This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times. (1/3)

"Did I coerce you when I stood next to you and told you how to vote?" "No, dear." "DID I?" "No dear." "I didn't, did I?" "No dear." "Not in any way, right?" "No, dear." "No coercion at all, right?"

Welcome home. We've been waiting.

George Washington : ok walk me through falsification of healthcare studies to make billions of dollars Ben Franklin : sounds a lot like massive theft deserving of capital punishment tbh

I need you to understand how unreasonably happy this makes me. In 10-15 years this'll be someone's egg crack story about "I knew I didn't see eye-to-eye with my parents, but this was the moment I realized they would never and could never accept me for who I was.

MASSIVE SPOILERS - ONLY WATCH IF YOU KNOW WHO DIED IN THE S4 SEASON FINALE OF THE MAGICIANS "The story for them, it's just starting, but it won't be the same story because of you. You didn't just save their lives - you changed their lives." (from the funeral scene) I relate so hard.
