#i'm gonna go cry some more

10/10.

The purposeful shifts in layout. The usage of caps and bold/cursive lettering. This book makes the syntaxic and semantic part of my linguistic heart soar. It's everything I didn't know I needed.

Look what I was able to buy secondhand.. 😏😍

The font is so small compared to my Kindle. One chapter in and I already have a headache, lol

i've always had this hc that romans are a lot more neutral about the gods than the greeks. looking at the books, it very much feels like a transactional relationship between the romans and the gods. the gods ask and the romans do. they take care of the temples, they make offerings, they pray when they need something, and then they go about their lives. and so i've always believed that when a new roman demigod makes their way to cj, the older demigods/legacies/civilians always tell them not to rely on the gods for anything.

don't think of them like they have feelings, they'll say, the gods take what they want and we dutifully give. more importantly, don't rely on them. if you have a godly parent, no you don't. you have someone who donated sperm or carried you. they care as long as you can give back. and being favored by them is a sentence worse than death. live unnoticed.

then do you think they tried to tell jason grace (youngest in the legion for the longest time, rome's child, jupiter's son, juno's champion) this and he didn't believe them? do think he couldn't believe them not when he was juno's champion? not when he was lupa's youngest? not when he was rome's favored child down to his bone? not when he was their dutiful soldier, their golden boy, their saving grace?

years later, standing on the battlefield after the second giant war, do you think jason grace,

(no sense of self, no personality, no memories, no past, nothing except his loyalty and his duty to rome, its people and its gods)

looked at percy jackson

(memories restored, sense of self intact, girlfriend who never stopped looking, everything even without being overly loyal to gods)

and wondered what his faith got him?

Reading "The Never-Ending Sacrifice" together makes the experience somewhat bearable. 😌

everything about Gavriil feels suffocating.

how his presence alone can be almost overwhelming, how his massive body cages you everytime without a chance to escape. you wouldn't dare to try anyway, knowing that you don't even have a say against a creature of his caliber. he will find you. in your dreams, in your nightmares. in your room.

how he will be intense and vague about everything just for the sake of it; to confuse you further, to see the conflict of emotions in your eyes merge with arousal. eventually your hesitance turns into acceptance, a desperate need to feel his hands all over you. and he will be oh so grateful to fulfill that desire.

how his thick tongue pushes past your lips and into your mouth, reaching almost the back of your throat, relishing in the muffled little sounds you make. your drool mixed with his saliva drips down your chin, and your hazy eyes look up at him when he finally pulls away, giving you a second to breathe.

how his hips are slamming into you relentlessly, your wetness and lack of resistance allowing him to move almost effortlessly. forced to hold onto him for dear life instead of pushing away. all of your morals and principles are being tossed out of the window every single time he comes to you. he has you where he wants you, and will not stop until he feels like you can't take it anymore.

and how in the morning he vanishes away, leaving you guessing: was it just another wet dream? but the cold stickiness between your legs tells you more than you need to know.

guys i'm over 70% of the way through Night Watch right now and.....god I don't even know what to say. i still have 1/4 of the book left but i think my life has been changed.........they're waving the flags of Ankh-Morpork and singing the national anthem at the barricades because they are fighting for the city. they aren't rebelling against the city, they're fighting to fix it.....they're fighting for truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg..........the government is trying to name them enemies of the state but....that's just not what they are. they are The People of Ankh-Morpork, and they're rebelling against the injustice that's become ingrained in society, not against society itself...........

Actually I'm not leaving this in chat with my friend

7am, eating cold leftover teriyaki stir-fry for breakfast and crying over blorbos

when my roommates put things back in the kitchen incorrectly it makes me frustrated and angry. apparently, did you know, this is not a thing all or most humans experience ? some people don't have an intense emotional reaction to things not being stacked in the optimal way, or pans not being put back in their "usual" spot. did you know this. did you.

I made a sort-of open terrarium for my mum's orchid, in a vase used at my mum's funeral, and with some gemstones/crystals I found in my mum's craft stash. I hope my mum can see it from the afterlife and likes it.

Sowing seeds of discontent and disharmony by hanging up on my parents birthday phone call the second my mom asked if I gained weight. Hope that sits badly on their minds while they think about how that's the first call I've engaged with them in 2 months and it was for the dogs birthday. Dad scrambling to text me for my mom that she didn't mean it. Like fuck I told her I've been having a rough month and day. She couldn't keep it to herself that badly. Fucks sake

"I only thought you might want to leave your comrades with a heroic, selfless image..." / "I did spare you the pain of damning them openly." (Endgame: Grima, depending on whether you choose no/yes to "Submit to Grima?") and "You know, the man/woman who used to control this body loved your father. He/She would have died to protect Chrom. And in sending Chrom away just now, his/her spirit has finally perished." (The Future Past 3) hit so much harder when you look at them together. When you realize that Grima is just repeating the same trick. When you remember that everyone in the original timeline believed Robin betrayed Chrom.

Once you see it, you really can't unsee it. Despite imposing their will on the past to force fate to stay the same, there was clearly ONE thing Grima very much wanted to change.

Don't mind me, I'm just sobbing about Grima again 😭😭😭😭
