Athena and Bobby be like: parents who see their son arrive at 6 in the morning drunk, and are told what their son did that evening

I think Bobby realized Athena meant a lot to him in the motorcycle call, and that Athena felt the connection he saw then in church and that's why she agreed on the date.

But I think the falling in love part happens off screen, in the sense that even if they aren't solid at the start of season 2 they're completely gone on each other. Like, their argument goes along the lines of "you mean so much to me I need to be able to enjoy the outside world with you, and I need people to see me with you" and "I can't go out with you because you make me too happy and that's okay while it's hidden and I can pretend but it isn't if anyone else finds out". And Hen says it, they were happy and then angry at the same time and that's how she realizes they're together. Because the knowledge that the other one is out there and they have something brightens their mood.

Does their love grow? Yes. Do they realize it's actually love later on? Probably. That's what the moving together/proposal is about, coming to the realization of the extent of the love they have. But we don't see the moment the attraction and the potential turns to something solid because it's there in season 2.

Hey Bathena nation, help me out here. For a fic: what do you think are the exact moments Bathena fell in love with each other?

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT

you know what they say about apples and trees

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Neil read the following quote from this book:

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately."

The DPS meetings take place in the cave, hidden in the forest. The forest became a place of safety and refuge for the boys.

In the woods, they expressed their feelings, opinions, and creative thoughts to one another, something that would be impossible to do in Hell-ton without being punished.

The poets had the best time outside, surrounded by nature, and not confined to their dorms in Hell-ton.

The colours in the school are bland, pale, and lifeless shades of brown. This is in contrast to the beautiful, bright sunsets outside of the school.

Nature for the boys was a place to run in any direction they wished, instead of walking single file in sync with the rest of the school. I think this is why Mr. Keating taught the majority of his lessons outside, the boys' minds could be as free as the birds.

The poets were exclusively their authentic selves when hidden from the censorious public eye. Only behind closed doors, in concealed places, and in the dark, could the poets become individuals.

Neil however, took a risk and stepped on stage, with all the lights and eyes on him. He expressed himself to the world.

I wonder if Neil's suicide caused the boys to slip back into the shadows of traditionalism. The boys observed first hand what the reprocussions are if you're a freethinking person in an authoritarian society.

The Doctor: Wait, how did this happen? We're smarter than this. Donna: Apparently, we're not.

My dad sends me. Doctor Who character analysis sometimes and here's his latest:

11, more than any other Doctor, is the reason that River says, "Never let the Doctor see you get older." Rose, Martha, Amelia, Clara, Billie, Ryan, and Yaz are all young, all full of a sense of wonder for the things that the Doctor shows them. Donna is an adult. She first decided to become a companion because she was in a rut and wanted to run away from that. So 10 thought she would be like the the others. On their first trip, 9 showed Rose the end of the Earth. When she assumes that he is going to save the Earth, he corrected her. Stating that this is an unchangeable event. From the beginning, he trains her not to question his judgement on what he says cannot be changed. Donna was too old to fall for that and pushes back constantly. Okay, so you can't save everyone in Pompeii, then just save one person. It isn't an all or nothing proposition. He learned from that and tried to do better. Until he got too arrogant and tried to save someone he really should have let die. But then he became 11, the Doctor who forgets. The one who keeps running away more than any other. 200 years running away from Lake Silence. Years in a cloud over Victorian London. Years spent in a monastary.

If he can't save everyone, then fine. He won't save anyone.

Then he became 12, with a face to remind him of Donna's lesson.

Fourteen just tripped into a somersault down the porch stairs and landed on his ass with such a stunned expression that Donna had to sit down she was laughing so hard
