Favorite underrated/not talked about thing about solangelo or PJO in general?

my favorite underrated thing about solangelo....hmmm............HMMM........ yknow what i havent seen anyone talk about how will said that nico throwing a whole party just to ask him out made him feel really special and gave him the courage and confidence to come out!! i was just thinking about it the other day. like now that we know that will is so plagued by self-doubt and insecurity, it means a lot for him to say that. im really soft for the idea of nico making will feel celebrated and just generally being ostentatiously proud of him. it reminds me of the moment in tower of nero when nico was like "everyone look at my glow-in-the-dark boyfriend" and will was clearly self conscious/felt like his glowing ability was embarrassing but nico thinks its the greatest thing ever. obsessed w the aspect of will feeling like he's lame and unimpressive and nico hyping him up or going out of his way to make will feel special

as for pjo in general we need to talk about thalia grace more she is such a good character and her story with luke and annabeth is so fascinating -- since percy is the narrator and his knowledge of that part of the story is limited, we just get these small enticing details that give us a glimpse of this super interesting dynamic!!! i think about it a lot. especially how in tlo when percy was considering giving luke the benefit of the doubt, the person who told him that luke had lost his chance for redemption and percy shouldn't feel sorry for him anymore was THALIA. even though luke's betrayal strongly affected percy and annabeth, i believe that it hurt thalia the most, and that one detail in tlo kind of gives that away to me. would love to see people talk about thalia more just in general

i really hope that thalia and annabeth and/or luke interact more in the pjotv show -- there are so many new opportunities to flesh out those types of relationships since the show isnt being told from one character's pov!!

Favorite YR character? And is it the same as the character you most relate to?

Hiii, thanks so much for the ask! 💜

Oh my god I can't possibly choose between Simon and Wille 😭😭😭😭 They're just.... SimonandWille. That's my favorite character, sorry, would you tear them apart??? I could never.

As for relatability: I relate a lot to Wille because like... family with expectations that you keep not meeting, mommy issues, (possible) anxiety, being very impulsive as a teenager... I saw that first scene with him biting his nails and Kristina slapping his hand away and I was like 👀 I'm gonna be extremely not normal about this character

20, 65, and 76 for the fanfic writer asks (also, any fic you want for 76)

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

Christ yes and it makes me feel very annoying lol I mean Hunter always has anxiety, but that might as well be canon imo. Since I only have 5 fics posted, when I take some of my WIPs into consideration there are definitely running themes of SH, SA, trauma, abusive parenting, irresponsible alcohol & drug consumption etc. Then again those are also just kind-of common themes in fanfic in general? I think?

Like some stuff can be attributed to the fact I write from the perspective of the same character a lot. So I have a specific way of writing his POV and stories about him. But yeah.

65. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

I typically keep my WIPs pretty close to the chest until they're ready to post because of reasons. BUT in the project that I've been kind of working on lately I'm excited to try to tackle some scenes between Hunter & Emily. And some moments that capture a platonic friendship between then and how I picture that taking shape post-canon.

76 Did you have any ideas that didn’t make the final cut of [Fanfic Name]? 

Yeah, plenty. Mostly in Does it get better? as all my other projects are fairly short in comparison. I have bits and pieces of scenes written and half written that Hunter wasn't present for. So there wasn't really anywhere to put them, because I liked having only 1 chapter be from someone else's POV.

I might one day knit those together into a sortof "sister fic" but probably not like super soon. Partly because I'm still trying to deal with life as it just continues lifing lmao

Thank you for sending these ^-^ 🤘

For the DVD commentary thing:

Shit, Steve thinks again, wondering briefly if Argyle’s got someone feeding him fucking lines or something, if someone’s given him a manual that reads Steve’s Buttons and How to Push Them. Robin, probably. She would do something like that, and Steve makes a mental note to confront her about it, or to ask what he did to deserve such a callous act of revenge. But later, because it’s hardly important now as Argyle brings the joint to his lips once more, the end of it burning a bright orange-red. Steve’s not any more prepared this time, but he lets his mouth fall open again anyway, Argyle’s voice telling him he’s doing good ringing through his head as his breath fills his lungs.

I *love* your writing by the way!!!

send me a <500 word excerpt from one of my fics and i'll give you my thoughts and commentary!

from "from the tone of your voice,"

ahh! flustered steve, my beloved. even mid-bluescreen, he's got something to be a bitch about. really what's happening (and i already mentioned this in the last ask, but it's a recurring theme) is that argyle is really observant and is simply pressing the buttons he learned on his own. he's obviously doing it right though. in i think the next paragraph but maybe the next couple paragraphs, their lips touch and steve almost kisses him but argyle is actually holding him in place which is contradictory to the whole "bet you can't" they've got going on between them. that's on purpose and for the same reason argyle is acting the way he is in this paragraph; he is trying to "c'mon i know you want to" into getting steve to make out with him lmao

also a little bit of hair-pulling foreshadowing? maybe? who knows 🤭

on this, the 11th birthday of fall out boy's esteemed fifth studio album save rock and roll, i just want to remind everyone of the one thing that never fails to Get Me about it.

there was a lot of scorn and derision about the title when it first got promoted, and fob was well aware this would happen. critics and caustic news outlets collectively scoffed about it, save rock and roll. like this four-piece from chicago, this dorky pop band, is gonna save rock and roll?

of course they missed the point, which is in the very god damn title. it's not a declarative statement. it's not a pronouncement of how we, fall out boy, saved rock and roll. it is a call to action. it is an earnest request for you, the listener, to participate in this act alongside them. it is an expression of desire to inspire creation in turn.

that's the ethos they've carried at the forefront of every creative endeavor they've undertaken since returning from hiatus. certainly that element was present before then, but save rock and roll marked the moment where they very deliberately centered that squarely in their narrative.

because fall out boy doesn't just want to save rock and roll. they want you to save rock and roll with them.

#fall out boy #save rock and roll #*making poasts #i didnt have time to draw anything for this (rip) even tho i did rly want to #im simply too busy alas #but this is the thing that still continuously gets me #and it resonates all the way through to 11 yrs later with pete saying at tourdust to make weird stuff #make weird stuff with your friends! make stuff! do whatever makes you feel alive! #thats the very same thing they were telling us 11 years ago and thats pretty neat!

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO.

my therapist really saved me….

#tw abuse // tw sa #i can’t sleep bc i keep thinking about this. #like i probably would’ve not been here if it weren’t for her #i started seeing her january of 2023… my life has changed entirely since then and she was definitely the one who got the ball rolling #literally so much has changed since then and it’s all because of her #i was so dissociated during our first few sessions #thanks to her i was able to get diagnosed and medicated for adhd. i was able to realize i was in an abusive situation and plan a way out #i was able to focus on myself and my healing and she’s helped me reframe so much of my negative thinking #i was able to process a lot of emotions and become a better version of myself with each session #she’s truly incredible. #i remember the first comment she made about the relationship had been ‘’so it’s like there’s an imbalance of control in the relationship’’ #i had put my partners on such a high pedestal that i had no idea they could be doing anything wrong #and i asked her what she meant and she said ‘from what you’ve been describing it’s sounds like a strict parents and child type of dynamic’ #she told me they didn’t need to understand why i wanted to leave and they didn’t need to make that decision. if that’s what was going to be #best for me the only thing i could do is let them know my reasoning and simply leave. i didn’t need their permission.’’ #i remember being so confused at that realization bc like… i had been putting their emotions over mine the whole time i had forgotten simply #doing what’s best for me was an option… l #ever since then i’ve been putting myself first and it’s been a steady uphill from rock bottom… i’ve made an incredible amount of progress #when i first started with her getting out of bed and walking to the kitchen was incredibly difficult and took all my strength. #yesterday i conquered a mountain!!!!!!! i hiked all the way to the top!!!!! :D #me a year ago thought it was going to take me years and years to recover. as soon as i left i made leaps of progress #im incredibly proud of myself and grateful for her. and my reiki lady she’s also been a great great help. #the silver lining is i realized who really matters. and the relationships i cared about deepened. #my sweet virgo friend was the one who was always like ‘THATS A GROWN ASS MAN WHO CANT UNDERSTAND BASIC CONSENT???’ #LMFAO i would be like ‘but he has trauma and bla bla bla’ she looked me dead in the eyes and said #’jess you said with your last boyfriend that you would never make excuses for a man who was hurting you again. stop defending him.’ #she’s really a gem and i treasure her with my life. i hope she knows i love her. she’s family at this point #she’s also literally saved my life before (like deadass called 911 for help) #im glad i had the support system i had. that was a rough situation with so many layers and im glad i got through it #my 22nd year of life was by far the worst of my life and i don’t ever want to put myself in that situation again. im glad i learned.

Did you see Zane Lowe and the Muse singer, forgot his name, RIP me, talking about Må pulling out of Reading & Leeds. Zane said you are choosing commerce over fans. Muse guy said he would have never done that cuz the things that are important are having authenticity, sticking to your commitments, sticking to your fans especially the real ones who will pay to come to see you and that should always come above some commercial activity. And Zane also said they would have been great there and now it's probably just 80.000 people asking who are they or going fuck them 💀

It's so sad cuz you can hear the disappointment but they still speak highly of them, Zane comparing it to how he misjudged Muse's Darkness album in the 90's and he wanted to do better by them 😭

I completely agree with them and it's sad to see respected people in & around the music industry be disappointed in them but they made their bed. I truly, truly 100% agree that they would have made R&L fest their bitch, they would've had an iconic set. They're just like that, they're amazing performers.

(They start discussing it at 44:30)

55, 69, 94, 95 for the unusual ask

Thank you so much for sending these!! I'm only getting to them now because I just fucking collapsed last night & then I did an ADHD and forgot about it 😬

55. what is your dream job?  Okay, boring answer, but I really don't know? I've had a few different ones over the years but I just don't fucking know anymore.

69: do you play an instrument? Yeah, I play electric guitar (badly but that's being worked on lmao) Have also dabbled with bass, acoustic guitar and piano/keyboard in the past.

94: favorite lyrics right now I weirdly struggled with this one. But I really dig these: God's face is hidden, turned away. He never has a word to say. - God Was Never On Your Side by Motörhead.

95: summer or winter?  Respectfully, fuck them both. Middle seasons are far more comfy to me. But I'll choose winter out of the two because being warm and sweaty sucks balls.

Sorry these took a minute, I still really appreciate you sending them my way 🤘

🦋🦈🎯💌 for the fanfic asks?

🦋 Which character is your favorite to write?

i have a lot of fun writing argyle! i think he's a character that is often seen and portrayed as very 2-dimensional. i like exploring the layers we're shown in the show and also going more into the hypothetical side of things with my own imagination. i only hope that he comes across as accurate when i write him!

🦈 Which character is the toughest to write?

i find jonathan to be kinda tricky. i find myself bored with the version of him that exists when i write him? i'm not bored by him as a character. i just don't think i'm good at doing him any justice, oops. rip to the stonathan wip that sounded great in my head but i just couldn't get jonny-boy's character right 😔

🎯 Do you have a writing milestone you’re working towards?

not particularly. i don't write with number goals in mind like x amount of words, x amount of kudos or subscribers or hits, done by x amount of time. sometimes for a particular project i'll have kind of a "soft goal" as far as word count goes, but not to the point that i'll go back and try to stretch it out if i fall short or anything. it's all vibes

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

YES, it's "the love is requited they're just both idiots"!!! i also really like writing mis-/lack of communication, idc if it's overdone. the pining potential there....chefs kiss

If Harry isn't intended to be autistic, the way he acts is like 300% more confusing.

#rae rants #this is about the ssum. #like. he doesn't seem to like eye contact. he doesn't like to be touched. he has special interests (marble and apparently lego). #he only eats very specific foods (carrots and almond milk mainly). he has a monotone voice. he haa social issues. #like. for reference i am... probably maybe dont quote me on this not autistic. (i dont wanna get diagnosed with anything for obvs reasons) #but i think 5/6 of my mutuals are. and hank and jay are autistic. so i see ppl talk abt autism a lot. #and like. the bedtime phone call on day 8 where he talks abt the texture of marble and then is like #'oh i thought everyone knew about how marble is formed' (i mean i know its an igneous rock but thats it) just made me go #'oh he's so autistic' out loud at 1:43am. #edit: also. if you say you like heavy metal (on the call he plays piano in) he says he can feel himself getting a headache. #which alone is nothing. but paired with the fact he says he doesnt like noise in that same phone call. that sounds like overstimulation. #and then he plays piano as a form of stimming similar to. for example. rolling a smooth piece of marble around in ur hand. #which he also does.
