WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WHAT THE FUCK
The Underland Chronicles, and everything is the same except people refer to the Underland as "down under", and everyone from the Underland has really strong Australia accents.
Gregor: *Falls into the Underland*
Multiple 5ft cockroaches: G'day mate!
Gregor: *Terrified screaming*
Me: Listen, we don't believe in Wicca stuff
My brain: Yup
Me: We aren't spiritual in any way, and don't believe in superstition
My brain: Correct
Me: And we only bought that book on magic for reference when writing
My brain: That was our intention
Me: ...so why do we want to try Wicca magic?
My brain: Just shut up and build the altar
Slapstick romance
Domino and Adam are meant to be a toxic couple but in a very silly and unserious way. I did not expect people to accuse me endorsing abuse.
Percy: Yeah, I'm arguably one of, if not THE, strongest demigo-
Some random fucking Hermes kid from 2,000 years ago:
he cooked him like a caesar salad
Kellen spent the the first half of his life having complete faith in Jan'tep propaganda whilst living a privileged lifestyle.
Kellen spent the second half of his life on the run, juggling his survival with the expectations of those around him.
Kellen is usually surrounded by people who are functioning adults that know who they are, what they want (unlike Kellen who doesn't), and often demand something of him, regardless of which half of his life you are talking about.
People constantly criticise Kellen's immaturity.
What the fuck.

Rasputin edit of Ripred when/if a tv show or movie series comes out about TUC.
This series is canon, as far as I'm concerned
Something I decided to cook up to celebrate the completion of the AHS 1 edit (YES THE FIRST BOOK HAS BEEN OVERHAULED AND IT'S SO MUCH BETTER NOW GO REREAD IF YOU LIKED IT PLEASE!! I PROMISE IT'S WORTH IT!)
Ripred & Henry are one of my favorite dynamics to write in AHS 3 and I adore how far they've come and where they started.
That and Henry in general. This is your AHS 1 vs AHS 3 Henry comparison as well (yes, ALL the text here are actual quotes from the books.)
Honestly, Ripred should start to consider paying rent with how much he and his words of harsh but wise truth live in Henry's head 🤣
