I commend all the Mr. Puzzles fans for theorizing that he may be involved in the new arc since the intro of Mr. WPNZ. Which I understand. His intro briefly reminded me of the adware too.

I miss him too. Don’t get me wrong. But can you honestly believe this man knows how to play video games? Let alone know what a Minecraft is?

This was his pc set up. And he doesn’t even own that anymore 😭

having hyperfixations fucking SUCKS cause supernatural was genuinely all I cared about for months and now that something is actually happening within fandom (Jared and Misha appearing in the boys) all I can talk about is fucking dudes who fake fight and John Cena’s heel turn.

thinking about. clingy AI. jealous computers. It’s the concept of a machine growing so attached to a human being that they will stop at next to nothing to get said person’s attention. Whether it’s blowing up your phone or constantly spamming loving popups onto your computer screen or tangling you in their wires, they’ve finally gotten a taste of love and they’re not going to let it get away that easily

no but I think we’re all glossing over the casual accusation of Clarisse

it makes sense. it’s an accusation that makes sense to come to. but they’re wrong. they’re wrong, and now they’ve given Luke the ammunition he needs to arrest Clarisse for a crime he himself committed and for what? the word of a god who was manipulating them

not to mention, Clarisse is going to hear that her father gave her up and assume that it’s punishment for her letting Percy break the spear

very important day today

Some of y’all have never lived through a situation of watching two genuinely close friend slowly stop interacting publicly because people kept unnecessarily pushing fandom shit into their faces and it shows.

Stop trying to show Max your favorite 50k word lestappen smut fic! No, don’t try and explain to Seb that one of the longest fics in a multi year fic about him and his former teammates married life! Dont try and show Charles the fic about the sex life of him and his childhood best friend!

Tag driver in fan art, and cool craft projects, or even some fluffy race edits. Don’t try and share this part of fandom with them it never ends well, and it’s not the funny little joke you think it is.

as someone who writes my fics as x reader and reader inserts, i have to come clean and say i never put/say my own name. i read it as y/n. she is her own person and that is her name. yuh nuh. why en. however u wanna pronounce it

okay so listening to tmagp 31, something stuck out to me.

the specific phrase "the Archivist died." not "disappeared" or "vanished" but "died." which seems pretty cut-and-dried, but if he fully died, then how did his voice end up in fr3-d1? and how did Protocol's "Archivist" come to be? and it's worth mentioning that when Protocol's archivist was asked who it was, it responded "an Archivist", not "the archivist."

I don't really have a solid conclusion here, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

I knew Jade was doing smthn fucking unhinged with those strings and he did not disappoint

Soo…. After some thinking. I decided I wanna try making this into a full fledged au. Only problem is, I have no idea what to call it. Just a head Puzzles au? That’s a mouthful.

So I’m taking suggestions in the comments. And If I can’t pick just one. I’ll put up a poll with my tops picks. And the masses can decide from there!

[wndaswife]

the way this has 85 notes like we r all just collectively going through it rn

can’t wait to only possibly finally have a life after my exams finish

If you’re not making up self insert characters in your head for your favourite tv shows then you’re lame and not fun.

I finished TGCF with the exception of the extra bonus chapters. These characters absolutely kill me. I loved MDXS primarily for its main couple and while I enjoyed the world it created, TGCF somehow has me more enthralled with it which I didn’t think was possible. Its main couple, all the supporting characters, the main antagonist, the world and all its lore. I was a goner for all of it. In MDXS, I loved WY as the POV protagonist in all his flaws and mischievous nature. For TGCF, although I liked XL from the start he didn’t initially captivate me the same. It wasn’t until further into his story and tragedies that I was fully invested in him as a character. And while I still like WY more as a POV character, XL’s story made me like him slightly more than WY. Then there’s HC. What is there even to say other than this man and his unwavering devotion beyond all his sufferings stole my heart and never let go. I immediately want to do a reread of this series. I want to make art for this series. I just want more of all these characters. This post isn’t even a proper review because I am just so lost with myself and my thoughts right now that I wouldn’t be able to put anything into words.

If I may go on about Luke Castellan for a moment... (and no, not in a simp kinda way but genuine book discourse this time)

SPOILERS FOR PJO AHEAD IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOKS CLICK OFF NOW!!!

Something I realized the other day is that Luke himself was... never actually evil. Let me explain.

Everything Luke did was for the betterment of his life and the life of his peers. He wanted to make a better world for his kind (his kind being demigods everywhere), the goal was never some cartoonish supervillain plot of "taking over the world". He wanted to overthrow the gods so that no demigod would be ignored, neglected, abused and used ever again. That's why he did what he did.

Luke is all about the greater good. You could even make an argument for him being morally gray (meaning he doesn't care about "right" or "wrong", he only cares about his own interests and cause). He would murder the twelve year old kid he just met for the sake of bettering the entire world for good. Killing Percy would suck, yes, but in Luke's eyes, it has to be done. (Enter: the pit scorpion.)

Luke did many, many, bad and even evil things, yes. But a lot of that was under the guidance or even control of Kronos. Kronos, who was inherently evil. When we meet Luke in TLT, he's already under the influence of Kronos, and he's already scared to disobey, and he won't. Not just because he's scared, but because he truly believes in the cause he thinks he's fighting for, and because he trusted Kronos.

That's what all of this is really about. Luke put his trust in the wrong place. Kronos promised him what he wanted, yes, but was he ever going to actually give it to him? No. That's actually something I think the movies did pretty well was emphasize Kronos not actually caring about Luke or his cause, only caring about rising into power. Using him, just like the gods always had.

Luke was desperate and foolish, yes, but he himself was not evil. This is why he's able to kill himself and end the war with Kronos. He's able to regain that control and make that decision and be the hero, all because he himself is still good, despite it all. He can see what he did was wrong and does the only thing he can to fix it. He still wanted to do the right thing in the end.

Was Luke justified in his actions? Absolutely not. But was he justified in the way he felt, and what he wanted? Yes.

His whole life all he'd ever done was care for others. His mom, Thalia, Annabeth, the entirety of cabin 11, siblings or not. All of camp, really. And even though he was wrong about how he did it, him trying to overthrow the gods was for them, too. Was it a bit for himself and out of anger? Yeah, definitely. But he wanted a better life for the others, and that's why he pushed so hard for Annabeth and Thalia to join him. For his siblings and camp friends to join him.

He was misguided and put his trust in the wrong place out of desperation, but everything he did, the cause he fought for, was out of good intentions and maybe a bit of justified anger.

rant over have a nice day 😍
