Alex: No one can hurt you if you detach yourself from everything and avoid becoming emotionally invested in anyone.
Magnus, approaching: Hi
Alex, sweating: shit.

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?
(Mod note: Hey look it's the randomizer hating me again. Tiesweep? Please?)
Propaganda for Avatrice: "Beatrice is a badass ass-kicking nun, very lethal, very gay. Ava is a super-powered ray of sunshine, also very lethal, very small. They have shared trauma ofc, but support each other and kick serious ass together defeating demons and internalized homophobia💪🏼💪🏼"
Propaganda for Fierrochase: "Shout out to the time Magnus defeated Loki with the power of friendship and also confessing his love to Alex"

Y'know, as cool as the Norse afterlife is, Alex and Magnus becoming homeless as minors and getting killed at the ripe age of 16 (STILL KIDS) and seeing how their death didn't really have much impact on the world... That's some fucked up sobering shit.
I saw a post about how Alex's story is of a trans youth's life getting better but, like, she didn't get better? She died. Her life is one of many tragedies that happen every day of an unhoused queer kid or unhoused kid of color dying in the street. Oh sure, after she died and got superhuman strength, a home, a purpose, friends, her after-life got better. But her actual life was a tragedy. She was beat up and abused for just existing until she died. Her friend committed suicide. She was only trying so hard to stay alive so she wouldn't wind up as a statistic for trans youth, but wound up doing exactly that. Hers has gotta be the most tragic backstory Rick has ever given an original character.
Anyway, I wish the Magnus Chase trilogy was as popular as Percy Jackson because it manages to talk about some Real Shit without getting too angsty or overwhelming.

so, tell me why just now after finishing magnus chase like 4 days ago. Did i come to the realization that the reason why annabeth sounded like she had been crying when magnus calls her is because of the possibility she received the news that jason had passed away? It completely slipped my mind that he had died

i'd want a mcga tv show to be animated for many reasons and i am not ashamed to say that the idea of billy porter voicing blitzen is one of them

Just imagine Hearthstone, Blitzen and Magnus walking into a Karen. Hearth constantly insults her in ASL and Blitz and Maggie can't agree on a polite fake-translation.
Hearth: *dropping insults like a sailor*
Karen: What is he saying?
Blitz: He says, he likes your haircut!
Magnus, at the same time: He asks where you bought these beautiful sunglasses.
Blitz: *sweating* The signs for these sentences are very similar!

This was supposed to be a few sentences.
Sometimes I really wish that Percy Jackson and co could have just sworn to get out their anger.
Like, imagine Percy Jackson learning about yet another life risking quest to save the world from Chiron then he just calmly walks outside into Camp Half-Blood, where there are demigods just casually going about their day.
He takes a deep calming breath, and just yells: "Son of a BITCH-"
Like, that is so much more satisfying then "Gods damnit" or whatever.
*SPOILERS AHEAD FOR: 'MAGNUS CHASE AND THE SHIP OF THE DEAD'*
Same with Magnus Chase! I'm grabbing the book so I can quote this shit properly-
Dude is going up against Loki in an insult battle (AKA a flyting), and he's getting his dignity snatched from him.
Quote: 'That's something you should understand, you dysfunctional little human. [...] You are just like your real family. As weak and love-besotted at Frey, as desperate and spineless as old Uncle Randolph. And as stupidly optimistic and as dead as your mother. [...] You're a mess! [...] Stop lying to yourself, Magnus. You're nobody. You're a mistake, one of Frey's many bastards.' - Loki Laufeyson, pgs 364-365
Like. This is just brutal.
Of course, Magnus warmed our hearts with comradery and all that, but it would have been so much better (funnier at least) if he had gone:
'LISTEN HERE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT-'
Just me?? I think that it would be so much better.

Little Monster
Pairing: CG!Magnus/Little!Alex
Warnings: Sensory overload; Impure regression; blood; anxious SH
Summary: Alex gets sensory overload at a Halloween party and regresses. Magnus takes care of him and they just have some fluffy fall fun
~~~
Alex was sitting on the couch in Magnus' suite feeling little. Not completely regressed, but definitely slipping, which was pretty inconvenient considering it was Halloween, and he was going to a party in half an hour.
"Hey Alex!" Magnus called from the bathroom of his suite. "Check it out!" He emerged from the bathroom wearing a Hotel Valhalla T-Shirt, jeans, and a tie.
"What are you?" Alex asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I was hoping you'd help me do my zombie makeup. Then, I'll be tie-die! Get it? Because of the tie? And because I'm dead?”
Alex giggled, something he only did when he regressed. Realizing his mistake, pressed his hand over his mouth. Magnus paused, a small grin playing on his lips. 
"Was that a giggle?"
"No." Alex deadpanned.
"It sounded like a giggle." Magnus said, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Magnus, drop it."
"Well, you only giggle when-"
"Drop. It."
Magnus put his hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay, I'm dropping it. But Alex, if you-"
"Your costume is stupid. I like it. Now come here so I can do your makeup." Alex cut him off. Magnus looked unconvinced, but let it go and joined Alex on the couch. 
The party was on floor 17. It was only one of many in Hotel Valhalla that night, but it was the one closest to floor 19. TJ walked there with Alex and Magnus, and Mallory and Halfborn said they'd catch up later. The more they walked, the more anxious Alex became trying to suppress his littlespace.
"Is Sam not coming?" TJ asked as they made their way down the stairs.
"She doesn’t celebrate Halloween, and I think she also has some family thing. What was it Alex? Like a dinner or something?" Magnus nudged Alex, who was staring vacantly forward and scratching nervously at his arm.
"Hm? Oh yeah, she's got a family thing I think. A dinner or something." Alex replied absentmindedly. 
Magnus frowned. "Are you okay?"
"What? Yeah I'm fine. Why?"
"You seem kind of... off."
Alex snorted. "What’s that supposed to mean?" He tried to walk faster, but Magnus grabbed his wrist.
"TJ, give us a moment?"
TJ nodded. "Yeah, I'll meet you guys there." He walked away and Alex glared at Magnus.
"That wasn't necessary." 
"Alex, we don't have to go to the party if you're not feeling up to it."
"I told you, I'm fine." 
Magnus didn't let go of his wrist. "You were scratching your arm."
"I have a spider bite." He yanked his arm away from Magnus. "Come on, let's just go."
Magnus could tell Alex was holding something back, but he didn't pressure him. They kept walking in silence until they got to the door of the suite where the party was, and Magnus made a final attempt to get through to Alex.
"Baby, are you sure?" He asked softly.
Alex almost slipped right then, but bit hard on his inner cheek and forced a smile. "Yep." He managed. Before Magnus could add anything else, Alex opened the door and dragged them both into the suite. 
The party was loud, and there were people everywhere. Neon lights flashed on and off and cheesy pop reverberated off the walls. Magnus said something, but Alex couldn't hear it. There was too much happening, too many people, too many sounds. He scratched harder at his arm and turned to Magnus, who was... gone. That was the final straw for Alex. He slipped. Tears pooled in his eyes as he looked around frantically for Magnus. He didn't realize he had been walking backwards until his back hit a wall and he slid down it, rocking back and forth on the ground. His arm burned, but he kept scratching it in a desperate but fruitless attempt to distract himself from the overwhelming anxiety that seized him.
"Alex? Are you- are you crying?" Mallory's voice sounded miles away. "Oh gods, your arm. Hang on, just stay put." Alex hardly noticed her. He couldn't breathe. A tiny voice in the back of his mind told him to do something, to shape shift and get out of there, but the thought was drowned out by his panic. 
"Oh my gods, Alex!" Magnus pushed through the crowd of people, led by an uncharacteristically concerned Mallory. He knelt in front of Alex, who immediately latched onto him. “Come on buddy, let’s get you out of here.” He stood, Alex in his arms, and made his way to the door, ignoring the stares they were getting from the few nearby einherji who weren’t too drunk to care. 
Magnus whispered little reassurances to Alex as he walked, but it did little to console him, and his breathing remained shallow and panicked. When they got back to the suite, Magnus sat down with the panicked little on the couch and tried to calm him down.
“Honey, do you want to make some lists?” Magnus found out early on that the basic five senses and color breathing techniques didn’t help to ground Alex. Instead, the two discovered alternative strategies, including making lists, that were much more effective. Alex didn’t respond, but he gave a little nod, reaching to scratch his arm again. Magnus caught his wrist.
“No more of that little one.” He said gently. “Can you tell me who lives on this floor?
Alex seemed even more distressed by the loss of stimulation, so Magnus gave him his hand to squeeze. “TJ-” he gasped out. “An Mal-ree.”
“That’s right buddy! Who else?”
“Half-born.” Alex’s breathing became a little less labored. “Maggie.”
Magnus stroked Alex’s hair with his free hand. “There’s one more…” 
“Me?”
Magnus laughed. “Yeah, you!”
Alex gave Magnus a little nod and let out another sob. Not out of panic anymore, just frustration and pain. 
“Still not feeling too good, huh bud?” Magnus asked. Alex shook his head again. “Hmm… how about we do a butterfly hug?”
Alex’s eyes widened and he quickly wiped away the tears on his cheeks.
Magnus chuckled. “Do you remember how buddy?”
Alex nodded quickly and crossed his arms over his chest, hooking his thumbs and letting his fingers rest over his collar bones. He began to swiftly tap them, only he couldn’t hold the hug for long because the sensation made him stim, so he had to let go and flap his arms every five seconds, giggling wildly. It made Magnus smile to see Alex happy, but he couldn’t help but notice the little’s forearm, which was not looking too hot.
“Alex, honey, can I take a look at your arm?” 
Alex absentmindedly gave Magnus his arm, still stimming with his free hand and suddenly very interested in a moth that was chilling on the wall. Magnus’ eyes widened. Alex’s whole forearm was covered in dark red streaks, and in some places he was bleeding out.
“Oh buddy…”
Alex, confused, looked down at his arm. “Oh.” he mumbled, as if just noticing it. 
“Come on Alex,” Magnus forced a smile. “Let's get that cleaned up, yeah?” Magnus walked Alex to the bathroom and sat him down on the closed toilet. Alex, being Alex, promptly stood up and plopped himself on the rug instead. Magnus took out the first aid kid he kept in the bathroom closet. He knew Alex would be healed by morning, but his arm looked painful, and since Magnus pointed it out the little kept staring at it with shame and frustration. 
“Alright buddy,” Magnus sat down in front of Alex, holding the first aid kit and a wet washcloth. “Can I see?” Magnus gently cleaned the blood off Alex’s forearm. There was one spot, down near his wrist, where the scratch was a little worrisome. It was about two inches long and a clean line, as if Alex had scratched it parallel to his arm. However, it was not squirting blood the way ruptured arteries did, and did not gape open, so Magnus was not terribly concerned about it. Alex’s nails may have been sharp, but they were not that sharp. It was, however, too big for a band aid, so he put neosporin on it and wrapped it in gauze. The rest of Alex’s arm wasn’t too bad, just reddened flesh and a few nicks, but it made Magnus worry nonetheless. 
“Alex… why didn’t you tell me you were feeling little? We didn’t have to go to that party.”
Alex, who had been silent the whole time Magnus was patching him up, made a sound half way between a whine and a groan. “Didn’t want to ruin it. You had a cos’ume. An everyone else went.”
Magnus smiled ruefully. “That’s kind of you bud. But next time, please tell me. I was really worried about you, I need to keep my kiddo safe.”
“M sorry.” Alex said, looking down guilty.
“It’s alright buddy. And hey, we can still have tons of spooky fun here! You want to bake something and watch a show?”
Alex’s face lit up. “Garden wall?”
“Sure! You just reminded me though, I should probably wash off this face paint. Wait up for me?”
Alex pouted. “Bu’ you look so cool!”
“Okay,” Magnus chuckled. “I’ll just take off the tie.” He left it on the bathroom counter. “What are we making?”
Alex didn’t answer. He was already running away into the kitchen. Magnus ran after him and scooped him up from behind, tickling his ribs.
“Maggie!” Alex squealed with laughter. Magnus placed him on the kitchen counter, and planted a kiss on his forehead.
“Hmm… I’ve got some pumpkin puree. You want to make a pumpkin loaf?”
Alex kicked his legs excitedly. “Mhm!”
“Chocolate chips or cream cheese frosting?”
“Umm… cho’late.”
“Alrighty!” Magnus preheated the oven and began pulling out ingredients. He let Alex mix in the chocolate chips, but did the rest himself, while Alex kicked his legs and told “scary” stories.
“...An the shark jumped outta the closet an he ate all the people! The end.”
Magnus gasped and stumbled back dramatically. “That’s terrifying! You’ll give me a heart attack with these twist endings.” 
Alex giggled. Magnus pushed the loaf pan into the oven and picked Alex up, carrying him to the living room. The two sat together on the couch and Magnus played the first episode of Over The Garden Wall. Halfway through the fourth episode, there was a knock at the door. Magnus got up to get it. 
“Hi Magnus,” Sam said, leaning on the doorframe. “Something smells good in here.”
Magnus didn’t even have time to respond before Alex charged past him. 
“Sammy!!” He squealed, jumping into her arms.
“Hi Pumpkin!” She cooed. “I heard you had a rough night, so-” She froze, having just noticed the bandages on Alex’s arm. “What’s this?” 
Alex followed her gaze. “Oh.”
“Alex got a little overwhelmed earlier. He’s alright now though, huh buddy?” 
“Mhm. We made pumpkin bread! An watching garden wall!” 
“Speaking of which,” Magnus said, “That loaf should be out any minute now. Want to come in?”
“Yay, bread!” Alex squirmed in Sam's arms and ran off into the kitchen.
“Don’t open the oven yet!” Magnus called after. Sam looked at him worriedly.
“He hurt himself.” It was a statement, not a question. Magnus nodded. 
“Not on purpose. You know how he scratches when he’s nervous?”
Sam gave a nod of understanding. “Yeah, I figured that.”
“What about you? Didn’t you have, like, a family dinner or something tonight?” Magnus asked, closing the door.
“Yeah, like thirty minutes ago. I wanted to ask if you guys wanted leftovers because we have a ton, but when I went to the party you said you were going too, I couldn’t find you. I asked Mallory, and she said you guys left and Alex was crying, and I just put two and two together.”
They walked into the kitchen, where Alex was sitting criss-cross in front of the oven, staring intently at the bread. Magnus pulled it out and tested it with a skewer. Deeming it safe, he plopped it out of the pan and cut three slices off. 
“I know you don’t really do Halloween, but if you want to stay and eat pumpkin bread with us, Over The Garden Wall is more of a general fall show than it is specifically Halloween, save episode nine.” Magnus said.
“Stay!” Alex yelped. “Stay! Stay!” 
Magnus sighed. “Alex-”
 “Couldn’t hurt.” Sam shrugged, smiling. 
“Yay!” Alex made grabby hands until she picked him up again. Magnus handed them each a slice of pumpkin bread and kissed Alex on the forehead. 
They all settled on the couch, Alex cuddled between Magnus and Sam. He felt safe.

Sword gays showdown, round 1, bracket two
Propaganda:
For Magnus Chase:
His sword talks and sings great parodies of pop songs. Magnus also refuses sword lessons even knowing it may cost him his life, he does this because he feels awkward for taking so long to get lessons. King move, Magnus
Has a talking sword named jack!!!! Is Pan!!! also is dead!!!
For Hikaru Sulu:
1) Okay, first off: Which version am I submitting? Prime timeline (TOS) or Kelvin timeline (AOS, also known as the reboot movies if you're not in the fandom)? The answer is both. Prime Sulu has the more iconic fencing scenes (and is also said to have other sword related abilities) while Kelvin Sulu is canonically gay. Specifically as a tribute to George Takei btw who played prime Sulu in TOS and is famously gay and an LGBT+ rights activist among other causes. The picture provided is prime Sulu but if you've only watched AOS, feel free to vote for him anyway.
I'm not gonna link any videos here since that would probably exceed the scope of the propaganda section but clips should be pretty easy to find. And if you can't, just trust me: The TOS fencing scenes are amazing. The AOS one is probably fine too but it's been ages since I've watched it and I forgot it even existed so it can't have been THAT memorable.
Fun fact: George Takei initially didn't know how to fence and didn't find out he'd have to until pretty late and started taking fencing lessons only three weeks before the filming of that episode (The Naked Time) and apparently "became so out-of-control and boisterous that he had to be separated from the rest of the production personnel, for their own safety" which, in context of what the episode is about, is just absolutely amazing. Truly iconic.
Anyway, considering Star Trek is an important part of queer history (I'm only half joking) you need to vote for Sulu, we all know George Takei is an icon, make the right choice here.
2) When they got hit with the drunk virus he took his shirt off and started challenging people to duels. Iconic 
3) This bitch got the outer space disease that makes you silly, and revealed they were gung ho for fencing, and brought out their sabre to just. Swashbuckle. Goes "/oh my/," and is clearly gay and played by a gay actor

No, I most certainly did NOT have an existential crisis at 2 am because i realized Magnus Chase probably has a Boston accent and this changes EVERYTHING.

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?
This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.
A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.
Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.
