things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

Writing a fic based in the same world as twenty one pilots lore if anyone’s interested in reading it!!

You can read it here

It’s about two transfem citizens of dema, Hope and Samantha.

Hope becomes a bandito, and finds peace in helping others.

The first citizen she helps? Samantha.

Also they’re lesbians

10/10 reaction, i remember noticing this when the episode dropped and was screaming at a friend in vc over it omggg

That time I realized Luke's shoes are yellow after doing a whole analysis on yellow/gold vs blue in the show

(I didn't know my screen recording program was set to record my mic input as well lmao)

[batdiangelo]

Well now you gotta share the moment with us bestie

GUYS IM DYING LMAO

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY MIC PICKED UP THE EXACT MOMENT I REALIZED LUKE WAS WEARING IDENTICAL, BUT YELLOW, SNEAKERS TO PERCY I'M ACTUALLY CRYING

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry

[batdiangelo]

no one answered but I really want to do it because I cannot stop thinking about Silco and Vander or Luke and Grayson

Vander and Silco versus Grayson and Luke... would anyone wanna see the analysis of the parallels between these guys? I could probably make a fuckin' YOUTUBE VIDEO full of the parallels istg.

I love this post so much; I wanna use it as a jumping point for my OCs in my fanfic.

Like op says, Thalia and Annabeth, while they see differently, they both can’t give Luke the knife. Either out of hatred or love, they can’t do it.

My ocs, Grayson and Damien; who’ve known Luke a little less longer than Thalia and Annabeth (they met up before the cyclops incident) are similar. They both can’t hand Luke the knife either.

Grayson can’t out of fear of being stabbed. Without spoilers, he can’t hand the knife to Luke and turn his back out of fear he’ll be stabbed in it by the very man he considered his brother. He doesn’t trust him anymore.

Damien could, in theory; but it would take a lot and since he’s only 15 when the battle comes; he isn’t emotionally equipped to do it. He idolized Luke for years, did exactly as told and tried to be just like the son of Hermes. But something happens and all that heroic vision melts away and Damien can’t see anything but a desperate man who knows he’s going to lose either way. He could, in theory hand him the knife, but that means accepting the fact his hero, his brother will die.

They all see one facet of Luke— they see him all one specific way, through fear, love, hate, whatever; and they can’t see past that.

Percy can. Percy is the outlier; he can see all their points, and with his own experiences; he can hand Luke the knife only when Luke deserves it.

Like I’ve said before; this story I’m working on is going to be tragic; but only because it was always meant to end this way. There is no other way.

that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.

ONE THOUSAND HITS.

gods. I never thought I'd hit this milestone; with any story I've created. personally, I've struggled with sharing my art with others; out of some strange, irrational fear.

this idea—for The Intertwined Fate of Wine and Riches— started because I'd seen the show get announced to start filming back in 2022.

It has cycled so many different versions since then. So many pitches to friends, people I thought were friends. Characters developed, or scrapped. Arcs and ideas that will never see the light of day, all forged into this story.

and the craziest thing is we're barely getting started. You've barely seen the half of what our favorites go through.

Thanks for reading, my friends. make sure you have tissues and emotional support plushies near by. things are about to get wild.

this is absolutely mad, completely insane to me. Thank you, genuinely.

Happy pride month you gays

[batdiangelo]

sometimes babygirl is a grown-ass man who may or may not have committed several war crimes AND THATS OKAY.

[batdiangelo]

will we see more of dionysus in the coming chapters?

Yes!! I actually am working on some scenes with him right now!

[batdiangelo]

Tell me your sweet name.

[batdiangelo]

hope you feel better soon!

Diva down ✌️

[batdiangelo]

Every time I remember Thalia's actress in the show is British I laugh. Please keep her British. I need to see Percy making fun of her accent like "bit sad innit pinecone face" when he gets pissed and Thalia electrocuting him with four lightning bolts in a row. It would be extremely in character

[batdiangelo]

that being said, I can't believe I haven't utilized the musical more!

be prepared for SAD.

Genuinely excited to post more chapters but don’t forget there’s a whole master post with content yall can consume while I chug away and write
