Thinking about how Dani's episode is called Kindred Spirits, which implies that her unique narrative role is to mirror Danny and act as a foil to him, and then the episode is like "Here's some ✨superficial similarities✨. She is now going to leave the plot entirely and be 💖homeless💖"

It’s actually realistic for Arthur to have so many friends in fanfictions.

Merlin is the guy who comes from a small village, after all, with only one person as a best friend and a single parent as a mother. Then, he arrives in Camelot and meets all these people, who are so fond of him, and he gets into the circle.

Now, think about it.

Especially in Modern AUs, Arthur has many friends, BUT, what’s unrealistic is how Arthur interacts with them.

He wouldn’t be the jock, the popular guy from the dorm next to people, who drinks beer and has these great frat parties, and who’s hot and confident and blonde and hits on everything that breathes.

No.

Arthur has no idea he has friends.

He doesn’t know they love him, he doesn’t know they care for him, he doesn’t know he can ask for favours, he doesn’t know he isn’t a burden, he doesn’t know any of it, because he has an horrible father figure who blames him for his mother’s death (although not explicitly) and tells him he has to meet every possible human’s exceptations, who forbade him many things while growing up, who gave Arthur a strict diet and a curfew, who never was home, and for that, Arthur doesn’t know how to socialise.

So he would have many friends, but they would have to remind him that he’s not so alone anymore, that he can hang out with them, that they can help him with school work/job related things.

Arthur would stay silent during hang outs, probably drink orange juice, because he doesn’t like the taste of alcohol, go to bed early and get his heart all warm, whenever he receives a ‘good night’ text or ‘I’m glad you’re home safe’ text, from either Gwen or Leon or Morgana.

And once Merlin comes by and joins in, Arthur would be impossible to deal with, a constant stuttering but arrogant idiot with an ego as big as a castle. He loathes not being able to socialise, because now Merlin thinks he can somehow flirt with him, and that’s just not right.

Arthur becomes a tomato with flaring nostrils and audacity, because ‘how dare Merlin say I’m adorable when I blush, I don’t blush’ and Merlin would be scared of being left alone, like he was back in his small closed minded town, with only one best friend and a mother who sacrificed everything for him, with a father who has abandoned him, and zero knowledge on how to interact with girls.

Arthur and Merlin are the same, but they simply decide to act differently on it.

And this is realistic to me.

My Feemor proposal

A popular headcanon for Feemor is that he's a Jedi Shadow. Shadows are spies and basically detectives. Feemor's lineage has a reputation for being eccentric, infamous, and finding trouble everywhere they go. So, walk with me here, Feemor's an eccentric, famous, blonde detective.

This is Feemor.

Okay, I know we're not here trying to over-compare, but since people have started to do it (because like, it's right there), there are a lot of reasons I liked that scene between Sophie and Harry, and one of them was that "one true thing" would not be the way that Nate described Sophie? Because that's categorically not what Sophie was to Nate.

Thank you @sammroo167!

For Nate, Sophie was a master (con) artist and mystery to solve who then became his (and the team's) compass and partner (in crime). At some point, he got comfortable enough with who she chose to be that he let go of trying to figure out who she was. Looking more at the present and future than the past.

Really the only honest thing left over from Nate's old life was Maggie. He lost everything else, and then he completely aligned himself with the Leverage crew philosophy. He lost his son. He'd lost his mother before the show started. He lost his father, who was also a criminal. His only family became the crew.

And Harry...is a person who has lost but has not lost everything? His daughter is alive. His mother is alive. A lot of his situation is not caused by circumstance the way it was for Nate. He came from lawful good roots and yet aligned himself with lawful evil before he tried to change and met the crew. It's less all-or-nothing for him the way it is for the original crew members. And he does get a choice in what he allows to cross that line, in a way that Nate never really did.

For Sophie, the demarcation is very clear (though considering Sophie's history, I'd take what she says with a bag of salt): "real" life on one side, criminal life on the other. 99.99% of her contacts are other criminals, though she has a flair (as Hardison points out) for having complicated emotional relationships with people on the other side of the law.

And for Harry? We watch him try to accept that line for himself in the finale, that he lives on top of that line now as a result of his own decisions, as a result of what he wants for himself - and conclude that he's mostly okay with that, for now.

As long as the only thing allowed to cross that line is Sophie (with her permission, of course).

Percy could have and should have gotten into any college he wanted

This started out as a hc and then I took it and ran.

Full disclaimer, I have not read the new pro trilogy about the college rec letter adventures. I do not think this is necessary as im not actually talking much about them.

Okay first of all I do know about the "this is your debt for existing" bs and if I was percy I would tell the gods to go screw themselves and never lift a finger for them again.

second of all I understand the appeal of NRU because of the safety it provides. that is the only counter argument I will accept.

see more under the cut

Percy could have and should have gotten into any college he wanted.

Like okay, maybe not an Ivy League, but come on. The dude is smart!

And we know he’s on the swim team, so he for sure could’ve gotten a scholarship. (Do American universities look at swimming as a scholarship sport? They can in this world)

Also I dont know much about the American college admission essays, but one girl wrote about her parents dying I think? Like hating the letter 'S' So like it’s really random and personalised?

Dude’s literally famous. He’s known to have been kidnapped at 12 and was the ‘hero’ of the situation by getting into the ‘gunfight’ with Ares. Also he’s an insane story teller. You cant tell me he wouldn’t write a hell of an admissions essay about that.

AND he’s a published author. All while he’s in high school. I feel like universities should be knocking down his door begging him to study there.

Hes actually got an insane application. And okay, he might not have the best marks. But that is because what we've seen in majority of the series is him not being taken seriously because of his disabilities, and not being given any accomodations. You just know after Paul got involved, things got better for him. And you know once he got some real support, teachers would right him such good rec letters for a hell of a lot less than the gods are asking for.

Also! Percy is a talker. he may be an introvert, but he's a people person all the same. He knows about to talk to people, and get the outcome he wants. And he's got personality, and he's pretty easy on the eyes, so ive heard. Not to objectify or anything. I think he would actually kill an interview if he had to do one. (this ive only seen on tv, I have no idea if its real or not)

Paired up with whatever advocacy work he does with Rachel and grover. (you know he does) Hes actually such a well rounded student.

To sum up:

percy would have a hell of a college application

he could probably talk his way into getting enrolled in an interview

he would get better and easier rec letters from mortal teachers

he should tell the gods and their extra conditions to F off and pursue a college with real life credentials that the rest of the mortal world knows exists.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

On the supposed breaching of a previous agreement

After so much misinformation has been debunked, the one item I’ve seen repeated again and again is that there was a prior agreement which Carlos supposedly broke - but Charles gave no actual information about what the agreement was.

Surely the logical conclusion to draw is that we simply don’t know what the agreement was, and so we cannot cast shade on either Charles nor Carlos off the back of the statement. We simply do not know.

Specifically, while we do know Charles subjectively thought an agreement was broken, we do not have any ability to evaluate whether that conclusion is objectively true. Indeed, we don’t even know whether Charles, when making that statement, even had all the facts to hand (given he is not privy to Carlos’ radio messages and debriefing had not yet happened).

In this context the statement from Charles cannot be taken as objective truth. At most, it is a clear indication he was feeling subjectively frustrated.

The response I’ve seen from all over social media seems to be “let’s take Charles’s word for it that trust was breached, even if we don’t know what the agreement was”.

We have no facts. We have no information. We cannot draw conclusions as to what the agreement was, and therefore we cannot know if Carlos actually breached it.

Until (if ever) we have more information, Charles’ comment can only be taken as evidencing his frustration, and no more.

i want a pjsk event about all the third years going through college admissions hell

For anyone that doesn't know LoL's updating their Lore Tips on the League client and the update will include Arcane canon. From the data mine LoL confirmed Ekko's parents are alive, or at least in Act 1 of s1 anyway. Apparently it says, "When Ekko's parents were at work, they sent him to Benzo's workshop, where he tinkered on his first inventions.".

That statement does track with the one time Ekko mentioned his parents in Firelights Reignite.

Even though this lore addition feels pretty last minute I am very curious to see Inna and Wyeth in Arcane's world, because they're very much normal people with exploitative factory jobs as engineers in their earlier lore.

I'm inclined to think they're still alive because if they were dead, it'd be weird that Ekko has a whole wall dedicated to other people in his life, and his parents weren't included. It's even weirder that in an alt!timeline where everything's better neither he nor any of his friends mention his parents, he doesn't even go visit them. Maybe later lore will say they worked in one of the mining colonies Jayce mentioned?

As elated as I am about the Haikyū!! news... I'm simultaneously bracing myself for the most horrendous takes and the most abysmal mischaracterisation from Haikyū!! TikTok once the VS the Little Giant film comes out.

idk who needs to hear this but it's something I would like to tell my younger self so: People telling you that after school you should pursue something you already have an interest and a talent in mean well, but they're not always right. Because sometimes, it makes you just pick something you think you'll be good at because you're afraid of failure.

And you'll enjoy it, mostly, because you were already interested in that stuff! But at the end of it all you might end up like me at the end of a degree that I took way too long to complete, not feeling like you learned much because you were largely coasting on existing skills the whole time. And with a view to careers that aren't rosy in the current economy, and that you don't really want to be doing. Like, sure, I still generally like the field I studied. But I also picked my studies purely for content, and not at all for what I wanted to do with them when I was done. And now I'm looking at the jobs that my degree will make available to me and I don't want to do any of them. I'd be decent at them! And fuck, I'll go wherever they take me! But for the most part, it's not work that i consider valuable. I always wanted to feel useful. And most of the work being done in the sector I am qualified for... doesn't feel like helping people. It does help people, in some ways, and it'd be bad not to have it. But I will never feel as immediately useful to people as I always wanted to be. And I think a part of me knew that - that's why I didn't pick that course of study initially! But then I flunked out of that and thought, well, it's because you didn't already like what you were doing. And yeah, it was easier. But also, I'm probably taking so long to finish my master's because this line of thinking made me pick something that I will never enjoy as much in the workplace as I did as a student.

If you have something you're really curious about and you want to do, you should do it! But if you don't have that, and you finish school with lots of different things that all hold a similar level of interest... idk, before you just pick something you think you'd be good at, just have a good long think about whether you're picking it because you genuinely think you'll enjoy something more if it's easier, or if you're just making the choice that seems least scary right now. Because, yes, there are always second chances - but your choice still has a big impact on your life. Especially if you're making choices out of fear, because it takes a lot to admit to yourself that you made a mistake, and you will surprise yourself with how long you can stick with a bad thing just because it seems less scary than making a big change.

further to a topic i saw the other day idk how many times i can see the words dead dove on a blog and then look at the tags and go ? this truly just needs a trigger-warning and doesn't warrant the dead dove tagline.
