I’m a normal friend

[vannyinthestars]

I’m just sitting here thinking about Telemachus seeing his father for the first time (that he can remember) and just realizing how much he looks like him- like the crashing realization that the features he never saw in his mom were right in front of him, yknow?

Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge. 

[vannyinthestars]

I know a lot of y’all don’t follow me for fic, but for the few that do I’m going on AO3 hiatus- the next month is going to be incredibly stressful and I don’t want to burn out on these projects I love so much by trying to write them when I don’t have the energy to do so <3

I got 60 out of 1000 😂

As a child of a military dad, I need to reiterate that JEREMY KNOWS HOW TO SHOOT A GUN AND PUNCH A BITCH. it’s like rite of passage.

Headcanon unlocked: Jeremy knows how to shoot a gun and punch a bitch. He just chooses not to.

Look, I love softboy Jeremy. He rocks it. But I feel he got some hidden crazy behind those Lucious brown eyes. He just knows how to keep it under wraps as to not be THAT person anymore

I am once again begging the jerejean artists

[vannyinthestars]

I desire nothing more than to be sautéed in a hot skillet like a little mushroom.

a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

Sparrow’s Lament (Working title) - Sneak Peek

🏹 Alhaitham x Kaveh (with background ships: CyNari, and suggested Navia x Clorinde)

🏹 Hunger Games AU (some events taken from HG canon but lots of me just making stuff up)

🏹 Angst with a happy (?) ending

🏹 Childhood friends to lovers

🏹 lots of blood, gore, minor character death, and violence

“Tell us, Alhaitham, is there anybody waiting back home for you that you have something– anything –you want to say to?” The man chuckled while raising a suggestive brow and Alhaitham mimicked the expression. Kaveh’s brows furrowed as Alhaitham reached up to scratch the back of his neck.

“I’ll tell you the truth,” he leaned towards Dottore. The host seemed to bask in the dramatics of it all, but Kaveh knew Alhaitham better than that.

What is he doing? Kaveh wondered to himself as he tried to mask his expression amongst the other tributes exchanging glances.

“I’ve only ever loved one boy, Doc.” Alhaitham said in a hushed tone, as if he didn’t have a microphone clipped to his jacket.

Dottore smiled, looking at the cameras as if they too had something to grin about. “Oh, do tell us who. Maybe they’ll be waiting back home for you.” Dottore clasped Alhaitham’s arm. Kaveh caught the clench of Alhaitham’s jaw that signaled he didn’t want to be touched, but he didn’t brush the host off.

Alhaitham’s lips quirked downwards into a frown for the tiniest second, but the cameras caught it. “Well, that’s an impossible situation.” He said, completely honest. Dottore’s brows furrowed as the crowd exchanged murmurs of confusion and surprise.

“You see,” Alhaitham explained. “If I make it home, he couldn’t be waiting because he came here with me.”

I have no idea when I’ll get around to writing this (soon, I swear) but SOTR has me back in my hunger games obsession.

Deconstructed a necklace to upcycle it and had a bunch of these gold coin/disk charms- so ya girl just had to stamp them with JereJean themed numbers

I love subtle fandom references in my jewelry lol

(Mind you I was doing the stamping on my floor without the proper equipment so they’re a little janky)

«Jeremy dove for him and grabbed his wrist. Jean’s heartbeat was like a hummingbird’s against his fingertips, and Jean shuddered so hard Jeremy felt it to his elbow.

“Jean, stop,” he tried. “Jean, you have to let go.”»

The pool scene lives rent free and I forever hate the coach for pushing him towards the water but I will forever love him being supported by Jeremy though it

Do not repost please. Reblogs appreciated!

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

Writing fanfiction for a literal class assignment, but please join me in imagining Jean Moreau reading Goodnight Moon (the children’s book).
