#i love the wholesome greek mythology ships too much

[tsibeyantiger]

I had the inconvenience to read a post where it said that percabeth was a bad ship because they don't seem to LIKE each other and I'm like??????????? How can anybody not get THAT? Like seriously, think about it for just a minute.

Imagine you are Annabeth. Your family pretty much abandoned you. Your newfound sister died so you could make it out alive. When you were just seven years old. It is hard for you to trust anyone because you keep on losing who matters to you. And you know about the prophecy and that you won't leave camp until the kid from the prophecy shows up (if Chiron hasn't said that, I'm sure Annabeth was able to connect the dots). The kid who's gonna die when he turns 16 to save Olympus OR destroy it. So you're NOT supposed to like him, even though you know your pathes will cross. You expect him to be a son of Zeus, which would be fine. You can be his deputy in battle, just as your mom is Zeus', and when he dies, it's gonna be "Farewell, my lord, it was an honour to fight under your command". Not very delightful, but you are used to worse.

Then Percy shows up. And he is a son of POSEIDON. Not at all what you expected, yet it's your destiny to interact somehow with him. What if he turns out evil? What if you're the one who HELPS him destroy Olympus? Okay, no, no, no, stop. You are NOT SUPPOSED to like him AT ALL. But- he is kinda charming. Not the arrogant, wrath filled rowdy you'd expect. A troublemaker, yes, but he's trying to be nice to everyone, always roots for the underdogs, doesn't care about your parents' rivalry and is incredibly skilled yet totally unaware of it. You go on the quest. You safe the world. And you realise he is kind and brave and just and will never turn evil. This is the hero who will die while defending Olympus. And you're the fool who couldn't avoid falling in love with him.

Fast forward. Percy keeps on doing annoyingly cute and noble stuff you wish you never saw because it makes you like him even more. The photo. Tyson (you don't like him, but it IS wholesome that Percy chose to be his friend when no one else was). The moment he gave Clarisse the fleece. Then you get kidnapped and he travels across the whole country to save you, even lifts the sky for you. And then he says he chooses the prophecy and you give up all hope (you've spend hours and hours thinking whether you'd want Thalia to die or Percy, and you feel so guilty for it). He doesn't even know the full meaning, but you are just sure he'd make the same choice if he knew it means death, all to protect a little boy he hardly knows.

And you're like: Fuck this. Too late to run from your feelings. You're already in love. Your heart's gonna be broken anyways. So, you decide to try your luck. If you're gonna miss him for a lifetime, it shall be worth it. And THEN, suddenly, Rachel shows up. Like, this is no average teenage love triangle drama bullshit. OF COURSE, Annabeth explodes like a volcano. Any of us would.

Meanwhile, Percy doesn't know shit and is just hella confused. He doesn't know the content of the prophecy, doesn't know much about Greek mythology and whenever he does, he doesn't care. He just gets the impression that Annabeth hates him, yet somehow seeks his company. Percy has close to zero confidence, due to him also being often abandoned and ending up as a failure and an outsider, so it's probably the second part that's harder to understand, but he tries to make the best of it. He is kind and patient, offers Annabeth his friendship and ultimately, she accepts. Not for a second he'd imagine she might be in love with him, Because This Is Not How People Behave. From his perspective, Annabeth tends to act like a bitch out of nowhere, sometimes she pushes him away, sometimes she wants him to come closer. He accepts this somehow, but of course he gets frustrated sometimes. Who wouldn't?

But still he never even thinks about going low contact. He never questions their friendship, he always wants Annabeth as close as possible. And people say they don't LIKE each other? Please!

#percy jackson #the conflicts they have root in the disequilibrium of what they know about the future #cuz when they meet Percy is like “only good things in my life are my mom and my best friend so if this girl hates me It's business as usual” #and Annabeth is like: “my only chance to be ever happy is my sworn enemy and doomed to die and still I'm somehow in love with him” #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #percabeth #annabeth chase #the lightning thief #sea of monsters #the titans curse #battle of the labyrinth #the last olympian

Do you have any Headcanon for bubba x crafycorn? I have PLENTY

OOOOOOOOOHHHH YESSSS!!!

MORE UNDERRATED SHIPS!!! You've got taste fam, you've got taste.

💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍

Can we all agree this ship deserves to be called Sketchbook? PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. P L E A S E.

We all thought of it. Nerd x art kid. WE ALL DID.

Honestly, the more you think about it, Bubba and Crafty would pretty much be always hanging out whenever there's anything involving active games. Although they would (kind of rarely) participate, Bubba has never been one to like sports. And Crafty is way too ashamed of messing up in front of the group. So you could think of them as some sort of backing each other up type of way, not like Kickin and Hoppy would, but the feeling is there.

THEIR DATE WOULD BE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS-

Bubba, although he is great with books, is pretty bad at anything involving drawing. He had never personally done it before, not even as a child, since he had never seen the point of putting so much effort on a piece of paper that would come and go. BUT. IF HE WERE TO BE THE ONE WHO HAD A CRUSH ON CRAFTYCORN FIRST- WELL, MY MAN GOT PRIORITIES.

They would help tutor each other ALL THE TIME. As in like- Crafty being Bubba's art teacher and Bubba being Crafty's history/math/science/etc teacher!

(BIGGER BODIES HEADCANON. NOT KIDS HERE. NUH UH.) You'll remember when in the game's cutouts Pickypiggy mentioned eating both Bubba and later on Craftycorn, right? And how in one of the cutouts Crafty is literally out for blood? WELL FOR THE SAKE OF THIS HEADCANON, IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW.

These two gotta be loving Greek mythology. As a person who loves it, it's the PERFECT combination between art and having a LOT of memory.

They listen to music together, and ironically, Bubba remembers the whole lyrics of her fav.

You'll know Crafty would, in any headcanon of ANY ship, draw her crush. The same would go for Bubba. BUT HERE'S THE TWIST. BUBBA, MY MAN, GOT A WHOLE PLAN BOARD IN HIS ROOM TO FIND OUT HOW TO TREAT HIS GAL. STICKY NOTES AND EVERYTHING.

Live laugh love Craftycorn girl failure.

Ngl, I don't see Craftycorn as much of a shy type of person as everyone treats her to be. She's low in speech, yes, but I'd imagine she'd be able to hang around everyone just as fine. But due to her soft spoken voice, people would always treat her like some sort of shy kid, which sometimes embarrasses her. But Bubba? On the contrary, he would treat her with equal respect and view point as the rest of the group, which eases her a lot.

Musicals? They love it. Documentareis? They love it. Science fiction? They LOVE it.

I'd imagine them having very subtle PDA, nothing too obvious, maybe holding (hands???) but the intention is there.

YALL WANNA HEAR AN AWSOME SCENERIO? HERE'S ONE FOR YOU: TODAY IS CRAFTYCORN'S BIRTHDAY AND DOES ALL THE DECORATIONS HERSELF, THE WHOLE CAKE, EVERYTHING. But EVERYONE forgot so that makes her sad- BUT. B U T. BUBBA IS THE ONLY ONE THAT REMEMEBR SO THEN WE GET WHOLESOME SHIT AND ARGHTRDJKBFGUSAYDTFUSGDFJKASGDGSBDJHDGFBJKSAGDFBAWYETFRAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...... ahem. My apologies.

💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍🎨📘📖💙🤍

I'm personally more of a Craftycorn x Bobby Bearhug shipper BUT THIS IS VERY GOOD TOO- I LOVE THESE KIND OF SHIPS

WHY ARE THEY SO UNDERRATED.

THEY SHOULDN'T BE UNDERRATED.

[a-singing-carebear]

Yes, I know I’m a bit late for the party but anyway-

It's that time of year again which means… my Spotify ships wrapped tradition is back!! This! This was the year of the ships, the year of love! So many shows, so many couples, but some triumphed above the rest (and just like last time – I'm bending the rules for a top 10):

I… I still can’t fucking believe S2 existed, AAAAHHH???

Yes, I've read Song of Achilles, yes I've read the Iliad, yes I've played Hades – Yes, they are so in love and I love them so much!!

After 4 months already, how are we holding up guys???

They were always a shippable ship that I liked, but this season? This fucking season?! Listen! Everything that happened I cried and screamed!

I've been playing too much Hades (yes… there isn't really a good fic)

I Love them I love them I love them – and they love each other so MUCH!

The first f\m ship ever in here – and they deserve it!!

How?? How is their relationship the most wholesome and healthy in all of HELL??? I LOVE THEM

I’m not crying (I had a ton of emotion about these two idiots to write before and right when I finish making the list THAT song fucking drops!!!)

I bought the ticket to venture with this ship SO fast!!

Honorable mentions: -Love Letters: Aeor is for lovers, and I love my stupid robots! -Ganymede & Zeus: I can in good conscience not mention them - writing a toxic fanfic about the two most of the year has earned them at least that (THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP. THIS IS BAD AND ABUSIVE)

*can you see Greek Mythology has retaken my life?

#ships #my ships #spotify wrapped #2023 wrapped #my edit #i may have gone too far #so so many canons #blackstede #patrochilles #ineffable husbands #bakudeku #thanmegzag #imodna #odypen #fizzmodeus #stolitz #limoreau

[persephoneflowerpetals]

You know that ask about Hades and ADHD. Makes you wonder if Zeus or his mother could learn about it realize that Hades matches the descrpitions and try to have him diagnosed because maybe he needs help.

Oh yeah! This one!

I think that’d be a very sweet and wholesome idea! I can totally see his mom doing that and I can also see Zeus doing that too, but at the same time Zeus can be kinda ignorant so maybe he would help him like their mother would lol.

But yeah, super cute!

Also, I was re-reading the Hades ADHD ask and I just realized that at the end of the ask the anon asked for my opinion on the series because they haven’t seen it yet and I’m not sure if this ask if from the same anon or not but I’m so sorry for forgetting to do that lol!

Anyways, my opinion of the series is that I LOVE IT!!! However, I will say, it drives me nuts that it’s not 100% canon to the movie and is basically a prequel AU, but I still love it! Also, I honestly feel like there was a lot of potential to have a Hades x Persephone side plot going on in the series and they totally robbed us of that! Though, they were originally gonna go with Persephone being caught in a custody battle between Hades and his ex-wife Demeter, but the writers thought that idea would hit a little too close to home for kids who actually are being put in the middle of custody battles with their divorced parents, so they just left Persephone out entirely which is just really sad. But yeah, instead of giving us Hades x Persephone they just had Hades pining after Aphrodite because she’s the goddess of beauty and love (even though she was engaged to Hephaestus in the series). Like…c’mon, Disney. You and the outline right there in the Comedy of Arrows episode and you didn’t do anything with it! Lol but enough about me obsessing over my OTP (and self ship lmao). The series really is awesome! There’s lots of funny jokes and references to a lot of different Greek mythology stories and people, however, just like the movie, a lot of them have a much different take or twist on the stories or characters. But seriously, you should give it a watch when you can (or if you haven’t already lol)! It’s really good!

[iwaoiamiright]

Thank you for answering my ask ....if you don't mind me asking (again), who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon)? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

hello!!! so sorry for such a late response I got on Tumblr after like a year

I usually don't watch much of romance (or shows including romance as a center or as a side plot) BUT here's some of my absolute favorite pairings

in no particular order:

Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (BBC Merlin. They're not canon but c'mon. COME ON)

Oikawa Tooru/Hajime Iwaizumi (Haikyuu! they're canon in Furudate and my heads)

other Haikyuu ships (I ship them but don't have brainrots like I do with iwaoi): kagehina, daisuga, asanoya, bokuaka, kuroken

wangxian (modaozushi. they're canon. husbands. wangxian married and have a son)

Rupert/Amir (The Two Princes Podcast on Spotify. they're canon. please check out this podcast it's so incredibly good and gay and funny and FREE and SO UNDERRATED)

klance (we all have shipped them)

simon snow/Baz pitch (Carry On Trilogy. Really loved them in the first book and are the only reason I continued with the trilogy although it just gets worse)

moonjo/jungwoo (strangers from hell. absolutely insane ship but it's inevitable if you watch the show and aren't homophobic)

Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens. They're basically married but I guess Mr Neil Gaiman was too much of a coward)

sarawat/tine (2gether the series. yeah the show is about them so canon obviously. very wholesome and silly boys love them.)

win/team (until we meet again. the whole show is so melodramatic and boring but these two . they're side characters but they gave me SUCH brain rot)

Patroclus/Achilles (The Iliad/Greek Mythology. these two. gays. homos. absolutely disgustingly in love)

I can't remember any other ship I've been incredibly obsessed with.

my other fave pairings include Disney couples that everyone love like Rapunzel and Flynn from Tangled, Teddy and Spencer from GLC, some others that had good plot.

I've never watched or read any GL but that's coz I haven't had good recs and I've never had wlw ships which is literally so preposterous like damn let the gals be gays.

That's all I can remember for now! thank you for your question and if u have any LGBT book/show rec do let me know!

have a great day/night!

For the character thing: Zero and Hector!

Zero:

favorite thing about them: his character arc in the Zero series and his cool attitude. His gameplay is also super fun too :D

least favorite thing about them: how he stole X's role as the protagonist in his own series. Good thing he eventually got his own series, but man, in games like X4 you'd almost forget the blue guy is there.

favorite line: "I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero… I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesitate… If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!"

brOTP: XZero, I love their close friendship <3

OTP: Zerociel. Very much like their development and how they make each other better :) and, yeah, XZero works romantically too, I just think their bond is wholesome no matter what.

nOTP: uhh I don't know? Does... Does Zero/Sigma exist? Don't answer it.

unpopular opinion: don't think I have one, I don't closely associate with the MM fandom lol.

song i associate with them: Falling Down, his most memorable moment of glory.

favorite picture of them

Hector:

favorite thing about them: his whole character arc of him learning to accept his own humanity and worth <3

least favorite thing about them: the implication that he fell in love with Julia because she looks a lot like Rosaly. Dude. That's a dick move >:( and it's not like the narrative is complex enough to explore the kind of trauma that would lead him to latch on people like that :\

favorite line: “Even if the world of man rejects me… Even if I were to not have a place to exist… Even if I were to be hated… Even so… I am human. I sought this power so that I could remain human! Not for anyone’s sake! For me!! For myself!! Not to be the pawn in some ridiculous plot for revenge!!”

brOTP: Helia! I want them to be friends :D

OTP: Hectaly my beloved ;A; they're so stinking cute and they have a warm chemistry and FUCK YOU ISAAC YOU JEALOUS SLUT. Also yeah I very much like Isaactor in that "they could have been something more, if life didn't doom them to grow apart" way.

nOTP: Lenector lol. Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Don't really have one in game, but I guess my least favorite ship with him is Aluctor (I just don't feel they'd have an interesting chemistry)

random headcanon: he names his Devils after mythological Greek figures, to honor his origins.

unpopular opinion: he's not just Angry Dude lol. Even more unpopular, N!Hector started out as a perfectly valid interpretation of pre-betrayal Hector, what with his very alien view of humankind, and if he only betrayed Dracula of his own instead of being used by Girlboss Vampire (with all that it lead to), I would have had far less problems with him.

song i associate with them: Awake by Ok Goodnight. In my opinion it perfectly fits Hector's growing sense of self worth and his escape from Castlevania. (the bridge is ofc the fight with Isaac)

favorite picture of them:

#zero megaman #hector castlevania

[theacepie-rate]

Dionysus: my wife, the beautiful love of my life, you shine more brightly than sun, I'm undone by your lovely self, more intoxicating than the strongest wine, can't believe you're mine

Ariadne: Did you go out drinking with Apollo again?

Dionysus: How did you know?

What Did I Watch: #4

Right, first of all, I didn't prolong my netflix subscription because even thought netflix's library is quite impressive and filled with many interesting stuffs from around the world, it just couldn't grab my attention. I'm not a movie buff like I'm used to and honestly, I'm too lazy to adding my watchlist.

Next, aaaahhhh.... these days I felt like wanting to watch some angsty romance. And it started with my sister's rambling about Love and Redemption. She's into Cheng Yi nowadays and I couldn't help myself not to stanning him. He's gorgeous, or maybe I'm just too absorbed with his performance as Sifeng.

Enough about him though, hahaha, I'm gonna talk about him more later.

So, in another different topic, you came here, want to know what did I watch in the past weeks. So here we go. As per usual starting with the completed ones.

1. Go Go Squid

Finally finished it. Finally get the hype, one year late. It's okay. They're cute. But for me, the ongoing friendship between Li Xian and Yang Zi even after they ended the filming is wholesome. Maybe it got all the tropes, the cliches, and I don't find myself the urge to recommend this to other people, yet I love it. I love how it managed not going over-the-top, easy-watch despite many foreign terms being thrown out, and cute. Like I said, they're cute and lovable. And sometimes in life, you need lovable things to keep going.

Kinda wish these 2 meet again in Republican drama with plot twists and angsty plot. (Yep, I love torture my ship)

2. Perfect and Casual

I just finished it yesterday. It's so easy to watch. It doesn't have any substances or life lessons. Except, it's okay to falling in love with your lecturer if he's Miles Wei, which is impossible. Hahahaha.

The soundtrack is good though. Kinda have that feeling early 20's Indonesian pop songs. But currently not available in Spotify Indonesia. Booo...

Now what I'm watching are....

1. The Blooms At Ruyi Pavilion Ep 5

Zhang Zhehan is national's treasure. Ju Jingyi is annoyingly beautiful. The story is simple but there are so much more to be seen. The action sequence is laughable. But I didn't come for the thrill-of-it-all. I came for my husband, Zhang Zhehan. Hahahaha.

2. Love and Redemption Ep 17

I didn't dare continue to watching it. It's good, and maybe it felt like too grand for my taste. It kinda reminds me of Star Wars and a little bit Greek mythology. But, Sifeng is just too pure for this world and I couldn't handle how poorly other characters treated him. Maybe I'm going to make an essay after finishing all 59 episodes, then drowning in despair because no more new episodes. Or maybe both of them, Cheng Yi and Yuan Bingyan are star-crossed lovers who destined to meet once in a lifetime. Maybe I'm the one who felt really terrible not be able to do anything. Love will find its way, afterall.

3. Watashitachi Wa Douka Shiteiru Ep 5

It's one of those days, you find a gem. You find a gem that it's so good, and you just want to keep it to yourself. Cherish it, preserve it. The story lies on tho ugliness of the people who watching it, I guess. Too soapy sometimes, and I need to take a break, just to breathe and remind myself. Thank god, I didn't met these people.

Ryusei Yokohama and cat???? Give me a break!!!!

Midsummers (JJ Imagine - Part One)

Author: sguymon21

Summary: After JJ and you break up, it takes a lot to heal. Nothing seems to be working, so when Rafe invited you to Midsummers, it seems like just the distraction you needed. However, everything he does reminds you of JJ. 

Warnings: None?

_____________________________________________

I’ve never been invited to Midsummers before. I was always this Pogue who never stood a chance of fitting in with the Kooks. I was in a bikini more than actual clothes and I preferred surfing over golfing any day. Maybe that’s why I caught JJ Maybanks attention for a minute. Maybe that’s why he liked more for a moment.

The days spent with JJ were the best days of my life. He was crazy and spontaneous and affectionate. I had never experienced attention before him, maybe that’s why I fell in love so quickly. He was a wildcard, but nothing he did was ever wrong in my eyes. However, everything I did was wrong in his. What I didn’t mention about JJ was that he was extremely particular. Everything had to fall into line perfectly and he got mad when it didn’t. Sometimes I felt like he needed things so perfectly, that I would never be good enough. Maybe I was right.

A week before midsummers, JJ and I were at the beach. We both knew we didn’t stand a chance of going. I laughed at the thought of JJ in a suit. He didn’t laugh with me. The whole day he was acting strange. He was quiet. JJ Maybank was never quiet. Maybe I was nervous because I knew what was going to happen. I knew in the back of my mind that he didn’t think I was the one. He didn’t think he could love me. When he told me he needed to break up, I didn’t hurt. I was used to one sided love. It was present in every aspect of my life; my parents, my siblings, my friends. Everything was one sided.

Over that week, I tried to figure out what I did wrong. I spent my time surfing and working. I was serving drinks at the country club one day when I heard a certain group snickering. Rafe Cameron and his group of losers gathered near a pool table and laughed. I walked next to them and grabbed their empty glasses. 

“Hey y/l/n,” Rafe yelled as you began to walk away. “Heard you and JJ broke up. Good riddance right?”

I rolled my eyes and walked towards the bar. I could feel my annoyance level raising within me. He followed me over to the bar and took a seat across from me.

“Why don’t you get me a drink?” he asked.

“You’re not old enough to drink and I’m not old enough to serve,” I said. I set my tray of empty glasses down on the counter and turned to walk away from him. I felt him snag my wrist and pull me towards him. I lost my footing for a second and stumbled right into his chest. He had a strong grip on my arm as he stared down at me.

“This might work,” he said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. “How would you like to be my date for midsummers?”

I laughed. I didn’t mean to laugh that hard, but Rafe Cameron had just asked me, a pogue, to midsummers. He smirked down at me.

“I’m not kidding,” he simply said. “We can go dress shopping tomorrow. Do you work?”

I shook my head no as I stared confusingly at him. He traced his thumb over my lower lip like JJ used to do and I felt my heart sink a little bit. I pushed his arm off of me and walked out of the clubhouse quickly as memories flooded my mind.

I always surfed here. There was a good sandbar, great ways, and very little people. Only the locals knew this spot and none of them ever came here. The sun was on it’s way down and I smiled at the thought of Apollo riding his chariot, bringing the sun with him. What an interesting mythology the Greeks had. I sat on my board in the middle of the ocean as the waves rocked me. A storm was picking up and the waves were getting higher and higher, I just had to wait for the right one. Just as I thought I had it, a blonde boy paddled up next to me.

“This one’s mine, kay?” he said and took off, racing the wave. I sat there jaw agape as I watched him take the wave. Who did he think he was? I took the next big one and met him on shore.

“That was my wave,” I said. “I was waiting.”

He turned around to face me. I had seen him before, there wasn’t a pogue who didn’t know who he was. He chuckled and apologized insincerely. I rolled my eyes and muttered works of annoyance under my breath. I was ready to call it quits after that wave. He grabbed my wrist as I turned to walk towards where I parked my car. I stumbled into him clumsily when he pulled on me.

“What’s your name?” he asked. I looked up at his blue eyes.

“Y/n,” I said. He looked at me. His eyes were mesmerizing. I could feel myself being drawn in by them.

“It suits you,” he said, dragging his thumb over my bottom lip. “I hope I see you again, y/n.”

Rafe followed me outside and cut off my escape. He had his usual smirk on his face, but it seemed softer than usual. He looked at me with comfort and ease. He wasn’t intimidated by me and he wasn’t fearful of my pogue germs. He just looked at me almost as if we were equals. In a moment of weakness, he stuck me like a venomous snake.

“Pick you up at 3?” he asked, almost seeming charming for a moment.

“Don’t be late,” I said and walked quickly away.

That night I went over to Kie’s house, feeling guilty. She was the only who knows how much JJ breaking up with me actually killed me. I wasn’t a very emotionally expressive person, but a few days after our breakup, I broke down. I don’t cry often and I especially don’t cry in front of others, but Kie witnessed it all. I sat in her room on the floor and listened to her talk about the Pogues. She told me they missed me and wanted me back. She told me JJ’s been weird since we broke up, but I didn’t want to hear it.

“I’m going to midsummers,” I said quietly.

“What?” she asked. She smiled at the idea of me being there, but she didn’t understand why I was saying. “How? You’d have to be asked by a kook and…”

“Exactly,” I said. Her sentence drifting off like that means she caught on. She stared at me with a confused look. “Rafe Cameron asked me.”

“Y’n!” she yelled in shock. “You’re going to Midsummer’s with Rafe Cameron?”

“Yeah,” I said quietly. There was no emotion in my voice. I stared ahead with a black face. “He approached me at work. He ran his thumb over my bottom lip. He reminded me of JJ.”

“Y/n…” Kie said.

“Kie, he’s not coming back,” I said, finally I could feel tears in my eyes. I blinked them away and swallowed hard, clenching my fists while I did it. “Maybe it’s time I move on.”

I didn’t stay long after I told her. I went home, but when I got there I could leave my car. I hated it here. I was the middle of five kids. No one cared when I came or when I went. My dad was a workaholic and my mom was an alcoholic. I was the child they didn’t remember. I forced myself to go in and fell on the couch. I didn’t really have a room here anymore, so this was the best spot I could be.

When the morning light filtered through the blinds, I groaned. It was too early for me to want to get up. I forced myself though and went to the kitchen, grabbing myself some breakfast. I cracked opened a few eyes and threw them in a pan.

“Nice of you to come home,” my dad said. “We knew you’d get hungry.”

“That’s not why I’m home, dad,” I said. He just sighed and walked out the door. I pretended that didn’t hurt. I finished my breakfast and walked into my old room. My clothes were still in the closet, even though it was now my youngest sisters room. I grabbed something cute and changed in the bathroom quickly. I couldn’t remember the last time I wore this shirt. I couldn’t remember the last time I put on makeup or did my hair. Here I was though.

I left my house early. I didn’t want to be there when my mom woke up. I walked around town, trying to think of something to take my mind off of everything. It was probably no later than 10am when I finally felt bored. I parked by The Wreck and got out. I thought I would come back and eat some lunch before I met Rafe, but he would find me before I got that chance.

I was walking around carelessly when I heard a bike come up behind me. It stopped next to me and Rafe off his helmet. I watched him smile for what seemed like the first time. He always a smirk, but today his smile seemed wholesome.

“You’re up early,” he said. “Want to get a head start on shopping? Let’s go catch the ferry.”

He tossed his helmet to me and I smiled. This wasn’t my first time on a bike. I put the helmet on and hopped on the back. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and leaned against him. Memories of JJ came rushing back as we took off.

I was scared. I had never been on a motorcycle before. I stared at him with a nervous smile. He got off the bike and walked over to me. He cupped my face in his hands and stared into my soul. I could feel him brush his thumbs over my cheeks affectionately. He kissed my forehead and the biggest smile spread across my face. He made me so happy.

“There’s no reason to be scared,” he said. I placed my hand over one of his that cupped my face. I closed my eyes and nodded. He got onto the bike and held the helmet out to me. I slipped it on my head before hopping on the bike beside him. I wrapped my arms around him and leaned against his back. The adrenaline filled me as we took off, but love was the only thing that I felt that day.

We got to the ferry and Rafe helped me off the bike. I wondered to myself what I was doing, but this was a great distraction from everything. We boarded the ship and he put his arm around me as we sat down. I moved uncomfortably away and looked at him.

“There’s one thing I don’t get,” I said. “Why did you ask a pogue to Midsummers? You hate pogues.”

“I couldn’t take my eyes off you,” he said. “Maybe it’s time I rebelled.”

“You rebel all the time,” I muttered.

“Yet, I’m still invisible to my dad,” he said. My head snapped towards him. This was the first real thing Rafe had ever said to me. It almost made me understand him a little more. I smiled at him and he looked back at me. We were silent the rest of the boat ride over.

[my-name-is-apollo]

Okay! I finished reading the tyrants tomb and over all! I liked it a lot! Of course there are inconsistencies, some mistakes on Rick's side, and of course things that I didn't like because I'm a mythology fan, but whatever, the story kept me going and I finished the whole book in a day (which I usually don't). So! Here are my thoughts, in no particular order:

- My queen Reyna was SLAYING! Literally y'all! I've never loved her more!

- All ships please step aside, the only true ship we need is Apollo x Arrow of Dodona

- seriously though can we appreciate how encouraging the arrow was?

- ugh Ugly Sobbing at Jason's funeral! UGH!!

- again. JAASOOOONNNN!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

- Oh god Apollo go ahead and adopt Frank already!

- When Frank said he can't imagine a world without Apollo in it! My heart made a somersault and exploded into dust!

- I mean lets be honest, literally all the Apollo Frank interactions were good & wholesome

- LAVINIA! I love her! aksjekwkw! Lesbian! Yes!

- Meg and Apollo! MEG AND APOLLO! Meg saying she doesn't wanna lose Apollo too! Apollo saying she was like his own lil sister! 😭 I can't! So pure!

- When Apollo said "Come here...please" had Meg fell into his arms 😍😭💕💞💖💓💕💓

- OH ARTEMIS FINALLY FUCKIN CAME! But why you leave arty, not fair :/

- Apollo saying his favorite physician is Asclepius! You can really feel the love and pride he has for his son!

- Grandpa Apollo 😂

- Chiron, I want your playlist rn-

- I was irritated with Venus. Is it just me or the way she humiliated Apollo in front of everyone even though he'd done nothing was suuuper annoying? (I mean maybe she meant good, but still, ugh)

- Why DID DAKOTA DIE??? 😭 he was my favorite minor character!!

- I was sad to see Peaches weak! He gets better, hopefully!

- I'm really glad Apollo said that even as a god he didn't like issuing prophecies he didn't even want to hear for the sake humans. It really gives insight on why Apollo neglected oracles in the first place. Boi was just! so! tired!

- yo Apollo's monologue about his love life had me fucked up, I was so sad when he asked himself if he had ever kept his loved ones safe.

- coming to know about Apollo's past problematic actions had me like, yeeeah boooiii, here we goooo

- Oooohhh Apollo being called out for what he did to Koronis 👀 that was some good shit. But I hope that, while remembering what a dick Apollo had been to her, the fandom will also remember that Artemis was also fucked up in this case.

- (also I don't think Apollo knew Koronis was pregnant? still, definitely shouldn't have gone that far)

- I didn't like how Apollo called it a "curse" on the sibyl. It wasn't. She asked for immortality and he gave her. When she refused him, Apollo didn't curse her, he just pointed out how she'd grew old as usual like a human, and hence suffer from old age. (But yeah his well intentioned gift itself became a curse to her so-)

- Idk why Harpocrates was ever connected to Apollo, it made no much sense from mythological point, but whatever.

- Apollo being a bully seemed odd to me but then I remembered the gods bullied each other all the time (Apollo even mentioned that they were ready to kill each other)

- Harpocrates x sibyl though?? Idk I laughed way too hard but the way they ended was really beautiful

- WHEN REYNA LAUGHED! Omg I was experiencing second hand embarrassment for Lester but gosh I'm so glad it turned out the way it did. I really liked that scene!

- I don't know how to feel about Reyna joining the hunters, but I'm not complaining.

- I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I FOUND OUT FRANK IN FACT ALIVE AKSJEKSJJSSJ my baby boy! He is alright after all!

- The whole healing Reyna's heart kinda fell flat to me... I mean it was good, but I guess I had higher expectations (not ApolloxReyna, ofc, but like,,,,something else,,,idk what)

- Apollo still thirsting over Commodus *sigh* boy get your head back 😂

- Ella and Tyson are so precious please treasure them y'all

- omg Apollo fuckin KILLED Commodus with his voice!!!! Omfg-

- APOLLO GOT HIS BOW BACK!

- Terminus adopted Julia!!!

- DON! 😭 why???!!!

- I totally agree with Apollo on Jason's death being so fuckin unfair! 😭 Especially when Leo and Frank could escape from theirs!!

- Hazel was SO BADASS I can't even-

- Thalia was so mature in handling the situation. Lmao Apollo haters wanted her to tear him down but guess what losers? she's not a kid like y'all

- hey how the fuck was Lester even awake till the end? With that zombie wound, the car crash, his stamina gone, and burnt wounds? Not to mention the times he straight up stumbled into a tree or fell down.

- it's sooooo strange that Apollo doesn't have Roman kids. On the whole, it seems like Apollo doesn't do well in Roman pantheon, even his sister is distant from him there. Since he is the same in Greek and Roman form, I think he actually witnessed all the time how much the gods change, even the ones close to him (Artemis). It's like, he is constant while everyone else is changing. That's kinda sad. I wonder if the Roman side of his family gives him a harder time?

- I know I was big on "no romance for mc in this series" but you know, I'd like to see Apollo being happy in love for once. At least at the end of series. Ugh. Idk Rick, bring Hyacinthus back to life or give us Litpollo or smth please. (I'm p sure I'll change my mind about this later lmao)

________

'kay, from here I'll be speaking outside the series, so if you don't wanna read a mythology nerd ranting about how badly Rick Riordan needs to have a mythology lesson on Apollo, skip this part! (I completely acknowledge RR's right to interpret the gods as he wants, but I'm still bitter™)

- I really dislike the way Rick writes Apollo! He's the god of knowledge ffs! He'd know a lot of things! He is Lord of wolves! He should know the language of wolves! Like it's so fuckin ridiculous when he says I'm the god of prophecy doesn't mean I understand all prophecies. Though you can give the excuse of his limited mortal memory, it still seems like Apollo's smarter side is being downplayed a lot by RR.

- He's also one of the bravest gods, so when Rick writes him being scared / having memories when he was scared even as a god is 😒

- The whole "oh I never regretted this until now", "I never thought of this until now" seems very exaggerated and honestly, very fake. Apollo has lived for so many years. He has been human before. He spends a lot of time on earth to not know certain things he didn't know in this book (and series). He is one the friendlier gods, you'll find so many cases where he helps mortals in need. He is the protector of children and youth too! So like this entire "I came 10 years after a mortal prayed to me", "I didn't think demigod lives actually valued", "I didn't know humans felt like this" sounded like F grade bullshit to me. It is gods like Apollo, Hermes and Dionysus who would actually know mortals better than any other gods.

- just basically the trend of Rick Riordan writing off gods as ignorant being who never cared for anyone irks me a lot.

Memories

Note: Tj and Cyrus are both around 19 or 20. Cyrus is studying archeology and Tj is studying greek mythology.

Dedications: @wholesome-multifandom for this beautiful prompt. @thinkinaboutambris for being the best tumblr parent I could ask for. @tjskipping for making me laugh and smile all the time.

After high school Tj and Cyrus both went to UCLA. As fate would have it their dorms were at opposite ends of the campus. Everyday they saw each other less and less. The only time they had together was during the weekend but, all Tj wanted to do was party with his teammates. And one night while Cyrus was asleep, a very drunk Tj did the unthinkable.

He cheated...On his math test. Tj's dyscalculia was still very prominent and the only reason Tj managed to get into UCLA was because Cyrus always spent the night helping him study before tests. Tj had just broken one of Cyrus' biggest rules by buying a copy of the test from the TA. Cyrus had a very strong disliking for cheaters but, he couldn't get that mad at Tj. Right?

The next morning Cyrus was called to the dean's office. The dean explained that Tj was caught with a copy of the math test, a math test worth half of Tj's grade. And when asked if he knew anything, he panicked.

"I bought it for Tj!" he blurted out

Those 5 words caused Cyrus to get a month suspension. That month put a huge dent on Cyrus' once perfect transcripts. His parent almost disowned him so, he had to stay at Bex and Bowie's. That night he and Tj met up to talk.

"hey, babe" Tj said trying his best to act innocent.

"YOU TRIED TO CHEAT?!?"

"listen, Cy I'm sorry"

"NO YOU LISTEN TJ! I TOOK THE BLAME FOR RYOU NOW MY PARENTS HATE ME AND YOUR FOOLISHNESS MIGHT'VE JUST COST ME MY WHOLE CAREER!!" Cyrus snapped

"WELL I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO TAKE THE BLAME." Tj yelled

"WELL AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE TO  CHEAT ON MY MATH TEST"

"OH, SCREW YOU CYRUS!!!!" 

"NO, SCREW YOU, AND GUESS WHAT?!? WE'RE THROUGH" Cyrus said slaming the door to Tj's dorm so hard it almost fell off.

Cyrus left before Tj had the chance to talk to him. As he was unpacking he foung one of Tj's old sweaters, the one he had given Cyrus on there first date. Cyrus remebered how at the end of the night his jaw hurt from smiling so much. He remebers sharing a milkshake with Tj at the Spoon. He remembers stargazing at the park.

Then he found the gift Tj got him for their 3-month anniversary. A small rainbow colored stuffed bear with the words 'love,Tj' embroidered on the right paw. He found a polaroid picture of them at theirst pride parade. They both had huge smiles on their face as a pride flag was wrapped around them.

Back in Cali, Tj was getting ready to ship all of Cyrus' stuff back to Shady Side. He grabbed the memory box he made which was filled with little trinkets. He found the copy of a play Cyrus had written about them. He found tickets to their 9th grade winter formal, where they said their first I love you's. He found a small statue of Iris that Cyrus gave him for their 5-month anniversary.

By the time both boys had packed up eachothers things they were in tears. They had just lost the person they loved most. That night they cried themselves to sleep. They wanted to call eachother but, neither one of them had enough courage to pick up the phone.

For 3 weeks they were both down in the dumps until Bex and Bowie gave Cyrus a pep talk which led to him calling Tj.

"hey" Tj said just above a whisper

"um, hey"

"I'm sorry" they blurted out at the same time. 

"I overreacted" Cyrus said softly

"no, it's my fault. I wasn't thinking" Tj replied.

"I come back soon, can we talk more then?"

"sure. I love you"

"I love you too, Tj"

For the next week they were both extremely nervous. Cyrus tried to prepare a speech but, failed miserably. Tj wanted to fet a gift for Cyrus but, nothing was good enough. When they finally met up, the words just came out.

"I'm sorry I overreacted. I should've tried to help you instead of freaking out."

"No, I should've never bought that stupid test. I should've been with you instead of at that party.

"it's my fault but, I forgive you" Cyrus said, pulling Tj in for a hug.

"I forgive you too"

Hello from your secret Santa!! 🥰✨ I have a few questions to start off so I can get a better idea of who you are and what you like!

- Fav ACOTAR book?

- fav ship?

- sun or moon?

- whats your café order?

- what’s your fav classic book?

- go out dancing or cozy night at home?

- fav trash tv show?

- Dream vacation?

- you wake up in Prythian, which court did you land yourself in?

- are there any fav tropes you have?

Love, your SS ✨❤️✨

Oh, this is so exciting! Hey Secret Santa! 💕

Favorite ACOTAR book? I loved ACOMAF because it was so emotional. Like I was just squealing every other page at Rhys and Feyre but also because we get to meet the IC for the first time. And I LOVE them so much in that book. I like ACOWAR 'cause we see more Helion and I love that man. He's hilarious. And of course, I love ACOSF because I loved seeing Nesta's journey with herself and her Valkyries. <3 LOLOL this got long. Long story short, ACOMAF but like 2nd time around because you know ALLLL the tea!

Fav ship? I know it's not confirmed but I love the idea of Gwynriel. If we're talking about confirmed couples, I really like Nessian. I just loved that Cassian didn't push and he allowed Nesta to heal at her own pace. He was there when she needed him. I just love the support. Not to say that Rhys didn't do that, because I love Rhys and Feyre too! I just don't agree with Rhys on some things but that's a whole different discussion. 😂

Sun or moon? I enjoy the sun, I guess because I love orange-like shades because they are bright and I'm a positive person just always looking at the bright side. BUT I love the moon. I love the night time because I love stargazing. But I do love a good picnic with a good book. I'm not sure what the intent behind this question was so hopefully my non-answer was helpful? 😂

Cafe order? I don't drink coffee but I love a good cup of juice or hot cocoa.

Fav classic book? Don't hate me but I don't enjoy classic books that schools make you read. 😂 I just can't find the will to read them. But I do enjoy a good retelling.... *points at all of SJM's books*

Dancing or a night at home? This really depends on who I'm with. I love going out dancing with my girls because we don't stop dancing until the bar/club closes. We dance until our bodies can't. I think it has something to do with my Hispanic heritage. lmao. But I do enjoy staying home. Just this week, it was my birthday and my friends asked me if I wanted to go out... I said I wanted to go to the museum. So, I'm a bit of both.

Fav trash tv show? I don't actually enjoy trash TV. I love watching wholesome shows or something moving/emotional. Why? Idk but I just gravitate toward it. 😂 I don't watch a lot of TV. But I do read and write!

Dream Vacation? Literally, anywhere outside of the US. I live in the US and I want to travel SOOOOOO BAD. I had this whole trip planned and paid for Europe prior to the pandemic and the month BEFORE my trip... boom. COVID. Still mad about it.

You wake up in Prythian, which court did you land yourself in? OMG. I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERYDAY. 💕 I have a Fanfic in my head about where I'd be. I always settle on Day, Night, and Winter. Day just gives me greek mythology vibes and I'm a sucker for greek mythology. It's the outfits. The endless knowledge. Night because I love the city of Velaris and the IC. But also because I think I'd enjoy being in the Library with the other priestesses. I think it would be a great place to heal emotionally. I'd also love to train to be a Valkyrie and become an empowered female character. And Winter, because I love Christmas... and I'd love to be able to ice skate one day like a figure skater. It's just so lovely and regal. I'm obsessed.

Are there any fav tropes you have? Right off the bat (no pun intended LOL), the concept of mates. I'm a SUCKER. Especially when it works so well as it has in the ACOTAR series. I just <3 Also, the tough guy who turns into squish with their significant other. *points at Druig and Makkari and countless other ships* 💕

If my answers were too vague or too non-answers, feel free to pop in another message!
