Ok I'm just fantasizing about villain!grover and like. what if gaea's plan wasn't just to destroy civilization, but to destroy humanity itself? destroy their ability to create, to invent, to communicate? To turn them into animals, and thus, starve the gods of worship? And that, once that was accomplished, to do away with death itself? to create a paradise on paper, where there's no disease, no predators, no death or decay?

Grover, a young and inexperienced god, who just wants what's best for everyone, duped into supporting the creation of a pristine wasteland.

And Nico is his target.

The son of death, slain at the altar of life.

-

"Grover, stop." Percy's voice was shaking, but stern. Like a child trembling in every limb, determined to stand up to a playground bully.

Grover turned to Percy, mania shining in his eyes, once calm and brown, now bright, glowing green. No whites, no pupils, no nothing. "Why should I?" He asked. "Once this is over, there will be no death. No pain, no predators, no pestilence. A small price to pay for paradise."

Nico's eyes looked more shattered than ever, dark brown sand glittering with tears. He hung his head, defeated, his struggles against the vines that pinned him in place stopping suddenly, as his body went slack. "... Tell Hazel I love her."

"You're not dying today." Percy snapped. "I'm not letting you die today, you hear me!?" He turned back to Grover. "Dude, buddy, listen..." He chewed the inside of his cheek. "I can't fail him again. I can't let you go back on your word, you swore to protect him!"

"That was years ago! Why should I even listen to you!?"

"Because you're my best friend!" He uncapped his sword. "Please... Don't make me kill my best friend."

Dear Reddit and Twitter refugees:

You've probably already been told to change your icon, post and reblog stuff you like, Tumblr has holidays, etc.

But in case you weren't aware before....

When AO3 (Archive of Our Own) goes down for any reason, Tumblr flips the fuck out and panics. AO3 starts trending almost immediately.

Do NOT try to calm your neighbors down! Panicking with them until AO3 goes back up is the correct course of action.

Thank you and have a day.

nico going from saying he'd exchange his life for bianca to telling nyx, "there's nothing you could say or do that would make me give up my life!" makes me so so so happy you don't understand

Sirius, yelling in the great hall: your boyfriend is a slytherin, James?! He better not be related to me istg-

James: actually I think he's your third cousin

Barty and Dorcas on the other side of the hall: *choking on water*

Reg: *slowly melting into the ground*

Sirius, going through the family wreath in his mind: wait-

[mythology-freak]

Remus: Oooh, burn

remus: would you rather be pretty or funny

peter: pretty

james: funny

sirius: i don’t think i can choose… good thing i’ll never have to!

[mythology-freak]

James: a mosquito tried to bite me and I slapped it and killed it.

James: and I started thinking

James: like it was just trying to get food

James: what if I went to the fridge and it just slammed the door shut and snapped my neck

James: how would I feel?

Regulus:

Regulus: are you okay?

The only reason Nico didn’t call Bob is because he didn’t want him to suffer in Tartarus like he had to.

In House of Hades, Bob came for Percy but not Nico, who's supposed to have befriended him, in person.

Percy mentioned his name - he didn't even call - and Bob came jumping into Tartarus.

But he didn't assist Nico when he was half-dying (or had probably died and just self-resurrected with the DoD's absence) in there.

Why?

I don't think Bob, innocent and simple as he was, would refuse to help his friend.

So it means that Nico didn't call.

Huh. I wonder why.

Did he not call because he had been alone for so long that he'd forgotten? Did he not call because he didn't expect help, nor did he want it? Because he didn't want anyone he held dear to be in there, even when it meant being with him?

Oh. How lonely it must be to feel like that. You would go to the burning Hell for your friend, but you have no one to call when it's you who has fallen into one.

My dandelion, why did you forsake yourself.

The son of Hades

He so would

Sirius: I’ve lost my wand:(

Remus, looking at the wand that Sirius has used to put his hair up with: I’ll help you find it for 20 galleons

Remus, Peter and James being only children, freaking out whenever Regulus and Sirius fight and Lily going "oh that's normal, I once threw Petunia out a window" will never not be funny
