#I know i'm jumping the gun

[wanderingmind867]

I'm not sure how i'll feel when i get around to rereading the Son of Neptune. I haven't read any of these books since before covid (and since before i had this tumblr account), so now i have an excuse to read slower and take more notes. But that's a topic for another post after school. Anyways, I'm curious to see how I handle rereading it. Because i have a burning, raging hatred for the greco-roman afterlife, I imagine hazel's story might annoy me. Because i hate circe and medea and their like, we'll see how this reread affects my opinions on characters like reyna and hylla. The only characters I know I'll probably love are Frank and Ella (Frank used to feel a little relatable when i was younger, i think. Plus he's canadian too! And Ella was always fun to read about. The weird harpy with a love of knowledge). I might end up really liking Octavian too, because i remember finding him a super compelling and entertaining antagonist. But we'll see eventually, I guess.

Ooh will you pls walk us through your perfume/body wash/lotion collection?

fun fact i actually use gentle/unscented body products so all of my body wash/soaps/lotions/etc are not (or are negligibly) fragranced! my derm put the fear of god into me abt how it can irritate your skin, and since switching years ago i just haven't gone back! i like that it makes whatever fragrance i'm wearing smell cleaner and less muddied too. (my shampoo/conditioner/other hair product is fragranced so that still has a scent, so does my deodorant, and my laundry detergent. w that many scents happening on a regular basis i feel like there's rly no need for scented body cleansers imho.)

The Wintersea Republic and the Free State: Different Age lengths?

I was going to save this until my Hollowpox reread post, but I’ve hit a snag in my eternal reread and now I don’t know when I’ll share that. This is something I noticed that I didn’t fully realize before. This is specifically about post-Massacre Ages. Pre-Massacre stuff is still currently a Wild West of unknowns.

The Wintersea Republic seems to have consistently had 10-12 year Ages since it was formed. This lines up with the amount of Ages it has had and how long it’s been around for. This consistency is also how Squall establishes the “curse.”

I had always assumed that Ages were consistent among the Realm, so that Nevermoor has also been experiencing these same Age lengths for the same amount of time. This is because at the beginning of the first book we see that their Morningtides align. This is where my theory about Wundersmith deaths or Wunder irregularities causing Eventides at the end of years comes from, because it seems likely that that’s what triggered this Eventide and likely all the ones related to the “curse”.

However, in ch2 of Hollowpox, Jupiter says the following:

“Golders Night,” Holliday echoed, and her expression grew thoughtful. She tapped a finger against her mouth. “There’s a thought… what’s it been, twelve years since the last one?” “Fourteen, I believe,” said Jupiter. “Spring of Seventeen in the Age of Poets. ”

So, 14 years ago, Nevermoor was in the midst of an Age that was at least 17 years long? Now I'm less sure what triggers Eventides/new Ages, especially in the Free State...

I find it unlikely that the Republic also experienced this same 17 year Age, as the fairly consistent Ages seems to be how Squall establishes the Eventide Curse... HOWEVER..... Morrigan turns 13 in Hollowpox... so this would have been the Age before her, and it might've actually been more like 18 (or 19? I'm bad at math) years long? Maybe Squall did something new the Age before Mog, like tried to take on an apprentice or two before her, or carry out some plan (or study?) with the other cursed children. The abnormally long Age could be balanced out by some of the earlier Ages in the lifespan of the Wintersea Republic being considerably short in comparison.

I would love to hear anyone's own thoughts on this! It's something I realized and now am trying to figure out how it fits with everything because I never really thought about it before.

School ends in a month. I guess the summer break will be nice, but I'm also afraid it'll remind me of the fact that I'm aging. And damn it, I hate the feeling of aging. Especially since I have no friends besides my dad irl right now. I turn 20 next year! 20! And goddamn it, it's hard to think about. I don't think I'm going to enjoy my birthdays until I get over this fear of aging and loneliness. So summer break may remind me that next year is the last year I can probably go to high school, and that then I'll need to transition to university or college. And I hate thinking about all this. It can be so stressful.

one thing I really dislike in bl as someone who speaks & understands thai, is when a couple who used to be friends becomes an item & decide to change the formality of pronouns they use for each other. they always go from the least formal that exist ('kuu'/'meung') to the most formal ever ('pom'/'khun'), like... 'chan'/'rao' & 'ter'/'nai'/'geh' exist babes, please use them 🙏

I WAS TALKING ABOUT WESKER 😭 HFKDKDHDBD

I was so confused at first but then I realized she thought I was calling her a nerd instead of Wesker

Like.. girl!!!! It’s okay to be a nerd!! I am too!! Embrace it!! Don’t get offended by it, especially when I’m just trying to be silly. And I call him that all the time… 😅 And if it's that big of a deal, maybe take the time to actually talk to me instead of blocking me so we can talk it out like adults.
