johnny, down on one knee in the middle of a corner store, ring pop in hand (you’d dropped it a few aisles back, he says), telling you that meeting like this again has to be fate.
and you’re a little confused, because you’ve never met this man, ever.
you’re just here on a snack run. it’s nearly midnight. you want to get home, kick up your feet, get out of these smelly clothes and maybe stop working those damn double shifts—
but people are starting to stare, and you’re sure the last thing he’d want is to make a fool of himself, so you accept his “proposal” with a thin smile (he makes you do it again while he’s paying for your things, ‘like ye mean it, wife’).
and since he paid, you let him wave to the other barely cognizant customers on the way out. let him slip the ring onto your finger under the half-dead light of a street lamp, blabbering on and on about remote honeymoon spots he’s got in mind. ye’ll love ‘em, bonnie. m’sure. let him look at you a little too lovingly (love? are you sure?) before he sucks the candy into his mouth, drool leaking onto your fingers when your senses catch up to you and you yank your hand away with a pop.
he says he’s sorry when he sniffs out that rancid air of fear about you. clasps both of your hands in his, nosing at your fingers as if in prayer. says he’s sorry, you just looked so miserable, and he’ll never do anything like that without asking ever ever ever again.
you feel a little bad. a touch concerned, too. but you likely won’t be seeing him again, so you try and play the part of the dutiful wife so you can get the fuck home without having to feel like you’ve just kicked a hungry dog. johnny—he said his name was johnny—seems happy enough when you say you trust him. happy enough for you to slip your hands away and mention that you have to be up early tomorrow for work, so you have to go.
you’re not sure you like the look in his eyes when you bid him goodnight.
it’s probably nothing.

rahhh pjo headcanons part uno
leo is a no sabo kid 🙏🙏 THINK ABOUT IT the only person in his life who spoke spanish to him died when he was still little - he went to school in america and therefore grew up learning english!! he can understand spanish if it's spoken to him but he can't really speak it himself besides a few phrases and words IT MAKES SENSE
annabeth buys two copies of all her favourite books so she can have one copy that she can annotate and highlight and dog-ear the pages and one that she keeps perfectly pristine on her shelf. if I had the money I would totally do that too
annabeth hated twilight sparkle from my little pony and then when she got a little bit older she realised that twilight was actually her. like literally her. that's why she hated her
jason hates toffee with a flaming passion he cannot stand it he will gag dramatically and aggressively if anyone eats toffee around him. the texture and the smell make him feel sick and so he does not eat it ever, he would rather get struck by lightning than eat a piece of toffee
hazel used to really like bubblegum in the 40s when it was new and now that its cheaper and more refined in modern america, she chews it all the time
leo sticks post-it notes EVERYWHERE like literally everywhere on every surface ever. he labels things he writes little notes-to-self he makes sure he remembers to do things by sticking a post-it note on it. he also tried to have them colour coded by importance but they all ended up labeled as "super important" so it didn't really work

Making a Coworker edit for my birthday coming up because they were released on my birthday and they're the listener of my fave and first Redacted bf so I take it as a sign from the universe that I am them and they are me 😊
Adding onto this, Fooliverse David is technically released on my birthday, but due to timezones, it will only be out by the day after.

okay, okay. but what if Nuala & Cerridwen as my little ethereal night creatures actually abhor being in some of the other courts (i.e. Summer & Day especially) because it's truly just too BRIGHT for them and how so much light affects their shadows as well as their shadow forms.
