Ohmygosh 34 and 44 ?!
Hiiii Anon! :D
34: What I find attractive in women
Lots of things! I like muscles and strength best and a sort of toughness (like they could kick my butt lol). Tho I ADORE open minded folks who can debate topics without getting easily hurt and have a creative passion (like musicians or artists).
44: A random fact about anything
Uuuhhhhh... a dude once married his guitar. Like for real and had a ceremony and vows and everything. They even dated beforehand! I always thought that was wild.

Annabeth, and others, often treat Percy as if he’s ridiculous or obtuse for his reactions to the demigod world, when in reality he’s a (relatively) well adjusted kid who was raised by a loving parent. His actions make sense based on his upbringing
- parents arent supposed to be neglectful
- parents are supposed to be easily attainable, loving, and present in a child’s life
- if you’re in trouble, you should call for help, there isn’t shame in admitting you’re in over your head, you’re twelve
- you shouldn’t have to jump through life endangering hoops to get your parent’s attention
Annabeth acts like he’s ridiculous, but he’s right. Annabeth knows how the Greek world works, but Percy knows how the real world is supposed to work. & rightfully calls out the BS. But it’s hard for most demigods to agree because what kid wants to admit the way their parents treat them is awful? That their actions are those of aloof, negligent, even narcisstic people who are unwilling or incapable of giving the proper love and support a child needs. That even if their godly parent does love them, it’s a pathetic, horrible, attempt at love you’re better off without.

Summer days drifting away.
(bonus scribble of some froggy friends)
Bonus bonus Winter doodle cause I can mix seasons because I have no concept of time anyways!
I forgot to erase my excitement on the side! (And the little bean my sister added)
But who am I to deny the funny little side doodles! I love them!

none of you can possibly comprehend how not normal i am over the idea of villain gillion like. no matter the reason he’s doing it. even if the end goal is to “unite land and sea” that is clear fucking ‘the ends justify the means’ villain speak and what’s crazy is i can SO see gill justifying it like that.
what i think makes it especially alluring is that chip in the past has talked about how through this adventure so far, he’s learnt he’s wanted to be more. that he’s even learned he could be more. learned that he does care about other people, that he does want to help others; to save them in the same way he so often wanted someone to save him. about becoming the saviour he needed. he’s talked about not wanting to just be another petty thief or rouge anymore, about wanting to be a hero. and thus, chip through out this story, is slowly but surely, becoming the hero he never thought he could be.
and then isn’t it so narratively satisfying, wouldn’t it be such a beautiful parallel, if at the same time, Gillion Tidestrider, Champion of the Undersea, Hero of the Deep, who has all of his life trained to be a hero; devoted himself entirely to always doing what is right, to saving others, to helping everyone he can, who was always told he was a saviour, who has always believed there was never any path for him other than the one of a hero,,,,, for Gillion to become the villain he never thought he would be.
the idea of them switching places from start to end, with it culminating in chip pleading with gillion to do what’s right, to do what’s honourable, to be a hero. to stop hurting these people, to try and save them. to argue that there must be another way.
to once again offer out his hand and look gillion in the eyes and ask him to come with us. please, gill. just take my hand.
and for gillion to be the one to lash out, to push everyone away, push chip away— for gill to be the one who lies and says taking your hand is the worst mistake i ever made. there is no other way, chip. i may not die a hero, but these are the necessary sacrifices that must be made to do what is right.
and for chip to take in a deep, defeated breath. to drop his hand. to look away from gillion for a beat… before looking him back in the eyes with a storm in his gaze and an agonised smile on his face, and replying: then i hope gill, sincerely, the sacrifice is fucking worth it.
and then maybe they fight again. and it’s an excruciating reprise of the last two times, except this time it’s not because chip’s been a bastard and gillion wants his honour restored, and it’s not a for fun duel to cheer anyone up or apologise for past mistakes. its so much worse. so much more tragic. and this time, chip is the righteous and gillion is the one who must repent. and this time, if gillion wins and chip once again throws down his swords and puts gill’s blade to his neck and tells him to do it, just like the first… i’m not sure if gillion would hesitate.
Or alternatively, to have the roles completely reversed, having chip be the one to disarm gillion. and for gillion to be the one to say, chip’s sword at his throat, do it. and for chip to be able to say with absolute searing sincerity, y’know, i think that will always be the difference between you and me, gill. because if there’s one thing you need to know about me? i never would. i never would.
