Hooboy ok. If you are a Cynthia/Diantha fan, you need to do yourself a favor and read Getaway Car by @ranger-kellyn if you haven't already. No, I'm serious, go fucking do it. Yes, right now. You already read it? Excellent. Now go read it again. GO.

Idk how to articulate how hard this fic has rocked my brain. The author has an incredible way of detailing the world and character interactions and has an exceptionally good understanding of why people do what they do. I wish I had better words to explain just how engaging this read was. This is one of those fics where, when I finally caught up, it had me going "well now what" because it had consumed my brain so thoroughly and I immediately wanted to turn around and start reading it all over again. Kind of like when I played Red Dead Redemption 2 the first time and other games just weren't as satisfying for a while after bc it set the bar so high lmao.

Basically, this is the first two pages of a short comic I have been very, very slowly working on for the past couple months based on a script that is used within the fic. I've always wanted to do a comic of my own but have never taken the plunge for many different reasons. Kellyn has been kind enough to let me use their script to work off of. In the fic, both Cynthia and Diantha perform in a crime drama TV show side by side and that show is what this comic is based on. For further context, go read the fic. : ) Hopefully, I will be able to stick with this project and y'all will see the next couple pages in another month or so lmao

teacher student edizzy au but theyre literally already married, its just Izzy as a history teacher or something and Ed as a forever student (they can afford this because of a youth of crime & family discounts) studying something different every few years. he never pursues something all the way to PHD, just has a ton of different degrees. but every time they have some freak psychosexual teacher/student roleplay about it. like, Ed's studying for a chemistry degree, why is he taking a history class? (to fuck the professor)

the "3000 year old child" trope has the possibility to be genuinely intriguing and could explore the way children are treated across time no matter their apparent level of intelligence. it could be funny it could be heartbreaking it could be horrific to think about. too bad 90% of it is just an excuse to be a creep. sad!

AU where Hades never cursed the Oracle of Delphi, and it not taking a new host really was just a weird anomaly case of no one "fitting" coming around. When May comes to camp and attempts to become the Oracle, she succeeds without any major issues. Apollo even allows her to raise her son- in her spare time where she isn't acting as his oracle, ofcourse. May's fine with it, overjoyed even. She moves into camp permanently together with Luke, Chiron allowing Luke to stay with his mother instead of going to the Hermes cabin while he's so young. Hermes meanwhile resigns himself to keeping his distance. He loves May- so seeing her like this, unattainable to him without risking the wrath of Apollo- well he simply can't bear it. Best not to risk it at all.

The dream comes crashing down for May much quicker than she expected though- turns out there's a lot more expected of her as Oracle of Delphi than she originally thought. She has to learn ancient greek, the culture of Camp Halfblood, and how things work. She has to advise people, and remain composed as she serves Apollo faithfully. (A younger Oracle would have had more time- would have seen less responsibility as she is allowed to grow into it. But May? She's a grown adult, and she does not have any of the leniency someone younger would get)

Years pass in the blink of an eye- and despite not spending as much time with her son as she wished she could- May does generally say that they are happy. She doesn't think much of it when Luke moves into the Hermes cabin at the age of nine. It's where all his siblings are, and kids to grow up quickly these days. It's note like he'd bee too far away either- all that really changes is Luke sleeping in a different spot! Chiron has been mentioning it anyway that Luke should join his siblings- Hermes had claimed him as soon as he moved into Camp with his mother permanently, and the boy's been kept from his cabin long enough.

It's not like she couldn't use the extra room and time for herself anyway. Being the Oracle of Delphi is a busy job after all. As the years go by May grows into her role more. Luke starts being independent from her more and more- spending more time away from her and with other campers. But there's no reason to be concerned about that, right? It's normal for children to grow independent as they age. And May is so proud of her baby boy when he becomes Hermes head counselor. His failed quest was...well, it was a low point. Especially when she had to look Luke in the eyes and give him a prophecy spelling doom. Believe her when she says that she spend every single day worrying about and praying for her child to return safely.

Especially when her brave boy refuses to take any companions with him, not wanting to endanger anyone else. It doesn't matter to May that Luke returns with a scar and no apple- all that matters is that he's alive. Her baby boy is alive and safe and that is all that matters. It concerns her when Luke refuses any of her attempts to comfort him. Turning his back anytime she approaches him, telling his mother "not to worry" and that "she surely has more important stuff to worry about than him"

May learns soon enough that her son needs space now. All her attempts are met with rejection and bitterness, so clearly Luke does not need- nor want- his mother right now. It's fine, May is sure her son is fine. Or at least she thought so until one day, on the last day of summer, Luke leads Percy into the woods and sticks a pit scorpion on him. Telling him about how horrid their parents truly are- mortal and godly. Afterall, no matter how much they say they "love" their children- there's always something more important. Another prophecy to speak, another camper to advise, another ritual for Apollo to perform. All that matters to them are the gods- a half-mortal child simply isn't important enough. And he's not gonna take it any longer. May is the Oracle of Delphi. Luke hates both his parents. And fate is unavoidable.

Just went through screencapping more green witch arc manga panels of Seb for icon possibilities and went through the famed "exploring the forest and Seb crying" scene and just. oh my god. the fucking mom/dadbastian energy is actually fucking off the charts in that scene. like, the CONTEXT after everything that has happened in their contract so far, and then the current situation, of Sebastian himself never having been in this whatever this is (SPOILERS: a forest set up to keep outsiders away and not a natural forest. With no animals and a trap to trigger mustard gas) and IMMEDIATELY insisting they go back before things get bad.. but oh no they GET BAD ANYWAY-

...

God I cannot wait for this to be animated.
