Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Already put it on my calendar! Can't wait!

hi 👋 just wanted to say i love your steddie fic “better by you, better than me”. it’s amazing the way you’ve incorporated eddie into everything from the beginning! i was wondering if the story is done or if you’re ever going to continue with a season 4 rewrite?

hi, thank you so much! the story is very much not done, and indeed we will be seeing a new update this sunday (april 28th).... get excited.

Since they're not sticking close to physical appearances in the show's casting I'm thinking we go all out and make Apollo like Spanish or Portuguese or something and when he's not doing his godly duties driving he sun chariot, he's a telenovela star named ✨Apaulo✨ 🇪🇸

Just need to say something

[lexyvey]

Ooh might be onto something here…

I keep seeing gif sets and photos of Steve's injuries from fighting the bats and I keep thinking someone should write a fanfic where he successfully defends everyone in that scene and then just *drops.*

He's done. Taken out. Needs serious medical care and cannot be easily moved. Is trying to keep a straight face but keeps hissing through his teeth, voice breaking, whining and wiggling away when people try to touch him.

Cue Robin and Nancy setting out to figure out how the hell to get out (and get Steve help) while Eddie is left behind.

With Steve.

In the Upside Version of Steve's house.

Alone.

For a long ass time.

Then Steve starts admitting things to him and Eddie thinks it's a good distraction at first until he slowly realizes that these are Steve's confessions.

His promises to the kids and Robin that he's now passing on to Eddie, because Steve thinks he's going to die.

And that Eddie cannot, will not, let him.

Even if he has to fight Steve himself on the matter.

SCREAM AU

Here’s the poster I made of Robin and I’m kinda obsessed with it ngl. She’s definitely the person to tell you all the rules in a horror movie lol

And check out Steve’s poster here!

SCREAM AU?

I had an idea for a Scream AU and started drawing posters for it. I’m thinking of the opening scene only it’s Steve instead of Drew Barrymore and he’s at Family video on a rainy night answering the phone while popping m&ms in his mouth… maybe? Idk it’s early stages man

Robin’s poster is here btw

"Alright, here we go!" The bartender announces, leaning up to place the drinks on the bar.

"That's one whiskey, neat—" He says, sliding the lowball cocktail glass with amber liquid in front of Eddie.

"—And one Whammin' Slammin' Booty-Bangin' Pina Colada."

He places the extravagant cocktail in front of Steve. It's decorated to the nines with a straw, an umbrella, a piece of pineapple, and a little bit of tinsel on a toothpick. A whole party decoration in a drink.

"You guys have a good night." The bartender says warmly, already moving down the bar to tend to other customers.

Eddie stares down at the whiskey in the glass before him and pouts a little. Beside him and watching his boyfriend closely, Steve rolls his eyes.

"Oh, quit being dramatic," Steve says, sliding the cocktail across the bar so it's in front of Eddie, who had ordered it. He steals the glass of whiskey back at the same time.

"It happens every time."

"It happens most times."

"That isn't much better!" Eddie protests, even as he leans down and takes a long sip from the straw while they both get to their feet and leave the bar. Steve's hunting for a table they can snag, his eyes narrowed in focus. Eddie follows him blindly, his cocktail cupped in both hands.

"I'm serious, Steve! What is it about this adorable face—" He says, gesturing to himself, barely letting go of the straw to talk. It doesn't seem to faze him that Steve doesn't even glance back. "—Says I don't want to enjoy a Whammin' Bammin' Big Booty Colada?"

Steve comes to a stop, pausing his search for a moment to look back at Eddie. His expression seems unimpressed on the surface but Eddie can see his lips twitching up at the corners.

"We've had this conversation too many times, babe." He sighs halfheartedly and takes a quick sip of his own whiskey, eyes casting back out across the bar. "You have scary dog energy, you know this. You specifically dress like this on purpose."

Eddie picks up the pineapple wedged on the edge of his glass and bites into it, sending it down with another sip of his cocktail as Steve leads them further into the back of the bar. He finally spots a spare empty table.

"C'mon, I think I found one." Steve urges, one hand snaking back to make sure Eddie's following.

"Is it a crime to wish to not fall victim to stereotypes?" Eddie prattles on, following Steve duly by slipping his hand into Steve's outstretched one. His cocktail wobbles precariously as he takes another gulp.

"Like when that waitress gave me your awful black coffee! And you got my delicious delicacy that I paid extra hard-earned money for..."

i think a lot of people (especially those who haven’t read the books) are underestimating Hades

yes, he presents as the sassy queer uncle who’s done with his family’s drama, but he’s not “just some guy”

when his Helm is stolen, no one knows about it. he uses his own resources and orchestrates a plan to bring Percy to the underworld alive, all while managing an entire freaking kingdom

he doesn’t threaten war because he doesn’t have to and he knows it. unlike Zeus, he keeps a level head and thinks about the situation logically

think about Percy’s priorities throughout the show, look at what the flashbacks are teaching us about him and his relationship with others. think logically. this is a 12 year old kid who grew up with a single mom and no friends

his priority is his mom, it’s always been his mom and Hades knows that. Percy’s worst fear is losing his mother and Hades uses that against him

he takes Sally before Poseidon claims Percy because he has eyes everywhere. he already knew who Percy was and he already had a plan formed before Percy even set foot in camp

when he greets Percy and Grover he isn’t surprised, relieved, or agitated because he planned this. he knew that Percy would come to him whether by force or by his own choice (for my book readers, think about this in comparison to how Zeus reacts to the situation. Zeus comes off as desperate and angry, whereas Hades is at ease. annoyed, sure, but never panicked)

when he offers them pomegranate juice it’s in the guise of politeness and humour but it has an underlying meaning. Percy knows the stories about Hades and Hades knows that he knows. the pomegranate juice is a reminder, it’s Hades demonstrating his power without outright threatening Percy. it’s him going “I can make something as small as a pomegranate seed into a weapon” it’s him asserting his dominance and control over the situation

he leads them to a seating area clearly made for their arrival. another reminder that he knew they were coming and Sally stands, frozen in the middle of it as a reminder of what they have to lose

when he learns that it’s Kronos behind the robberies he immediately offers sanctuary to Percy, Grover, and his mom. Kronos, the king of titans, the father of all Gods, and a being who could once tear the world in two with the snap of his fingers, wants Percy, and Hades offers to protect him because he’s that powerful

so yes, Hades makes dad jokes and he talks in a way you wouldn’t expect an all-powerful being to talk, but he isn’t “just some guy”

he’s powerful, he knows it, and he shows just enough of that power to absolutely terrify Percy

Oooooooooh I like this

imagine if you read the lunar chronicles but started with fairest then the main series.

reading fairest, everyone already knows that she's the villain. when we see 15 year-old levana wake up from a nightmare on the day of her parents' funeral, we see an evil person. when you read that first part of fairest, you see a traumatized little girl that's being tormented by her sister.

as you begin fairest, you find out more about levana. how she's in love with a married guard, how she's scared of fire, how she's obsessed with the inner workings of her nation, how she longs to be in control of it, how she longs to be loved. you also see how she starts to have something like a friendship with evret. and after everything she's been through, you want her to become better. you want her to find love and be loved and grow past her trauma without hiding in someone else's face.

but then she forces evret to marry her and you realize she isn't a good person, that her dangerous thoughts can lead to dangerous actions.

however, after this, her life only becomes better. her sister is dead, she's the queen of luna, and she's in a (supposedly) happy relationship. and you think to yourself that maybe, maybe, she'll become better. she has everything she ever wanted. why would she harm anyone else to get what she wants?

but then she does it again. and again. and again. and at some point you realize that this is no longer the story of a girl who is trying to love and survive and heal. this is the story of a villain.

you start with cinder, where everyone describes levana as this cartoonishly evil villain. and you want to go inside and grab everyone and tell them that she's not evil, she's a hurt little girl who just wants to be loved. but you don't, because you realize that that is who she became. she is no longer your protagonist; she's now the antagonist, and you must learn to deal with it.

you then get to the end of winter, where levana is forced to meet the girl she spent decades trying to hide. and, in a sense, you're forced to meet her too. you wonder if things could've been different, if levana could've become the woman you initially wanted her to be. but then you realize that it doesnt matter. everyone must deal with the levana who has (and still will) kill(ed) to keep her control. at this point, there's no other levana that you can deal with. you can't see her as the little girl, you have to see her as the villain.
