Crowning Moment of Awesome Meme

Everyone has done something awesome in their lives, whether it was being a total badass and saving the world or just talking down a schoolyard bully, and apparently, someone recorded that awesome moment (or wrote it down or made a comic about it or what have you). Now that awesome moment has been posted everywhere, and characters get to react.

Rules!

1. Find an instance of your character being awesome in canon.
2. Post links to videos, embed pictures, copy and paste passages, so on and so forth, as many as you like. People can pick and choose what they react to, or react to all of it.
3. Please include trigger warnings if they're needed and don't put more than one large picture (or two small ones) in a single post, and instead link if you want to add more.
4. Tag around and let's get this party started!

[Reid listens quietly. He figures there will be a clear signal when she's finished with her story, and right now, he feels like the best he can really do is listen quietly and let her get it off of her chest.

...Although that does explain why she always wants to see the sun rise.]

[She's quiet a moment longer] I don't know. I ended up running around the whole village, learning about the people and... fighting them, in some cases. Some of them were grown men and women, and some were... were children.

[And fighting the children was always the worse. Even though they were ghosts she was still, more or less, killing them.]

Itsuki was the only one who didn't want to kill me. He was locked in the storehouse, but there was a window I'd talk to him through and he'd give me advice or cam me down. [Pause] When I found the key to the storeroom, I needed his help one more time, and I thought I could let him go.

I guess deep down I knew he had to be dead already, but... When I opened the doors and saw his body there... I thought I'd feel more. I was so drained I couldn't even react much. [She pulls away some too look up at him, worried] That's not normal, right?

[Reid's eyes are soft, but he averts them, once again his thoughts distracting him from putting in the effort for eye contact.] Mio... there's no standard reaction to trauma or grief. It's... well, even just talking from personal experience, it's very common to stop feeling things you would normally feel if you're in an extreme situation like that. It's a coping mechanism--your mind is protecting itself from completely breaking down by putting aside how you feel for later.

[Wait eye contact that's a thing he should be doing

He'll quickly make it again.]

Now that you're in a less stressful environment, it'll probably start filtering to the surface so you can deal with it now that you're not fighting for your life.
