PERCY SAID THE THING NOW TOO!!!! HE SAID THE THING!!! I LOVE IT WHEN THEY SAY THE THING!!!

(and look at his face!! he's so soft!!! aaaaaa!!!)

[tartt9]

Jamie laughs once again at the tap to his forehead. "What about a 14? Right here?" He offers instead, tapping at his own right bicep. He doesn't mind getting tattoos for the people he loves - it's why he's kept his tattoo with Keeley even after they broke up. It's why he's been highly considering actually getting tattoos on his left arm - moons and suns, for his mum. And he's already made an appointment to get the Richmond greyhound on his chest. A tattoo for Dani would just make sense.

He lets Dani put the flower behind his ear, grinning widely. "Do I look pretty?" he asks, fishing for compliments, but Jamie Tartt has never been one for shame before. He shuts up after that, rare for him, but he wants to let Dani talk. "Oh..." he whispers, finally finding out the reason Dani had chosen 14. It makes sense. Of course it makes sense. If Jamie hadn't decided to stick with his Academy number upon his call up to City proper, picking his mother's birthday would've been an obvious choice. And if he wasn't so set on making a statement about Sam being one of the most brilliant, national-team-deserving players he's ever met, perhaps he'd have chosen her birthday when he played for England, too. [ But he likes 24. 24's sticking, even after Sam gets his inevitable call up. ] Jamie knows he's playing more like a 10 than a 9, these days, with Ted and Beard and Roy's take on total football, but he likes the 9 on him - Dani's right, it's his number. So, if the new gaffer [ whoever it may be, after Ted leaves, because Ted is leaving, and Jamie needs to wrap his head around that ] asks if Jamie wants to switch to 10 next season, he's going to say a firm thank you, but no thank you. 9 is forever. "Thanks for telling me that, Dani... I'm sure he'd be real proud of you. Especially when you play for Mexico. But maybe for us, too. Definitely for us, too."

Squeezing Dani's hand, Jamie's nose crinkles up slightly with a shake of his head. "Don't think I'd look fit with hair as long as yours and Trent's - I think you lot've got that covered for the whole club. Also Bumber, but his hair ain't as long as yours. By next season, it probably will be, though. So. Trent'll be gone, and he'll take his place, yeah? Two people with hair that flowing is the perfect number for us." Jamie speaks as if he's done maths about what percentage of the team should have what haircut - he hopes to Christ that no one decides they need a Lasso mustache next season.

"Alright, kid, if your hair starts to fall out, my opinion'a your face ain't gonna change. It's a good face. Hair or none."

“that will not be enough, mi amor. if you are beating mexico somehow, you will need to tattoo my name on your skin.” dani taps jamie's forehead once, to signify where he'd like the tattoo to go.

the apology is as sweet as it is unnecessary. dani plucks a flower from the bouquet he's yet to set down, placing it carefully behind one of jamie's ears. “you do not need to apologise, jamie tartt. i chose fourteen. it is the date my father was born, the fourteenth.” it was the kind of thing he thought about as a kid, picking a number that his father could easily recognise when looking down at him from the skies. dani had stuck with it ever since then. will probably stick with it until the day he won't need to wear a uniform at all anymore. “nine is a good number, but it is your number.” it had been difficult, at first, seeing the knee injury as anything but a setback. even now when it twinges during long matches or aches when it's cold. but with time it's been easier to see things from a different perspective, be thankful for the things that's been given to him as a result of it instead. jamie's helped a lot on that end without even realising.

all this touching... dani laughs once jamie's hand is free of his hair, latching onto it and threading his fingers through so he can hold onto his hand instead. “yes, it's pretty,” dani grins, tugging gently at one of the strands with his free hand, “but it's not long or... fluffy like mine or trent's. maybe if you grow out your hair a little longer, we will let you in the club.” trent seems the type to be tightlipped about his hair care secrets, though, so it might not be much of a club after all.

“i will hold you to that, jamie. when i am old and my hair starts to fall out, you are not allowed to take those words back.”

#Enemies To Lovers To Exes To Best Friends To Endgame= Slow Burn Perfection (A Perfect Glow Up)

[ajs-bookmark]

percy gave her riptide.

let me repeat that.

PERCY. GAVE. HER. RIPTIDE.

my man barely even hesitated. he’s known annabeth for what- a week ? and he already trusts her enough to give her his one most prized possession.

tack that on to the fact that he kept reassuring her that he was okay, because he knew that annabeth couldn’t bear to see another one of her friends die like that.

like he barely knows this random chick who shoved him into the lake and watched him get attacked by clarisse and told him he drooled in his sleep, but the one thing he knows is that she couldn’t live with the fact that he died the same way as thalia.

EUEUEU- I LOVE THEM AND I ALWAYS WILL- 😭❤️

I thought the audio would fit nice on them—

[wickmitz]

Do u actually ship rocky and mitzi?

to try and be as simple as possible, i suppose i do ship them ; i’m particularly drawn by their dynamic and have long since grown enamored with it … so, naturally, i enjoy turning them over in my head and shoving them together, seeing all the possible ways they fit and how they function when glued together. rocky’s feelings for mitzi are so intense and metaphorical that there’s a lot of ground to run with, honestly. it’s not a black and white relationship where they fit neatly under one label or another either, hence my constant use of the term ‘a secret third thing’ for them overall. there’s romance, obsession, desperation, platonic associations, and a thousand other factors embedded into what they have. rocky simply ‘seeing mitzi as a mother figure’ or ‘being totally in love with her in a traditional sense’ just doesn’t capture them with the justice they deserve. it’s more … muddled than that. rocky, at this point in time, is completely incapable of maintaining love anyway, and mitzi certainly isn’t any better either. in a context where i envision them together, that aspect is a big part of things : where they click together due to their inability to sustain a healthy and stereotypical romantic bond, and thus accidentally fuel each other’s unhappy paths. it’s easy to see how mitzi does this to rocky! but rocky is capable of doing it to her as well, what with his all-consuming need to be who she relies on and to restore the lackadaisy to it’s previous glory for himself and her. he enables her and she enables him, even if it’s subconscious and accidental. while there is undeniable fondness and care there, they are also walking down this path hand-in-hand, tugging each other along when one of then falters or pauses. so, to me, it’s not hard imagining things becoming closer and more intimate … who doesn’t want to be smashed together against someone who gives you all the validation you crave and never shuns you, twisting all your awful deeds into something good and believing you righteous at all times. it’s addicting! and natural. while rocky obviously would enjoy such a relationship, so would mitzi at this point in her life. where she’s exhausted and feels particularly ugly within, and is currently all alone.

they also would click in ways that wouldn’t force them to abandon how they currently go about romance. mitzi needs to spend a good portion of her day thinking about her dead husband and nobody else, meanwhile rocky is very enamored with being a knight in shining armor so to speak, only able to express himself through extreme devotion, a thing that ( as said by crew members on stream ) can’t singlehandedly keep a relationship afloat … normally. but mitzi can deal with rocky’s rather eccentric and destructive behavior, can take the only thing he can offer and accept it wholeheartedly, because she couldn’t handle anything more normal or mature right now. and rocky, despite his occasional displays of territorial behavior, never bats an eye at or feels inferior to mitzi’s atlas obsession. this wouldn’t be the case in other relationships, where both of them would have to change or grow in some way in order to keep the love stable and secure. there would be things they’d have to give up, or be vulnerable about, and both of them are too stubborn for that at this point. a random lover would always be a second thought compared to the lackadaisy.

( now, of course, i ship mitzi and rocky with other people! and i’m very interested in these bonds forming during canon’s events. but it’d either be an unhealthy relationship, due to everything i said above, or a happier sort of take on things : where mitzi and rocky are pulled from their minds’ unraveling edges and are both given the care, patience, and understanding they both need. one where they can set aside the lackadaisy for a moment or two, and can find genuine happiness somewhere else. i never see them as fully moving on from it, nor do i see mitzi fully giving up atlas or rocky fully giving up mitzi, but things can be softened and less insane. sometimes! )

now, is this healthy? no. but is this me saying they should be surgically removed from one another because they make each other ‘worse’? also no! i adore them in every sense of the word and acting like there aren’t positives attached to their dynamic would, frankly, be stupid of me. they are there for each other in their worse moments and approach each other with kindness, something they don’t really get from others anymore. they are genuinely happy to be in each other’s presence and have a habit of lifting each other up, or providing each other some much needed warmth on a bad day. you see it many times in the comic, situations where mitzi is devestated, and rocky rushes in to comfort her ; and he always succeeds in some way, wiggling that severe expression off her face and getting her to smile, even if it’s small and weak. and rocky loves that! it makes him happy to be able to ease her heartache and worries so. it makes him feel useful and needed, and she’s one of the only people in his life to give him even a sliver of praise here or there. here are some examples i can remember off the top of my head :

and while there isn’t many examples of mitzi praising rocky, she is also still one of the few people who shows concern over him and asks after him. there are also two scenes, in the pilot and in the comic, where rocky messes up big time, and mitzi has every right to be frustrated with him. she could yell, she could get mean, like rocky is so used to, but instead … she sucks it in and simply lets it go. this happens with the pig farmers, but also in the pilot most notably! where the second she realizes how hard rocky is taking her words, her reasonable and sympathetic irritation at things not working out, she backtracks. she forces those emotions away and simply says this, earnestly and kindly, and wipes the devestation off rocky’s face :

as much of an accidental negative influence they can have on each other, there’s also a more purposeful positive influence that is inherent in their dynamic. i wouldn’t ever want to dismiss that, nor do i enjoy when other people rush to do so themselves, claiming they’re simply no good for each other. well, they claim mitzi is a manipulative person who only sees rocky as a pawn, but i’ll pretend fans are critical of rocky’s many faults as well. the point is : they’re good for each other and to each other! they just happen to have a great capacity to cling and stay where they are rather than doing anything more beneficial or productive. any dynamic in lackadaisy can become toxic in a sense, given the fact that a majority of the characters are prone to indulging in their flaws and chasing what’s familar, what’s most comfortable, with little regard to anyone else. but i find that aspect interesting, and i love rocky/mitzi all the more for their accidental enabling and vastly obscured views.

the more romantic aspects aren’t really something i care too much about, overall. i play around with it and find scenarios where things can bloom in such a way, but them calling each other ‘boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend’ isn’t something i care for. i do not think mitzi would ever be attracted to rocky in a sappy lovesick way -- she’s above fawning as it is, and is rather methodical about things like passion or adoration nowadays anyway. her eyes can’t exactly sparkle upon seeing rocky spilling syrup all over himself nor can she sigh dreamily at his nonsensical, improv poetry spiels that just burst out of him like water through a broken dam. but they could soften at the corners and she could convince herself of something romantic if it held her the right way. if she felt battered enough to give into it, or was lonely enough to indulge herself in a place she knows she’s wanted. rocky, on the other hand, is a bit easier to imagine here! he would never say no to miss m. and actively wants to ‘keep’ her already … if they were to become an item, an obscure, happenstance item, than he’d embrace it full heartedly! it’s been well established rocky isn’t one to turn down love or affection, so to get it from mitzi of all people? it’d be extremely ooc to even pretend he’d regret it or shy away. he loves her, of course he does, his beautiful dionysus : who unlocks her doors for him to enter, who smiles upon him with her wine soaked lips, who brushes a dainty paw across his shoulder and sings him praises like it doesn’t pain her to say them. she is warm and comforting and soft, and rocky is possessed by a maddening desire to wrap every spaghetti limb he has around her, and never let her go. again, his love is nothing short of all-consuming and obsessive where mitzi is concerned. her devoted acolyte! it would be simple to see how he’d get here in comparison to mitzi’s more wounded and guarded heart. i don’t think rocky fully loves her in only a romantic sense, however! i’m a firm believer that it is a mix of romantic and platonic feelings, an awkward and intensive blend of the two, this sort of combination that isn’t easy to sort through. he does take comfort in the fact she reminds him of a motherly figure, just as much as he genuinely finds her attractive and appealing in a puppy love kind of way. there’s also the fact that rocky is keen on lying to mitzi and wearing masks around her in the name of seeming more amazing in her eyes -- the fact his love for her is metaphorical and personal in equal measure, and the fact mitzi hides herself away from everyone around her. there would be a lot of untangling! a lot of pretending. this is a ship that will always have a multitude of layers and caveats attached to it, so to speak.

but that excites me! i like it! i love a dynamic that i could write endlessly about no matter the context it’s being framed in! how utterly unsurprising it is that the first lackadaisy fic i thought of was one that would focus heavily on these two and what’s happening between them, what could happen. mitzi wallowing in her self-inflicted misery while rocky prowls around her, begging to be useful to her while simultaneously chasing off a suitor of hers that he cannot stand to let near, is quite the image in my mind, and is one i always have looping around in the back of my head. the parallels to atlas/mordecai are an added bonus to this! if rocky is doomed by the narrative then mitzi is the narrative to which he’s bleeding himself upon, you know? that, as well as his own insecure delusions. mitzi, similarly, would easily waste away to nothing or get herself killed while trying to pursue her nostalgic ambitions if it weren’t for rocky being so willing to do the dangerous stuff for her. i think about how mitzi almost got herself killed in skedaddle and how rocky rushed to save her. while zib and ivy care for mitzi, and viktor is obligated to protect her, they are not as quick as rocky is -- nor as recklessly devoted to the point of readily given sacrifice.

anyway! i’m very fond of them, and there are so many scenes and other aspects of their characters that i could spend ages pouring over. this is, genuinely, merely a fraction of my thoughts on them. although i do hope i answered your question, anon! i got a bit carried away and i’m sure a lot of this is hard to parse through by default, but oh well!

[butraura]

the way the guys put their careers on the lines (including Tommy) in order to have Hen's back and save Bobby and Athena makes me violently emotional.

that's their FAMILY. that's it. They'd have catapulted into an active volcano if they thought it was the only way to save them.

"Who cares!?" is such a great motto for the 118. The irony of it being that they care so much that they will risk everything at any given moment. The irony of it being that they care so much that they dive head first into anything. THEY care.

i just love them so much. the found family trope is genuinely one of my favourites and they've done it so well in 9-1-1
