#other olympians are chill tho

[annie-also-draws]

Hades Charmes brain rot dump

Domestic Charmes Modern Au for my needs bc there’s not enough art of them HNNNNG (bless you AO3 writers)

Some designs for Hermes. (Charon’s still in the backlog in my head rn). Hermes with glasses anyone??? 😭

I’m in the deep trenches of making my own Au where Hermes and Charon are finance bros (god of commerce and the god who collects gold, duh, ain’t no way they’re dirt poor).

There’s plenty of fics that display Hermes as the black sheep of the family who’s running his own life away from his family doing odd jobs and barely hangs on (no hate I love them!!!) but there’s not enough Rich! Hermes out there so I just gotta insert my own brain rot. Charon and Hermes working for rival finance companies (one deal with future investment and one deal with settlement money/clauses after one’s death (idk if it’s a real thing but meh)

Check the tags for the synopsis lol AO3 style

Bless Jen Zee for long hair Hermes bc all the hairstyle I can conjure from this 😩🙏

The glasses started as a goofy accessory and ended up staying. Longsighted-Hermes who can’t see things that are close to him and uses contact lenses at work 👁️👁️. Only wears glasses at home (with Charon). Grows very little beard and is perpetually tired bc overworked! Hermes is so canon.

Ranking the olympian gods on how much I actually enjoy serving them (pls don’t tag them, I don’t exactly enjoy the idea of dying)

12. Zeus, I feel like I don’t need to specify why 0/10

11. Hera, she doesn’t like me, she’s not very nice 0/10

10. Ares, keeps calling on me in the middle of battles, talks crap about most of his kids 2.5/10

9. Demeter, she’s alright I guess but is very judgemental 3/10

8. Poseidon, talks about his kids a lot, a bit picky about his drinks and how they’re poured 4.5/10

7. Hepheastus, he’s okay, I don’t really see him all that much 4.9/10

6. Hermes, he’s pretty chill and doesn’t call on me much 5/10

5. Athena, not a big drinker, isn’t the worst but isn’t the best 6.5/10

4. Apollo, definitely a lot more nice after he was turned mortal, I like his wife and kids better tbh 7/10

3. Aphrodite, very kind and beautiful, she does get kinda angry when people say Im prettier than her (srsly tho, Im not, trust me) 8/10

2. Dionysus, he’s chill, doesn’t ask to much of me and in general is just kinda laid back compared to the other Olympians 8.5/10

1. Artemis, she’s respectful, kind, doesn’t call on me much, and I just have a lot of respect for her 9/10

[cosmicfan776]

after having now finished last olympian, my official sorting of the olympic gods

FUCK WITH

-poseidon (when grading on a curve, pretty good dad and he is silly and also hot)

-Dionysus (king, would have won pac man if it wasn't for pierre. also seems genuinely chill/cares about his kids

-Aphrodite (has never done anything wrong in her life absolutely did not curse any women for serving more cunt than her. only thing she did in books was be cool and ship percabeth. Queen shit.)

-Artemis (actually does shit. like she just goes out and does things and i think that's cool)

-HESTIA SWEEP

--Hephaestus

SORTA FUCK WITH

-Hermes (he was mean and lashes out at others for his own mistakes, but also hes not all bad)

NO FUCK WITH

-Apollo (continues to grumble about how i "do not fuck with apollo anymore")

-Hades (show hades is awesome, but in the books hes just an asshole, and also never figured out how prophecies work even tho its been like millenia, complete imbecile. could have taken nico/bianca out of the casino? considering zeus clearly forgot about them by the time of books/thought they were dead, so like, they were only in there so you could release them from cryofreeze in time for the prophecy.)

-Athena (cannot laugh at funny, good natured prank. so leaves her child to die for what their friend did. cringe. also did i call her a nerd yet. because she's a nerd. Absolute four-eyes athena over here.)

-Demeter (has done nothing but be an asshole and try to make people eat wheat. i don't want your fucking wheat lady.)

-Hera (asshole. they all gotta stop cursing people frankly.)

-Zeus (just kinda evil. like he took out an entire hotel to kill his targets, who were also innocent children. and then still broke the pact twice despite that. and also all the swan shit that wasn't chill.)

-Ares (ares.)

[11queensupreme11]

Your favorite and least favorite things about ror and pjo?

PJO

favorite things:

pretty much the entirety of the first series!

i love how rick was able to perfectly (imo) entertwine the ancient greek world with the modern world

i especially love how most of percy's journey was similar to the ancient greek heroes' journeys in the myths

THE FACT THAT PERCY REJECTED GODHOOD TO TRY AND GIVE DEMIGODS AND MINOR GODS A BETTER LIFE HE'S SO SWEET I LOVE HIM OMG

no seriously, i LOVE how instead of being selfish and becoming a god, he tried to actually fix the root of the problem so no other child would ever go through the same things his generation of demigods went through THATS HOW YOU END AN OPPRESSIVE REGIME, I'M PROUD OF YOU PERCY

everything about the last olympian. he writes war and battle SO well, my heart was literally pounding throughout the whole book!!!

the character deaths.... they gutted me, but they were executed so well

least favorite things:

the gods weren't very similar to the mythical counterpart.... like how pjo!poseidon was a chill, mostly nice guy whereas in the myths he was a rapist psycho.... and how pjo!ares was implied to be abusive towards clarisse whereas in the myths ares respects women and killed his daughter's rapist (tho i get why he couldn't do that since this is a kid's book)

the entirety of heroes of olympus 💀

no seriously, i didn't like any of it

the lost hero and the son of neptune were okay, but after that things started getting messy. probably because of how many main characters he had to write about

the plot was very very.... weird??? especially around the part where they were looking for the physician's cure. a side quest took up a major chunk of the book

BLOOD OF OLYMPUS WAS SHITTY OMG

the final battle against gaea was so lame!!!! the seven weren't even fighting here, only a few of them were!!! the fact that piper was able to put her to sleep too even though rick literally wrote a list of ways charmspeak would fail AND GAEA CHECKED EVERY ONE OF THEM???? yet piper succeeded anyway???

no seriously, i was expecting the last olympian kinda shit in blood of olympus, but i got NOTHING

rick's shitty view of 'feminism' wasn't feminism at all, it was more misandry (the hunt) and piper ESPECIALLY had some glaring internalized misogyny

i get he was trying to make her a feminist icon, but he really failed with piper. piper clearly hated femininity and looked down feminine girls AND SHE WAS PROVEN RIGHT because 99% of her enemies (major or minor) were girls that were comfortable with their femininity and rick had her triumph over them every time

rick's favoritism over piper. her charmspeak worked on opponents that it shouldn't have worked on (gaea and khione), every other female character suddenly gets downgraded whenever she's around (drew, aphrodite, annabeth, the entire fucking aphrodite cabin, etc), none of her actual flaws were called out (this is mostly because rick never intended for her internalized misogyny and obsessiveness to be her flaws, they were created by accident and noticed by the readers).... and you get the point

ROR

favorite things:

the character designs are sooooo 🤤

99% of the characters have 8 pack abs OR MORE

THE GORE!!!! WOOHOO I LOVE THE VIOLENCE (in the manga at least.... the anime censored it smh 🤦‍♀️)

there isn't really much worldbuilding yet but i love what we've been given so far!!!!

the fact that the mangaka was able to create a universe where ALL the gods of ALL the pantheons are in it and it doesn't look like a hot mess??? much respect!

THE FACT THAT FAMOUS HUMANS ARE FIGHTING TOO!!!

THE MATCHUPS ARE AMAZING LIKE IMAGINE BEING TOLD NIKOLA TESLA WAS FIGHTING THE DEVIL

the death scenes!!! yes they're tragic, but they're so well done!!!! the way lu bu's men rallied up to join him in niflhel, the way every human grieved when adam, their father, died, how tesla's last words were to give hope to humanity, I LOVED IT ALL 😭😭😭

least favorite things:

i really need them to explain wtf a demigod is cuz i get how humans are considered demigods (they're humans with the strength of a god) BUT I REALLY NEED AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THE VALKYRIES ARE CONSIDERED DEMIGODS 💀

the gods were.... kinda underwhelming. they seemed more like superhumans than actual gods. poseidon didn't use his water powers? hades didn't summon the dead? no lightning from zeus? most of the gods were fighting physically and not using their actual powers which was kinda...... meh

the list of fighters for both humans and gods.... the gods literally have 5 greeks and 3 norse gods whereas the humans have 4 japanese fighters 🫤 i'd like a lil more diversity

the way the fight scenes are animated in the anime..... they are so bad..... like SO bad 😭😭 my jaw dropped when i watched them

the censoring of the violence and gore in the anime 😔

[stellarspecter]

All This Feeling Second Best, It's Got Me by the Throat - Julie and the Phantoms, 249 kudos

most of those are pretty old so it makes sense that they've had the time to accumulate kudos, but that means they were also written when i was in high school so it's kind of like 😬

5. Do you respond to comments?

i used to more, now i don't really unless they said something that i specifically want to comment on. i just kind of forget or don't have anything to say lmao

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

probably my troped round 1 fic, you look like you've just seen a monster (is that what i look like to you?). usually i like to have a happy ending but i wrote this in like two days the week of my first breakup. so uh yeah couldn't really think of happy ending for that one.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

pretty much anything else lmao. i love to write fluff and cuddles and shit like that so just go read any other of my fics

8. Do you get hate on fics?

the only hate on fics i can remember ever getting was back in my bmc days when i wrote meremine and someone was mad bc michael is gay and didn't like that i put him in a throuple with a woman. but like other than that clown behavior no not really lmao

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

i have one (1) smut fic published and it is on a different account because i was so scared of jatp fandom being mean lmao. luckily i only got nice comments on it so i will share that you can go read it here. i mean it was probably kind of obvious that it was me because there are only so many ppl into that rarepair? but idk jatp mutuals lmk who you thought it was lsdfksjf

[happyk44]

So I just found out that Poseidon is also the god of droughts and what are your thoughts on a child of poseidon with drought powers, a complete opposite to their more sea based children?

[ID: Screenshot of a google search. The search term reads, "god of drought in gr...". The search term is cut off due to the mobile layout of the screenshot. A featured snippet at the top comes from wikipedia, reading, "List of water of deities".

The core of the screenshot is the People Also Ask section, of which the return is "Who is the Greek god of drought?" This question has been dropped down to show a result from "www.theoi.com". The answer reads, "Poseidon was the Olympian god of the sea, earthquake, floods, drought and horses. He was depicted as a mature man with a sturdy build and a dark beard holding a trident (a three-pronged fisherman's spear)." /end ID]

Oh! I knew this 🙌 I think it's related to him being the god of the sea/water, sort of like how Apollo is associated with healing but also the plague. I always find it funny when that happens 🤣

So for the kids who skew more to the side of drought, obviously they still have their sea powers. They're probably far more dry in tone, less empathic, less emotional. Maybe they're more prone to the earthshaker side of Poseidon as well, and the equine, to make up for the lesser interest in the sea. Plus earthquakes and horses are more land-based and a drought affects the land (agricultural loss, wildfires, increased sandstorms, etc).

In PJO canon, I'd want to say drought-based kids grew up more inland where access to a large body of water was difficult to come across. So it's less about internal nature (as with my interpretation of the freshwater vs seastorm Neptune babies), and more about familiarity and adaptation - sort of like how catci and other desert plants have evolved to handle long periods without water.

Powers that they have an increased capability for over their sea counterparts:

causing earthquakes! they can manipulate them on a small or large scale, but they have higher propensity. it's a little harder for them to cause underwater earthquakes tho (which. can become tsunamis btw)

dehydration - sort of an inverse of drowning a person in their own fluids, they will the liquids inside them to dry up at a rapid pace

as a subset of that, i think it would be so cool if they could pull a tantalus-like punishment with enough focus on someone. no matter how much you drink, you will always be thirsty, you will never be satisfied, you will be captain barbosa and his crew, turning skeletal in the moonlight

they can withstand higher and drier heats than their sea-preferred counterparts (for example, percy would be hanging off of carter in the desert, crying for water, while they're chilling and vibing, truly a cactus of a person)

similarly, they retain water better, and sweat less. their bodies need less fluid to keep going on (this makes them better at giving blood lol, stay juicy everybody!)

while most children of poseidon are capable of piling water in the air into something usable, the drought prone kids have picked up how to pull water/usable liquid from anything available, as dry climates may lack enough water in the air for it to be worthwhile compared to humid climates --- so they're more likely to pull water out of living things, pull water out of the ground, or even find water deep underground (well water!)

due to the above, they're more capable of causing inland floods, they can pull water out from deep in the earth and force it to surround areas that are devoid of rivers, lakes, or even high rainfalls - this isn't just because of the whole "god of floods" thing either, it's because after a long period of drought, sudden rains can cause flash flooding to occur, so they're good at making flood happens

heat generation! they may be able to make things hotter, and/or drier

they have perpetual black thumbs. they are... not very good at growing plants lol

finding/summoning horses. it might take a while, but if there is a horse, they will find it (like the horse version of a dowsing rod, which, lol, they're kind of the human version of a dowsing rod, i guess), and if there are no horses nearby, they will get one to come to them through ✨ vibes ✨

their version of a storm is a heatwave OR extreme rain. yes, they can summon hurricanes or typhoons, but those are much more ocean-based things. so forcing high and burning levels of heat that makes everyone stumble and sag, sweating through every inch of fabric they have OR extreme and heavy rainfall that practically drowns you where you stand and knocks you to the ground is more their instinct

lowkey i wanna give them sandstorms as well, since that can be an effective of long-period of drought, but. you know. idk how much greece was ever getting pummeled by sandstorms for that to be something they associated with drought. (egypt, on the other hand, set, my dangerous and beloved)

(funnily enough set is also the god of foreigners, so like, who knows, maybe he and poseidon struck a funny deal when one of his kids traipsed over there while wandering around)

Since I think the difference between sea-based Poseidon babies and land-based Poseidon babies is just due to their adaptation of their environment, I think someone who is sea-based could easily become more land-based after living in such conditions for a while, and vice versa. Sort of like accents, lol. You know, if Percy decided to up and move to the desert in his 40s, he'd adapt after an initial period of "oh my gods oh my gods where is the fucking water where is the ocean i am dying" lol. it would take him a lot longer to pick up on the accent of the land than if he were younger, and so he'd still maintain his "sea" accent long-term

Because of this, I think it would be really neat if, way back when, it was common for the kids to take a few months away from camp to go living in the desert for a bit so they could pick up some land skills - like a rite of passage for poseidon demigods. one of the older cabin members goes out with them to make sure they don't die, helps them hone into the skills they might not have tapped into before, etc and so on. The kids come back at the end of their outing, more well-rounded and capable of tapping into the opposite side of their powers, when and if needed. Some of the kids might repeat the outing more than once for funsies, but most of them usually just do the one time thing, and then practice their land-based powers on a smaller scale at camp.

If a land-based kid comes into camp when they're much older, they don't typically have to do the outing, but sometimes they'll go out, not to learn anything, but to help the others, since they'll essentially receive assistance with their sea-based powers while they're at camp (presuming every version of camp has been based near the ocean or some giant water mass throughout the years - if not, then it goes the other way around, where they take a few months to go chill out on a beach for a few months).

Thanks for asking! If anyone else has any extra ideas, feel free to add them on! :)

Additionally, just 'cause, here are the four types of droughts I came across while googling "drought causes" because, lol, I'm an island boy, I am not familiar with droughts and wanted to get some facts in that weren't high temps and low rainfall (source):

Meteorological: region-specific; occur when an area receives less rainfall than normal; often measured by comparing the current situation to previous years’ rainfall. Some locations are affected more harshly than others.

Agricultural: when there is not enough moisture in the soil to sustain the growth of crops. Crops need different amounts of water based on their level of maturity, so they can be susceptible to droughts at different times. For example, most plants require moist topsoil to germinate, but this could be less important down the line as the plant matures. So, the effects of an agricultural drought hinge largely on the growth stage of the plants.

Hydrological: when there is a lack of surface and subsurface water supply; detrimental effects can be most readily observed in watersheds and river basins; affect the entire water cycle, take longer to notice, and have effects less immediately obvious than with other droughts.

Socioeconomic: when the water supply is too low to support human and environmental needs; wreaks havoc on the supply and demand of crucial commodities like water, grains, fish, and hydroelectric power.

[percabeth4life]

Sorry if this is random; I’m curious! How would you rank Rick’s portrayal of the Olympian gods, from least to most accurate?

Mine would go Poseidon, Ares, Zeus, Apollo, Demeter, Artemis, Aphrodite, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus, Hera.

Okay... hmm... this is gonna be rough cause wow it's complicated cause Rick fucked up all of them really and I'm gonna have to basically measure it- but uh-

Least Accurate

Dionysus: Dionysus of the myths is legitimately a force of nature and chaos and he is remarkably good looking (emphasized several times in the myths). The best I can give him is that his Dionysus is depressed, that's literally his only shield on this matter.

Zeus: oh boy- okay so this is a thing like yeah Zeus does some shit in the myths but Rick is like- not looking at context. Does he get with a lot of women? Yeah. Do the myths use the word r*pe for it? Yes. Do you know what that word meant at the time? Cause let me tell you, it's not the same it means now. It means either to take the person (physically move them elsewhere) or to be with them without the permission of the father. Zeus def got with some without consent but it is not nearly to the level people like to claim. And on top of that, people keep saying he's horrible, Rick included. Zeus is the God of Justice and he is not bad at that. He has many notable instances in the myths of being a fair judge, of ceding his own vote to be sure as the judge he doesn't make it unfair (like say, the Poseidon and Athena myth which implies he would've voted in Poseidon's favor). That's not even getting into his position as the God of hospitality (there's a reason people respect hospitality laws) or a God of the home. Just- Zeus is so much more than what Rick showed but Rick, like many others, didn't bother to look beyond the most basic beliefs of the myths. (oops that's long)

Apollo: Maybe one would consider this unreasonable, but the amount of myths he twisted or even made up brings Apollo to a very inaccurate standard.

Ares: Ares is treated as an abusive father and frankly not the smartest. The real Ares is one of the BEST dads in the myths imo. And he is a God of War, not the strategy but he has the instincts, he is the strength of will, the courage and the fear rolled up in one.

Hera: ... okay she- okay people don't understand her stuff and I wrote a thing on her before (HERE) tho that covers a specific myth but like- she is the Goddess of FAMILY. She would never have treated Nico like that. She would never have treated the family like that. She would have issues with Zeus' kids, but mythologically they only really suffered from her when Zeus shoved them in front of her. She stood against several of his kids yeah, but her active harm is most evident with Herakles and Dionysus specifically, and my post does cover that. So like- the hate shown? It would not be nearly that level. Her greatest grievance was always with the women who got with Zeus. She loves her family, she loves her people, she is a loving Goddess.

Poseidon: I've spoken of it before but I DO give credit for him being a family man and willing to go to extremes, he's just... way too chill. Like so way too chill.

Demeter: Okay with Rick I almost give him a pass for his messed up portrayal of Demeter if only because literally everyone does it. People lack a fundamental understanding of Demeter, of her love of her daughter which is returned equally. He makes her overbearing and obsessed with... cereal of all things. It's a mess, but she isn't present enough for me to really get on his case for her.

Aphrodite: He got her being a force of love fairly right but messed up a lot on how she cares for it, how she is a force of war, blood lust and sexual lust both. She is not soft and gentle, love has started and ended wars and she is that force.

Athena: for all Athena gets a lot of attention she wasn't actually... present much. But from what we do see? Her just having kids is horrifically inaccurate. But she does guide the children and give them gifts (seen via Annabeth). The weird stuff with her and Minerva is horribly inaccurate and if Minerva was on the table for this it would put Athena and Minerva at the Least Accurate without a doubt. But she's a strategist, if a bit... colder than one would expect. And she aided on quests.

Artemis: she gets fairly accurate because while he definitely got parts wrong (like her hunters and stuff) she is a warrior, she is protective, she is a shield for the young. So the man hating stuff is... not as bad as some of the others got.

Hephaestus: ehhhhh, he's... okay he's a loner so kudos on that, and awkward with people sure, but like- he does care for his family. And he forgave Hera ages ago, there's a whole part of a myth on it. He is good with machines tho, and otherwise doesn't really get attention so... okay.

Hermes: he's pretty chill, and cares for his kids and stuff. Not the worst? Honestly, he doesn't get a huge amount of attention in manners I can really judge. He's polite, helpful, and gives aid. And he cares for his kids a lot and watched over them. Not bad.

Most Accurate

Yeah... okay that seems roughly the order... some of these are more overlapping on it than others cause it's hard to rank this but- hope that works.

Percy's Official Sneakers are Reeboks and Here Are My Takes

I'm just gonna say it. The Lightning Thief came out in 2005. Reebok was sinking slowy but it was still pretty cool. It had years of history specially in the 80s/early 90s. There are no mentions of shoe brands (despite Percy's two or three mentions of being interested in skateboarding) until The Last Olympian.

Now, here's the thing. By almost 2010 Reebok had a hard time releasing a sneaker that made a difference. Now, in 2005 I was 10 years old.

Every child was wearing Reeboks (and other brands sure). I'm gonna go from the funny assumption that Riordan is up to date with sneaker releases, and that Percy needs shoes from the beggining, and that if he was still sticking by Reebok in 2009, he was wearing them 4 years prior. And that his family doesn't have a lot of money to spare on this kind of thing, so I decided to look into older models as well, for example Percy could be wearing a sneaker that cane out in 2000 because it'd be cheaper (or rarer but that doesn't count) by now.

Let's look at some shoes!

From 1995 to 2002 not much luck (some years had no releases). Percy is definitively a t-shirt beaten sneakers sort of kid. These don't fit do they?

Well these is all there is from 95 to 2002 from my research. Keep in mind I'm not a sneaker-head.

It gets a little better, in 2008 the Reverse Jam comes out. I guess Riordan could envision Percy wearing these. But very few skater kids (not Percy but he thinks he is) wear mid/high sneakers.

And just for fun, in 2009:

Not only this is a lot to look at, it's like 300 USD. Nevermind amirite. Even if the blue and orange make me hella tempted.

Basically going from 1995 to 2009 I found nothing worth noting. But I wore Reeboks. A bunch of kids did. A bunch of people back in the day did. Where were the models I remember?

Well... from 95 prior. The classics. Most of the top selling and received Reebok sneakers ever are old.

So I decided to scavenge for some options, based on: Memories and personal taste regarding what I think Percy would wear. He's not cool and in tune with this stuff in my head he's chill. Makes do. (But I'm still gonna throw some cooler more out there stuff in there).

From 85/86 because 80s sneakers rule, the BB4600. It's just nice. White sneakers complement the blue jeans orange shirt black hair design nicely. Design wise it works. Not so much character wise I guess. And the Pump one from I wanna say, 91? It's just the sort of intricate a teen would think looks cool. Nowadays we have cooler looking mid sneakers but it holds up. The red-orange detailing makes it for me. Both are mid tho, not the best for the skating look.

No worries. Moving on.

From the early 90s, the Workout Plus. Flat sole? Brown sole/black everything else combo? Name one skater that hasn't worn something that looks like this at some point. The Workout Plus was considering very cool. It still looks cool, in a simple nostalgic way. Could be. Very wannabe skater for Percy. The brown soles also give the black hair top / black shoes bottom a good color break for when drawing.

But this is not it. I've been leading you to the one. Not so good for the design I'll say. It's all black. But it was received extremely well. Everyone and their cousin was wearing this. I had one. I didn't even know it was a hit sneaker; I had one when The Lightning Thief came out in Brazil, in 2008, THREE whole years after it's original release. Because it has netting, it looked destroyed really fast. It looked terrible to wash but was easy and dried fast. It was the outdoorsy kid that wanted to look cool sneaker. With y'all, the Reebok Ventilator.

Looks cheap. Old as heck. Sporty. Incredibly resistant to getting beaten up but still quick to look worn. Interesting texturing (for when drawing). No style whatsoever. For me, this is it. Percy's main sneakers.

At least up to when he's 16. I rest my case.

reaction to the lost hero by rick riordan

imma be honest this is a long time coming, okay so here’s the timeline we’re looking at so you understand me. i read lightning thief in middle school, dropped it and read it again in ninth grade. then i read sea of monsters, but never started titan’s curse. then for some reason in 11th grade i bought the second book in heroes of olympus and started to read it and got confused so i started to read titan’s curse and got to when percy took artemis’s place and then dropped it...again. very sad that time considering it was LEGIT THE END SO CLOSE. anyway yesterday i read the whole thing again and the battle of the labrinyth in like 6-8 hours. idk i can’t remember if i started at 10pm or midnight but i finished at 6am. anyways today i read the last olympian, and now i’m starting the lost hero. i thought it’d be funny to do my reactions.

this timeline is just funny because i have read so many books, and yet the most popular ones like percy jackson and harry potter, didn’t wanna finish lol. i still haven’t finished goblet of fire yet i read 100 pages an hour and could probably finish it in a day. anyways.

let the reactions begin

okay i’ve heard of jason but i was not expecting a pov already

woah electrocution

he’s already got a love interest what

he said the coach is 5’0 i now imagine the coach as danny devito i have no choice

piper and leo yes i recognize these names

(i’ve seen a lot of posts about percy jackson okay)

i like leo i don’t like dylan

i love the starwars reference

oh look guys we got popular girls that are racist, can they get their asses beat in this pls

dylan is also racist for smiling-asswipe

we love the cherokee representation

i hate them so much can they please leave

“i had to say something” i like coach hedge is this bad

i hope percy is the storm but i just know i wouldn’t be that lucky

ofc dylan is a racist monster

danny devito never returned :(

PLS TELL ME THESE REINFORCEMENTS ARE PERCY AND ANNABETH

who is the bulky dude

i’m sorry i’m laughing he’s a big scary dude with his head shaved and A RAINBOW TATTOO and his name is butch

oh so that’s why percy isn’t here

okay usually when reading i can form some kind of theory or connection but at this point i literally have no clue what is happening

i just knew as soon as he asked that he had abilities with fire but i was not expecting fire fingers

wow what a first impression “you should be dead”

wait so all i remember from the son of neptune was the beginning had percy alone i think and i’m not sure if he had his memory or maybe not and he was running away from monsters, so is what’s happening to jason similar to that? and WILL PERCY NOT BE FOUND IN THIS BOOK?

“That also was necessary. Long ago, your father gave me your life as a gift to placate my anger. He named you Jason, after my favorite mortal. You belong to me.

“Whoa,” Jason said. “I don’t belong to anyone.”

Now is the time to pay your debt, she said. Find my prison. Free me, or their king will rise from the earth, and I will be destroyed. You will never retrieve your memory.”

... okay theories, um a goat skin cloak was mentioned to have been owned by Zeus’s foster mother and that he owned it so the woman could either be the foster mother or Hera. If it was Hera, it would make sense that Zeus gave his son to placate her anger at his cheating or whatever. They are also trapped in Olympus, so prison would make sense. Hera was brought up a lot too, and according to wiki Hera persuaded Aphrodite to make her son make Medea fall in love with a mortal named Jason, so more than likely the lady is Hera. Their king will rise from earth could be the king from the battle of the labrynth, maybe. Or another king ya know there are so many.

Wait a minute

Something else I know about their names is Jason’s last name...JASON GRACE I thought it sounded familiar, because of Thalia Grace. Hah look at me being correct. That explains the flying and not being burnt by a lightning bolt—oh I’m stupid for not seeing it sooner.

Now just gotta figure out who Piper’s parent is.

Aha so I was right it was Hera.

Chiron not being able to give the information they need is kind of annoying.

Enceladus? So a giant offspring of Gaia, um...no bueno. Not a king tho.

“Child of lightning, beware the earth, The giants’ revenge the seven shall birth, The forge and dove shall break the cage, And death unleash through Hera’s rage.”

Okay theory time, child of lightning is obviously Jason. Beware the Earth...yeah no clue. The giants’ revenge the seven shall birth, the giants are probably the children of Gaia since that one giant was her child and it’s the seven are probably the seven half bloods from the great prophecy. The forge and dove shall break the cage, um maybe Leo is the forge since he’s hephaestus’s child (probably butchered the spelling). Doves are typically associated with aphrodite/venus, so idk about that. Maybe Piper is Venus’s child, I mean her God parent is her mom and it’d be funny since she was judging the other aphrodite kids. Also I assume Hera will kill whoever trapped her or someone involved since she’s so mad. Idk.

Could kill Drew btw.

CALLED IT CALLED IT CALLED IT IM A GENIUSSS

Wait. This woman looks like Hera, her clothes are made of Earth and she said Leo would fight her children trying to wake her. They’re gonna try to wake Gaia, which would make sense that it said stay away from Earth if she’s the Earth Goddess

I like the wolves thing because Romulus and Remus, ya know the twin boys who were raised by wolf and started Rome.

“You are our saving grace, as always. The she-wolf curled her lip, as if she had just made a clever joke”

I mean yeah his last name is grace

“She must really like this Percy guy to search for him so hard, and that made Jason a little envious. Was anyone searching for him right now? What if somebody cared for him that much and was going out of her mind with worry, and he couldn’t even remember his old life?”

so what if Percy’s just chilling at the Roman version of camp halfblood without a clue to who he is? bro.

Imagine reading this and seeing all of things I get right and wrong and wanting to slam your head into a wall.

Okay like idk why Annabeth was freaking out we kind of knew they were siblings, I mean they have the same dad. Unless this is saying they have the same mom or are twins or something. That’d be cool. That’s probably what he’s saying tbh but still, could’ve emphasized it more than “that’s my sister” like dude.

Anyway, they look very different so that’s funny.

King Boreas? uh.

Oo French

Let’s see what I can translate from the very little duolingo I did. Bienvenu, maybe a greeting. Idk which tho. Je suis Piper, I am Piper. Et c’est Jason, fils de Zeus, and this is Jason, son of Zeus. Vous parlez francais? tres bien, you speak french? good. Hey not bad, not shockingly good but considering I did the duolingo lessons 4 years ago, not bad. Vrai? Truth? Yeah I just looked it up.

Danny devito is alive!

“Leo scratched his head. “Well, I dunno about Enchiladas—”

“Enceladus,” Piper corrected.”

Leo is me omfg

DANNY DEVITO IS BACK

Arrows...HUNTERS OF ARTEMIS PLS?

“Leo stepped out next. “You’re catching me, too, Superman. But I ain’t holding your hand.”

this made me laugh ok moving on

Uh fight a sea monster? bro is Jason just Percy 2.0

“Aphrodite’s message was clear: This one needs no improvement.

And Piper agreed.”

I wonder if you can hear me squealing from hundreds or thousands of miles away

Did you miss the fact that he’s thirty feet tall— I DIED

Who slew titan k-what now? So basically yes. Percy 2.0

Okay I recognize the name Hazel, and all I ask is that she is not involved with Jason because Jason and Piper are really freaking cute.

an exchange of leaders, SO THEY DID SWITCH THEM

The way I called it

I WAS RIGHT AHA

anyways. time to read son of neptune

[dilfbatman]

Hi! what are some of your headcanons on percy being the swim captain when he's in college?

:O THE WAY I HAVE DAYDREAMT OF THIS EXACT SCENARIO & hope you enjoy!

—

- he was captain of the swim team during high school bc sally wanted him to get into some extracurriculars that he’d enjoy & excel at! coach says he’s never seen anyone like perseus and he’s won their school’s swim team gold many times

- a few times he’s had to check himself bc he was being Too Fast and Too Good so he’d watch it but everyone knows that percy jackson is the best swimmer they’ve ever seen and they say he should be an olympian... hehe ;)

- so ofc king gets SCOUTED! he’s one of those student athletes djdjdj he has his blue ahs swim team hoodie and dark blue basketball shorts or dark grey sweats and a chill but tired look in his eyes and he always is drinking water bc hydration is key and it heals him too

- towards the end of the school year and after many swim meets & talking to his mom & coach he gets a glimmer of genuine excitement bc he hasn’t gone on a quest in so long which means he can dedicate his time to being a “normal teenager” rather than a demigod always fearing for his life (tho he’s fought a fair few monsters during lunch breaks at school... seeing hotboy percy jackson with a baseball bat or lacrosse stick fighting some wack looking teenager is always a scene but people are used to it by now smfh)

- SO. he gets to college and swim meets are surprisingly the highlight of his day! he’s an insanely good leader with great morale and wants to keep everyone healthy, safe, and to have them enjoy the sport that they love!

- he’s v dedicated to his team and he’s the type of leader to push them but also make sure they tackle their weaknesses while making sure they know of their strengths and work on both! he can be a hardass when he wants if no one is giving it their all or people are being moody and aren’t listening (which isn’t that often bc percy is both commanding and kind) but most often he’s having a laugh and enjoying his time w his teammates and they’re all collectively learning from each other and helping one another out!

- and to no one’s surprise there are always TONS of onlookers at not only the meets/competitions but also during practice and like... that’s a mood everyone has a crush on percy he’s just super nice & handsome & very skilled

- also his friends are the best and you can always catch them cheering him on & making really cute posters and signs & making lil diy shirts of perseus :’) he usually doesn’t care about if he wins or not bc like he always does win and yes he’s super competitive but like. not in a mean way he’s a team player and a good sport and always hypes up his teammates!

all in all percy is a great talent & a great leader & a great friend :’) i love Him <3

[tornsuits]

1)Continuing off the song ask: why those ones, and also what do u think of "american healthcare" for Oedipus (i do get Daedalus though. that's SO him)? 2)Can u explain your answers for "Which of the other Suits is each member closest to"? 3)HC: Bellerophon was a pilot who flew the experimental car/plane hybrid Pegasus created by Poseidon Industries, who was defeated by a Gadfly-class interceptor when he turned on the Olympians. 4)What do you think the Suits look like?

1) oh american healthcare works wonderfully for oedipus, yeah! big big fan :] as for the other songs:

hercules for oedipus is partially just, like. Vibes. but also these lyrics kind of remind me of him, like, a lot.

maybe i'm reading too far into it? but.

bang! just kind of reminds me of heracles's outlook on life at this point, like. man's just really tired lmao. i get the feeling that he just wants to die spectacularly & then leave his mess of a life behind yknow

good riddance i see as the Ideal Scenario Song bc that would be. the most healthy outlook for her, ig? like, moving beyond trying to meet the expectations of Everyone In The City and just kind of chilling. wires was almost entirely vibes tbh, i need to find a better song for her 😔

i'm not going to explain Every song in orpheus's playlist but if there are specific ones you're curious about 👀

2) yeah i sure can. doesn't mean i will tho

2a) yeah i'm not that mean. i feel like ariadne would be closest with oedipus just because she simply can't stand the other two long enough to have quality bonding time. she & oedipus play spscrabble (space scrabble) together <3

oedipus and heracles are most likely to see each other as peers, i feel like? like, "all of these people are insane but at least you're My kind of insane," y'know. a kind of friendship by proximity. but while i feel like heracles spends the most time with oedipus, if it comes down to a crisis heracles is probably picking orpheus. like oedipus is who heracles would tell a secret but orpheus is the one he actually trusts to keep it yknow

genuinely don't know who orpheus would be closest with. this man is an enigma. i say oedipus just bc 1) o name solidarity and 2) i think they're least likely to get fed up with each other but that's a very low bar

3) oh i like that!! i like that a lot actually

4) orpheus i feel like looks pretty similar to the photoshoot pictures? except i think he dyes his hair & wears more blue. blue is His Color i don't know how to explain it it just is

heracles doesn't look too dissimilar from the photos either? except there's no way he slicks back his hair. hes got like. a buzzcut except he hasn't cut it in a while so it's kind of growing out. also theres no way hes blond

i have no clue what oedipus looks like tbh. my brain usually defaults to the photoshoot but with shorter hair or what he looks like in this art

the way ariadne looks in my head changes every two seconds the only consistent thing is she has a bun. also shes not blonde either

[rogueninja]

Okay so we all know who your top ships are... who are your unpopular ships? Or obscure ships? What characters from what series do you think about often in either good or bad ways? Who is a character that you hate that others love? If you could rewrite a story or part of a book, what would it be and what would you do differently?

Ok I am digging through my brain right now bc if I’m not able to hyperfixate on something then I tend to forget I even liked it. Ok buckle in bc this is gonna be long af. YOU ASKED FOR THIS, REG.

I’m putting a readmore so as not to torture my followers lol

Thinking about Veronica Mars. About Veronica/Logan. Do they have a ship name?? But I love that show and i was THERE for them. They were kind of a surprise ship for me, in that when they got together I was like, wait, WHAT? Like I was totally caught off guard. But there first kiss is, like, sooo romantic to me haha. It’s my fave scene in the show. But Logan is suck a prick sometimes. And they break up like every five minutes. And every season Logan gets accused of murder which of course he ends up not being the murderer. And they get back together eventually and I’m like really? But deep down I am rooting for them lol. I really enjoyed the new season of Veronica Mars that came out last year, actually. The ending made me SO SAD THO.

I also used to watch Supergirl and I thought Kara and Mon-El were adorable. He was very Carswell Thorne-esque, RH, I *think* you would like him. I never watched past season 3(?) though, and he shoots off into space and I never caught up so a few months ago I actually googled what happens and [spoiler] he ends up marrying someone else in the future or something so I was like, ok I’m not investing any more time in this show lol. (Also I had to google Mon-El’s name just now bc i forgot which is a bad look BUT I WAS REALLY RIDE OR DIE FOR THEM FOR A WHILE lol). Also I loved Martian Manhunter in this show, he was my favorite character. But the CGI for him was awful, omg. He had practical makeup at first, they should have just stuck with that.

Speaking of Martian Manhunter, I also used to watch Young Justice and loved Miss Martian/Superboy. Am I basic??? lol oop. But I love basic love stories. Anyway, I thought they were super cute. In season 3 though they’re kind of on the rocks. I haven’t watched season 4. I also loved Artemis/Wally West, but of course that had to end tragically.

Also, let’s talk about Nightcrawler. Allow me to set the scene. Little Kat is 13 and just rediscovered the cartoon she saw a few times as a kid called X-Men: Evolution. And thus, a weird obsession with the German, blue demon boy began. I loved Kurt Wagner. In the cartoon he starts a relationship with Amanda Sefton and I thought they were a-dor-a-ble. She accepted him for who he was, and they had a really nice healthy relationship. A lot of ppl shipped him with Kitty too which i am honestly all for idec I JUST WANT THE BLUE BOI TO BE HAPPY.

Can we talk about A:TLA too??? Like, obviously Zutara, amiright? Power couple. Like, Kataang is.. fine, but its probably my least favorite part about the ending, haha. Also, consider: Tokka. Toph is bae and can get anyone she wants, and she clearly had kind of a crush on Sokka and I think they could have been awesome. It actually kills me that they never say who Lin and Suyin’s father is in LoK. I had a whole theory that it was that kid The Duke from Jet’s band based on like 2 scenes from the series. There’s a tumblr post I made about it somewhere in the ether lol.

I also just remembered Tahnorra (Tahno/Korra) from Legend of Korra. It’s hard for me to explain this one. It’s a weird combination of being hyperfixated on the first season of the show when it came out, and I think I stumbled upon some fic or something???? And I thought Tahno was hot or something??? And FUN FACT, he was voice by Rami Malek BEFORE HE WAS COOL. So like before Rami really got big I knew who he was. He also basically played the Avatar in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 and I thought that connection was hilarious. It was kind of a problematic crack pairing but there was one author in particular whom i follow to this day hoping she’ll update her Tahnorra fics…. *sigh*

Okay one last ship…. I used to be ride or die for Outlaw Queen in Once Upon a Time (aka Regina/Robin Hood). Like, before TLC, I had a personal tumblr renaissance for that ship alone. My only existing published fanfic is for that ship. Taylor Swift’s 1989 came out that year and I related every dang song to that ship. I loved Regina so much and I just wanted her to be happy. That show is a dumpster fire, though, and spat all over my hopes and dreams. *sigh*

Also, lightning round for obscure pairings I ship and/or never talk about:

Frank Castle/Karen Page (The Punisher) ok this one isnt that obscure but I never talk about it… but the pining, oh god the pining

Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth (GoT) THEIR 5 SECONDS TOGETHER ARE THE ONLY WORTHY PART OF SEASON 8. everything after that never happened

I already listed Roy Mustang/Riza Hawkeye (FMAB) as a top pairing previously but I feel the need to mention it again bc it was for real my OG OTP… LIKE U WANNA TALK ABOUT PINING…. *sobs*

Percy/Annabeth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) This used to be my fave book series and i loved how their relationship developed over the course of the books

Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter) ok can we TALK ABOUT THIS??? They were both badass misfits and they were perfect for each other. But noooo JKR has to announce they marry some nobodies…. this is the only change the last movie did right

Midna/Link (Zelda: Twilight Princess) I honestly have no explanation for this lol

Qui-gon Jinn and Shmi (Star Wars) CAN U IMAGINE if anakin had a proper father figure and didnt have to abandon his mother to slavery

Obi-wan/Satine…. (Star Wars: The clone Wars) we know whats up

OK, to answer some of your other questions: character I hate that others love. HMMMM…….

This one seems too easy/obvious but Professor Snape? Like obviously there’s already a ton of discourse surrounding this but he was gross, mistreated his students for years, committed atrocities, couldn’t get over his high school crush, and we’re supposed to believe he’s a hero in the end and HARRY WOULD NAME HIS SON AFTER HIM….. uh no. “Always” is gross.

I’ve literally been wracking my brain for days and I can’t think of any more characters for this. OK I did some googling and I remembered some LOL.

Ross from friends…. I literally can’t stand him. He’s so entitled and just the worst. He tries to act like he’s the nice, sensitive guy, but really he is so full of himself. Joey on the other hand is portrayed as a womanizer but is actually super sweet and I love him

Archie from Riverdale… I have only seen the first 1.5 seasons ish but he is the worst…. we’re supposed to believe he’s some easygoing musically gifted football player but instead he manages to pull off being bland as heck and actually kind of a terrible garbage person

Nick from chilling adventures of Sabrina. I hate characters that are like hitting on the main character even though she has a bf and are like dark and broody and sexy blah blah blah…. I liked Harvey way better. I never finished season 2 tho

Emma Swan from Once Upon a Time? Idk she was fine she just got old after a while

If you could rewrite a story or part of a book, what would it be and what would you do differently?

HM. First, Harry would name his son Remus Rebeus Potter LOL. Ok but real talk there was a headcanon floating around forever ago that Harry should have become a professor at Hogwarts instead of an auror and I am 100% on board

Ok, ok….. what abouuuttt…… OK, is star wars when Han and Leia get together. I like them as a couple, but the entire first half of the movie Han is being such an ass. And when they kiss the first time, he’s being SOOO creepy. It’s like so quintessentially 80s romance. and HERE’S THE THING. They actually filmed (or maybe just wrote?) a version of that scene that WASNT CREEPY. And i’m like WHY DIDNT YOU USE THAT?!? So I like to pretend that’s the version that actually happened.

This part is way harder than the shipping portion. If I think of anything else i’l dm you. I HOPE YOU ENJOY READING THIS NOVEL LENGTH POST OF ME RAMBLING ABOUT MY FIXATIONS OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS. If anyone actually read this far, you deserve a cup of hot chocolate and a blanket

[imagine-lcorp]

Share Your Self Care!

Once again, I was tagged by my wonderful little rascal @marvelsdc22 thank you, my dear :D Now let’s share!

🌿 favorite comfort food: Bread, cookies, and whatever cereal is around haha, seriously i have a thing for bread-y(? things so whatever can go with a lil milk or coffee, I’m down. 

🌼 favorite drink: Coffee all the way, more specifically Cafè de Olla (spiced coffee), which is traditional here, basically coffee with cinnamon, tastes really goooood

🌷 favorite relaxing activity: Reading, reading all the way...I also have a shit ton of book at home so I have many many options

🌻 favorite calming scent: Cinnamon, that smell when it rains too, i guess that’s why i love rainy days, and coffee, always coffee.

🌺 favorite relaxing (or uplifting) song: For me it has to be Never Let Me Go by Florence and the Machine, you just gotta sit of lay down in your bed, close your eyes and leave the song...oh gosh is so relaxing, tho it’s a lil sad really

🍄 favorite book to get lost in: Ditto, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, also recently I just finished “This is how you lose the time war” and omg that book is everything!! 100% reccommend.

💐 favorite chill-out TV show: Avatar The last airbender, always.

🌹 the best advice you’ve ever had: It’s gonna sound really clichè and you probably already heard it but it goes if you are afraid of doing something, do it with fear...It is so easy to stop doing things when you’re afraid of what will happen or how or what other people might think but if there’s something you really want you have to go for it, you can deal with whatever later, and this is something i try to always remember.

now, idk, guess i don’t know who to tag anymore xD my usual faves @wlw-with-reader @multifandom-imagines-things @fire-and-blood-targaryen @veteranwerewolf95 also sorry if this is a lot of spam  but i just came back!!

[katieamazeballs]

In regards to this not known yet NBA guy. Retired doesn't mean he is for certain old, athletes retire at diff ages for diff reasons, the show has had 3 bb players in past 24 seasons, it is a bit premature to assume since they didn't do well (tho Fox stuck around awhile) this guy will for sure suck too. So to SOME S fans, chill a bit & to some fans of other pros laughing at what will be a 'for certain' early exit for S, maybe slow the roll a bit. Well known or ringers aren't always money either.

No one knows how anyone is going to do until they hit the dance floor.  On paper, Heather was the ringiest ringer to ever ring on DWTS.  She is a legitimate professional dancer.  However, she didn’t connect with the audience, therefore she went home way before she should have.  Tommy Freakin Chong went to 5th place (when an Olympian went out first) and so did Jerry Springer.  Both of them were old and very unathletic.  Bill Engvall went to the finals.  Don’t ever discredit someone with a mild amount of rhythm, good work ethic,and personality.  They will always go further than a ringer with the personality of a dishtowel (unless they’re with Sharna....and then they’ll get to week 8)

[mystic-messenger-writing]

How do you think they would react to MC being like on a national level swimmer who dreams are the Olympics? Or state level (which is huge where i am from. Im australian and a swimmer and those are my dreams hahaha. Almost there tho!) - do RFA + V and Unknown along with them. ;--;

Oh my gosh, how exciting! When I see you’re famous and I see you on TV one day I’ll be like ‘Yeah I know them, they asked for a request on my Tumblr!’ Although I’m going to have to say I really don’t know much about swimming. All of my swimmer knowledge comes from watching Free! and like two Olympic matches so I’m sorry if the swimming terminology is incorrect! I still hope that you enjoy and good luck my friend!! :D 

Yoosung

Yoosung is so incredible hyped when you tell him that you’re a professional swimmer

Jaehee

Jaehee loves the fact that you’re a swimmer!

She watches swimming on her off time so when she finds out that you’re a swimmer she’s so excited

Starts asking you a millions questions and honestly, it’s so cute to see her so excited

Jaehee almost fainted from excitment when you told her that you were trying to go to the Olympics someday

She helps you with a training regiment and basically becomes you’re new coach

Every single practice she’ll be there as well as your swim meets

She’s always waiting for you at the end and will hug you, jumping up and down when she sees your times

Watching you swim gives Jaehee something to be happy about and since seeing her happy makes you happy, you tell her that one day you’ll be standing on the podium with a gold medal with her at your side

Jumin

Jumin is pleasantly surprised to find out that you’re a swimmer

He’s actually quite knowledgeable about swimming and even offers to hire a personal coach and trainer for you

He’ll rent out an entire swimming stadium for your to practice with and one of his favorite things to do is to bring Elizabeth the 3rd with him and watch you practice

When you tell Jumin that you’re trying to become an Olympic swimmer, he’s got his phone out trying to call the Olympic committee to get you in

You have to explain to him that you want to get in because you worke hard and not because of his status

He understands and makes sure to schedule his meetings around your matches since he loves watching you swim

Always waiting for you at the end to wrap you in a towel and tell you how proud he is of you

Jumin becomes extremely supportive of your swimming goals and promises that he won’t give up until you’ve won gold

Seven

Seven can hardly believe it when you tell him that you’re a swimmer!

He’s never really been into sports, but he’s always enjoyed watching swimming so now he’s hyped

Seven wants to hack into the Olympic committee’s system to get you in when you tell him that you dream of being an Olympian swimmer

You tell Seven to chill and if he wants to help, he can cheer you on instead

He agrees and goes to all of your practices and matches, making up ridiculous cheers but they’re actually pretty cute

Like when you’re doing the backstroke, Seven will yell “My girlfriend’s got backstroke for days!”

He always waits for you at the end and screams about how amazing you swam and how proud of you he is

Seven said that neither himself or you will rest until you become the most decorated Olympian swimmer

V

V absolutely loves the fact that you’re a swimmer!

This boy is really interested in whatever you do, but becomes especially excited to hear that you’re a swimmer

He can’t really see well enough to try and give you advice but he’ll tell you that he’s sure that you always do an amazing job

V took a photo of you swimming the breaststroke and it’s now his favorite picture ever and he keeps a copy with him at all times

Tries his best to go to every single one of your matches and always gets excited and cheers for you it’s the sweetest thing ever

He gives you so much encouragement when you tell him that you’re trying to become an Olympian swimmer and promises to always be there for you to cheer you on

V sincerely wants to see you succeed and promises that one day he’ll take a picture with you and your gold medal

Unknown

Saeran is really interested and somewhat hesitant to hear that you’re a swimmer

He’s not a great swimmer himself so he can get nervous around a huge pool of water

But seeing how happy you are when you talk about swimming makes him curious enough to watch your practices

Saeran’s eyes light up the first time he sees you swim and at that moment on, he becomes your number one supporter

He actually approaches you on teaching him how to swim better to which you happily agree of course

He gets super pumped when you tell him that you’re trying to become an Olympian swimmer and says that he’ll be there with you every step of the way

He’s always there at the end of each match to tell you how good you performed and to glare at the other swimmers

Saeran genuinely wants to see you succeed and tells you that he’ll stay by your side until you become a gold medalists

Not by like, a standard definition? I guess not

> 8. what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?

A bit back I really liked Watsky and The Killers. Also had a big ole My Chemical Romance, Bring Me the Horizon, and Sleeping with Sirens phase a couple years ago if you wanna count those haha. But right now its not really a set of artists, just whatever friends/Spotify shows me that I end up liking.> 9. are you an artist?

Yeah! Got an art blog and everything> 10. do you have a creed?

I used this in question no. 30 earlier but honestly? It sums up things pretty well:“I’m gonna sleep and I’m gonna wake up and I swear by everything in this deadly horrible universe i’m gonna make someone happy.”> 11. describe your ideal day.

Personal or social ideal day? I mean, probably just chilling n hanging with friends you know? Maybe going out to a park or movie or bookstore n screwing around with terrible book recommendations or “hey I dare you to down that entire smoothie in one go” “$5 and consider it Done.” Dumb stuff.A game of like, smash bros or mario cart. Or an intense monopoly showdown -  movie w popcorn or whatever other snacks, possible blanket fort shenanigans or just this giant mess of covers on the ground everyone’s sitting on. Lying down n sharing cool ideas about space. Or earth. Or that weird looking bug you saw that one time and it _might_ have been a leaf, but who really cares? It looked cool and makes for a neat story. You know?I dunno

CAT i’m cool with dogs for shorter periods of time but i could live three-hundred years with a cat

Summer? indoors. Winter? outdoors. Florida? Indoors 24/7
