Knight of Olympus
Jaune with Percy and the others in the labyrinth
Jaune: Percy you need to tell Annabeth how you feel about her
Percy: Jaune I don't hav-
Jaune: Yes you do and non of this "I'm not good enough for her" or "why would she stoop dupe so low for me" I have been in your exact position tell her because you'll never know when you're last chance will be cause trust me it will always be your biggest regret
Percy:....OK I'll tell her when we get out of here I don't want to make the rest of this journey really weird if she says no in front of everyone
*As they are getting ready for the battle*
Percy: Jaune... back in the Labryth, when you said you were in the exact situation as me, What did you mean?
Jaune: Her name was Pyrrha Nikos... she was my partner at Beacon, she had feelings for me, though I didn't know it, I was to focused on liking someone else, but there were times where I thought about asking her out, about possibly going on a date with her, but I was afraid...
Percy: Why?
Jaune: Pyrrha was... Amazing, she was the best fighter in our entire year and it didn't seem like there was a person in the world who could beat her... but I was wrong, someone took her away from me, but before that, she kissed me, confessed her feelings and then sent me away and that was the last time I ever saw her or could talk to her
Percy: So thats why you wanted me to confess to Annabeth... you didn't want one of us to end in the same situation
Jaune: Yeah
Percy: Thank you
Jaune: Just promise me to tell her how you feel when this is all over, alright, don't live with the same regret I have, Percy

It's actually kinda sexy of Caleb & Evelyn to haunt the narrative so thoroughly while never having any speaking lines or even appearing on screen outside of 400yr old repressed memories, delusions, and/or hyped up folklore
We don't even know for sure if Evelyn was a Clawthorne, or what she looked like, or how the fight between Caleb and Philip went down, or Caleb's reasons for leaving without Philip, or what their half witch half human baby looked like, or how long after Caleb left before Philip found him again, or what Evelyn did when she discovered her dead lover's grave was robbed, or how quickly after killing Caleb did Philip decide "I can make a new Caleb that's Better™"
We have scraps to give us pretty good ideas for most of these, but nope they really just haunt with no reward. Like yeah babes give us nothing!

Hi, not sent in hate but I just wanted to point out that while yes the orthodox church is still conservative, it doesnt act like an imperial empire on any scale close to the roman catholic church. The crusades, the aggressive conversions and conquests of other lands, the absence and rejection of serious interfaith respect and discussion, these are inherent to the catholic church.
"The crusades"
sir you know that before the schism of 1054, the Eastern Christian church (i.e. Orthodox) not only participated in but were the ones who requested the Western Church to start a crusade to save them from the invading tide of Islam, right??? what do you mean they didn't do crusades??
"imperial empire"
have you not heard of the Byzantine Empire.... or Russia, for that matter...?
"the absence and rejection of serious interfaith respect and discussion"
what does this mean tho. this is very vague.

MCD Heathers AU
I didn't ask for this, I had a passing teehee funny thought and then it stopped being funny and actually turned out to be a brain worm that took over all my neurons. I do not know what the fuck happened to make this AU but here we are.
Main thing to know before I come up here and elaborate in a later draft, this AU is imagining a production of Heathers featuring the cast and crew of mcd. It's an AU that's largely non magical other than the furry stuff, and it's distinctly the mcd characters and how I characterize them, not the MyStreet version of these characters. I think I've made my... thoughts on the matter of MyStreet characterization well known.
Anyways, the real actual main thing I meant to write was that this AU is also two productions. One is the main cast, and then there's the Understudy Cast! I might put that in a separate post because holy fuck this is already going to be a lot and I have to pull the entire cast of Heathers out of the pits of my memories.
"Couldn't you just look it up?"
This is way cooler. My source for all of the things I will ever say about this AU come mainly from the fact that I was in a production of it. Also I found the entire original libretto and read it all in a single night.
Main Cast Lead Characters
Veronica Sawyer-Katelyn
Jason Dean-Aaron
Heather Chandler-Dante
Heather McNamara-Garroth
Heather Duke-Laurance
Martha Dunstock-Lucinda
Kurt Kelly-Ivan
Ram Sweeny-Melissa (okay hear me out on this one--)
Ms. Fleming-Nana
Ensemble Members (yes these are all real ensemble members in Heathers)
2 Important Ensemble Disclaimers:
*If I don't give them a student character they're playing, that because there's an unspecified number of student characters to fill out the backing vocals that aren't necessarily listed in the original script. The fill ins I use come from when I was in the ensemble of this show
Ensemble is mostly the same across both casts.
Stoner Chick/Veronica's Mom-Sasha
New Wave Kid*/Kurt's Dad-Zenix
Metal Head*/Ram's Dad-Gene
Hipster Dork-Dottie
Preppy Stud/Big Bud Dean-Jeffory
Beleaguered Geek-Kenmur
Fuck it, Understudy cast
If they aren't performing as an understudy, they are another unnamed student in the ensemble, except for Nana and Sasha because they had to be fuckin different.
Veronica Sawyer-Aphmau
Jason Dean-Ein
Heather Chandler-Nicole
Heather McNamara-Nana
Heather Duke-Vylad
Martha Dunstock-Emmalyn
Kurt Kelly-Janus
Ram Sweeny-Blaze
Ms Fleming- Sasha
(the understudy cast is... insane. All of them. Collectively and individually)
This is just the cast. I haven't even got into the crew, how some of the ensemble are also crew members, the backstage drama, the showmances, the absolute chaos those dressing rooms would be. How they would be organized in the most logical yet perfectly chaotic way. This AU is peak chaos.

It's 3 am. I can't sleep. And I'm still a little drunk so I'm going to word vomit into the void about Last Night in Soho.
I absolutely adore this movie. The acting, the directing, the cinematography, the themes- it's all fantastic! ... except for the character John. And this has nothing to do with the actor portraying him but John's place in the narrative as friend/romantic interest to Ellie while being a foil to Sandie's own "Johns".
Ellie's John is everything Sandie's aren't: kind (apologizing for taking her coke and offering to give it back, saving a seat for her in class, checking up on her through the semester), respectful (of her boundaries and her passion and personhood), supportive (showing up for her exhibition), and helpful (offering to look for Sandie in missing person cases and moving her out of her apartment at the end of the movie). Even Sandie - the character who hated men most - pardons him and absolves him of any perceived wrong doing, "Save the boy downstairs"; although just minutes ago she stabbed him in the gut and left him for dead.
Unfortunately, it reads alot like "Not all men!! ☝️"
For a movie to be so focused on the relationship between two women and one of them understanding the other as if she was herself, the crux of the film, the resolution of it is Sandie saying "You can't save me, it's too late for me. Save yourself. Save the boy downstairs." And it's only then that Ellie goes to safety, she saved herself to save a man.
It's frustrating.
It's also frustrating that any other girl around Ellie's age is vapid and facetious "So brave ❤️" or an insecure bully dragging people down. Of course, this serves to make Ellie's attachment to Sandie stronger but writing John as a woman without romantic connotations would not stop her from being starstruck by Sandie. It would only highlight the sisterhood theme.
Sandie saying, "Save the girl downstairs" would make way way more sense for her character, Ellie's character, and the themes.
You can still have Ellie bring home someone near Halloween and still have his name be John and still have him respect her boundaries when the vision bleeds into reality.
Gotta keep in mind that this would edge itself closer into the black best friend being a prop/support for the main white character without being afforded their own personhood cliché, but that could be easily circumvented with decent writing.
Overall, it would tighten the film's message of sisterhood, women supporting women, and advocating for each other. This film is at its best when Ellie is showing kindness to Sandie by pulling the blanket over her feet. Her being protective over Sandie by shouting, "She said no!" Trying to hug her and show her she isn't alone. Her hugging Alexandra and seeing Sandie. Her refusing the Johns' their revenge. By taking Sandie's side time and time again. And Alexandra asking Ellie after the dance when her John left, "Did he hurt you?" As if she would hobble down the street that very second with a knife to track him down.
Another girl must not suffer in that room. Not under that roof. Not in the whole damn world. Not if Sandie or Ellie or I have anything to say about it.

About to lose my shit over my shitty Algebra teacher cause i think he’s the devil incarnate cause he doesn’t respect kid’s 504 plans, there is this kid who may not always show up to class on time for some reason im not sure why but they try their best to catch up and work hard and they asked to send over and take the recent test they missed in a certain classroom and he was like “No you cant, you have to show up tomorrow in here to take it” when literally in their 504 plan says they can take it in that room no one can force them to take it in their classroom, but DOES HE CARE??? NOOOOOO. I think he was just trying to be tough or smth god knows what cause he has a huge ass power complex like dear god dude we get it you were a army guy but is yelling at teens really what you wanna do to feel that high of power again?? The kid then complained to the school and he got a ass whooping but sadly not fired and then the next day was pissed as hell and took it out on all of us 😍
he doesn’t care to actually help students at all, he just gives up on them if they don’t understand the first or barely the second time and tells em to basically fuck off and find someone else to explain it and i get it teaching is hard you might not be able to get everyone to understand BUT ITS LITERALLY HIS GO TO RESPONSE WHEN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SMTH IN HIS SHITTY RAPID FIRE EXPLANATION WHEN HE JUST JUMPS FROM THING TO THING WITH NO VISUAL OR EVEN SENSE CAUSE WTF HOW DID YOU GET THAT ANSWER HELLO?? SLOW DOWN?? We were going over the study guide and he started doing a question and then realized half way it was “too hard” to do on the board so he gave up and kept going to the next question and a kid at my table who didn’t do that part pf the study guide cause they dont know how asked “Can you go over that please i don’t understand it” and his response was “im not going over it just to fill it in” and the kid said “im not asking to just fill it in im asking cause I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO IT” and guess what. HE DIDNT DO IT HE JUST IGNORED THEM AND KEPT GOING. YOUR STUDENT IS ASKING FOR HELP AND YOU AINT DOING SHIT. HELLO??? AND THIS ISNT THE FIRST TOME HE ALWAYS PULL THIS SHIT ALL THE TIME, GOD FORBID YOU ASK A QUESTION MORE THAN ONCE THATS TOK SCARY AAAHHHHH.
I hope all his classes fails and they fire his ass cause omg there has never been anything positive said about this man that isn’t from favorites/people who already are godly at math. The average student who’s had him HATES HIM.
Im really debating like cussing him out Thursday after my final cause i cant just walk away and act like it was a okay class no he needs to get fucking humbled at least see what he does is harmful and shitty and douchey. I dont care if i get in trouble im not gonna go down like this so many kids in that class have struggled cause of his ass not doing his job. And sure some of there are rowdy and sure some are a bit off task but that doesn’t give you the right to abandon them. If i ever kicked my own bucket he would be 5 of my 13 reasons why.
