Wish me luck guys I’m gonna go reread TSC and TGR and take a shot every time Jeremy deflects talking about his personal issues with “Now’s not the time” “Don’t worry” “Can we talk about it later?” only to never, in fact, talk about it later

Thought occurred. Consider it my imagined happy ending for Jean. Goodness knows he needs one.

Somewhere along the line Jean is trying to get Laila and Cat to do a drill with him, and he gets them to join in with training by bribing them with Boba tea.

As in Jean actually trying Boba tea. (If they finally win the league - so they’d better do the extra training.)

The girls look at him like he’s grown an extra head and sprint off to tell the entire team.

They’re all unreasonably delighted and invested because of course they are. Everyone is now going to extra training so they can watch Jean try Boba tea for the first time. Jean is very confused because of course he is. Why is him drinking tea this motivating? Jeremy thinks this is the best thing that’s happened to his team since shrinking his game day roster for the sake of honour and fair play.

And of course they win. And they’re all ecstatic. And Jean has almost forgotten that promise he made months ago. The team hasn’t. Lalia definitely hasn’t. And they’re in the middle of the awards ceremony when she tells him. “Tea. Tomorrow. Remember? You’re gonna love it! ” . And Jean frowns. And then sighs. Because he did promise and they did win and he acquiesces and nods.

Sometime in the next 24hrs the entire team is crammed into the lofts, and Lalia is handing Jean a cup. Everyone knows Jean would not in a million years be so much as touching that stuff on a normal day. But it’s not a normal day. They’ve finally won. And Jean promised.

He drinks. And oh but they’ve got him peach flavour, and then the bubbles burst in his mouth and everything is fruit and fireworks all at once somehow and those brown eyes bright with delight as they watch the surprise on Jean’ face.

“So?” Lalia will press him after he’s tried just that first taste. She’s been waiting long enough. “What do you think?”

“I think it is good that we won this year”

And Jeremy understands. He knows that Jean is glad he got to discover this, that he doesn’t just like it, he loves it. And hates it a little bit too because this is so good it’s going to throw off the whole nutrition plan and ruin any chance of them winning ever again. And Jean is as close as he gets to not caring - because he takes another sip. Jeremy throws his head back and laughs “That good?”

And Jean makes sure he meets his eyes before he smiles at him “That good”

And the entire team cheers. Jabberwocky is howling along to join in. And the lofts is actually a home, then, full of happiness and people that just want to be happy with each other.

And Jean updates his list.

Evening breeze. Rainbows. Open Roads. Friends. Fathers. Boba tea. Jeremy’s laughter. Home.

It's really depressing to watch your circle of allies get smaller and smaller and smaller as you realize just how many people are willing to cut you off and throw you under the bus if they think doing so might help them save themselves.

Why is Hera so hostile to Leto in a manner that she isn't with the other lovers of Zeus? I can't think of any other woman who was targeted so much by Hera. One could say she didn't want Leto to give birth because her children would be a competition to Hera's children, but why bother her even after she had already given birth? Is it because Leto herself is also a threat to Hera?

Sort of I guess?

I don't think Leto would ever be a threat to Hera's role as the queen of the gods but Hera might see her as a competitor for Zeus' affection, even though I think Zeus would not marry someone else and replace Hera.

The twins are definitely a big reason why Hera begrudged Leto - it is outright stated in the Callimachus Hymn to Delos that the reason Hera especially targeted Leto was because she was told that Apollo would be dearer to Zeus than Ares is. Zeus is very proud of Artemis as well. As he himself puts it, he doesn't mind facing Hera's wrath for children like her.

But the continued hatred even after the birth of the twins (like sending Tityus to rape Leto) could have been for different reasons. This wasn't like one of those affairs Zeus would have with mortal women where he'd leave them behind once the child is conceived. Neither could Hera, despite her many attempts, get rid of Leto like she did with the other lovers. Not only did Leto give Zeus children that he loves dearly, she also stayed on Olympus despite Hera's hatred towards her (which isn't directed to any of Zeus' other divine mistresses, btw). It might have also been because Leto herself is dear to Zeus, if the way she's treated on Olympus is any proof. In the Homeric hymn to Apollo, Leto stands next to Zeus - in the Olympian assembly - to welcome their son. Hera is completely absent from the scene, as if Leto had taken her place even if temporarily. Now you could say this is because Apollo himself is such a powerful and glorious son in a way that no other son of Zeus is, so of course Leto would get such an honor (the hymn itself presents it this way).

But here's another instance - in the Iliad, when Hera goes to seduce Zeus, he is obviously very smitten but before getting into the action, he lists some of his lovers (I believe these were his favorite lovers, as a lot of others are not mentioned):

"for never has such desire for goddess or mortal woman so gripped and overwhelmed my heart, not even when I was seized by love for Ixion’s wife, who gave birth to Peirithous the gods’ rival in wisdom; or for Acrisius’ daughter, slim-ankled Danaë, who bore Perseus, greatest of warriors; or for the far-famed daughter of Phoenix, who gave me Minos and godlike Rhadamanthus; or for Semele mother of Dionysus, who brings men joy; or for Alcmene at Thebes, whose son was lion-hearted Heracles; or for Demeter of the lovely tresses; or for glorious Leto; or even for you yourself, as this love and sweet desire for you grips me now.’ (Book 14, trans. A. T. Murray)

Notice how when talking about most of them, he also mentions the children they bore to him but when Demeter and Leto are mentioned, he doesn't bring up their children at all despite them being some of the most accomplished kids of his. What's more, he takes Leto's name just before Hera's. I mean, this is an interpretation but it looks like not only did Zeus love Leto the most out of all his mistresses - giving her a place second to that of his wife, but also his love for her wasn't necessarily only because she gave him two amazing children.

Nonnus does something similar in the Dionysiaca (but this time Zeus is enamored with Persephone instead of Hera) but more notably, when Typhoeus attacks Olympus and Zeus is discouraged, Nike takes the form of Leto to encourage him and it's pretty telling of what Leto meant to Zeus.

One interesting similarity between Hera and Leto is that they both had a giant try to rape them. Porphyrion tried to violate Hera (Zeus inspired him to do this) and Tityus tried to violate Leto (upon Hera's order). Though both of them were killed, only Tityus got an eternal punishment in Tartarus of having his liver/heart eaten out by vultures so Zeus seems to have taken a greater offense at Tityus trying to assault Leto.

Again, I don't think Zeus would ever take anyone other than Hera as his permanent wife - she is irreplaceable to him. There's an entire myth about Hera leaving him and Zeus winning her back. Their relationship is obviously complex and involves all kinds of emotions including love and hate. But Leto is continually dear to him as well and that's something Hera can't do much about.

I just remember how Nesta says, in Hofas, that Feyre is the perfect mother and how Bryce says that no one is.

I can't help, but feel like that is the truth and not because she doesn't love Nyx, but because I'm sure Feyre is struggling with a newborn - WHO HAS WINGS! - but I'm sure she isn't letting anyone truly see how she feels or how she is (not) holding up.

I remember her in Acotar, how she did take the role of the parent (more the role of the father, than the mother) and her wanting to be free from the burden of taking care of her family - her sisters manly - and now... she's in her 20s, immortal and already a mother.

She almost died in childbirth. She was kept in the shadow of her own pregnancy. She was left, in a way, alone.

She is, alone. Deep down she's not happy.

Idk what I really want to say with this post, is just that... She should've had the time to live. To taste the freedom she so much wanted before having another delicate life to protect and take care of. To put first before herself.

Now she's bound to her mate, if he dies, she dies, and vice-versa. She chose, selfishly, to have a kid, knowing they could leave him alone (yes, he would have the IC, but both Feyre and Rhysand know how it is losing their parents - especially their mother! - and still went: yes!) and she still doesn't know anything about her powers, her new life and about Prythian.

Her fear was that no one would remember her, her legacy. I'm sure Prythian will never forget. Nor the Spring Court, the Summer Court, the Autumn Court, thanks to what she did/helped do.

Her legacy isn't great, as of now. But it will be remembered.

And... for the comments I saw so many people say: they are immortal fae, in a moment of peace, there truly was NO RUSH in having a kid, especially knowing the possible risks (that Rhysand not even once said) for Feyre. They made a death pact, having kids should have been the last thing on their mind at the moment.

pssst friendly reminder that the only canon label we have for Neil's sexuality is demi (aspec) and that he's otherwise unlabeled. hc what you want but stop trying to push it as canon or putting it over his only canon label.

i'm tired of seeing y'all erase aspecness as a valid sexuality and always feeling the need to pair it with another identity as if aspec people aren't valid just identifying as aspec and also erasing us from the conversation entirely
