Jason: *dies in an excruciatingly painful but heroic way because his dad screwed up again, saving the lives of a literal God, his ex, a random girl and his dad's fucking ego*
ASOIAF bitches have made an entire genre of literary criticism out of twisting themselves into giant, angry knots over how unfair and misogynistic it is that such a huge swathe of women in this text get murdered or tortured or raped for the purpose of influencing the male characters’ storylines but you make a single inadequately deferential point about how many women of color are made to swallow up huge amounts of graphic, intense suffering for that same purpose in the service of white women and they turn into stupefied, pearl-clutching children who just can’t understand why you’re being so mean to their Stronk Female Lead Who Has Been Through So Much

Okay my ‘why Kipperlily hates Riz’ theory: She handed out business cards first day, he handed out business cards first day, she’s tiny, he’s tiny, they’re both obviously overeager teacher’s pet type A rogues, they’re like male and female versions of each other and it’s obvious to everyone. What would most high schoolers do, in that situation, seeing another kid so similar to your friend on the first day that they somehow BOTH made business cards to hand out at school? AND they’re going to be taking classes together? You say “Omg, he’s literally the boy version of you, you’re SOULMATES, you’d be perfect together!” And what do you do when your type A tight-ass friend acts embarrassed by that? You tease her about it more obviously. You think it’s just good natured ribbing, and she KNOWS it’s just good natured ribbing, but for some reason she gets unreasonably angry any time she sees Riz after that. Maybe even uncomfortable? But she KNOWS she doesn’t have a crush on him, so why does it bother her so much?
this is a departure from my regular posting but. thalia and luke was not a pairing i gave any thought to as a kid back when the books were coming out but now that i’m older...do you think he poisoned her tree himself? with his own hands? do you think if their positions were reversed she would have done the same thing? do you think he would have rather killed her rather than let her exist as a monument to the half assed methods the gods use to protect their kids (the tree and the camp itself)? like he’s either going to rescue or murder her through these actions but he’s not going to leave her like that? he’s going to end it one way or another?
can we all acknowledge the fact what ghost!max was existing ONLY to kill nerds, it was his last words, his dying will, but still he was SO MUCH into grace that he put whis whole being aside to have sex with her
and there you go! i have never spent this much time on anything (except maybe exam preparation) but i loved every second of it! i feel like i've learned so much during the process and this is definitely not the last you're going to see from me!

like i said, if you have any questions please send me an ask, i'll be happy to help :)
When they show us Thalia and Luke's relationship in the show it's over for me
No seriously I'm in the third book in my reread and [SPOILERS] I just got to the scene where Percy finds out that Thalia refused to join the Hunters because she didn’t want to leave Luke behind 😭
My Audrey when she was younger!! She's 7, almost 8 here. 🥰 Her unicorn plushie is also a backpack as well as a TV, since she's a Thneedville girl. Her mommy dressed her up all proper like she's going to a piano recital, and then I put a summer camp t-shirt over her. :>
Something I love is that when there are ranking videos for the coolest/most powerful/loveable characters, Nico di Angelo always makes the top five. Like everyone thinks he's amazing, which he is. He's my favorite character and I'm so glad people can agree
