Sally and Poseidon Headcanons

Requested by this anon, and most of these were inspired by this post by Lili

Just imagine Poseidon seeing Sally on the beach and being reeled in like an absolute sucker because how is he meant to resist a beauty like that??

He lays on the charm and she’s not really feeling it, tbh, but then he stuffs up and says something dumb and goes a bit pink in the face, and Sally smiles and says, “Okay. You can take me on a date.”

Poseidon knows exactly how this is going to end but he lets himself fall for Sally anyway

(He loved her don’t you dare try to tell me otherwise how could anyone not love Sally Jackson)

So he tries to ignore that the fact that is definitely going to end bad, because they’re so happy and Sally is just so good. She’s a good person, she’s good for him, she��s good at life

She smiles a lot and has this effortless charm to her that he is just smitten with

One of his favourite things in the world is to make her laugh. He loves the way the corners of her eyes crinkle up and how she completely loses herself in it

Things move fast and the first night they spend together Sally falls asleep in Poseidon’s arms, lulled by the sound of the waves hitting the shore, and he doesn’t get a lot of sleep because he just wants to soak in as much of her as possible

The next morning she slips on his button down to wear while she gets ready, and when he tells her she looks absolutely incredible she decides to keep it on for the rest of the day. She wears it with a pair of denim shorts that drive him crazy

He peels it off her that night, kissing every inch of skin he reveals as he pushes it off her shoulders and down her arms

He cries when she tells him she’s pregnant

She cries when he tells her he’s a god: at first because she’s scared, then because she’s angry he didn’t tell her sooner, and then because she understands he’ll have to leave

And he knows she’s going to be okay when he leaves; he knows she’ll get along okay without him and that she’ll protect their child with her life. But it hurts to think about, and the inevitability of it makes him mad

Poseidon doesn’t want to waste their time together being mad, though, so he continues to throw himself into the relationship wholeheartedly, and Sally does the same

But of course that just makes it worse when they do have to part. He can’t bring himself to look her in the eye and tell her he’s leaving for good, so he waits until she’s in a deep, deep sleep, and then he disappears, leaving behind his shirt, a handwritten note and a faint ocean breeze

The sea isn’t calm, varying between choppy and stormy, for the next month

There’s a reason Percy doesn’t have any younger demigod siblings (because it takes a long time to get over a girl like Sally)

After Poseidon meets Percy for the first time he decides to check in on Sally. He can’t bring himself to talk to her (that’s too much for one day, even for a god), but he checks in on her and he sees her standing there holding the button down he left behind all those years ago

He hears her praying to him to keep Percy safe, and he watches her slip the shirt on over her shoulders. And in that moment he sees the woman he fell in love with all those years ago

But now it’s raw and fresh and feels as though it were brand new and happening right now all over again 

And Poseidon promises Sally that he will keep their child safe, just like she has for the last 12 years

Poseidon took a deep breathe as he transformed. He’d been doing this for 3 years in secret. He fixed his tie then knocked at the front door of the apartment. A woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes opened the door. She smiled at Poseidon. “Happy third anniversary, Sally.” Sally embraced him, “Happy third anniversary, Paul.”

I'd love to hear your thoughts on La La Land's ending! If you don't mind.

SO HERE WE GO. I’ve heard a lot of think pieces/complaining about how the movie is about hollywood, or white men saving jazz, or unrealistically fulfilling your dreams all at once, etc., but I don’t see how you can watch that ending and come away with those things. Sure, the movie dabbles in all of that, and you can make commentary on how unrealistic that is, or in the case of John Legend’s role in the movie, how shitty it is—but then, there’s that ending. That glorious, perfect pitched ending.

The last we see of Mia and Sebastian together, they’re making a choice many of us have or will make in our lives; a turning point in a relationship, where you have to choose what you’re willing to sacrifice, or give to keep the love that you have. They make what I would say, as a person who has made this very choice, the right choice, and seperate for the good of their careers. And realistically, painfully so, that is a lasting break—we jump five years, and things have happened that make their separation permanent (Mia is married, she has a child). That’s startling and, because it happens so quickly instead of the slow and quiet way that it occurs in real life, unbelievable. We think, they’re playing a trick on us, this can’t possibly be where this movie of sparkling lights and love songs is going to end. But the longer the scene goes on, and we see Mia in the car with her husband, so comfortable, it starts to set in, and then, even though we know it’s coming, when she sees the sign at his club—the sign she made for him—we feel the way she does. It’s been five years for her, and she has that space that we, as an audience, were not given from the main storyline, so she’s surprised, and suddenly longing, and that’s an emotion we can feel. 

But the ending isn’t about where Mia finds herself, it’s about Sebastian. He plays his song, and the fantasy begins for him and we get to go along with it. Mia may have moved on, but Sebastian is closer to us, he still feels that sting when he sees her, much worse then she felt. The cinematography here is beautiful, and the music carries us through it, and it’s satisfying, just to retrace the steps of where we have already been with these characters, to hear the same cords they sang together. You can’t tell me it didn’t hit you when, in the bar, the music swelled and he walked right up to kiss her. 

Because this is from Sebastian’s point of view, we see the way he wished it had been, how they could have stayed together, and it is so firmly planted in what he could have done differently. Mia still takes the audition, gets the job, goes to Paris, but he never takes that job with the band, he’s there at her show, he goes to Paris with her. His fantasy includes being there for her, in a way that he never really was during their relationship. He puts her, her dreams and ambitions, first, so that in the end, Mia ends up exactly where she is now, where she’s meant to be, but she’s married to him instead. And even while he’s thinking of it, the unreality of that situation bleeds in—through the film set, the Van Gogh-esque swirls of Paris. It could never have been real, because he was a different man then, he would have always made those choices. He had yet to learn his lesson.

In the end, they are able to smile at each other and part again, because this isn’t a love story. This is a story about growing up. It’s a story about how a person can mean so much to you during one point in your life, how they can change you, can take up all of the space in your world completely, and how much you can love them in that moment—and how beautiful that is. It isn’t lasting, it’s not guaranteed, it’s something you may regret and dwell on over and over later, but it is beautiful. Sebastian’s dream looks so unreal because not only did it not happen, it couldn’t have happened; there were a gulf of reasons why the two of them never would have worked out, even if he had gone with her to Paris. 

But they changed each other. They nudged each other towards their futures. They were each other’s turning point, towards success, their dreams, all the things that felt out of reach when they met. So when they said, before they parted, I will always love you, what they really meant was; I will always love what you have given me.

The music goes full-circle, back to where it started, as Mia and Sebastian look into each other’s eyes, lean in and, softly, but with all the love in the world – kiss.

Favorite Lyrics from Ed Sheeran's album "Divide"

Eraser : The world may be filled with hate, but keep erasing it now, somehow.

Castle On The Hill : I found my heart and broke it here. Made friends and lost them through the years.

Dive : I could fall or I could fly, here in your aeroplane. And I could live, I could die, hanging on the words you say.

Shape Of You : I’m in love with the shape of you. We push and pull like a magnet do, although my heart is falling too.

Perfect : I found a lover to carry more than just my secrets. To carry love, to carry children of our own.

Galway Girl : I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine.Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine as we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night.

Happier : Cause baby you look happier, you do. My friends told me one day I’ll feel it too. And until then I’ll smile to hide the truth, but I know I was happier with you.

New Man : You’re still a young girl trying to be loved, so let me give it to you.

Hearts Don’t Break Around Here : Well, I found love in the inside the arms of a woman I know. She is the lighthouse in the night that will safely guide me home, and I’m not scared of passing over or the thought of growing old.

What Do I Know? : I’ll paint the picture let me set the scene. I know, I’m all for people following their dreams, just re-remember life is more than fitting in your jeans, it’s love and understanding positivity.

How Would You Feel (Paean) : How would you feel, if I told you I loved you? It’s just something that I want to do. I’ll be taking my time, spending my life, falling deeper in love with you. So tell me that you love me too.

Supermarket Flowers : Oh, I’m in pieces. It’s tearing me up, but I know a heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved.

Barcelona : I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight reflected in your beautiful eyes, I guess that is destiny doing it right.

Bibia Be Ye Ye : My heart is breaking at the seams and I’m coming apart now.

Nancy Mulligan: From her snow white streak in her jet black hair, over sixty years I’ve been loving her.

Save Myself : Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels. I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills. And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell. So before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself.

…if you’ll have me?

I was always adamant that Da Vinci was bisexual, and had no interest in being defined one way or the other, and Gregg and I decided that we were in love. And there’s never anything in the scripts, really, but we kind of seed it throughout. There are moments where we almost have a little cheeky kiss, that wasn’t in the script.

Tom Riley, on something about Da Vinci that the fans don’t know. (x)
