HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOME ⭐⭐⭐👽👽👽 OUR PRECIOUS WEIRD DAUGHTER

[stuckinapril]

Just a girl who wants to be her mother’s daughter in the ways that matter

[strugglingsapphic]

Chad being Chloe's best man at her wedding because he's the first person she told about her feelings for Red and he talked her out of the ridiculous notion that Red didn't feel the same because he had watched those two girls grow up and seen how Red looked at his sister and he'd be damned if he let his sister throw away the best thing to ever happen to her.

Chad being her best man because there had been no one more supportive than him because as douchey as he could be, he loved his sister above all else and he was going to stand behind her happiness always, whether it was with a VK or not, he also loved red because even though she was an absolute smart ass, she made his sister happy and they had an agreement that chloe was the most important thing in the world

Chad being her best man because he helped her plan the proposal and talked some sense into her when she didn't know if she could do it, too scared of rejection when he had insider knowledge of also helping red plan her proposal for the exact same night and he couldn't wait to cackle with audrey when they realized he had been helping them both

Chad being her best man because other than red, He was and is her best friend and the best brother she could've ever asked for and how better for her to thank him than to have him stand by her side in what will be one of the most important days of her life (second to the birth of her children)

So, now that Blood of Zeus has also been given its chance to tell the Demeter/Persephone story (and also, similarly, fundamentally misunderstood the themes of the Hymn to Demeter) can we finally, finally talk about Mother Love?

Because I can scream until I'm blue in the face about how modern, popular interpretations of the myth have become so focused on being 'empowering' to women by fixating on giving power to Persephone in her marriage with Hades and, in turn, disparaging Demeter, another woman, - the mother who grieves her lost daughter - that they've some how spun all the way around and gotten back to being misogynistic and reductive, but I feel like talking nebulously about the fact that it's Demeter and Persephone's story and not Hades and Persephone's story never gets the point across hard enough. So:

Anyone who was upset about Demeter's demonisation in Blood of Zeus S2? Read Mother Love. Anyone who is ever upset that retellings of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter constantly demonise, belittle, accuse and insult Demeter and her grief while making excuses to redeem and forgive her daughter's captor? Read Mother Love. Anyone who likes Hades and Persephone as a romantic tale but yearn for complexity outside of arbitrary romantic antagonists impeding the happiness of the couple? Read Mother Love!! Everyone who has even a passing interest in this tale whether it is for the romance, the mother-daughter connections, the themes of grief and loss and eventual comfort and compromise, the wrath of the mother transgressed, the justice that is served due to a mother's insistence in an unjust society, READ MOTHER LOVE!!!

Because it pains me that such a perfect retelling of Demeter and Persephone's story exists, that it focuses on the mother-daughter relationship by comparing it with the poet's own relationship with her mother and it is nearly obscure in the greek mythology community.

spencer/reader + southern gothic aesthetic "I'm just a child, but I'm not above violence My mama raised me better than that..."

the mosquitoes and frogs sing their discordant symphony above the rustling oak leaves and Spanish moss that drape over branches like abandoned wedding veils. you push your toes on the damp floorboards and the rocking chair tilts backward, and your stomach lurches as you sway forward. the old book on your lap with yellowed pages and a musty scent lays open like a vivisected hare. a gnat lands on the corner of the page and you try to flick it away. you accidentally killed it and your brows furrow softly. the hinges on the screen door squeak and you break your monotonous rhythm, the rocking chair sway cut short. "garcia says we're lucky we have cell service," spencer says, with his hands in his pockets, before his eyes flick to your lap, "what're you reading?" "mm." you nod. "nice of the chief to let us use his house." you close the book and self-consciously wipe the title with your hand (the one that killed the gnat). "did you know that franz kafka didn't want bugs on the cover of his book?" "you're reading 'the metamorphosis'," he guesses. "it's a comfort read," you say, shrugging, your toes pushing the floorboards again. spencer slowly sits in the rocking chair beside you and you silently return to the symphonies of the moist, summer night. at least - you do until spencer starts talking about his interpretation of the novel and you listen, your eyes focused on the harsh, slice of darkness where the porch light doesn't reach.

not sure if i’m projecting or crazy or stupid or just actually incredibly good at characterization but will graham is extremely ethel cain coded 2 me

this man would drunkenly listen to strangers on repeat on his bathroom floor and bawl his eyes out while murmuring along to, “i tried to be good, am i no good? am i no good? am i no good?” while thinking about abigail and alana and beverly and and and….

okay but once AGAIN: the Bennet sisters are not actually a united front, nor do they share a close bond. It’s shocking how divided and splintered they are (symptom of the house they grew up in.)

i want to be all cohesive and make a post about ep10's depiction of family and giving and taking and love and its sacrifices, but it's been 10 minutes since i finished watching and i still can't stop weeping my eyes out over toi ting

i haven't seen anyone do a clothes swap prompt so.. to the salon!!☝️ (i'm so sorry mutuals that i keep posting them the brainrot is unreal) SO

Chloe showing up to her first class of the day in a red sweatshirt with Red's heart emblem front and center. And the entire school, teachers and uma included, get severe whiplash from the amount of look backs they do because this is THE chloe charming, the personification of baby blue and to see her in a color that isn't white, gold, or blue is like hell freezing over, because why would she be wearing her roommates clothes because they're not dating (to their knowledge at least but they've been girlfriend for weeks).

And Red, poor red who has no idea why she keeps getting looks in the hallway, doesn't have a class with Chloe until before lunch and she hasn't seen her since that morning when chloe left for classes (and she's sure chloe didn't wear it out of the dorm). She walks into the classroom and goes stock still because there is her girlfriend sitting at their usual table, in her color in HER sweatshirt (which where the hell had that been, she's been looking for that for weeks at this point and Chloe has apparently stolen it the little thief). But now she has to sit through class while the love of her life (she knows it's still early to call her that but she'll never love someone as much as she does her bluey, her princess) is in her color and they have hours till they're back in their dorm and she can kiss her senseless and Red vows to give Chloe any article of clothing she wants as long as it's red, as long as it's shows everyone that chloe is hers

(chloe is still chipping away at adding blue to reds palette, because it's only fair)

I'm on an OC kick and also super indecisive so I spun a wheel (thank you for choosing for me, RNG).

Ricardo is a body guard and is bffs with Marlo. Ricardo's current job is watching after a celebrity's daughter who the public doesn't know even exists. She's just a teenage girl vibing with her mom and getting texts and calls from her dad (who loves her a whole lot and keeps her out of the spotlight very purposefully) and has this bodyguard and his weird friend. Marlo is just vibing with his best friend.

(Also Marlo would absolutely laugh if he heard Ricardo say "someone called me eye candy and it wasn't you and now I think you should call me that")
