I think that my favorite thing about Michael's appearance on the death podcast (and the bonus episode) is that everything that came up in discussion was about life. The things--moments, people, places--that make up the sum total of life, of who we are, and that make Michael who he is. I love that it was about him reflecting on his own life so far--his struggles, his regrets, and his pleasures.
Most of all, I love that it was Michael talking so freely about things that he maybe hasn't had the space or ability to talk about before now. That much like David at the BAFTAs, Michael was finally letting go of something here, something he'd imposed on himself for so long. I love the lightness that he seems to have about him, and that a podcast with the theme of death (of all things) seems to have given him such an opportunity to focus on the joyfulness of life...

sorry mild hater moment incoming but . idk what it is with s/onadow fans (not all of them. just a very loud subsection) specifically and making every little thing shadow does about s/onadow even if its the biggest reach imaginable and immediately going "omg s/onadow" every time hes confirmed to be in some upcoming thing . or being so obsessed with the ship and letting it warp their perceptions of things so much to the point where they act like every little thing is a hint from sega that theyre in love for real. and they cant admit that its not canon or that just because they choose to interpret certain things romantically doesnt mean that thats actually what sega/the writers intended even if theres an obvious non so/nadow explanation for it
before people take this the wrong way i dont hate the ship i dont think that its completely baseless or that everyone who likes it is wrong and annoying or anything . but some of you look like this if im being honest

Chay goes to Wik's fanmeet and sees Kim in cat ears and a black leather choker .
Later when he performed on stage he wore his crop top and suit ensemble, along with the God awful choker.
He had never in his life had to hide an awkward boner with so many people around , but luckily noone was looking at him.
After the session ended , he found Kim in the vanity while he was just about to take off the choker after removing his rings.
Chay took Kim's hand in his own , turning him around in his chair to kiss the blood red glossy lip that Kim had yet to remove. "Can you keep it on till we reach the compound?" Chay asks , Kim turns around and looks at Chay's flushed cheeks and bright eyes in the mirror , and Chay leans down to kiss Kim's neck.

obsessed with the izzy vs everyone height difference, but esp steddyhands coded
like. izzy, who‘s still so deeply caught in fighting all these battles against parts of him the world deems unworthy. for whom his stature and bearing were hardwon battles fought over years, who can’t shake the echo of bigger, stronger men always zeroing in on him as the easy target - for any number of things, height, weight, voice, a thousand others - and who’s always fought these battles violently and relentlessly
and the only person he’s ever had anything approximating positive feelings about being bigger than him was ed, who used to say it was cute the way he could wrap himself around all of izzy and then some, and rest his chin atop his head to annoy him out of doing work, and who stopped touching him at all somewhere along the line (they’re working on that, these days)
who has all of this rushing in to bite him squarely in the ass when he finds himself one day dragged away and hefted up into stede bonnet’s toned???? arms away from a barfight, mind suddenly empty and frozen mid-calling someone a cunt, just.
well, ed used to do stuff like this, sometimes, before he fucked his knee. stuff that never failed to get izzy’s blood pumping and them both nearly stabbed with distraction, and stede fucking bonnet, gentleman pirate is quite frankly the last person izzy thought he’d be having this second revelation with this late in life, is all
but. oh. he’s staring up at the ponce, going on about something or other how smashing bottles over people’s heads isn’t a civilized way of solving disputes, and if izzy was thinking clearly he might say that it’s a sight more civilized than gutting them which he might’ve done instead, but is he ever not
because he’s been summarily deposited on the small brick wall outside, and bonnet is looming over him with both hands braced either side of izzy’s hips, and his brain is receiving exactly none of the words stede is sending, cause-
well. apparently he really fucking likes this

I know it's not plausible nor does it make sense with canon, but I just WANT there to be more fics of PJO characters experiencing snow for the first time. Like maybe Jason and Percy are out on a quest and it starts snowing overnight and Jason doesn't know WHAT is going on because he can feel it in the way he can feel the rain, but it's different too, it makes him feel chillier, makes him want to lay down and stare up and up at it.
Or maybe it's Will, who lived in Texas his whole life and then at camp, never seeing snow because he's always back home in Texas by the time Chiron lets some snow in for the campers to mess around in. One day it's too dangerous to let any campers go home at their normal time, and after speaking with his mom Will decides he wants to stay with his friends in New York all year (he's probably just graduated from school so he's taking a gap year or something, and he wants to hang out with Nico and Piper and all his other friends) and Chiron announces one night near the very end of November that there is a forecast for snow the next day, and that the borders will be adjusted to let it in. Will is so excited he barely gets to sleep because he's never SEEN snow before. He wakes his cabin up early enough that they're all grumpy about it (there's only like 2 other Apollo kids there with him but still) but they all go out and throw snowballs at each other and Will isn't dressed right, his hands are so cold they hurt but he's having the TIME OF HIS LIFE.
Nico who has only ever had bad memories of the snow - he first met Percy in the snow which led to him losing Bianca, the snow nearly killed him when he was on the run all alone, so forth and so forth - wakes up to snow in Camp Half-Blood and he's instantly not in the mood. He doesn't have gloves or a hat or a scarf or anything, so he just tries to layer on his thickest shirt and sweater and trudges to the dining pavilion, ignoring all of the kids around him screaming and laughing and having fun. He's miserable about it, and is going to just spend the day in his cabin with the doors and windows locked shut. What he doesn't anticipate is Jason and Will running up to his cabin and, first, throwing snowballs at his windows like assholes, until he stomps over and yanks open the door to yell at them. Then he doesn't expect them handing him orange and purple gloves, hat, a sweater, and even socks, which apparently they had both been saving just for him. They don't let him make excuses, they just drag him out the second he's dressed. At first he's snappish and a dick about it, even though now he's not even cold with all his bundled up layers, but then as the day goes and Will stuffs a snowball DIRECTLY into Jason's face and Connor Stoll starts selling Styrofoam cups of hot chocolate, two for a drachma, and Annabeth makes snow angels with a group of the younger kids who couldn't go home this year, he, ironically, starts to melt a little bit. Will definitely doesn't expect the snowball he gets to the face, from Nico's glove.
Piper who's from the beach, from Malibu, who's seen snow, but not really the kind you can play in, just the thinnest little dusting that makes things a little prettier. She hated snow because of it, because it always felt fucking contrived, like it was just there to make the place more appealing to tourists, so when she hears that Chiron is going to let snow into CHB she just rolls her eyes and throws her hands up and wonders what's even the fucking point of it, why even bother making everything pretty here when there aren't even tourists to impress?? But then she gets up the next day and she's only got one sibling staying year round so they sort of silently agree to spend the day together, and there's fun breakfast being served at the dining pavilion and Chiron has let everybody get out of their classes for the day so they can mess around in the snow. There are already kids out ice skating on the lake even though Percy keeps telling them it's not totally safe yet. Camp, for once, is full of kids running around and screaming because they're having fun, and something clicks for her and she goes oh. Okay, maybe I do get it. She hangs out with her sibling all day, and Leo and Jason when she can catch up with them, but her favorite thing is catching those little snowflakes on the fuzzy parts of her gloves and watching them dissolve, examining each little individual structure until it disappears.

truly you have to participate in the compliment economy. random compliments are so rare but it's not because you don't deserve them! our discomfort with engaging with other people makes it so that only some people take the initiative to give compliments in the first place, and that's really only if there's something standout about the person they're complimenting. it doesn't have to be that way. get comfortable with telling people that you like their clothes or their hair or that they have nice eyes or a good smile or a pretty laugh or that you admire the way they carry themself or like their music taste or just that you think they're nice or smart or cool. put a little delight out into the world! once you've done that, it opens up similar dialogues bit by bit... and as a secret special bonus, when you tell someone something nice, they're often very happy to have a chance to tell you something nice in return :)

Spider/Malakai : Delicate [reputation] — // Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you // Oh, damn, never seen that color blue // Just think of the fun things we could do // 'Cause I like you // This ain't for the best // My reputation's never been worse, so // You must like me for me // Yeah, I want you // We can't make any promises // Now can we, babe? // But you can make me a drink // Is it cool that I said all that? // Is it chill that you're in my head? // 'Cause I know that it's delicate //
(taylor hbh moodboard 5/?)
- the pinning of these two. My god. And when they finally get together it’s all secret kisses, hiding in empty hallways from their friends, wearing each others shirts but only they know about it, late night conversations, Malakai staying the night when Spiders parents aren’t home, Spider making them breakfast in the morning, Malakai coming to hug him from behind as he cooks
- they’d bring out the softness in each other. Malakai is outwardly more soft anyways, but he melts around Spider when it’s just the two of them, he’s a cheesy romantic and it always makes Spider blush. And Spider himself has this whole tough guy/jaded front he puts up but it gets completely torn down when it’s just him and Malakai, he is laughing til his ribs hurt and wrapping himself around Malakai at any given opportunity.
- “Is it chill that you're in my head? 'Cause I know that it's delicate” is perfect for both of them, it could be referring to how neither of them are out at school yet, or how Malakai has been through so much and Spider’s scared of hurting him, or their pinning phase where they’re still nervous to be flirting with one another or worried that they’ll mess things up
- Yeah, I want you. We can't make any promises. Now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink” before they actually get together and end up spending all night with each other at a party, drinking & talking, knowing they can’t take anything further in that moment, but they can pour another drink, they can stretch the time they have with more talking and more drinks and forgetting that they’re at a party and not just with each other (and they could blame what happened on the alcohol if people ask)

feeling the difference in my Weirdness of now vs 1-2 years ago is so incredibly bizarre to me. this isnt like high school where my memories are largely static. this is like. College Callie. i remember faer. u go back a few years and i wouldnt even swear. i was too afraid to post cause i didnt have anythin to say. now i STILL dont but that will never stop me from having the Poster's Affliction. i still openly gay pined on everyone around me but in a much more reserved way. and god forbid anyone see what i was Really like. i went from "im praying nobody finds out what im weird about ever or even thinks of me as anything other than a perfect angel with no interests" to "i think a ttrpg session with my friends where we're all playing out the tropes we're Weird About would fix me." speaking of my friends i didnt used 2 kiss those on the lips for fun.
my egg didnt crack when i started transitioning, i think. it crack when i entered (checks notes) (double checks) (utterly bewildered) (looking up at the audience and back down at my notes and back up) (clearing my throat) (waving away the audience's anticipating chatter) the object show community
