My therapist asked me which characters I draw and what I have in common with them. So I talked about our Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus and he asked me to explain the story's plot.

The session was about to end in ten minutes.

How do you explain all of.....THIS in ten fucking minutes?😭

Puella Magi Madoka Magica in a nutshell

3 for Morinne and Solas :3

hehehe this was a fun one - thank you bestie!!

3. Reading to them, especially if it's until they fall asleep

He finds her in his bed, blankets pooled around her waist and reading silently by candlelight, after his hands finally grow too tired to continue painting long after the rest of the fortress has found their way to bed. It’s not unusual that she stay with him into the late hours of the evening, going over missives and letters from across Thedas as he scrapes paint and casts her actions in color and pigment on the walls of the rotunda. 

Sometimes she’ll hum or quietly sing songs from her childhood as she works, and he drinks in every moment like the last drops of water before the desert, like they might be the most precious sounds to ever reach his ears. Morinne, so lost in her work or in thought that she begins to sing, has become the most precious treat that comes from their late nights together. 

Tonight, she decided to settle for reading in bed, and when he expected her to kiss him goodnight and head for the doors toward her rooms, he's surprised to watch her disappear toward his instead. 

“Mother Giselle is a cruel, awful woman,” Morinne announces as he enters, scowling as she turns a page. He leans over the bed to push up the book, looking at the cover of what she’s spent the last hour or two reading. 

“A History of the Chantry?” He scoffs, reaching for a rag to wipe the last of the paint from his nails. “Did she demand an education in the history of the holy mantle she bestowed upon you?”

“Something like that,” she yawns, “but I’m fighting through every page, rereading every paragraph three times and I don’t think I’ve actually taken in any new information.”

He pulls off his tunic, discarding it to the pile of laundry that lingers in the darkest corner of the room, then switches his leggings for a pair of loose linen sleep pants before crawling under the sheets beside her, tugging her body flush against his. 

“I' ha've made it to the betrothal of Andraste and the Maker, if you’d care to try and learn with me,” she sighs, settling in at his side, her head resting on his shoulder. The smell of her hair is more potent than anything a desire demon might dream up, more comforting than any home he’s ever known. Morinne passes the book to him, holding open where she finished reading, and he scans the page before taking a breath and reading. 

“‘Enraptured by the melodic sound of her voice as she sang to the heavens for guidance, the Maker Himself appeared to Andraste and proposed that she come with Him,’” her fingers trace patterns along his chest as he reads, “‘leaving behind the flawed world of humanity. In her wisdom, Andraste pleaded with the Maker to return to His people and create paradise in the world of men. The Maker agreed, but only if all of the world would turn away from the worship of false gods and accept the Maker's divine commandments.’”

“It’s almost romantic,” she murmurs against him, voice growing heavy with sleep. “Especially if you forget about the Exalted March and whatnot that comes next.”

He continues reading aloud for twenty minutes, one hand propping the book open as the other rubs circles along her back until he hears the even puffs of her breath in sleep. He looks down at her, unable to keep the smile from his face when he sees her lips jutted out in a pout, pressed against him. 

Solas reads one final line from the chapter, finishing it quietly and only for himself, before tugging on the candle flames and leaving the room dark and quiet for sleep. 

“‘Of course, the human heart is more powerful than the greatest weapon, and when wounded, it is capable of the blackest of deeds.’”

It plays through his mind as he turns over, burying his face in the crook of Morinne’s neck.

People who split Rocky and Freckle up have lost the plot imo. They're codependent. Rocky makes terrible decisions for Freckle to live with and Freckle loves Rocky so much he's going down with him. Rocky took him on one (1) adventure and Freckle literally snuck into Lackadaisy just to see his cousin play. Freckle is going to hell specifically for Rocky and he thinks Rocky hangs the stars in the sky.

Hey, since you’re an Italian PJO Nico Di Angelo fan, you’ve probably read ‘Un Natale Mezzosangue’, right? What’s your opinion on it?

My mind totally cancelled it because of how strange it was. I had to blink trice and ask myself why the title was in italian before remembering and going "Ah. That-",that's how bad it was for me.

So,first off first,I wasn't aware when he wrote it and since I don't buy books outside of the main timeline I had to read it in english online (I couldn't find the original version so I went for the translation). But it's wild that it got published in one of our most famous newspapers,sometimes I still ask myself how it was even possible. It also surprised me that Riordan was able to write a whole short story in italian,since it's a very difficult language to understand. We have a lot of verbs and phraseologies that even native speakers struggle with,and I know he is fluent in it and it wasn't that long but it's still impressive.

Anyway,I don't really understand the timeline with this one. It was published in 2020,a couple of days before Christmas (because it's a Christmas special of course),but I also remember that in the same year,a couple of months before,he completed TOA,so it must have been after the serie ended. If it's canon,of course. But the timeline is screwed anyway because the whole short story was set during COVID-19,while from TLT we can assume the whole story was set during the early years of 2000. Nothing new anyway,since we never specified a timeline and Riordan mixed everything up like always. Guess this happens when you don't establish a real timeline.

The plot? Uncalled for. I'm sorry but going to Florence just to find a gift for Annabeth,while also having Nico helping you? Naaah. I think it was a bit overkill,but maybe it's just me. Percy is the type of guy that wants the best for his girlfriend,and he did say that he thought they were going somewhere else,but going all out (and in other continents too apparently) for a gift that you can find in the US in whatever place you want? Idk. Again,maybe it's just me. Besides,Nico here literally hijacked the original plan.

The most important thing of the whole short story is the information it gave us about their biology: demigds cannot get sick from COVID-19 but they can still spread it. Which is interesting because it was a virus,so this means that demigods are immune to illnesses (as in,even if they are infected they don't feel it and are completely fine) but can still carry them around and pass them to mortals.

What I didn't like is that Percy was fine with shadow traveling before,but now he doesn't like it?? In TLO,in the chapter "My cookies get scorched" he described the experience as the following:

"I don't recommend shadow travel if you're scared of:

a) The dark

b) Cold shivers up your spine

c) Strange noises

d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off

In other words,I thought it was awesome".

But in this short story it's:"he had never liked shadow-travelling". I'm sorry but what was I even reading at this point? Percy was one of the few people that didn't find shadow-travelling creepy at the start,and actually enjoyed it,only to have that trait completely removed??? This is just another reason for Riordan to reread his books or have someone do it for him and point him to any mistakes.

A good thing is that it got hinted that Nico actually spent a bit of time in Florence (even if it's off-screen),otherwise he wouldn't have known where to take Percy,and I'm happy about it. One of my major complaints about HoO is how we never got to see his nationality explored more,especially with the trip to Venice and how Europe (and Italy) got treated as this extremely hardcore survival land. I'm glad to see that he is still in touch with his heritage and is visiting Italy.

Another nonsense in this short story is Charu. I swear I had to reread that part multiple times,and I had to find another translation to make sure I was actually reading it right and there wasn't a mistake,and in fact it was real. Listen,I love how many pantheons Riordan tries to involve in his universe,but the etruscan gods too??? Isn't it a bit too much,especially because there are so many gods already and other than the Greek Pantheon (and a bit of the roman),every other Pantheon is kinda forgotten?? Why add another one??

It makes a bit sense historical speaking,because the Etruscans lived in Tuscany. The region was called "Etruria" at the start,but then it got changed to "Tuscia" because the Romans called the Etruscans "Tusci" and in the end it became "Tuscany" thanks to the roman's influence (the name derives from Latin btw). The thing is,the change started happening in the III century B.C. Italy was (and still is) extremely influenced by both Greece and the Roman Empire,so it's impossible for an Etruscan god to still be around,especially if there aren't any worshipers or believers. Well,I guess that Nico count as one now,but all the centuries before? Especially during the Roman Empire? How did bro survive to tell the story??

Only thing I liked is that he is connected to the Underworld and he and Nico already knew each other because of that connection. If Riordan wants to have a proper crossover,we know what character he needs to use (he will still continue to use Percy even if Nico is right there and can make it possible without any problems. Can you imagine Nico and Anubis in the same room? Because I can). Also,Dante? Really? That one was funny but if we take into consideration the historical era,and the fact that he wrote the Divine Comedy based on Christianity and Catholic theology,then it doesn't make any sense.

Also,why would an ancient god ask about Christmas?? And Percy's answer?? Not that it wasn't bad but I felt like the whole conversation was kinda...idk,useless? Usually when gods ask him some questions there is always going on,but here is just that.

"Why would I celebrate Christmas?"

"Idk,it's for everyone and we need to be vigilant and optimistic"

"Good answer".

That's basically it. But I think it was more about what was happening with COVID-19 a time,especially with the pandemic and the increasing deaths. Gotta give people hopes in some ways.

Anyway,the gift itself is just a golden bracelet with a lot of keys that Percy could have found in whatever jewelry store he visited. But since it was made by a god,Charu hinted that the keys can open and solve a lot of problems,so I'm guessing they are going to help Annbeth in the future (if it's canon).

I like how they wished each other a merry christmas (given the last one they had together–) but I also don't like the very end,because what do you mean Nico called Percy "Seaweed brain"? I had to double check that part multiple times (again) because,what the hell? I'm sorry,even if now they are a bit closer than before,Nico would never. I refuse to believe that he even said that.

It felt like Riordan tried to write their dynamic forgetting about all the things that happened before. Last time they properly saw each other was when Nico told him he had a crush on him,and Percy was extremely confused (idk if they meet again at the end of TOA since in THO Nico was K.O. and Percy was trying to save the day),so they should be at least a bit awkward with each other. Especially with how intense things between them normally are,even without the factor crush involved. But nope. W the character and dynamic developments for those two,apparently they can still be close friends even after Percy realized he was shitty to Nico in HoH and without having Nico feeling awkward about his crush reveal (not to talk about all the other things-).

Anyway,the whole thing was a fever dream that I often forget happened (thanks to my brain for that) and that I also don't like aside for a few things. This short story is just another example of the inconsistency in Riordan's writing and the necessity he has to go and reread his books. At this point bro will write everything without even checking if it's true or not. If Nico one day ends up telling how much he liked Albania I won't be surprised. The whole thing was honestly unnecessary,especially with the inclusion of another pantheon (fortunately is only just a god and is connected to the Underworld) but maybe I'm more defensive because it's my culture.
