Some dude on Omegle helped me out a lot. He had to go, but I feel like I'm almost there. Dump of relevant part of the convo:
You: ok, something new:
You: when rebooting from recovery
You: [ 1754,478704] EXT4-fs (dm-1): Unrecognized mount option "x-gvfs-show" or missing value
Stranger: gah
Stranger: okay to back to the root recovery shell
You: moment
You: ok
Stranger: are you there?
You: yup
Stranger: nano /etc/fstab
Stranger: remove x-gvfs-show
Stranger: but JUST THAT
You: not the ' 0 1' after it?
Stranger: Keep that
You: x-gvfs-show is there twice
You: remove it both times?
Stranger: Yes
Stranger: What is left on that line?
Stranger: or those lines?
You: /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro, 0 1
You: on one
You: and
Stranger: Remove the , after remount-ro

Stranger: don't save
Stranger: mount -oremount,rw /
You: Save modified buffer (ANSWERING "No" WILL DESTROY CHANGES) ?
Stranger: No don't save... won't work anyway
Stranger: Then go back in the same file
Stranger: nano /etc/fstab, do the same edit, save, and reboot
You: so cancel where i'm at now?
Stranger: Yes cancel.
Stranger: Don't forget to do
Stranger: mount -oremount,rw /
Stranger: before going back in nano
You: exactly like that?
You: -oremount?
Stranger: Yes exactly like that.
Stranger: mount -oremount,rw /
Stranger: Okay i need to go away a bit
You: k
You: i'll keep this open
You: let you know if this worked
You: thanks for taking the time
You: ugh i'll be back too. gotta get some food in me by this point.
