I finished watching lone star a few days ago and the scene which has been continuously playing in my head on loop (besides Tarlos obviously) is the coma-dream conversation between Gwyn and TK. Especially that part where TK confesses that he kinda blew up everything because things were getting "too perfect".
And, I just can't help thinking about it because not only it was kinda in character with TK but also it's just such a human and valid reaction in general, because sometimes rainbows do mean that the next storm is brewing nearby. TK has barely experienced a perfect family, or a perfect relationship of his own and now that he is getting the best of both worlds, having a joint ownership of a house solidified everything in stone. A more apparent reminder that if things ever go south, the pain of separation would be something time can never mend.
It's such a beautiful realization for TK that the risk of that unbearable pain "is the risk of love, right?" That if life is just a choice between different kinds of pain then choosing to not have any relationship milestones with a man who wants to give TK the world is way worse than the crumbling of said milestones.
TK and Carlos's characters are so tenderly written, it's truly a delight to watch their relationship unfold even when sometimes the storylines are not such a delight lmao.

How long is this Owen hate thing going to go on? It's honestly kind of funny how people seem to just look for reasons to hate on him. I feel like 404 just gave them even more reason to do so while simultaneously deifying the Reyes'. The thing is, my problem isn't even with the characters, I like them all. My problem is with the double standards. The Reyes' are obviously not perfect either. And even though Carlos’s relationship with them seems to be better, the fact that he didn't feel like he could go to them after him and TK broke up shows that things are still not great between them. Not to mention Gabriel's comment about how Carlos should have corrected Andrea's mistake in 211 rather than think about why their son wouldn't feel comfortable introducing his boyfriend to them in the first place.

I think Carlos’s face says it all here. Mind you, this was after Bad Call yet apparently Gabriel still doesn't recognize his mistakes with Carlos. Not only that but now apparently we need do add the fact that he felt like such a disappointment to them that he married a woman and they just let him go through with it despite knowing he was gay. I love the scenes we got with Gabriel in 404 but I don't like how it seems that even those have been weaponized against Owen. Yes, Gabriel saved his son and it was beautiful but Owen has done the same more than once. I mean, the episode is meant to be a parallel of Bad Call where Owen and Carlos were the ones that teamed up. Not to mention when TK got shot in 108, Owen sat with him the whole time stroking his face and talking to him. He apparently didn't even leave the hospital for a shower. When TK woke up, it was his dad he called for before he even opened his eyes and Owen was right there. And then Owen saved him again in 110.

Even the scene where TK revives Carlos is a parallel to Owen reviving TK in the pilot
Tumblr media
Look, there's no denying that Owen is flawed and to be fair it is easier to focus on Owen's flaws since he's the main character and we see more of him but that still doesn't make the double standard any less unfair. Owen didn't ignore TK at all in 404. He picked up the phone despite the FBI lady not wanting him too. He looked at her like she was crazy for even thinking that he wouldn't pick up the phone bc "it's my son" and gave TK the best advice he could with what he knew. And he did this while the FBI lady badgered him and almost took the phone out of his hand. Yet there's literally people saying that it would be a good thing if Owen died and cheering on the FBI lady for making that comment.
Tumblr media
I also don't buy the argument that Owen hasn't been apologetic about his mistakes. Out of all three parents, Owen is the one that is actually seen reflecting on his mistakes and and apologizing. People go after him for the "about to be a father" comment yet Owen himself expressed regret for it unprompted. He did it again in 316 when in the midst of his own struggles and dealing with his trauma, he called TK up just to tell TK that he loved him and that he was proud of him. He apologized for the distance between them and promised to do better. And we know they're going to be talking in 408. That closeness they had that we all were so charmed by in s1 existed for a reason. And we now know that the reason we haven't seen it in a while is going to be addressed.

Look, I love all three of the parents plus Gwyn but at the end of the day parents are human and all humans make mistakes and have flaws. I like how the show reminds us of that. What I don't like is the double standard and the way people look for reasons to hate on Owen. It's gotten to the point where I have to filter tags and be very careful what fics I read bc I'm not interested in anything that just makes Owen out to be this awful parent when that's very far from what he actually is. My biggest pet peeve with fandoms in general is double standards and the ones people have for Owen compared to the Reyes' and even Gwyn are too glaring for me to just ignore

Not me sitting here thinking if the writers hadn’t mercilessly murdered Gwyneth Morgan she would be alive today and fussing over her son to his great frustration and affection before giving her son away and crying ugly tears at the wedding.

our love's a protective poison
Yet another cross post from ao3 that I have needed on this blog for months now. Can't believe it took me this long to move this one here! Anyways, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it <3
Gwyneth Morgan loves her son; that is an uncontested fact.
Tyler Kennedy Stand is his father’s son; that is also, an uncontested fact.
Gwyn loves her son, even though he has a tendency to act just like his father. Gwyn loves her son, even when he has a tendency to act just like his father.
Owen Strand had always been a pusher, always found a way to push things down.
When he and Gwyn were married, he would start the day with 50 push-ups. He would stretch the limits of their trash can, pushing down the grime until no more space could be filled. He pushed down trauma, suppressed it. Owen Strand is still a pusher, but for a moment Owen Strand beams more of a fighter.
He fought fires, he fought demons. He fought, and fought, and fought, and fought.
Eventually, he started fighting with her. 
Gwyneth Morgan had always been a pusher; always found a way to push through things.
When her job announced a company wide lay-off, she pushed through the bad days until the days were good again. When she realized that she and Owen might not make it, she pushed until she couldn’t push anymore.
When she found TK, strung out and barely lucid in that drug-den; she pushed the confides of her love as far as she could. Then she pushed herself even more.
TK was a little bit different.
TK Strand had always been a runner, always found a way to run.
He played little league, at the request of himself, but maybe also Owen too.
Gwyn remembers the first time he hit a home-run. Owen and Gwyn watched him run around the bases. He slid into first, though he didn’t really need to. Gwyn knew it was going to be a nightmare getting those dirt stains out; but when TK smiled up at her, she decided that it was worth it.
TK was in winter choir; always vying for a solo. Gwyn would hear him practice his runs, day in and day out. Gwyn won’t deny that listening to him singing all day every day became a bit grating. But, when TK got the solo and saw her sitting there in the audience, video camera pulled up. Well, the smile he smiled was worth it. Even if it was a little dimmed due to the empty seat next to her.
TK was a runner. He ran, and ran, and ran, and ran.
Until eventually, he ran from her.
Maybe Gwyn should of seen it coming. With both her and Owen being pushers, maybe it makes sense that he was more of a runner. He saw what pushing did to the both of them, straining them, even if it was in the best way.
Maybe running had always made more sense.
One day, Owen calls her, tells her that TK is in a coma. Again.
He tells her that it’s going to be okay.
Gwyn laughs in disbelief, the sound jagged. “How can you be so sure?”
“He’s pushed through before, and he’ll push through again.” Owen answers, simply. “You know, he gets it from you.”
Gwyn considers it, maybe TK is a pusher after all.
Gwyn watches on as Jonah, TK and Owen display family is never just blood. She watches, knowing that there’s a special type of love she felt for each of them at some point in her life. Gwyn watches TK; his eyes mirroring his father’s.
Carlos is standing next to her; the silence they’re both sitting in comfortable but leaving Gwyn wanting more.
“He gets it from his dad, you know?” Gwyn mutters to Carlos, taking a sip of her lemonade. “Pushing things away before they push him away.”
“Gwyn,” Carlos feels like his breath has been robbed from him. “You have to know, I would never,”
“No,” Gwyn reaches out, places her warm hand against Carlos’ arm to steady him. “I know. I just need you to know. He loves you, no matter how much he might try to push you away, he loves you and he knows that he does.”
Carlos watches TK. “How can you be so sure?”
Gwyn smiles, “He is his father’s child.” Gwyn shrugs, “And maybe his mother’s too.”
Gwyn continues to watch TK and Owen, “I don’t know, I just think sometimes he has so much love inside, he thinks he needs to push it down. Don’t worry, you’ll always be the one he’ll want to run back to.”
Carlos knows Gwyn is telling him this for TK’s sake; but maybe she knows Carlos needs to hear it too. “Thank you, Gwyn.” “Anytime, just,” Gwyn takes another sip of her lemonade. “Call me if you ever need anything? Okay?”
Carlos hears the unspoken offer. “Okay.”
Carlos is sitting in the dark, watching over TK as his chest moves up and down. How do you comfort someone who’s mother has just died.
Carlos softly walks into the living room, continuing to sit in the dark. He has his phone in his hand. He doesn’t know what to do or what to say, or how to help. He doesn’t know what to do during a time like this.
He unlocks his phone and calls the only person he can think of.
Carlos listens to the phone ring on the other line; knowing no one will pick up. Eventually, he’s greeted by the voicemail.
“Gwyn,” He releases her name with a shaky breath. “You said I could call you if I ever need anything and right now I need you more than ever.” He listens to the whine of the phone call; the silence uncomfortable. “I don’t know what to do.” 
He knows he’ll never get an answer back; but maybe just saying the words out loud is what he needed. He doesn’t know what to do but he doesn’t need to feel weighed down by the unsaid truth of it all anymore. He hangs up the call.
He gently paces around the living room before he finds himself staring at a photo. He looks at Owen, Gwyn, TK, Jonah and himself.
“No it’s fine.” Carlos had argued when Owen asked him to jump in. “It’s a family photo.”
“Exactly.” Gwyn agreed. “So get in here.”
Carlos picks up the photo and smiles to himself. He remembers what Gwyn once told him, about how TK can be overflowing with love because Gwyn was always overflowing with love. Love for Owen, love for Jonah, and love for TK.
Maybe the best thing Carlos can do, is to keep that love flowing.

“It’s all gonna be okay. TK’s gonna be okay. We saved his life, Owen. And now he gets to have one.”
Between the vows, Robert, Gwyn, and the song, I’m in tears. The song really broke me. 
I think it was clear that she and Owen never stopped loving each other, and the fact that Owen honored her memory so eloquently really hit me. The fact that she was talking to him, and not necessarily TK, killed me. She not only saw her son get married to the love of his life, she got to tell Owen that they did good. And I have no doubt he heard her. I am a firm believer that our loved ones remain in our lives, even after they’ve died. And I have no doubt Gwyn was there, immensely proud, watching over her son. Just like Gabriel was there watching over his.
The little things too. TK incorporating Jewish vows and wearing a kippah and Carlos wearing his dad’s necklace (if I’m not mistaken)
Even as I’m typing this, I can barely see the screen through tears. It was so powerful. I seldom have a reaction like this to something I see on screen. Just major props to the cast and crew, especially Rafael. He was absolutely incredible.
