Sometimes, grief really hit you hard. Out of the blue. What should I do?

[apieceofmin]

Oh. I fucking died again.

literally how boring and dull do you have to be to dislike codependent relationships in fiction like where is the passion where is the devotion where is the worship that inevitably corrupts and destroys one if not both of them

[apieceofmin]

No, because at first I was like, "Please don't let this be those cliche plot where a woman doesn't want kids and others will tell them it is just a phase, and when the right man comes along, she will realise she wants them, she wants kids, she wants family, and all will be alright."

But at the end I fucking get it, I don't want kids, now and probably forever, but I fucking get it. If someone will love me the way Tobias loves Almut, i don't find that terrible at all. I might want if for the rest of my life.

But that's just it, fiction. I hate reality sometimes.

Yes, Percy turned down immortality for her, but so did Annabeth when she decided not to join the Huntresses.

Yes, Annabeth drove herself insane searching for Percy after he was taken by Hera, but Percy snuck out and forcibly invited himself on a quest to free Artemis just so he could find Annabeth.

Yes, Percy imagined Annabeth as the one thing keeping him tethered to mortality in the River Styx. She is his Achilles Heel, but she only found that out after she took a knife for him knowing that he was functionally immortal. He is her Achilles Heel too.

Yes, Annabeth saved Percy after his insecurities got the better of him and Circe nearly turned him into a guinea pig forever. Yes, she hugged him afterwards and said she was glad he wasn't dead. But shortly afterwards, Percy saved Annabeth from being dashed against the rocks and eaten alive because of her hubris. He held her and hugged her gently as she sobbed into his shoulder, realising that none of it was real.

Yes, Percy decided to plunge into Tartarus with her, but Annabeth used every last heaving, dying breath to keep him alive and constantly negotiate his safety. They both look out for one another.

Yes, Annabeth frequently mentions how Percy will be a great dad one day. Percy also once watched Sadie Kane jump in a puddle and wondered if this is what his and Annabeth's future kid would be like, before backtracking because it's not like he's been thinking about him and Annabeth having kids one day-

Yes, Percy is constantly monologuing about how cute Annabeth's bedhead looks and how lucky he is to have such a smart girlfriend. But Annabeth was once asked about Percy in an interview and complimented his bravery and general intellect Despite how oblivious he can be sometimes, and- no, that doesn't refer to anything in specific, it's just- he is so smart, but can never take a hint, even when a girl is giving him hints and- what? No! Why does everyone always think that I- that I'm- Augh! And forcibly ended the interview cause she physically couldn't keep her feelings hidden.

They are both down horrendous.

We do realise the reason why everyone loves Percabeth and many consider it the best romance in modern literature is because there is no hierarchy between them right?

Percy is not emotionally stunted and reliant on Annabeth to navigate the world, Annabeth is not reliant on Percy for survival and support. They are completely equals - they are both strategic and smart, both powerful and foreboding, both funny and sarcastic, both hubristic and display cruelty at times. They are flawed and see each others flaws and love each other because of that, not in spite of it, and they are the only straight couple in literature I can think of like this. In every way they are completely equal.

Also here's another story I wish someone would write inspired in my current late night sleep deprived scrolling and too much Rock of Ages clips:

Colin Bridgerton Rock Star who has lost himself in sex drugs and alcohol to cope with the decline of his song writing inspiration. Enter Penelope Featherington, former childhood friend turned, rolling stone journalist who interviewed Colin for the magazine and wrote a terribly unflattering article (so what if she chewed him up and told him he was an irresponsible child who needed to man up, so what if he accused her of literally running away from their friendship when he got famous and forgetting he existed until this dang interview, so what if they had hate sex! So what if she ruined him for all other women) What Colin cares about is that he needs to find her again and make her retract what she wrote about him in Rolling Stone!!

Side plots Featuring Anthony, Benedict and Gregory, band mates who are sick of him and coping with Colin's trainwreck lifestyle by equally trainwrecking their own lives.

Anthony is a recovering sex addict with a bunch of groupie girlfriends that always follow him around who has fallen head over heels for his ball busting bodyguard Kate. Yes he's fallen for Kate! Who would rather meet his crazy fans with a glock at dawn than let him buy her a drink, Kate with walls a mile high who roundhouse kicked him the last time he told her she looked hot. Kate who smiles at him when she thinks he's not looking and thinks he's going to propose to her sister. Why did he fall inlove with Kate? He likes her! Why can't she like him back? Kate is willing to take a bullet for him but she won't let him anywhere near her heart. So sex drugs and alcohol it is, maybe if Kate sees how much of a trainwreck he can be, she will quit and cease tormenting him. If Anthony can't have Kate then nothing matters anymore

Benedict resident polyamory Rock Star fresh out of a breakup with his other two equally famous significant others, trying to ' create art' and cover Colin and Anthony's messes only to find his muse in a one night stand he had when he was super wasted. Granted the new housekeeper his mom hired for the band seems awfully familiar, but this Sophie girl is just too cute to be his sexy goddess of silver. Doesn't mean he hasn't tried to bang Sophie, but she said she's not into meaningless flings with washed up bass players, so fine no sleeping with her, he will treat her like an employee too, but as an employer he needs her to remain around him all the time, when Sophie smiles she helps him get back his inspiration, he can paint again when she's around, that's all that's keeping his attention, of course he wants Sophie to see him as a man, but its okay if she doesn't... Right? Right??

Then there's Gregory, the drummer, trying to make it in the Rock Star scene, and keep his older brothers from doing a full kamikaze on their relationships and their band. He's so lucky he's got his best friend Lucy supporting him trough this, dang it would suck if Lucy didn't come to his concerts or gave him a listening ear. She's trying to make it in Hollywood as a Disney actress and she's been Gregorys rock, her agent is a bit of a diva but if Lucy gets a shot at stardom Greg encourages her to go for it. That's until news of Lucy's relationship with pop idol Haselbaby reaches Gregory. What do you mean his Lucy is dating some pop idiot who can't even sing? Why would she? She's his best...his best... oh forget it Lucy is HIS, and no Disney romance publicity stunt is going to stop him from taking her back and making her his girlfriend. And with brothers too dumb to tell him not to be stupid, he's about to destroy Lucy's entire Disney career by kidnapping her and bringing her on tour with him. If the media won't give his Lucy attention unless she gives them drama, his stunt will make her name flash in headlines for years to come!.

Violet please come get your Rock Band, the boys are mucking things up again!!

I just need a theme of stairs/levels in season4 to visually show the class difference between Sophie and Benedict. Show Sophie as The Lady in Silver at the top of the stairs to represent what she could have been if she was legitimate. That she was seen as an upper class lady at the ball that made her an enigma and therefore in Benedict's pov, someone who will be unattainable to him.

Besides the obvious height difference, give me Sophie who is mostly positioned below Benedict and extension his family. Whether it's her kneeling down to hem a dress or curtsying to the Bridgertons. Show me she is below their station. The fact that we get to explore the downstairs in greater detail let's us see Sophie's liminal struggle between those two worlds, not quite belonging in either. Up and down, up and down, she constantly goes.

And then Benedict challenging it by assisting Sophie into a carriage or softly lifting her chin up to meet his eyes; wanting so badly to be on the same level. She is so close to him, yet so far out of reach causing the same theme as The Lady in Silver but just at the opposite end of the social class!

All for at the end of the season to get Sophie and Benedict at equal heights, (the bath, a bed) finally being able to be together.

they should invent a grief that doesn’t define you in new and strange ways for the rest of your life
