What's the coolest manuport you've ever found? Like one that made you be like "yknow what dead guy? You've got good taste, I'd've absolutely yoinked that in your place"
oooh honestly i reckon it was just this like... INSANELY round river pebble. Like the kind that sat really well in the hollow of your palm. And i was like Solid Choice™ my dude i do in fact approve of this one.

hey you know how basically the whole GFFA is a number of space wizards of varying moralities battlegrounds? and how like, irl, in ex-battlegrounds we find both like, live munitions, but also ones which are still around bc they were DOA?
and how sometimes (weirdly often) the dead/presumed dead bombs(/mines/etc) become kinda... decorative art or at least weird bits of the landscape?
point I'm getting at here is how many people in the GFFA have like, A Weird Stone or whatever that is actually an untriggered or mildly broken Sith Nightmare Machine (etc) sitting in their fucking yard, or the local park is actually 2/3rds of a ritual circle of 'kill everyone on the planet with spikes'.

Something that makes reading TOA so devastating is how fucking much Apollo feels about Everything. There’s so MUCH. Like I don’t even know how to describe it to you if you haven’t read the books yourself. He has so many complicated thoughts and emotions about just about everything and he cares about everything so much and there is just SO MUCH going on in his head. And yet none of it ever reaches his mouth!!
He almost never says what he’s feeling. What little comes out of his mouth about his thoughts barely even scratches the surface of what he actually means. Like he’ll be having a long ass monologue about how incredible someone is, showing a deep understanding of them as a person and empathizing with them so hard you’d almost think it’s projection but it’s not he’s legitimately just mind melding with this random person he met like a week ago and he’s thinking the softest, kindest thoughts about them like he knows they’re fucking incredible - and what comes out of his mouth is just like, “you’re a wonderful friend :)” AND ITS LIKE. THERES SO MUCH MORE UNDER THE SURFACE. the sheer admiration and adoration he has for everyone around him……… UGHHH!!! But he never VOICES ANY OF IT!!!!!! He never tells anyone about what Zeus did to him……. He never tells anyone except the reader about his realization that Zeus is abusive…. He never even tells commodus about how much he adored him, not then and not now… he refuses to tell anyone when he’s in pain or tries to justify the things he does when he actually had Decent Reasons for why he did something… I’m. I’M. AUGH. AHHHHH
HE DOESN’T EVEN TELL US ALL OF HIS THOUGHTS IS THE THING. THERES EVEN MORE THAT HE IS NOT TELLING US!!!!! THE FUCKING OCEAN OF FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS HE HAS ABOUT EVERYTHING IS THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION. I AM IN DISTRESS.
And YET…. Even what slips out of his mouth is so fucking devastating it is SO devastating. He’s so fucking kind and gentle with Harley and Meg and and other younger Demis and his kids… he’ll act like an obstinate idiot and then turn around say something that drags the core of the person he’s talking to into the light like nail on the fucking HEAD like he reached into their soul and gave them the words to express something that they were struggling to say aloud or that they didn’t even realize about themself. Around the 2nd book he starts putting voice to some of his feelings and thoughts about others and even that tiny fucking sliver is overwhelming to the people he’s talking to bc he’s SO. AUGHHHH

normally, when it comes to my OCs, i typically just make them to do really nothing more than fill certain rolls. like in my fic, getaway car, i needed a manager for the sinnoh league, and a makeup artists, and all these different supporting cast characters.
i created all those characters to fill those roles, and never really expected anyone to think about them for more than however long they're on the page. every now and then i'd get someone saying they really liked my OCs for whatever story, and it always surprises me in the best way! but it's never really my intention. If people like them, great! if not, no worries!
for the first time ever, i'm working on an OC and just......praying people will love her as much as i'm starting to 😭

I mean really nothings ever gonna beat sitting there playing guitar hero on ps2 and hearing Iron Man for the first time and turning to someone sitting on the sofa with you and thinking you're the shit for managing to sing 'i am iron man, can i suck my own dick yes i can' to the tune to make someone laugh and then failing miserably to play the song on medium difficulty. Thems were the times or days or whatever. We were so blissfully fucking stupid.

why is EVERY female cover of Iris by the goo goo dolls soft and slow and gentle and set to fucking slow pianos and the occasional acoustic guitar is it so much for ask for a woman screaming her lungs out to the metal guitar and drums like the original is it so much to ask for a woman to cry and yell about the pain of the original and reframe it in a feminine way that doesn't diminish the grunginess of the original.
is it so much to ask for that.
