The more I think about Anharion and Sarcean the more I'm convinced they are an allegory for queer trauma and Will will have to embrace, accept, and forgive himself in order change his narrative.

In which case I don't think the collar is compulsion but something else. James - once Anharion in a past life and a former novitiate in this one (he knows all the stories) - did say it wasn't. "All the stories are lies" and "the collar was working but he felt no compulsion", as well as his speculation the collar became tawdry wishful thinking by those who objectified him.

In many ways James has already accepted himself and embraced Anharion, and in so doing made himself a villain to the Light, polite society, and a self righteous religious order. Everything he does is repellent to them but they're also obsessed with him. He is unmentionable but always present. He is condemned for killing the Stewards but they're surprised when reminded they've been trying to kill him since he was 11. Of course he needed to die, he's an abomination. The Stewards were doing the Lor– Lady's work by killing such a corrupt creature.

If Sarcean and Anharion are queer allegory then there is definitely more to their relationship and perceived villainy than what we've been told.

I'm especially struck by how the Light always calls the Lady Sarcean's former love – using language that describes a tragic romance. All the while they dismiss Anharion as a perverse sexual fixation when it's clear in Sarcean's POV that it's Anharion who was the love of Sarcean's life. That Sarcean had loved him long before the Lady. That Sarcean chases pieces of Anharion throughout all his chosen lovers. That it's Anharion he bound to him across time and space. It mirrors how often queer relationships are belittled, the acceptable heteronormative relationship romanticized.

Will/James and Sarcean/Anharion's kinky preferences play into that too. There's a pressure for them to conform and never give into what they want to indulge.

One of my fav headcanons about percabeth is Percy being Annabeth’s first friend.

Because Annabeth, seven and new and experiencing a loss, iced everyone out. She’s friends with Luke and Grover and Chiron cause that’s all she needs and honestly all she can handle.

Yes, yes, she knows all about the other campers. The Stolls version of hazing is stealing you blind when you first arrive. Clarisse is constantly fighting to prove herself, just like her. Selina believes in true love and not breaking hearts. Katie thinks straws are killing the economy. Beckendorf has a secret room all to himself. Lee secretly listens to Lady Gaga.

Some things are general public knowledge, some are secrets no one else knows. She doesn’t figure it out cause their friends, no. It’s because she’s been watching them since they arrived. From Thalia’s tree, from the Athena table, from under the shield of invisibility.

She watches, but she doesn’t interact. They don’t either, hearing stories of the little girl who stalks campers during their first week. Freaked out but mostly uncaring.

She had her people, her routine, unchanging and stable.

And then Percy came along.

He sticks around after the first week, which is weird but she’s teaching him Greek so it’s fine. But then he takes her on a quest, her FIRST one. And it’s so wonderful seeing the world and seeing it with him isn’t so bad. And then they nearly die but still come home and he’s still there. He shows her movies and music that isn’t Chiron’s old operas.

And, suddenly, she finds herself WITH him, not watching him. She’s in the moment, living it as it happens, not watching from afar.

She finds herself with a friend.

Oh shit, i just realised it would have been the perfect evening to go out with the kayak, but i did not think of that AT ALL.

It's already not often like that, perfectly wind still, fitting temperature, beautiful sky, time and energy. And i forget all about it until it's after 10pm and now i do not have enough energy anymore.

This theory has little to no basis, but hear me out.

What if Holly's watch is Inky Mystery's version of the End Reel.

I mean if Wilson's Diary is the Illusion of Living like I suspect it is then the Watch can be the End Reel in some shape or form.

Like it only allows u to go back in time when near a machine part? Oh, and that creepy ass thing happened with the pool of ink in Chpt 284, which doesn't really make sense for the End Reel, BUT I'm really wanting it to be something really important that's connected to BATIM stuff.

Am I probably grasping at straws?

Yes

Am I writing this at 3 am when I have things I need to do tomorrow?

Uh, yes?

Should I probably go to sleep?

Yes No, lol. Sleep is for the weak!!

Aaanyway, thanks for reading this little brain spasm of mine and I say farewell to thee my fellow existences!
