Hello there!! So a few nights ago I was just thinking about how it's kind of ridiculous that we call Tamlin a tampon. Because a tampon is actually kind of useful, ykwim? And then I was like, but we needed Tamlin so that Feyre would go to Prythian. And then I was like, "Yeah, and you gotta throw away a used tampon cuz it gets toxic, just like Tamlin did" and idk if this was it, but that made me realize that this is it
Am I being selfish and vain and useless and over dramatic if I can't forgive my mother for making me hate me and making ms realize just how meaningless life is? I mean, she obviously didn't mean to. I think she's trying to make us closer to each other. My dad is too. But suddenly having them just feels like they're here to hurt me again. It just feels like as they're trying to get inside the walls, that they're here to hunt again. And I know they're not. They're really trying. I see that. But. Idk. I think I really hate them for not being there for me and for making me feel like I didn't deserve the air I breathed, that it would be so good if I died because then no resources wasted. But they're trying to make it better. I think. So I should just feel greatful, right? I shouldn't feel like they owe an apology, right? Idk wtf to do. Is my feeling this way allowed? Is it valid? Is it OK?

To clarify, what I mean is this is the one time we read about it. Ok maybe he didn't do it, but who's to say he didn't have to do something very like this while UTM. I'm just saying that even if he didn't show his wings, they weren't really safe to him.
Rhysand, in order to prove his cruelty and this loyalty, is known to some pretty guttering stuff. I wonder who did Amarantha order to cut off that faerie's wings in ACOTAR. Illyrian bat baby. Wings. EVEN IF HE HADN'T BEEN TYE ONE TO CUT THEM OFF CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD HAVE FELT TO EVEN HEAR THE FAERIE. IM DYING
An unanswered question from the ATWOW film which I've long wondered about centres around Neteyam's whereabouts on the day that Lo'ak gets lured out of the reef by Ao'nung and meets Payakan. When Lo'ak returns home safe that night, Jake and Neytiri question Neteyam:
Neytiri: "Where were you?" Jake: "Yeah, what happened to keep an eye on your brother?" Neteyam's answer is a simple apology, "Sorry sir."
But we never find out where Neteyam actually was. 🤔 Was he having a vulnerable moment to himself?... Was he perhaps meeting quietly with a Metkayina girl?... The possibilities are quite enticing as an author with an overactive imagination... Anyone have any other theories? 😊
Wdym USUALLY??
each one of the seven secretly thinks "i'm the most useless person on this ship. everyone is doing smth cool fighting stuff and all and i'm just here. like an idiot"
exept for annabeth
she always thinks she's the most competent person in the room and it's usually true
dude ;0;
when cardan is telling jude about his whole plan (once she comes back ‘as taryn’) about exiling her and it being all sneaky and he’s like “look i’m like you ! i did a sneaky thing just like you did ! you must be so proud of me !!” and she’s like What Is Wrong With You ?!
broke my silly little heart, it did ;0;
Percy is the only pure anti hero in the whole Percy Jackson series. Hear me out. I know you will say Nico is an anti hero but Nico actually has a classic hero streak inside if you think about it. Just because he was blinded by revenge for a while does not mean his sole motivation in the books was that. Afterwise, he actually thrived to be a hero and did things to save the world, to be a hero. Remember the last book in PJO.
There is not one single action Percy did in the entire saga that was done because he wanted to be a hero rather than to protect his loved ones. He did not question if what he is doing is right before doing it but questioned whether it helped his loved ones. He did not have the want to be accepted by his parent like others.
That is one of the reasons I love Percy.
Maybe i'm wrong, but does anyone else think the breeding of demi gods in PJO is not just a "Oh those gods, so horny they cannot stop themselves from impregnating mortals" thing but also a very fucked up type of survival strategy? Like, a god's strenght often depends on how many people worship them (idk if it's like that in pjo but feel free to correct me), they left their homeland to go to the new heart of western civilization, however they're very much not the main gods worshiped there, so what do they do now? They breed themselves a bunch of half humans that are pretty much obligated to be their believers. It also does nothing to help me put my tinfoil hat down the fact that the gods also canonly use their demi kids as problem solvers
probably a huge reach but I do wonder if percy’s refusal to explain his plans to anyone was influenced by him telling bianca his plan and then her getting herself killed trying to execute it
