I'm 40 pages into rereading a Titan's Curse after many many years and man does age change things.

I remember being 11 going "how could Bianca just give up on Nico to become a hunter" but she was a terrified 12 year old girl who's had to raise her little brother alone, and in the first hour of her discovering that she's a half-blood- after nearly being killed by either a monster or a gunwielding helicopter- she's approached by a pack of amazing girls and a Goddess who saves her life, tells her she can have 1. A family Forever (which she's Never really had), 2. her brother taken care of by people she Assumes are responsible and skilled, And 3. immortality- which to a 12 year old doesn't sound terrible even though it very much so is.

They got her in the First. 36. Pages.

Anyone else constantly leaving a space open in your heart for the friends who left or got tired of you or grew apart from you because the thought of "what if they come back" keeps you up at night when you try to fully get over it so instead you let that rotting decayed corpse of your friendship grow mushrooms and moss that take root inside your heart and live there even after years have gone by. And you could uproot it, but the chance of them coming back is only almost zero. Not zero. So you let it live there and it festers and sometimes you cough up spores and pollen from the decay that's still living inside you.

You're always waiting subconsciously, like the dog who died at the train station waiting for it's owner to come back. You don't declutter, you save space for them. You wait. And you wait.

And you make new friends. But you're still waiting.

Velvette makes a post absolutely dragging Charlie about her lack of style (“why is the princess of hell always dressed like if a waiter fucked a clown”)

Like all things Velvette posts, it trends- people getting in on the “joke”, posting candid pics they have of Charlie, generally being very mean about her appearance with the barest amount of plausible deniability that it’s all in good fun. It also generates an insane amount of discourse- it’s not cool to make fun of peoples appearances, this is clearly because Charlie prefers masculine clothing, etc. The more people get angry and engage in the conversation, the more the trend of roasting Charlie is boosted.

Things spiral- there’s a backlash to the backlash, people doubling down, arguing that it’s fine, actually, because Charlie is a privileged hellborn monarch, she can handle some jokes at her expense, that she’s not even butch, and like, did you SEE her interview with killjoy, she’s clearly faced worse-

Velvette knows Charlie isn’t really online, that by the time she hears about it, the cycle might even be over, but that’s not the point. Charlie isn’t popular, not beloved- she needs to be reminded that the sinners she’s trying to save can be turned against her like that.

we know that Reko's father forced her into the industry at an early age, but it's not entirely clear what genre. The idea of it being an 'industry' definitely implies she was more of a pop idol since there isn't really a 'classical' industry in the same vein, though there is still definitely heavy competition and a lot of notoriety to be gained through being very skilled at classical music, especially at an early age, so I wouldn't be so quick to write that off, either. Even so, the plot line of her being 'forced to make music she didn't want to make' and her father being blinded by money definitely feels like it makes more sense in the context of a popstar. In my personal opinion, I like the pop idol route because it really emphasizes the distinction between her current views and aesthetic and the one her father would've been trying to get her to be. A sudden stark rebellion by going super edgy and emo in middleschool contrasts with her needing to be seen as nice, innocent, happy all the time (and probably a fair bit more feminine than she actually felt, too, since alt styles are heavily associated with androgyny). Its also worth noting that she mentioned crushing multiple huge industry offers throughout her later years, which further implies she had a strong reputation already. However logic is pulling on my sleeve and it's telling me that it honestly feels weirder for a 10-13 (this age range being chosen with the logic that it would've had to been *before* or she entered middle school, as per her personal account) year old kid to be a super successful pop idol than a highly successful classical music prodigy. Though, I guess there's the possibility her father actively lied about her age to get her in the idol industry.

so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell

I hate that I have reoccurring themes in everything I make. YES this guy has a complex over the fact that everyone prefers his sibling AGAIN. YES he was ostracized by his peers since he was in primary school and never knew why until years later. URGH

Do y’all think Ashe has sat there and begged the other three to just tell her what being able to go to school was like for them… how it felt to sit in a classroom, how it felt to be able to have lunch around others and what they’d have, how intimidating the hallways were and if there were really cool clubs to join.. what having that party felt like, even. What having those people around to have the ability to have a party was like. Cause I do. Cause I do a lot
