There’s Something Strangely Gutwrenching About The Solstice Having Already Passed. There Have Been

I think the dead mother / reluctant father figure trope is way too oversaturated when it comes to coming-of-age hero epics.

It's always the father who stepped up but never the mother who stayed.

I just love when a camper tells Percy that demigods can burn their favorite food as offering to their godly parent so they can be heard and he burns the blue candy Sally got him to pray to his mortal mom.

He really was like god of the seas or no, he's a deadbeat.

My human mom would NEVER.

Sally Jackson you truly are singular 💖

But you know what he still did? Blindly trusted that Grover couldn't possibly be the friend who betrays him from the prophecy. It never even crossed his mind that Grover had stood against him even if it was for protecting him. Because, I mean, I don't think any friend would just accept it that easily. Ykwim?

Percy’s face when Sally mentioned Grover playing a role in getting him kicked out of school…

The way his face scrunches up really tight before relaxing? That’s anger.

But not the kind of anger we see in him in the last episode.

This is the kind of anger that makes you cry. The kind that’s underpinned by embarrassment and hurt and feeling like you’ve been treated unfairly.

Percy knows he didn’t push Nancy into the fountain and he thought that, if anyone would have his back, it was going to be Grover. And then he didn’t. And it’s unfair to Percy. It’s Wrong. Because no one believes him, apparently not even his best friend.

And the way he closes his eyes and takes a really deep breath? That’s a tactic that’s literally recommended to stop yourself from crying when you’re angry. It allows your body to “catch up” with your mind.

What do you wanna bet that Percy learned that from a school counselor?

Please just ignore this

(In case you don't:

Tw:sh, suicide attempts, and idk anything else that might trigger anyone from this but sorry)

I feel so fucking pathetic. Idk, I feel like I don't actually feel what I say I feel and am just lying because it's what I used to feel. I feel like I'm lying because the problems aren't even real problems and even if they were the reason I was messed up is trying to make things better. But I just don't. Idk. I can't seem to appreciate what they're doing because they didn't see it in the past 6 to 7 years. And now they're trying just after I tried to overdose on medicine at my hostel(I stopped before it would have been too much, I knew it wouldn't kill me when i stopped). They knew I used to SH. They knew for sure I still did it for about 2 years. They thought I stopped after that. Idk, they just assumed it was all better overnight. It's not like I hand tried to kms before, but they never found out about it. So yea, I feel like they're here too late. So I blame them for it and for the stuff they said, they stuff they did and didn't do. The part that makes me feel worst is that when I'd told them about it, they said it was just an excuse. After I told them that I was hurt about that(about 1 week later), they retracted the statement and said I that I might be trying to punish them but really it's just me I was punishing. I know its me I'm punishing. And it still hurts that they think I am doing this to punish THEM, that they still don't understand how deeply I hate myself(also a feeling I feel like I'm lying about, idek why I would lie about that but eh) even after I told them. And now I feel like I have no friends to talk to about my feelings. My almost 15 year bsf has .....idk, changed (she has a lot going on) so we just never talk about deep feelings. I have my cousin, almost like a twin, same age and the bond and all, but she is always trying to make me see their side of it and sometimes I just need someone to listen. I had more really close friends but we sort of just drifted apart. Idk what to do, feels like I have no one to talk to, life doesn't seem worth living, nothing worth fighting for, i dont seem worth fighting for. 2 people I grew close to at hostel made me swear I'd never cut again and it hurts so bad not doing it I feel like I will kms this time without coming to reason and be gone, it's like I'm waiting for the moment everything gets just too much and I finally snap.

“It’s you I love. I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”

Holly Black - Cardan Greenbriar, The Queen of Nothing.

“not all men”

you’re right, my favorite fictional character would never.

It’s the casual way Mobius sets his chaotic boyfriend The God of Mischief loose on everyone. Mobius is so attuned to Loki, he immediately knows how he’s going to react, offering him a gentle warning or permission to proceed. And Loki carefully waits for that permission before he acts, implying this is a familiar dynamic that’s been established beforehand.

Everyday I think about how Jude, a mortal, carved her way into getting not only all that she ever wanted but also the things she never really admitted that she needed, in the strange Faerie world.

She became a spy, which gave her the royal duty, of sorts, she always wanted. But with it also came the Court of Shadows which, with time, became not only allies but also a family. She trusts them and cares for them as they do for her.

She became the literal fugging badass High Queen of Elfhame, but with it she got Cardan, for whom she harbors a love she not only thought she would never feel, but a love she was always afraid to feel. She got someone who trusts her completely, cheers her every step, is ready to start a war to keep her safe and loves her with all of his shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous heart.

She got her power, her kingdom but she also got, friends, family and love.

yeah....bye ♡

I agree, i agree. but Percy Girlbossing and Annabeth Gatekeeping

pjo tv show episode 5 alignment:

I was driving, alright, alone. So I was talking to myself, like I always do. I was almost hit by this rabid cow and my brain goes "Yowza, that would've hurt" and then I thought about how I didn't curse and then I remembered how Aaron said "Such foul language. Only those without proper knowledge would resort to such" Ok, idr the exact thing but you get the point, so I was like, heheh. I didn't. And then I though of this:

And then I cried a little :)
