He’s Tired Of Hiding It And She’s Tired Of Denying It

Ulrich Stern development through the series

they’ve been bringing up the “we’re just good friends, right?” line from Ulrich a lot lately and its interesting how each time Yumi responds she is progressively less sure to the point where now she’s saying nothing

Okay, but I just wanted to make clear how Timebomb literally destroyed me. Not only because they could've had EVERYTHING on a different time line: being together, working together, living their best life inside a really well done and sane Zaun. They made millions of parallels between the bridge scene and the dance scene, just to make Ekko see that, no matter how hard he tries, how desperately he wants to believe that Jinx is all that the women he fell in love with has left, he won't be able to stop loving her. Being Jinx. Being Powder. He loves her entirely, even after all the bad things she had done. When they fought, he saw Powder in Jinx's eyes, and when they danced and talked during the kiss scene and when he arrived there, he somehow knew that, no matter how many timelines the world had prepared for him to see, she will always be the girl of his dreams in every one. And then he came back just to stop her to end her own life and tried multiple times to talk to her when she thought that everything was lost, that she didn't deserve to live after the little girl she practically adopted sacrificed herself for saving everyone. Then she just stoped detonating the bomb knowing that it will kill Ekko too if he stayed, jumping into the void to avoid hurting him. But he just wanted her to see that she had much more to see, to fight, to live for. That she wasn't alone, that many people still believed in her, loved her, cared about her, and were waiting for her to come back again. The story literally built all this to just make Jinx sacrifice herself at the end and give us and scene where is insanely obvious how much Ekko misses her. He saved everyone. Sacrificed a better life just to save his timeline. Saved her before she gave up. And then they gave him an ending full of sorrow and loneliness after losing the woman he knew that now could've been with him after the battle is done. They are tearing me apart.

i know homoerotic energy when i see it

cute first date ideas: hand-to-hand combat

i just love that Ulrich “the stoic” Stern is secretly this big soft loser who keeps a diary and writes Yumi love poems and brings her flowers when she’s feeling down but first stops to smell them just because and cries when he thinks she’s dead and accidentally but proudly admits he’d die for her when Odd jokingly asks him about it, like. what a hopeless romantic nerd. what a sap
