You see, Martin says 'I grieved for you' to Jon, but this doesn't do justice for just what he would have gone through.

As most people know, having a loved one in hospital is horrible, but Jon's case is an entirely different thing. Assuming Jon was initially taken to a hospital in Great Yarmouth, it would've taken Martin a while to get there, even if he left right away. He might have missed Jon's emergency treatment, but he certainly didn't miss the worst of it.

Many people assume that CPR is a quick, simple, lifesaving procedure, it is not. Jon was found not breathing, and without a pulse, so he would have had at least 20 minutes straight of CPR, and that messes up a body. On a person as weak as Jon it would badly break ribs, and cause a lot of bruising. Even if Martin didn't have to watch Jon's chest be crushed to no avail, that type of damage is often visible.

I don't know if you've ever seen a dead body, but it's different to an unconscious one in every way. Jon of course, was not dead, but he would absolutely look it. As I'm sure you know, blood being pumped is what keeps the body warm, and breathing accounts for a large part of what we perceive as living, so the absence of both of these, especially in a loved one, is jarring, and likely to send anyone into shock

In lots of TV shows you see doctors calling deaths, but in reality it's actually quite a difficult thing to diagnose. It's not a quick check of the pulse and you're done, there's a lot of tests; there are many conditions that can look like death. In Jon's case his mind and nerves were still active, meaning it would have been picked up on fairly quickly, but Jon would have been assumed dead until these tests were completed.

The thing with a case like this, is there's nothing the doctors can feasibly do; as Elias says, it's an unknown quantity. The most likely course of action would be to make him as comfortable as possible, and redo the death checks every so often. There would be no hope for his recovery, but legally the hospital would have to do this, and would be able to offer very little comfort.

Although of course you want your loved one to survive, many family members of coma patients confess to hoping that they'd just die. The limbo of waiting is impossible to process, and having them there but having no way to communicate with them can be excruciating. There's no way to properly grieve for someone if you always have it in the back of your mind that they could wake up.

Giving up on someone like that is terribly and awfully painful. You can tell them you're sorry all you want, but you'll always be thinking about how they'd have wanted you to stay. Having to create both sides of an interaction like that when truly you're in control of neither is simply impossible to recover from.

Every action Martin took after Jon's death was justified, logical, even. To succumb to the lonely after leaving the man you love, sentencing him to die alone?

It feels right.

mr. knightley asking harriet to dance after she's so visibly snubbed by elton is the best romantic gesture in all of fiction maybe and every damn time it sneaks up on me and makes me want to sob my face off in the nicest way

#IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER YOU GOTTA GET WITH MY FRIENDS!!!!!#like. that's husband level.#dollsome's deep thoughts #emma #jane austen #was not prepared for that scene in my rewatch today and it clobbered me exquisitely over the head for the millionth time #it sounds weird to say the greatest romantic gesture in fiction is one not even between the two characters in love #but y'all get it right?????

Thronebreaker is such good writing

it would have been easy to portray Meve as this awe-inducing force of nature, badass queen (and don't get me wrong, she is) but it's every time the narrator shows us her moments of weakness - a trembling arm, a shaky breath, tears being blinked back, questioning her decisions - that i truly lose it.

kuddos to the writers for turning me absolutely feral about this woman

#thronebreaker #crazy how you know these characters mostly by listening to the narrator and yet #you get so attached to them #the excellent voice acting helps but dear gods the writing is exquisite #the witcher #marion plays thronebreaker

Con O’Neill has perfected the art of trying not to cry and failing

#I bust out a cheer routine everytime he does it #it’s my FAVORITE THING HE DOES #it’s exquisite #it’s not just that he can do really good crying instantly #like eyes wet throat thick stuffy nose and everything #it’s that he gets the trying not to cry/trying to talk through it so painfully accurate #it’s crying while conveying the extreme pain and shame that this character wants so badly NOT to be crying right now #con o’neill #con o'neill #izzy hands #ecdysing

“To everyone else he was Tran. In English, the short sharp syllable suggested movement (transmission, transpose) and the crossing of boundaries (transcontinental, tranquilize, transvestite), both of which he liked.”

Veth, after surviving something she didn't think she would, going out in the middle of the night alone and looking at her own reflection in the water of the Blooming Grove's spring. She's already survived the unsurvivable--a few times, at that--so what's there left to be afraid of? So she gets in the water, the thing she has been most terrified of for so long, and just floats there, looking up at the stars, stealing a moment of peace in a place she was once too afraid to even touch

#no but we really DON'T talk enough about just how significant her late night swim was #I mean WHAT a character moment for her at the end of this arc #might have to actually write something longer about veth's end of campaign character arc sometime because it's pretty fucking exquisite #cr2 rewatch 2: electric boogaloo #cr2e141 #critical role #the mighty nein #veth brenatto

just finished poppy z. brite's "exquisite corpse" and it absolutely wrecked me. was especially really, eerily compelled by the abusive and tense relationship between luke and tran.

they are both such fascinating and honest characters. i've met them, i've known them, i've loved them, i've been them. so i had to sketch them out.

i really loved the book but it is incredibly graphic and is probably the most objectively vile thing i've ever read. it's a book about two gay serial killers, the runaway who gets caught up with them, and his abusive ex-bf-turned-abrassive-niche-radio-host.

but, it is also such an honest and compelling exploration of queer relationships, of desire, of mortality, and of the social impact of HIV/AIDs. also the prose is bone-chilling, beautiful, and gruesome while still feeling very down-to-earth and real.

#art tag #exquisite corpse #billy martin #poppy z. brite #poppy z brite #queer authors #trans authors #queer characters #digital sketch #digital art #character design #none of these characters are blorbos i hope this goes without saying LMAO

Day fourty-one | id in alt

Kugisaki looks so wack Everytime she's not paying attention, she's thinking of shopping, meaning a friend or a third more sinister and bad thing.

#dailykugisaki #jjk #kugisaki nobara #itadori yuji #nanami kento #A LIL OF HIM BC I VANT DRAW HIM #trust before i slapped on itadori i was trying my fucking hardesy to draw him and it just wasn't fucking clicking #hes cool but i low-key think i cant draw suits #pink ass drink #idk Kugisaki made me sad earlier because i thought about how she and her grandma got into a fight before she left her own it was WILD to fi #nd that how in twitter q&a posts and the wiki #also i coulf go on forever about nobara #because gege cant fucking build up a character that has no ties to the major clans or the bug bads apparently #Kugisaki was expirienced but like ts never talked upon on what she did to learn that early #she was legit building herself from thw ground up in a group of fucking prodigies!!! she is the fucking WORLD #Kugisaki should've been expanded upon because she is like she doesn't have inherited powerful techniques #she could've been exquisite and im always pissed about it #Bucket slightly rants in the tags

since his ultimate fate is unknown to us for now, let's as a fandom get together and manifest that the watsonian explanation for rael averross being nowhere to be found in the clone wars era is that he quit being a jedi and is out there getting laid and going to therapy, rather than because he, y'know... died horrifically or eventually succumbed to the dark side after all or suffered similar jedi-related work hazards

#since he was five when he was brought to the temple I think he'd probably do better outside the order than most ex-jedi #I just like to think of him kicking around out there like the jedi order's collective weird cowboy hobo uncle is all #rael averross #star wars #master and apprentice #claudia grey making up a whole guy to establish that qui-gon was actually the stuck-up party pooper out of dooku's apprentices... exquisite #she was so right for that #his and qui-gon's character developing sparring match *is* basically a theology debate tho so you know. still a nerd lol

Weirdly, I think my number 1 blorbo woman is Amy Sosa from Superstore. She's just got it all for me. I love her so, so much. I don't have a ton of desire to write fic for her (except sometimes porn), but rest assured I think about her regularly. No one's doing it like her.

#amy sosa #superstore #i actually love all the women on that show a ton #but i fucking love amy she's perfect in her imperfections #so fucking smart but allowed to have her stupid moments and knowledge gaps #kind of prickly but deeply kind and cares so much about her people #takes cheyenne under her wing but tries not to be obvious about it #reluctant leader but she'll rise to the occasion #can be obsessive and irrational but has the self-awareness to see she's careening off the deep end #have i mentioned fiercely loyal omg it takes some time to get in there but once someone does...#and she's so goddamn funny #i love her when she fails i love her when she succeeds #and i can't believe i fell so hard for a sitcom character #who saw that kind of depth coming from a sitcom!#but her growth! her character development! exquisite!#her whole arc is amazing and deep down i want everyone to love her #she starts out unhappy but unable to imagine better but not really making that unhappiness anyone's problem #because she's a responsible mature adult firmly planted in reality #and by the end she's finally able to grab opportunity with both hands and not just reach for something better #but something she actually WANTS #also jonah i'll never be over their relationship but like this is about amy rn
