“You’re freaking the first years out,” I snicker as he comes over to me.

“As if you don’t do that literally all of the time.” He smirks. “You know what would really freak ‘em out?” Garrick raises his eyebrows. I start shaking my head already. Whatever idea he’s got—and especially if it’s what I think it is—I’m not sure I’m up for it right now. But it would be fun…

“Come on, they’ve gotta learn sometime.”

...,,,...

AKA, Lieutenants Xaden and Garrick try (and succeed) to scare some first years by staging a fake fight between themselves. Just a oneshot fun friendship badass fighting moment.

Ok can we talk abt how at the beginning of wyfilwma, Penelope’s and Ody’s instruments sort of swirl around each other lightly as he’s opening the door like they’re playing with each other for the first time in ages, theyre checking on each other, not quite together yet but getting accustomed to being intertwined with the other’s essence so closely again- i just— aghh

I'm having a field day figuring out formatting on AO3. It feels like I'm coding (I hate coding but it is what it is)

on the other hand, their vintage game must be AWESOME

thinking about hand me down culture in camp half-blood. how are the year-rounders getting new clothes, they only seem to have camp-related tshirts in the store. where are the pants pajamas socks underwear. what does getting clothes passed down from your older siblings look like when your older siblings are an unbroken line going back 4000 years. everyone is just passing around the same 9 pairs of jeans from 1963. it is vital to have campers who go home for the school year because that's the only way new clothes can enter the ecosystem. at any given moment there is a new camper wearing a waterland tshirt.

my blog is a safe space for me. the rest of you are in danger i think

Just started The Message, by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and because it isn't my book and I can't annotate it, but I still want to record my thoughts somewhere because so far it is literarily AWESOME, I am gonna do a little running commentary! (its not like i have any followers to annoy anyway!) :)

Anyway, first observation:

pg 7: "Because I really did believe that Tony Dorsett was magic. He was five foot eight, built ordinary as one of my uncles. But when he slid the lone-starred helmet over his head, he transformed into something untouchable."

I love the imagery with the helmet changing him here! It rings of Hector of Troy and him representing or becoming the brutal unfamiliarity of war and battle, when inside he's just a man. (Also EPIC: The Musical Odysseus and the helmet thing, in "Just a Man" / "The Horse and the Infant" which i absolutely adore, in which that theme is a corollary of the original Hector motif from the Iliad or, Troy Story, as we lovingly call it sometimes (at least, the Overly Sarcastic Productions girl and I do).)

erica, looking outside the window: stiles, jackson and isaac are shouting at each other again. Do you think we should do something?

boyd: yeah.

ah yes sweet music to my ears

(I guess we continue until the story reaches its natural resolution or if we can’t think of any ideas for it…?)

[shoulda-been-a-redhead]

Are you and Viria actually plotting the comic or evil(awesome) or are you just tossing it back and fourth to each other like, "Look what I did! Your turn. :I"

Haha the latter, it’s more fun that way. I have as much idea of what she’ll come up with as you do (but I did try to set up plot points for her to pick up on). This has spiraled into a comic improv exercise (which is why it took me a while to plan)

[shoulda-been-a-redhead]

Dear Viria,

I hope you weren’t waiting long! I brought roses uwu

Love, Minuiko
