They are both the same.

The first is what they say and the second is what they mean. It could also be reversed.

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

If we as part of the EPIC fandom were to get one of the albums nominated which one should we all focus on to get that done?

While it would be Ideal for Jay to release a full album with every song (and maybe the more popular uncut songs) if we had to choose and take one to the top in hopes to get a nomination which would it be?

I don't know why there are fake people distorting our image. I am Moataz from northern Gaza, a graphic designer, and this is my Instagram account. I photographed almost the entirety of northern Gaza. You can visit it and make sure. Unfortunately, we have gone through a lot and there is no passion to delve into the controversy of what is happening outside the world.

This is my campaign, and I will continue to fight to reach its long-term goal and rebuild my home, just as I fought throughout 257 days of war to stay alive. This is all not for me, but for the sake of my daughter, my wife, and our future children. My brother was martyred a week ago, and this is the biggest thing that has happened to me in this war, but I cannot surrender. I will keep trying just for the sake of my family.

Weird thing to be hung up on but when it comes to fanfics and shipping, if the story takes place in the “Canon” timeline, I can’t really imagine Percy and Annabeth not together or with anyone else. Like both character wise and narratively they’re too interwoven and for each other. Only stories I can really read that have Percy and Annabeth not together are AU or alternate timelines where the characters and events are supposed to be fundamentally different. But because of how much they’ve gone through their relationship with each other is a core part of their characterization, so any story that take place in the canon timeline but doesn’t have them together is already seeming OOC to me.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah, I’m with you. A lot of people say they’d still work as just friends. And while their friendship is my favorite part of their relationship—I love when they refer to each other as their best friend—I don’t see them working long-term as purely platonic, or being able to permanently be with someone else. Sure, they could date other people! They could fall for other people. But marry someone else? Have a different lifelong partner? I just don’t think it would work. People say to marry your best friend for a reason. Chemistry and attraction can fade, but true friendship and partnership? That’s not as fragile. And if someone is truly your life partner, they have to be your #1. Your biggest fan. Your greatest ally. And honestly? I’m not sure anyone else could fill those roles for them better than they do for each other. I can see them staying just friends, but I can't see them choosing other people over each other.

That's the thing about Percy and Annabeth; while their chemistry is very natural and strong, it has never once been “easy” for them to actually be together. They consistently choose each other. The world has tried to tear them apart in so many different ways, so many different times. A child of Poseidon and a child of Athena aren’t even supposed to like each other in the first place. Athena tried keeping them apart. The gods have tried keeping them apart. They’ve both been kidnapped and taken to the other side of the country. They are complete opposites in many ways and were raised extremely differently. And not only are they both very flawed and just overall very difficult people, but they also low-key annoy the crap out of each other lol. So it’s not like being together has ever been a simple or effortless thing for them.

And yet, Percy chose Annabeth to go on every one of his quests with him. Annabeth chose Percy to go on her quest through the Labyrinth with her. When each of them was kidnapped, they chose to follow each other, no matter the distance. Percy chose to fall with her into Tartarus. Annabeth chose to live in New York to be with him. They met each other when they were 12 and since that day, they've never chosen anyone or anything else but one another.

So yeah, no one else could ever understand them the way they understand each other. But their lives and traumas aren’t so deeply interwoven just by chance. They actively chose to go through those horrors side-by-side. And that, combined with their natural chemistry and attraction, makes it hard to imagine them truly working with anyone else. Even when Luke and Rachel played important and slightly romantic roles in their lives, Percy and Annabeth still consistently prioritized each other. And that was before they were even dating.

So it’s not that they couldn’t survive apart or love someone new. It's not that they couldn't be attracted to other people. It's not because they are "perfect." It’s because long-term marriage and relationships can't rely on lust or convenience to last. Things can get complicated and messy and dark real fast. So for a relationship to be strong and to last, even under the harshest of conditions, two people have to choose each other, every single day, no matter what. Over everyone else. And despite the blemishes of their relationship, that is exactly what Percy and Annabeth's entire relationship has been since the first book. Alternate versions where they don’t put each other first feel wrong because it goes against their nature.

I know many people—even Percabeth shippers—disagree, and that's fine! I'm not against shipping them with others or having them remain purely platonic. But for me personally, it just feels wrong and OOC. But to each their own!

Dear, I know many are sending you requests for help 😔 Reassure yourself that asking for help is not easy 💔😔 But my circumstances and those of my family are extremely difficult, given our lack of a source of income, especially since my father is ill. Dear, we need at least $70 a day to provide food and medicine, of which we do not have any. I truly hope you will help me and not let me down so that my family and I can continue to live. My family and I are very grateful for your support 🫂❤️

Tony keeps in touch with Harley post IM3.

Tony hacks into Harley's school to see what his grades are and it not clocking that he could literally just ask about it.

Tony keeping up with the Keener’s via twice monthly phone calls that turn into weekly ones that turn into Tony and Mrs. Keener texting back and forth.

Tony invites the kid to visit during a school break where they both just tinker with things. Harley is nervous at first until they meet up again and they start snarking back and forth.

At least one minor fire or explosion happens. If asked, neither know what started it. (Tony was wiring a gauntlet and Harley jokingly called him Dad when Tony told him he had to do his homework.)

The Keener’s visit for a week in the summertime, Tony has bought the lake house earlier to have a place away from people. Mrs. Keener and Pepper get along pretty well and both the kids like Pepper, so Tony counts it as a win.

Tony offers to pay for Harley and his sister's education and Mrs. Keener took him up on it because there was no way she’d be able to afford to send both her kids to college unless one of them got a free ride and Tony shows he cares by spending money and making sure those he cares about are safe and comfortable.

Harley spends the summer before his freshman year of high school with Tony. Tony finds a used classic car and they spend the summer rebuilding it and upgrading the engine to run clean.

Tony finds Spider-Man and finds out he’s a year older than Harley. Tony panics because here’s another kid genius but this one's in way over his head and will stay in over his head regardless of if he has support or proper equipment. Tony decides that no one else is gonna help this kid and give him as much protection as he could if he built him a suit, so he does just that.

Tony finds out about Midtown through Peter and approaches Mrs. Keener with an opportunity for Harley. (It's a genius school and it's practically a feeder to MIT, it'll be great.) Harley moves into the tower that Tony has kept here because he has reason to stay in the city.

Tony is a lot better at dealing with a kid because he's been hanging out with Harley so long, so he invites Peter over to meet Harley and have lab time. 

Harley just quips “so you’re my replacement?” to Peter and Peter immediately panicking and stuttering over himself while Harley howls with laughter.

Harley helps Peter learn to be more comfortable around Tony by roasting Tony for twenty straight minutes and after a month of lab days enlists Peter's help in making a program for FRIDAY to blast Barbie Girl when Tony has spent 24 hours or more in the lab.

Peter asks Harley to hang out with Ned outside of lab days. The three of them end up building a LEGO Deathstar and have drawn up the plans to be able to make it hover the next lab day.

Peter and Harley become thick as thieves and get to the point of that weird twin telepathy especially when it comes to being sassy.

One school break the three of them didn't go outside for the first four days, just spending most of the time in the lab so Pepper comes in and orders them to go outside for once my god Tony. Take them to your favorite burger place, I don't care, just be outside.

This leads to the three of them getting Pap'd. ("Yeah, I was out to lunch with my two interns, what's the matter with that?" is the quote above a picture of him laughing as the two boys pretend their straw wrappers are mustaches.)

This leads Tony to realize that he hadn't actually gotten the boys registered as his interns and remedies this immediately. (with backpay into a trust for each of them(Harley already gets an allowance, Tony has no idea how much is the proper amount to give to a 14 year old, and so usually gives him a few of whatever bills are in his wallet.))

Tony decides that now that they're officially employees of SI, that means they get to check out the place and so brings them down to R&D where everybody is immediately charmed by Peter and amused by Harley. The boys end up talking to the interns on the floor while Tony discusses the latest StarkPad.

One lab day both Harley and Peter look exhausted but Peter still showed up for lab time so they make their way there. Tony takes one look at them and asks FRIDAY to scan them, they both have fevers and he herds them into his living room.

Tony orders all the cold remedies he can think of to be brought up to the penthouse. Tony instructs the boys to pick a movie while he gathers blankets and dumps them on the boys.

Tony frantically texting Harley's mom and May asking them what he should do I've never taken care of a sick kid before, there are two of them, what do I do??

May asks Tony if Peter can stay the night because she's working a double that she can't get out of. He says yes if she can tell him what to do for sick kids because Harley's mom hasn't been able to respond.

Tony ends up joining the boys on the couch after forcing each of them to take cold medicine and thrusting a bowl of chicken noodle soup into each of their hands. Tony's in between the boys.

Over the course of WALL-E each boy begins to sag eventually trapping Tony on the couch. He's got one drooling in his shoulder and another drooling on his thigh. He asks FRIDAY to take several pictures before going back to his work on his StarkPad.

This starts Peter staying over whenever May is working night shifts. Then staying over every other weekend. Then Tony invites May and Peter to go on vacation to the lake house for a few days in the summer.

The Keener family is also present and May, Pepper and Mrs. Keener get on like a house on fire. Peter loves playing with Abbie with Harley. Three group chats are made that day. The adults in a co-parenting chat, the ladies in an exasperated with our geniuses chat and the kids in a sass and meme chat.

Just, Tony becomes a dad to two brilliant boys (and maybe one of the boy's baby sisters too depending how you want to write her).

[ramen8008]

almost all the dishes in the Stark family house are the same. the plates, cups, and silverware are from the same (ridiculously overpriced) brand.

there are a few exceptions, of course. there's the old china tea set from one of Pepper's relatives, and there's old sippy cups and plastic dishes that Morgan doesn't use anymore (she's a big girl now).

but the one that Morgan is really curious about is her dad's mug.

it's a weird looking thing, in her opinion. it could be mistaken for any simple white mug, if not for a few details. the edges are chipped and rougher than the rest of the mug, there's a strange pattern of dots painted around the rim, and one side reads "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to the WORLD'S #1 DAD".

Morgan's dad loves the mug, she suspects. it's the only cup he uses to drink anything.

and, being the curious kid that she is, she wants to know what's so special about it. she waits one day until her dad is gone and her mom is on an important call to climb onto the counter and pluck it carefully from the drying rack.

upon closer inspection, she realizes that the little dots look like spiders. and at the bottom on the inside, there’s tiny lettering that spells: "To Tony, from Peter."

that night, while her dad's tucking her into bed and asking her which story she wants him to tell tonight, she builds up her courage and asks him, "do you have any stories about Peter?"

she will remember the look on his face for years to come.

of course, after asking her where she learned that name from, he agrees. he tells her about the genius named Peter Parker and his scientific adventures and discoveries. and the next night, after she asks for another Peter Parker story, it becomes a habit.

eventually, "the adventures of Peter Parker" becomes her second favorite bedtime story request.

(second only to "the adventures of Spider-Man", of course).

[ramen8008]

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

[ramen8008]

Thinking about how Tony Stark was literally basically paranoid, depressed, addicted and self-hating to the point of suicidal but nobody noticed because every cry for help just seemed like the persona he had crafted

[ramen8008]

“He’s my friend.” “So was I.” 

Okay but you don't understand the meaning behind that. I see so many people being like “uh since when?” Or “Thats rich.” or something akin to that- NO!. The words are supposed to be in mourning. Tony and Steve are two sides of the same coin, they admire each other, they push each other, they support each other. If you cant see that I don’t think we watched the same movies or read the same comics. The words hit so hard because they were friends. They were close friends. Steve is the one who stops Tony’s negative self talk. Tony convinced Steve to rejoin the Avengers. (this is comics) They’re the two leaders of the team, Tony handles things from above, Steve is on the ground. It is very real when people say mom and dad are fighting for civil war because thats what it is. They started the Avengers together and they mean so much to each other. “So was I.” Matters because it mourns what they are, what they were, what they’ve become, it mourns their friendship in three simple words, mourns what they’ve lost in each other, mourns what has come between them. Anyway I have lots of feels and these two idiots seem like the perfect way to exude those. :P
