your relationship with your mortal family is iffy at best, and all you want to do is mend what's broken before the responsibilities of a demigod kill you too soon. one of the two people you called family is immortal and will outlive you after you die, and the other is leading a revolt against the gods and has proven that they will kill the people you hold dear with no remorse. and the boy you've fallen in love with, the only person who has chosen you without hesitation, might die in a war on his birthday. and you're only sixteen. can we get a moment of silence for the daughter of athena, please?

i say this prayer out of devotion and love for you.
i say thanks for all the wisdom you bring us,
i don't ask for anything besides for you to be with me.
it will be, as you allow it, i believe in your guidance.

Maria and Nat would definitely have a rivalry like their parents. (I’m pretty sure Athena and Ares don’t completely like each other.)
Yes absolutely but at the same time deep down they'd definitely have feelings for each other that they'd never admit to anyone especially to each other or to their parents.

I know I’m talking to an empty theater here but the writing on that episode of Lark Rise to Candleford where Robert loses his tools (and so the means to feed his family) and is facing destitution and then runs into the young guy who’s in love with his daughter and then uses the moment not to take out all his angst and anger on Fisher but to ask him if he’s ready for all that marriage and staying and giving up his life on the road actually means thus forcing Fisher to admit that he isn’t ready for it—-
!!!!!!!!
#and it’s just so brilliant because we’ve watched Robert suffer so deeply the entire episode#because of how crushing the weight of parental responsibility and poverty can be!!!#and he sees this guy that loves his daughter but has no understanding of the life that that love could and should and will lead him to#if he chooses to stay. this guy who’s just living in the moment and in the feelings of the moment but whose love is not strong enough#to endure the sacrifice that would be required of. well. ordinary married life in a small town!#and Robert uses all his wisdom to force him to admit that he’s not ready for it and doesn’t want it#and then it gets even more brilliant! because after Fisher leaves and Laura is heartbroken and angry#he presents her with the same reality/question but from HER side#her being like ‘how dare you make him not stay’ and Robert being like ‘and did I force you not to go with him?’#‘were YOU ready to give up your whole life and world for him? to make it work? or did you want your life AND him’#it’s the have your cake and eat it too truth in this case. their lives didn’t fit together and their love was real in a way#but not real enough to weld their different lives together without both of them hating each other in the end#idk it’s just BRILLIANT and I love it so much#because it unfolds so truthfully and all of the pieces of the story fold into each other so that it a) hits exactly as hard as it should#and b) reveals the truths of things so clearly and so accurately#Robert is so annoying so much of the time but he was a fatherly icon in this ep#lark rise to candleford

a long shot i know, but if anybody happens to have a copy of the wall of storms (book 2 in the dandelion dynasty by ken liu) and is willing to send me a pic of two of the pages in chapter 7, please let me know!! the copy i got out from the library has a torn page, and though i can pretty much guess what's missing, it would be cool to put a note in there for the next person <3

Can someone write a story where
The BRIDGERTONs are Lycan and in service/ related to the Royals-Charlotte and George. Fathers were 2nd cousins. The Featheringtons are unpopular alpha/omega, because Baron Featherington is a puny, weak spirited alpha. Penelope is befriended by Colin when she gets lost at four years old and Eloise becomes her playmate. She is loved and accepted in the BRIDGERTON home.
Edmund dies….The boys are sent away to school. The girls go to a local school. Penelope is picked on because she is small and shy. After Lord Featherington dies and she doesn’t present her first heat Penelope is thrown out of her pack, after suffering years of abuse and bullying. The pack thinks she is weak and has no wolf.
Colin has always cared deeply for Penelope and dreamed of becoming her mate, but he knows that she has not presented by her 18th birthday and Lycan may not marry beta or human females. Yes, he declared it semi publicly and it hurt Pen. But she didn’t hear his full declaration. ‘No, I will never marry Pen, not in your wildest dreams Fife.’ Was all she heard, but after she ran away, he said, ‘because it is not allowed and if I can not marry her, then I will marry no one’. And he starts wandering the globe. (Before, she is kicked out of her pack).
Pen is taken in by the BRIDGERTON family and starts uni. She grows more lovely by the day and her and Eloise have always been best friends. Eloise keeps up correspondence with Colin and let’s him know how Pen is all throughout their university years.
When Eloise has her first heat cycle, she has Penelope write to him and when he receives the letter the heavenly scent on the letter has him rushing home to find his mate. Lycans are still Alpha and Omega but Lycans omegas present older (around 21) and the Featheringtons have not presented Lycan in generations. Colin doesn’t know it is Penelope at first, but knows it is his mate.
I want Lady D and Lady B to always suspect that Pen is a Lycan. I want Edmond to have too. I want them to have always suspected that they were soul mates.
You can put as many book and show elements as you want, but please can you give is Lycan Polin.

[...] "Being busy takes your mind off things, that's what I always say."
"Yes, Glenda, that's what you always say," said Juliet.
An inflection caught Glenda's ear, and worried her a little. "Do I always say that? When?"
"Every day when you come in and put your apron on, Glenda."
"Mother used to say that," said Glenda, and tried to shake the thought out of her head. "And she was right, of course! Hard work never hurt anybody!" And she tried to unthink the treacherous thought: except her.
Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

Front and (a rare) back photo of the 10ft tall "Athena Velletri" a Roman marble copy of an original Greek bronze. The original bronze statue was mentioned by the Roman traveller Pausanius as being situated on the Acropolis in Athens. Her right arm originally held a spear whilst her left is generally believed to have held a phiale (a libation bowl), although a statue of Nike has also been suggested. Found in Italy, she currently resides in the Louvre 🏛🏺
