I hope I have touched your life, the way you touched mine.

I pray, despite how I've wronged you, I am not beyond forgiveness.
Is it selfish to wish I could try again?
Is it true that our accursed blood is stronger than water?
Do you still hold any love for me in your heart?
I hope you hear me when I tell you I am sorry.

Yep, Celestial Tower not only is the traditional graveyard each game has, but it does have the tradition to ring the bell. I’m the first game Skyla has us ring it before we go to fight her, and later Alder rings it to help comfort the spirit of his deceased Volcarona. And in the sequel you can obtain a quest to defeat four former associates to a newlywed couple in order to ring the bell. The tower is even where you encounter Mesprit!(given its the emotion pokemon, Sinnoh and Unova have an unspoken connection, and the bell “sound is said to reflect the nature of the one who rang it,” this makes a lot of sense). It seems tradition for someone each Unova game to ring that bell whether it be us or someone who lost something like Alder(if the Champion Emmet thing is true, Alder probably be a good person for Emmet to at least try to talk to given they both be Unova Champions who lost someone close to them), so Emmet ringing it in a third game to both literally and metaphorically put his ghosts to rest would honestly be an amazing Pokémon scene that ties things together nicely and a little nod to putting Marowak ghost to rest given Gen 5 original origins
I may have gone a bit nuts with this, but oh well
Emmet on his way to ring the bell, to let Ingo rest at last...

I see your ‘house and Wilson are inevitably just very fucked up, the only reason they work so well is that they are both unhinged and it wouldn’t be right to subject anyone else to them’ and raise you ‘they are intimately capable of soft love and I think would be able to give it to each other- quick kisses, smiles etc. however they also need a level of prank and mental enrichment that they can only ever get from each other’

i turn 29 on july 1st. i feel like i make a lot of these notes to myself, to check in. hi, me, here's what's happening.
hi, me. hi, you, too, if you keep reading. here's some rules i have been following:
when a book is bad, i put the book down. i choose something i like instead. when i don't like a movie, i don't make myself watch until the end. i care less and less what people think about me and focus more on being a good friend.
for the 6 months or so, i've been asking people what they think should be my next book or tv show. i ask them where i should go on a walk next week. i ask them what food i should try next, what hobby. and then i write it down in front of them.
the truth is some stuff slips through the cracks. but most of the time? within two weeks, i get to send my favorite kind of text - so i tried the thing you were talking about and !
i have a new policy for split-second choices - it's better to try it. i have social anxiety. i have to talk myself into doing many things. i am constantly battling the desire to run away as far as my feet will take me. and then i stand up and i do the thing anyway. i make myself act and dance and sing. sometimes, yes, i know-immediately never again, i hate this. but most of the time - i just have fun with it.
i have a new mantra - nobody is scorekeeping. at the end of my life, there will be no grand reading of how many calories i'd been eating. no reviews on how many boring documentaries i forced myself through, no calculation on how many hours i endured an extremely dull educational podcast. and so what if i try karaoke and i don't actually nail it? so what if i stumble over my words while trying to make a public announcement? so what if i wear something too-showy to go to the grocery store? nobody there knows me, and: nobody's keeping score.
life doesn't resolve with a grade (i know, i was as shocked as everyone else when i realized it). i am not falling behind, because there's no curriculum to life that i should be following. there are no checkpoints; nobody is making sure i have a fully-furnished life resume. i am just here for as long as the earth will have me, and i get to decide what makes me happy.
i don't have a partner or a house or anything that is supposed to belong to people-my-age. i spend most of my time focusing on being kind, compassionate, ready to listen without restraint.
and honestly? i feel good. like actually. i kind of like it this way.

Okay, I really like how the Ocean saga and the Circe saga show the aftermath of Odysseus' choices-mistakes-losses.
Keep Your Friends Close brought us back to Polites and colored the song with doubts - which remain the catalyst of action in the end.
There Are Other Ways refers back to Odysseus' longstanding regret from Just A Man - but now it's a catalyst of refusal to act.
Very, very curious what they're going to do in the Underworld saga with Odysseus' mistakes and losses, and whether he will get closure about these deaths.
