No because Annabeth spent all her time in CHB training. She finally gets the chance to prove herself to Athena, to earn her love, with the quest. And before they’re even out of New Jersey she offends her mother, who in turn allows the Chimera into the Arch. But that’s okay, because Annabeth just hasn’t earned her mother’s love yet. That’s how it is. And then she’s given an opportunity. An opportunity to be the demigod who retrieved Ares’ shield. To make her mother proud, to right her previous wrongs. To earn Athena’s love. But at this point, her whole view of the gods has changed. For the first time in her life she’s realizing that having to earn love from others maybe isn’t right. The last few days she’s spent with Percy have taught her so much about what real loyalty and friendship are supposed to look like that she turns her back on the very thing she dreamed about back in CHB. She chooses friendship over glory, and she’s a better person for it.

The subtext of the whole ‘Aziraphale buys his clothes made from new and Crowley simply manifests whatever he wants to wear onto him’ thing, is that Aziraphale has been naked before while Crowley presumably has not.

hockey needs confessionals. not typical player robot soundbites. but i want them sitting with a bad green screen background in the middle of a game like
“and then, get this, he tells me i need to get some mouthwash! you believe that shit? like, buddy, if you’re that close to my mouth maybe YOU’RE the problem!”
“like he literally bit me. who does that? who bites someone? he’s crazy. and with a father like his, i don’t even know why i’m surprised!”
“you know i’m lining up for a face off against him and it’s really awkward, okay, because i mean. half of this league has slept with him or dreamt about it at least, right? not to call him a slut but if the shoe fits. so obviously i lose the face off,”

so, aemond, for the past decade, obsessing over lucerys, planning his demise, practicing how he would take his eye with a single clean cut whenever fate brings them together again, only for him to get absolutely weak-kneed when he finally sees luke for the first time. the boy’s grown to be so witty and sassy, matching aemond’s spitting fire each time they have an encounter but still managing to look so fragile at times, and he’s like ridiculously gorgeous and delicate looking while also having that glint of mischievousness masked behind all that innocence of his that serves to drives anyone he puts his pretty eyes on up the wall. him to be very specific. and then aemond is in a full on crisis from there on because he still wants to reproachably maim his little shit of a nephew but if anything were to happen to a single strand of soft curly hair aemond’s ready to burn the seven to the fkn ground-

something that feels particularly notable is how much the game itself pushes the player to continue, whether or not that aligns with the narrator’s desires. That there is no real consequence by not playing an ending except for denying yourself of seeing the outcome of that choice. Which in itself is the very nature of continuing to push the wheel. Choices lead to actions that lead to player interaction. And even in scenarios like the zending, where the narrator desperately does not want us to move forward, the game provides a way for us to do so anyway. The way that the game will always provide a choice no matter the moral ramifications. But whether or not you choose to take that option will always be the choice you bear.

You know, I feel like we don’t talk enough about how sensitive and painful scar tissue is. Maybe because most people haven’t had stitches and huge, deep cuts. But let me just share as someone who’s had quite a few surgeries and injuries, scars are really tender. Like I cut the side of my pinky pretty deeply and I couldn’t wear rings on my ring finger for like a year because the ring rubbing against it hurt so much. And after I got my eyebrow stitched up, I couldn’t pencil my brow for about a year and whenever my sunglasses bumped against it, it hurt so badly. The surgery scar I have on the base of my thumb from when I was 4 years old still hurts if I’m stretching or using my thumb too much. The bigger the scar the worse it is too, which makes sense. I have two scars about half a foot long on the inside of both of my knees and they took forever to not be super painful to touch, even now they can be a little sensitive. All that to say, even when a character’s injuries are healed they would still have a lot of pain and tenderness going on from any sort of touch, even months after, especially in the places with the most nerves. Just something to think about…

Imagine Nureyev hearing Juno’s terrible acting onstage below him
After the fear, the disbelief, the horror - imagine Juno still pulling a smile to Nureyev’s face for the first time in months

Does anyone else think it’s fascinating how nicknames develop? Like sometimes a nickname is a logical shortening of a name, sometimes it’s a different part of their name, like a last name or a middle name, and sometimes it’s completely random, manifesting out of a series of twisting inside jokes and memories that is impossible to explain and you’re just like, “Oh yeah, that’s our friend, The Ball, don’t mind him.”
