Time for a new poll! I'm curious to see the spread of answers on this one (and hear any other series not on the list.) Tried to go for a range of older and newer series on here, more on the older end of the spectrum, but I can't cover everything with the limited poll options here, so I hope you'll share your answers! :)
Please reblog for a larger sample size, thank you!
Finding this information has single handly crushed any hope of me finding love not because it exists this is proof that it does but because i don't think i could find someone who loved me like those engineers loved oppy.
this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby
The Kelpie Pond✨️ Jaimie Whitbread
This scene destroys me every time, but one incredible detail that I haven't seen anybody mention is the position of the bedding.
In the first shot, when Edwin arrives, we can see that Charles has taken one mattress and one blanket to huddle in the corner with them.
In the final shot, all of the bedding has been rearranged on the floor to make Charles' little blanket nest as Edwin reads to him.
But Charles spends the entirety of these scenes growing weaker with each passing shot. He's sitting upright and shivering, then leaning against the shelves and shivering, then leaning hard on a table and coughing as the internal damage starts to catch up to him, then leaning much harder on the shelves after the shivering has stopped (a bad sign when someone is hypothermic), then leaning so far down he's near reclined, then finally lying flat on the floor amidst the bedding.
My point is, by the time that final scene comes around, Charles doesn't have the strength left to have moved the bedding for himself anymore.
That was Edwin. Edwin sat with this dying boy, and brought him light, and made him laugh. And when the end was near, he made him a blanket nest on the floor, so that he could die in comfort while someone read him off to sleep.
This is so adorable, and yes this very much did happen
Okay, but after Charles and Edwin have gotten their shit together and finally started dating, Charles still calls Edwin mate, because that is what he has always done, and sometimes it feels strange to finish a sentence without any kind of nickname at the end. And it's not like Edwin minds.
Only that Crystal, one day, just snaps, like, "Charles you are aware that you aren't mates anymore, are you? Because I walked into on you two making out at least three times this month and you are currently in Edwin's lap. Don't you think you should update your vocabulary a little?"
And Niko coos, and agrees, and Charles just raises an eyebrow, thinking.
Crystal regrets saying anything just five days later, because it's "here you go, luv", when Charles hands Edwin a letter opener.
"Careful with the sulfur, babes, that shit stains real bad when you get it on your hands. And yes, even ghost skin, don't try and start that with me", when they are brewing a potion.
"Come with, darling, I found this ancient tome you'd really like", when Charles grabs Edwin's hand and drags him to a secluded area in the local magic shop, either to look at a book, or just to share a few kisses.
But what finally gets Crystal to snap is when Edwin looks at Charles like he has never seen a single more beautiful being in the world in the middle of a case, and says, "What brilliant reasoning, my dearest heart."
They ignore her pleading to just go back to normal completely, but a few days after, there's a mate thrown in between the loves and the sweethearts and the babycakes.
It's the first time Crystal considers retiring before she has reached the age of twenty.

I’m still thinking about that Jace and Rhaenyra scene in episode seven
Rhaenyra chuckles. “You are my heir.”
Rhaenyra should know more than anyone, that simply saying someone is her heir isn’t enough! Like, come on, Viserys said the same thing, and she was still usurped! If Rhaenyra is going to “raise an army of bastards,” she needs to not only reassure Jace but also publicly remind everyone that he is the heir. She needs to do what her father never did and constantly drum it into people that Jacaery is the rightful heir because he is her eldest son, who is a Targaryen, and that’s all that matters
