the garden is full of flowers again full of little Petaled Stars, Mother Nature's Kisses, these Sun Cups and Honey Seeds and Earth Songs... There is life here, they say There will be life here We are precious, they say For we draw breath and we take light And we take death and turn it back to life They are precious, I say and they turn me back to Life

Fic Idea where Fiddleford helps Stan rebuild the portal, but Stan finds out that Fiddleford has a wife and he's like

"You have a WIFE?? That DIDN'T marry you to steal your car and money???? What are you DOING here???"

"Yeah, well.... She's better off thinking I'm dead somewhere....."

"A WIFE. That LOVES you. Get outta here and go explain yourself, Idiot!!"

"She and our son shouldn't have to deal with--"

"YOUR SON???!!?!!??"

Anyways, so Stan helps Fiddleford reach out and explain himself to his wife, but expresses that he wants to keep being in Gravity Falls, so his wife and kid go to live with them in The Shack instead.

Blah blah blah, bonding happens, Stan bags Fiddleford AND his wife and becomes a step dad, God bless 🙏

I feel like no matter how much we as Arabs talk about how both parties are in fact the same, that all the funding and arms trade to Israel has been happening under Biden and under Trump, that you should withhold your vote instead of going "I disagree with what Biden's doing, so I'll just vote for him anyway!", none of you will ever listen because you don't value Palestinian lives. You simply don't. You love chanting it as a slogan, "Free Palestine!" but in reality Palestine does not fucking matter to you because you still spew the same BS 'vote no matter what'. That Biden is the 'lesser of the two evils'? When he's been actively funding Israel since he came into power anyway? When he's been a Zionist for years and even before coming into office, he said that if Israel didn't exist, it's in the interest of the US to create it? This is the lesser of the two evils to you all? You're scared of fascism only when it hits you, is that it? You can't even bring yourself to vote third party?

You are a shameful people.

It’s about this time, another voice pushes into your head, like a bat out of hell.

can’t say im an expert at painting let alone depicting the sublime, but the, um.., sublimity of The Magnus Archives is so important to me…

season five really filled my heart in a way i did not expect. sometimes i close my eyes and imagine the sky overtaken by darkness and realizing by looking at the horizon that it’s all one giant pupil and still feel a shiver run through me. and that’s just one example. i finished the podcast last sunday and so much of it is still rotating nonstop in my head. so i needed to show some love for it in the only way i (kind of) know how.

here’s the references that inspired this. i said i wouldn’t try but i couldn’t help myself. i did my best!

*right after Omega joined the family, thus replacing Crosshair as the baby*

Crosshair: *sulking*

Echo: Listen, just because there’s a new baby doesn’t mean we love you any less…

You dream of evil being dead You dream about guns with barrels already emptied Shells all around, no more powder, no fire You dream of evil being dead Unnecessary, defunct You dream of times after the storm When the bombs had already blown up And the limbs were already lost Your dreams aren't disasters They are post-apocalypse After the horns have been blown After the rain of fire has passed After the earth was scorched And wounds scarred over You dream of a world Post-evil, post-disaster Your ears ring There is rubble and moss Everything is still This is your world The giant with the skull face lies And does not move.

Listen when people say they want Percy to go on a villain arc most times I see it as they want him to go dark, want him to start murdering, maiming, going full Luke, etc. And I support that. If anyone deserves to kill people it's this kid.

However, let us be realistic for a moment, because I quite like the other alternative. Villain arc Percy usually entails "he's finally had enough of the Gods bullshit & will do things his own way". Let us think on this. What would Percy most likely do in this situation? Would it really be murder right off the bat?

I think he'd be the pettiest, annoying little shit there is. And because one can't usually threaten the Gods in a way that truly matters, but they can make them sweat really hard.

This goes beyond ignoring their calls and leaving them on read. He refuses to give food offerings unless it's the nastiest shit known to man. Bribes the cyclops into hucking huge objects up Mount Olympus before they all scurry off. Finds the olive tree Athena gave to Athens, and while he wouldn't have the heart to destroy it, he'd for sure rip off a branch & mail it to her (Annabeth nearly had to put them in witness protection).

Eventually it gets to the point he has Nico on speed-dial and offers him a shit ton of fast food & a 'get out of Percy's quest bullshit free' pass if he could hop into the Underworld and yoink up some annoying spirits or dead monsters to piss off the Gods. When the Gods get pissed at him Percy just silently pulls out some safe-for-demigods phone like "hang on I wanna see how many happy meals I owe Nico for bringing Typhon back up". They know he is not bluffing.

Could the Gods counteract him? Yeah, sure, Hera gave him amnesia and it was like 90% effective for a while. However, he kind of went off the rails, everyone else went off the rails, and then they had even more Roman nonsense to deal with. If anything it both solved but also made even more problems. And a much angrier Percy. So, frankly, they're very confident it could work, but they're a little worried about what the aftermath would be.

Ares suggests just killing him. Poseidon takes offense to this. Artemis scoffs and says even Ares couldn't beat him. Everyone stops for a moment. The question is not asked verbally. But it is seen in the darting eyes and shifting seats.

Can they kill Percy Jackson?

Well, sure, they must be able to. He's a powerful kid, no doubt, with powerful allies, but they are Gods. Of course they can kill him. So that's not the real question, they wouldn't dare really entertain such a thing to ever confirm if it was true, but this is rather the layer of frosting hiding the real atrocity of a cake underneath it.

What will they lose trying to kill Percy Jackson?

What will remain standing in the face of some 18-year-old who lived one of the hardest knocks of life, loves so much it makes them sick, is so completely unaware of his own strength not even they know its full extent, and currently has absolutely zero fucks to give about the end of a reign longer than he will ever understand?

They decide to quietly shut the lid on that whole fiasco and let Percy do whatever he wants.

Unfortunately, they can't exactly ignore everyone else. And everyone else is who Percy cares about the most. So, think of it more like leaving a grenade in a locked box in the attic. Just hope and pray you've moved out before something gets curious and starts rummaging around up there.
