This is your future when you do as I tell you. Watching the spiral twice a day, walking you around the mall while you're dressed in skimpy clothing, making sure all your holes are trained for easy use.
Bimbos don't need to think, they just need to obey.

What is the Path you stride on Honkai: Star Rail ?
the nihility path.
"You may gaze deep into the vast grandeur of the stars, but do not glance at the abyss of the void... for it holds nothing except for the ability to make mortals lose all reason and thought." Among the diverse paths that exist, there are those who follow the enigmatic "Nihility" Path, admiring laziness, exhaustion, and embracing meaningless behavior.

There's also the impulse to be like "women ain't shit" but that's a lie I love our women. Not women as a whole's fault that one of them turned out a selfish bastard of a coward.
I just need to find a woman who doesn't treat me like That. Get me a good butch. I need me a good butch.
#speculation nation#id love a good butch who can pick me up and help move my furniture#and who is so sweet and treats me like im someone valuable (& not immediately replaceable ...)#the bar is actually so low. god why do i keep ending up dating assholes?#ex before this ex wasnt an asshole. i was the asshole in that situation.#but that's where the whole. wanting to find someone right for me comes in.#god 'ex' really is such a vague term for me. i got bad ex goth ex uhh other good ex but still sucked#nothingburger exes 1 2 3 4#and the gay awakening ex who i really shouldve given more attention to but unfortunately i was a stupid 16 year old#and broke up with her for my bad ex. alas.#and then theres milquetoast ex and uhmmm. well i actually dont know what im going to label my most recent one.#i dont think it's fully sunk in yet what happened. bc it really was so sudden.#i last saw her on thursday and everything was normal and nice. just like pretty much the whole of the 6 months with her.#and then she started hanging out with the coworker i guess. and the rest is history.#i think she lied about being busy spending time with friends to excuse why she was so distracted on the weekend.#she was probably busy spending time with that girl. who she apparently feels like shes suffocating if shes not in the same room as her#it does suck in a lot of ways. but also with her friends. i was trying rly hard to spend time with them and be liked by them.#one of them's moving into my building this next year. across from my unit. so i wonder how thats gonna go.#my ex mentioned how she'd be spending twice as much time here then just last saturday.#and now. well. like fuck she's coming in here anymore. but i wonder if i'll see her going to visit her friend.#id been kind of excited for it. looking forward to spending time with a neighbor too. but probably not anymore.#i do wonder what her friends will think. i hope she tells them the truth and they chew her out for being such an asshole.#literally breaking up with me over text. who fucking does that??? she didnt have the guts to hear me cry???#i'll make sure she sees the full force of my displeasure when she drops my gifts off tomorrow.#she used to like how rough around the edges i am. well she's gonna see just how rough around the edges i Really am.#i kind of. dont really want to see her. but i also do. i want her to look me in the face and talk to me#to see who it is she's dropping. to see how it has affected me. even if she didnt see my heartbreak as it happened.#i laid into her Hard so she knew just how badly she hurt me. so that she would feel even a fraction of my hurt.#so she would feel Guilty. she apologized over and over. said she knew she'd regret it. but she just Had to do it.#'this will be my life's regret' then why'd you do it? fucking impulsive dumbass. what bullshit.

I would like to ask which of the HSR characters would be their favorite type of Goth Girl and how they interact with the goth girl reader.
HSR characters and their favourite type of Goth Girl
Hmm, that's a good question! I'm not very familiar with fashion, so I had to look up the different subtypes(?) and styles of Gothic fashion. Here’s what I came up with, but keep in mind—this is just my opinion on these specific characters!
Blade – Traditional or Occult Goth
Blade would gravitate towards a goth style that embodies the Traditional or Occult Goth aesthetic—dark, intense, and reminiscent of ancient mysteries. This style complements his own fractured soul and aligns with his sense of danger and fatalism.
Blade would admire her goth style in a quiet, intense way. He’d likely avoid compliments, but his lingering gaze would speak volumes. Occasionally, he’d make cryptic remarks about her choice of symbols or accessories, intrigued by the darker meaning behind her look.
He’d invite her on nighttime walks, where they could talk about life, pain, and purpose. Blade would share his own views on suffering and self-destruction, finding solace in knowing that someone understands the allure of darkness without flinching.
When she shares her own struggles, Blade would respond with empathy, quietly urging her to embrace her scars. He’d consider her as a kindred spirit, united by a mutual understanding of darkness, perhaps even guiding her towards finding strength in their pain.
Kafka – Elegant or Victorian Goth
Kafka would be enchanted by an Elegant or Victorian Goth style, one that exudes mystery, timeless beauty, and a touch of refined danger. A style that combines old-world charm with darker, alluring elements would captivate her attention.
Kafka would treat her as her accomplice, matching her elegance with her own polished look. She’d appreciate her ability to blend dark, regal sophistication with subtle danger and would often compliment her in her composed, low-key way.
She would revel in their shared love for all things dark and alluring, occasionally teasing her with whispered secrets and mysterious invitations, making her feel like part of an exclusive, hidden world.
Whenever the reader/she reveals a darker or emotional side, Kafka would listen intently, then offer her hypnotic words of wisdom, nudging her towards a balanced yet sophisticated approach to their emotions. She’d subtly manipulate her into embracing her elegance as armor.
Sunday – Dreamy or Romantic Goth
Sunday would be drawn to a goth style that embodies a sense of ethereal beauty and dreamy mystique, like a Romantic or Dreamy Goth. This aesthetic, filled with delicate lace, ethereal black layers, celestial accessories.
Sunday would admire her goth look as if she's an angel of the night, often complimenting the dark beauty she bring to his Sweetdream Paradise. With poetic and enigmatic language, he'd express how she reminds him of a serene vision, free from the pain of the waking world.
Behind closed doors, he’d reveal a gentler, protective side, seeing her as someone worth preserving in his dream-like world. He’d subtly ask her about her philosophy on life and pain, curious if she'd share his perspective on a reality without suffering.
Whenever she displays a darker or more melancholic side, Sunday would be there to “soothe” her spirit, gently guiding her towards his paradise—although this “soothing” might actually involve urging her to escape painful thoughts.
Robin – Ethereal or Pastel Goth
Robin would admire an Ethereal or Pastel Goth style, with softer tones like lavender and violet combined with traditional goth elements. This blend of gentleness and depth aligns with her own music and tragic past, which holds an undercurrent of beauty amidst sorrow.
Robin would feel a comforting connection with the reader’s look, as it aligns with her own aesthetic of blending light and dark. She’d often give small, heartfelt compliments, noting how her style reminds her of a bittersweet melody.
She’d enjoy quiet moments with the reader, perhaps inviting her to her studio, where they’d share their thoughts on beauty, darkness, and the ways they each express their emotions. Robin might even dedicate a song to her, inspired by her unique blend of innocence and mystery.
When the reader is feeling down, Robin would offer soft-spoken support, listening patiently and reminding her of the beauty in every emotion, treating her struggles like notes in a beautiful song that deserve to be heard.
Aventurine – Cyber or Industrial Goth
Aventurine would appreciate a goth style that leans into cyber or industrial aesthetics—think metal accessories, bold colors, and futuristic touches. This type of goth aligns with his strategic mind and love for taking calculated risks, mixing sophistication with an edge.
Aventurine would be fascinated by her bold look, often pulling her aside to compliment her style in a playful, flirtatious way. He’d likely buy her accessories, such as metallic chokers or bracelets, to enhance her look and treat her style as another high-stakes investment, always encouraging her to be bold.
With his knack for creating excitement, Aventurine would take her to the casinos or exclusive places where they could revel in the aesthetic together. He’d suggest that every encounter and style choice is part of a larger game, creating an atmosphere of thrill and risk, which he finds irresistible.
When the reader shares her darker feelings or thoughts, he’d humorously encourage her to “double down” on it, teaching her to gamble with her emotions, to transform them into something powerful and alluring.
I hope you like it! I tried my best, and it was challenging to decide styles (and writing for a female reader as I'm used to writing for gender neutral) and all, so I really hope you enjoy it 🫶❤️🩹

Death Appreciation Week!
With Dead Boy Detectives hitting our screens on the 25th April, and with our girl Death of the Endless making a guest appearance, it seemed only fitting that we should celebrate her in the run up to the show's release.
So I will be running a Death Appreciation Week from Thursday 18th April to Thursday 25th April which will be a celebration of all things Death of the Endless!
Participation is easy. You can go through the prompt list below, and choose to create in whichever way you feel most comfortable. I am keeping this event as flexible as possible so the prompts aren't tied to set days, you just go for whatever you feel most inspired by whenever you can make the time and ideally if you are able to complete a prompt of your choosing each day of the event well then you are a star and I love you!
Prompt List
Death and Family - Dysfunctional as they may be the Endless are a family unit, and their parents are even worse.
Death and Mortals - Some have won her favour, others have slipped through her grasp.
Death and Immortals - even the God's must meet her in the end.
Death and Relationships - Who doesn't flirt with Death on occassion?
Lessons Learned - Death's words of wit and wisdom.
Death the Fashionista - She's rocked many looks over the years, but she's always been a goth fashion icon.
A Day with Death - every 100 years she takes mortal form.
The Sound of Her Wings - lets not forget she has them!
"A Cold Stuck-Up Bitch" - It's a long endless lifetime - Death's early years and how she's changed.
Death Tarot - a symbol of transformation, of change, and even of hope?
Rules for Participation
All types of fanworks are permitted. Fanart, fanfics, gifsets, meta analysis, polls, even just sharing your fave comic panels or official artwork is fine. The goal is to celebrate this amazing character in all her forms.
For your work to qualify for submission to the event, it has to prominantly feature Death of the Endless as the primary focal point. Whilst I encourage exploring her relationships with other characters, the point is to highlight Death as the central character in the work.
the hashtag #Death Appreciation Week must be tagged in all works for the event.
Anything goes! I welcome all ships, all types of work, all themes and content. NSFW is absolutely fine if that's your jam. We don't kinkshame here either. So long as everything is clearly tagged you can literally create what you want.
The prompt list is just a guide for inspiration but literally any fanworks that focus on Death can be included. You don't have to follow prompts if you don't want to.
This is a love fest for Death - which means no hate, discrimination, exclusion, etc. Please also keep criticisms and complaints out of the event tag.
Death of the Author - this is my Neil Gaiman Keep Out sign. As much as I love the guy, this is a fan event and I do not consent to anyone tagging the author in my posts. If he somehow finds it on his own thats on him lol, but please don't tag him.
Most importantly HAVE FUN - and share this post. Signal Boost please!
If you have any questions about the event, the prompts, or anything, please send me an ask or a dm. I'm happy to answer anything and help as much as needed.
With love and thanks to @seiya-starsniper for the awesome banner, and @marlowe-zara and @tryan-a-bex for their ideas and support. <3

i’ve been thinking a lot about making a youtube video on the history of coquette, from roughly 2014 to now, because it’s super fascinating. its been so surreal to watch this community go from a small gathering of teen weird girls who loved lana del rey and “nymphet” core to this big network of people uniting over a shared love of femininity and connecting with that weird girl within, but also breeding a really potent toxicity with the whole “femcel” thing. idek if that makes sense but i just think about it a lot.
and i really wanna give some type of education on how coquette is a full-blown subculture and not just a cutesy fashion trend. at this point, there is a huge canon of cult films, books, and music associated with coquette, in the same way that there is tons of media associated with goth culture or punk culture and other alternative subcultures like that. its so annoying to see people be like “im so coquette!!” just bc they’re wearing a pink bow when i know for a fact they’d judge people for liking nicole dollanganger, or the book lolita, or anything else about coquette that’s kind of weird, creepy, or deals with the darker side of femininity in any way.
there’s just so many fascinating things that i’ve witnessed over the nearly ten years i’ve been involved in the coquette/nymphet community and i’d love to talk about it ^-^
#if i ever make this video yall have to watch it and gas me up plsplspls#angelposting#coquette#faunlet#girlblogging#dollette#aesthetic#history#subculture#lana del rey#vladimir nabokov#sofia coppola#nicole dollanganger#sociology

hotd episode 3 thoughts:
big fan of that smash cut from the blackwood vs. bracken blustering to the battlefield covered in corpses, just the kind of escalation i was hoping to see this season
rhaenys i love you but you have GOT to acknowledge that a peaceful path is not going to work as this point and you're making rhaenyra look bad by persuading her there might not be war
criston cole is so bad at being hand compared to otto tower, my god, the energy in that small council room was like a group project when the sole person holding it together isn't there anymore
i'm continuing to really like the dynamic between rhaenyra and mysaria, it just adds a lot of interesting depth to both of their characters
don't worry seasmoke your time is coming just be patient buddy
harrenhal is so goth! and desolate! and ruined! and damp! just as i hoped!!!
ser simon strong you're the only man i respect at harrenhal. really love his deadpan sense of humor and unwillingness to put up with daemon's dramatics, this is going to be a fun dynamic
why do i get the feeling that every hightower who sees alicent and criston standing next to each other immediately knows they're fucking lol
never thought i would feel bad for criston again but i would not want gwayne as my coworker on a military campaign, he does NOT seem cut out for this
criston is terrible but he had really nice hair so i can't believe he got a haircut :(
rhaenyra. girl. you have to made a decision about this war. i'm begging you know. a dragon ate your son! do something about it!!
rhaena having dialogue! rhaena having a character and something to do! rhaena and baela having a scene together where they both talk! i have dreamed of these days and now they're finally here!
i like how this season has carefully allotted 1 scene per episode of larys sneaking around and being like "sooooo i heard this thing you might want to know…" evil adviser representation!
ulf. my guy. if it's genuinely dangerous to be a dragonseed in king's landing you should maybe not be bragging about it to every random guy in a tavern you meet.
having a really hard time imagining aegon and aemond being united and killing people on their dragons together like the greens want them to after that last scene with them, i'm pretty sure i could see aemond trying to kill his brother via telepathy during it
baela chasing criston and gwayne on dragonback was soooo good honey i am so proud of you keep up the good work
begrudgingly awarding criston one "actually good at his job" point for noticing moondancer in the sky
audibly yelped "MILLY ALCOCK?!?!" when she turned up in daemon's dream sequence, i was NOT expecting to see her this season
alys rivers standing around creepily and saying ominous things to daemon…again, i have dreamed of this day for several years
i also REALLY was not expecting rhaenyra and alicent to share a scene together this season
by the end of the episode i was definitely getting sick of rhaenyra's waffling about her decisions but i'm glad that her conversation seems to have hardened her and she's about to commit to the war for real, it's about time
it could have been interesting if rhaenyra and alicent never communicated about the "aegon's dream" prophecy mishap but emma d'arcy's acting when rhaenyra thought viserys had truly discarded her in favor of aegon really got to me and i was on the edge of my seat hoping she would realize the truth
at this point i am really ready for some proper dragon carnage so i'm very happy that next week seems to be delivering on that :)
#pie says stuff#house of the dragon#hotd#hotd spoilers#rhaenyra targaryen#alicent hightower#daemon targaryen#baela targaryen#criston cole

Fandom: Invader Zim
Character: Tak
Pairing: Romantic
Type of Fic: Concept
(Optional) Other info I should know: Gender-neutral human reader
Sure! Hope you like it :) I rewatched her episode for this.
Yandere! Tak with Human! Darling
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Stalking, Jealousy, Kidnapping, Isolation, Secret recordings, Dehumanization, Mind control/Mind tricks, Implied murder, Forced "relationship."
Cunning, ruthless, and deeply vindictive... It's easy to see Tak as more serious than Zim.
She's much more advanced in her tech and one can assume she'd be capable as an invader.
If Zim didn't ruin it for her.
Her being with a human would be strange for her.
After all, she doesn't understand human affection or behavior.
She didn't think she cared, either.
Not until she met you, someone close with either Dib or Zim.
Originally her goal for interacting with you was information.
Her disguise is convincing compared to Zim's, mostly because hers was proper.
She doesn't understand humans but you seem to fascinate the Irken.
Not going to lie... Tak is infinitely more capable of securing her obsession than Zim.
She can easily stalk and remember your routines with MiMi.
MiMi is Tak's SIR Unit, but when disguised the bot just seems like a cat.
So while you think Tak's just a cat person and her cat seems really interested in you...
She's actually spying on you.
Of course, at first it's to know more info about Zim.
You're either close with the male Irken or his nemesis, Dib.
Which means you must have info.
Instead, she has a ton of footage of your routines and who you talk to through MiMi.
Along with a lot of footage that includes you petting MiMi, which wasn't what she was looking for at all.
Tak herself is your classmate in school.
For the sake of this concept of course, this is an AU where you're a senior in high school or you're in college.
She ends up following you to every class, keeping a cautious eye on you.
Tak's known to many as just, y'know, the goth girl.
Her human disguise has that appearance and many find her strange.
Some may even see her as appealing.
Tak is only interested in one human.
You.
She isn't even sure why.
Humans are just the disgusting life forms on this planet.
Why does she find this one interesting?
She shows to be distant around at times, other times she tries to engage in conversation.
Although her speech with you seems... off... a bit too eager.
She wouldn't harm you.
No, she doesn't think humans show affection through violence.
The only reason she's violent with Zim is because she hates him.
She probably knows how humans show affection.
Does she understand the purpose? Not entirely.
Doesn't matter much to her.
She tries to deny the idea of liking you.
However... When in her ship, she finds herself scrolling through the footage MiMi took of you.
She will admit... you're cute... for a human.
Due to Irken not having courting or romantic practices like humans, her views of you are twisted.
She probably thinks having a partner is like having a pet... or entertainment.
She's seen human courting before... the internet database she hacks into helps with that
But she struggles understanding the real meaning behind it, even if she imagines doing it with you.
It's quite literally alien to her.
That might not stop her from replicating it, though.
Tak may mimic human courting to try and be closer to you.
Just to satisfy her strange curiosity.
You'll see this when she gives you gifts she's heard you wanted.
Of course... She stole it with MiMi, but it's the thought that counts, right?
She even tries replicating physical touch, like hugs or a hand around the waist.
Feels weird but... She's trying.
In terms of kissing? She'd probably stay away from that for the most part.
Although, when she feels she's had enough of 'taking things slow'... She's just going to abduct you.
Similar to Zim, she plans to keep you in a cell with MiMi watching your every move.
She may even make you walk in there yourself as she's shown to have some sort of mind trick powers.
Said powers are actually how she gets you gifts, food, and others to not question your disappearance.
Why should they worry?
They no longer need to do that.
Such manipulation is how she gets her way without too much violence, which could draw attention.
People like Dib and Zim could notice.
But she'll probably find other ways to keep them out of her way.
Examples include an injury of some kind... or even death (Especially for Zim).
Tak plans everything, so others finding out about you will be easy for her to cover up for the most part.
You're scared enough when Tak, whom you thought was your friend, kidnapped you.
Yet you're even more scared when she reveals herself as her Irken form, an alien smaller than you yet still quite capable of harm.
She'd probably stay her Irken form around you in private, not caring much about you seeing her now.
Scared? Understandable.
But if she went through all this trouble of 'courting' and caging you... Then it must mean she cares, right?
You doubt that.
She'd probably do things like pet you or hold you close to him.
She may even praise you, dehumanizing you into a pet.
She sort of sees the appeal now.
She likes having control over you, a human.
Your species is lesser to her...
You should feel grateful she's 'pampering' you.
It irritates her when you sit in the corner and sob that wretched salty water.
Do you need more affection?
More pets? Hugs? That kiss thing humans do?
She doesn't particularly enjoy it... but it is a bit endearing to see how you react.
Tak blames you for catching her attention.
Yet... You'll prove useful.
Her first step is going along with her current plan.
She'll get rid of Zim... and Dib for that matter.
Then she'll claim the Earth as her own to impress The Tallest.
After that?
Well... After that you're coming home with her.
She thinks she's courted her human correctly.
After all, now you're hers!
You'll live in the cell she made for you and stockpile supplies...
Then you'll go to your new home with her...
Her beloved human pet... or is it a partner in your culture? She still doesn't quite understand.

Punk music is, politically speaking, a vehicle that was built to express sentiments of working class rage and destructive tendencies. That doesn't mean it's perfectly left wing, poor people are not perfectly left wing. From the patches and safety pins and ripped denim that are staples of punk fashion to the subject matter of songs by the Dead Kennedys, The Clash, Black Flag, and even the Sex Pistols, its all class rage and resentment all the way down.
Goth and Punk both as subcultural movements have relatively clear intentions, even if the politics get jumbled. They're nihilistic, angry, angsty reactions to a world that beats down on poor people. It's the idea that there is something deeply wrong with a society that doesn't take care of its people and using music to express how you feel about that situation.
I came up in the 2010s, which meant that Emo was on the back end of its moment when I was discovering music outside of my parent's taste and whatever was on the radio. I've heard a lot of things about the emo movement as it relates to other subcultures but one thing I heard that I want to respond to here is that it's not about anything, which is not perfectly correct but it looks that way on the surface and is actually a very interesting observation. Punk's about how we can't pay the rent our government is taking advantage of us, rich people are taking advantage of us, and unlike those hippies who think they can solve all the worlds problems with peace and love and non violent protest, we're gonna break stuff. We're gonna make it everyone else's problem. Goth coming from the punk scene was less angry and more purely nihilistic and death obsessed but still had that sort of vibe of the aristocracy's time has come, look how easily I can look like a decaying version of them. Emo doesn't really have that clear of a message by comparison.
I would like to posit that this is because Emo is end of history punk. There's still that feeling that there's something deeply wrong, there's still angst and rage and nihilism and resentment, but by now the enemies of the United States' capitalistic global hegemony have fallen, there is no alternative, terrible things keep happening but the propaganda machine is pumping it into your brain every single day that this is the best of all possible worlds. The problem can't be society it has to be you.
So punk music evolves, we're not doing a revolution anymore the revolution is dead, we're not watching it decay anymore because this shambling corpse won't drop dead and has managed to convince us it's immortal. But the feelings are all still there. So they turn inward. The destruction becomes self-destruction. You can't be feeling this way because society is bad, it must be you, you must be depressed, that girl you didn't really like that much broke up with you, maybe it's that. It couldn't possibly be the fact that you're poor and you're sick but can't get help and the corporations are destroying the planet and you can't do anything about it. This is the best of all possible worlds, remember? You are an acceptable casualty of that, if you don't like it you can either suck it up, take pills, or slit your wrists, the choice is yours. And the emo scene says maybe I will slit my wrists because I can't live like this.
I think now both punk music and emo music along with the fashion are having a bit of an interesting revival, and I don't think the revival is good but I definitely think it is necessarily a sign of the times. The common person has been given access to a certain level of celebrity, the cracks in the political hegemony that the 90s and 00s propaganda told us would last until the heat death of the universe are showing, corporations in their quest for endless growth have made us into modern serfs and commodified every aspect of our lives. We see so much death every day from covid from state violence that used to be easier to cover up. The apocalypse we were warned about but unable to stop is here. There's an appetite for the nihilism, the rage, the self destruction from the failure to change anything, and in pursuit of profit, the companies see that appetite and respond to it with fast fashion and industry plants, and the common person who is under constant surveillance and has been convinced it's what they want has prettied up the grittier aspects of the scene in order to make it social media ready. The goth bars close and the regular bar has an emo night, social media influencers who used to bully you for your DIY fashion does a "Tradgoth" makeup trend that looks more like Gottmik than Siouxie Sioux just to wipe it off and post it for a Sephora sponsorship. You say anything about any of it and you get accused of being more hardcore than thou even though you're just making observation about the scene you've been in for a decade. And you look around you and the same thing is happening to hip-hop and the state of the music scene is even worse for normies so this is clearly a universal problem.

🩷 ✨ aphrodite cabin headcanons 🪩 💌
aphrodite cabin headcanons bc the way rick wrote them was fucked up. let them be silly and hyperfemme and girlypop i am begging you.
they have a billion playlists for different occasions (getting ready in the morning, arts and crafts, capture the flag, etc.) that they share with the apollo cabin.
to clarify, they are not allowed to use the capture the flag playlist anymore because they are permanently banned from playing after a hermes kid almost lost an arm.
the clothes in the camp store are ugly as hell so they convinced chiron to let them set up racks of clothes they don’t wear or just bought specifically for the store, of course with low prices because everyone should be able to look hot. there are crop tops, bandeau tops, all different length skirts, rompers, and even cute shoes. the aesthetics range from y2k to hippie to coquette to fairy grunge to mermaidcore to goth, with sizes ranging from 3XS to 5XL.
they have huge storage units of makeup and hair stuff that they gladly lend out to other campers. they even have dye and bleach from arctic fox and salon-grade brands. don’t worry about how they got it.
they regularly have movie nights using a projector with blankets, popcorn, and cuddle piles. their favorites to watch are mean girls, legally blonde, clueless, jennifer’s body (a halloween tradition), enchanted, the house bunny, but i’m a cheerleader, tangled, mama mia, the sisterhood of the traveling pants, and all three high school musicals (they know all the songs by heart, ofc).
the whole “nico was the first person who ever came out at camp” thing is literally the dumbest thing i’ve ever read, so that’s just not true and the aphrodite cabin has organized every pride event at camp for years now. no one knows how they do it or where they get all that glitter, and no one is brave enough to ask.
you need love advice? you’re questioning your sexuality and need to talk to someone about it? you need a girltalk session and some hypewomen? you need to make sure the harpies don’t get you when you and your partner sneak out to a secluded spot on the beach? they got u, babes, don’t even worry about it.
they all have perfumes and colognes customized to their signature scents.
their support for the trans community could rival the dionysus cabin. also they worship dylan mulvaney like the goddess she is because i worship her like the goddess she is, and i make the rules.
no one has better halloween costumes than then. no one. if you look as good as them, it’s because you borrowed supplies from them.
insanely good matchmakers.
when one of them is sad, they all stop everything they’re doing until their sibling feels better. that means skincare, hair-braiding trains, manicures while watching barbie movies, and those frosted sugar cookies. no, they will not, under any circumstances, participate in camp activities until they’re sure their sibling is okay.
their favorite show is sex education. when they watch it, they send the younger campers into the big house with a hephaestus-cabin-engineered ipad to watch monster high and ever after high until they’re done. dionysus does not approve of having to babysit, but after he went to chew out the rest of the cabin and found them in tears with mascara trails because they got to season 2, he stopped interfering.
drew and will got the two cabins together to bribe and beg chiron for eras tour tickets. it did not work (much to nico’s delight, who would’ve been persuaded into going by his boyfriend). in retaliation, they put pink hair dye in his shampoo, and the apollo cabin cursed him to randomly sing what he says with no warning. dionysus has never been so entertained.
they have no tolerance for pick-me girls or slut-shaming.
piper apologized to drew once she matured and started dating shel.
they all have phones that they hide from everyone else, complete with protection spells from the hecate cabin. they all have a family group chat and facetime basically every day when summer ends. shel and valentina are best friends now.
being the only boy, mitchell used to get bullied a lot by insecure middle school ares boys. that is, until his sisters caught wind and gave them hell. now, no one messes with mitchell, and especially not with his sisters.
they absolutely lose their shit when they realize some of the younger campers are too young to know one direction.
they’re closer to the apollo kids (and nico) than any other cabin.
they have a bookshelf full of nothing but romance. red, white, and royal blue, the falling on love montage, pride and prejudice, cemetery boys, the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, like a love story, heartstopper, the list goes on and on (no colleen hoover, though, yuck).
their acrylics and press-ons are deadly.
they have bunk beds, but more often than not you’ll find them sharing beds like they’re at a sleepover.
the cabin is extremely maximalist, with little disco balls, pink and lavender everywhere, fake flowers, and full-length mirrors because no, they’re not sharing.
because their mom is the goddess of love, they all identify as either bi, pan, queer, or don’t use labels. they just love love.
they all have matching “free britney” crop tops.

what do you think unit 919’s music tastes would be like?
hmmm okay
mog: girl would love goth music and also some sub genres of metal or punk. she's very pretentious about it. also she canonically enjoys the opera
hawthorne: rock. he does air guitar through all the good solos
cadence: rock and pop except she pretends she doesn't
anah: pop. loves it. i want her to dance around her room to it. give that girl a break
lam: some kind of really niche indie stuff
thaddea: death metal
francis: baroque
mahir: gregorian chanting i think he would really like a lot of music not in their language and take as an opportunity to practise
arch: also baroque and whatever the nevermoor equivalent is of ceilidh music for him to play along to on his fiddle
#nevermoor#morrigan crow#hawthorne swift#cadence blackburn#lambeth amara#anah kahlo#thaddea macleod#francis fitzwilliam#mahir ibrahim#archan tate#asks#regalllove#there is black ice at the heart of queue
