I would love it if after Mikey brings Raphie over to the Rise universe, CJ sees him and shouts "Grandpops!" At the top of his lungs(or great uncle Raphie but Grandpops has more oomph) and Raphie face just gets stuck on this weird strangled smile as he tries to figure out what exactly Dee has been doing since he got sent home

lol yes! Raphie's just sitting there like "yes i have a grandchild!" but also like "It's only been two years. how did i get a grandchild?!"

Though, i will say this, it would be pretty cute if, in the apocalypse timeline, Future Dee was the one that adopted baby CJ (similar to how FW has Raph adopting him.) Cass would still claim CJ first, but since Dee is probably one of the few in their group with even a little bit of Tiny human experience, He'd probably end up taking care of CJ a lot and accidentally adopting him along the way. It would be a very adorable way of Dee following in his pop's footsteps : ) (and would give CJ a very good excuse to call Raphie Grandpops)

Thank you!

I saw this on Tiktok and thought it needed to be passed on. Pololū Valley is sacred land currently at risk of being developed into yet another "scenic tourist attraction" for profit. Activists like @/melemaikalanimakalapua on Tiktok are fighting to have this petition seen by as many people as possible in order to prevent the senseless destruction of this land.

Note that the petition says not to donate to change.org--donations to change.org do NOT protect Pololū Valley.

I hope that by spreading this to tumblr, I can help it reach more people. Please sign this and reblog it if you can!

A short comic I made about my experiences as a seasonal worker, and the way places change you.

I’ve always loved the idea of Norman and Ray getting together during the search for Emma but not wanting to do much until they find Emma because they both love her as well and want her there. But I’m never sure how Emma losing her memories would said relationship and plans afterwords

Oooo Anon I don't know if you're the same person who sent this Norray ask but if you haven't read @salsae's (so what am I defending now?) I highly recommend it because I've essentially taken it as canon and reread it probably once a month.

Beautifully written with loving nuance, her work was (and still is <3) foundational for my interpretations of the trio when I first got into the series in 2021 and was searching for quality fanfic.

In regards to how Emma's memory loss would play into things, I think they'd all have good and bad days at first. A balance of being grateful they defied the odds to have a chance of creating a future they can be proud of together at all, of Emma being alive and well and living life with Alex, of being reacquainted with all the things big and small that made them fall in love with her and having the opportunity to love new ones. Of reconnecting with these two boys who for reasons her mind can't explain but her heart knows without a shadow of a doubt feel like home.

(Chapter 180)

Of perceived selfish grief over wishing Emma would regain her memories when a confused look is thrown their way after they reference something from their childhood (isn't it enough that she's there?). Of self-doubt that she'll ever be able to live up to the Emma everyone loved or relearn the language she sees the boys communicate without words, of seeing what she believes is a brief flicker of hope die in everyone's eyes when she reminds them of all the little ways she's not her (is it more cruel they found her instead of being able to believe their Emma lives on somewhere in distant lands?), of anger over having those memories just within her reach only for her dreams to deny her each time.

But as the days turn to months and the months turn to years, things get better. The sentiments Emma shares in chapter 180 hold true.

Only now today and tomorrow is by their sides.

What we should using that power for.

I love that voodoo that you do.
