#show parallels

[heretherebedork]

The parallels between Tong and Ter are just getting to me, y'all.

It's about using people who love you and dangling a carrot in front of them to get them to help you through emotional manipulation and knowing that you're doing it.

It's about turning them down (heck, dating their sister) but still expecting them to do things for you and save the day when you can't because love is entirely conditional on your whims and your needs.

It's about flirting because you know he wants you to and smiling at him but always prioritizing the rest of the world in the end because he loves you but you don't love him and all you need is him on just enough string to dance.

It's about asking for a favor, telling him to help you, saying that this time it'll be what you truly need and it'll save you and it'll be the right thing this time, won't it, shouldn't he be happy for you?

It's about Dee growing more and more obsessed with the scholarship because Ter turned him down and then asked him for a favor at the same time and how much this need to win will hurt Yak in the end because he's struggling with his own sudden negative feelings towards love.

It's about how Ming is so damaged and toxic that he kidnapped Joe on Tong's whim and destroyed his future because the only love he understood or knew was Tong's damaging actions and choices and his own guilt over his sister's illness.

It's about using love like puppet strings for your own benefit and how it hurts the other person more than it hurts you, how it can damage so many people in the end and yet the strings keep those hurting hands clean and they never get blamed for the supposed choices of others that they orchestrated.

Dee and Ming has both carried love in their heart for men who could never appreciate them, could never love them, and what was done to them will now hurt the men that they can love because they're still clinging to the idea of love they first discovered rather than what is waiting for them, what is right in front of them.

And Yak and Joe will pay the price for what Ter and Tong have wrought on Dee and Ming.

No one asked for this but here are some You and YOUng Royals parallels I noticed👀

1. The main character in both series FINALLY got the sense to buy curtains

2. There's a scene where one supporting character is wearing that hat which has African uncles in a chokehold... with a gun in the vicinity

I had to do something that I did not want to do, even though it was my job. And it hurt them.

IN EP 1 SALLY WAS SMILING WHILE IN THE RAIN

IN EP 7 IT RAINS RIGHT WHEN POSEIDON COMES TO ANSWER SALLY’S CALL

THE RAIN COMFORTS HER BC IT REMINDS HER OF WHEN POSEIDON CAME TO COMFORT HER

Reminds me of someone...

The parallels never stop

Especially in the first one, that is almost perfectly Silco's act one eye but pink

And to think that anyone still sees her as Vander's daughter?

HELLO HOW did i never pick up on the fact that annabeth gives percy her camp necklace for good luck in the lightning thief. and in the battle of the labyrinth when she kisses him, percy considers it a good luck kiss. and then OBVIOUSLY, in the last olympian: “don’t i get a kiss for luck? it’s kind of a tradition, right?” HOW DID I NEVER REALIZE

buck going to the filmset to tell bobby athena's not only on the plane but flying it, welcome back evan buckley who gave athena his turnouts and told her how to get through the fire to bobby after he'd been shot because he knew what it was like to stand by and do nothing for Your Person and that if there was anyone who could save them it's always going to be the person who loves them most in the world...

I would've worshipped Athena forever that way, in silence.

Then he came

And I felt like he saw me in a way l'd never been seen before.
