i think that percy and annabeth's relationship is so healing for both of them. like, our girl has severe abandonment issues but managed to pull the guy whose fatal flaw is unwavering loyalty. and our boy has severe self-esteem issues but managed to pull the girl who consistently chooses him. i love these two so much.

best wolfstar dynamic (in my opinion) is loser bookworm remus dressed like someone's grandfather and perpetually smells like weed, and intimidating punk sirius who frightens strangers until he coos over a baby and pets a cute dog and is scared of parents

The thing about testosterone being a controlled substance means that acess to it for hrt is restricted. While it makes access a significant issue for many people and an easy and effective way to prevent trans men and mascs from transitioning (as we've seen terfs campaign for and succeed at doing in Britain) it also means that is very easy for health care professionals to be able to take it away from trans men/mascs arbitrarily. This is most aborant in cases where trans men/mascs are forced to detransition to gain access to abortions after being raped. However, the first sign of an issues tangentially related to hormones a gp, without any training in trans people or hormones, can and will stop a person's testosterone. Apart from how stressful it is to know that for the rest of your life you'll be dependent on the goodwill of a random person, this has measurable negative consequences for a trans person subjected too it.
Going off t fucking sucks at the best of time, but being forced off t will most likely result in depression and worsening mental health for a trans man/masc, who are already one of the most likely groups to attempt suicide. It can also put a trans person at risk if they suddenly start being visibly trans again, especially if they're closeted in, say, a work place environment. Trans people, including trans men, are already one of the most targeted groups of harassment and violence and sexual assalt and forcibly reducing or stopping t can out people and risk their safety. And a gp won't see this or care about this, or attempt to treat a trans man/masc first or ask for their opinion or situation.
Ultimately, testosterone is seen as entirely optional and so the first resort when something goes wrong it to take it away, when it should be considered the last resort, and is considered the last resort for cis men. And as long as testosterone continues to be a controlled substance it will remain like this.
(edit for clarification: I am a kiwi, this post was intended as a general critique of accessing t through health care systems - based in my lived experience in NZ and what ive heard from international trans ppl; including but not limited to the USA)

i feel like percy is the type of fighter who would laugh if a monster ran away from him out of fear. but annabeth is the type of fighter who would call them a coward and run after it.

i love how q!cellbit loves big. he's all screaming declarations and beautiful scenes, he wanted a big wedding and planned everything to perfection, he's the one starting kisses and saying the "i love you"s first. he's intense and loud about his love for q!ro, and he's never ashamed or shy about it.
i love how q!roier loves small. he uses petnames and likes going out alone just them, he enjoys quality time, he's the one who's there when no one else is, when no one else even notices, he's saving q!cellbit in ways he hadn't discovered he needed saving. he's loyal and heartwarming, and doesn't ever need big declarations for his feelings to be true.
i love how they show their love differently, and still give exactly what the other needs. q!cell has been through a lot, he just needs a shoulder to lean on and someone to love, as non-hidden and free as he can, now. q!ro is done with receiving too little, always going after ppl who don't want him, he needs to be appreciated, loved and cared for in every way, and he shouldn't feel less than anything for wanting to be loved like that.
