âJason was so boringâ âJason had no personalityâ what are you talking about
Jason Grace was a child soldier and the son of the KING OF THE GODS. The pressure on him was so huge and the training of the Roman legions was so intense all he ever really did was train. As soon as he was old enough he was put in positions of leadership and power cause heâs the son of Jupiter, leader of the gods, he must be a natural born leader, right?
But his entire character arc revolves around him realising that he can be more than what the Romans made him into, that he can have his own opinions, his own hobbies, love who he wants, live where he wants.
He was the first person to start defending Nico, the first to accept Nico and tell him sincerely that there was nothing wrong with him and that everyone at BOTH camps would accept him and have his back - and if they didnât theyâd have Jason to answer to.
He was sure to always give Reyna the credit she deserved and constantly felt guilty for when he made her shoulder the responsibilities. Throughout HoH heâs got half of his mind on her, praying sheâs okay, tracking her progress in his dreams because gods FORBID anything happen to that brilliant woman whom he loved platonically but wholeheartedly.
When they found Leo again after he was at Ogygia, Jason recognised in an instant just from the way Leo was sitting that something was off. When everyone pestered him with questions, Jason took charge to get the limelight off of Leo as much as possible, and checked in with him the minute they were alone.
Jason Grace is fiercely loving, always looks out for those who need support, always sides with the underdogs, always does whatâs right even when itâs hard, often does whatâs expected even when he doesnât want to, but if he can take the burden off of someone else he will ALWAYS step up.
He has the honour and bravery of a soldier and carries all of the trauma and doubt that comes with it.
And on top of all of this he was just sixteen years old.
Jason Grace isnât boring, it just took some time for us to understand why he acts the way he does - always composed and in charge. He is not perfect, but he was always trained/expected to be, and watching the perfect mask crack and seeing his true inner thoughts throughout HoO is what makes his character so interesting.
#sorry that was long#but now that heâs gone I just feel very protective of him#jason grace was never boring#and Iâm really sad we never got to see him fully grow into his own person#I LIVED for his interactions with Nico#he was like the big brother he never had#and his moments with Percy were also amazing#jason grace#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#nico di angelo#reyna avila ramirez arellano#leo valdez

Carm would be so so clueless when youâre flirting with him and would take stuff so literally and youâre just head in hands shaking coz even with your terrible and obvious flirting he isnât picking up a hint and that means you need to verbalise it even more explicitly and thatâs just so embarrassingggggg
this is so cute but sooo REALLL. he has next to no experience w people romantically so he more than likely either doesn't detect it, or can't believe someone like you would even flirt with him.
like after awhile of yall knowing each other and you coming to terms w your feelings for him you finally decide to just be playful and go for it. maybe you start w thoughtful things like you knew he'd been staying up all night at the restaurant so you bring him a yummy coffee homemade in a to-go cup in the morning. you'd set it on his desk in cute, loopy cursive letters and a heart facing him, so the first thing he sees is 'đŹđȘđ»đ¶đ â„'. he literally would get so confused but once he looks up from his pile of paperwork that comes with opening a new place he'd get butterflies at the sight of you standing there, your cheeks cute, red, and round from your big smile, too stunned to say smth.
"for you! i made it." you'd motion to the cup once you realize he isn't going to speak and he almost jumps a bit in surprise. the look on his face unbelieving like, 'for me?? thats for me??'
he would thank you softly, cheeks even redder than yours. but not because he thinks you're flirting with him, no-- it's because he's giddy at the thought that you brought him a coffee and he shouldn't be because you don't mean it as anything more than a friendly offering.
after a little moment of awkward silence, carmy taking the cup and thumb rubbing over his name, you'd clear your throat a bit. "you're welcome.. you know, the barista thought you were pretty cute." the words just tumbled out a bit ungracefully, a little stutter cutting in along the way.
at that carmy looks up at you, brows knitted in total, earnest confusion. "i thought you said you made it yourself?" he'd say and your jaw would literally fall open, because how daft could he be? that was the point of the joke?
a chorus of 'uuhhh's and 'nevermind just enjoy' would come stringing along from your mouth and you turn to exit the office. behind you watching the whole thing is sydney with her jaw on the floor and richie with a smirk, taking a bite of a muffin. you approach them, head shaking and palm hitting your forehead, asking if they saw that.
richie would give it a few minutes to gossip with you two, laugh about how stupid carmy was, before sauntering into the little office. "you, cousin, are a fuckin' idiot. you know that?" richie would say, towering over the man, earning a confused look from carmy just like he gave you before. ignoring carmy (because he definitely isn't gonna tell him since that was much too fun to watch) richie grabs the cup and takes a swig, an appreciative frown growing on his lips as he nodded in appreciation. "good."
"that's mine, freak, give it back." and carmy snatches it because you made it for him and now he cherishes it and yeah it's good as fuck.
#sorry that was long#but the little prompt is so cuteeee ty anon#carmy berzatto#carmen berzatto#the bear#carmy berzatto x reader#carmy berzatto drabble#carmen berzatto x reader#anon

I was researching, and I realized that the timeline of the circle is completely wrong.
For example, Jocelyn was born in 1970; and she said that she fell in love with Valentine around the age of 16. However, in "The Evil We Love" in "Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy", which takes place in 1984, she and Valentine are already together. However, in 1984, Jocelyn was supposedly 14 years old, which makes no sense at all! Taking into consideration that Jonathan was born in April 1990, we can have the notion that he was conceived around July 1989. We know that Jocelyn was 19 at the time, and she herself said that she got married at 18 (supposedly in 1988).
but then again, Jocelyn had already turned 38 in 2007, just as Jonathan/Sebastian had already turned 17. and if we do the math, it seems that Jocelyn gave birth to her firstborn at 21, when logically she would have given birth at 20. i don't know, i feel confused now, and this is just one of the cases. another confusing case is that of Celine and Stephen (+conception of Jace).
#sorry that was long#but i really had to say how confused i feel rn#Jocelyn Fairchild#Jocelyn Fray#Jocelyn Morgenstern#Valentine Morgenstern#jonathan morgenstern#clary fairchild#celine montclaire#stephen herondale#jace herondale#I hope you all understand because my thoughts are kinda messy right now

its been 2+ weeks since my show and I'm still not over it, i'm not sure im ever getting over it actually it was the best day ever. Woke up at 5 to drive up to oakland to get our wristbands, drove around sf n got food, went to an A's game cuz it was next door and then i sat in a line for 5 hours which was painful in the moment but rn i would give anything to be back there surrounded by everyone. And then fucking getting into the venue, the shared excitement of those of us in the red circle, the guys in front of me who told me theyd make sure i would stay safe during the show, and ofc the fucking show was the best night of my life and the fact that I couldnt see anything for literally two straight hours didnt matter when josh was literally right in front of me for trees. been waiting over half my life for that moment i cant believe it happened
#genuinely almost threw up multiple times that day#i will NOT shut up about this show sorry#only bad part was holy shit my leg was fucked up#been injured for a few years now cuz my sport but instead of healing over time like a lot of my injuries do#its just lowkey gotten worse#being out and about all day fucked it up bad#like by 2 that day i couldnt even stand on it anymore i literally sat on the ground from 2-7 and then sat on the floor in the pit until#the opener started#and the next day i literally couldnt walk i just kinda slept most of the day tbh#im still recovering from it actually#-frankie#sorry that was long#clancy spoilers#(?)

So jealous you love in la i bet the show was so goodđ also love that orville wears his mask everywhere lmao
It definitely has its pros and cons but living in a city where pretty much every artist performs is definitely at the top of the pro list! And itâs kinda funny when T&K reference local things like this that I just so happened to be at too lol
Honestly it was such a good show đ I love Tina& Amy so much and have been fans of them for forever so it was everything I expected and more. I know theyâre touring through next year and hopefully they keep adding more cities so you can see them too!
Also, seeing Orville irl was so funny because the hat and mask are his disguises but it actually just makes him stand out more so the whole YouTube theater saw him come in. He also sat down like right before the show started and everyone else was already seated so there was a hush over the crowd as everyone watched him. Idk I laughed. Also also my friend was seated a few rows behind him and he blocked the view with his giant cowboy hat so she took a picture and since I was seated a few rows in front you can see the back of my head⊠and thatâs how I technically have a picture with Orville Peck lmao
#sorry that was long#more story time from me lol#I was at both T&K live shows in LA last year and I was going to do a write up about it because they made some changes but never did whoops#so I guess I kinda did just now?#I was also supposed to go to both LA&SD pods so if I can make the rescheduled dates Iâll for sure post about those#since theyâre still not recording most of them#I actually emailed the production company to find out which pods they would be recording#they said they couldnât share but that a big factor was not all theaters will allow them to record#so thatâs more of a reason why than them just wanting to pretend to save stories lol#which they can never remember anyways so it doesnât really matter!#so yeah NOLA was recorded and Houston/Minneapolis/Montreal werenât literally because of theater viewing rights#which you would think they could just plan for beforehand?#but I also believe that they do want to make some of the shows special and unique and not recording takes the pressure off#to have new stories every time#also the reactions to the live pod really vary and now I think they should save them too#itâs funner to see them irl and have it live it the moment anyways#okay I swear Iâm done now

I was surprised to see you put george in absolute best - did you like him the whole time??? I had moments where I loved him but he ended up being too irredeemable for me so im curious to hear your thoughts
he's always been one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite character! a character being entertaining is way more important to me than their likability and I am almost always entertained by george. take owen for example: i absolutely hate him and don't find him likable because he is a smug murderous abuser but i find him very entertaining. the show has lots of great villains who are awful people but we all love them because they are charismatic and fun to watch. I feel the same way about george.
he brings a lot of the show's humor and i like his awkwardness. his nerdyness and intelligence contrasts well with his monstrous side and i like seeing his progression in season 1 towards becoming more accepting of himself. i will also admit that out of the 3 supernaturals in the show, i find werewolves more interesting than vampires and ghosts. i know a lot of fans of the show are more into the vampire stuff and i like it too but i just like werewolf storylines more anyway so that's definitely part of why i like george.
in season 2 we see how much george was affected both by killing herrick and by his relationship with nina falling apart in addition to his guilt about infecting her. even if he's not always at his most likable throughout that season we see character progression. a boring character is stagnant and doesn't change. seeing a character change and grow (for better or worse) makes them more dynamic. a character with flaws is more interesting than a character who is perfect and never does anything wrong. there are characters on the show who i find likable but mostly boring (like hugh or sykes).
i didn't put season 2 george on a lower tier like i did with mitchell because i was still entertained by george in that season, whereas i find mitchell's s2 vampire king storyline one of the least interesting storylines in the whole show (sorry anyone who loves it, just not for me).
HOWEVER i do wish the show had addressed him cheating on nina with daisy a bit more since nina never actually finds out about it (although he heavily implies it in that scene in episode 3x05(?) and i always thought it was weird that nina never confronted him because she is very smart and i would think she'd be able to figure it out). that felt like a totally unresolved aspect of their relationship and seems like a common complaint about george's character. i do find it kind of funny that most fandoms view adultery as worse than murder since i see people criticize george for cheating but never see people criticize mitchell for the box tunnel 20. im guessing it's because mitchell is seen as unable to control himself and will inevitably fall back into his dark side whereas george knew what he was doing (but i do wonder if it being post-full-moon when george cheated on nina was a factor in that decision with the wolf and its more primal tendencies influencing him more than other times of the month. im not justifying george's actions here but it's just interesting that i never see that possibility discussed while mitchell is granted more leeway for what is a much worse crime).
my least favorite version of george is in 4x01 and i agree with what other people have said about it feeling like a weird one-off episode that doesn't feel like the show we know. the whole episode feels like it only exists to kill off george but not before butchering his likability. he's just a husk of himself and his complete detachment from his daughter to the point of not even naming her is really upsetting. i get that grief can do that but i wish the writers would've went a different direction. i would've much preferred them killing off both nina and george in this episode so that we could've seen them parenting together while also dealing with losing mitchell. george comes off as sort of selfish to me in the way that his grief for nina completely overshadow annie's grief for both nina AND mitchell. the episode doesn't leave enough room for annie's feelings. I wanted to see him and annie coming together, not them being driven apart because he barely lets anyone else into the nursery. so he definitely loses likability for me here but i think a lot of that is that it's just an awkward episode that's really more of a stepping stone between 3x08 and 4x02.
i do find it really interesting how the fandom seems to criticize george more than mitchell. i think mitchell sacrificing himself because he knows he will never be able to control himself forever allows him to be redeemed in the end and he is given a heroic send off. george ALSO gets a heroic send off by saving his daughter and killing griffin but for whatever reason people don't seem to view him as redeeming himself as much as mitchell did.
so i guess my answer to your question is that george is still one of my favorites despite where his character ended up because:
he's very funny
i like werewolves and the contrast of his personality to what he is
russell tovey is a great actor who is good at both comedic and dramatic moments
i like his relationships with nina, annie, and mitchell
his character evolves and has ups and downs throughout the seasons
most of all, i am consistently entertained by him

It got too long and heartfelt in the reblog, so I decided it deserved its own post XD
BOOM. MY OLD ART FROM LIKE 2018/19???
This is my bestie's Harry Potter OC that I drew for her! I actually had some similar drawings of both our OCs, but they're not in my possession right now XD and maybe they'll never be! But it's cool to see how very far I'll e come since then.here's some of my more recent art, just so you can see them side by side XD
For me, personally, seeing them side by side makes me giddy. They're so different, it's hard to link them together, hard to look at them and think the same person drew them. But I did. And as someone who grew up with another fabulous artist (@/rustic-space-fiddle), | was always impatient, always discouraged to look at my own art and see everything it was missing. I wanted to draw like Rusty, but I was so very unskilled. I was very eager to reach the day when I could match her skill, when I could look at my art and see in it everything that I saw in hers.
And today, I can honestly, confidently, gratefully say that I have arrived.
Obviously, if you go check out Rustyâs art, youâll see I am by no means as good as her. But I learned awhile ago that Iâll never be, no one willânot only am I biased that sheâs the best artist in the world (because she is), but Rusty draws the way only Rusty can, and the way only she will. Others may draw similarly, others may copy her, but art is like a fingerprint. Each style and piece is unique to the person who drew it. Therefore, itâs unfair for me to compare myself to Rusty when I could never possess her fingerprint in the first place. But that doesnât change the fact that I used to compare myself to her so harshlyâand the fact that to a younger me, I have achieved exactly what I wanted.
2018 was not the year I started drawing. Was it perhaps the year of my first exploration into the digital realm? Yes, but before then, I was drawing horses. I love horses, and I loved them so much they were all I ever drew. My walls were adorned with dozens of drawings of horses. Iâve since fallen out of the habit of drawing horses so regularly, but all those drawings are what started me drawing. I learned to hold a pencil and put it to paper drawing horses, and then from there, I just started drawing everything else. I only recently started drawing in seriousness, in the grand scheme of things. A year or two ago. And then I was drawing people most of the time, and the occasional dog or cat. And there were many bumps along the wayâmy discouragement at my own ability, as well as my inability to draw digitally, as I was quickly coming to love. The iPad I used at the time simply didnât support Procreate after awhile, so I was using my sisterâs iPad.
There are also the artists which inspired me. Obviously, rustic-space-fiddle wasâand still isâmy number one support and inspiration, she was my goal. But then I got instagram and I saw peopleâs different styles, and while I donât know where exactly the inspiration from them comes from, itâs certainly there, perhaps in the courage with which I now draw. The second biggest inspiration in my life has been, without a doubt, Jojo. Her art style, which I adore, is something I have tried to imbue in mineâIâve been told before that it can be seen, but Iâm unsure of that. Still, even if I do not draw in her style, I think I draw in her energy. In the way that I draw Legend, that style, that goal, that love for him and her art, I think itâs there every time I draw Legend, and even in the other things that I draw too. She may never know, but she is perhaps the only other artist in the world I have ever really hoped to be like.
Anyways. I guess what I am simply trying to say is Iâm happy. Iâm proud. Iâm content with my art, in a way I once hoped I would achieve, and while I know I have many things to learn, I approach them without that lost hopelessness I used to feel, but with passion, curiosity, and the determination to grow better.
If youâve read this far, thank you. You didnât really have any reason to read thisâeven if we have talked, even if we are mutuals, Iâm still a stranger whose ramblings about her art hold almost no weight at all. But you did anyways, because you were curious, because you cared, because it was interesting, moving, inspiring. Whatever it was, thank you :)
Iâve come a very long way. And Iâll go a very long way more. I hope youâll be here to see it all!

i think whatâs interesting about both bcs and succession is weâre shown both the abuse and the after effects. like we see the relationship between jimmy and chuck, and between the roy kids and logan, but weâre introduced to the relationship when the victims are adults and theyâve been going on for decades
Yes exactly! I love this and I think about it all the time (donât always mention because god Iâm one track minded and annoying lmao). The past keeps repeating but everyone has a different version of it, and you can see what happened by Jimmy automatically bargaining and begging in Rico and Chuck having to reassure itâs okay, you know Roman has been hit before, the pilot details how Kim was cleaning up after her mother automatically for years, s2 obviously isnât the first time Kendall has been his dadâs broken doll, Howard treats Kim the way his dad treated him, and Shiv curls up more and more when cruises are mentioned.

How does Taro change into a more human-ish form? And does he and Machiko swap stories of their lives? I'm curious about how they get to know each other
These are very spoilery so I'll put them under a readmore
Spoilers for a new character and some plot points
Basically for your first question, after Taro, Machiko and Eito become close family, Machiko wants to travel the world with the 2 of them looking for more cryptids. The event that kicks this off is her being invited to something of a cryptid hunter convention in another country. She doesnât want to leave Taro alone so she ends up making a deal with a character I have yet to introduce, Maize.
Maize is a fairy and faries in this world work closely with the government for convoluted plot reasons
(tldr: creatures and humans used to kill each other until a pact was finally formed by higher ups to change things. Now the majority of people aren't aware of the existence of monsters and the faries intend to keep it that way. Basically another story of mine, Grandchild, takes place in the same universe but before the pact was made)
Faires are also known for being kinda jerks so when Machiko begrudgingly asks Maize to make it so Taro can come with them undetected, Maize makes it so Taro is like 8ft 8 and changes nothing else besides giving him legs. The Very Long tail is also still there. Machiko isn't happy with that and asks to make him smaller and Maize uses the opportunity to basically make him a snake sized version of his regular sea monster form. So Taro has 2 forms he can change to from there on out
For your other question, basically after the submarine explodes, Machiko continues trying to get proof of Taro or when that fails at least watch him for a while. He's still wary of her at first cuz he's scared of humans but overtime he gets used to her and eventually starts enjoying her company since he's very lonely. He starts waiting for her to show up and eventually they pick a meeting point, the beach close to Machikoâs house, to see each other regularly.
In terms of exchanging stories, Machiko talks about her own life whenever Taro's curious about something she said and Taro uses charades and later sign language after Machiko teaches him to share his own when she gets curious

Okay so maybe I'm bad for this but my personal philosophy definitely revolves around the fact that all information is good to have and therefore yes I DO but see the reason I wish to know deadnames is because that way I'm not confused if someone calls them that instead i know immediately that i want to punch that person in the face (of course the action is more likely to be 1. now i know you're an asshole 2. now i can wait until the right moment to find a way to absolutely ruin you for what you've done to frend 3. asshole has been ruined and i'm not confused. knowledge is power, never USE deadnames but use knowledge of them to punish others for using them again maybe i'm a horrible person (the answer is yes i am but for this specifically idk) but either way that's my thoughts about it

IM TOO AFRAID TO MESSAGE YOU BECAUSE YOURE SO MUCH OLDER THAN ME AND YOURE JUST GONNA THINK IM WEIRD AND DUMB
Haha insecurities go brrrrr
... ok so like I work with younger kids as part (which is wild btw because why would you let a trans goth butch lesbian read Emily Dickinson to a bunch of 10 year olds but I digress) you legit cannot be wierder than a 10 goth ten year old and if you are more power to you. I revel in the strange and unusual. I am a freak and a weirdo. Who honestly cares.

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!
unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!
tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.
bonus rules:
you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny
take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)
apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender
have fun and be yourself!
#pokemon#pkmn#pokemon mystery dungeon#pmd#tag games#someone might've done this concept already but i had a worm in my brain you know.#i thought itd be fun to list all the unevolved pokemon... now i know there's only around 400 evolution lines total!#.. not counting mythicals legendaries ultra beasts or paradoxes#by the way! alongside the shiny result there are two other bonus results: an obligatory pikachu and... a surprise!!!#finally feel free to let me know if i misspelled something or accidentally included an evolved mon (other than pikachu)#sorry long tags ha đ
i'm done now
