#it’s such a traumatic show

[hellishfig]

i rly desperately want my friends to watch his dark materials

and yet i’m also making a powerpoint (for our powerpoint party) that is titled “why not one person here should watch his dark materials”

it’s for my irl friends (two of whom are also tumblr friends)

the subtitle is “a secret ploy/genuine warning”

bc yes i do think some of my friends should NOT watch this show

but also some of them rly should

just so that i have people to talk to about it irl :’(

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

Chara knows something that we don't, methinks...

It can't be overstated how powerful the catharsis is when a scene of a character connecting with their wounded inner child is done right. The key poses...the expressions...the timing...storytelling like this can help to provide some healing for so many people in the audience.

so how about that update, huh

[moonlit-typewriter]

Can we talk about Percy seeing his mom in the underworld?

Look at how horrified he is.

There isn’t even a sliver of relief at seeing his mom again. The only thing on his face is wide-eyed terror.

Now look at what Sally looked like:

Did anyone else think that it seemed kind of familiar?

Did anyone else think that it kind of looks like she’s frozen in gold?

Percy saw his mom and it instantly reminded him of being encased inside Hephaestus’s trap in Waterland. Paralyzed and awake while he suffocated slowly and painfully. He’s remembering the panic he felt when he thought he was going to die and how much it hurt when he was freed; Even though he was alive, his lungs burned with every inhale and his head spun from lack of oxygen.

Now he’s putting his mom in that position

i do love that the series explained from the first episode that the gang will have to dig falin out of the dragon to resurrect her and we knew it was gonna be kinda fucked and yet we still weren’t expecting THAT

This is a cruel world, especially for the little things. Not all of them are allowed to live.

I got ambitious and wanted to make a collective of the different Sun, Moon, and Eclipse (and by Extension Lunar) relationships they have. Have these for now and maybe I'll finish the rest.

Annabeth: if I had nickel for every time a child of the Big 3 tried to sacrifice themselves in front of me, I’d have 3 nickels

Annabeth: which isn’t a lot, but they need to stop fucking doing that.

Dp x Dc AU: Danny and Tim are twins- And Vlad is the first to figure this out in his attempts to get DavlCo a new investor.

---

Tim was getting the creeps from this guy. It was as if the room got colder, the seconds got longer and the room's shadows moved to their own volition. He stared Tim down less like 'You punk kid' and more like 'You'll be mine' in a way that Tim didn't appreciate. At all.

The guy kept setting meetings up despite Tim's direct insistance that Wayne Enterprises would never touch DalvCo- not with a ten foot pole or for all the money in the world. Some how Tim's board of directors kept getting swindled by the guy and... therefore more meetings. More looks from this guy that made him want to crawl out of his skin.

Vlad asked him if he ever went by Timothy- Tim couldn't reply "that's not my name" fast enough. It apparently inspired the guy somehow. More meetings that Tim can't reject because of board members pop up.

It's been long determined that Jason doesn't get involved with Wayne Enterprises, but after the Uncle and a few other paid-actor solutions go up in flames- Tim decides to call up his older brother to act as a bodyguard and tell this guy to fuck off for the final time.

Jason apparently also gets the Heebee-jeebies from this asshole but his message is loud and clear to Vlad. There's a flash of green and then all of sudden it's just Tim and Jason in the room... Only Jason isn't acting like himself.

Putting it together- Tim reaches for his contingency F stash of Knock out gas and doses Jason. Vlad doesn't re-appear so Tim assumes that to mean that he'll be trapped in Jason's person until Jason wakes up.

Walking out of the meeting room with his bus of a brother over his shoulders- Tim quickly asks Tam to reach out to Vlad's Emergency contact. Surely there is someone in this man's company willing to explain what the fuck Vlad was trying to pull. Tim theoretically can keep Jason drugged asleep for a long time- surely that threat can get him somewhere.

The day drags on as Tim continues to keep Jason unconscious and eventually Tam lets him know that someone is here for Vlad. She says it with the addition of one of their codes- He mentally prepares himself for the worst and then... His doppleganger walks through the door? What the fuck?

Tim and Danny puzzle about one another for a little too long and Jason wakes up- Vlad pops out immediately. A shouting match between Danny and Vlad commences and...

"Man I knew our family had unresolved issues but seriously what the fuck has your clone dealing with?" Jason asks, as though he could watch this all day with pop corn.

"You made more clones?!" Danny screamed at Vlad who's only response is "Not this one! This one is actually polite!"

"Fuck you!" Tim and Danny reply in tandem.

Take a Chance, Roll the Dice

“With a fierce battle cry, you swing your sword at the manticore!”

“So I... roll for the attack, right?”

“Yeah. With its AC of four and your plus-two sword, you need at least a ten to hit.”

“And that’s on the big dice?” At Eddie’s nod, Steve rolls the twenty-sided die. “Shit. One.”

“Again?!?!”

“Apparently Sir Staevyn is cursed.”

“Your dungeon master could be persuaded to… overlook that roll.”

Dustin groans, “You promised not to be gross!”

Steve rerolls. “Thirteen!” He bats his lashes at Eddie. “How will I ever repay you, oh merciful one?”

“We can talk later, baby.” Eddie blows an obnoxiously loud kiss across the table.

Dustin gags.
