[rocking back and forth, being dragged into a padded room] good things come to those who wait… it’s okay if I wait until my headache is gone to read the new chapter… I’ll survive… it’ll be fine…
In the meanwhile, I did have the brain power to read something about you giving us permission to tell you which songs we associate with Bart (I think)? Allow me to yap (*゚▽゚*) (** this may not make sense because my head hurts so badly, but I need a distraction, okay?)
• Hurry Hurry by Air Traffic Control
DUDE this is my number one Bart song. Obviously there’s the whole “hurrying through life” bit, but there’s this one part towards the end that sounds like an explosion. Comic spoilers, but if you know how Inertia kills Bart, you’ll get it! I also just like the juxtaposition with the happy, upbeat tone to the song compared to its actual meaning.
• I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman by K-OS
Reminds me of how you describe Bart’s time with Owen a bit. “But I can’t [really] make you love me” is repeated throughout the song, but the lyrics also just seem fitting. “I’ve been on the run; this shadow weighs a ton; It’s starting to make sense to me; I can’t really make you love me”
• Life Itself by Glass Animals
The way it sounds… yeah. The song is also about someone who “was born a bit strange, and struggles to become part of society.” Um… and I was really obsessed with Bart and this song at the same time… eheh
I have many more, but I’ll stop now because this ask is already long asf! :) Thank you for the distraction, I am going to sleep for 13 hours now.
nah omg thoughts and prayers bestie cause headaches r truly the devils spawn, hope u feel better after some good rest 💛
hurry hurry - air traffic control
just listened to this and i see ur vision, juxtapositioned songs r always theeeee shit so i see where ur coming from, vibes, lyrics like yes also that ending bit kills me (and ba-) like damn SDFGHJk
i wish i knew natalie portman - K-OS
nah this slaps and i felt that part, ur mind
life itself - glass animals
IMMACULATE VIBES ✅FANTASTIC VIBES ✅OUT OF THIS WORLD VIBES ✅YES ✅YES ✅YES ✅ I GET IT ✅ I GET IT ✅
it was a biblical event the way the universe aligned for u to make this connection at the same time because this is such a peak song for a bart allen playlist, truly
THANK YOU for sharing this with us, bart-core songs r quite literally the best thing out there and i live for them so whenever u feel like it, keep them coming 🫡

Who are your top ten favorite Thor characters? Why are they your faves?
Hello 👋🏼😄 and wow what an interesting question! I’m going to based the Thor characters based on the comics and the movies as well!
1. Jane Foster -When I first was in middle school, my school had a book about all the comic heroes and she was on there. And something about her story really stuck with me. I thought “wow this character is so cool! I think she’s my favorite superhero” Then of course I watched Thor and I figured out that Jane Foster was played by none other than the fantastic Natalie Portman who I knew because before being a Marvel fan I was a huge Star Wars fan and I thought Padmé was so cool. And over time as I started watching more movies with Jane and finally last year getting most of the Mighty Thor comics, she is by far my favorite superhero and character in Marvel. She represents what a hero should be in my opinion.
2. Thor - Now when I watched Thor I was really fond of him. I loved how he saved the people of Jane’s town despite knowing them for about a couple days. I really loved MCU Thor mostly. Chris Hensworth did a fantastic job as Thor. No one could have done it better. I love Thors kind and compassionate heart and his need to help others. His backstory as well is so interesting! To this day, Thor remains one me of my favorite Avenger!
3. Darcy - I know she’s not part of the comics but one of the best parts of the first and second Thor movies for me was Darcy’s humor and how sassy she was. And I love how she became a doctor like Jane in Wandavision. Overall she was such a fun and relatable character that kept me laughing!
4. Freya/Frigga - One of the things I loved about reading the Thor comics was whenever Thors mother Freya was on. She is such a fascinating character. She’s intelligent, a good queen and mother and overall a badass! I always loved her relationship with Thor and I feel like we never got enough of that in the Thor franchise. And side note I also loved her friendship with jane and how they are always there for each other! I really wished we had more of Freya in the movies because she’s just so amazing
5. Heimdall - I love Heimdall in the movies and in the comics. I loved the bond that he and Thor shared throughout the movies and comics. And I love how he was sort of like a second father to Thor and Loki. What makes me sad is that both versions end up dying (rip Heimdall) I hope we do see more of him though!
6. Roz Solomon - Roz Solomon is so underrated in the comics! She’s an amazing SHIELD agent who’s such a badass! I loved the relationship she and Jane had especially! It just felt so natural and they greatly respected each other! One of my favorite parts in the comics is when Jane tells her she’s Thor showing how she trusts her and Roz goes “can everyone stop turning into things now” Overall such a sassy, awesome character! I was sad when we didn’t see much of her in the Valkyrie series!
7. Fandral - I remember reading both the comics and watching the first Thor I never really payed attention to the warrior three. But recently I watched the dark world thanks to @beheworthy 😄 and Fandral kept making me laugh the whole time. And I love Zachary Levi too so that made it even better! And then I reread some of my thor comics he was briefly in and he was great in that too. He’s just an overall funny character!
8. Volstagg - Out of all the warriors three, in my opinion, Volstagg had the kindest heart. He would help Jane being senator in the Congress of Worlds as well as just being a good friend! The saddest moment he had is when he picked up the War Hammer and was becoming rage full. It made me so sad that kind Volstagg was the War Thor. And he was great in the movies too! Rest in peace Ray Stevenson 😢
9. Sif - I’ve recently been loving Sif! She’s such an amazing warrior as well as protective of Asgard in the movies and in the comics. I love how in the comics they made her the new gatekeeper to replace heimdall. I thought that greatly suited her. She’s truly a fierce fighter!
10. Valkyrie (Brunhilde) - Valkyrie’s death killed me in war of the realms. I was not expecting her to die so horribly in War of the Realms. I also really enjoyed Valkyrie in the Marvels! She was really funny and her dynamic with Carol was adorable!
Those are all my favorite characters in the Thor franchise. I also decided to make a list of characters I liked the least in the Thor franchise
1. Odin - I HATE HIM SO MUCH! I am not even kidding you I despise Odin I could write a whole essay on why I hate him (perhaps another time) but my blog is an Odin hate blog. He’s at the top of the list for a variety of reasons I won’t list right now.
2. Loki - I’m only putting Loki on here because I love to hate him. Loki was never really one of my favorites when I first became a marvel fan but I just love to hate him. That’s the only reason why im putting him on here.
But thank you so much @zndr315-blog for asking me this! I’ve never really gotten to list my favorite Thor characters so thank you! 😄🙌🏼

Day 92: Monday April 1, 2024 - "William & Huck's Women's Bracket"
In our house, we were primed to enjoy the women's tourney more than the men, once Sparty got bounced in the first weekend. The Women's bracket this year had all the star power and all the stories, including one homegrown wonder - William and Huck's bracket. Each year, I always enjoy bracket picking. When I was a kid, I reveled in the important job of running the pool for my Dad's work. I can't imagine I've missed a bracket since I can remember. For William, I started filling one out for him, and he can share in the Dog's bracket which follows the logic of Dogs win, Animals beat humans. Though once to the elite 8 this year I let William make the picks if they were both animals.
On this night, April 1, we enjoyed an unbelievable matchup between LSU and Iowa to go to the Final Four. If Iowa pulled out the Victory, the famed Fun bracket would end up with a perfect final four....and in front of the most televised women's event of all time, and most viewed ESPN basketball game ever, they pulled it out. A perfect bracket of two big chickens, a Husky, and a Wolf. The logic missed very few games, including one that was definitely a mistake pick. The tourney just got better and better, with each game setting a new record for viewership. It felt like all of American was tuning in and most had forgotten all about or cared far less about the mens tourney. At least thats true in our house this March. Iowa beat UConn while we celebrated my Dad's birthday and then lost to South Carolina who finished their undefeated back-to-back run. It was a classy quality product. William's bracket was pretty fine too. He'd end his perfect run with in the 99.9th percentile, ranked 617 overall in the world out of 4 million+ brackets. Pretty neat considering its a two year picking big chickens, and a dog that can't talk. We were only 90 points off from the championship - if only we hadn't taken the Richmond Spiders over the Duke Blue Devils. I guess there is always next year, but I have a suspicion that this will be the best bracket we'll ever see.... at least, as of today, its true for me.

Natalie Portman, Gal Gadot, YESJULZ, SIMPLY JESS, Tracey Edmonds - READ THIS LETTER - The difference between 'Tangible' and 'Intangible' assets. Choose carefully what you chase in this world.
Subject: Embracing the Power of "In Stasis" and Choosing Intangible Assets over Tangible Ones
1- Natalie Portman.
2- Gal Gadot.
3- Julieanna Goddard. YESJULZ.
4- Jessica Marquez. SIMPLY JESS
5- Tracey Edmonds.
Dear Natalie, Gal, Julieanna, Simply Jess and Tracey,
I hope this letter finds each of you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to share with you a concept that has guided my life for many decades — the notion of being "in stasis."
The term "in stasis" refers to a state of inactivity or equilibrium, a calm state of mind. For example, when we say, "his intensity could unsettle his equilibrium," we mean that someone's fervor might disrupt their inner balance. In my case, I've embraced this state of stasis as a conscious choice to remain detached from the worldly pursuits that often consume people's lives.
Over the years, I've found solace and purpose in cultivating what I refer to as "intangible assets." Unlike the majority who chase tangible assets such as money, cars, jewelry, and extravagant homes — all visible and taxable by the IRS — I've dedicated my life to accumulating knowledge.
Knowledge, being an intangible asset, is invisible to the eyes but immensely powerful. I've been on this journey since 1993, and today, the dividends of that dedication are evident in the wealth of information I'm able to share. I urge you to consider the distinction between tangible and intangible assets, as it plays a crucial role in the choices we make in life.
While tangible assets are subject to scrutiny and taxation, intangible assets like knowledge are immune to such measures. The pursuit of intangible assets allows one to avoid the pitfalls of greed, pride, envy, lust, gluttony, and other vices associated with the pursuit of worldly possessions.
I encourage each of you to consider shifting your focus towards intangible assets, freeing yourselves from the control of the demons associated with the seven deadly sins. By choosing knowledge and other intangible assets, we can break free from the chains that bind those who relentlessly pursue tangible wealth and societal validation.
I believe in the transformative power of knowledge and the freedom it provides from the shackles of materialism. Embrace the calmness of "in stasis" and let the pursuit of intangible assets be your guide to a life filled with purpose, wisdom, and true fulfillment.
Wishing you all the best on your respective journeys.
Warm regards,
Your friend. Alien Putin.
P.S.:
Here is a ghetto explanation for those who need me to explain things in ghetto terms, read this:
My dear Natalie Portman and Gal Gadot and Julieanna Goddard and Simply Jess, Tracey Edmonds, I want to explain to you the meaning of the term 'in stasis" which is a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium, a calm state of mind. for example the phrase: "his intensity could unsettle his equilibrium" What am I trying to explain here? Let me explain, I want to help you understand that I'm a man that has been trained to remain 'in stasis' for many many decades, which means that I don't even need human company because I have been blessed with a superhuman brain that helps me keep busy all year long without ever feeling lonely or feeling any longing or any need for human interaction, if only you knew how much human interaction bores me, you would understand why I love my solitude, I'm a book worm, I love libraries and knowledge, I have abandoned the chase of this stupid world, money, cars, jewelry, big homes, palatial homes, the materialism of this world doesn't excite me at all, that is why you see me in a state of stasis, I shun worldly pleasures, I shun vanity, I shun pride, self-centeredness, narcissism, the incessant need to take selfies for social media, the need for attention from fans around the world, that is not for me.
So what do I do? I run away from these worldly things. I also wanted to teach you something about the difference between 'tangible assets' and 'intangible assets'. Let me explain, did you know that the majority of the world population chase the same exact thing and that thing is called 'tangible assets' ? The famous people of this world like the musicians, the sports players, the actors, the fashion models, tech titans of silicon valley, even some politicians have chased the quick-buck-thrill of the 'tangible assets' their money is visible in a bank account, they can see their money physically existing in a bank account, do you know why? Because it is a tangible asset, and their tangible assets are in the form of homes, cars, jewelry, expensive clothes, etc.. As you can guess, this is taxable by the I.R.S. because they can see tangible assets, it is something they can verify physically, do you understand? Follow my reasoning because I'm about to explain to you the second kind of asset which is the 'Intangible assets' and that is what I have chosen to chase in my life, I have been chasing 'intangible assets' since 1993 I was a young 12-year-old kid, a teenager, I always loved accumulating knowledge in various fields and today that knowledge is paying dividends as you can attest to it yourself, are you a witness that I'm dropping knowledge all over the place? It is because I don't chase 'tangible assets' like the majority of the human populace of this earth, no, no, I do the opposite, instead and I chase what they all reject and refuse to chase which is 'intangible assets'. Knowledge is an intangible asset and it takes years of hard work to accumulate this knowledge, it is why I'm so powerful because I have been accumulating knowledge since 1993, I was a 12-year-old kid back then and now I'm one of the wealthiest man in the world in terms of 'intangible assets' that is why the I.R.S. can't touch my assets because these assets are invisible to the eyes, it is intangible assets, which makes me the one and only owner of my 'intangible asset', no one can steal my intangible assets and no one can freeze my intangible assets because it is intangible, which means it is invisible. I hope you understand my explanation, it sounds difficult to understand but you will get the different meanings between the 'intangible assets' and the ’tangible assets'. This is one of the reasons I'm encouraging you girls to change your styles from now on, you should start chasing 'intangible assets’ from now on and avoid the attention that comes with chasing 'tangible assets', as you can see, the people who love to chase 'tangible assets' have become slaves to their own sins of greed, sins of pride, sins of envy, sins of lust, sins of gluttony etc.. That is what I'm trying to help you understand, the people who chase 'tangible assets' are all slaves to the demons of the seven deadly sins and it is important that you notice that and open your eyes. Meanwhile, the people who chase 'intangible assets' like knowledge have chosen to refuse becoming slaves of the demons of the seven deadly sins. So, in other words, do you want to be free from demon control of the seven deadly sins? Or do you want to continue being slaves of the 7 deadly sins demons? It is your life, you have the liberty of choice, so choose wisely, the choices you make will impact not only your lives but the lives of those around you like your family members too, so think about it, this technique will help you protect your families too because do not forget that we are living in the times of the Apocalypse and the only people who will survive this apocalypse are people who choose the ‘in stasis’ lifestyle and remain in their homes to avoid any contact with the demons of this world, there are a lot of demons outside. While you see humans, I see something else, I see humans under the control of the demons of the seven deadly sins. If you didn’t know, now you know. Glad I could help you see things more clearly.

Embrace the journey, and never forget the profound impact your wisdom will have on shaping a formidable future. Cheers to the extraordinary strength that comes from knowledge!
Let me give you an example of work ethic, read the explanation below:
Fun Fact: "Lazar Angelov is my loyal friend since 2007, you can follow him. He is a good human being, he is a righteous man."
You will see the evolution of Lazar's body building journey. Click on this IG link: https://www.instagram.com/p/vJ2VZqg7FZ/
Here is the Lazar Angelov Fan page: https://www.instagram.com/lazarangelov_official_fanpage_/
Clean version paragraph: "Meet Lazar Angelov, a dedicated bodybuilder whose remarkable physique is the result of two decades of unwavering commitment. From 2003 to 2023, he spent every day in the gym, lifting weights, breathing in the atmosphere of dedication, and making fitness his life. Lazaro never missed a single day of training, living, breathing, and even sleeping in the gym. His extraordinary muscular body is a testament to his perseverance, dedication, and consistent effort. Lazar's achievement stands out in the gym world because he refused to give up for two decades, unlike those who are lazy or unwilling to invest the time.
Now, let's draw a parallel between Lazar's journey in the gym and the pursuit of knowledge. Just as Lazar sculpted his body through consistent effort in the gym, acquiring knowledge requires a similar level of dedication. Imagine the library as the intellectual equivalent of Lazar's gym—a space where you show up every day for two decades without missing a single day. The library becomes your training ground to build your brain muscles. The process involves perseverance, dedication, and the daily commitment to learning. Lazar's story vividly illustrates that whether you're shaping your body or expanding your mind, consistency and unwavering effort are the keys to extraordinary results."
Ghetto version paragraph: "The body builder's name is "Lazar Angelov", I want to help you understand that Lazar spent the past two decades in a GYM, he was busy building his body from 2003 until 2023 in the GYM, everyday he was there to lift weights, he never missed a single day of training in the GYM, he lives, breathes and sleeps in the GYM, that's all he did for two decades and then the result is mind blowing, he has managed to build the most amazing muscular body that the GYM world has ever seen, all that because of his work ethic in the GYM, unless he was wounded with muscular pain in a hospital bed, he never missed one day of training for two long decades, that is perserverance and dedication, consistency, he never gave up for two long decades and now he has a body that not many people can have because they are lazy and refuse to spend time in the gym for two decades. Now, I want to use this example of Lazar's life to help you understand that knowledge seeking is exactly the same as body building, there is no difference because you have to show up in the library every day for two decades without ever missing a single day in the library, important to remind you that the library is basically like the GYM for Lazar. The GYM to build your body and the Library to build your brain muscles."
Here is the library I recommend for erudtion in "Bergen,Norway":
Also I forgot to explain something about the Seven deadly sins, did you know? The Seven Deadly Sins, a concept deeply rooted in Christian theology, are often depicted with corresponding demons that embody and influence these vices. Each sin is believed to have its own malevolent force, a demon that serves as its personification and source of temptation. This association with demons adds a vivid and symbolic layer to the understanding of these sins.
Pride - Demon of Pride: At the pinnacle of the deadly sins is pride, and its associated demon is believed to be the embodiment of excessive self-love and arrogance. This demon is said to fuel the desire for superiority and the disregard for the worth of others.
Envy - Demon of Envy: Envy is accompanied by a malevolent force that stirs discontent and resentment towards the successes and possessions of others. The demon of envy is thought to feed on feelings of jealousy and bitterness.
Wrath - Demon of Wrath: The sin of wrath finds its demonic counterpart in a force that drives individuals towards anger, hatred, and a desire for revenge. This demon is associated with the destructive nature of uncontrolled fury.
Sloth - Demon of Sloth: Sloth is accompanied by a lethargic and indolent demon, promoting laziness and a neglect of one's responsibilities. The demon of sloth encourages a lack of motivation and a passive attitude towards life.
Greed - Demon of Greed: The sin of greed is tied to a demon that fuels insatiable desire for wealth and material possessions. This malevolent force drives individuals to prioritize personal gain above all else.
Lust - Demon of Lust: Lust is associated with a demon that tempts individuals with excessive desires and unrestrained indulgence in sensual pleasures. This demon is believed to exploit the weakness of unbridled passion.
Gluttony - Demon of Gluttony: The sin of gluttony is accompanied by a demon that encourages overconsumption and the pursuit of excess in food, drink, or other indulgences. This demonic force is associated with the lack of self-control.
The concept of demons associated with the Seven Deadly Sins adds a supernatural and metaphorical dimension to the understanding of human vices, emphasizing the spiritual and moral consequences of succumbing to these temptations.
For example, when you see an envious person, it is important to know that an envious person is under the control of the demon of envy.
For example, when you see a prideful person, it is important to know that a prideful person is under the control of the demon of pride.
For example, when you see a gluttonous person, it is important to know that a gluttonous person is under the control of the demon of gluttony.
For example, when you see a greedy person, it is important to know that a greedy person is under the control of the demon of greed.
For example, when you see an angry person, it is important to know that an angry person is under the control of the demon of wrath, that is why 'evil-minded-human-beings' kill a lot of people and commit genocides, they are under the control of the demon of wrath.
For example, when you see a slothful person, it is important to know that a slothful person is under the control of the demon of sloth.
For example, when you see a lustful person, it is important to know that a lustful person is under the control of the demon of lust.
Clean version paragraph: "It's crucial to acknowledge that occasionally, one may come across individuals who seem to be simultaneously inhabited by all seven deadly sins. These individuals have chosen a lifestyle centered around constant sinning, reveling in it as a way of life. They are unrepentant, habitual sinners, forming an intimate and enduring connection with the seven deadly demons. Yes, it may sound astonishing, but these individuals genuinely embrace sinning 24/7, 365 days a year."
Ghetto version paragraph: "Also, it is important to keep in mind that sometimes you encounter people who are inhabited by all seven deadly demons at once, simultaneously because these people love sinning on a daily basis, they chose sinning as a way-of-life, they are all unrepentant usual sinners who love sinning 24/7, 365 days a year, which makes them close very intimate close friends to these seven deadly demons, oh yeah! I kid you not, you should watch the movie "Venom" with actor Tom Hardy and you will see what I'm talking about, in the "Venom" movie, the actor Tom Hardy plays a character that is under the control of a demon."
Here is the IMDB page of the film "Venom", click the link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1270797/
I encourage you to watch the movie "Venom" and see the reality of the world we are living in right now, people are under the control of demons. You can't see them unless you're a virtuous person, only the virtuous people, the pious people have the ability to see these people who are under the control of the seven deadly demons.
Here is a Charlize Theron movie quote, click on the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkoTlu4zhMY
Charlize Theron - "I trust everyone. It's the devil inside them I don't trust." - Stella Bridger, The Italian Job: click on the link: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/e1868c72-6b42-4e76-a1b7-8f00ad27e8ef
So, can I help you use the correct term to explain the phenomenon of these demons taking control of human bodies, here is the term that I use often: "Now You See The Demon".
The demons often show me things they do to humans under their control and they often use the term: "Now You See Me"
Oh, yeah, you heard that right, I see these fuckers all the time, the demons, I call them little fuckers, because they mind fuck human beings all the time. I can see them and have conversations with them, they can't touch me because I'm divinely protected but we can speak and interact, I have a lot of laughter with them, they're hilarious, granted, they are evil but hilarious nonetheless. If you didn't know, now you know.
Me: "Hey, little fuckers! So tell me, what's new today?"
The demons: "Oh, nothing new, same 'ol, same 'ol, these days we are mind fuckin' Bill Gates, the dude is convinced he is a God, and we keep mind fuckin' him, encouraging him to keep thinking he is a God, that is how we lead humans astray, you know how we mind fucked Pharoah in Egypt, same shit, different century. Bill Gates is a dickhead, he thinks he really is God, what a dickhead!! A lot of people from this century behave like the Egyptian Pharoah the tyrant who thought he was a God. Picture this, we are in 2024 and guess how many Pharoahs exist today? Millions of Pharoahs with a "GOD COMPLEX" all around the world, each one of them thinking they are a Deity, a God. Can you imagine the level of dumbfuckery we are dealing with? No wonder you never go outside of your house and you choose the 'in stasis' lifestyle. We can't touch the 'in stasis' population of this earth because they're the virtuous people on this earth, they're divinely protected from the mind fuck of our worldwide demon army."
Did you know? I'm being censored. I'm not allowed to open people's eyes. They want people to remain asleep and be the sheep, the dumb sheep. I can write books about my interactions with Demons but it is too hot for TV, the less they know, the better. We are being censored like the George Orwell book "1984" - Big Brother is watching you, here is the wiki link of the "Thought Police", click the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_Police ---- never forget that I can't speak my mind because we are censored. I could write books and share my knowledge but they will do everything to stop me from speaking my mind and sharing the truth with the world. Now, you understand why I use TUMBLR to communicate my thoughts, it is a safer option.
I know that Oprah Winfrey is very supportive of my career as an independent writer/author/screenwriter. Oprah Winfrey would be the happiest woman in the world if she could only read my books, but I can't share my knowledge of the world of demons, sad to say that I'm not allowed to write books about that knowledge because I will be censored.
I encourage you to have fun with this term: "Now You See Me" and "Now you don't!" and then again "Now You See Me" and "Now you don't!". It's a fun game to play with your friends, you will start noticing things that humans do around the world and you will have fun noticing the demon in them, that's when the term "Now You See Me" and "Now you don't!" becomes a fun game.
Bye ladies, have fun!!
I forgot to share this information with you, read this:
Hey, Natalie and the girls!! Guess who are the most famous "in stasis" individuals in the world? I'll let you take a guess, wait for it, it was the "Seven sleepers", in english read the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sleepers
Les "Sept Dormants d'Éphèse", in the french wiki page: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sept_Dormants_d%27%C3%89ph%C3%A8se
The 'Seven Sleepers' are the most famous 'in stasis' people of all time.
I shared this knowledge for free. Free of charge. You're welcome!!

I've been on the run,
My shadow weighs a ton,
It's starting to make sense to me,
I can't really make you love me,
I can't really make you love me.

OUAT Thoughts Pt.32--Episodes 22-1
I have watched through S4E1; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.
—My feels have been decimated. I should’ve expected a scene wherein Rumple visited Bae’s grave, but I didn’t. OUCH. —It’s pretty cool that Snow and Charming named their son Neal. I wonder how Rumple feels about that.
—Men who wear rings are>>>>>>>>
—I just can’t stand that Dr. Hopper officiated Rumple’s wedding. *weeping happily* *definitely got hit in the feels again* *actually having a pretty good time for once* Is he licensed to do that tho? Also, I adore that he’s the kinda guy who cries at weddings 🥰
—I knew it was a bad idea for Emma to bring that lady back, but I didn’t know it would be this bad! Of all the ladies sentenced to death she could’ve saved, she had to save Marian?
—Look, I love Elsa more than life, but there ain’t no way she’s not gonna hog the spotlight at some point. Her own sister gets trampled to tell her story—which I don’t mind, because Elsa’s story kills me me in the most beautiful way—but these others characters don’t stand a chance.
—It’s so fun that Emma gets to be in the book now!
—I want Hook and Emma to be together, but I’m not entirely sure I have faith in her feelings for him. She’s acting kinda weirdy, so I’m not sure it’s completely legit.
—I’m so sick of Aurora and Philip. I hate them for being in Storybrooke.
—Time will tell whether I end up pleased with the Frozen characters or wish they’d just gone for a fresh Winter’s Child idea. So far, this is much more Frozen than any of the other stories have been their source material.
—I do know that I’m not thrilled with Elsa’s design. I would’ve liked her face to match her original design more—some purple eyeshadow, a darker shade of lipstick, and if not thick, at least full eyelashes. And her dress should’ve gone in the opposite direction; her ice clothes are literally impossible to recreate in a satisfactory manner. Besides, the other princesses don’t wear their signature clothes. (Hmmm…I’m starting to see a trend here.) I really would’ve loved to see a new Elsa dress, maybe reminiscent of the original, but something new and different. Also I’m mad that Anna is just wearing her movie outfit, too.
—But Elsa is still a gorgeous gorgeous girl. So pretty. Stunning.
—Sydney has really just been in the basement this whole time. Poor guy.
—The dancing scene with Belle and Rumple was outstanding. Using the Beauty and the Beast song? Iconic. Finally getting see Belle in a proper princessy dress? No complaints there. RUMPLE IN A FAIRYTALE PRINCE OUTFIT? I’M ABOUT TO COMBUST!!!!
—I’m glad I’m not Regina. Having Robin reaffirm his commitment to his marriage (note: not necessarily to Marian herself, cause he’s lived without her for a while) would’ve just made me fall in love with him more.
—I love the way this show depicts the way people change each other. It’s not just the big, dramatic things, like how Henry changed Regina or how Belle changed Rumple; it’s the little flashbacks that show us how Baelfire shaped Emma’s worldview. People are like different waves in the ocean: we bump into each other all the time, flowing into each other’s lives and experiences, and each time we do we shift each other’s trajectories ever-so-slightly. It’s beautiful.
—Yeah, I’m putting myself off the fence. I do not like the start the Frozen stuff has gotten. It’s too much like the movie.
—Lmao Belle’s last name is literally French.
—Is that the hat from the Sorcerer’s Apprentice? Because good golly I would like to see Yen Sid. Mickey Mouse might be a lil preposterous for this show, but Yen Sid could work.
—It’s kinda funny how all the important stuff just ends up in Rumple’s store. It’s also kinda funny that in all of Storybrooke’s crises, there hasn’t been a single mob raid on that store.
—Anna is serving some young Natalie Portman vibes (specifically, Padme) and I’m low-key here for it. I mean, I have my issues with Padme, but goshdarnit was she ever pretty.
—Am I finally get to know who wrote that book? I’ve been wondering that since the first season.
—The ice trail Elsa left behind while she was walking through Storybrooke had some major slug energy. Lol
—It might be kinda fun if Elsa and Anna’s parents were sort-of badguys in this movie. They were kinda s u s to begin with, might as well just go whole hog on it. Besides, bad parents are a theme in this show, so it wouldn’t even be out of place.
—I hope we get to see Elsa’s coronation. Have I already said I’m dubious on the Frozen stuff? Yes, I have. But…it has capacity to be different. It has the potential to tell Frozen’s story in a somewhat new way. And most importantly, it has the possibility of seeing Elsa in a pretty coronation outfit and crown.

Thor : Love and Thunder *spoilers*
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCH IT!
FIVE THINGS :
1) Natalie Portman being a badass Thor is something I never knew I needed. 2) Christian Bale nailed the role of a terrifying but understandable God Killer. 3) Thor’s Zen mode is something relatable when you’ve gone through shit in life. 4) Valkyrie getting along great with Jane and Korg is just fun to watch. 5) The ending broke me but it also gives a ray of hope.
Unpopular Opinion : 
I realize the overwhelming negative reviews and I am never one to listen to them as everyone has different taste, expectations and preferences of what they look for in a film, but I actually enjoyed it. 
As much as I loved the first Thor movie which to me is still my favorite of them all, Love and Thunder is something entertaining in different way in that it doesn’t leave you bored like *ehem* Eternals.
The only issue I have is Lady Sif being underused, would’ve been awesome seeing her kicking ass alongside Valkyrie and Jane. (Part of me wishes that Loki is there with them like in Ragnarok 😭)
The only part that I feel uncomfortable is Thor being stripped by Zeus and Valkyrie and Jane almost got the same treatment, something which I feel is unnecessary and unsuited to be considered comedy. 
Then again, Zeus in Greek Mythology is wicked to begin with. 
And speaking of Zeus, would’ve been epic and hilarious if they cast Liam Neeson for that role. (He was Zeus in Clash of the Titans). We’ve seen Hercules and now I wonder if we’ll see Kratos in the future. 
BONUS :
Those screaming goats are the death of me. 😂😂😂

Hi, I love ur blog and the way u write sooo .Can I have a Bloody Kiss, with reader and Raphael, were the reader is a serial killer otta business bc she fell in love with him, tho he never knew that,. And just one day she finds Raph an Mickey fighting against some foot soldiers and at a certain point she notice Mickey is cornerd and she decide to intervein, tho she loses it a bit and end up killing all the soldiers. ( BTW the story ends up well, I mena they accept what she did and have done and Raph actually finds it a turn on? ) ( hope this is not 2 much).
Okay I’m digging this but gonna take a few liberties here and there. Hopefully the few modifications are liked.
TW: Blood, Violence, Fighting, Depictions of death
Rated Explicit (18+)
“If I told her that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one”
Tumblr media
Peace.
That was the main feeling.
Finding peace along the way had not been easy. Often it felt like an impossibly fruitless endeavor. You’d die doing what you did, either get killed by one of your hits or subcomb to ailment along the way.
Being a Murder-for-Hire had its perks as morbid as it sounded. You felt like you were living out that one movie with Natalie Portman. You’d seen it, scoffed at how unrealistic it was, especially the tender parts.
You didn’t know what tender was.
That is until you came across Raphael.
The game changed there, this current lifestyle would simply not suffice. Why did he have to go ahead and show you that there was more to this life? Why did he have to go and show you what lay beneath his rough around the edges persona?
You went M.I.A soon after that. You opted for peace in your soul even if your mind did not inhabit it at times. Life with Raphael had been challenging but there was two things you were certain of, one: you were stupidly enough, two: if anybody were to hurt him in any way there would be so much hell to pay.
So this was retirement, yes?
Well you wished it had remained as so. Unfortunately life has a way of testing one, even the secrets you wish to bury so far beneath that they seem dead just happen to resurrect themselves. It happens one night, without thought, without hesitation.
Raphael and Michelangelo are in trouble. You hear the messages from Donnie’s hub while you’re at the Lair, the fear in Mikey’s voice makes your skin breakout in goosebumps. There was no way Leo and Donnie would make it there on time for backup.
You didn’t hesitate.
You took off.
The docks are scary at night but it doesn’t phase you, your adrenaline is pumping already and the sounds of fighting only make your blood pump faste. You briefly contemplate your choices, what way to go about this that perhaps leaves you hidden.
Then you hear Mikey scream. You can only describe it as autopilot. Your feet moved you, yours hands acted and before you can make sense of whatever it is you saw that triggered this mess, you’re looking at bloodied hands.
In truth, what you had found before you was Mikey out numbered by dozen of Foot soldiers and Raph trying to dispose of two larger mutants. Upon your attack they figured the mission had gone south and bailed much to the chagrin of the Foot. Mikey was barely standing, coughing up blood from the beating he had been trying to withstand for Raphael’s sake. Raph in turn wasn’t look much good either, a bloodshot eye, a limp and so much blood you didn’t know if it belonged to him or the others.
Raph approached slowly, seeing a new hooded figure. Friend or foe? He figured the latter, already making for his sai he only stopped dead in his tracks when you pushed your hood away. The combat knife was covered in blood and chunks of flesh, you were sure the same picture of death was painted on you.
“Y-Y/n?” There was disbelief, questions and even a slight relief to his voice. Mikey’s own shocked gaze landed on you from where he was seated, panting from the fight. Where could you even begin? Would he understand? Would he comprehend your past?
You took a step, caution in your frame as you hoped to approach him and hold him.
Out of his eyesight you saw one of the soldiers stir and slowly rise. He had a perfect shot towards Raphael, he wouldn’t see it coming, much less with his current distraction.
“Raph!” You took off towards him just as the soldier lunged. The clatter of bodies connecting, weapons falling assaulting your ears. You rolled around with the soldier, finding your knife and quickly digging it into the bastards chest. A fatal hit. The killing blow.
But anger shook you, it somehow always found it’s ugly little head when it came to you.
So you stabbed.
And stabbed.
And stabbed.
Until your vision cleared, until the notion of Raphael being gone or Mikey being gone left you. You stood on shakey legs, turning towards Raph who was still frozen on the spot.
It’s for you
“They... I had to, they would’ve killed you both” You looked at your bloodied shoes, crimson staining your jeans and a quiet fear that Raphael would probably not understand this.
You only registered Raph’s large hands on your face because they moved you upwards just as he came down, lips first on yours.
You tasted blood, his for sure because the cut on the inside of his mouth bleed steadily, staining your lips and chin. He kissed you with a fever that only spoke of his own fear that maybe this wouldn’t be happening. If you hadn’t come, if you hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t be trying to kiss straight into your soul via your mouth.
You felt like your were backwards, coming out into life the wrong way but with Raph, and his impossibly green eyes and scarred lips, there was no reason to linger on it. The past could remain but it didn’t mean it had to breath.
He pulled back, thumb rubbing your chin of spittle and blood. There was no judgement there, concern yes.
That night when everyone was home safe and tended to, you found yourself in his bed hair wet from your shower. “Hey there” Came Raphael’s soft voice from the door, you scanned him. He was freshly showered and bandaged as he entered and sat on the bed. You climbed into his lap, curling yourself around him and the cool of scales around you.
“It’s not me anymore...” Your voice felt small.
“It’s okay baby girl” He held you close.
“I had to... I had to be like that once upon a time, to survive but then I met you and I just wanted to start from zero with you, wanted to make it right this time” You felt your eyes well up with tears but Raphael’s gentle rocking only served to make you sleepy.
For now, sleep prevailed but thankfully against his hard plastron.

honesty and promise me, co-written with @darkmagyk [read on ao3]
“I’m in love,” Piper tells her when she shows up for another fitting. “Have you seen the new Beyonce video?”
“I heard the song.” Annabeth says, “isn’t that enough?”
“God, your whole play-acting thing is too far if you’re pretending to not like Beyonce.”
“I never said that.” Annabeth holds up her hands, “I like the song. But I did not see the video.”
“Well, when you see it, you’ll be in love too, but I will fight you.”
Piper could be scrappy in a fight. But Annabeth had been a champion fencer in high school.
“Kidding!” Piper says at her look. “There’s plenty of them to go around.” She didn’t even start to drape fabric over Annabeth, pushing her onto a muslin covered couch, and then pulling the video on the TV. She didn’t have one of those voice control devices. Because she was friends with Leo, and he was pretty firm on them being evil. “But I do call dibs on the main guy. The CALVES. The thighs. He’s unreal.”
“That good?” Piper went all ways, though as of late she gravitated towards women more often than not, so this was some high praise indeed. 
“Unreal, I am telling you. Like, the hand of God came down and sculpted him personally out of marble.”
Already in her recent watch history, the thumbnail of the video greets them, the song title splashed across the TV screen, weaving between  a very, very familiar set of legs. 
Like, intimately familiar. 
In something of detached horror, she watches the camera pan up, lovingly lingering on every inch of bare skin, following the muscles of his calves (which were unreal) to his knees then his thighs (which Annabeth had spent almost too much time between now), up his torso and his chest (which she knew made for an excellent pillow) to Percy’s face, set in a firm, hard stare. 
And that fucking blue lipstick again. 
She can’t even focus on Beyonce herself, too distracted by the way her hand traces the length of Percy’s outstretched thigh held in perfect arabesque as she gracefully drapes herself over him, crooning softly into his ear.
Annabeth should do that next time. That’s her spot, after all. 
Tearing her eyes away from the screen even as Piper watches, enraptured, she slips out her phone, sending a quick, furious text. 
annabeth: BEYONCE???????
A minute, then he responds. 
percy: oh lol i didn’t realize that came out today 😁
percy: what’d you think?
annabeth: i think im going to kill you later
“Just look at him,” Piper says, pausing on Percy’s form, his arms outstretched, fingers placed delicately around a bar. “I mean--look at him!”
“Yeah,” she chuckles, maybe a little uneasy. “He’s alright I guess.”
Incredulous, Piper swivels her head. “Alright? Alright? Do you need your eyes checked?”
She just shrugs. 
Why is she being so weird about this? It’s just Piper. She’s trained to find symmetry and beauty in bodies. They’ve happily shared crushes and fixations plenty of times before, so why is Annabeth being so weird about Percy? It’s not like they’re… you know… dating or anything. Just hooking up a bit. 
Piper squints at her, then shrugs herself. “Fine. I don’t have time to get an answer out of you anyway. Come on.”
“Speaking of time,” Annabeth says, following Piper back into the kitchen studio, “I have to head out by 6:30.”
“Oh yeah?” Piper’s head is buried in her belt box, searching for the perfect accent. “What for?”
“I’ve got a show to catch.”
“Kind of early,” she says, pulling out something thin and silver. “Don’t you usually meet Thalia at the ass crack of midnight?”
“Well I kind of want to eat first.”
“Okay.” She cinches the belt around her waist, tight. “Then you’re going to have to help me with this skirt.”
***
Hands aching from hours of macrame, Annabeth walks up to the box office window at the Koch Theater at 7:46, having a handful of second thoughts. 
Old, uppity white couples keep shooting her some particularly intense passive aggressive glares, some of them even venturing into actually aggressive territory, which usually wouldn’t even register on her very short list of things to care about, except that she is feeling woefully out of place. The lady in front of her has ten pounds of diamonds hanging off of each old, wrinkly ear, and the best Annabeth could do was fish out her least-ripped pair of jeans, pairing it with one of her nicer black shirts, the sleeves long enough to cover most of her tattoos. The macrame kept her longer than she had meant, so she didn’t have time to change before dinner, but fuck it, right?
She did also take out most of her face jewelry on the way. But she left the nose stud, obviously. And the tongue piercing. And the industrial, because Percy really likes those, so she doesn’t feel that bad about it. And he hadn’t even told her about this until after she had already given herself the half-undercut, so it’s not like she could do anything about that either.
“Can I help you?” At least this box office worker isn’t giving her the stink-eye. 
“I’m here to pick up a ticket? Should be under ‘Jackson.’” He’d offered to leave it under her name, but this was safer. She doesn’t think her mom is a big ballet person, but she isn’t about to risk it, either.
She slides the ticket towards Annabeth beneath the glass plane. “Enjoy the show,” she says, with a quirk of her mouth that is surprisingly sincere for someone in customer service. 
She’s pretty sure she’d enjoy the show more if she weren’t panicking thinking about getting dirt on their fancy carpets. Her boots are clean, of course, and she doesn’t really care, but she doesn’t want to, like, embarrass Percy or whatever. She’d asked him if she should dress up, but he’d assured her otherwise. “No one’s going to care, I promise,” he’d told her the night before, her lounging in his bed while he did some pushups. “And if anyone says something, let me know and we can kick their ass after the show together.”
“Great. Guess I don’t have to break out the Chanel, then.”
He’d paused, frowned, then huffed a laugh, shaking his head. Like the idea of Annabeth wearing Chanel was hilarious. Like what she’s wearing tonight really is the best that she can do.
Self-consciousness isn’t really a feeling that Annabeth has anymore. She’s spent so many years chafing against expectations, shucking them off when she inevitably failed to meet them, desperate for a place, a crowd where she could just be. In her scene, she doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone, and when Percy is out with her, he doesn’t need any convincing. He likes her. He likes her a lot, she thinks. He likes her enough to let himself be dragged out to every shitty dive bar and shittier rock show in New York City, laughing and cheering and holding her close the whole time. He likes her enough to cart her to his apartment at 4 AM, inevitably waking Nico up from his undead slumber, and leave her with nothing but a glass of water and a kiss on the forehead. And she likes him, too--a lot. Annabeth likes Percy enough to ditch her band t-shirts for a night and track mud on the carpet of the Koch Theater and willingly sit through a performance of fucking Swan goddamn Lake of all things, and it’s only a little scary how much she is willing to do for him after only a few months of fucking him. Because this really isn’t her scene, not anymore. 
The weight of everyone’s stares bears down on her, threatening to crush her beneath them, a feeling she was so sure she’d left behind. 
At least Percy had been thoughtful enough to get her a ticket out of the way in the back of one of the balcony sections. It’s a bit of a hike, but the audience members aren’t dressed quite as nicely as the ones downstairs, and she feels like she can breathe a little easier.
She pulls out her phone, checking her text messages on instinct. There’s a selfie from Percy in his stage makeup (and she’s not going to lie… he looks fucking pretty), with his standard accompanying three blue heart emojis. She can’t help it, her heart skips a beat and she can’t help but smile, even as she rolls her eyes. She’s just about to send him something appropriately sarcastic when another text notification slides in. It’s from her father. 
Hi Annabeth… I was talking to a friend in Boston who said he's looking for a new 
prospective in his architecture firm. Passed your information along. 
Love you, dear
She swipes it away. Deletes the whole text conversation, for good measure. 
Forget about him. This night is about Percy.
A few minutes later, so engrossed in Percy’s program bio (it’s about all she can focus on right now), she doesn’t even notice everyone around her leaning forward in breathless anticipation, until the warm, honey-like sound of the oboe draws her head up. 
Roughly two minutes in, she’s really wishing she had attempted the synopsis. The extent of her knowledge of Swan Lake is a few half-remembered orchestra rehearsals in her teens and reading the Wikipedia article on that Natalie Portman movie a few months ago, and she definitely doesn’t recall there being anything about any Men-in-Tights looking motherfuckers prancing around. They’re sort of bobbing, back and forth, elegantly stepping from one side of the stage to another. Even from back here, she can see the delicate, precise placement of their hands, fingers curved just so, moving through space as though they aren’t bound by the laws of physics.
The fingers, she remembers. She could never get the hang of the fingers. Her old ballet teacher had given up on them after a week, and that had been the beginning of the end for that particular extracurricular. 
Now her fingers tap on her jeans, impatient, far faster than the easy going music on stage. She’s just about to give in to the millennial instinct and pull out her phone, maybe play a round of sudoku, when the dancers motion as one to the back corner, and Percy comes stepping out. His hair is perfectly slicked back, gelled down, any hint of curl beaten into submission, and his smile is small, but white, gleaming against the tanned brown of his skin. She can’t help but smile back, like he could somehow see her. Finally, she thinks, relaxing a little more into her seat. Something to watch.
On his off days, her off days, any day when she would spent the night at his (always at his, never at hers) and wake up wrapped in his comforter and the smell of seawater, she would take the blanket with her and steal into his living room, curl up on his couch with her feet tucked under her legs, and watch him dance. She’s seen him drill these sequences over, and over, and over again, counting furious sequences of sixes and eights beneath his breath in duet with the thuds of his feet on his floor. Most times he would notice her and shoot her a grin, granting her permission to observe the artist at work. Sometimes, though, he would be so caught up in his body, the shifting of his feet and the music in his head, that it was like he couldn’t see her at all. Seemingly alone, he would dance, uninhibited, and she would be struck by a feeling that she usually reserves for specific monuments. Watching Percy dance in his apartment, in his brown tights and black tank top, lost in his own world, is like looking at pictures of the Gateway Arch, or the Hoover Dam, or the Parthenon.
She searches for that feeling now, leaning forward in her seat, eyes hungrily raving his form, but she just doesn’t see it. It’s… honestly, it’s a little boring. She won’t lie. He had warned her it would be something of a slow start, but this isn’t exactly an ADHD friendly medium, and she is losing her patience, just a bit. He’s so reserved, like he’s holding something close to his chest, impersonal as he takes the hands of the female dancers and lets them twirl around him. 
Personally, Annabeth thinks that he looks kind of lost. Maybe he’s just nervous--it’s a big role and he’s a young guy. But he had seemed fine when he’d kissed her goodbye just after lunch. 
The court jester is killing it though. Feeling just the slightest bit guilty, she lets her eyes drift over to him, deciding to watch him for a while instead.
On some level, she does appreciate the skill on display here. Percy can raise his back leg in a perfect ninety degree angle that would make her architecture professors sweat. The girls drift back and forth across the stage on the tips of their toes, weightless and ethereal. It’s mesmerizing, and she lets herself be mesmerized.
Time must slip away from her, because she blinks and all of a sudden the stage has gone from sunny yellow to cool blue, the crowds of dancers having vanished. He is alone on stage. Percy kneels in a deep lunge that makes her thighs ache just looking at him (and for… other reasons), his arms and his attention pointed to the wings, with a… Annabeth squints. When the hell did he get a crossbow?
But everything is swept to the sides when the White Swan tiptoes her way on stage, impossibly graceful, and all of a sudden, Annabeth gets it. 
It feels a little cliche to say, but the way that woman moves on the floor really does remind her of those old, vintage jewelry boxes, suspended in animation, moved by some otherworldly force. It’s amazing. It’s a little terrifying. Sublime is the word that comes to mind as Annabeth watches her. Her arms move with fluidity, perfect curves, her fingers trailing behind her like wings. 
And Percy is just as mesmerized as Annabeth is. As the audience is. 
A few things hit her, in rapid succession. First, that Percy is, actually, a really good actor. His reticence before--he’d been playing a character. He’d been playing aloof and reserved and unmoored, because Percy--Siegfried--whatever--has been waiting his whole life for something to fulfill him, until this singular moment, the moment he laid eyes on this beautiful creature. Second, that she doesn’t need words to understand what’s going on. It’s all there, in every look and gesture and step, as the two characters circle each other, slowly but irrevocably falling in love. And third, that she recognizes the look on his face. It’s the look that Percy gives her when she has been talking for too long and he can’t get a word in edgewise, or when she screams along to the god awful underground bands, three beers in and missing every single fuck she’d ever had, or when she wakes up after him to Percy’s arms around her waist, her hair in his mouth and her head resting against his collarbone. She recognizes it, because that’s the look that Siegfried has for Odette. Because that’s the look that Percy has for Annabeth. Because he loves her.
And fourth, that that doesn’t make her as happy as she wishes it would. 
There’s a cold pit in her stomach for the rest of the show, a turning screw that twists in deeper, minute by minute, with every turn of the dancers. She wastes the next hour trying to puzzle this out, not even pretending to watch the drama unfolding on stage, because it makes no goddamn sense. (Her situation, not the ballet--she managed to skim the synopsis during intermission, her foot tapping incessantly against the blessedly empty seat in front of her.) Things are great between them. It’s been a heady, intoxicating four months, full of bubbles and butterflies, sweet, soft mornings, and some really, really phenomenal sex. This should make her happy. This should put her over the fucking moon, and she cannot, for the life of her, figure out why it doesn’t.
The prima ballerina comes back out as the Black Swan, just as poised and precise as her counterpart, but she’s a great actress as well, because there is something undeniably different about her. Her arms move like rubber, like joints are just an afterthought, wrapping themselves around Percy’s neck and shoulders. She misdirects his attention, drawing his eyes to her wrists, her clavicle, the curve of a leg or the point of her toe. Seducing him. Tricking him. 
Like Annabeth. 
Because try as she might to run from it, Annabeth isn’t who she says she is. She wants so desperately to be this fuck-the-rules, fight-the-power, punk rock princess that she took every part of her that didn’t fit that image and tried to rip it out of her, bloody and struggling. Her trust fund, her two (two!) Harvard degrees, her enriched childhood and her bright and shining future; she took it all out back and shot it, and prayed that would be the end of it. She’s a phony, just like that goddamn Black Swan. Percy is in love with a phony. 
Her sweet, wonderful, devastatingly kind and handsome Percy--she tricked him and made him fall in love with a mishmash of archetypes and aesthetics, distracting him with nose piercings and ripped t-shirts and ugly, deafening noise. 
She’s not surprised that she’s crying when the curtain falls. She’d never known that Siegfried and Odette both died at the end. 
When the cast reunites for curtain call, Percy is given a standing ovation, and Annabeth enthusiastically joins in, wiping the tears from her eyes, smearing her makeup. 
She doesn’t wait for him at the stage door, but sits on the steps of the theater, plucking at her sleeves, aching for a drink and wishing she had had the presence of mind to wear something a little nicer. Percy finds her there almost an hour after the show ended. “Hey.”
“Hey.”
In the dark of night, illuminated only by streetlamps, she can’t read his face--but she can read exhaustion, in every part of his body. “I was waiting for you by the stage door.”
Something in her stomach goes cold. “I… wasn’t sure if I was allowed,” she offers, weakly. 
He smiles, a light in the dark. “Of course you’re allowed,” he says, offering her a hand. “Shall we?”
She knows what will happen next. She’ll take his hand, and they’ll walk to the subway together, fingers intertwined. They’ll get on the 1 train headed north, and Percy will let her rest her head against him, tilting his head back against the window, eyes closed, almost asleep. The doorman will nod at them as they walk up to Nico’s apartment, barely batting an eye at his sweats and her ripped jeans, the two of them sticking out like a sore thumb in a sea of impeccably dressed rich New Yorkers. Nico will wave at them distractedly from his office, gulping down his sixth coffee of the night, and they’ll tiptoe into his room, falling asleep in each other’s arms with little more than a good night kiss. 
Which, of course, is exactly what does end up happening.
Almost. 
Annabeth crawls on top of him in his bed, kissing him soft and senseless. She doesn’t know where he’s getting this energy from, but she is not complaining as he slips up inside of her, the two of them rocking each other gently to orgasm, their foreheads pressed together. Shuddering as he comes, he captures her mouth in another kiss, pouring every ounce of love he has in him into her.
A waste, honestly. 
But as far as goodbye sex, it’s pretty damn great. 
She needs to end this, before either of them get hurt. It’s the least of what he deserves, after all. To put yourself out there, to offer yourself up like that, that might be the bravest thing Annabeth’s ever heard of, and surely, Annabeth can find the courage to do what needs to be done.
