For real, Iā€™ve never read a single headcanon for Percyā€™s future college degree and career that felt right. And then I thought of this and it feels SO right. I canā€™t imagine him feeling fulfilled in something that isnā€™t trying to better the worldā€” the gods might be lazy, but if theyā€™re not gonna get it together and fix society, then Percy Jackson will do it himself
ā€œPercy Jackson would be a marine biologistā€ ā€œno heā€™d be a firemanā€ ā€œno heā€™d drop out of schoolā€ ā€œno heā€™dā€”ā€œ
Everyone be quiet that man got his degree in social work and specializes in advocating for children with learning disabilities and rough home lives while scoping out potential demigods. Heā€™s not gonna let any child, whether theyā€™re mortal and dealing with a Gabe or half-god and dealing with monsters, feel like he did.
#morgan murmurs#and Annabeth would be so proud of him šŸ˜­#she knows heā€™s saved kids from being homeless who might have run away like she did#idk I just feel like heā€™s be bored of being an Olympic swimmer#marine biologyā€¦ā€¦ itā€™s a branch of stem I just donā€™t see him doing#Percy is really smart but biology is HARD and the prereqs aloneā€¦.#that guy would hate his classes so fast#it doesnā€™t matter even if he COULD know everything about fish off the top of his head#because all the other classes you have to take for those kind of degrees are harrowing#(I know because Iā€™m getting married to a biology major)#plus like#yeah the ocean is in his blood#but when has Percy Jackson ever expressed a passion for fish#mostly heā€™s like ā€˜yeah Iā€™m in the ocean sometimes and all the fish staring at me and talking to me is kind of annoyingā€™#ā€˜they always want stuffā€™#Percy would be a great stay at home dad but I think heā€™d really want to have something fulfilling to do before then#I feel like percabeth wouldnā€™t have kids until theyā€™re like 30#and I think he wouldnā€™t want to drop out of school#he wants to make Annabeth proud#and sheā€™d be proud of him even if he didnā€™t get a degree but#Percy would want to make sure that he can support Annabeth while she gets her Masters#he wants to make sure she doesnā€™t feel the pressure of being responsible for them both#idk I just have a LOT OF FEELING ABOUT THIS OKAY

EPISODE 3 BABYYYY
DIDNT THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE TO TOP THE PREMIER EPISODES BOY WAS I WRONG
- Percy choosing Annabeth to be on the quest because he was so scared one of his friends would betray him so he chose someone he ā€œcanā€™t standā€ oooooooohhhhh this is cinema
- The Oracle taking the form of Gabe????? Such an interesting choice lmao (completely forgot this happened in the book too till I watched it again)
- Annabeth and Percy not getting along for even a second my god we are in for the best Enemies to Friends to Lovers (but we already knew that)
- Annabeth not being able to read the candy and choosing all of them ughhhhhhhh my little dyslexic baby that was such a good way to show it
- Annabeth confronting the furies? Sheā€™s so brave I could never
- Groverā€™s friendshsip/ problem solving song šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ this sweet poor baby is so stressed keeping the team together
- MEDUSAAAA
- love what they changed about Medusaā€™s story and gave us more reasons to understand a certain someoneā€™s anger at the gods and betrayal at the end of the season
- Annabeth using her hat to shield medusas eyes was GENIUS holy fuck what a fucking play oh my god
- Percy using the song against Grover omfg I love them
- They truly could not have chosen a better cast for our main trio Iā€™m so fucking proud of them omfg
- The contrast of me screaming ā€œLETS GOOOOOOOā€ and my friends screaming in pure anguish when Lin Manuel Miranda showed up at the end (I like being a goofy scamp)
Even better than the first 2 episodes, didnā€™t even know that would be possible Iā€™m so fucking happy rn this is everything Iā€™ve ever wanted and more

What would the HOO boys wear? -Fashion analysis (Percy, Jason and Leo)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PERCY JACKSON- the living embodiment of the skater boy aesthetic. Hes obsessed with Blue and white clothing tbh, I feel like Percy's not a fan of jackets of any kind. He loves hoodies, and oversized half sleeved shirts. He loves jeans of any kind, but is high on denim shorts. Annabeth also influenced him into loving caps ;) he's also like a huge fan of shirts that say "New York". Hes a proud New Yorker y'all. Loves tennis shoes, blue ones to be more specific. Overall very chill and casual style.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
JASON GRACE- Jason is canonically very put together and neat, he hates being under dressed,maybe it's the Roman in him, idk. I feel like he'd be the living embodiment of the "clean girl" aesthetic but make it clean boy lol. Has this weird obsession with oversized full/half sleeved striped shirts. So you can expect stripes to take up half his closet, his colour palette is purple, light blue and white. He also has this weird thing where he only likes wearing light blue jeans because, according to him, it matches his eyes. It's true though, light blue jeans just make his eyes pop and it looks SO good. Likes soft hoodies, and contrary to Percy, Jason loves jackets. Jason, also loves gold jewellery, paired up with his purple clothing, it reminds him of his camp Jupiter attire. Overall he's very elegant and neat tbh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
LEO VALDEZ- ah yes, Leo's fashion is probably the most childlike and authentic. He LOVES overalls sm, and is a sucker for clothing with corny quotes on them. Leo intentionally wears white shirts a lot despite knowing that it would get dirty, so half his white shirts would be covered in black grease, but he loves wearing them anyway. Leo, in my opinion, is not a huge fan of blue denim, he prefers cream or brown hue jeans more. Leo also loves checkered/striped baggy pants, but it makes him look even shorter than he actually looks lmao šŸ˜­
tumblr isn't letting me insert more images smh, so Nico, Frank and Will are in the next part

Your favorite and least favorite things about ror and pjo?
PJO
favorite things:
pretty much the entirety of the first series!
i love how rick was able to perfectly (imo) entertwine the ancient greek world with the modern world
i especially love how most of percy's journey was similar to the ancient greek heroes' journeys in the myths
THE FACT THAT PERCY REJECTED GODHOOD TO TRY AND GIVE DEMIGODS AND MINOR GODS A BETTER LIFE HE'S SO SWEET I LOVE HIM OMG
no seriously, i LOVE how instead of being selfish and becoming a god, he tried to actually fix the root of the problem so no other child would ever go through the same things his generation of demigods went through THATS HOW YOU END AN OPPRESSIVE REGIME, I'M PROUD OF YOU PERCY
everything about the last olympian. he writes war and battle SO well, my heart was literally pounding throughout the whole book!!!
the character deaths.... they gutted me, but they were executed so well
least favorite things:
the gods weren't very similar to the mythical counterpart.... like how pjo!poseidon was a chill, mostly nice guy whereas in the myths he was a rapist psycho.... and how pjo!ares was implied to be abusive towards clarisse whereas in the myths ares respects women and killed his daughter's rapist (tho i get why he couldn't do that since this is a kid's book)
the entirety of heroes of olympus šŸ’€
no seriously, i didn't like any of it
the lost hero and the son of neptune were okay, but after that things started getting messy. probably because of how many main characters he had to write about
the plot was very very.... weird??? especially around the part where they were looking for the physician's cure. a side quest took up a major chunk of the book
BLOOD OF OLYMPUS WAS SHITTY OMG
the final battle against gaea was so lame!!!! the seven weren't even fighting here, only a few of them were!!! the fact that piper was able to put her to sleep too even though rick literally wrote a list of ways charmspeak would fail AND GAEA CHECKED EVERY ONE OF THEM???? yet piper succeeded anyway???
no seriously, i was expecting the last olympian kinda shit in blood of olympus, but i got NOTHING
rick's shitty view of 'feminism' wasn't feminism at all, it was more misandry (the hunt) and piper ESPECIALLY had some glaring internalized misogyny
i get he was trying to make her a feminist icon, but he really failed with piper. piper clearly hated femininity and looked down feminine girls AND SHE WAS PROVEN RIGHT because 99% of her enemies (major or minor) were girls that were comfortable with their femininity and rick had her triumph over them every time
rick's favoritism over piper. her charmspeak worked on opponents that it shouldn't have worked on (gaea and khione), every other female character suddenly gets downgraded whenever she's around (drew, aphrodite, annabeth, the entire fucking aphrodite cabin, etc), none of her actual flaws were called out (this is mostly because rick never intended for her internalized misogyny and obsessiveness to be her flaws, they were created by accident and noticed by the readers).... and you get the point
ROR
favorite things:
the character designs are sooooo šŸ¤¤
99% of the characters have 8 pack abs OR MORE
THE GORE!!!! WOOHOO I LOVE THE VIOLENCE (in the manga at least.... the anime censored it smh šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø)
there isn't really much worldbuilding yet but i love what we've been given so far!!!!
the fact that the mangaka was able to create a universe where ALL the gods of ALL the pantheons are in it and it doesn't look like a hot mess??? much respect!
THE FACT THAT FAMOUS HUMANS ARE FIGHTING TOO!!!
THE MATCHUPS ARE AMAZING LIKE IMAGINE BEING TOLD NIKOLA TESLA WAS FIGHTING THE DEVIL
the death scenes!!! yes they're tragic, but they're so well done!!!! the way lu bu's men rallied up to join him in niflhel, the way every human grieved when adam, their father, died, how tesla's last words were to give hope to humanity, I LOVED IT ALL šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
least favorite things:
i really need them to explain wtf a demigod is cuz i get how humans are considered demigods (they're humans with the strength of a god) BUT I REALLY NEED AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THE VALKYRIES ARE CONSIDERED DEMIGODS šŸ’€
the gods were.... kinda underwhelming. they seemed more like superhumans than actual gods. poseidon didn't use his water powers? hades didn't summon the dead? no lightning from zeus? most of the gods were fighting physically and not using their actual powers which was kinda...... meh
the list of fighters for both humans and gods.... the gods literally have 5 greeks and 3 norse gods whereas the humans have 4 japanese fighters šŸ«¤ i'd like a lil more diversity
the way the fight scenes are animated in the anime..... they are so bad..... like SO bad šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ my jaw dropped when i watched them
the censoring of the violence and gore in the anime šŸ˜”

EPISODE 5ā€¦ā€¦..šŸ„ŗ
Right off the bat, i love the idea of percyā€™s forehead peeking out of the water, like the mysterious mermaid he is
Annabeth was the best part of the episode as always
Thought they were gonna talk more about thalia percy parallels grover just looked a lil tad distressed and that was it but whatever
Percy and his lil ā€˜hiā€™s will never stop being funny
the usual ā€œi thought annabeth was gonna punch me but she was actually nice to me guys who wouldā€™ve thought someone would be happy to see meā€ narrative still shining through WITH THE HUG PLS CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW SWEET THE HUG WAS
groverā€™s so confused like ā€œliterally an hour ago you guys hated each otherā€¦.am i missing out on some plot pointā€
dude was ā€˜looking for new tickets in the st. Louis arch as if they were going to be on the floor lying somewherešŸ’€
Percyā€™s face when he addresses grover after the hug, heā€™s so proud someone actually hugged him šŸ„¹his face is just like ā€œhey grover look SHEā€™S HUGGING MEšŸ„ŗā€
Can I just say the writing for percy is perfect
like heā€™s so 50% there like heā€™s so good at communicating and asking whatā€™s wrong and trying to understand the other personā€™s feelings (sally jacksonā€™s son for you) but at the same time he has NEVER had a friend before so he ends up embarrassing himself šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­
ā€im pretty sure thatā€™s what friends doā€ ā€œā€¦.at least i think thatā€™s what they doā€ pls šŸ˜­
groverā€™s face too help youā€™re already tired of being third wheel???oh honey this is THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST BOOK get comfortable
not their lil heads popping out and going back in. Peak comedy right there
Seriously adam did reallyyyyyy good as ares. Theres no one else i can imagine anymore as ares. The delicateness of his ā€˜good moodā€™ as if it is gonna break any second, the rage and fury but at the same time being extremely funny???
the diner looks so cosy itā€™s so cute
was kinda missing some percy rage in this but it comes out at the last so its fine
The real reason for grover to be so okay staying back is not the strategy of getting answers out of ares but because of how tired he was of taking care of annabeth and percy.
I feel like they should be showing luke more (later on they will, i have faith) im already forgetting about him it wont hit as hard if i dont remember him
Percy ā€œive not seen many movies since im brokeā€ jackson x annabeth ā€œive never seen a movie since i live in a magical campā€ chase
but the fact that annabethā€™s never seen a movie kinda erases the fact that later on in hoo, annabeth talks about watching cheesy old romance movies with her father which kinda contributes to their dynamic but
the fact that percy would probably be the first one to take her to the movies makes me not care
honestly tho IM REALLY REALLY HOPING THAT THEIR FIRST MOVIE WONT BE THE ONE AT THE START OF BOTL Iā€™d rage as much as annabeth when i see percy with rachel (not that im a rachel hater, im a circumstances hater)
grover is such a good therapist, like he is THE EMPATH. He tripped the god of war into talking about his life this is a grover appreciation post
annabeth zoning out with fascination at the mechanics and also i love the ā€œpercy being done with annabethā€ representation
i cant see anything so nothing to say here
SEAWEED BRAIN THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT IN PJOTV HISTORY THE FIRST SEAWEED-
grover manipulating ares through his emotions>>>>>
also ares roasting athena
Percy sacrificing himself AGAIN like the depressed kid he is
annabeth immediately reassuring percy that she would save his mom the character developmentttttttt from being inconsiderate about percy losing his mom to promising that she would save the lady EVEN THOUGH SHE BARELY KNEW HER
This is giving me too many feelings guys the lady sheā€™s promising to save is the lady who will be the best mother figure who will singlehandedly heal her mommy issues AND BECOME HER MOTHER IN LAW
ā€œIts warmā€ i thought this was gonna be the last thing he says before whatever was gonna happen to him so i was like lol famous last words
but fr tho the intenseness of annabeth crying for percy to GET UP and percyā€™s just fading out of the world trying not to cry trying to reassure annabeth that heā€™s okay IN WHAT WOULD BE HIS LAST FEW WORDS, literally everything he does is for someone else even in his dying moments its just magelhiā€gdsjihoawerhoudfjls
especially with the ā€œim notā€¦..ā€ [okay] lol we have always known that percy, it aint a big surprise
i got to applaud leah for how she portrayed annabethā€™s brain chemistry altering every minute with percy and how that influenced her speech with hephaestus
i cant believe thats leoā€™s dad hes giving santa claus i do like him tho
Now that i think about it the percabeth hug should have been after percy comes back to life not after the louis arch scene since they were just starting to have two minutes of chemistry there and have the ā€œyou dont have to feel bad about the hugā€ in the zebra truck scene
percy trying to intimidate ares lolllll walker scobell did his best to make it look real tho so good for him for not representing it as it was; a lil 12 year old child threatening a wrestler looking god of war
ā€Thanks for the emotional abuse and the cheeseburgersā€ will forever be in the cinema hall of fame
i feel like grover either is going to say the wrong person or heā€™s going to figure out itā€™s luke but somethingā€™s going to stop him from saying it out loud
or heā€™ll say it which causes some angst amongst the team who dont trust him cuz both annabeth and percy worship luke like thereā€™s no tomorrow
RAINBOW?? OHH THEYRE GONNA IRIS MESSAGE LUKE??

Mark of Athena, first reading thoughts:
ā€”Forgot to post this again, who knows how long this has been on my notes.
ā€”First, I loved having Annabeth's pov, I missed her as a central character and I loved the development she had here.
ā€”BRO, they are all TOGETHER NOW AND THEY ARE IN A FLYING SHIP HAVING ADVENTURES. This the perfect setup, I would have read a 10 books series of just this.
ā€”I liked so many diferent povs, at first I thought it may become confusing, but far from it, it was fun and so dinamic. I already love all these characters and getting in their heads throught the book was great.
ā€” PERCY AND ANNABETH FINALLY REUNITED. šŸ˜­ It was so cute, 10/10
ā€”The Argo II WAS SO COOL. It kind of reminded me of Legends of Tomorrow and I fricking love that show, I wish this dynamic of the seven on the ship lasted forever, I adore that kind of premise. Even the moments when they just werenĀ“t getting along were interesting.
ā€”I felt a vein popping out of my eye with all the Camp Jupiter hunting them down thing, because it was just a misunderstanding, but I do understand why it happend (a little), and it was just so frustraiting.
ā€”All the interactions with Nemesis, Echo and Narcissus were such a trip, jesus.
ā€”God, I fucking love Leo, not only because he is so funny, but because he is so incredibly smart. Is a diffrent kind of smart then Annabeth, wich I really love, they both bring interesting things to the table and is a delight to read.
ā€”Wich is why Leo feeling so left out and like the "seventh wheel" was much more heartbreaking. He makes concernig comments the whole book, but because is just in his head nobody notices. I dont like where this is going...
ā€”As much as I loved all the adventures, I was so stressed out for Nico the whole time, it was driving me insane.
ā€”GJFHUYREGFEU Every single pov is so interesting, this book was GOLD. This is a masterclass in how to make distinctive narrative voices, it was so good.
ā€”The break between Percy and Jason was actually very interesting. I was afraid it would be reduced to petty jelousy (wich it is a little, but I mean, they are teenagers), but there was some nuace there. Like, I felt like it drew interesting parallels of what makes them so opossite despite being the " "liders" " of their camps. It even drives home what makes the roman demigods and the greek demigods diferent.
ā€”Jason being so serius and even cold, and Percy being as hotheaded as he is. Jason not knowing any other life apart from being a soldier vs Percy rejecting that life every chance he gets. Even the diferent perception they both have of the gods because each know a side of them the other doesnĀ“t.
ā€”Their possesed fight was kind of funny tbh.
ā€”I also love having the chance to explore each characters powers with every obstacle, I feel like it was very well used, I never thought, "well, why didnt they used x power."
ā€”"Please, she thought, wondering if her mom, the goddess of love, could hear her. Donā€™t let it be Jasonā€™s final breath. If love means anything, donā€™t take him away" Oh, Piper, honey. These kids are legit breaking my heart.
ā€”I really liked the scene of Annabeth and Percy on the stables, it was so sweet.
ā€”I dont know exactly what it is, but I can tell this is a much more curated, experienced writter. And is absolutely fantastic to get so far into the series because I can tell by now Riordan knows these characters so well. They have so many layers, is specially interesting with Percy and Annabeth because we see them grow so much.
ā€”The scene at the aquarium was very creepy and fun.
ā€”Percy developing a fear of drowning was like, so sad.
ā€”Ok Leo, I love you, but dont need to be a bully, come on.
ā€”Jesus, the whole conflict Annabeth had with her mom in this book made me so sad. The way all the gods just use their children (and have been for generations) gets more unberable with each book, I dont respect any of them, these kids just... still try to make them proud and not think ill of them and its so unfair.
ā€”Even the interaction with Aphrodite, I just kept getting angry. I got bad flashbacks from her praising the other two girls in front of Piper and making those weird comments.
ā€”On this one it hits harder and harder that all this kids want is a future, a good life, and they just never get a chance.
ā€”ā€œYou dropped this,ā€ he said, totally poker-faced.
Annabeth threw her arms around him. ā€œI love you!ā€ (I died, actually)
ā€”Was not a fan of HerculesĀ“s aproach. Moving on.
ā€” "Percy blinked. ā€œSo your brother is a winged horse. But youā€™re also my half brother, which means all the flying horses in the world are my... You know what? Letā€™s forget it.ā€
Heā€™d learned years ago it was better not to dwell too much on who was related to whom on the godly side of things. After Tyson the Cyclops adopted him as a brother, Percy decided that that was
about as far as he wanted to extend the family." - Percy, I love you.
ā€”Wisdomā€™s daughter walks alone. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
ā€”The minute Annabeth went on her own I was so nervous, my heart was racing the rest of the book.
ā€”Geez, I wanted to hug her so bad, everything just kept getting worse and worse.
ā€”Gaea is seriusly getting on my nerves.
ā€”Thereā€™s too much going on,ā€ he said. ā€œAnd honestlyā€¦before last month, I didnā€™t even know
when my birthday was. Thalia told me the last time she was at camp.ā€ - That is so fucking sad.
ā€” ā€œWhat is that?ā€ Jason asked nervously.
Piper slipped her hand into his. ā€œThe ghosts are dancing."
Dude! That entire scene of Piper, Percy and Jason and how it ralted with the story of the flood was AMAZING. Easy one of my favorite scenes from the whole saga.
ā€”Rescuing Nico had me so stressed
ā€”"Entertain me, heroes of Olympus." I- Im gonna kill him. IĀ“m gonna kill ALL THE GO-
ā€”Ok, but I liked Percy and Jason coming together and fighting alongside each other.
ā€”Oh my poor Nico, CAN HE GET A BREAKE FOR ONCE
ā€”My girl Annabeth, she is so smart, ahhhhh!
ā€”But Also, WHAT WAS THE NEED TO MAKE HER SUFFER SO MUCH
ā€”Few scenes had me in such a hold and as emotionally invested as the scene when Percy and Annabeth fall to Tartarus. What the Actual Hell. I was speechless for like an hour. The emotion, the tension, the terrible, brilliant moment when everything suddenly conects.
PEAK LITERATURE
ā€” Nemesis wanted him to wreak vengeance on Gaea? Leo would be happy to oblige. He was going to make Gaea sorry she had ever messed with Leo Valdez.
I am filled with dread, and fear, and hype.

(blackeriaizawa here)You've heard of wingwoman Rachel but what about wingwoman AnnabethšŸ‘€
AHHHHH! this would be so much fun!
like, imagine you are a child of athena so, you're her sibling and when you admit to finding percy cute, she'd probably roast you LMFAO especially in the early days.
she's just like, "really? you šŸ¤Ø like šŸ™ƒ percy šŸ¤¢?"
you have to defend yourself. "i-i just said he's cute! "
she'd probably see right through you, though. i think after all the teasing, she'd become your wing-woman without even asking. the problem is, sometimes you wish she wasn't because i feel like she wouldn't be subtle with her efforts at all LMFAO
for example, let's say you're in your sword fighting class together. when you're instructor tells everyone to find a partner, she'd shove you into percy šŸ˜­ or maybe she's like "oh, haha, percy you should partner with Y/N" but her tone is so unnatural and you're just dying inside
the funniest part is that you'll look visibly embarrassed by her efforts and she's like šŸ˜ƒšŸ‘šŸ¼ because she genuinely thinks she's doing a good job. you're so sure percy can tell something weird is going on. however, judging from how oblivious he is the entire series, he probably doesn't even notice it. Annabeth did help you more than you thought because she got you to talk to him. the shoving doesn't stop, though. there's been a few times at a CHB party where annabeth is like "go dance with him" and you're like "nošŸ˜³"
she keeps insisting until he's close enough and she calculates how hard she has to push you so that you'll stumble right in front of him. you hate it... but you didn't hate the outcome cause percy did ask you to dance šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøbut he might think you're clumsy. he's noticed you stumble into him a lot...
since annabeth is his friend, too, she's really blunt about asking him how he feels about you. it makes percy flustered but once he admits to thinking you're pretty cool, she begs you to go for it. she can't have her hard work go to waste! overall, she's very proud when you guys get together. all the awkward situations and aggressive orders were worth it in the end šŸ˜­

2022 WRITING REVIEW
tagged: @rosesau @ttimbradford <3
1. number of stories posted to ao3: 27 (Ā±2 bc i updated 2 fics that i started last year) but i reached over 100 works on ao3!!!!!
2. word count posted for this year: 101,410 (technically More bc i wrote ofic but that is obviously not posted anywhere)
3. fandoms i wrote for: marvel (spider-man), dc (batman, superman), pjo, the atlas series, six of crows, the raven cycle/the dreamer trilogy, hp, and goncharov šŸ˜­
4. pairings: petermj, petergwen, percabeth, libbynico, kanej, bluesey, blue/adam, clois, gonchandrey
5. stories with the most
kudos: accidental heroism (the batman) 3,357 bookmarks: the jones-watson-parkers (spider-man) 844 but since that was posted last year it's technically accidental heroism again w 640 comment threads: yet again... the jones-watson-parkers with 133 but it is still accidental heroism with 47
6. work i'm most proud of (and why): ummmm idk actually the work im most proud of is my ofic theo and i cannot Show that to u anyway it's bc i have never rly fully revised smth like. overhauled it n all that bc i finally Understood theo's character and it was such a RUSH to work on her fr and ive produced some of my Best Writing To Date!!! for fic tho uh??!??!?!? im pretty proud of most fic ive written this year bc i have tried rly hard ok šŸ˜­ usually i can pinpoint a single fic but i think ive written consistently well ???
7. work i'm least proud of (and why): a home for two (spider-man) mostly because i did Not vibe writing it i was literally pulling teeth trying to finish it but ppl seem to like it idk
8. share of describe a favorite review you received: this comment from a fic i posted last year bc "this fic is so PRETTY, literally poem in prose form im weeping. there's such a... melancholic vibe to it. or perhaps nostalgic. just, wow." has stuck w me forEVER!! and genuinely any comment i have even received from ao3 user Fairy527...u will ALWAYS be famous 2 MEEE!!!!!!
9. a time when writing was really, really hard: uh not for fic but i was tearing my hair out writing theo partially because of the content and partially because it is quite literally Difficult to write what's perfect in your head and i haven't even written theo to my own standards ngl
10. a scene or character you wrote that surprised you: the entirety of final goodbye because. Well. who knew i would be writing goncharov fic actually who knew goncharov would even exist fr
11. a favorite excerpt of your writing: ok not to have an ego but there r a fair few bits
Here's the thing about loss: sometimes you grow up and around a person, fitting and stretching and expanding to add them to the patchwork of yourself, and when they leave, there's a scar between both bodies. One here, one gone. An open wound. It's surprising how much time you can spend with someone and still come out the other end empty-handed. (slip of reality | spider-man)
Touching her eclipses his image of Elysium. ANDDDD Annabeth faces her past self, a funhouse reflection of who she once was. Neglect and trauma have warped Young Annabeth into something smallerā€”into someoneĀ smaller. (the annabeth project | pjo)
The Ronan after was broken, a raven of a boy, all hollow-boned. Yearned for flight, yet trapped by a cage of his own making. (the living lynches | tdt)
The very fact of her breathing astounds him for some reason. There are working lungs, a network of veins, a beating, beautiful heart hidden inside her body. She is wonderfully, colossally alive. (a kiss without a kiss | trc)
12. how did you grow as a writer this year: oh i have learned to appreciate writing first person bc of theo <3 and writing a little longer things bc i am a serial 1-2k oneshotter and i have Exceeded that a bit
13. how do you hope to grow next year: perhaps i will Finally finish a multichapter fic jesus christ
14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer, beta, cheerleader, etc): seedemma <3 u made me worse as a person. also tangentially em's professor . why has that random man infiltrated my life i've never met him. anyway jack im also kithing u on the mouth btw
15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: none that i can point out at the top of my head ! well. except for theo šŸ§šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø i gave her too many lysisms which is concerning considering everything wrong w her n her chronic patheticness
16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers: new wisdom??? god not rly but here is some OLD wisdom that i feel like other writers shld always listen to... read MORE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!! i swear u can taste the visceral difference btwn someone who writes and reads n someone who writes without reading n like ive read a fair few books this year and it has def seeped into my writing fr
17. any projects you're looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: working on the Novelā„¢ n also attempting to finish all these wips i have left in the grave
18. tag some writers whose answers you'd like to read: ngl i forgot who writes fic im sorry so @bluepinstripes & @ogiroud (who won't see this until jan fr)

Thoughts while watching the Lightning Thief for the first time:
ā€¢ Excuse me????? Isn't Poseidon supposed to be in a Hawaiian t-shirt or something? Instead they showed him as the most brooding guy ever.
ā€¢ Let's not even get started on the age of the characters. High school? Are you fucking kidding me?
ā€¢ The most non-Percy act in the movie was when Sally "died" and Percy didn't even utter a word about her after he woke up. Shouldn't that be the first thing on his mind? To check on his mother!
ā€¢ HOW DARE THEY ROB US OF YOU DROOL WHEN YOU SLEEP SCENE!!!!
ā€¢ They are clearly colour blind when it comes to eye colour. Since when does Luke have blue eyes?
ā€¢ Luke is hot. If evil, why sexy?
ā€¢ Where's Clarisse?
ā€¢ T-they just went ahead and made a joke of us... The thrill, the excitement, suspense of the first hundred pages it takes Percy to find out his father is Poseidon?? RIP. Where's the claiming scene??
ā€¢ Wait, I have been pronouncing Chiron and Satyr wrong
ā€¢ I refuse to speak about Annabeth's character because I'm so sad. So, so, so sad. How hard would it have been to make her blonde?
ā€¢ Annabeth in books: a literal icon. Annabeth in movies: butchered. All I see here is a midly annoying damsel in distress, not the smart, strategic, and wise Annabeth we all love.
ā€¢ The sexual tension in the scene where Annabeth tells Percy that she definitely has strong feelings for him but she is yet to decide if they are positive or negative... I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it so much. They should have been kids!!!
ā€¢ Logan Lerman isn't doing a bad job at all. He's the perfect Percy. I just wish that the movie stuck to the books and we could have watched him grow as Percy. Likewise for Alexandra.
ā€¢ The scene where Grover called Annabeth Annie is adorable.
ā€¢ Medusa's eyes are indeed attractive.
ā€¢ HELP. I love Grover.
ā€¢ Yes, yes, why should they use Iris message when they can just use technology to call Luke?
ā€¢ I love everything about the Lotus Casino scene. They nailed it.
ā€¢ Eeeeeeee, Poker Face <3
ā€¢ THAT'S PERSEPHONE?! THE GODDESS OF SPRING?! Yeah, right. She's not even supposed to be there at this time, man!
ā€¢ "You're Hades? Oh, sorry. I just didn't expect you to look like this, man. Kind of stylish. I like it," Grover just said what I was thinking.
ā€¢ Wait, Persephone just saved the day...? Ooooooookay.
ā€¢ Holy shit... Grover and Persephone šŸ˜­šŸ˜­. Grover is insanely hilarious, omg.
ā€¢ What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. Ares is supposed to battle Percy first, not Luke. I think Percy's rivalry with Ares was an interesting arc and made the books much more fun to read and they just... they just... I can't even say it.
ā€¢ Using his powers to such a great extent while fighting Luke should have made Percy faint.
ā€¢ I think I'm the son of Poseidon; iconic as fuck, thank you.
ā€¢ Excuse me but Sally isn't allowed on the elevator?!
ā€¢ "Annabeth, I'm so proud of you." I'm not.
ā€¢ The scene between Poseidon and Percy has my heart.
ā€¢ Chiron is a great mentor.
ā€¢ Stop. Stop. Stop with the sexual tension, you horny af creeps.

Oh it's been a while since I've done an ask game, thanks for the tag @pumpkinspice-prouvaire !
How many works do you have on AO3?
Four, but I'm working on like a million different things so HOPEFULLY that number will go up. One day. I promise.
What's your total AO3 word count?
202,152, holy shit you guys I can't believe I used to have that much energy. I want that kind of energy back yall.
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
Just one so far, Les Miserables, but I want to write a BBC Merlin fic soon one day.
What are your top five fics by kudos?
Bruh I don't have five fics on AO3 šŸ˜­ But that's because I've written a few tumblr fics. Oh well, I'll just do my four fics:
Because We Know You Still Love Him aka my ExR Parent Trap AU fic. Aahhhhh it's my first fanfic yall, ngl sometimes I get embarassed when reading it, other times I have fun reading it but. You know. It's a fun fic. I enjoyed writing it. There are people who like it.
It Started in a Garden aka my ExR Ever After: A Cinderella Story AU fic. Personally, I do like my writing in this fic, I'm actually proud of it, and I know there were people who loved it too, so maybe give it a go if you haven't (please.)
Something Under the Sand aka my The Mummy (1999) ExR AU fic and honestly this fic was so self indulgent that I kind of don't care if there's anyone who doesn't like it. I like it, and there were others who liked it, so I'm happy.
And He Falls With A Smile aka my "Feuilly friendship fic which is quite wholesome but also it's canon era so oh no" fic. This one has 13 kudos and like. Okay I know not many people kudo'd this because it doesn't have romantic relationships, especially because it didn't have ExR, so the fic didn't reach many people/gain a lot of interest. BUT. I am VERY proud of this fic and my writing in it, I am SO happy with this one, AND there are people who have kudo'd this fic who I really look up to in this fandom and I thought wouldn't even GLANCE at any of my fics and that thought makes me so giddy with happiness, so, I don't really care that it has the least amount of kudos.
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I always respond to comments! It makes my day, basically my entire WEEK whenever someone leaves a comment, so I try and convey how grateful I am that someone has read and commented. by responding, though often it can take a bit of time. And while writing this, I am reminded that there is a comment currently sitting in my inbox that I really should get around to answering...
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Definitely And He Falls With A Smile. I mean, it's set in canon era, and the name should he a bit self explanatory, but also the ending is still kind of hopeful, in a way?
Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you've written?
Do AUs count as crossovers? If they do then 3/4 of my fics are crossovers lol. I would say the craziest one I wrote was Something Under the Sand, The Mummy (1999) AU one.
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I haven't, thank God. I think I would die of shame if I did, lol.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No, I haven't.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No. At least, I don't think so.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, I haven't.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yall someone change the questions, this is my fifth time saying "no" LMAOOOOO. But @mykitchenisonfire151 we should really write that triumvirate mayor, superhero, and supervillain AU. We need to write exasperated Combeferre. Also, Enj needs to be the youngest in this one, that's just how it's gotta be.
What's your all time favourite ship?
Percabeth (Percy Jackson x Annabeth Chase.) Will always be the OTP closest to my heart.
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
My ExR Moulin Rouge AU :(. I really want to write it, but as soon as I open the doc my mind blanks out (actually my minds been doing that with a lot of writing recently, but shhhh.) Also I'm concerned people will actively dislike this one, and fear controls me lol.
What are your writing strengths?
I pride myself on writing emotion well, honestly. I feel like I can write realistic emotion. Also, in my humble opinion, I feel like I write romance well too, for someone who's never been in a relationship LMAOOOO.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Bruh I STILL don't know how to write action. Whenever I try to write it the scene feels so FLAT. Like I just can't achieve that adrenaline pumping through your veins feeling when writing action.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I like it! English isn't the only language (or French if you're writing for Les Mis), and in a few of the modern AU fics Im writing rn, I like to drop in a few times where characters will speak in a different language to indicate they're of a different ethnicity (I also like to make characters mix up their mother tongue with English words to show the struggles of coloured people who live outside their country of heritage, cuz I sure as hell have those struggles myself.)
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Les Miserables. Unless you count a bunch of the fics I wrote only in my head. Then it's Percy Jackson.
What's your favourite fic you've written.
Either It Started in a Garden or And He Falls With A Smile.
Man this got long. No pressure tags @mykitchenisonfire151 @cumbercookiebatchs @you-are-constance
thanks for tagging me @arofili for this writer ask meme!
how many works do you have on AO3?
73 (wtf when did that happen)
whatā€™s your total AO3 word count?
531,796
how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
ao3 lists 50, but some of these overlap, like me tagging something both ā€œles mis all media typesā€ and ā€œles mis victor hugoā€. so probably around 36?
The top fandoms are Les Mis, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bartimaeus, and The Adventure Zone
what are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Reunion ā€“the Untamed from Lan Sizhuiā€™s pov
Angus McDonald and the Case of the Soul Stealer ā€“taz fic sort of modern with magic au (also my first long fic and probably the fic with the most plot, i am very proud of it)
Wanting to Be Wanted ā€“ fma fic, 5 times Greed didnā€™t realize he cared about people and 1 time he did
what if the real steel samurai fandom was the friends we made along the way ā€“ ace attorney characters in the steel samurai fandom from an outside pov (i only started posting this a bit over 2 months ago, so iā€™m kind of impressed)
Better Than Nothing ā€“ Magnus Chase, Alex Fierro has gender feelings and receives a gift (this fic is really the one where i have zero idea why it is as popular as it is)
do you respond to comments, why or why not?
yeah! I like it when authors respond to my comments, so I try to at least say ā€œthanks!ā€ If someone leaves a more detailed comment, itā€™s fun being able to respond to the things they say and talk about any sort of ā€˜behind the scenesā€™ writing things
whatā€™s the fic youā€™ve written with the angstiest ending?
Iā€™m honestly not sure? I think even my angstiest fics have at least somewhat hopeful endings. Thereā€™s probably 5 or so I could choose from, but most of them were written a long time ago, Iā€™m going to say Sing Tomorrowā€™s Song because even though the ending isnā€™t too angsty compared to the rest of the fic, it is about Grantaire being seduced by the personification of Death as a semi-metaphor for him dealing with depression, so itā€™s not exactly cheery
do you write crossovers? if so what is the craziest one youā€™ve written?
Yes! I love crossovers, though I donā€™t write them as much as I read them. Probably the weirdest two fandoms to crossover was Les Mis and the Beka Cooper series because me and my cowriter just sort of stuck France in the middle of the Tortall universe and didnā€™t question it
have you ever received hate on a fic?
A couple times, but the only one I remember was when someone didnā€™t like me writing Enjolras as a trans man
do you write smut? if so what kind?
Hah nope Iā€™ll read it but as of right now Iā€™m aroace enough that Iā€™m barely comfortable with writing kissing
have you ever had a fic stolen?
I donā€™t believe so
have you ever had a fic translated?
One of my first fics was translated into Russian on ffn, Tricksters Running. (Itā€™s sort of a weird character study on the Doctor from Doctor Who and Gabriel from Supernatural, and despite me writing it at the age of 14 itā€™s not terrible? younger me was better at poetic writing than current me)
have you ever co-written a fic before?
yeah, with @arofili !
whatā€™s your all time favorite ship?
Uhhh this is hard. The ship that took up my brain for the longest time is Enjolras/Grantaire, and currently my favorite ship is Phoenix Wright/Edgeworth
whatā€™s a WIP that you want to finish but donā€™t think you ever will?
Well thereā€™s a Lucifer au of fma that i wrote like 70k words of and hyped up to all my friends but never started posting and honestly at this point I donā€™t think I ever will.
For things that I started posting, A Home Beyond the What Ifs about Eponine/Cosette in Japan. I do like it, and I have a couple scenes of the next chapter written out, but I also have no motivation to actually work on it
what are your writing strengths?
Honestly? No clue, but not plot. Dialogue maybe?
what are your writing weaknesses?
Probably plot. I can sometimes come up with one, but most of my fics are just a series of loosely interconnected interactions it feels like
what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Generally I donā€™t with a few exceptions.
If the pov character doesnā€™t understand what is being said, Iā€™ll sometimes write that bit of dialogue out in whatever other language it is in to sort of add to the experience (since I assume most readers would not be able to understand it either, and those who do will be delighted)
If the language is Japanese and characters mostly speak English, I also have the dialogue be in Japanese sometimes since that is the language I actually know well enough to be reasonably confident in writing it. I would not write a full conversation in Japanese or anything, but if theyā€™re switching between two languages then Iā€™ll write it out in the languages itā€™s supposed to be in (for other languages I would usually just say ā€œxxxā€ they said in y language, or italicize it if they switch between two languages enough).
Lastly, if the fic is about language then I might also do that because thatā€™s sort of the whole point of the fic (which mostly overlaps with at least one of the above, but I have a fic in my drafts where 2 sentences donā€™t fit the above exceptions, so i figured iā€™d include this)
what was the first fandom you wrote for?
Technically it was a Les Mis/Beka Cooper crossover. The first fic I posted that I wrote all by myself was a Supernatural/Doctor Who crossover. Which honestly sums up my interests as a 13-14yo pretty well I feel
whatā€™s your favorite fic youā€™ve written?
ā€¦this is so hard
Iā€™m going to say Truth, In the Eye of the Beholder (40k study on sharing a body from the pov of Ling Yao) because I genuinely had so much fun working on it, and Iā€™m extremely proud of how it turned out. Definitely one if the fics I put more effort into than normal, and wrangling character arcs into place was hard, but I think it was worth the effort
I tag @micamicster @shadowy-dumbo-octopus @aromantic-enjolras @queerfandommiscellany, if you want to!
