everytime i tell europeans my favorite cuisine is texmex & sonoran they are like “American bastardized Mexican food?” and i feel like im going insane. its not bastardized. its their fucking cuisine.

#never spoke to a tejano person in their life #im left to the task of explaining the mexican american war #as well as the texas independance #and how the border moved not the mexicans #and that their food with be shaped by a different geopolitical context #they get bored quickly #but i will defend the chimichanga

currently writing a fanfic where thalia reflects on taking zoe's place as lieutenant. and the zoe and thalia parallels in the original series are so strong. i mean. both of their deaths were caused by their fathers. both of their deaths end with them staring up at the sky. both of their deaths lead to them being a symbol of sacrifice and heroism. both of them joined the hunt because they lost faith in a boy they cared for. both of them were trapped between a rock and a hard place. how am i just now realizing this?

#i know that zeus didn't technically kill thalia #however #he was the first one to break the oath #thus dooming thalia to a life of torment #and in her dying moments #all he did was keep her on the brink of death #and essentially put her to work by acting as the token and border for camp half-blood #being the protection for demigods that he would never give her #and if i came back to life six years later and learned that #it would kill me #so #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo textposts #pjo parallels #thalia grace #zoe nightshade #the titan's curse #ttc #the titan's curse angst #thalia grace angst #zoe nightshade angst

i’m gonna CRY ABOUT DESERT DUO. i’ve known about them for Five Days and i’m ready to throw my phone across the room about them. i just finished watching all the life series from grian’s perspective. (i watched them secret -> third -> last -> double -> limited)

together in every universe but they haven’t really been each other’s in years.

the fact that to this day when someone does something stupid or silly grian will start yelling scar’s name first (“NO SC- JOEL!” “nice one sc-timmy!”)

it’s turning to someone you have grown accustomed to being by your side and by the time you realize how much you needed them they’re just gone. and it’s literally your fault.

grian cheated on scar (in double life). and scar didn’t go back to him (in the subsequent series). and even still they’re still in each other’s life. they aren’t on opposite sides until the very end when it’s every man for himself. their factions somehow always end up allies.

EXCEPT SECRET LIFE. when they were the only people on the server with no friends. they lived next to each other and saw each other every day but were never more than that.

they lived next to each other. and every day they both were sad about having no friends.

the fact that grian won the first series by killing scar and then immediately jumped off a cliff as soon as he won. and scar won the most recent series when he had no one and grian was the one to tell him he won. to tell him that it was finally over.

i really need to watch at least double life from scar’s perspective to see his reaction to walking in on grian and bigB. bc him saying “they’re for your secret soulmate” was so full of hurt and venom and it was just enough of a hook to get me completely caught on them.

Bench-Finder

Ever since I adopted Flynn, he’s had a habit of “finding” & showing me benches he comes across. He will excitedly run to the bench & then hang around, watching keenly as I approach, making sure I notice what he’s showing me. Flynn seems quite disappointed if I ignore his find - he’ll hang back by the seat for a time & give me the same expression he might if I refused a request to play. 

Over the years, Flynn has even taken to physically herding me towards certain favourite benches - like this one! If I seem like I am going to pass the bench without stopping, Flynn will drift into my path, then stop dead, standing right in front of my feet, body angled strategically so that, in order for me to step around Flynn, I also have to step towards the bench. He is... surprisingly good at pushing you in the way he wants you to go. He’ll do this to one or two of our close friends too. 

While generally focused on benches, Flynn also has a remarkable memory for any random place I’ve stopped for a rest... If I once sat on a fallen tree trunk, or a stump, or a wall, or rock, then when we pass that way again - even many weeks later & even if it’s well off the path - Flynn will start trying to usher me that way again. “Here’s your seat, Madam!”

This insistence I regularly stop & sit makes me laugh because Flynn is definitely not doing it because he wants a rest... & I know he also finds me stopping for a break on walks terribly boring. I know this, because generally within a few seconds of me complying & sitting down (& getting observed by the dog!), Flynn decides, “Right. Job done. The human is rested, time to move” & starts hopping about, doing his “Get up, get up, get up!” dance. If that doesn’t work, he’ll try to get me onto my feet & down the path, using his ball as a lure, but that’s another story.

I’d assume Flynn insists I sit (briefly!) because *sometimes* he gets a treat when we stop at a bench but he gets treats regularly while we walk - & I play with him throughout too... So when & why did The Human Must Sit On The Bench become a rule, in Flynn’s collie mind? 

He’s a weird little dog.

A weird & manipulative little dog. I think I’ve been trained & I’m not certain what for!! 

#life with border collies is never dull! #you train them... they train you #I've been taught to sit on benches #why? #I didn't use benches regularly before Flynn came to me #now I do #Flynn #border collie #dog #bench #woods #spring

rewatching World Trigger. I forgot how gay it was. Osamu straight up says "hey Yuma. I know that we've only known you for like five days, but I can't help but notice that you aren't doing anything with your life right now. Mind if I borrow it for a bit?"

And then Yuma responds with "while its true that we've only know each other for like five days, your kind yet stubborn nature has compelled me. Sure. Why not? From this moment on my life is yours to do whatever you want with. One condition, though. You have to be my boss" and then throughout the story he occasionally makes these little remarks like "I'd do anything my captain (osamu) asked me to."

Like bro what? I really don't think that Osamu fully realizes the weight of the loyalty he somehow managed to earn from Yuma. I don't think he could realize it. From his perspective he cringefailed his way into b rank while Yuma did all the work. "And now Yuma would kill or die for me" is just not a conclusion that would ever occur to Osamu based on the avaliable evidence.

And like, what's going on here from Yuma's perspective? I get that he was a man on the brink when the story started, pursuing a sincerely suicidal plan, and then said plan failed and he was left with absolutely nothing, but I still feel like there has to be more going on here. He decided that he would follow Osamu through hell and back the very same minute that Osamu asked anything of him at all.

It's like, combat is all Yuma has ever known. He doesn't see any future for himself at all, but he especially can't imagine a peaceful one. But he's not a bad kid. He doesn't go out of his way to hurt people. Osamu has proven to be a pretty decent person, willing to sacrifice himself to save the lives of relative strangers. Maybe, the way Yuma sees it, yeah he's a weapon, but if he follows Osamu at least he'll be a weapon pointed in the right direction. He'll fight because it's all he knows how to do, but osamu would only ever ask him to fight for worthy causes. Y'know?

Anyway. The point is that Yuma accepted helping Osamu as his new purpose in life after knowing him for less than a week, and that's A Lot, no matter how you look at it.

#world trigger #yuma kuga #osamu mikumo #my rambles #so happy for them though #world trigger is weird about kids in a completely different way that anime tends to be #with this show its mostly “why is no one blinking at the idea of sending a 14 year old into an active war zone” #i get the defense missions being entirely safe because of bail out #but for the away missions where are their parents?? who is allowing this? bro you are an actual child #but border. where yuma can hone his skills in combat outside of life and death circumstances #and build a broad suppot network of folks that care for him and enjoy his company #is probably the best place he could have gone to start to heal from being a child soldier

Sad to say that the beautiful sleepy collie whose drawings you all loved passed away last month at the mighty age of 17, still able to trot up mountains right til the end. You are missed, Lexie!
