you guys have got to see my face while I'm researching the weather in Derbyshire and I realize that it is both colder and snowier on average in the town in Arizona where I live than it is in this county in England

"would you like to make a statement?"

@ the tags in the last ask you answered about Peter and Dick devolving into murderous tendencies if they don’t get enough hugs- I can only assume this is the root cause for Peter’s bomb affinity in the catwoman au 🙂‍↕️

DYING yes omg

there's been a bit of rgu and fma comparison, so here's my dissertation on why they should kiss

[sirlancenotalot]

the fact that people still use the "no one would talk to a friend that way" "no one would grieve for someone like that if it was just platonic" etc arguments to prove a ship is canon is so annoying to me. yes i get it, we got queerbaited hard but where does it say that romance has to be higher than a friendship or no one said friends couldn't also be lovers or vice versa....? i normally say "popular media tropes that usually are for romance" when i talk about fiction but pulling a blanket statement like "NO ONE talks to a friend that way" is so invalidating to so much of our queer experiences. the beauty of queer friendship literally lies in the emotional fulfilment we get from our friends in a way that i don't normally see in cishet friendships for whatever reasons. so idk it's just been bothering me to see these kinds of posts every now and then. "you wouldn't do [x] for your friends" i would actually. i would sell my soul for them. i would kill for them and kill myself for them. i would do anything for my friends that i would do for a partner. the "proof" for a ship doesn't have to be by invalidating their friendship. also like aren't most of the ships so powerful when they're also each other's closest friends? do y'all not think of your partners as your best friends?

morgan and elle's friendship is so severely underrated and i wish we'd gotten more of them. they go on vacation together! there are also some lines in the first episode that, at least to me, imply that they knew eachother before. morgan is introduced talking to/quizzing trainees, so that seems like the most likely way, but. i don't know. i love them and i would have been curious to see how it would have been elaborated upon had lola glaudini stayed on.

(side note: i love morgan's pose and face in the second screencap. he's so silly)

Someone: What's your sexuality?

Me: well you see, I never had a serious crush on anyone. Also, I had trouble understanding what a crush even was for most of my life. Also, I identified as aroallo for a while because I thought I was aro but not ace, but now I think I'm ace too. Also, fictional crushes. Also, I enjoy learning and reading/sometimes even writing about kink but have no idea if I would be comfortable actually participating on it. Also, some days I'm perfectly happy like this but other days are still confusing and shitty because it's all still new to me. Also-

Not to get pedantic (oh who am i kidding that’s most of this blog) but I am genuinely fascinated by the potential applications of the established canon in HoO and TOA that the gods canonically have both historic and regional forms, and can appear as specific versions of those forms and have kids of those specific forms, which influence what powers the kid has/what pantheon they fall under/etc etc (and also the implication that demigods can be born under multiple forms of a singular deity). This is somewhat backed up even earlier in the first series when we’re told that Percy has earthquake powers because of his father being Poseidon “The Earthshaker” (which is Mycenaean Poseidon) - which could also tie into why Percy generally takes leadership roles, is hopping in and out of the Underworld a lot, and is apparently particularly powerful for even just a Big 3 kid, since all that would line up with Mycenaean Poseidon being generally put at the head of the pantheon and also being a chthonic deity.

Now this gets really interesting when we start looking at deities being combined and conflated, because a.) the Romans weren’t the only ones doing that and b.) the Romans had their own gods originally, they didn’t just take the Greek ones and slap a new name on them. They merged a lot with their own preexisting deities alongside adopting worship of deities from other cultures as the Romans spread (and the Greeks also did this), and c.) the ancient Greeks and Romans did exist at the same time.

Like, we know in terms of the Greeks and Romans that if their godly parents are “equivalent” then their demigod children are siblings, just like if Greek demigods have the “same” godly parent then they are also siblings. However, very few Greco-Roman gods are one-to-one, and a lot are like three gods in a trench coat, and then if you want to get into historical forms then you can start running into weird things like “Well, if you go back far enough, these two Greek gods may have originated from the same thing-” and also if we’re talking historical forms, again, the Greeks and Romans existed at the same time! Which means there would be historic forms of godly parents that are both Greek and Roman! So like, where do we go from there? Would Hazel be equally siblings to a child of Plutus as she is to Nico because both Hades and Plutus were conflated into Pluto? Orcus was also conflated with Pluto - does that mean when Nico killed Bryce Lawrence, he was killing his half-brother? (cause then that parallels just a couple chapters later when Will faces off against Octavian-) Are there demigods who, depending on their godly parents’ form(s), are technically both a Greek and Roman demigod? If Hermes and Pan possibly originated from the same god, does that mean all the satyrs are siblings with the Hermes kids? If we want to get into all the nonsense of Dionysus’ origins and Zagreus and Hades, does that mean Nico is technically siblings with Dionysus kids? Does Dionysus joke about this during their therapy sessions? Are some demigods in certain cabins siblings with kids in other cabins but each others’ siblings aren’t siblings depending on what form their godly parents were in?

I have a headache now.

LINE READING SO DEVASTATING I NEED TO DIE ABOUT IT

[vapolis]

The thing I love is this about your story. Is the fact MCs body isn’t there’s if I remember correctly.

Like that’s the coolest part in my opinion. And the fact is Mc can die in the ros arms or just boom explode and then guess what there’s that possibility Mc is alive. 👀

Like you have the perfect torture for the ROs like yeah sure let’s say Mc is in bad luck and no one really cares about them right now but let’s be real here in the end I think the ROs are in the more emotional destruction in the end not the MC

Bear hugs 🤗 (I rambled…, sorry)

👁👄👁 I don't think I fully understand what you mean with the body isn't there.

the body you wake up in the prologue is the merc's current body, and if that dies/the chip does, they do too, but the possibility of that happening rn are fairly slim! they won't be for long with chapter 5 dropping sometime but we're not there yet 😂

Broke: John and Deputy living on a ranch. Having kids. John being stripped of everything that makes him interesting for the sake of being a booktok white guy.

Woke: John x Deputy could never function in normal society. They are two people so engrossed in their own need for violence that any semblance of a relationship between them can only exist within the snow globe that is Hope County during the Reaping.

They despise and want each other so much that they're caught between killing and worshipping. The NEED to punish the other throbs so harshly between them, and yet no one understands one quite like the other. No one gets them like they do. They're parallels. They're mirrors of one another.

There is an undeniable chemistry, a persistent connection that shines through the threats, the beatings, the kidnappings, etc. The acknowledgement exists only in lingering looks. The breathlessness John can't help when he's inches away from Dep. The way he smiles at them when he doesn't think about performing as the 'Baptist'.

The idea of "I know your sin intimately" from John, seeing this woman/man seethe with the same wrath he's projecting onto them and wanting to redeem them. Because then he too can be redeemed. And maybe because only through redemption can his desire for them be justified. Be appropriate in big brother's eyes.

They're salvation and damnation. They're the road to redemption and yet they constantly tempt him to sin. And John is a weak man who gives in one moment and pretends to stand on the high ground the next.

The deputy always remains on that high ground. Acting as the saviour. The hero. Even when covered in the blood of people who are also Joseph's victims. John calls them out, they don't need to kill that many people. That much blood didn't need to be spilled. But they've got the excuse, the justification made up in their head, so why not? But they're no better than the man they claim is a monster.

And the idea they act on those desire in secret? Away from the eyes of Joseph and the Resistance? Like some gross twisted, religiously traumatised version of Romeo and Juliet!? THAT'S THE SHIT
