Robin chose Steve. Robin made the conscious and deliberate decision that she could and would trust Steve. She already liked him! She had fun working and bantering with him! They were already on their way to being weird little bffs and the torture just expedited the process. Steve chose Robin just the same! He thinks she's fun and cool and likes her so much! He chose to be honest and open with her too, putting himself out there.
Even though their interests on the surface level don't match why wouldn't they share them? Steve clearly caves when Robin wants to watch a movie he doesn't think he'll like, Robin can watch a March madness game or five.
Stop trying to take away their bond oh my god people can be close to more than one person!!! Their best friend doesn't have to be dismissive or mean or whatever in order for a romance to be special to them!
i know the hunger games isnt about romance i know it isnt a love story but. theres just something so beautiful in the way peeta is the personification of what it means to heal and he /is/ the dandelion and the bread and the hope that things can be better even if they wont be fixed. even if the nightmares dont stop he will still hold her. wake her up and tell her shes alive. shes safe. and when its over and done and theres no more saving or protecting or trying their absolute hardest to die if it means keeping the other alive, the horrors dont stop. but katniss will still find that comfort in peetas arms.
okay so i thought a lot about louise's services lately and not only is she great at interrogation, torture and murder because that's the main reason why she gets hired for a job 100% of the time but she can also provide anyone looking to hire a thermodynamicist! louise used to work for S.T.A.R labs and was noted for being a brilliant worker that made several breakthroughs in the comics. plus, she's known to be a exceptional ice skater in T.A.B because they trained all their operatives to be at the level of olympians. she can easily become anyone's mentor for a reasonable price. kf is a completely different person in that area because she's in her element. definitely be acting like one of those scary, strict teachers that just wants the best for you and the next thing you know you'll have a friendly frost in your hands when you do meet her expectations
Alright, I've gotta go pick Kei, and my brother wants to play some Let.hal Compa.ny tonight at some point, but outside of those two things, I'm gonna join in on the 🅱️een shenanigans. Y'all better be ready for it!
omfg baby that is my beloved magnum opus. my essay to end all essays. my pride and joy <3
made her after writing a silly shitpost about how Lego monkie kid has 2 narratives (the narrative written by the writers and the narrative™️ being forced upon the characters) because Lego Monkie Kid is a very meta show and plays with storytelling mechanics. so then i went, “wait a minute….what if i did expand on this” and now there’s a posted part 1 with the rest still in the works
i have been writing this essay for fun since fall 2023 finals (because what am i if not beginning a new project for funsies when i am supposed to be focused on writing academic papers ✌️) so like…. end of November(?) i think [nvm it was Nov. 9th i just checked lmao]
anyway,
this baby can fit sO much infodumping :D
i am 3704 words in now and only gotten as far as part 3 (but only three paragraphs in. so like….29% complete). this is essay is not at all formal, nor do i intend for it to be anything else other than a tumblr post. it is (said affectionately) a hot mess of an essay full of screaming and incoherent rambles that give you a pretty good idea on how my brain works
but yeah lemme give you a snippet of what i’ve got so far
The Hero’s Journey is a style of storytelling that moves in steps (acts) with your establishment of the status quo, the inciting incident that breaks the status quo, the rising actions, the climax, falling action, and resolution.
“BUT FLUFFY!!!” you may be shouting at me, “is this not the steps we have for every story????”
Again: yes but also no. It’s hard for me to explain (without going further off tangent) but stories have different stakes and conflict resolution and sometimes there’s never a resolution, just catharsis— but this isn’t what I am here to talk about. Just know that Hero’s Journey follows this structure pretty strictly.
But back to Percy Jackson.
oh yeah, i uh, i use other pieces of fiction as examples of narrative mechanics and modern storytelling. that is also there
This girl I was really good friends with during my senior year of high school unfollowed me yesterday on instagram for who knows what reason, but it made me sad… even though it’s been years since we last spoke or saw each other, I still liked her and thought well of her…

lila getting with griffin / g reign and having their little thing in “secret” not only bc it’s what her parents did to each other to get back at the other for slights and arguments but also bc she wanted to not only get back at seven but also to be like “oo look at me i can pull griffin freaking reign i won teehee.” and then the clown catches real feelings for griffin and calls jazz near in tears bc she’s just like her mom 🥀✨🎸🤡 and using someone she loves to get back at someone who she loved may or may not have even loved (i think she did but loved more the idea ? it’s complicated!) but loved the IDEA of seven loving her? dear you know it everyone knows it you want to be loved so bad!!!!!! the sooner you admit that lila the sooner you’ll be much happier my love! so excited to see where things go for her ! and things for her and her beloved g!!!!!
