oh. my.

I don't even...I don't even have any idea what to say.

THANK YOU, UP BELOW GODS, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Except also hey what am I going to do with my life because I'm pretty sure after that episode I will NEVER NEED FANFIC AGAIN. Is this a secret plot to get me to leave my dorm? IT WON'T WORK, SHOW GODS. Because I need to stay here and JOURNAL ALL MY FEELINGS.

God. Okay. Where to start. The way Tyler just forgave Jake for everything? Jake's been carrying around all this guilt for so long and Tyler just took all of the weight off him and like...evaporated it. Good lord I'm eloquent today. But seriously, I know we've all been hoping that somehow Jake's guilt for what happened in the freaking PILOT would be dealt with somehow, but this is like...I swear I've read this actual situation in a fic somewhere. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Who wrote it agghhh help me out. Purple journal. This is killing me now.

Anyway I loved that fic when I read it and now I can LOVE IT IN REAL LIFE.

Or whatever Up Below is. I'm going with real life.

I think what really shanked me in the heart was Jake's REACTION to being forgiven, actually. I don't think we really saw until that moment just HOW MUCH he not only needed it but also never expected that would happen. He's seen Tyler go through hell for him again and again but he never thought that he'd be forgiven for this. He thought this was something that even Tyler couldn't fix. And like...HE FIXED IT. God I love them. I love them so much. And I'm so glad that we know now Tyler isn't angry at him anymore. Maybe fandom will give it a rest now? That'd be nice.

In conclusion, to quote a writer who is in all honestly less talented than the lovely man and lovely lady who wrote last night's ep:
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS.

Patient Notes—February 23rd

Dr. Rachaela Bachman, PhD

Patient is, as usual, in good spirits, well put-together, reporting strong grades. Denies having any recent psychiatric symptoms, admits to being under quite a bit of school-related stress, responds quickly and fluently to questions. I'm still concerned that she might be putting too much focus into college as the solution to any anxiety she's feeling. Concerned about her enthusiasm for starting over and worried she's planning to cut too many ties.

Patient, as usual, shows reluctance to begin stepping down medication dosages.

Follow-up scheduled for March 20th.
