#family Luke

[sorryiwasasleep]

Thinking about a seven year old Annabeth who starts sitting next to the Pine Tree every night.

“Hey Thalia! Today I…”

The others think it’s cute at first and not doing any harm, so they let her.

She does this for years.

Every night, without fail, after dinner, but before bed, you can find Annabeth Chase sitting at the top of Half-Blood Hill telling a tree about her day.

Telling her best friend.

Luke hates it with a burning passion, but Annabeth just looks so sad, so broken every time he tries to tell her Thalia isn’t listening, that she’s gone, that she was taken from them, so he lets it happen too. Even joins her sometimes.

(And if he gets caught by Chiron after curfew one night in late December screaming and sobbing and physically fighting the tree, cursing at the gods and begging with the bark for it to just be Thalia again, well, he’ll never tell Annabeth that’s for damn sure).

But then Luke goes on his quest.

And it goes horribly.

And he comes back angry, angrier than Annabeth has ever seen him, and scarred and bitter and he barely even looked at her when she visited him in the infirmary, won’t tell her anything at all about the quest, jaw clenched and rage radiating off him. She’s scared by it.

And she’s ten years old at this point and full of logic and she knows it’s silly, but dryads can listen when they’re sleeping in their trees, so she figures it’s not illogical to think that if Thalia is at all still in there, maybe she’s listening too.

She goes up the hill the night Luke is finally back on his feet to talk to Thalia about it.

And Luke is waiting for her.

And she smiles and picks up her pace because she thinks maybe he’s coming around, maybe being out in the world made him think about all the time when they were running and hiding, made him miss Thalia too instead of just his usual anger that she was gone. Maybe he was going to tell them both what happened!

None of those things occur.

Instead, Luke screams at her.

“Thalia is gone, she’s dead. We can’t just sit around and pretend she’s still here. You’re too old to keep doing this Annabeth.” He spits out the words like they hurt. “The gods could have saved her but didn’t because they were cowards, afraid of the threat she might pose, without even considering that they could use threatening.” He finishes his rant with a snarl, his one eye not currently patched glaring up in challenge at the sky.

And it terrifies Annabeth.

She’d started crying right when he raised his voice, but then the things he actually said?

“Y-you don’t mean that Luke. You don’t.” Her words tumble out of her mouth. She’s shaking now, trying to suppress the sobs that want to escape her.

He just scoffs and shakes his head. “I do.” He throws a look of disdain at Thalia’s tree and strolls back down the hill.

She doesn’t understand this. She doesn’t understand why Luke is so angry. What happened to him?

She sits on the hill and sobs and tries to talk to Thalia about it, but the words catch in her throat.

Luke apologizes in the morning and tells her about his quest and Annabeth accepts the apology and is once again awestruck by him, even if he hadn’t completed the goal he was given because he got to fight a dragon.

And Annabeth’s feet take her to the bottom of the hill as they do every night, but she’s stopped by a wave of shame.

And the thought that maybe Luke is right.

Maybe she does need to start moving on.

Make a friend who can talk back.

She stops talking to the Pine Tree.

(And somewhere in a haze Thalia’s dreams get a little less interesting)

Scar? scar???? is that? SCAR???

[oogaboogabeepboop]

This cute little baby is who gets a brother and then has to tell him “Family, Luke. You promised…”😭

annabeth’s backstory is even more tragic when you realize that she was THIS SMALL when she ran away from home like THAT’S A BABY

What does Tim say when people ask about his spleen?

Damian: I am updating my blackmail records. Tell me what happened to your spleen in its full hilarity.

Tim: I donated it to a sickly orphan.

Damian: You win this round.

———————

Tim: I have to be careful, I lost my spleen.

Carrie: How?

Tim: Aliens.

———————

Tim: I'm zero percent spleen and fifty-nine percent pizza sauce.

Helena: Zero percent spleen?

Tim: Yep. On the bright side, they named a disease after me.

———————

Luke: I've designed nanotech vitals trackers to be implanted on our spleens.

Tim: Oh, no thanks. I don't have one.

Luke: You don't have a spleen?

Tim: It wasn't paying rent so I evicted it. Lazy freeloader.

———————

Barbara: Why does your chart say you're missing a spleen?

Tim: I made a deal with the devil but I had a discount code so instead of my soul I just needed to sell a non-essential organ.

———————

Steph: What happened to your spleen? Are you okay?

Tim: I'm fine. It's taking an extended gap year.

———————

Harper: So... can I ask about your spleen?

Tim: Yeah, don't worry. I was part of a failed science experiment.

Cullen: What'd they do?

Tim: They injected me with a serum that was supposed to make me indestructible. But instead all I got were a spleen removal and chronic insomnia. And a free T-shirt.

Cullen:

Harper:

Cullen: Was it a nice shirt?

———————

Dick: What do you mean you don't have a spleen?!?

Tim: It was confiscated by airport security.

———————

Tim: Happy Pride! My spleen finally came out of the closet. And by closet I mean my body.

Kate: Diversity win.

———————

Tim and Jason: *arguing*

Jason: At least I still have my spleen!

Tim: It's genetic!

Jason: Sucks to be you.

Tim: We have the same dad. It could happen to you too.

Jason, scoffing: Whatever.

Jason, internally: Oh shit, he's right. I need to see Leslie.

———————

Tim and Bette: *sparring*

Bette: *hits Tim*

Tim: Ow. Time out. That was my spleenhole.

Bette: ...How?

Tim: It took a trip to the Titanic in a soup can with a Playstation controller.

———————

Duke: Since when did you have that scar?

Tim: Since losing my spleen last year.

Duke: How do you lose a spleen?

Tim: You forget to cherish it.

———————

Cass: ?

Tim: I digested it.

———————

Selina: You know I have to tell Bruce about this.

Tim: Okay, fine.

Tim: I had to get it removed as a kid after falling into a well of bats.

———————

Bruce: Tell me what happened to your spleen so Alfred and Leslie can give you the proper treatment.

Tim: What do you mean?

Bruce: Everyone's been telling me you don't have it.

Tim: Well, I do, so...

Bruce: Alright, I'll have a talk with them about bad taste pranks.

———————

Alfred: You can't keep the truth from me, Master Tim.

Tim: Assassins stole it.

Alfred: I wasn't born yesterday. Now what really happened?

Tim: ...

Ah yes, the "evil" family.

I thought it would be even more funny if it was Luke, of all people, the one who wanted to watch Bloodbath in the Black Moon of the Dragon System.

THEY WERE A FAMILY

[dancingdaffodils08]

The child of divorce:

The parents:

[tantive404]

The Star Wars Original Trilogy is peak fiction because they took a fairy tale and set it in space, then they gave the princess in distress a GUN. But even better they gave her a sharp tongue and the power of revolution. They made the “dragon” a depressed cyborg father with asthma who doesn’t understand his own emotions and does murders because of it. And they made the knight a blond Barbie boy who attempts to solve problems with the power of love like he’s Sailor Moon or something.

And then they said, “oh yeah they’re all related btw. All the galaxy’s problems are this one family’s fault. Hope this helps 😘”

[stealingpotatoes]

if anakin didnt fall to the darkside, he would be that dad embrassing his kids and teliing embrassing stories about their childhood to Din and Han if he ever ends up accepting him

which is even more fun when u remember the skywalkers are the three most powerful force users in the galaxy

luke fumbling in recruiting percy has to be one of his greatest failures. a beautiful thing the show does regarding luke and percy's relationship is building rapport between them through shared moments like settling into camp, eating meals together, but especially through swordfighting lessons. the swordfighting scene at the beginning of episode 8 not only reveals that percy and luke already share similar beliefs about the fear-based system the gods have cultivated, but it's clear the conversation stays with percy when he fights ares and later calls out zeus on his waning skills as a father and a king. however, luke's plan fell through the moment percy learned that the winged-shoes were meant to drag him to tartarus. not only that, but the shoes nearly killed grover, a friend percy cared for deeply. if nourishing loyalty and trust was the key to ensuring a partnership with percy, then it was luke's faulty planning, arrogance, and impatience that cost him the greatest ally he could ask for.
