Percy, in the middle of battle: goddess, save us all.

Someone: don't you mean gods?

Percy: nope. Most of them are unreliable. I only pray to Hestia, and when I asked she said that she preferred she/her pronouns.

@gamzees-bignaturals here we have met up at our battle spot and are getting ready to enter the arena

And here you have failed instantly to dodge my warping mind abilities, and you are temporarily lodged in the slit of reality that I inhabit constantly, where you drowning me is even less possible than normal

I just learned that in WW I&II the soldiers would mistakenly call the nurses “mom”. In their worst of moments regressing back to their most human state, and the state that some of them were just freshly out of: childhood. Going back to being someone’s son when in need of comfort and the illusion of peace that keeps their spark of hope lot.

And that made me wonder about the Titans. Do you ever think these kids who couldn’t be kids ever whisper in the nonexistent silence of a battlefield the name of a loved one? A parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, etc.? Do you think these teenager in their lowest and last moments against eternal evils confess their want for comfort, confess their yearning for childhood like hurried last words, dying with them? And do you think, that their friends, kids just like them, the highest of humans a with the biggest of hearts, do you think they indulge them?

Do you think for just a few moments in battle when someone can’t get up, when someone needs to get up, and they call for comfort where they think they’ll never find it, they here a steady whisper back, they here a rhythmic assurance of love and peace even amidst the bloodshed they’re in? Do you think that just maybe when they call out for their moms, and they get a call back, they become so happy to be babies again, so happy to be someone’s babies again, that they forget that their moms aren’t the ones calling back comfort? That they forget that they’re not kids with innocence and ignorance, but that they’re warriors fighting for worlds and nations and people? And do you think that the comforting whispers waver when they think of the warrior in front of them as someone’s baby, calling for comfort? Do you think they’re able to convince themselves of the hopeful peace after they have to whisper the lies of it to the crying kids?
