why does Aemond prefer girls and why does luke prefer boys? I just find it interesting
aemond is always more hesitant around boys cuz he knows how terrible seemingly innocent boys can grow up to be. he doesn’t dislike his sons, far from it, but with them he feels more of a need to be strict so they will grow up right and be good men. he has a harder time emotionally connecting with them. he doesn’t have this issue with his daughters. aemond already had a dormant protective instinct towards women bc how he saw his mother and helaena treated so him having daughters sets off that protectiveness. he’s more willing to have his guard down when with his daughters and it allows him to connect with them emotionally a lot easier. valerion is a special case because since he resembles luke so much, he triggers the same specific protectiveness he has for luke. basically, aemond doesn’t understand how to resonate emotionally with a son as a father since he never had anything like that to emulate so he struggles
luke connects better with sons because he grew up exclusively with brothers. he doesn’t actually show preferential treatment between his sons or daughters but in a weird way, he had the same complex as aemond: he knows how easily boys can become ill men in a society like theirs and he wants to preserve their kindness. luke emulates his own mother a lot and rhaenyra raised all sons. he’s just a boymom at heart

I had the dumbass idea
So it’s modern day, right? Nick and Jay are roommates (omg they were roommates)
And like— Nick is a fucking gamer. Bc ofc he fucking is. So one night he’s playing Undertale and he’s fighting sans or some shit. But he can’t get past him so he rage quits. Jay is over here like “buddy, are you ok???”
Nick is like “no this stupid skeleton keeps HANDING ME MY ASS”
And so Gatsby’s all like “whyyyy don’t you let me try.”
Let me tell you, Nick is hesitant at first. This is the very same man who was raging at animal crossing but he decides “why not??”
He defeats it on the first try. He was all like “AHA! This how you show a skeleton a bad time, old sport.” And just walks off like nothing happened

My favorite thing about Annabeth is her wardrobe.
Cause like, Rick simplifies her clothes in a way a man would, and you can tell.
Cause in EVERY book, from The Lightning Thief to Chalice, she’s in the goddamn CHB shirt. With like some shorts or cargo pants. Nothing more, nothing less.
He’s made improvements over the years, giving her some other clothes. But he’ll always come back to old faithful.
Like, he most definitely did it on accident, but he made her so Adam Sandler and I love it

The best fics are the ones that recognize that although Luke Skywalker may APPEAR on the outside to be a normal friendly twink who happens to have cool powers, especially when contrasted with such ship partners as Boba or Din or even Han, he is arguably the scariest person alive in the galaxy around the prequel era. AND, crucially, he is also a fundamentally weird guy. This man was homeschooled on a rural farm his entire life and then apprenticed to a swamp gremlin who showed him how to tap into the cosmic power of the universe. He blew up the death star age 19, killing approx 2 million-ish Imperials. He is a vortex of Force power that can communicate with the ghosts of dead Jedi. He’s staring into the distance and mumbling to himself and doing Yoda aphorisms and casually pulling out the “yeah I could crush that guy into a paste with my mind (:” and nobody around him knows what to do with that. I think he is a character who has very little frame of reference for how a Jedi or a person in general is supposed to act and there is some thing about him that is by necessity really fucking weird and a little scary but he’s so nice that it can throw you off the scent a little bit. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

re-read the 200s and I love their awkward phase in-between animosity and rekindled friendship :) bakugo has an awkward way of expressing his interest and worries regarding deku’s quirk and deku in general it’s so funny to follow
