brainworms trio of rachel, percy, and castor. they are literally so smart but so freaking stupid

rachel: so what were you not to do?

percy: almost die,,,

castor: and what did you do?????

percy: almost die….

-

rachel, a time traveler: so i was thinking of picking up tarot? yknow because i’m an oracle now and all

percy and castor looking at each other, both also time travellers, seeing how this could go horribly wrong but also make them a bunch of money: go on

-

castor, waking up in the middle of a sleepover to see rachel and percy just staring at each other in the darkness, both of their eyes kinda glowing: uhhh

-

castor and percy, holding hands at the lake

rachel: fucking finally

[spiderbats]

headcanons i think the dumbass duo (percy and rachel) would love to do

watch cult classic movies with too buttery popcorn mixed with both skittles, m&ms, and reese’s pieces

go get slushies, percy gets blue raspberry, rachel gets cheery, a whole lot of jokes about that are made

percy in rachel’s phone - “reddit cryptid”

rachel in percy’s phone - “annoying rich kid syndrome”

rachel experimented with henna on percy’s skin consistently.

she drew a tic tac toe board on his forearm and they played with a blue and red pen

percy takes rachel to the different food stands around new york city and they create a ranking

rachel drags him to different art and history museums and teaches it to percy like an australian nature documentary

it is surprisingly effective

rachel likes to rant about how much she hates shakespeare even though she literally quotes him out of rage.

percy thinks it is hilarious and has unfortunately picked up the habit of quoting it back at her to see her fume

listen the potential of a deep, well balanced friendship between rachel and percy is soemthing rick is a coward for never showing (to my knowledge).

like, it’s been awhile since i’ve read heroes of olympus and after but doesn’t rachel just kinda make an appearance and drop off the face of the earth unless plot???

rachel and percy are bffs and i will take no criticism

that moment when the attachment issues from your crush in your previous life attaches to you and now you have attachment issues and only six real friends. and three of them don’t even remember when you were friends, one of them is still a tree, one of them is somewhere in new york, and the last one died before you became friends with them last time.

It would be so funny if Percy decided to continue pretending that he has prophetic abilities from Poseidon.

predict and prevent random little things like the broken knees of Kyle Knowles and the lost Mitchell doll, talk about something that will happen soon as if it had already happened, and then be surprised and ask for forgiveness.

And Percy looks at the water for a long time, for a really long time he just sits on the shore of the lake and looks into the water as if it tells him the secrets of the universe.

What fun would that be?

oh my goodness that is freaking fabulous idea you are such a big brain genius

I would eat up a well written, high budget, 22-24 episode season of Young Avengers. Just hear me out.

In the comics, the YA are formed by Iron Lad (a child Kang variant) in the absence of the Avengers. Iron Lad forms the team to stop older Kang (aka what he is going to become).

Let's keep this as an underlying season long plot. It gives us time and development for Kang with minimal Majors - obviously, a younger actor would play Iron Lad.

The 22-24 episode season gives us a ton of time to get to know characters we met (Stature, Ms. Marvel, Kate, America), characters we kinda know (Patriot, the Maximoff Twins), and new characters.

The whole time, we're getting to see everyone develop as heroes while seeing their real lives as teenagers. Character development is the name of the game in this fake show. How are they balancing their two lives? Who's screwing things up? Who's got it figured out?

Fun and logical cameos from the adult heroes. Maybe an episode takes the team to a location that another hero already looks after.

Give me some team romance and teen drama.

Give me an of the week format. Mystery of the week. Monster of the week. Nothing that requires significant adult Avenger interference. Mostly low-stakes conflict.

Hints of the Iron Lad/Kang conflict are sprinkled throughout and eventually dealt with in the finale.

The Marvels/Loki 2.6 spoilers below

Kid Loki continues the Loki tradition of reluctant Kang/Loki alliances. He shows up with Iron Lad through whatever multiversal shenanigans get Iron Lad here.

Honestly, let God of Stories Loki/the TVA have helped to orchestrate this whole thing somehow. Just hint at it.

Maybe it's just Kate and Kamala at first. In episode 1 they add Cassie. We see other characters in their own stories being solo heroes; maybe they are recruited later, maybe they go the the YAs asking to join.

Something was wrong with Percy, Grover despaired. Something happened in that museum room a month ago. Something more than that Kindly One who went in and never came back out. Something that changed Percy to the core.

Something that Grover was out of time to figure out.

Aboard The Princess Andromeda, an unexpected string is cut, so the Fates have to start all over at the beginning of the tale of the soon-to-be great hero, Perseus Jackson.

Here are some fic recs featuring Aro/ace spec Neil :)

Swinging Along The Z Axis

Andrew asks Neil to explain how he swings, and Neil does his best to understand it himself.

men, abort mission (that is the silver lining in my cloudy disposition)

The recorded number of times someone hit on Neil Josten and got nowhere, and the one time Andrew didn't even have to try.

when you are close to me (i shiver)

Neil knows he's definitely feeling something. Unfortunately for him, he has no idea what the feeling is.

Unfortunately for Dan, she won't get to make out with her hot boyfriend until Neil figures it out.

Matt's just here for the ride.

when you are close to me (the thumping in my chest remix)

Neil knows that Andrew Minyard definitely makes him feel something. Unfortunately for him, he has no idea what the feeling is.

The Talk

Andrew is supposed to come over to Neil's place for the first time since they started dating, but Neil forgot about the implications behind 'coming over' and is overwhelmed with what he thinks is expected of him to keep the relationship going.

figure it out

Andrew tells Neil to experiment with his sexuality and Neil is having absolutely none of it.

in bars, in cars

“I guess I just don’t understand it. How can you just be attracted to a complete stranger?”

“That’s the appeal,” Andrew retorts.

“What?”

“It’s a simple transaction. No complications.”

“Complications? Like what?”

“Conversation, obligations, baggage,” Andrew says dismissively. “Annoying habits. Emotional intimacy. That sort of thing.”

Or: Andrew and Neil meet at bars and talk about life's mysteries.

Just closed eyes with nothing behind

Sometimes, things happen first and anxiety follows. Other times, anxiety happens first and your brain tries to fill in the blanks of your memory. On bad days, it all happens at once.

Neil has a bad day and struggles with his sense of self.

The Shooting Stars and Silver Moons

Nicky made it seem like this was their latest drinking game and then gestured to himself. “Gay,” he said as if this was news to anybody and then gestured to Aaron on his right who stared at him blankly. “Alright, Aaron’s straight. Nobody’s surprised. Moving on.”

Pulling Teeth

There was a moment of silence, where Neil caught his breath and Nicky tried to digest what the younger man was asking of him. Eventually, he spoke. “Just to be clear, you do know I’m not a dentist?”

Disclaimer: this has absolutley nothing to do with teeth.

You know what would be fun? If having a Persona leaked into the rest of your life. Well, maybe not for the users, but it would be fun for us.

In Persona 2, Reiji Kido and Kenta Yokouchi are both door-to-door salesmen who work for the same company, but Kenta is successful where Reiji is not. Kenta’s Persona Mara induces greed in customers, while Reiji’s Persona Mot induces fear.

Imagine if we saw that elsewhere. Like, what if having a Persona made you fluent in the language they’d know? (And you didn’t lose it if you got an Ultimate Persona?)

Since all the starting Personas in Persona 3 are Greek, SEES uses Ancient Greek to pass messages during the day. Sometimes at the dorm, they wind up chatting and don’t realize that they switched to Greek; this happens a few times when Ryoji is over.

Ryuji realizes that English class is suddenly a lot easier with Captain Kidd. He understands everything the teacher says! Except his teacher has no idea how to grade his essays, which appear to have been written on Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Not just language things, too. There’s some inconvenient stuff as well.

One fine spring day, Sae asks Makoto why she hasn’t cooked meat in weeks, and Makoto can’t answer. It’s only after she checks the calendar that she realizes that it’s Lent, when meat is traditionally forbidden.

It turns out that Makoto’s been subconsciously following rules laid down by the Church, because of Johanna. She doesn’t get the rules that interfere with her own set of morals, such as anything involving the subjugation of women, nor ones that are unavoidable, such as not wearing mixed fabrics, but she does wind up following the rest. When she goes grocery shopping, she doesn’t think, “I will not cook meat,” she thinks, “fish would be good for dinner.”

Yusuke can’t stand hot baths anymore, because Goemon was executed by being boiled alive. Luckily, he’s not bothered by cold anymore.

Tatsuya and Katsuya wake up at dawn every morning because of Apollo and Helios, which is good for early shifts, but they also tend to start fading after sunset. Maya, on the other hand, now has a seemingly erratic sleep schedule because the moon rises and sets at different times.

Baofu is always late because like Odysseus, something always stalls him. 

Some of the Phantom Thieves, and also Jun and Junpei, keep finding their hands in other peoples’ pockets because their Personas were pickpockets. Or they don’t notice at all and find stuff in their bags that they don’t remember buying. Yusuke finds that he keeps giving money to beggars, but it’s always money that he doesn’t remember stealing, since Goemon gave back to the poor.

But there’s fun stuff, too.

Futaba now knows dark magic. She almost makes a prototype Demon Summoning Program, but gets bored halfway through and stops. It is implied that this was divine intervention; the Nahobino is seem outside her window, sighing in relief.

Junpei starts brewing potions as energy drinks and sleep aids, since Hermes Trismegistus is an alchemist.

Jun subconsciously bends time around himself, so he’s never late, never has to wait long, and he always gets his homework and paperwork done much faster. However, he knows that his bosses usually measure work done by time spent, so he’s figured out how to work around that.

One day, the modeling company asks Ann to show off her special talent, and since ‘whip techniques’ gets vetoed, she blurts out that she sings. The manager expects some cute pop music, and is startled when she starts bellowing Italian opera.
