i am once again thinking about Percy and Annabeth and their respective relationships with their step-parents, particularly how the other views the other's dynamic with their step-parents.

Because there's a really interesting subtle thing that we see which is when Annabeth talks about her step-mom to Percy, Percy's assumption is that Annabeth's step-mom is like Gabe. He just presumes that because that's what's familiar with him and based on his own experiences he assumes their situations are similar.

But then when Percy actually meets Annabeth's step-mom (and her dad) he realizes their situations aren't at all the same. He was expecting another Gabe, but instead he just found a genuinely caring family that was just struggling to find their footing with one another.

The interesting thing is that this implies an inverse - especially with what we know about how Percy and Annabeth describe their experiences. Percy doesn't really talk about Gabe ever. To anyone. Grover knows the whole picture there but he's basically the only one of Percy's friends who does. As far as we know, unless Grover told her at some point, Annabeth doesn't know about Gabe. She knows he was a jerk, but Percy out loud doesn't ever really get into details about it. She knows they didn't get along and eventually Gabe disappeared and Percy basically never spoke of it again. Presumably, Annabeth thinks Percy's dynamic with Gabe was like her dynamic with her step-mom, like how Percy had thought their situations were the same. Especially given we know Percy assumed their situations were the same and likely spoke about it as such if it ever came up.

Like. That's such an interesting tiny aspect of their dynamic that never gets touched upon. Annabeth likely doesn't know about this very core traumatic experience Percy endured before they met because she's operating under the assumption that their family just was a little rocky like hers was.

many my chemical romance songs beg the simple but maddening question:WHO IS SHE ??????

I like the subtle world building implications in the differences between the usher foundation and the magnus institute. if the usher foundation and the magnus institute were meant to be direct parallels to each other, then the usher foundation would have been established in like the 1870s in boston or nyc, but no, it's in dc and was founded no earlier that 1955, and that gives me less "old respectable academia" vibes and more "insane reagan era project comissioned to weaponize the supernatural in the cold war that didn't work but was never officially shut down."

I want to know, was anybody back in the pre-Sun and Moon days buying how marketing was portraying Aether as the good guys when we had two kids that both looked like Lusamine running around with suspicious Pokemon (especially the experimental chimera in a restraining mask) and the known UBs heavily resembling Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladion?

There's also this part of an interview (forget the source tho, and couldn't find it trying to search it, otherwise I would have linked it 😔) from a long while back with Ohmori talking about Team Skull where he keeps stressing they're the bad guys:

But we had just had an evil team try to commit genocide in the previous generation, so I had serious doubts that they would ever be the true threat, that they'd de-escalate the villains that much. Aether was so sketchy just right out of the gate and gave me Plasma vibes (tho in a more legit organization way than in a culty way like Plasma), but I was definitely off with a few of my other guesses about them, since I was big into the theory the Aether family were the UBs.

“.. your hat is tilted.”

that was the first thing click had said when he had seen you, and that was all that left his mouth, at first. taken aback, you flipped around to face the disembodied voice and almost fired back a quip — almost, until you realized there was not a hint of animosity in the way he looked at you; no, only a genuine desire to help.

he blinked at you, once, twice, eyes flitting from your hat to your face and back again. you took note of his hands, blurry and gray; the way they inched towards his camera for a split second before dropping back down, as if his fingers had a mind of their own and wished to capture even such a mundane moment as this. (this was something you’d come to know as time went on, and with it you would realize it was not as mundane as you thought.)

you dipped your head. your fingers flitted to the brim and adjusted it — once, twice, to the side and a bit forward, back a quarter of an inch. he nodded, then chased off the gesture like it was a critter with a quick “that’s good.”

you turned to face him. his hands finally came to rest on his camera, and he raised it to one eye and closed the other. he did not ask you to smile. you did regardless.

Today is very special

I made this while actually on the verge of passing out (this week has absolutely been kicking my ass), so hopefully you guys can forgive me for the absolute dogshit quality of this piece

thinking about.... the tragedy of reality benders. of being able to bend the world to your will but not knowing if anyone who gets close to you is doing it on purpose, if theyre caring about you on purpose, if they love you on purpose, because what if you're secretly manipulating them the whole time? what if they never wanted to be near you to begin with?

what if theyre not even real?

I did it again, this one is less quality tho, I did it in my free time because I need a break of my life sometimes

some of us want gay rep, but how many of us were ready for the gay representation of surreal anal sex imagery that kunihiko ikuhara (yes, the director of Revolutionary Girl Utena) used in the musical tv show Sarazanmai in 2019 to represent the relieving of isolation, attachment, and shame (in addition to just having explicitly homosexual characters)??? Cuz I certainly didn't know that's what I'd been wanting all along
