Captain Lee, he didn’t make it.

“Liv, I’ve been blown up before. This is nothing.”

I’m having some problems with Fringe this season so I just want to get the feelings out.
If you are 100% happy with everything Fringe has been doing and will be offended at negative feelings towards where it’s going just don’t click.
FLOR I REALLY TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE DON’T LIKE THEM. I REALLY DO. But no one has given me an explanation that makes sense other than “I don’t see Josh/Anna chemistry” but I see Josh/Anna chemistry so. And people are allowed to have their own opinions. But I mean. This is the way I see it (and I’m posting this publicly because reasons):
DO YOU KNOW HOW BROKEN OLIVIA WAS WHEN WE FIRST FOUND HER? It’s kinda hard to see sometimes because she puts up such a tough exterior. But she felt betrayed by John Scott and then lost him and and she was experimented on as a child and she came from an abusive home. And honestly Peter is the only one in the world that could ever ever ever break down the walls she put up after all that. And he did. He’s the only one who knows her and loves all of her. Honestly I think he’s the only one who can even have a chance at understanding.
Secondly: he was pretty damn closed off too y’know. He went through a lot of childhood trauma as well, and a lot of it is blocked out, but again Olivia is the only one who really understands and loves him for who he is. Peter opens up even less than Olivia and I have never seen him so vulnerable as he was in Friday’s episode.
And then, the way they care about each other. How can you throw that out the window? I know in a sense it’s a jerk move for Peter to not give a shit about “this timeline” (even though I think it’s HIS universe, he just doesn’t realize it [except I think he’s tarting to]) but really that’s because all he wants to do is go home. He just. Wants. To go home. Can you imagine being deposited in a world where nobody knows you? Nobody. Not a soul. How do you even have a sense of self? How are you SUPPOSED to care about the world around you if no one gives a damn about you? He was so alone and it breaks my heart. But he never gave up, he kept trying to find a way back home. And then she remembered, and he was so confused because he was so fixated on him being in the wrong timeline, but then he saw it in her eyes. “I look into your eyes, and I know it’s you.” And he was so scared, because he didn’t wanna mess up again, he didn’t want to touch any Olivia that wasn’t his, because the thought of hurting this woman he loves disgusts him so much, because he loves her and ONLY her, and I just, so many more feelings than I know what to do with.
I just really appreciate that this season we’ve gotten to see his feelings as opposed to Olivia’s. It really solidified how much I like them.
Also, the fact that we’re basically back with the old time. The alt-verse is interesting but honestly I felt like we haven’t seen OUR Olivia for… maybe 2 dozen episodes? It makes me so sad. I go back and see earlier episodes, and I just, I love our fringe team. But they haven’t been here. They’ve been scattered. And it’s like they’re being put back together again, and I just, <3____<3
#otp: you belong with pee #everyone is laughing at this or shaking their fist at olivia jokingly for cockblocking herself #but in all seriousness i love the sheer humanness of this scene #because typically polivia is heart-wrenchingly universe-spanningly angtsy and epic and unrequited and painful#and the absurdity and normalcy of this moment just #brought a smile to my face#sometimes they make out at gas stations and sometimes olivia needs to pee #it’s just so awkward and endearingly //normal// #i love these two so much i write meta about olivia peeing in my tags #a+ friday night #also lol @ the last gif#”atta girl” #”peein’ and stuff”

She gave me a place to call home.


Can you imagine being flooded with years of experiences and memories that were not your own? The mind… unable to distinguish between what’s real and what is not.
My father… I cannot get the thought out of my mind that I couldn’t give him what he wanted because of the way that I am. That he secretly wished that I could love him back in a way that he could understand. Do you think if I were more like you, he would’ve loved me more? If I was normal?
