#if i got something wrong tell me

[artemis-the-author]

I've seen people blame Percy for Bianca's death. I've seen people hate on Nico for how he reacted and the things he did in TLO. I've seen people hate on Percy for how he reacted to the whole thing in the Underworld.

I am fucking annoyed.

Percy, fourteen years old, saw this child, and promised to do his best to keep his sister safe. He never promised to bring her back alive. Only to do his best. Percy did not put a bow and arrow in her hand, Percy did not choose her to go on the quest. Percy came up with a plan to defeat Talos, a plan he would follow through himself, but Bianca insisted she do it, because it was her fault Talos was even attacking them (make no mistake, I am not blaming Bianca for anything, either. This was a bunch of children having to choose between bad and worse).

Percy, fourteen years old, just had to tell a kid his sister, his only sister, is dead. Percy, just back from a quest where he saw two people die, really die, for the first time, is given the responsibility of breaking it to Nico that his only family is dead and gone. They had a kid tell another kid about the other kid now having no sister. Not Chiron, the only real adult, not one of the older counselors who've probably had to do this before. No, they had someone who is still reeling from his own grief break the news.

Percy, fifteen almost sixteen, on the brink of a war he's convinced he's going to die in, just got betrayed. Percy, who is under the constant stress of making a choice that will either lead to destruction or safety, just got betrayed. He is not in a state of mind to consider the variables, to consider what Nico's thought process was. He is a child with the weight of the world on his shoulders (pun not intended), all he sees now is betrayal.

Nico, ten (eleven, twelve? The timeline is weird) years old, made Percy promise that he'd try his best to bring his sister back. To Nico, that's a guarantee that Bianca is coming back, because this amazing, strong, boy already saved them once. He cannot conceive that Percy's best may not be enough.

Nico, ten years old, just found out his sister is dead. Percy (amazing, beautiful, strong, perfect), lied to him. Percy got his sister killed. Percy promised he would bring her back, and then he didn't. It's all Percy's fault, and Nico hates hates hates him (he tells himself he hates Percy, because if he doesn’t then what kind of brother is he? If he doesn't hate Percy with all the hate he has, then is he a good brother to Bianca? Bianca, who left him the first chance she got, who abandoned him.)

Nico, eleven (twelve? thirteen?) years old, just got promised information about his mother. He just has to bring Percy Jackson to the Underworld. He already wants Percy to come down and get Achillies curse, this will just be a detour. But then his father locks Percy away and Nico exhausts himself putting all the guards to sleep so he can get Percy free. But when he does all he gets is a sword to the throat, and later Percy telling him to stay in the Underworld to convince his father to join the war. A dismissal disguised as a war strategy.

And Bianca. Bianca was twelve, and she had to take care of her brother. Bianca was twelve, and she was given the responsibility to be a parent. Bianca wanted to be a child, not a parent. So no matter how much she loved her brother, no matter how much she wants him to be safe and sound, she joins the Hunters of Artemis. She can finally be free, and she takes the chance no matter how much it pains her to see her brother draw away. So she picks up a little gift for him, on her quest, the only figurine he does not have. But then the little gift gets them attacked, and, ultimately, killed.

These are children. These children, presented with circumstances and choices and challenges an adult would break under, are not stable enough to consider every thought, every variable, every circumstance that surrounded every decision made by others. They're under constant stress and pressure and they cannot do this in a 'sensible' way because there are things happening to and around them and they are not stable. Especially at those specific moments.

I've seen a lot of different takes on Fear Toxin/other fear causing stuff (Yellow Lanterns Ring or something)(later just called Fear Toxin cause I'm lazy) but here is another one.

Danny seems like he isn't affected by Fear Toxin because his biggest fear is that his accident changed him so much he is no longer human, he can no longer truly experience human things.

So when he gets lungful of fear Toxin, he feels normal. He was antsy before, because c'mon, it's a rogue attack but it's not worse. Or so he thought. Because the anxiety lingers. Not enough to register as abnormal just this slight hypervigilance that makes you see things about yourself and your surroundings that you'd never realize otherwise. He'd realize he doesn't blink as often. He'd realize that if he doesn't consciously focus, he sometimes seems to not touch the ground. Forgets to breathe. He can't feel his own pulse at time. He'd realize people will miss him when he's walking down the street as if he was invisible (people just don't care about everyone they pass by). When he'd look straight into his reflection, he'd look slightly to the left. Not enough to actually name anything that was wrong but just stretched enough to fall on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. If he just caught his reflection in the peripheral vision, it'd be vaguely shadowy creature with glowing green eyes and white smoke instead of hair. Overall he'd be just wrong enough to be distinctly not human.

For everyone else, he'd be just a dude. Literally couldn't find more normal dude than this dude. Will pass as absolutely normal human unless someone is specifically looking for ecto-ghost stuff. Even most magic users wouldn't clock him at the glance

Tldr: Fear Toxin makes Danny perceive himself as some sort of eldritch horror but not enough to make him believe he'd actually be affected, while from outside perspective he's Just A Dude™

*clasps your shoulders gently and looks you straight in the eye*

Keferon. Please read Ninth by Kyn on AO3. I think you would love it very much. It has a large chapter count, but don't be intimidated, it's very easy to get into. It is currently unfinished, but is being updated regularly.

You are the seventh person that recommended this fic to me so ahahahaha yeah

I’m doing great Help I hate some parts of it but I love the other parts I’m spinning in the blender

…..I made the moodboard….

Husk: Uh-what? No, you really shouldn't.

Pentious: What? Why not?

Husk: Angel is a dumbass. He doesn't know shit about love.

Pentious: He's literally your boyfriend.

Husk: That's exactly how I know that.

can't express accurately how happy it makes me that c.s. lewis did not leave room for many interpretations in narnia. it's christian and you can't get around it. susan chose to care more about worldly things than what matters and he said what he said. the lion is Jesus. evil is evil and good is good and people have to choose. and that makes some readers angry because it's nearly impossible to ignore and they want to ignore it. they want it to be something else and they can't make it something else without making it not narnia. love that. that is doing it right

July 29-31, 2023 - An angel leaves his boyfriend and gets sent to turbohell turboheaven.

Good Omens spoilers ahead.

It looks like we're stepping up from queerbaiting. Now the gays get to kiss on screen only to break up. [x]

Good Omens' fans are Going Through It. Season 2 released on July 28th and it ended with the angel Aziraphale getting a promotion and going to Heaven, leaving his demon boyfriend on Earth after their first kiss.

This naturally led to the show trending. Alongside it, Our Flag Means Death and Supernatural started trending as well. The fans of all three shows are crying in each other's arms. [x] [x] [x]

To all fans of the show, please accept my deepest condolences. Below are also screenshots of recent Neil Gaiman's tweets, so there's still hope [x] [x] [x] [x].

A disclaimer: I did not see spn trending yesterday personally, but I wasn't on tumblr a lot and I did get an ask specifically about it, so given the circumstances, the destiel meme, and today's trend, it's very likely that it trended yesterday, so I'm including it this time.

Yjh things the Webtoon 'forgot' to mention or to point out bc they hate novel yjh

Warning for vague webtoon spoilers ig?? No spoilery names are named and no unreleased scenarios are mentioned/specified btw but I thought I'd add this warning just in case :)

He waited three days on the bridge for kdj to resurface after he dropped him in the Ichytosaurs mouth. Just. Waited there.

He smiles when Kdj tries his food and says it's good (it's more like a tiny smug smile tbh)

He is a WORRIER. Man worries about everything, but sucks at expressing it through actions bc that's when he's most easily misunderstood. It is EXTREMELY easy to misunderstand his actions unless the other characters ask him what he's doing and why [after he explains, he turns out to be actually really thoughtful tbh]

When he tells 41st round shin yoosung to "quit her blabbering"...he wasn't that harsh in the novel. The line was changed (still don't know why) but originally he said something about not having enough time, and wasn't a complete asshole.

Also during that same arc/scene it was revealed that he woke her up because he genuinely didn't think she'd attack him/be mad at him iirc, so it wasn't him being stupid, just somewhat naive

When Iris called KDJ ugly he actually stepped forward and intimidated her by glaring so she'd stop talking :) because he sensed fighting spirit in her and he decided to react lmao

His eyebrow moves similarly to a caterpillar when he's about to make an important decision (note: kdj points this out in the novel because he's always staring at yjh I swear to god there's proof)

Yjh puts on a 'cool' face when he's been caught or called out after trying to be sneaky (he's SO BAD at being sneaky istg I love this man so much)

He sometimes uses his skills for stupid and petty shit *said lovingly with heart eyes*

He's more likely to give someone/an NPC a quick death than to make them suffer until they die

He always goes along with KDJ's plans, even though Kdj barely tells him ANYTHING about them ever 😭 He glares but still goes along with them I NEED Y'ALL TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS- /lh

He drags his sword on the ground when he's happy/satisfied with something, or generally in a good mood. Also Loves to clean his sword (I think the webtoon added a scene of him cleaning the sword like. once)

He loves his sister more than anything (we haven't seen a lot of scenes with yoo mia AND yjh in the webtoon yet but I have high expectations for those knowing how much he adores her in the novel)

Mans RUNS to help every time kdj is in danger, unless he genuinely thinks kdj 1) can handle the situation himself or 2) deserves the punishment

He has MONOLOGUES in his head even though he only ever says like two sentences thakrhsjfjb, and is very eloquent when given the chance to explain his thought process/reasoning

[which kdj rarely lets him do. bc he's hellbent on doing the talking and most other characters don't expect yjh to talk anyway]

The hand holding scene that was turned into a weird wrist holding scene? Yes originally they held hands (he wasn't as angry then either)

He's a serial texter and will spam message people

He loves dumplings

He gets jealous when other people monopolize Dokja's attention for too long (also canon, ex: Sangah, [redacted 1], sometimes han sooyoung, [redacted 2], [redacted 3] 💀 and WILL glare at Kdj or demand answers depending on how severe the transgression is)

He's tired. So, so tired.

HE CAN LAUGH

he doesn't let Han Sooyoung live out of pride/not wanting to lose to kdj (???? what even was that). he lets her live because he doesn't want kdj to think poorly of him / alternatively he doesn't want to lose him as an ally. Not everything is about pride with him 🫠

he looks embarrassed after hearing yoo mia tell him he looks "happy when you talk about [kdj]". the narration also gives her statement some credibility, because "she knows him well since she's his sister". but of course they made him look angry instead of embarrassed 🙄 bc god forbid he shows any other facial expression ever

He's nosy (again: said lovingly with heart eyes). You'll notice how even when he pretends not to care, he'll still stick around to see how things develop/gather info on 'important' stuff. If he's not interested, he'll just leave, bc he's the kind of guy to just do that. So if he doesn't leave, even if he's pretending not to care... you see where I'm going with this

He has a sense of humor, believe it or not (though most of the time he's hilarious without meaning to)

When [redacted] asked yoo joonghyuk what his deal was with kdj and why he wanted him in his group he said "kdj is necessary for this world. I need him." but webtoon decided to skip that line 🫠

Yjh says "I guess your mother doesn't like me" instead of this "like mother like son" bullshit, because the second one implies dokja doesn't like him. which couldn't be farther from the truth

Yoo Joonghyuk actually looks distraught when he realizes he's the one that has to kill kdj. To the point kdj has to tell him to not make that face.

He holds him tenderly as kdj falls, and tries to hang onto him as he's dragged away.

I'd add more but the rest is spoilers fhajhrjeka so yeah I'll just wait to see what webtoon does first and I'll update this as they go

[antiqueberry]

Okay Sitcom au community

So from my understanding Alex is already in the early stages of their transformation by the time the rescue Winfrey, right?

And Winfrey doesn’t attack them because they smell Clyde on Alex, right?

So does Winfrey just assume that Alex is a baby veldigun? And just accepts that they and Clyde have a kid now?

Because that would be the funniest thing ever.

thinking about kab and the thing about her i think is she knows just enough to keep herself safe Generally but not enough to really predict what would happen should something more... complicated??? unforeseen??? idk whats the right word to use but something not covered by someones reputation and/or vids happen, believe it or not this also affects her view of clownpierce (we'll get to that)

for example, mapicc has a reputation for being an violent, angry, & impulsive guy and nothing else which makes sense but is incredibly surface level and something that only really works if you dont have a lot of experience working with him

another is reddoons, his betrayal after the base incident while shocking is not unforeseen but his reputation as being a guy whos seen as being a reasonable person whos fairly loyal to his team made it seem like something he wouldnt do even tho it absolutely is

regarding how it affects her view of clown, since he isnt perfectly aligned with his reputation she instead pivots in the complete opposite direction and forgiving basically every crime he does even tho hes something much more mild and complicated than either his reputation or her view of him will ever be (think madonna-whore complex which is especially obvious when it comes to kabs vs woogies view of him)

another side effect of this Just Enough amount of knowledge aside from being blinded by her own expectations is that it frustrates ppl who think shes oversimplificating things (like me and seemingly several other tumblr users as well) especially when she claims that shes objectively correct and the smartest in the room at any given moment

how this roughness in her analysis affects her in the server still has yet to be fully seen but we do still have at least a couple months until the end but 'til then shes just gonna keep stumbling as more and more complicated situations pop up as is typical in lifesteal to happen and eventually shes gonna have to learn to adapt or else she'll be suffering the consequences one way or another
