Doctors be like “before we refill your medication you need to make an appointment” and then I show up to the appointment and it’s just

“Does it hurt?”

“Yes, literally all the time.”

“Cool here’s your drugs, see you in three months.”

“Percy Jackson would be a marine biologist” “no he’d be a fireman” “no he’d drop out of school” “no he’d—“

Everyone be quiet that man got his degree in social work and specializes in advocating for children with learning disabilities and rough home lives while scoping out potential demigods. He’s not gonna let any child, whether they’re mortal and dealing with a Gabe or half-god and dealing with monsters, feel like he did.

honestly the more i hear about engstars and its TLs the more i absolutely dread the inevitable release of poltergeist and what may ensue from it, bc if if the translators themselves are already invalidating arashis identity then i Really Truly do not want to see how theyll translate natsume and tsumugis microaggressions/transphobia towards her. esp since ive noticed a rise in people being comfortably transphobic towards her, and i REALLY do not wish to see natsume and tsumugi being stupid fucking morons be used as evidence to discredit her

and i think this is all the more reason why its VERY IMPORTANT for engstars to DIRECTLY ACKNOWLEDGE arashi and her gender. bc sometimes characters are STUPID and RUDE and APATHETIC. enstars is a story with NUANCED and FLAWED CHARACTERS, and when a character is being a fucking asshole youre meant to PROVE THEM WRONG. but they dont even acknowledge arashi as a girl themselves. so, if you do use engstars, please keep pressuring them bc omfg this is so bad and i can only see it getting worse

non-exhaustive list of canon powers Nico di Angelo either has shown or is heavily implied to have:

Shadow-travel

Manipulation of shadows/darkness (also possibly use of shadows as a pocket-dimension a la Magicians using the Duat in The Kane Chronicles)

Becoming intangible/shadows

Complete control over skeletons/bones (dead or alive, including summoning, reanimation, and/or changing shape of them) and being able to sense their presence

Summoning, reanimating, commanding, and dispelling the dead/undead (Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc & varieties) and being able to sense their presence

Ability to understand/communicate with the dead/undead and potentially other beings of the Underworld

Inherent complete comprehension of Latin

Ability to perceive the usually unperceivable/possibly look upon a deity’s true form without repercussion (at least moreso than the average demigod, though possibly is restricted to chthonic beings) (ex: Tartarus, potentially also interacting with his parents, etc)

Interacting tangibly with ghosts (implied to be a Ghost King thing rather than a Hades/Pluto thing)

Partial or complete immunity to different effects of the Underworld/things within (can consume food/drink of or in the Underworld without repercussions, effects from the Lethe wear off over time instead of being permanent like usual for mortals, etc)

Astral projection/”Walking in dreams”

Dream manipulation and projection (Sending dreams to others, etc.) (presumably includes sharing/projecting dreams with others) alongside inflicting sleep upon others even from a distance.

Illusions

Manipulation of emotions/aura that inflicts specific emotions on others (ex.: radiating fear/death onto enemies)

Projection of emotions and memories onto others (can be so forceful it causes physical damage like a shockwave)

Geokinesis (all forms but also specifically generating black marble) (presumably also specialized control over precious gemstones & non-paper currency)

Temperature manipulation (seemingly only lowering temperature)/creating frost)

Control/manipulation of souls, including living beings (ex: ripping out Bryce Lawrence’s soul)

Perceiving/reading/judging of souls (most likely also a Ghost King thing over Hades/Pluto thing, but possibly both)

Converting living into dead/undead, aka instakill (ex: disintegrating monsters to bone with one touch)

Lowering or manipulation of own vitals (breathing, heart rate, etc)

Death Trance/pseudo-hibernation (possibly also general control over states of consciousness at least for self, in combo with control over vitals & dreams)

Sensing death (impending or when it occurs, sometimes receiving dreams/visions of it occurring)

Able to sense other children of Hades/Pluto (potentially also other chthonic beings in general/able to identify based on sense alone) and also just living beings in general, such as mortals (possibly via souls).

Improved navigation underground/in the Underworld and ability to traverse restricted or normally unnavigable parts of the Underworld

Enhanced strength/abilities when in the Underworld

Inherently unnaturally quiet (possibly able to silence sound on a designated target)

Hiding/shielding self from being perceived (seemingly related to shadows/silence)

cyno: no one wants alhaitham happy more than i do

tighnari: i mean i’d hope so considering you two are dating

cyno: because of that but also because when he isn’t happy he starts exploiting legal gray areas for fun and i really don’t want to have to arrest my own partner

god house offering to euthanise thirteen was a crazy scene. inadvertently telling her that she isn’t alone. there is always one person who will be there for her. their father/daughter dynamic is insane. this is why i don’t think house kills himself as soon as wilson dies. i think he keeps tabs on thirteen and does go through with it. after that? who’s to say. maybe he becomes like that janitor who inspired him to be a doctor in the first place - he has no official power, but aside from that, he’s in charge, because he’s right, because he knows the answer. i’m very conflicted about what happens after the end of the show. and that’s what’s so interesting and 3-dimensional about these characters - you don’t know exactly what they’re going to do.

speaking of john caring less about being a savior than meting out punishment, we really don't talk enough about the fact that there's a prison above the ninth

[eleccy]

no but the way one of my favorite things about the krisnix dynamic is the way that apollo is such a blank slate at the beginning of aa4 and the way phoenix and kristoph are both trying to convince him to their respective “side” it’s so funny

like, they’re out here waging ideological warfare and kristoph is trying to steer apollo to follow his training and just be the calm, logical lawyer he trained him to be and phoenix is just like “but what if something something chaos” and it’s JUST enough to plant the seed of curiosity and doubt into apollo’s little mind and apollo’s like “ooooooh i just gotta know now sorry mr. gavin this is about the truth!!” and phoenix just gives kristoph that shit-eating grin like “haha kristoph you trained him for months maybe years all it took me was like five mins” and kristoph can’t fucking stand that shit. and of COURSE apollo is going to be curious, he has inborn perceive for god’s sake, and phoenix is the only one who knows that. even giving apollo a SHRED of an idea that there might be more to finding the truth of the case has apollo on the scent like a bloodhound and because of that, phoenix is able to play apollo against kristoph perfectly even when kristoph thinks he has full control of all of the pieces on the board (he doesn’t, phoenix has been eating the pieces while he wasn’t looking. metaphorically)

also why the fuck do two veteran lawyers care so much about what one rookie thinks. is it just the fact that apollo’s the only attorney in the room who has the power to do anything during 4-1 so they both have to play kingmaker in their game of chess to win, or are they just that petty that they have to “win” apollo as well

very curious about public opinion

honestly we all know post ck kaz is putting his whole back into making the council's lives miserable until they stop slavery. but what about the 1/13 of them that is uhhhh maybe like his friend or something (don't ask him to admit this out loud. he won't)

giving psych another go after having watched the first season and a bit a couple years ago before stopping because I hadn't really been feeling it

only like six or seven eps in this time, and I am enjoying it, and I would like to stick with it this time, but god, now I do remember why I gave up on it in the first place. for all the show has going for it (which is a lot!) so much of the tone (and shawn is usually the biggest offender) falls back on those really insufferable attitudes from the mid ’00s of like. hit on every woman you see, getting laid is always the biggest priority. kneejerk disdain for anything nerdy or "uncool." I'm a guy and that means I care about porn and sports and that's it
