would love it if the last god/goddess percy has to do a quest for is hestia. and all she only asks of him a simple, easy-to-do, done in two minutes task. and then that's it. no tricks or double meanings. and he just sobs into her shoulder at the end of it. and she just holds him and tells him that he's all done. he can go live his life now.

[reedygryphon]

Hey, you know that persecutor alter you got there? The one you keep from fronting usually because you're afraid they're gonna do something awful and hurt you or hurt someone you love or anything else you just don't want to happen?

Can you do me a favor and get them some ice cream for me please? Or if you're allergic or lactose intolerant or just hate ice cream, any other treat you think they may like? Or if they don't like anything maybe share a favorite food with them? Or a favorite toy? Just. Show them there's some nice things out there in the world, too. That it's not all hurt and trauma out there. And that you care about them or even just respect their right to exist.

inspired by boop day, reblog this post if its ok for people to send you random asks and interact on your posts with no judgement. i want to talk to people.

"more than best friends but less than lovers."

hurts so bad because it's so untrue, queer platonic relationships (and regular platonic relationships) are not less than romantic lovers in anyway, the whole point is it's on the same emotional intimacy scale.

[reedygryphon]

my favorite love language is trying, actually

[reedygryphon]

[reedygryphon]

Which percabeth do you prefer?

[reedygryphon]

fucking love when I'm on a call with someone and they start to do a little errand or go somewhere else and they say "and you're coming with me" like. absolutely I am let's go on an adventure I've been spirited away

[reedygryphon]

wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry

[reedygryphon]

[reedygryphon]

Look I love when people are supportive of me but stop saying I couldn’t get bitches, I so fucking could if I wanted to bestie you don’t even know it

[reedygryphon]

I'm not aplatonic but "aromantic people still love their friends" doesn't make me feel better because I have had terrible luck with friendship for most of my life

[reedygryphon]

I feel like sometimes, aro/ace/aroace positivity posts can accidentally exclude us non gold star holders, so reminder:

if you are ace and have had consensual sex in the past but don't want it anymore, you are still ace

if you are aro and have had a romantic relationship in the past but don't want one anymore, you are still aro

yes, even if the "past" was last week, yes, even if these things happened while you were already identifying as ace/aro/aroace, yes, even if you enjoyed them, yes, even if you didn't, yes, even if you're neutral, yes, even if you'd be willing to try again. (and of course, aces/aros/aroaces who still do those things/have those relationships are just as ace/aro/aroace as the rest of us)

and especially

yes, even if you are sex and/or romance repulsed now
