Jim at the start of Our Flag Means Death Season 1 and the end of Season 2

[moodyseal]

These looked so good already when I was them and now they're coloured and they're EVEN BETTER incredible showstopping spectacular 💕💕💕 Lester's brain just shuts off when there's Hyacinthus around

"It was time to say goodbye again" it's illegal to make me cry on my own post

This is probably like the third (and counting 🤭) Hyacinthus AU I've been thinking about but imagine: TOA stays mostly the same except Hyacinthus doesn't appear just once like in canon, but the dream near the end of THO is simply one of the many instances in which he reveals himself at random to bestow his ominous counsel upon Apollo

It'd be added guidance—not only does Apollo have the Arrow of Dodona to guide him in his decision-making and to give him answers on the spot for any of his questions, but his ex boyfriend is now here to terrorize him with vague predictions of the future as well! Pocket Oracle

Hyacinthus' appearances are scarce at first and he can only appear in Apollo's dreams, but as time goes on he manages to somehow project himself in the real world as well (maybe it could have something to do with him being turned into a flower and not being an actual citizen of the Underworld? idk) so Apollo can actually talk to him for a longer time and see him more clearly

Apollo is obvioysly surprised and distressed about it at first, but then he grows more used to seeing him, though of course neither of them can control for how long they'll see each other or when

Still, even for such a small opportunity, they're happy

(Additional comedic bits of this AU to counterbalance the angst of two lovers not being able to touch each other and being forced into separation time and time again:

- The Arrow gets incredibly jealous in a "excuse me ACTUALLY I was his magical aid and source of info first gtfo" kind of way

- Meg and the others see him talking to the air and gazing at it lovingly multiple times and decide, without further investigation, that he finally lost it

- Every single time he dreams of Hyacinthus he wakes up with a pot of hyacinths in his hands without fail and no one can figure out where those flowers came from. A popular theory among the demigods is that his only remaining power is creating flowers. Others say he used the pot as a teddy bear)

Just thought about Oluwande telling Nana that Jim left… her solemn acknowledgment of his pain: “La vida es dolor,” the way there’s a slight quiver in his quiet confirmation, standing in the dim light where, so recently, he was so happy and hopeful… “La Vida es dolor.”

And now I’ve got water in my eyes, what the hell

I think about Oluwande’s self effacing acceptance of pain and impermanence, though he loves so deeply and fully, and has EASILY given up chances at freedom and opportunity because he wants to be with Jim… and I go nuts!!! I bite! I gnaw! I suffer!!

I think about Oluwande taking the money he and Frenchie stole and redistributing it to the enslaved people on the ship! I think about his fragile little voice asking if he might “just sleep in the corner” with John and Frenchie! I die!!!

I think about Oluwande saying “Just my friend… just my friend.” About Jim- But Jim DOES love him!! Jim came back for him, and was ready to begin a real life together!!! (Scream)

I’m climbing the walls!!

Imagine your OTP

A: Let's play Titanic!

B: [snorts] so I'd be the iceberg and you'd go down?

A: No [pulls out flipcharts and projector] we're discussing famous theory icebergs in detail.

B: Oh I'm SO going down on you later.

Lester: Hey-

Olujime: I have a partner.

Lester: you deserve two partners.

[ofmdincorrect]

Oluwande: not to be slutty or anything but i'd listen to your problems and run my fingers through your hair

[kamwashere]

[sylvies-chen]

olujim this season are really just going to be the best and softest sweetspot aren’t they 🥹🥹🥹🥹

[peculiaritybending]

I’m so sorry , I’m going to be so insufferable as someone who views our flag means death as the Jim & Oluwande show

[butchcaseyjones]

do YOU like archie from our flag means death? are you interested in her backstory? were you casually devastated by "it's just life?" are you a lesbian? are you a fan of boygenius?

if the answer to any of the above was yes, you might like my archie character study!

i spent way too long on this and listened to black hole by boygenius approximately 5000 times. please check it out! <3

Just finished The Dark Prophecy in my reread and boy do I have thoughts. I'd forgotten how much 13 yo me adored The Dark Prophecy when it first came out, and I definitely still adore it. More will come in due time, but my first one is simple:

Why do we not talk Olujime more as a fandom? He's literally the only demigod that's not Greek, Roman, or Norse, is incredibly powerful, and Apollo is helplessly in love with him (though, let's be honest, Apollo is helplessly in love with a lot of people).

Anyway, can we please talk about Olujime more? I know nothing about Yorubu dieties, but I'm 100% going to do some more research when I have time, because it's so interesting?

So, yeah, please bring up Olujime more.
