there is no cause in calling or messaging alex, you know he will not answer. not when qualy is just an hour away and he needs to be prepared.
you don’t know where you are. you see the main entrance a couple of meters away, but you can’t remember where to go from there. but you also can’t stand all day in a place you don’t know, surrounded by fans and people too eager to notice how lost you look. the best you can do is walk around and find your way back; if you have any luck you’ll find alex’s garage before he has to go out. to wish him luck and punch him in the face.
you send him one last message, promising to make his life a living hell, and put your phone away.
you’re trying to follow the path you remember in your head, when someone comes barreling into you.
“hey!” the person says a little out of breath. “i was just looking for you.”
you take off your sunglasses to get a better look and it dawns on you that you definitely know this person. or at least you’ve seen him countless of times in your tv, sometimes in alex’s instagram stories too.
“charles!” you really don’t know him, this is definitely the first time you are speaking to him, but you’ve never been so happy to see someone you barely know before. “oh my god, you won’t believe what alex did to me.”
“i know,” he says immediately and you furrow your eyebrows. he shows you his phone, as if that will tell you what you need to know, but when you don’t speak, he smiles hesitantly. you don’t know if the blush on his cheeks is because he was running to get to you or if it’s for a whole different reason. “i saw your story and thought maybe i could help you?”
you process his words for a few seconds, until you realize who really is in front of you. “oh my god, charles!” you exclaim a little louder, drawing attention, and you witness how people begin to notice charles’ presence because of that. he looks at you with confusion on his face, race suit hanging low around his waist. “you’re not supposed to be here, you should be in your car.”
charles’ blush deepens. “yeah,” he says, scratching his neck and avoiding your gaze. “but i couldn’t leave a pretty girl here all alone.”
now it’s your turn to blush, cheeks heating up so much that you’re sure everyone around you can see it.
“let’s go, please. i don’t want to be the reason why you’re gonna be scolded for.”
you walk beside him, trying to give him space as he takes selfies with a few fans that have the courage to approach him. however, charles apologizes with a smile when he sees you a couple of meters away and, as you walk side by side, you can’t help but notice heads turning in your direction and whispers of your name and his.
you fall into an easy conversation that ends up sooner than you’d have liked. but you don’t part ways until his number is on your phone and the promise to text him on your lips.

some Leo headcanons I have
Leo doesn't know what day his birthday is. He knows its in July, but he hasn't done anything on it since he was 8 and he used to act like it was/wasn't on certain days based on how well they went (he thinks its the 7th, but he hates the number 7 so he ignores it).
Leo has stolen and crashed a police car. He will do it again.
Leo's mother and Aunt Rosa both had dreams from Gaea that told them Leo was going to kill Esperanza, but Esperanza took it as an "he'll do it on accident bc he doesn't know how to control his powers" and Rosa took it as "It's a sign from God and this child was sent by the devil".
He's asexual biromantic, but in love with the idea of being in love.
He learns a form of script-based magic - the same thing that is etched on each stone used for the Hecate cabin. Jo is his teacher, but when he visits camp all of the Hecate cabin are happy to help him too. He views it as a code instead of magic, and only ever uses it in the things he builds because he forgets it can be useful on its own.
He's a Fall out Boy stan. Loves all types of rock too, but FOB was his gateway into it.
Every time he went to a new school if they had a music program he could join for free he would. Originally he'd just choose a new instrument every school, but on his third try he learnt drums and decided to stick with it.
HIs eyes look like yooperlite while it's glowing, but more like burning coals while he's using his powers.
On that note, Leo's body temperature can be way hotter than the normal person's. On a normal day where he's fine in everyway, he's hot but not hot enough for people to think he's feverish. When he's excited his temperature rapidly increases, as it does with stress. When he forgoes sleeping his body forgets to regulate his temperature, which leads to him either going very cold or very hot.
He can't really get fevers at all really. It's also very hard for a lot of illnesses to effect him because half the time he burns it up before he even knows its there. When he does get sick it's really bad though, because his immune system is actually pretty weak.
Related to that, he is the only known person who can currently be a theoretical host to a thermophile virus. Not that he would, but it is a thought that has crossed his mind.
He has a hobby of making little robots. He makes Piper a bronze eagle one as a present and he slowly starts to make them for his friends
Annabeth gets a cat because he thinks she has cat vibes and an owl would be basic. Percy gets an otter because Leo did not want to think about making a robot fish that works well out of water. Frank gets a chameleon as a joke, but he makes it so it can turn into a small dragon too. Hazel gets a snake, again for the vibes. Nico gets a lizard. Just like, a nondescript lizard. He makes Reyna a bronze dog to "complete the metal set", but it's based of a Molossus of Epirus instead of a hound. Jo and Emmie get matching gryphons, and Georgina's little robot is a llama. Leo makes himself a wolf in honour of Jason.
On the topic of making things, Leo also gets really into all forms of metalsmithing. Which includes making jewellery, which leads to him getting a lot of piercings. Piper does too, because they went to go get the piercings together. He loves giving people little friendship bracelets, and charms, and ornaments. He makes people themed cutlery sets.
His love language is gift giving, if it's not obvious.
He stays in contact with Apollo, but in order to not upset Zeus they frame it as 'music lessons'. As the inventor of the Valdezinator (and its best player), it's a pretty good excused. Leo does make new instruments occasionally when they feel like they're pushing the 'lesson' excuse.
They fr just gossip during them though, and then give each other a scuffed form of therapy. They go from talks about petty drama to unanswerable philosophical discussions to jokes that make no sense.

I can't recall if I have already asked you this or not, but were you the one who drew this?
Tumblr media
(If so, then I need you to know that this is the best Will Wood fanart that has ever been made. Plus he would totally wear that.)
i'll tell you more. there's a prequel to this. and i have a huge history with this very art. grab your hot cocoa, your popcorn, or whatever else you consume when listening to a story..
NOW tbh this mf piece of art makes my heart sink every time i see it simply because the memories of the past still haunt me and theyre not lovely /hj
imagine, year 2023, (relatively) young asmogorna doesn't yet know how twitter can get when it comes to fandoms based around real people, and his friend gives him an idea
"i had a dream about will wood drawing hamilton yaoi" his friend said to him "you should draw that"
and draw that young asmo did
Tumblr media
but then a funny teehee connection was created in asmo's head. "hey" he thought "you know what else is related to hamilton. miku binder."
and he, inspired by this truly humorous and silly idea, drew that very masterpiece, posting it on twitter later that day, with the caption "i am so sorry mr william wood". "oh what a splendid laugh me and me lads (mooties) shall have" asmo thought, as he closed the website
yet little did he know, that the next time he opens twitter its going to be multiple people jumping him and beating his ass in the qrts
"erm,, why are we drawing real life cis men in binders?? /neg /genq" they chanted
"will wood would KILL this person" they howled
"
Tumblr media
" they preached, as they threw their torches and rotten tomatoes at stupid young asmogorna
he was shocked, truly shocked, for he did not expect such a backlash. the last thing he had in head is implying that mr william sunshine woodiam of the okultra is trans with his art, his mind blown by the amount of people misunderstanding his intentions, for he didnt even think about the intentions people would assume he had. "where tf did i ever say that this is a headcanon of any sort THIS DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO BE A BINDER FOR TRANS PPL WHAT ARE THEY ON" he mumbled softly to his friends, glancing at the raging crowd.
asmo shamefully deleted the post, wrote a public apology thread, and decided to throw the painting he put so much shits and giggles in out in the trash, forever forgetting his legacy....
but to be fr tho that shit was funny asf and im still mad at twitter for making me look like one of them tallyship mfs who headcanon real life people as .. anything really😭
will wood would scoff and giggle in disappointment at this MAX trust me his ass does NOT gaf

So I'm rewatching PJO episode 6 in preparation for tomorrow (so excited!!!) and here's some thoughts~
Tumblr media
1) I watched the Iris message with Luke like a million times and it is SO unnerving to see what a master manipulator he is. He's the cool older friend everyone wants to be seen bumping fists with - and he's giving them so much caring attention. All while subtly deflecting the conversation to pushing the conclusions HE wants Percy and Annabeth to arrive at. For the first time, I was reminded how scary this thing with Luke was, and once again, gave me the same feeling I'd had when I first read the books :')
2) Social commentary in the Lotus Casino like pls????? Rick NEVER fails to deliver on the best messages. Drugs injected into the air of one of the biggest gambling businesses in the world? Grover literally getting "lost in time" in the VR headset? Hermes lamenting about parenting? I love it.
3) Percabeth🥹🥹🥹🥹 "You were like two seconds ahead of me" SO PERCY. I was wheezing. Percy FINALLY opening up to Annabeth about the dreams had me sighing in relief. And the way the two of them navigated Hermes and the Lotus Casino together had me sobbing fr. MY BABIESSSS
4) PERCY DRIVING IS SO ME PLS. "Try aiming for the middle!" Like same bro been there😭 Waiting for a full minute after the guy cuts him off and then angrily honking ME. ME ME ME. I detest driving and I mean. Oh, and the best part - Annabeth staring proudly at Percy as he goes up that ramp, and Percy happily looking into her eyes AND THEN CRASHING INTO THE WALL I WAS BESIDE MYSELF I did not know this was something I needed. And... of course... WISE GIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRLLLLLL
5) When Annabeth said "it's easy to forget what's important when you're alone" it reminded me so bitterly of Luke. For this kind of lone forgetting is exactly what Kronos is betting on when he singles Percy out as his backup or whatever. It's scary how blurred the line between Luke and Percy's possible destinies is. And branching from the same dialogue, Grover's reaction after he realises he forgot quite a bit was heartbreaking. It kind of reminded me of the scene from Chalice of the Gods (spoilers, yall!) when Grover's sad Percy and Annabeth will be leaving. Hit too close to home :')
6) The Nereid was so mindnumbingly beautiful??? Also, they're making Percy's colour palette green and gold instead of blues, and while that's going to take a while to get used to, they're doing an aesthetically marvellous job!
7) But... there was no zebra :(
Anyway now I'm SO excited for tomorrow's episode I cannot WAIT. I cant wait to see the Cerberus, the Underworld, and Hades and Persephone (the gods all look so amazing so far this is going to be SO good) - and I can't wait to see Sally again!!! Her figure in the teaser seemed so cool. Literally counting down the hours😭

Part 1. I suggest reading it to understand this story
(It was easy to write in the beginning but the end got hard. Hopefully it turned out well)
Jimin has gotten violently attacked by an anti, leaving him physically and mentally broken. If you aren't okay with psychological stories, turn back now.
Yoongi was up late, working on the ending of his latest song. He tried to sleep twice already, but he couldn't fall asleep. Not with everything that happened that day. I wonder if the others managed to sleep.. I want Namjoonie to look over the changes I made to it..
"I'm sorry.." Jimin whimpers in his sleep, making Yoongi rush into his room, forgetting completely about work.
"Jimin-ah..Jimin-ah, I'm here.." Yoongi takes a seat on the bed.
Jimin didn't respond to him, still trapped in his nightmare.
"No, Jinnie-hyung.. don't leave, I'm sorry.." Jimin clings to Jin's arm.
"There's not much point. I'm just a visual.. You do all the high parts, and if I do the lower parts, then what will that leave Taehyung? No. It's okay. I'll go solo.." Jin pulls away.
"Hyung, please don't go." Jungkook's lip quivers as tears flow down his cheeks. "You can have some of my parts. I don't mind.. just please stay..?"
Jimin tried to offer his parts, but no voice came out. All he could do was watch his members cry as Jin continued to grow farther away.
"Jimin-ah!" Yoongi shakes him awake.
Jimin's eyes fly open, fighting to catch his breath. His body was covered in a cold sweat, his heart pounding wildly against his chest.
"Jiminie, it's okay. It was just a dream.." Yoongi speaks in a soft, soothing tone, wiping the sweat from Jimin's brow.
"Hyung...?" Jimin blinks, trying to process reality again. He was in his room, not Jin's and it was only him and Yoongi in the room. "I..i..I'm sorry..d..did I w..wa..wake you?"
"No, I was already up. Don't worry about that. Do you want to talk about it?" Yoongi asks gently.
Jimin shakes his head. "I..I..want Seokjinnie-hyung.."
"Seokjinnie hyung? But I'm..ah...I'll go get him.." Yoongi quickly back peddled when he heard a sob escape from Jimin. "Wait here, I'll only be a minute. Close your eyes, I'm going to turn on a light."
Jimin covers his face as Yoongi turns on the light, letting his eyes adjust slowly to the new lignt source. Yoongi felt his heart tighten and his stomach drop when he sees Jimin's distraught face.
"I'll be back.." Yoongi promises, leaving the bedroom, urgently knocking on Jin's door. "Hyungie..Hyungie, can I come in? It's an emergency.."
"Yoongi...?" Seokjin's voice was raspy from sleep. Yoongi took his reply as permission to enter the room. "What's wrong?" He blinks sleepily, trying to adjust his eyes to the darkness.
"Hyung Jimin needs you.. I think he had a bad dream about you.. he doesn't want me, and he's crying." Yoongi informs Jin, instantly waking him up.
"Jiminah is crying?" He quickly gets up, sprinting to Jimin's room. "Honey, I'm here, don't cry.." Jin gently climbs onto the bed, gasping in surprise when Jimin wraps around his waist, burying his face in Jin's broad shoulder.
"Do' le..le.ave H.hyung.." Jimin sobs incoherently.
"Leave? Baby, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here as long as you need me to." Jin gently rubs his hand across Jimin's back. "You're burning up.."
"Don..Don't le..leave..I'm sorr..sorry.." Jimin says with hiccupy gasps, soaking Jin's shirt. "Im..I'm sorr..sorry.." His whole body shakes as he sobs, clinging to Jin as if his life depended on it.
"What are you sorry for, Minnie? You haven't done anything wrong..please just try to take a deep breath, i can't understand you.." Jin forces Jimin to sit up to make it easier to breathe, rubbing his hand up and down Jimin's arm.
Jimin tries to obey, but he couldn't stop the tears from streaming, coughing violently. "Hurts.."
"Jiminie I know, I know baby, you gotta calm down.. please.." Jin rubs Jimin's shoulders, kissing the top of his head. "You poor thing.."
"Hyung, is there anything I can do to help?" Yoongi says from the doorway, watching helplessly.
"I'm not going anywhere, i promise.. don't cry.. you're breaking my heart.."Jin tried to use sweet words to console Jimin, but nothing was getting through to him. "Could you get me some water and some fever reducers? He's going to dehydrate.." Jin sends Yoongi off, softly humming to Jimin since his words weren't getting through to him.
Jimin sniffles, slowly calming down, taking deep, shaky breaths, whimpering through the pain. "Mnnn..Hyung..I don't feel well.."
"I know, sweetie.." Jin coos, wiping the tears from Jimin's cheeks with the back of his thumb. "Good, good.. deep breaths.. that's it.."
"I'm sorry.." Jimin sniffles. "I..I'm good now.."
"Here, drink some water, Jimin.." Yoongi sits on the other side of Jimin, careful not to bump into Jimin's injuries. He opens the water bottle, pressing it by his lips.
Jimin drinks eagerly, trying to soothe his sore throat. "Thanks, Hyungie.."
"No problem.. do you think you can take some medicine for me?" Yoongi asks,tucking a strand of wet hair behind Jimin's ear.
"Okay.." Jimin leans back against his eldest hyung, still struggling to catch his breath.
Yoongi shakes out a pill, popping it into Jimin's mouth, giving him another sip of water to help him swallow it down.
"HyU.."Jimin's voice cracks when he tries to speak, clearing it to try again. "Hyungie..?"
"What is it baby?" Jin asks gently.
"Are you happy..?" Jimin asks in a small voice.
"Huh? Happy?" Jin blinks slowly, perplexed by his sudden question. "Why would I be happy when my baby brother is suffering?"
"No..no..i..mean..like..with how things are..as..mm..Nevermind.." Jimin buries his face in Jin's shoulder.
"As what Jiminie?" Jin tries to pry answers out of the vocalist, but Jimin stays silent. "I'm happy to be here with you..I'd do anything for you and the other members.. we're family.." he tried guessing what his problem was, but misses the mark.
I know hyung.. Even if that means living in my shadow..
"Jimin-Ah, look at me.." Jin takes Jimin's chin gently, ignoring the feeling of his stomach fluttering when he sees Jimin's injured face. "I'm happy with you and the others. Okay? I'm not going anywhere."
Jimin nods, hugging onto Jin. I'll do better to give you and Taehyungie more time in the spotlight..
"Good..now try to get some sleep.. okay? I'll stay right here all night." Jin slowly gets into a laying position.
"I will too..if you want.." Yoongi feels blood rush to his cheeks, embarrassment washing over. He didn't want to leave Jimin, even though he knew Jin could handle it without him. He wouldn't be able to get a wink of sleep worrying on if Jimin was alright in the other room.
"Thanks, Hyungie.. I'd like that.." Jimin manages the smallest of smile.
"Jimin-ah...Jiminie, I have to go.. please get off.." Yoongi woke up to Jimin laying on his chest, his injured hand resting on his shoulder his wrapped leg thrown over him. He didn't know how he'd get free without hurting him. "Hyung I need help, stop taking photos." Yoongi whines.
Jimin was completely knocked out, the mixture of his fever, pain, and mental breakdown, leaving him completely drained.
"I'm sorry, it's just rare to find you cuddling with the other members. I got photos before you woke up." Jin smiles when Yoongi rolls his eyes at him.
"You're getting as bad as Hoba.. just help me move him.." Yoongi whines softly.
Jin puts his phone away, gently taking Jimin's arm by the elbow and straightening against his side. That was easy. Moving his leg was another story. Jimin whimpers in his sleep as Jin lifts his leg, trying to gently move him onto his back without hurting him.
"Do you need help?" Namjoon asks from the door frame.
"Yeah, I need to get him off Yoongi, but be very careful. I need you to make sure his arm doesn't move while I roll him off." Jin tells Namjoon earning himself a pout.
"I can be careful." Namjoon helps Jin move Jimin safely. "How did you even end up like this?"
"I don't know, he was cuddled up to Hyung before I fell asleep, but sometime last night, he switched over to me." Yoongi quickly moves off the bed, wincing at his numb leg from Jimin's dead weight. "Ahugh...my legs asleep.."
"You'll be okay.." Jin smiles.
"How's Jiminie?" Taehyung asks, still looking half asleep, J-hope following behind him, trying to tame his wild bed head.
"Did you both sleep in here last night?" J-Hope adds in.
"He's running a fever now, but at least he's asleep.." Yoongi sighs, looking at Jimin asleep on the bed. "I really don't want to leave him.."
"I know, I don't either, but we have no choice.." Namjoon felt Yoongi's pain. Seeing Jimin breathing heavily on the bed made his heart ache. "But we'll leave to go home the second we can. Alright? We have to be professional. We've worked with missing members before."
"Where's Jungkook?" Jin asks, noticing the youngest missing.
"He's with staff, talking their ear off about Jimin's likes and dislikes with food last I saw him." J-Hope is the one to answer.
"I'll join him and explain what happened last night." Jin leaves the room, finding the two staff members assigned to watch over Jimin while they went the award show, bowing deeply. "Thank you for doing this.."
"It's not a problem." Jeong bows back to Jin. "After finding him like that, I wanted to be sure he was okay anyway.."
The boys rush around to get ready, Yoongi doing a head count. "Where's Taehyungie and Namjoon-ah? We need to get going. The van is waiting for us.." Yoongi tries to gather the members.
"Jiminie is in good hands, and I'm sure they'll call if there's any change.." Yoongi hears Jungkook's voice in the doorway to Jimins room.
"What are they doing in there? They'll wake him up." Yoongi goes to scold them, but Jin stops him.
"I'll go gather them..You go to the van."Jin goes into the room, pushing Jungkook out towards the door. "Go on. Go keep Yoongi company in the car."
Taehyung was on the bed with Jimin, Namjoon standing on the other side, giving Jimin fever medicine. "I thought he was asleep.."
"He had another bad dream.." Taehyung informs Jin lightly, holding Jimin to his chest. "I wish I didn't have to go.. I'd stay here and watch movies with you." He pouts, pushing a strand of hair behind Jimin's ear.
"I know. I know. It's okay. You can't disappoint army.. I'm okay.. i don't even remember the dream.." He turns to Namjoon, accepting the medicine with a hard swallow.
"Here, drink some water." Namjoon opens a waterbottle holding it by Jimin's lips.
"Come on, kids, it's time to go. He'll be in good hands..." Jin pulls Namjoon by the back of his shirt, going to the other side of the bed to gather Taehyung, pulling him by the arm.
"I'll be back as soon as I can Jimin-ah! Text me if you get lonely!" Taehyung promises Jimin as he's forced out of the room.
Jimin watches his members leave, waving goodbye with a fake smile. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm probably going to be asleep most of the time.. I'm still tired.."
None of the members believed him, but they had no choice but to go. Taehyung could still hear his heart racing when he was getting off the bed.
Jimin drops his tough guy act as soon as they are out of earshot, his breath hitching, getting caught in his throat. I hope I didn't mess up their concentration.. I already messed up the formation..
Jimin curls up on his side, hearing his phone ding with several messages.
Hwaiting Jiminie.
Already miss you
Try to eat a little while we're gone.
Jimin flips his phone over, their encouraging words and worry only making him feel worse.
I don't deserve their kind words.. not when I've been holding them back..
"Jimin-sii? Are you awake? I heard you coughing..."
Jimin hardly hears the whisper of staff in the doorway of his room. They've been extremely attentive since the other members left, watching movies and playing games with him until he fell asleep.
When did I fall asleep? What time is it?
"I'm awake.." Jimin answers groggily, checking his phone for the time. "The show. We'll be performing... They'll be on soon. Can we watch it?"
"You want to see the show?" Jeong asks, unsure on if he should allow it, but seeing Jimin's eyes showing a little bit of life for the first time all day made him give in. "If you think you're up for it, you must eat, though.."
"I'll eat while we watch.. I'll be fine.. i can't remember the last time I just watched the others perform.." Jimin wanted to be sure his absence wouldn't ruin the show,moving to get up to go to the living room.
"Please be careful.." Jeong quickly rushed to Jimin's side to support his weight. "Slowly.."
"I know.. I know.." Jimin hardly puts any weight on his injured ankle. "Thank you.." he takes a seat on the couch, setting the TV to the correct channel.
"It's still Exo.. good.. I didn't miss any.. when did Kai dye his hair silver? It looks great on him.." Jimin watches them perform, frowning when he notices he slept through most of the performance.
"Here Jimin-sii, I made you some Bibimbap.." The second guard places a tray in front of Jimin, having false hope to see Jimin acting like himself again. That's all it was. An act.
"Thank you.." Jimin bows, taking a bite. "It's good.." He gets a few more bites in while the lights are off for his members to prepare, J-hope appearing on screen for his solo dance. "He looks so cool..."
Everything was fine until his solo dance started, him seeing Taehyung in his place. "Oh wow.. How is he doing so well with such little practice..Did he just memorize it by watching me?"
He's so talented, but it's always me, Jungkook, and Hobi-hyung that get the longer dance breaks.. I can hardly believe that's the same boy that was just hugging me tightly earlier.. I can see why the next generation looks up to him..
Jimin watches Taehyung moving on stage, being reminded that there was a difference between his Tete and V the kpop idol.
"Don't worry, you'll heal up quickly.. you're still young. You'll be back on stage again." Jeong misread the look on Jimin's face, mistaking his guilt for longing.
"Yeah.." Jimin says, pretending to be distracted by the performance. The boys left Jimin's spot open throughout the whole performance, reminding him how often he gets center, his own self-loathing, making it seem like much more than it really was.
"Maybe we should turn it off and watch something else." Staff suggests, but Jimin keeps his hand firmly on the remote. "No, no, it's almost over.. I want to finish it.."
"Everyone together.. Get well soon Jimin-ah!" Taehyung's voice surprises Jimin, tears swelling up when he hears hundreds of voices screaming after him, including all his members.
"I can't believe he has the courage to yell like that in the middle of a performance.." Jimin smiles through the tears, seeing the Taehyung he grew up with, a boxy smile on his face as he makes a heart clearly meant for him.
"It wouldn't be the first time." Jeong gives Jimin a tissue.
"Thank you.." Jimin dabs his eyes, turning off the TV. "I'm still not feeling well.. I want to lay down a bit more.."
"Of course.. do you just want to lay on the couch or should we get you to bed?"
"I'm fine here..." Jimin slides down on the couch, Jeong gently pulling his injured ankle into his lap to give it some elevation.
There's no winning.. If I go, Taehyung will lose his smile.. they all will.. but if I stay, they won't be able to grow..
Jimin did you see the performance?
J-hope texts as soon as they get off stage into the green room.
Yeah, I saw it. Taehyungie did my part better than I did in all the practices. He should've gotten it in the first place..
Jimin replies, surprised by the flurry of responses he got back.
What? No, I was so nervous I moved too quickly. Luckily, since we never did it live before the audience won't know..
Taehyung replies.
He almost backed out of it because he was scared. I had to drag him from the bathroom.
It was Yoongi who replied next.
I felt sick to my stomach.. I didn't want to mess up Jiminie's part.. I'm glad you think I did well. It makes me happy.
Taehyung answers.
You wouldn't have been so nervous if you had more solos. I'm sorry, Tae. It's my fault..
Jimin wanted to tell him everything, but he couldn't risk making him cry. Not when there was a chance of them winning the award.
Jimin, what are you talking about? I think you should try to sleep more. Oh! Before you go. Check the socials. They'll help you cheer up.
Taehyung texts.
Socials?
Jimin gets on Twitter, the hashtags filled with things like #GetWellSoonJimin, #WeLoveYouJimin, and #WeMissYouMochi along with praise about BTS' performance.
They miss you already, Jiminie and so do we. It's not the same without you.
Jin texts.
Then I'll have to stay, but I want to stay out of the center for a bit.
Jimin texts, feeling guilty for even considering leaving. I'll have to work harder to share the spotlight. I can't leave my brothers, and I don't think they'd even let me..
Don't worry about that man. We'll keep you safe. Just like when you got threats before. We'll talk more when we get home, okay? No more secrets. Sleep for now..
With one last text from Yoongi, Jimin puts his phone away. We can work this out. We were able to get Taehyung recognized as being a part of the dance line,I just need to get Jin the main vocalist role instead of me..
Ideas swam in his head to try to put himself in the shadows, making him feel dizzy.
"Jimin-sii, I think you should put your phone away.. you aren't looking well.. I think you've had enough excitement for today.." Jeong suggests lightly, holding out his hand to take it.
Jimin hands it over, used to giving his phone to staff, throwing his arm over his face, falling into a dreamless sleep
Later that evening, the members return all piling into their home. His heart ached to see their happy faces, knowing what was about to come. He couldn't keep hiding it.
"We did a clean sweep, Jimin-hyung!" Jungkook proudly shows Jimin the trophies when he sees him slowly sitting up on the couch. "Did you see?"
"No, I went to sleep after the performance. I'm feeling a lot better now though" Jimin answers with a smile, not wanting to ruin his good mood.
"You look like you gained some color back." Namjoon reaches to touch Jimin's forehead. "They did well taking care of you."
"So what was this talk about 'you'll stay then?' " Jungkook asks with concern. It was all he could think about since he saw the message.
This doesn't involve him.. He's the lead vocalist... "Oh, i typed wrong..i was still pretty feverish then.. i meant stay like...resting and taking it easy on the sidelines until i recovered more.." jimin says casually. He had plenty of time to think of an excuse.
"That's all? What a relief.." Jungkook smiles. "So what-"Jimin's stomach growling stops Jungkook mid sentence. "Did you eat?"
"I tried to, but my stomach was upset earlier..hey Jungkook I know you just got back, but could you make me those noodles you made me last time?"
"Huh? Sure. Whatever you want, hyung." The Mankae runs to the kitchen.
"Alright Jimin, what was that last text about for real? That story might work on Jungkook, but i know thats bullsh*t" Yoongi sits on the bed next to him, getting right to the point.
"Yeah Jiminie, something has been bothering you.. I know it.." Taehyung sits on the other side.
"Are you afraid to go back in public?" Jin tries to guess when Jimin stays silent.
"No, no..it's about..about what that man said, I know..I know I can't leave.. this is my home.. we belong together.. but he made me realize.. Jinnie Hyung.. you and Taehyungie sing much better than I can, I should be a sub vocalist not you guys.."
"What? Is that what this is about? Jiminah, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.." Jin knew exactly how he felt about not being good enough. He had no prior singing or dancing experience before joining and always felt like he wasn't good enough compared to the others.
Honestly, some days, he still felt that way.
"We chose roles as a group. You were chosen for your talent. I saw it the moment I heard you sing.. you've improved so much since then.. you deserve where you are." Yoongi explains to Jimin, looking at the others to back him up.
"Jiminie, you're my best friend, I'm happy where I am.. sure, in the beginning, I wished I had more lines, but I'm perfectly content with just backing you and the others up. I'm happy with just performing all together." Taehyung cuddles into Jimin's cheek. "Don't worry about me, okay? I'll tell you if I'm ever unhappy. "
"I feel the same, I don't care how many parts I have as long as we can sing together." Jin reassures him.
"Don't let one person get to you. You were destined to be where you are now. Don't let anyone tell you any different, but if it really bothers you that much, we can keep it in mind for the future, okay?" Namjoon wipes Jimin's tears.
Jimin nods, unable to get the tears to stop flowing. He had been worried for nothing. "Thank you.."
"I love you, Jiminie. We all do. Don't forget that.." Namjoon tells him. "We'll figure this out together."
(Sorry about the ending. I redid it five times and I didn't like any of them. This open ended one is the best without it seeming too forced)

PLEASE I wanna hear about the Drayton angst fr there's so many layers to him!
Drayton angst it is ouo
Idk he gives off Dave Strider vibes hahah like, idk if you know homestuck but yeah, Dave is like, the coolkid of their session/group, but he's also really insecure w a lot of stuff and as stuff progressed he realized how messed up everything was, especially w his bro and how he treated Dave
And not to say Drayton was mistreated, not in that way ofc, but y'know hahah
It's just the vibes y'know, he acts all laid back and cool, being one of the strongest trainers of their school and being trained by a Champion too, he has a lot going on. Tho it's also the fact that he's so shit when it comes to class, I wanna say academics really isn't his thing, and he's trying so so hard to understand his lessons, but no matter how hard he tries he just couldn't, so somewhere down the line he gave up, and became lazy when it comes to class
And sometimes it gets him y'know, sometimes during class hours while he's at the club room, his thoughts would often drift off to Iris. Iris struggled with classes too, he knew that, she struggled so much but she persisted, and she passed, while not with flying colours, she still passed her classes. Why can't he do the same?
And, y'know, it's his pride, he wants to ask Iris for help, but he also kinda,, resents her a bit now y'know. As the years went by, Iris became so so busy w Champion duties, especially w all the meetings w the Champions, sometimes Iris doesn't have the time to be home for dinner, and he misses her. Sometimes he gets jealous of the other Champions too, how Diantha and Lance and Cynthia are all so close w Iris, the former two treating her like their own daughter, while the latter treating her like her sister. And it sucks for him y'know. Why can she find the time to be w the other Champions but not w her actual family?
It got to the point that one time when he's talking abt Iris, while he still looks up to her, he'd have biting words too; talking to Florian and Nemona, and how sometimes they often forget to visit their home again w how busy they are w class, their journey, and even their own champion duties, and he's just "well, guess that's the job of a champion, huh? Not being able to visit family. I'm sure my sis knows that, wonder how she's doin' right now," all w that smile, that forced af smile, but somehow people still see it as him being laid back
But he misses her, y'know. He just misses her. He eats dinner late, alone, waiting for her. His family thought he was just that lazy that he wouldn't even eat, but he was waiting for her, he's always waiting for her
Oughgh imagine one night Iris got home late too, and she saw Drayton there on the table fast asleep, and augh,,, your honour, that breaking Iris' heart, she forgot she promised they'd train together today, but w the League duties, and w Hilbert out of the region for a bit, she couldn't find the time. Imagine her either waking him up or carrying him to his room, and she notices how light he was. Has he been eating well? But like, she's there kinda kicking herself too, bc she forgot abt her bro y'know, and she wants to make up for it
Also omf bc this was my initial concept for my lil comic, that when he was a bit younger, around 14 and she was 17, when Iris gave him the jacket, it was actually supposed to be after a training session w Drayden, and how Drayton lost to him. Iris tried to cheer him up by getting him the jacket, and ofc that made him happy. But also, before Iris left, she told him that "whenever I think of the day I finally lose to someone, I always think I'd lose to you. I couldn't imagine anyone else be Unova's next Champion but you, Drayton. I can't wait for that battle."
And god did that just cbmdbd that gave him hope yknow, ofc, he was fourteen, he had so much hopes and dreams, but w how he is w class now, how he repeated his second year three times now maybe, how he gave up down the line, he thinks that maybe that battle w Iris won't ever happen. And he's starting to think if he becomes Champion, like, the real deal Champion, he'd bear those responsibilities too, and honestly, he doesn't really like that kinda responsibility. Maybe that's why their grandpa didn't make him Gym Leader despite his strength, unlike Iris, he wasn't good w his duties. He didn't even really call himself the BB League's champ bc he doesn't like responsibilities too lmfao
But yeah, in a nutshell, he's that cool kid that's like, one small problem away from crying but he doesn't cry bc he thinks it's not cool lmfaooo and he's like, Iris' number one fan, he'd always show off how his sis is the champion one way or another I bet that when he was much younger he also pulled the "my sis is the champion and she can beat your ass!" Card whenever he can I just know it hahah

182 Days of TPN - Day 137
Chapter 137: "Conversion"
It may only happen twice but I shall never get tired of seeing Emma slap the hell outta Ray. He's so stunned on both occasions that he can't even think of getting mad.
Tumblr media
He is so freakin' lost it's actually adorable. It takes a great amount of nonsense to confuse a full-scorer so congrats to the Seven Walls and Emma's reasoning for completely stumping my boy and leaving him speechless.
Tumblr media
I know the manga is showing us the flashbacks for our sake, but with how the duo is sorta looking off to the side instead of at each other, it makes me wanna believe they can see the images too. Hey, the Seven Walls can do anything. It ain't too farfetched to think it could project their memories right in front of their eyes like little screens. It's been playing with their minds this whole time anyways.
Tumblr media
Bro help she's so cute being this tiny and explaining something this advanced to him.
Tumblr media
Emma outright declaring she's acting on impulse gives me serious nostalgia for ch17 and I love it so much. Trust her hunch Ray, it's been right before!
Tumblr media
I'll be damned.. I actually remembered to bring up what I had mentioned back in April. Huzzah!
"..when the trio speculate what’s outside of Grace Field’s large walls and Ray mentions the possibility of a desert, it reminds me of his time in The Seven Walls. While there, he states he’s never actually seen a desert (and concludes one only shows up because he visualized a vast space and sand due to the riddle), but it was satisfying to remember that he at least did think of what they look like once upon a time (here in ch16). I dunno, it just feels better knowing that one appearing in T7W wasn’t totally done at random, I guess."
Tumblr media
It's scary to think how easy it is to actually lose yourselves in the Seven Walls. Ray mentions last chapter that the longer they stayed trapped here, the more his senses became messed up and had difficulties recognizing the differences between dreams and reality. Safe to say that he'd be truly lost without Emma's guidance.
Tumblr media
I'm sorry but my RE heart is howling at this entire chapter. It's not even due to the ohmygodtheyreholdinghands thing, it's because of how determined they are to work through this confusing place together and everything else I ramble on about below.
Tumblr media
Ray knows her logic is insane yet he chooses to put his life in her hands once more and trusts her plans anyway despite not understanding it fully and damn it they both make me so soft.
Tumblr media
The fact that Emma was able to make some reasonable sense of this chaotic space and advise Ray of her logic in a way he would understand so they can both advance further into the Seven Walls together is nothing short of amazing and no doubt one of my favorite moments for her. And for Ray. It's takes a lot of grit to follow such a reckless leader after all.
Tumblr media
Them actually succeeding and my boy being completely baffled that he just becomes an incoherent mess (he's just like me fr fr.)
Tumblr media
Ah, so this is the hole that I've been trapped in ever since I started the series because I have yet to escape it.
Tumblr media
My lovely GP children look fabulous. Can't say I'm a fan of how Norman & Vincent plan on using them for their plan though, even if just for logistical support. I'm sure the kids probably agreed to help but eh, they way they're chatting about their possible assistance makes me kinda skeptical about it.
Tumblr media
Favorite panel/moment:
Okay, I honestly had such a hard time to decide.. there's so much I love about this chapter: Emma slapping Ray once again, him being totally confuzzled by her fantastic big brain moments, his mumbling, and the quick glimpse and the GP resistance at the shelter. This chapter has SO MUCH of everything that I adore and is probably one of my favorites. I obviously can't forget about these breathtaking double spreads either. Demizu never ceases to amaze me. The artwork is so incredible and I'll forever be upset that we didn't get to see this beauty animated.

What’s the wildest scene you’ve ever written and what song is the soundtrack to that scene?
define "written"
fr i'm bad at this thing you call "writing", especially actually advancing any of my wips so most if not all of them are stuck in 1-3 chapters limbo. so let me tell you about the plot point entirely inspired by me listening to stay awake? by bastille
i have give me the future (album) to thank for much of the vibe of my book keep staring. first with distorted light beam and then with stay awake? which immediately formed the image in my head of a dream version of piedad appearing in adam's head.
Tumblr media
this is our thesis statement. later i would pair up stay awake? with drive by halsey to create one big moment between our two leads but i don't think the dubbed "car drive scene" is that wild. i actually don't know if the stay awake? scene is wild either but it's all i have that isn't the ending of any of my books, there's two i can think of that are especially wild (including this one). and they don't really have a soundtrack.
i listened to stay awake? but for a while it was simply a silly amv in my head... until i found this photo of piedad's fc lydia graham (that i used on that one netflix trend: keep staring edition). which i messaged by best friend with "this looks like piedad in one of adam's dreams"
Tumblr media
further context: up until this moment adam had been indulging on this dream as a bad coping mechanism. but even a dreamer's dreams have limits and for the dreamers in my world that is not being capable of bringing human beings into the waking world. adam's coping lasts only as long as he's asleep and soon that starts to feel to him like getting poked with red hot metal. so he snaps at dream!piedad, as we see above. a few other responses from them include: "don't i look real?" and "you're mad at me now for being what you wanted?" and "like you ever cared." because when you're a dreamer sometimes your dreams will call you out for manipulating the dreamspace to your liking.
i have plans to have dream!piedad kill adam at some point. and the phrasing of that hopefully tells you it does not affect him in the waking world, aside from a rude awakening and he'll probably be hurting for a few days. i don't know if i want it to happen here, because i don't even know when this scene is going to happen and how much i want to sour whatever thing adam and his bad coping mechanism have going on.
Tumblr media
the no death option looks a little like this: adam has an argument with dream!piedad, a full-on fight that has the dreamspace practically bursting at the seams, all the while dream!piedad sways between being that fantasy adam concocted (partly by accident tbf but hey he let it continue) and becoming angrier and angrier with him. but because ✨toxic relationship (yes even in his dreams he has so many issues)✨ it kinda goes nowhere, kiss it better. adam still feels like he's being prodded and prodded. the dreamspace can feel as real as the waking world to a dreamer, to the point most have a hard time discerning whether they've woken up or not sometimes, but there's always that knowledge... that it's fake. adam can dream himself fifteen different realities where he and piedad leave the city and forget everything.
but that doesn't change the real world. the city in keep staring is the result of me listening to dead club city by nothing but thieves so it tilts towards slightly dystopic and maybe a bit sentient. you can't just leave the city, or these characters can't, they're woven into its fabric. the story won't be letting them go that easily. if adam and piedad could just leave and forget, this wouldn't be a tragedy.
Tumblr media
which brings us straight into the next chapter. the "car drive scene" chapter. i literally just talked about this on another post's tags but the drive by halsey chapter is from piedad's pov. adam's chapter ends (how? unsure, but we get no hints of what's about to happen) and we open with piedad doing their own thing... only to realise after his outburst in the dream adam drove to piedad's current place and asks if they want to go on a drive.
then the chapter happens and the experience of listening to stay awake? immediately followed by drive is surreal to me specifically because it really does feel like getting the two povs of my characters one after the other

Thinking about that one anon's dream that had Eve in it. Thinking about how it would have affected V1 in the long run.
Would it be gentler to the human-like enemies? Would it still kill them to put them out of their misery? Would it search in every face of every demon and husk it fought for a hint of what they lost?
Would V1 have wiped it's memory of Eve? To not get in the way of its programming? To be able to cope with their loss?
Would they have hard coded her into themselves, to never forget her? Or to carry the memory of punishment, of what they could not save?
Thinking thinking thinking.
Thinking about how Eve essentially showed a machine that was capable of so much violence and only knew of that blood and war that even it could remain in comfort and live instead of survive.
Thinking about how it could combine with your shipping, how it's time with Eve is reflected in how it shows their love with Gabriel, or that it finds a sweet mirror in the love given to them.
Thinking about how maybe it picks up pottery, and that they drag Gabriel into it too. I wonder if the patterns the two make are reflective of their personalities. Each of the angels absolutely end up with their own vase, probably fitting them in some way.
(see this!)
GOD FR ;o; i do like to think of v1 retaining something of that memory, though it has become corrupted and difficult for it to consciously interpret - however, that can't override its war programming and how it was made to take human life above anything else. a pessimist would see v1 and believe that nothing had changed about it, that it forgot the person that had showed it kindness to revert near instantly back to its callous objectives, but that's not entirely true either. v1, for me, can only overcome its programming on a case-by-case basis and it absolutely has to fight its code on it, to the point that it is nearly exhausting...but what could show more love? so i don't think v1 would care anymore than it ever did for things that appear more human - they are what it was created and trained to kill - but i think it does seek recognition of someone it once knew unconsciously. because a few rare people in its memory are special. it doesn't know if it can see them in husks, but its computer tries anyway.
but i absolutely do think an experience like that would help guide v1 in how to be gentler with gabriel, especially when they get that apartment. its half-memories would fill it and gabriel would swear he sees nostalgia in it...it makes him wonder for the first time what v1's life has been, what its existence was before it ever came to hell. yet it can really tell him nothing as it tries to access corrupted file after corrupted file...it's frustrating to even try, so gabe thinks instead v1 should just follow the whims they provide and see if it can restore anything that way. he would absolutely love taking up pottery with it, and their pieces definitely would be quite different - v1 loves its sharp angles while gabriel tries for flowing, graceful forms....although they both know they're terrible at it to start. but v1 also tries to recreate the little vase in its mind, the one it lost a long time ago, and it's quite different than anything else it does. when questioned about it, it does tell gabriel that someone had this. a long time ago. it doesn't remember who and it doesn't remember where, just the vase. it leaves gabriel very quiet as he comes to understand that v1 knew people...or at least it knew someone. all he can hope for is that they're still around.

Fic Masterlist
Lie to Me (Apollo x Percy)
Summary: Percy's got a lot going on: a new apartment, a new job, a new editor for her manuscript, a new ... boyfriend? Can't forget the new army Hazel's been cooking up in New Rome. Oh, and her Dad wants her to get married, preferably to someone immortal, because he just loves her that much.
Apollo ... isn't really into marriage, or that much into Percy, or at all into doing Poseidon's bidding. But he is into revenge. And safety. And maybe into overthrowing Zeus. He's just grateful he's a good liar.
How else is he meant to pretend he loves Percy for the rest of his life?
Playlist
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
The Last of a Dying Breed (Apollo x Percy)
Summary: “You do not go on quests, Percy,” Apollo told her flatly. “You assign them. You're the one they come to when they need to embark on a perilous journey.”
“I send them to their deaths, you mean,” Percy snapped.
“If that's what lies in their fate,” was the callous answer.
Percy Jackson grows up during World War II, takes up the mantle of the Oracle of Delphi in a desperate bid to save her fellow demigods – and then watches all her siblings die one by one due to a prophecy she made. 
Bianca di Angelo just wants to know why she cannot remember anything except the face of the Oracle sleeping in the attic of the Big House. And why Annabeth insists that Bianca is the hero they need to find Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt.
Preferably before they start World War III.
Playlist
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
Memory in a Mural (Apollo x Percy)
Posted on AO3
Summary: Percy never thought he'd say this, but he felt a smidgeon of sympathy for a Titan. If hindsight was 20-20, then there was no way that Epimetheus, with his shoddy vision, ever walked anywhere without crashing into innumerable walls.
For Percy, after all, the clues had been as obvious as a trail of breadcrumbs.
But it still took Daedalus showing Percy, not Icarus, the marvellous mechanical wings the inventor had devised to escape the Labyrinth, for the demigod to notice the arrow speeding straight for his face.
Being stuck here, not in a dream, but in someone else's body, was the wall that Percy had crashed into and brought down on himself.
Percy had landed in the past – and he had no one but himself to blame.
Part 1, Part 2
Dionysus Presents: The Gods of Olympus
Summary: Where Apollo picks on Dionysus because how come someone other than him is the one allowed to live full-time at his new Delphi? And Dionysus decides to ruin Apollo's life by making a tell-all, ridiculous show about the Gods.
Starring: Apollo the Instrument Shop owner, Zeus the Pilot, Hades the Crystal Connoisseur, Poseidon as That One Surfer Dude Who Thinks He Can Fish, Ariadne the Apple of the Director's Eye (or should it be grape?), and other sundry gods Dionysus is sure will get on his wrong side someday.

The Sand on your Shores (Apollo x Percy)
Read on Ao3
Summary: “Percy Jackson?" Apollon queried haughtily.
The sole human of the trio looked over insouciantly. “Yeah?”
Apollon pursed his lips, inordinately irritated at being ignored by the other two. No creature with the scales of the sea or with the glow of divinity should ever ignore him, even if he was currently mortal.
“You have been granted the great privilege of my services,” Apollon gritted out.
“Which one?” the monstrous son of Poseidon inquired.
Apollon glared in silent inquiry.
“Which Percy Jackson are you meant to serve?” the monster clarified.
Apollon blinked, abruptly shaken out of his terrified fury. “There's more than one?”
“You see,” the demigod explained with the air of one who knew he was about to ruin a person's day, “We're all Percy Jackson. Every single one of us.”
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Drowning on Dry Land (Apollo x Percy)
Read on AO3
Summary: For a fleeting second, Apollo imagined that he was in one of his gilded marble temples. This was just another petitioner come crawling on their knees for a miracle from the great Apollo. Then the second passed. The walls were the impersonal, antiseptic white of the Apollo Teaching Hospital, not the carved marble of a Roman temple. At his side wasn’t a stone altar but a creaky metal examination table on the verge of collapse. And he wasn’t the Olympian god Apollo but the grandson of Koios, the Titan Lord of the North, eking out his survival by virtue of his mother’s tears and his grandfathers’ forbearance. “Ms Percy Jackson.” Apollo addressed the eighteen-year-old. “As often as you visit, I’m starting to think you just want to see me.” Kronos won the war before the Olympians even knew there was one. Stripped of most of his domains and stuck performing menial tasks for the Titans' entertainment, Apollo is desperate for any change. And then he finds a demigod he just knows will be important.

Fluttering Fireflies (Apollo x Percy)
Posted on Ao3
Summary: Percy stared at Apollo, flummoxed. “I told you that accepting anything from you because you have a crush on me would be taking advantage of you. So you decided you wanted to marry me instead?”     
“Yes,” Apollo stated.
Percy ran a hand through his hair, before he turned a beseeching look at his father. But Poseidon just offered him a proud smile.
And why not? The god had just arranged the marriage of his youngest child with an Olympian who had fallen for Percy like a rock off the peak of Mount Everest.
Percy threw up his hands in the air. “I … am done. Just done.” Done wondering just when he’d entered an alternate dimension where Poseidon took pleasure in betrothing Percy.
1, 2, 3
Between the Heavens and the Embers
Posted on Ao3
Summary: Percy was an eagle. Without wings or claws, Percy had somehow become an eagle. "Focus." “I,” she began haltingly. “I was …” trying to avoid sleep, “trying to detect any pursuers. When my hearing sharpened. And I could suddenly overhear … birds.” The rustle of feathers, the flutter of leaves, the whistle of the wind through the slats, and the screeching of the train wheels on the rails. The metronome beating a steady, artificial rhythm where Apollo’s heart should have been. “I can hear things,” she finished pathetically. “In moments of terrible stress,” Apollo glanced around their banal surroundings and amended, “or moments of great paranoia, demigods are liable to direct their untapped potential into cultivating their senses for a power-up. You’re transitioning – from human to something more … demigodly. You’re literally growing more sensory receptors. But your brain–” Apollo shrugged as if the state of her pitifully mortal brain matter was a foregone conclusion. “Brains are delicate. Elastic, but given to self-preservation. It’ll be a long time if ever until you adapt to your senses.”
Long enough that she might die because of those senses.
Part 1
Ocean of Storms (Apollo x Percy)
Apollo is many things - the premier mage of light on Earth, the director of the Association of Medicine, the son of the ruler of most of the known Universe. He's also, more recently
The killer of his great Uncle, one of the titans of the Titans Corporation.
Exiled from Earth
Stuck on Pan, a watery exoplanet in the Andromeda Galaxy
Falling in love with a smuggler, provider of home-made health supplements, and quite possibly someone who sparks storms across the planet when she's upset
About to get into a fight with the Titans so he can get his exile rescinded and return to Earth.
It's been a busy couple of weeks.

My world's gone upside down
A Cornucopia of Surprises (Apollo x Percy)
Summary: A god for a boyfriend brings along a lot of perks: fast transportation, a warm body to leech heat off, and the certainty that this was one guy who was never going to die on her. Sure, Apollo had his issues - chief among them an incomprehensible distaste for Taylor Swift.
But that was no reason to turn Percy into a horror from the deep seas just because she sang a few too many lyrics! (And no, mermaids weren't cute. They couldn't breathe above water, after all.)
Part 1, Part 2
Stuck in your Head (Apollo x Percy, Percy x Annabeth)
Posted on AO3
Summary: Chaos tries to send Persia Jackson into the past because she'd like a few more followers, thank you. The Fates drag her into Perseus's Jackson's world to regurgitate her life story because they'd rather not get wiped from existence, thank you. And Percy? Well, Percy doesn't think reading about the life and times of his alternate is going to prove very useful when the gods have never learnt of a loss they can't change.
Rachel ... thinks the boy in her dreams is creepy. Just not creepier than the guy promising to return her to her home if she only does him a teeny-tiny favour and helps him kill Daedalus before Kronos can possess an automaton.
The gods have also never heard of patience or waiting until they have the whole story, after all.
Part 1
House of Memories

Tyche really might be into him, Apollo realised as he looked at the arm-length splinter buried into the ground just a couple inches from his foot.
Then he dismissed the notion.
More like, Eris had the hots for him, really, but he was just too good to fall for her machinations.
‘More like, you've already been through this day before,’ an alarmingly familiar voice snapped inside Apollo's mind. ‘This day, this decade, and even this century!’
‘Or more like,’ Apollo’s voice continued, undeterred, ‘I have gone through this century before.’
Yes, his manifestation had clearly undergone some terrible trauma before Apollo had summoned it back if it was labouring under the impression it had time-travelled.

Can we talk about how insane this bit: "I just wanted to be one of those ghosts/You thought that you could forget/And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror/On a long drive from the back seat/But it’s alright, 'cause you love me/And you recognise that it ain’t how it should be/Your eyes are heavy and the weather’s getting ugly/So pull over, I know the place/Don't you know that an apparition is a cheap date?" in Star Treatment is???
Alex wanting to be disassociated in a relationship, him thinking that's fine as part of the package of 'love', the partner not really being ok with it, and in the end he doesn't get what he wants because he has to take care of their needs (or maybe his solution is to break up once they have had enough and are sick of him). like this is my personal interpretation and you could also frame it as him thinking about his fame but either way Alex is inSANEEE
anon come on where do i even begin with this 😭
alex's songs are almost all very hard to crack but i feel like star treatment is one of the hardest, it's so dense. all of the verses are jam packed with very specific metaphors, if you don't have the key you're not getting in fr. also one of the cases where i feel like the "words are there to carry the melody" a lot of the times, so it's very hard to pick which ones are worth analyzing
that being said. i think your interpretation is very interesting and very valid, and like i said for someone who doesn't have the key (none of us do, is what i mean) i think it's well founded and makes sense. but if i may.
it's very clear that this verse is meant to parallel the first verse in the song, which to me is him commenting on how when he was young he dreamed of doing what the strokes do, be in a band with his friends, and then he blinked and a decade later he was a world-famous rockstar with such a whirlwind as a baggage in his personal and professional life. and on how yeah he's in this place now with all of this fame and success and he's still uninspired and suffering from writer's block. i'd expand but we're not here to talk about the first verse, i'm just saying this so we have in mind that i think this song is very introspective and self-reflective in its nature
so in the second verse. i think he's talking to himself. his past self talking to his current self, more specifically. "i just wanted to be one of those ghosts you thought that you could forget" meaning his past versions haunt him, as ghosts do, but he wishes he could forget them, forget how he was
but "then i haunt via the rear view mirror on a long drive from the backseat" meaning he can't help it. every time he looks back on his life (throught the rear view mirror) he's still haunted by his old versions (the backseat here being the past, you know. or even, as if to say his past versions are always on the backseat of his mind. he's always thinking about them and they're always influencing him)
"but it's alright cause you love me and you recognize that it ain't how it should be" would mean that he appreciates his past selves (how everyone looks fondly at our own past versions for getting us here) but yeah it's come a little too far (...........the mess we made him make and all........)
"your eyes are heavy" could very well be a reference to how he's tired of writer's block, of his fame, of this spiral of always driving this long road (which would be life, i guess) constantly looking at the past, and "and the weather is getting ugly" is the negative side of all of it outside of him, like people's perception of him and of the band, how time is running out for him to write an album, how he has an image to uphold, etc etc
"so pull over, i know the place" gets a little lost on me, i'm ngl. if this is his past self talking to his present self, it could mean a metaphorical comfort zone, like. "just start creating and things will work out"/"trust your gut". his past self would know, that's what he's always been doing. or something like that
"don't you know an apparition is a cheap date" is just a slap in the face lol. i feel like it's the reverse now, his present self talking to his past self, literally him saying like "don't you think it's cheap to come on to me like this to get me think about you?" like, "you really had to come as a ghost and haunt me? low blow"
but oof. yeah i'm drained now. and sad vfkvmjfnvgj

I’ve been really struggling to connect to the new team the past few years, but I gotta say, players like Pedri, Gavi, and Araujo have made it easier, especially this season. There’s just something about Pedri and Gavi specifically that makes me excited; I feel like the two of them are destined for Barca greatness and I am genuinely excited to witness it, even if a large part of me still misses our old teams, and am still painfully dealing with the loss of Leo
‼️ this :)
I had a tough time especially starting after 2018 (Iniesta's departure acted a shift in the team); I connected less and less with the teams from 2018 to 2021 until, subsequently, Leo's own departure. Felt like 3/4 of the players on the pitch were randoms. Youngsters from La Masia (Gavi) or outsiders just as passionate about the club (Araujo, Pedri) brought a genuine wind of youth and sense of reconnection with the supporters within the team. It is really interesting to observe, starting with the shirts' sales.
I too can't help but compare this current team with the olders; who can forget the incomparable feeling of winning a Treble with a home-grown team like the 2011 squad? Who can forget the familiarity, the stupendous chemistry of the 2011's? The fun, deadliness and warmth of the 2015's one? The insane dreams brought by the 2017's? Who can forget the people who wore their numbers to give us glory? I still read Messi when I see the 10, I still think of Xavi or Andrés in the 6 and 8, Busquets 5, Alba, even fucking Piqué, Alves or Luis. I never trusted any other team that these, and thankfully, those are not meant to be forgotten, rather cherished. But they are also meant to make way for new memories. It isn't fair to no one to cling on to it. We went through a very tough period, results-wise, institutionnaly-wise and team-wise, and we are now getting our head out of the water. Number change hands.
Players like Pedri, Gavi, Araujo have this kind of eerie familiarity, homeliness, like seeing them in Blaugrana just feels right. I like our fellow players very much, but these three do stand out as fitting with the crest, belonging to the colors and the club, it's quite strange. Some feeling I used to only get with a couple of other names. As you said, they help us find this love for this team again, but also, and maybe most of all, the trust. I fall in love with the team all over again when I see Gavi kiss that crest fiercely; and I realize I trust him to fight for each ball regardless of the score. I fall in love when Pedri produces his selfless ever-growing talent in the midfield, and I realize I trust him to inject the dynamism to run to that goal. I fall in love when I see Araujo defending the colors , and I realize I trust him to take on any winger. I realize Ansu is still a kid of 20 years of age, and I hope I can begin to trust him too, as with Frenkie, MTS, Lewandowski, Christensen, Baldé, Koundé, and every other player in the squad. It's just a question of time before these names become as familiar to me, and to the supporters, as all the names before them.
Trusting a team & genuinely liking each of its player is a process of time. And these time of players make me genuinely so damn excited to see them grow wearing our colors and improve their chemistry, talent and the team altogether, and I can only be so grateful we have them hopefully for many years to come. i know gavi aint leaving unless we kick him by the boots (remind u of anyone much?) so i'm quite sure about it but i aint lying when i say if pedri goes elsewhere it will crush me cause be fr They now gotta ciment their place and work together to get to the top — next season is going to be so fun, for players and supporters alike. ❤️

What is the best/most recent/most interesting (up to you!) Dream youve had that you can somewhat rememeber?
OK SO. my dreams are somewhat all over the board. Either bleeding into reality (this is annoying as hell and really fucks with me sometimes), being mildly off the walls (Things Occurring in rapid succession with no clear reason or logic), or something really silly we're not geting into. Generally this is more of a spectrum however (imagine an xyz plane of borderline reality to clearly never happened, off the walls things happening to basic and understandable narrative, and silly to not silly). Last night's dream for example lands on the slightly silly, would be near reality if not for the batshit plot.
MORE UNDER CUT IDFJFT HOW LOMG IT SHOUDL BE BEFORE I CUT IT BUT I LOOKED AT IT LIKE HM. THATS LONG.
THAT SAID. We aren't talking about lasts night dream sorry babe (BABE REFFERINGTO THE DREAM). I DO however have a few assorted dreams that I've tucked under the "try not to forget because they were of interest" category (they're living in my brain right next to the dreams that I won't forget.) I may or may not have talked about them before, but we have the reoccurring power rangers plot, the dragon under the Italian restaurant dream, THEN THIS ONE DREAM.
power rangers plot. Alright. Basically, I'm generally at my house or my childhood home (feels dramatic to say it like that), and like. Things start occurring. Ranging from me getting evicted to there being fighting outside for no good reason. Regardless of the case, I get contacted by none other than the power rangers. For some reason, I have the morphin crystal whatevers in my possession and I need to go fight whatever evil is occurring directly outside my home (they want to steal the crystals. Obviously.) I, a power ranger, go fight them, nearly die a bunch of times (can't actually die I'm a power ranger. Duh.) And inevitably wake up with no real. Conclusion.
DRAGON DREAM. Had this dream when I was a kid (I forget exact age) and fell absolutely in love like I thought about this dream so much I expanded the world and made more characters and plot lines to fit in and everything. I tried sooo hard to have this dream again just so I could make my dreams (thoughts???) a reality (dream.?) I don't think I ever managed to. Very basic plot summary is: restaurant is advertising dragon slides, huge room with dragon, one real, one clearly fake, dragon advertised as hyper realistic replica, dragon is real and literally eating people. I fell. Absolutely in love with this concept. Thought about it for days on end. There was even this "plot"??? Where people were divided over whether they hated and wanted to kill the dragon or wanted to continue living under the dragon in fear (dragon was orchestrating the whole thing in this plotline and threatened to eat anyone who disagreed) and I don't think that plotline ever actually reached a conclusion.
ANYWAYS DROPPING THAT FOR NOW umm. There's a lot of like. People from my dreams I think about a bit. There was this one particularly fucked up dream I'm not getting into, and there's this one lady I think about a bit. She was a deeply saddened individual to say the least and I wish her the best. There's potato the white lab (maybe?) who I kind of love and would do anything for (he got lost then I found him. Ignoring the rest of the dream. Obama was there.) Who wasn't there for like half the dream and wasn't even my dog. There's the awkward host from dragon dream. Absolute loser. A few days ago we had the lesbians that blocked my way to the drinking fountain because they were making out and i didnt want to bother them (this dream had an absolutely unfollowable plot too.)
ALSO shout out to all those silly dreams that appealed to my fears. Generally those have the most solid plotline which is mildly annoying. Honestly I don't really need their help to be scared thanks I do that to myself enough though. I'm still not sure if the screwdriver thing was from a dream or just a really stupidly active imagination because well! It's certainly active. Just don't know why that in particular really stuck with me.
I think we would be here all day if I ever got to talk about everything I remember in depth </3

Wattpad really is bitching fr because I've been on wattpad since 2012 (I went on a hiatus back in like 2016/2017?) Didn't go back on until 2020/21 and when I came back it was SO different 😵‍💫. It truly was easier to get away with stuff back then vs now!!
It really is always the English teachers being the best!! (Mine wasn't exactly attractive but he wasn't bad looking) and I enjoyed History, but she was friends with my older brother and I hated it LMAOOOO. They went to college together back in the day. But my geography teacher... all the girls fancied him 🫠 he was the best and super chill. But we really can't forget about the humanities teachers 👀 & secondary school really was a fever dream!!! The ONLY reason I'd go back is because of my teachers. Nothing else 😩 I MISS IT. I'm adulting and still job hunting, it sucks! 😭
Also sorry it got sent in three times JDKDKDK it told me it failed to send ffs 💀making me look like a clown. Trains and tumblr do not mix🤡
That's pretty interesting it was dependant on set in your school! For us, we only had sets for the science and maths GCSEs. Everyone read the same thing across all of our forms, in my school!
wattpad just fell off after they introduced ads and some next subscription bs 💀
OHOH THE HISTORY/GEOGRAPHY/HUMANITIES TEACHERS WERE ALSO THE BEST !! they were so easy going and fun to talk to and even though he subjects were hard, just the teachers themselves made the lessons worth attending 🥹
and don’t worry about all the asks !! i appreciate spam even if it wasn’t your intention 😭🫶

What are your icks as far as food goes? 🤔
Nasty combinations? Overcooked meat? Terrible in general? Lay it on me.
Broken Clocks - ask me my ‘icks’ about anything
ooh I like this question! I am a huge foodie so I can't name any foods that I hate off the top of my head. but that doesn't mean I don't have my opinions on certain foods lol
for starters, I already got the ick when you mentioned overcooked meat 🥴 I work at a wedding venue, so I tend to eat the same foods every time I work. before i go into my little rant, I want to make it clear that I love our chef. He is a great cook, he loves his job, and he's like another dad to me. But I cannot eat any of the beef he cooks 😭😭😭 I'm the type of person that needs rare or medium rare for any beef. But our chef cooks it well done, like I do not see any red or pink when I bite into it. basically, I'm eating beef jerky with a little bit of juice lol chef kyle, if you're reading this, please don't disown me 💔💔💔
okay since we're still talking about my work, I'm gonna share a story about one couple that I worked for. So this couple was interesting. They had a few food allergens, but what made it more interesting was their wedding cake was TRAIL MIX FLAVORED
Tumblr media
I wish I was joking about this but no...I watched my coworker cut the cake and we found nuts and berries in that shit 😭 also the cake was topped with pistachio nuts like---- you can't make this up fr
I might get canceled for this but I do not like orange creamsicles or any desserts with oranges. But here's the thing: I LOVE oranges and I LOVE other fruit flavored ice creams. idk something about orange flavored ice cream just doesn't tickle my tastebuds.
I feel like this is a pretty popular opinion but I am not a fan of oatmeal raisin cookies. HOWEVER, my guy works at Mendocino Farms (bonus points to anyone that knows this place bc I learned about it when it met him jadhdjsgh) gave me a complimentary oatmeal raisin cookie and it was the best one I have ever eaten in my life and I'm not just saying that bc he's the Daddy Dom of my dreams dhgadlghgfh
In conclusion, those are the main food icks I have. If anyone has any that I am forgetting, let's chat about it ;)
