Someone has definitely thought of this or spoke of this before but I’m rereading The Lightning Thief (after like 7/8 years) and one of the biggest things they hit on in the first half of the book is how powerful names are.
When Percy first learns about essentially everything regarding being a half-blood, Olympus being real, etc etc…the one thing that Mr. D and Chiron really beat into Percy’s head is that names have real power.
So just being reminded of that made me think back to the series and how huge of a deal it was that Percy not only prayed to his mom instead of any Olympian God but that when he was being told he was Poseidons son by Mr. D he outright corrected him by stating he was Sally Jackson’s son.
Not only was this 12 year old essentially saying fuck you to the Gods, he was using their own power against them in the only way an undetermined (at least until he is) 12 year old could.
Everyone’s like ‘’James is such a mama’s boy’’ but what about James being such a grandma’s boy. Even more if it’s latino James. Like, I’m convinced his abuelita was basically his best friend but he was also terrified of her. He would always say ‘’Well, my abuelita says…’’. And the scariest thing he ever had to do in his entire life was come out to her, and he fought a war,so…
Anyways, thanks for coming to my pep talk. Good day!
How a terribly touch starved Simon Riley would just lay on top of you on the couch, completely trapping you under his massive frame.
Poor guy burying his face into your chest and wrapping his arms around your waist while you watch whatever movie you both had put on.
He would refuse to admit how he craved your touch, yet his favorite thing was to put his head on your chest and just listen to your heartbeat.
Simon Riley was a mama’s boy, a broken man whose mother was taken away from him. But he’s found that warm feeling in you after years of being cold and he’ll be damned if he’s ever letting you go.
alastor being a mama’s boy, i think he gets breakdowns after battles where he got hurt a lot and he doesn’t know what to do next with his life, craving his mother’s guidance but he’s forced to be independent and climb up hell’s society.
he just wants to be reunited with his mama but he knows that’ll never happen because he’s far too sinful.
perhaps that’s why he’s sticking around the hazbin hotel, to see if redemption is actually possible; masking the hope through his pessimism.
will he straighten his life out once he finds out sir pentious got redeemed? (i wouldnt be surprised if he acts more nicely and avoids violence once he finds out)
or will he be forever damned in hell for all of his sins?
I always get offended when people call me sexist. Bitch where? Real ones know I’m a mama’s boy. Being mean to a woman doesn’t make me sexist. I’m mean to men too. Nobody is free from my torment. Except my mama and on occasion, Lucien.
Daiki: Bullshit. It looks like you drew on your neck with permanent marker. Next month, I’m paying for the removal of that shit. You’re not a delinquent-
Daigo: Chill out, ma. Look, I got a small banana on my wrist for you so you can’t get mad at me
Daiki (gapes at the tiny tattoo then flushes as his chest warms) : I…fuck, okay, that’s adorable but I’m fuming. You’re grounded for the next month. No basketball.
Daigo groans and Taiga curses loudly as Daiki whips out his phone to take a picture of his son’s wrist, trying his best not to smile.
