. Anywho.

I had my friend Beth and her husband over for dinner (they were in my Krav class as well) and my dad started talking about "the cute guy at Krav that B has a crush on". I protested (of course) saying "I don't have a crush on him, I just think he's cute." Beth interrupts with "No, no. B's right. He is good-looking."

[theaiofancaster]

Going through old posts and I completely forgot that I headcanoned Joanne as an Amy Grant fan.. Relevance being that I made a friend this year who is LITERALLY Joanne incarnate and is an Amy Grant fan.

[theaiofancaster]

I feel like we don’t talk enough about Days to Remember

Girl that album was the only one my library had. I have every episode on it memorized.

[aiorevelations]

This image was from the cover art for episodes 351-400.

[sparkythehappygiraffe]

Ur KIDDING

Have we ever gotten Tasha art before???

Because tbh this is spot on with the picture in my head

[theaiofancaster]

*fangirling over Tasha art*

[theaiofancaster]

Matthew Gray Gubler as Mitch

I can see him better as Eugene tbh (I think I actually did a post with him as Eugene but I don’t remember).

[theaiofancaster]

Headcanon:

Jack and Joanne do Krav Maga together. They get a chance to spar twice a month and Connie calls it their version of couple's therapy.

🚨 Christmas Shoes game update 🚨

Four out of ten contestants are out already.

We started this game a little over a week ago.

It's not even December.

Will this game last by the time by the time December comes? Who knows.

To the rest of the contestants: good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

[grape-flavored-rukuuuuuu]

Heyy can I play this game of inescapable death

[harlowdoylepi]

Sure why not 😂

[odyssey-owl]

Can I play too?

[theannecordeliashirley]

Oh my gosh this seems so terrible and fun at the same time.

[grape-flavored-rukuuuuuu]

I vote we organize the official AIO Tumblr community event: the Christmas Shoes avoidance game

[btv-grace-deactivated20250106]

Reblog if you're in

[odyssey-owl]

Yes

[theannecordeliashirley]

Yup

I’ll try and play from my AIO blog but no promises

[odyssey-owl]

I lost

[theaiofancaster]

I’m sorry.

[btv-grace-deactivated20250106]

May the choirs of angels come to greet you. May they lead you to paradise. May the Lord uphold you in his mercy. May you find eternal life.

May the perpetual light shine upon you Will. Give Hal, Walker, Alan, Dave, and Janet hugs for us....I know they'll be happy to see you again. ❤️

[odyssey-owl]

Grace you're making me cry again

[theaiofancaster]

😭😭😭

[z00r0p4]

Ya I won’t lie I’m shedding some tears rn

[odyssey-owl]

It hasn't sunk in yet. I'll probably cry the next time I hear his voice. I don't even want to hear a Eugene episode right now.

[z00r0p4]

Yeah I think if I tried listening to one right now I’d start bawling.

[jumbofork]

I hadn't heard the news yet and my heart dropped to the floor when I saw this post. I don't think I've scrambled to check Facebook so quickly before. Can't believe it.

[z00r0p4]

I’m devastated.

[aiorevelations]

Us too. The show will never be the same.

Right now we’re thinking of all our favorite moments and relationships on the show involving Eugene.

His relationship with Katrina which is sweet and beautiful. Him being the best dad to Buck. His brotherhood with Jason which is simply the best. His endearing friendship with Connie (and of course their banter). Him learning how to drive. Crashing Katrina’s parents vow renewal. Being reunited with his father. His road trip with Bernard. And so many more.

And how we’ll never hear these relationships and types of moments on the show again (At least not with Will voicing Eugene). 😔

[odyssey-owl]

I wonder how they will proceed with the storylines. I don't think it would be the same if they hired anyone else to voice Eugene.

[grape-flavored-rukuuuuuu]

They won't. They had considered it when Will departed the series during the Novacom era and ultimately decided they couldn't.

Now, will they give the Character of Eugene another Novacom-esque sendoff or simply make him disappear from the show, that's the big question.

[odyssey-owl]

I've been thinking a lot this morning and I may have an idea for the future of AIO, how they would handle it without Will.

An episode similar to the time has come, entitled "Eugene," which consists of a compilation of his life and how he impacted the people around him. No matter what they choose to do with the character, I hope he will be honored more than some other passings in Odyssey.

I wouldn't be able to listen to Connie going through another grief arc, which is why I'm a little hesitant on some of these ideas. At the same time though, I don't want the writers to just ignore everything that happened.

I'm still thinking about this next idea. I'm not sure if it would be too sad, or if it would be a good continuation of some storylines. Something to carry on the memory of Eugene. Maybe Buck finds letters from Eugene and Katrina saying they want to adopt Buck. Maybe Katrina could have a miracle baby storyline, but I think that last one might be too heartbreaking since Eugene wouldn't be there for it.

I don't know. These are just my thoughts about it. I have no idea what they're going to do. I don't think they'll do anything for a while anyway, because it's such a big loss for all of them, and all of us, the fans too.

[btv-grace-deactivated20250106]

Guys- what if this is where Odyssey ends? We always thought the snow would end with whit passing but, what if Eugene and Katrina take buck to Africa and that's how the show ends?

[odyssey-owl]

That is a possible outcome too

[grape-flavored-rukuuuuuu]

I'm sure they're considering it. Fresh off the heels of the masterpiece that is the Olivia's Questions series, though, I'd hate for them to end the show completely. There's still good stories to tell here, if only they look.

[odyssey-owl]

So true

[theaiofancaster]

I-

I can’t even begin to think about what this means for Odyssey.

[theaiofancaster]

Watching Law and Order: SVU and Bradley Cooper is playing a character named Jason Whittaker.

Y’know, I could see it

[theaiofancaster]

Wait….

Will Ryan died yesterday????????!!!!!!

[btv-grace-deactivated20250106]

Imagine if, in the current era, there was an episode with Team Meltsner where B—-d-n comes over. Buck asks who he is & Eugene freaks out

Yesssssssssssssssss

Katrina: an old friend of mine is coming over for dinner. His name is br*nd*n.

Buck: oh cool. How do you know each other?

Eugene:* drops plate*

[the-doodle-nerd]

Eugene: *trauma flashbacks*

[z00r0p4]

No here’s how it would go down:

Eugene would start off the night like “oh this is totally ok! We’re all grown up now— married with children, as the phrasing goes! No animosity at all whatsoever! It’s all in the past!”

Brandon and his wife come over and it’s all okay but then as the night goes on Eugene starts throwing out all of these weird flexes until he ends up making an absolute fool of himself in some way and taking the biggest L.

[z00r0p4]

Brandon: okay, Mr. Meltsner 🙄

Eugene: you know i’m ABD, now,

Katrina: Eugene—

Eugene: pretty soon that’ll be DR. Meltsner

[odyssey-owl]

Yes to all of this!

[the-doodle-nerd]

Eugene also tries to one up Brandon by dropping all the stuff he and Katrina did, like get kidnapped, going parachuting, Katrina getting kidnapped, hand up, faking getting kidnapped, etc.

[z00r0p4]

Brandon: my father drives an Aston Martin

Eugene: my papa drives a Rolls Royce

Buck: mah dad drives a Ram 1500 🤠

[odyssey-owl]

*Katrina sweating in the corner because her parents owned like fifteen sports cars*

[grape-flavored-rukuuuuuu]

Katrina (ending the argument): I don’t have a dad

[harlowdoylepi]

*awkward silence immediately falls*

Buck *quietly puts his arm around her because he knows he hasn't had a real one until recently*

Eugene and Brandon: *uncomfortable squirming*
