the fact that people don't like Jason Grace PAINS me.
like you clearly just don't understand how complex his character is. of course he's not going to have the most interesting personality, his memory was wiped?? your personality is a compilation of all the things they've experienced and all the people you've met, if he forgets everything, how is he supposed to be really interesting?? and let's not forget that he was raised to be a soldier and a leader from 2 years old, giving him no chance to choose who he would be. the parts of Percy that we could recognise when he lost his memory, are the integral parts of who he is, such as being sarcastic, and loving annabeth - it's the same with jason. we see his need to do what's right whilst still following the rules, we see the almost artificial perfectness he's been conditioned into, we see his deep kindness and loyalty to those he loves, we see his trust in others through him believing what piper and Leo tell him despite having no memory of any of it.
we're told that he has self-confidence issues, and that he feels as though everyone thinks so highly of him and he struggles under the weight of that, he was abandoned by his mum, lost his sister, was raised a machine. he's just as complex as your favourites yet he gets so much hate.
he is such a tragic character and it hurts me that people don't understand how beautiful he is.
rewatching season one really makes me see how will's right, mike is the heart.
he's the one who insisted to look for will to hopper.
he's the one who convinced lucas, and dustin by proxy, to ignore the adults and look for will.
he is the one who brings up the fact that el is scared and hurt while lucas and dustin are yelling.
all these examples are within ep 1 and the first fourty seconds of episode two. mike was always the heart. he just lost his way after outside expectations. at the end of the day, he is the care and love and protection of the group.
of course mike is going to date el even if it doesn't make him happy. of course he's going to conform to ideals of the outside world. all he wants are for his friends to be happy, so he'll conform to the expectations of what the outside world says he should want, what his friends think he wants, what el wants. fuck, even what he thinks will wants, since the painting. he is the perfect victim for comphet, because it was never about him. it was always about his friends.
I desperately want to write a fic about how a beat down (and very good at compartmentalizing) Peter Parker only realizes that he is in fact a trans dude after the spider bite and going out in the suit
like, people coin him as Spider-Man (bc muscles and a sports-bra compressed chest make a certain silhouette) and it makes him stop and think
and then it's just like oooooooooh yep ok this was what I was ignoring for the last 2 decades
imagine trying and attempting to factory reset this one angel over and over and over again and he just won't budge. you think you've gotten the job done and then BAM he springs back like an overstretched rubber band. every. time. metaphorical noggin of steel that one. good on you, castiel. show off your exceptionally doomed and stubborn need to change the narrative.
About his ear injury against Osasuna: "it was 4 staples yes. Yeah the last one really hurt I shit myself (😭) but I didn't feel it much because I was still hot from the game"
How do you remember the moment they were healing you?
Gavi: "the truth is I was looking forward to getting back to the game and I don't even remember much" (you can literally see him complain about the game while the doctor is working on his ear 😭)
- That shows your commitment and your sacrifices
Gavi: well I always try to help the team in any way I can.
- What are you willing to do in a match for barça?
Gavi: well, unless I end up at the hospital... (Laughs)
