#relating to her trip

I'm officially an old person now. I literally didn't know Rick Riordan wrote anything new. I get my news from this hellsite (affectionate) and I was like, wait, solangelo is canon? AND it isn't a fanfic???

I love the idea that everything (positive) that Lila lies about somehow comes true for Marinette.

Lila lies about having connections to the queen of England? Suddenly, Marinette is getting regular commissions from the queen herself and forms quite the acquaintance-ship w the royal family.

Lila "is practically family" to an Italian mafia? Marinettes grandmother has quite an eccentric background, and through her, Marinette somehow manages to get a local Italian Mafia to pseudo-adopt her. (Only because she refused to actually be adopted, much to their disappointment)

Lila "went on tour" with Jagged Stone? Guess who wants his favorite designer to accompany him for his U.S. tour during the summer?

Oh, Lila says she acted in a movie for Graham de Vanily Films? Guess who ends up accidentally staring in a Graham de Vanily film?

I just want all the positive things that Lila lies about to happen to Marinette, who is sufficiently surprised every time (you'd think she'd be used to it by now), meanwhile, in the background, Lila gets progressively more pissed.

And the worst part? Every time she tries to upstage Marinette with something even bigger and grander than Marrinettes' own accomplishments? No matter how ridiculous, Marinette somehow ends up stumbling upon That. Exact. Opportunity.

It's incredibly frustrating.

You could say Marinette has some miraculous luck, despite how adamantly Tikki denies any involvement in these increasingly ridiculous turns of events.

All in all; Lila is frustrated, Marinette is frustrated, and Tikki is very amused (as are Adrien and Plagg, who watch this shit-show from the background).

I'm sorry but the take "white girls shouldn't relate to Katniss bc she's native coded!" I've seen circling around on tiktok is so braindead. Like, why?? Why can't people relate to a FICTIONAL CHARACTER because of race? Katniss IS relatable. She's funny and snarky and silly. Why are yall gatekeeping her??? 💀💀 relating to a character is not the end of the world

The Lost Heir

"So long as Theon Greyjoy sits in your father's seat with your brothers' blood on his hands, these other foes must wait," Catelyn told her son. "Your first duty is to defend your own people, win back Winterfell, and hang Theon in a crow's cage to die slowly. Or else put off that crown for good, Robb, for men will know that you are no true king at all." From the way Robb looked at her, she could tell that it had been a long while since anyone had dared speak to him so bluntly. -Catelyn II, aSoS

no, but the way that even in asos post-jaime release, catelyn's still the only one who can speak to robb so bluntly, with no pushback from him here (only a hint of defensiveness, but no assertion of kingly authority), but only bc she's urging him onto violent vengeance befitting a warrior king. the detoriation of their relationship had a lot to do with him being crowned and the reverse in power dynamics, but there was also a shift in messaging from catelyn. when they first reunited after ned's arrest, she wasn't happy about him leading the army but agreed it was too late to turn back, and furthermore, more importantly agreed that they had to go to war regardless as the only way to save their family, bluntly telling him victory on the field was the only way to do that and that if he lost they'd all die. afterwards, once ned was beyond rescue, she changed her tune to talk of peace to save her daughters. being a woman is not too much a dealbreaker in itself for robb or most of his vassals (see mormont women fighting in all robb's battles) but acting too soft, too much like a worried mother, and later treating the king himself as still a child to be protected, that's just going too far. a warzone is no place for a woman who can't fight and worse, can't even be gung-ho enough to support all her son's violence while worrying about the danger he's in and the plight of her other children.

"kings aren't supposed to have mothers" is a sword that cuts both ways against mother and royal teen son. a boy who comes into power at 15 is only a year away from westerosi coming of age, "almost a man grown", and so must prove his manhood accordingly from the start. a boy of that age should become a man upon his father's death, so a surviving parent still treating him as their child is surplus to requirements. more convenient if she could be politically dead too, fading into the background and not asserting herself too much as a mother to the teen ruler. by the standards of their society, not only is he ranked above her once coming into power but it's his job to protect her as manly head of the family, certainly not the other way around. by the time of asos, robb is officially a man grown at 16, but has also made his own softhearted mistakes. first, by releasing his buddy theon no strings attached (a choice i doubt those lords who fought against balon's first rebellion liked any more than catelyn did), and then, compounding the original theon-related mistake, marrying jeyne westerling at the cost of his military cause after falling into her bed in his grief over theon's alleged murders of bran and rickon. he can publicly pardon his mother's release of jaime as a magnanimous king understanding a mother's womanly softness, but has all the more reason to assert his own manly strength once again. that prick lord karstark was the only one actually expecting the king to punish his own mother for treason, but most of the other lords, like the greatjon umber, could only forgive her in a patronizing way. "It was a mother's folly. Women are made that way." surely, they'd all think she had just proved they were right to dismiss her talk of peace before the greatjon made robb king, and surely they'd believe she'd fully proven she was not fit to be a trusted adviser after ned's death. what kind of weak mama's boy would still listen to a hysterical, grieving mother who cared more about her children's safety than winning the war? after making his own unwise choices driven by love, robb could not be contaminated by catelyn's. the king who lost the north had to lose his mother at his side too to compensate. kill the always respectful son looking to his mother for answers to let the king be born, or something.

I’m going to Vegas for lunar new year and I leave early in the morning on Thursday. Which means my bag has to be packed before I go to bed on Wednesday but, I’m going to play trivia Wednesday night, it starts at 7 so I’m probably getting there at 530. Which means I’m getting picked up at 515, therefore I have to get in the shower by 3 at the latest, so I have to finish my housework and eat lunch by 1. All of that would be fine except the suitcase I was going to use is too small so I have to wait for my mother to drop off the big one. Not to mention, I still haven’t shaved so, now because I missed my normal shower window I’m going to have to motivate myself.

TLDR, I waited too long and now I’m behind…please tell me that’s how other’s brains work too

This is the wildest rewrite idea I came up with so far (and the biggest one in terms of departure from canon), but here goes nothing.

I think Kel and Hero’s mother should’ve died of complications from giving birth to Kel. I like this idea mainly because it’d make their relationship an “inverse” of sorts to Sunny and Mari’s - in the latter’s case, the younger sibling would resent the older one whereas in the former’s case, the older sibling would resent the younger one - and IMO that’d give it a bit more flavor.

Perhaps their father would lie to Kel that his mom passed away due to natural causes or an accident (and never specify the kind of that accident), but Kel would slowly start suspecting something else at play because of how distant Hero seems to be at times. Hero would see his little brother as the single largest reminder of what he lost, and that’d put a strain on their relationship.

I think this idea would necessitate changing the way the friend group came to be. Maybe Aubrey would be the first person Sunny and Mari befriend, then she’d bring Basil in, and that would be followed by Hero joining, probably after meeting Mari herself. He’d spend time with them because he wants to get away from his home, which he regards as a grave for his mother. He can’t stand seeing pictures of her, he can’t look at the bed she used to share with his father and he wants to detach himself from Kel somehow.

Then, some time later, Kel decides to follow his older brother and meets with the friend group too because he wants to spend more time with him. He’d hit it off with Sunny immediately, and Mari wouldn’t see anything wrong with letting him in, but Hero would for obvious reasons. Of course, he couldn’t simply chase him away - what kind of big brother would do that? Maybe he’d take inspiration from Mari and make himself the group’s “dad”, try to take care of the kids and keep himself together until-

Well.

I think this idea would also lay more solid groundwork for Hero’s complete shutdown and subsequent outburst at Kel. His beloved girlfriend killing herself while he’s still reeling from the loss of his mom wouldn’t be a cakewalk, after all. And hey, that outburst could even confirm Kel’s aforementioned suspicions 🙂

Finally, it’d make Hero’s pursuit of a degree in medicine more tragic. What if he wanted to honor his dead mother’s wish the best he could, but also had this irrational feeling he wouldn't be doing right by her if he were to become a doctor?

A doctor’s job is to save people’s lives, right?

So why couldn’t the doctors save his mother?
