Part of my roadtrip tool me to Atlanta. And, the Civil Rights Center was amazing. Very powerful. They have this one exhibit where you sit at a lunch counter and close your eyes and put on headphones. And It plays sounds like you are at a sit in and people are yelling. And it times how long you can sit there for. I think i lasted almost a minute before i was almost crying.
It…made its point.
Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide.
Some Lukercy headcanon, please? I'm literally dying for this ship.
these are in my(mod abbey’s)luke returns au, a few years post-canon
they register high on the gaydar; it’s amazing this relationship was ever a secret. it’s not like they’re constantly pda-ing, but no straight guy would ever be caught looking at his bro like they look at each other.
luke ruffles percy’s hair a lot and makes like he’s being teasing but actually he just loves percy’s hair and touching it
they ended up sparring together a lot. being a natural with a sword is great until you realize it’s hard to find a real challenge who isn’t your childhood mentor/archenemy
percy did not cope well with the return of The Crush From Hell
luke did not cope well with realizing he was falling for someone who has every reason to hate him, and so tried what he does best: repress until you want to scream! and he succeeded for a while but when they’re practicing he slips into instructor mode and forgets he’s not touching percy ever, at all, 100% no, and critiques percy’s form from right behind him, touching his back and arms and waist and generally ensuring percy didn’t remember jack shit of what he said
that said, a lot of their best bonding moments happen at night. neither of them sleeps very well, so they end up talking a lot. it’s how they initially opened up to each other. percy found him after a nightmare and it started a conversation that lasted until they were both too tired to talk coherently.
it was fun explaining why they slept together when annabeth came looking for percy the next morning
the best at flirting in highly inappropriate times

you know what’s even more fun than explaining to your ex that the two guys she’s been attracted to in her life are falling for each other? telling your iron-willed protective shotgun-having mother that her beloved son is dating someone who tried to kill him approximately 1,957 times.
and luke gets it, he really does, what he did warrants more shit than sally could ever give him. he wants to take it calmly, like a hero would, but at the end of the evening, he’s just sitting on the fire escape, thinking about how he promised he would do everything he could to keep percy from becoming him, and isn’t risking corruption by proximity kind of breaking that promise? or at least fracturing it?
percy sits next to him, arms resting on his knees, until he starts talking, and when he’s done, lets out a long breath.
“y’know….my mom once told me my heart is always in the right place. and you know what they say about good intentions, but i trust her. i trust her to know that it’s a good thing, so she trusts me.” he bumps luke’s shoulder with his. “give her time. she’ll warm to anywhere i put my heart.”
I NEED A SHYAN FIC BASED ON THIS.
