#and again now that i’m rereading them

For the fluffy thoughts,

Rain finding out about Dew’s element transition and making sure to still include him in all the Water Ghoul traditions and activities etc.

Swiss holding Phantom’s hand whenever they go and get piercings done.

Sunshine using her Fire element to help her fellow Ghoulettes with period cramps.

Phantom looking at all the nice Christmas decorations out in the town near the Ministry, the lights sparkling and reflecting in their eyes.

Cirrus and Aurora taking long walks in the snow with massive thermoses of hot chocolate.

Cumulus, Mountain and Aether staying up late to wrap Christmas/Yule/Solstice presents for the pack, having a few glasses of wine and signing Christmas songs.

STOP IT I LOVE LITERALLY ALL OF THESE SO MUCH

rain making sure to include few in water ghoul traditions is so real, rain fills that empty part of dew that was once water, wrung dry after the transition. water has always been apart of dew, and because of rain it still can be

swiss absolutely holds phantoms hands when they go get piercings, maybe they even get matching ones and phantom out a around to hold swiss’ hand while his is done too (swiss actually really appreciates it and probably needs it more than phantom)

sunny is for sure such a little hot in both ways water bottle for the other ghoulettes and they won’t let her forget that any time soon

phantom is just so in awe of all of the holiday decorations, they’re just so pretty and sparkly!!

cirrus and aurora AHHH cirrus definitely shoves her cold hands against auroras slightly warmer skin the the name of being cold, and to be fair she is but also…

UGGG the cumulus mountain and aether on, i don’t have anything to add it’s just perfection. them getting just a little bit tipsy and then a little handsy and all of a sudden they’re the most cozy little ball of purrs

I feel like out of all the layers of secrets and concealment Klein hides, the people that would probably be shocked the most if those secrets ever comes to light would be the Moretti siblings.

Imagine you have a brother. Brother was going to go find a typical 9-5 job, but then he suddenly “finds a better job” and boom all your livelihoods improve ‘cause of his earnings. He also starts to cook really well, but you chalk it down to him learning from his friend’s chef. Then one day, he dies on duty. You mourn for him and miss him desperately. You move to a bigger city and occasionally feel like he’s still around, but all you ever see are the new names popping up in the newspaper, such as Gehrman Sparrow, while you focus and continue on your life.

Then, somehow, years into the future, you find out he’s not dead. His grave is literally empty. Not only that, he’s also the great detective of the capital of your literal country, the crazy adventurer feared by pirates, the tycoon who was generous but mysterious and reserved, and a wandering magician granting wishes. Also, he’s a GOD. GOD. OF. A. LITERAL. CHURCH. Then you find out that HE’S NOT EVEN YOUR BROTHER. The brother you grew up with is long dead. It’s a stranger who has been and assimilated into his body and mind since the day your brother died. Oh yeah, that friend he said was the reason he’s a good cook? That friend has been dead even before your “brother”. And you swore you knew him well. He was a history student trying to get a good job for the future. What in the Evernight Goddess’ divine kingdom happened? Oh, yeah, speaking of Evernight, your “brother” is “Her” blessed. By the way, he still hasn’t gone to the theatre with you like he promised.

I don’t know how Melissa managed to find out The Fool = Klein (maybe some angel told her in a dream or Klein directly told her idk) but I can’t even comprehend how she managed to process that information. Like imagine waking up one day and finding out a close relative of yours presumed dead is now a deity. It’s definitely not an average Tuesday afternoon thing.

honestly the more I think about it Katherine’s little trick of compelling an entire small town & basically letting them live their lives / making sure they were safe for the most part & treating it as a blood bank drinking from people but not killing them was objectively way more ethical than Stefan’s method of unregulated animal hunting. like Damon compels people to let him drink & then makes them forget too & I don’t think that’s a bad thing per se but he does also frequently kill people for fun & entertainment & while I think that’s just him being a little silly if we’re being objective I guess it’s bad. Elena & Caroline stealing blood bags from the hospital while treated as the most ethical option (aside from hunting animals as if unregulated hunting isn’t terrible for the environment not to mention the fact it makes the vampires weaker & more susceptible to attack / less able to protect their human friends which is bad) is actually the WORST option the more I think about it. hospitals already have trouble getting enough blood donations. just because you’re not doing the act of murder you’re basically killing people who are expecting blood transfusions by stealing blood from a hospital. especially in mystic falls where people need an unusually high amount of blood transfusions I’m sure! Like cmon. I’m not saying Katherine actually did anything she did to be a good person she was clearly just being pragmatic but the people in her little “we love Katherine” town were happy. Who cares if they had to donate blood to her every now & then? they literally didn’t mind. in conclusion katherine pierce if ur reading this I have really easy to find veins & -

MPHFPC characters as PJO/HOO characters?

Based on my shoddy at best memory of HOO (I last read those when I was like. Ten)

Miss Peregrine - Chiron but bird instead of horse

Jacob - Percy, duh

Emma - hear me out, Thalia

Millard - the singular other named Athena kid (Malcolm? I think his name is?)

Bronwyn - Hazel, they have the same vibes to me

Enoch - do I even need to say Nico

Horace - Will

Olive - honestly you could make an argument for Rachel and I’d believe you

Claire - Harley because he’s too little for this shit

Hugh - probably Jason tbh

Fiona - Piper

Noor - Annabeth

i think one of the reasons i enjoy the percy series so much is because it’s an adaptation of the novels and not word for word the same.

at first i was a little upset by all the changes, but after rereading the books, i actually like the series even more now. as much as we all adore the books, i think we can agree that they’re not perfect. sometimes there’s plot holes, inconsistencies, or just bad writing in general. this gives rick a chance to fix those things, and that’s OKAY.

the series isn’t perfect either, don’t get me wrong, but it is nice to see the characters going on the same adventures even with some variation to the original story. i think this will allow the characters to be fleshed out more.

we have to remember that a tv show and a book is not the same medium, so the way these things are presented cannot be identical. otherwise the characters in the show would probably seem pretty flat since the books are only from percy’s perspective. the series allows us to learn more about the motives and personalities of other characters, be it annabeth, grover, or luke (personally, i’m really excited to see how his character’s story goes).

anyway, all of this is to say that the percy series is great for what it is (an adaptation of a book series). yes it could be better (cough longer and more episodes cough), but i personally really enjoy it so far.

Gally hides a lot of his panic attacks and nightmares that he got after he went through the Changing in a desperate attempt to be liked again in the Glade

He was kind of universally hated in the books, apparently becoming extremely unlikeable after he got Stung

which is honestly so sad. What he saw drove him slightly insane and he couldn’t handle it and shut down.

Currently reading Wolverine: Weapon X and I’ve yet to read any X-Men since I was 14. The comics that I DID READ were those massive omnibuses that amassed 100 comics or somethin per book.

Man I gotta read more X-Men and Wolverine. I’ve missed this stuff.

people wanting Sam to be a Special Girl so bad (including himself) when over and over the literal text says there is Nothing actually special abt him (or any of the Special Children!!!!!) they literally only got their powers because of Azazel’s blood (and then seemingly lost their powers when he dies, giving good textual evidence for the theory that their powers were drawing on Azazel’s own powers). And then Sam only gets powers again (but different ones! Not telekinesis or other Special Children powers) when he drinks regular demon blood in s4. Like it’s verrrrry clear in the text that his powers are derived from introducing substances into his system, they are not inherent. Sam’s own insecurities abt his inherent monsterhood and impurity color assumptions and how people read him but those are crucially his own skewed perceptions. But the actual text shows us that there was nothing special abt him or the other children. They were simply the children of victims he conned into making deals with him. But none of them were born monstrous or different, they were simply dosed with Azazel’s blood as babies and that worked their way into their systems and lay dormant until he decided to activate their powers (that they draw from him). Thee only thing Sam has that gave an edge over the other Special Children is his Lucifer bloodline but that in itself only makes him a stronger vessel but doesn’t give him any additional powers, just like being the Michael vessel or being a vessel for Cas didn’t give Dean (and Adam) or Jimmy any additional powers. I know people want Sam to be Special and different (and Sam is convinced he is, for better or for worse) but the thing is, he really really isn’t ! And I mean that with love. Sam thinks he’s doomed, that he’s monstrous and inherent impure and Wrong, but he’s not! He was not born bad or even different. He’s not Wrong to feel that way, he’s entitled to his feelings, but just because he feels something doesn’t make it factually true. And his powers are shows over and over to originate from introducing outside substances (demon blood) into his system. I think anyone regularly consuming demon blood (or given blood from a powerful demon like a Prince of Hell) could manifest these kinds of powers, we just didn’t get to see that happen again. Also on that note, feeding on grace should’ve been a thing and we should’ve seen Dean with angel powers as a fun little parallel. Ok, the end.

You have no idea how happy I am to see that other people like you don't like blades 2 as well. Like yes it was decent, but on the same level as book 1 in the LEAST.

And I agree, book 3 seems like an excuse to get fans off of their back about the writing. The finale felt extremely disappointing, compared to the thrill you could feel in book 1 end

Yeah, I’m still gonna play book 3 and (foolishly) hope that it’ll be better. But those hopes aren’t too high because book 2 was not a good set up for book 3 at all in my opinion. There’s so much going on. I don’t like that Valax is a part of our friend group now. However, the group dynamics were off long before that if I’m being real. Mal’s route was ruined for me.

When I was going through and deleting my screenshots the other day, I reread the “You slept through it scene” and just felt a renewed sense of hurt and anger at him and really all of our friends. Mal caught a lot of heat from me specifically because he’s my LI and the one who said such an awful thing. But honestly, the rest of the group essentially agreed with him by expanding on what he said (Imtura and Nia) or not saying anything at all (Tyril) and only getting on one accord to exclude MC.

And then on top of all of that, there are quite a few holes that really should be patched up. The plot was a mess for the majority of the story. Tbh it was almost giving Endless Summer because they were locking important information behind diamond scenes and in the lore tablets.

So all this to say that at this point in time, I no longer have faith that PB can handle complex storytelling. Their parent company and higher ups (unsurprisingly) only care about money. And the writers themselves are too lazy and too biased. Does that mean they can no longer write enjoyable stories? No, of course not. But I do think they need to rein it in and be a bit more realistic about what they can handle right now because there’s nothing wrong with a simpler book/plot that’s aware of what it’s trying to accomplish. And it’s clear that they were far too ambitious with Blades 2

Just a heads up for friends who read When Catastrophy Strikes…

A new chapter will be arriving tomorrow. And I’m working on being able to commit to weekly (or weekly-ish) updates.

Also I’m working on finishing Until I Find You.

Ya know, in case you were curious.

listening to “bloody mary” and forlornly imagining which lines i would put in the front of my judas novella when it was published. IF I COULD EVER PUBLISH IT
