Percy any time he faces the demigods that joined Kronos: I'll try to just knock them out or let them escape somehow. They are kids and I understand why they chose the side they did... I'll listen to them even when they try to kill me. I'll use my one wish to the gods to try to improve their lives and get their godly parents the recognition they deserve/need/want

Alabaster: I wish I could give that son of poseidon what he deserves.

thinking about Nico adjusting to letting himself miss and long for the people he loves. based on these bits from the sun and the star:

" As Nico and Will followed the trogs, he thought about how much he missed Hazel. He was learning to make peace with that feeling. It was okay for him to miss people because that meant he wanted them around in his life. That idea was *very* new for him- he was used to either pushing people away or watching them recoil from his presence." *

" That was the most surreal thing of all... Was he happy? Nico wasn't very familiar with the sensation, but he couldn't deny that he felt wonderful in Will's presence. He even longed for the son of Apollo when they were apart. A funny thing had happened as the two grew closer: Nico suddenly understood all those cheesy, sappy love songs he'd always hated."

Eddie obviously knows how to sew (hes not only dirt-poor living off of a single consistent paycheck and whatever he earns selling drugs, but hes also a punk- theres no way he DOESNT know how to sew), but steve most definitely does. not. one of his shirts get a hole and he throws it out.

When eddie first witnesses this, hes fucking MORTIFIED and ends up digging a t-shirt out of the trash and sewing the hole closed and fixing the loose stitching on the hem and gives steve a lecture about not wasting fabric and money.

And from then on, steve just shows up at the munson household every now and then with various clothes in his arms, asking eddie to fix them for him.

the third semester of p5r is wild if you think about it from sumire's perspective, and that's without even getting into the whole sumire/kasumi thing.

imagine you wake up one day and the entire world's a little bit fucked up for some reason. you see a building flickering in and out of existence (the same one where you awoke to some crazy JJBA stand powers, except last time it wasn't visable from the outside). so you call your friend/crush (??) because he knows more about this shit than you do, and he shows up with the idol and ace detective, trademarked 'pleasant-boy' goro akechi?? for some reason??? but hey, if he knows about the metaverse then that's good enough for you. he's a nice enough guy anyway but then you get INTO the metaverse, and his outfit is the edgiest thing you've ever seen, and the moment you get into a fight he's releasing what looks like years of pent up rage by screaming and laughing maniacally while absolutely tearing through shadows. and hes flirting (?) with your friend/crush (??) the whole time

but while he's literally calling your friend/crush (?) a loser and an idiot straight to his face, the meanest thing he calls you is a scardy-cat. he never refers to you by your first name and always uses the honorific '-san,' even while he's yelling. he commentates on every one of your kills like a deranged and zealous sports commentator. you think he respects you (???) youre not sure

YOOOO DEMA YOU LIKE ARCANE???!! omg who's your favorite character??? and favorite moment(s) from s1??? (and fav ship too 👀 👀) will you draw for Arcane in the future???? (peak show with peak art =perfection, just saying)

Anon, you have the. Best. Timing. Ever. I literally just finished an Arcane artstyle study with Katara of the Undercity as a subject!

My favorite Arcane character is and forever shall be Ekko (best boy). Other faves are Viktor (chronic illness baby) and Jinx (trauma gremlin).

As for the S1 scene... Besides the finale and that breathtaking Guns for Hire sequence? The Ekko/Jinx fight from ep 7. It broke me. (And turned me into a Timebomb shipper. Which was arguably worse.)

Okay, so, been reading some good scumplane (OG!Shen Qingqiu/Airplane) lately, because in this house we support Airplane being loved by terrifying/terrifyingly hot men, but also, like... I do love Moshang just so so much as a ship.

And all this has awoken a mighty need in me.

A need for a Moshangjiu fic with scumplane getting established first and then bringing our favorite popsicle in on things.

Anyway, scenario! Shen Qingqiu starts noticing Shang Qinghua when they're disciples via the classic scenario of being smart enough to realize something is fishy about SQH being the only survivor of a demon attack, begins paying attention to his most anxious shidi, accidentally shows his most anxious shidi the simplest of Human Kindness, accidentally becomes shidi's favorite shixiong, accidentally becomes friends with shidi, accidentally catches feelings. Continues being a Sneaky Bastard in order to figure out what shidi is up to (and now also to confirm shidi is single).

Ah, shidi is entangled with an Ice Demon. This shixiong will make use of his scholarly peak's library to learn all and then decide to- wait. Wait, it's super violent by human standards, but is it- is this demon attempting to... court shidi?

...

Not if SQQ dates him first he's not!!!

There follows a whirlwind romance between SQQ and SQH where no one really knows what's going on, especially the two involved, it involves a lot of shit talking about everyone else in their lives, snacks, and accidental trauma bonding.

Also Airplane being Airplane and accidentally spilling that not only is he also kinda crushing (bad) on Mobei-jun, but also Mobei-jun's entire backstory and please, shixiong, I know it all looks bad but this shidi's house is literally the only place in the world it's completely safe for his king to sleep, everyone deserves to sleep without having to worry about their relatives murdering them for things that aren't their fault from time to time, right, shixiong???

Shen Qingqiu: ...goddammit, the demon's a fellow sad little meow meow. (only not in these exact words because he doesn't know these phrases, naturally)

In a wild, bold, and - dare I say it - shockingly sexy convolution of thought processes and ideas, SQQ manages to finagle SQH into letting him meet with MBJ (SQH nearly has a heart attack three times in the process but it's fine, it's cool, this is his life, this may as well happen, it's fine-).

SQQ: It has come to my attention that my shidi is spying for you on our sect.

MBJ: (glowering at SQH, who is cowering behind shixiong wondering how he got talked into all this)

SQQ: However it also appears that this is merely a cover story and the only thing you really do is use his room to nap. And also that you are quite fond of him.

SQH: (This is it, this is how I die. Again.)

MBJ: (...if I stare straight ahead and don't change my expression, no one will be able to tell that he's right)

SQQ: So anyway I think you should join Cang Qiong Mountain Sect.

MBJ: (gears grinding)

SQH: (squawking splutters of protest and confusion)

SQQ: (who speaks panicking!SQH at this point) Stop that, it's perfectly reasonable. He has the head disciple of our logistics peak under his thumb, it would be the simplest thing in the world for him to have you throw the sect into absolute chaos without even trying, then organize an attack, swoop in, and crush us all. He could have done it years ago, but he never has, he never even seems to initiate anything. I don't think he even cares about taking the Northern Throne, I think he's just incompetent about wanting to spend time with you. So he might as well just lie low until our shizuns ascend and then I'll take him on as a disciple on Qing Jing and you two can stop sneaking around like idiots.

MBJ: >8O

SQQ: Are you actually opposed?

MBJ: (folds arms and looks away sulkily, because like... it's true but you don't have to say it like that)

SQH: 8O ...reverse uno...

SQQ: What?

SQH: You're reverse unoing my blorbo!

SQQ: Quit making up word-

SQQ cannot continue because the System just presented the option to accept this potential new plot line (even if it does have the rather confusing title of 'Shidi Has Two Hands'), and holy shit, Mobei-jun seems to be potentially down for it, holy shit, apparently Mobei-jun actually likes me, holy shit, SQQ may have just solved all my problems-?!? This is great, this is fantastic, this is the best day of my life, this- is a long time I'm being allowed to be myself about all this, why is Shen shixiong not interrupting...?

Ah.

It is because I am kissing him full on the lips.

Cool cool cool.

At least I'm gonna die on a high note.

SQQ: O///O o_o (ahem) Shidi's- shidi's a really bad kisser.

SQH: Ah-haha, I can explain-

SQQ: We should work on that. Later.

SQH: (BEST DAY OF BOTH MY LIVES!!!)

MBJ: (I... did not actually hate watching that. Hm.)

Anyway, he agrees to the plan, SQQ and SQH start dating, some more time passes, the previous generation of peak lords ascend, the new generation take their places, and a week later Mobei-jun is an outer disciple of Qing Jing Peak.

The other peak lords are not amused, Qingqiu that is a demon, no.

SQQ: So what I'm hearing is that whole 'Cang Qiong will accept anyone from anywhere' philosophy was a lie then?

He's a demon!

SQQ: Children can't help where they're born. Now if you'll excuse me, I have classes to teach.

First lesson of the day is SQH and SQQ are a package deal, take it or leave it. Second lesson is no canoodling with Shang Shibo until you've finished with lessons and chores for the day. Third lesson is if you see any Bai Zhan disciples hassling our peak's disciples you can break their swords. Just snap 'em in half. Throw them off the peak. Don't kill them, but do make them cry.

SQH, meanwhile, has now seen MBJ in an outer disciple uniform and had a whole bunch of new awakenings on top of all the other things he already knew about himself.

And, in a twist of dramatic irony... Qing Jing's first disciple to ever have demonic heritage decides the dorms are a no-go after one night because, to him, they are broiling hot, how can anyone sleep in this heat, and chooses to go sleep in the wood shed instead.

Fujiwara no Tokihira slowly lets out a long breath, a quiet exhale. One hand rubs tiredly at his forehead, but the headache pounding at his temples does not abate in the least, despite his efforts.

In the middle of the room, a small infant girl sleeps fitfully.

… Small mercies, although Tokihira suspects that she will not remain as quietly unobtrusive once she wakes. That had been his experience with his son, after all; the boy had seemed determined to prove to the world that he had a healthy set of lungs on him, especially when it was the dead of the night. At the time, Tokihira had wondered if this would remain true for his future children–

But that’s nowhere here nor there at the moment.

… Because this infant girl is not his daughter. To be precise, this newborn infant is in fact his sister.

Tokihira had not known that his late father had been involved in a dalliance with Minamoto no Tomiko. A daughter of Emperor Montoku, though she had not inherited the position of an imperial princess. In terms of status, it is a fitting match–

But it’s obvious why his father would’ve kept such a relationship under the wraps. Minamoto no Tomiko’s mother was a court lady who hailed from the Sugawara Clan. Their clans were political rivals and enemies with each other; Sugawara no Michizane being the worst of the lot. Tokihira has no idea what his esteemed father had been thinking, having an affair with a woman like that.

He probably hadn’t been thinking at all.

And now, it was Tokihira’s hands that needed to take care of his father’s mess. Fujiwara no Mototsune had only passed last winter, and Tokihira was preoccupied with an abundance of matters that required his attention in his new role as clan head–

He did not need a newborn child being forced upon him like this!

Minamoto no Tomiko did not wish to have any evidence of her indiscretion remaining at her side, and so she’d sent her daughter to the Fujiwara Clan to wash her hands clean of the matter. Tokihira supposed that he should be glad that the woman didn’t murder the child immediately after she was born. Even though it would mean less of a headache for him to deal with…

Tokihira glances over at the sleeping infant, and immediately winces and regrets the callous thought. Inconvenience or not, it’s not the innocent child who he should be irritated at. No, the ones who deserve the bulk of Tokihira’s frustration would be Minamoto no Tomiko for abandoning her daughter, and Fujiwara no Mototsune for foolishly choosing to indulge himself in an affair that should never have happened in the first place.

… But what’s done is done. There’s no point in bemoaning things; right now, what’s most important is how Tokihira is going to proceed from here.

Claiming the girl to be his sister will undoubtedly invite trouble. People will ask who the mother is, and it’s clear that Minamoto no Tomiko will have nothing to do with the girl –nor would Tokihira wish for the woman to claim her. A Fujiwara child with Sugawara blood in her would only be ostracized within the clan, and Tokihira isn’t so cruel as to wish that upon a blameless little girl.

Should he proclaim her to be his own daughter, then? There would be less questions about the girl’s origins that way… although he would most certainly need to explain the truth to his lovely Princess Renshi first, so that his wife would not have any misunderstandings.

Tokihira sighs heavily.

In front of him, the infant continues sleeping, oblivious to the trouble that she’s brought to his doorstep with her very existence.

“… Fujiwara no Shiki,” he decides on the girl’s name. Shiki, using the character for ‘discernment’ and ‘knowing.’

May this girl be clearly cognizant of her words and actions, unlike the foolish indulgences that both of her parents displayed.

“The Fujiwara Clan is not so heartless as to abandon their own blood as the Sugawara do,” he murmurs to the sleeping infant. “Henceforth you shall be Fujiwara no Shiki, daughter of Fujiwara no Tokihira. 

My sister, my… daughter.”

So is nobody gonna talk about the dying triton telling the CHAMPION OF THE UNDERSEA "you abandoned us" with his hands bound together in prayer impaled on a HOOK right before Gillion regresses to his soldier mindset???

The funniest read-between-the-lines part of the Halloween-Xmas episode is that Janus had a ScoobyDoo costume all ready to go but they didn’t invite him or he didn’t attend because he couldn’t find the collar-tag lol

And ScoobyDoo is notoriously scared of monsters which the others were dressed as?

It’s like if the light sides were all dressed as monsters/villains for hallowXmas that would mean Janus -notorious dark side- would have to dress like a good guy lolol

But like the most scaredy good guy ever 😂

He really wants to be part of the team doesn’t he? 😂
