Can’t Stop Picturing Lester Doing CPR While Yelling-singing Stayin’ Alive

Michael Yew is one of my favourite minor characters in pjo because the Apollo cabin is portrayed as all smiles and easygoing campers, and then you have this ratty faced, scrappy little 4’6 guy, with a temper to rival Clarisse La Rue, a devil may care attitude towards the titan war, he laughs in the face of death, and he just got put in charge as head councillor of cabin 7

Tf you mean he still dreams of Ty Blackthorn and NOT in a fun sexy times way, but actually in a "he haunts my every sleeping thought and I fear he's gone somewhere I can't reach - and if I do reach that place, I don't think I'll like what I find" type of way

My boy needs to lock in. For the sake of everyone, this traumatized twink behavior can't go on much longer

We're only on Chapter Fucking 2, for Christ's sake

have a random need and urge to expand on the difference (in loving terms) between being hugged and being held.

like, to be hugged is a mutual sort of 'I love you', a small or big gesture that implicates a need to be close or have some form of physical contact. it can have different levels of love, whether it's a thing you do with your friends or something that you do with a person you love deeply and romantically, it can mean a lot of things.

for some people, it's a simple gesture that can happen in everyday life, and you don't even think about it.

for others, it's a huge thing, something that you only do with people you really mean it with. it's something that eases you and makes you feel good, like kisses (which I might have to get into another time lol)

but being held is a very different thing, and I've been thinking about it quite a lot recently.

to be held can be a one sided thing, unlike hugs, which are normally two sided, and it's can come off as more than a need for physical contact, it's a need to be loved.

being held is, in my view, also a lot more romantic, or at the very least something you only do with someone you trust a hell of a lot. it's more of a 'letting someone else take care of you' sort of thing, where you've gone back to basic needs and you just need to know you're loved. to hold someone is to protect them or comfort them, less of a simple loving gesture, more of a I've got you.

don't get me wrong, it is one hundred percent something you'd do with someone you love, but if you hold someone it can be a way of showing you love them, less of just showing each other love. like, something that you use to comfort someone and reasurre them that they are loved, something that you might know about yourself, but maybe they're not so sure, which is a whole other page of shit to explain, but yeah.

just, interesting, I think. small gestures that can mean so much to some people, and nothing to others.

Yes!! We're on the map y'all!!! <333

currently sat in school and considering all my options in this au that I want to post (despite not even having finished my current one) and I've just realised how unbelievably fucked I am for school these next 2 years, because honestly all I can think about is fanfiction and other shit and it's actually taking over my life.

...

how do people multitask work and fanfiction? is there a magic spell that solves my problems and lets me write or do I have to live with this split personality for the rest of my life? 😭😭😭

I don't even know where this is going just #theproblemsoflife

Do they have one?

Do I need to make one?

Kayssa?

Someone inform me please, if I need to make a name I will 😭

kit's late night google search history

Okay- can you imagine au where Michael technically died in a more normal "died for a second but brought back" kinda of way?

Then you get Leo who actually full on brings himself back with non traditional method

And now poor Jake is having a crisis why also having to deal with both his brother and boyfriend who can and will make jokes about their death.

"Man. This almost as bad as the time I died."

"No kidding"

"Guys please we talked about this-"

"Do you ever think about the fact we died in opposite directions? Like you were swept down and I blew up?"

"Wasn't until now. Thanks for that i guess."

"Leo. Why? Just why?"

"Michael. You can't just tell someone to jump off a bridge as a joke."

"I've fell off a bridge before. They'll be fine."

"You died."

"It didn't stick though, did it?"
