📷 ✨🙃🦋👖🧡🎤

📷 what is your lockscreen?

i’ve blocked out faces and names of people not on tumblr for obvious reasons

✨do you have any nicknames?

carrie calls me greg. but aside from that, i don’t think so

🙃what’s a weird fact that you know?

i just stared into space for a solid two minutes trying to recall any fact ive ever learned and it’s just hollow up there😭

🦋describe yourself in three words

creative, considerate, andddd hopeful

👖 jeans or sweatpants?

out of those two options, it’s jeans. but more accurately, i would pick leggings over both

🧡a color you can’t stand?

any shade of yellowy-green. it never looks good. yellow can be cute, green can be cute. mixing them is a crime.

🎤is there a song you know all the lyrics to?

my brain is 95% lyrics, 5% empty space. i love music so bad. i could recite like 80% of taylor swift’s discography in my sleep. to name a few songs tho, call it what you want by taylor, unsteady by gracie abrams, the grudge by olivia rodrigo. my holy trinity

send me an emoji!

~*Seph's Daughters*~

first - next - last

cranking out Melinoe content as the one person who knew abt her before Had2 comes out - JOAKS,, anyway fr do you too forget all the time that Maci and Meli are half sisters bc OOPS!! though of course Meli's since been adopted by Euriales so -

weeelll for the uninformed, since i dont talk about Meli much here (anymore ah), lets delve into a very long recap<333 for you new people but also for you old people for funsiess – ahem! underr the cut! This is a massive lore dump!!!

FIRST: Melinoe! version: BLANK.  the backstory – 2,000 years ago, she was born the daughter of persephone and ZEUS, who saw an awful "opportunity" when the Underworld royal family was in turmoil immediately following the thanatos debacle and seized it :(( Melinoe was born with two physical souls inside of her, one of them the embodiment of all good and the other the incarnation of all evil, prophesied by Fate to lean one way or the other but ONLY one at a time depending on how she was treated

Her “family”… fuckin ignored this and proceeded to neglect and ignore her for eight solid years – mostly Hades but YES also Maci who 1) is not always the best person im sorry you had to find out this way fjfhfhg but also 2) was heavily influenced by Hades who was manipulating the fuck out of her too so idk I guess she cant fully be blamed??? She certainly should be tho cmonn. The Blank Early Melinoe, while the dual souls inside of her each waited to seize control of her vessel, did not speak (actually fun gross fact whenever she’s Blank shes got no physical tongue fhfhg), or sleep or really do anything, just quietly haunted the palace. Her aura was split down the middle black and white! and then!

SECOND: iiits OrigiMel! version: EVIL. “origiMel” is not a real name first of all its just Melinoe but she is considered the ORIGINALL incarnation of Melinoe hence the OoC nickname to differentiate, by age 8 the evil side of her had had enough and wrested control of the physical vessel and assumed her role as Goddess of Ghosts, Most Evil Creature In the Universe and thus began a reign of terror that would continue for two fuckin millenia. Her aura turning black. She murdered lots and lots of mortals and has done SO many awful things! Shed also hypnotize their ghosts of mortals she killed to serve her as endless slaves and playthings forever. Bc she reached her full powers so goddamn early thanks to Hades and Seph an Maci treating her like shit, Melinoe is forever 8 years old (out of universe this is. Because when I created her 15 years ago I was fucking obsessed with the ring that’s literally it. Self callout ig whatever lmfao) but was theeee most physically powerful being in the entire underworld.

Eventually due to her persistent hatred for Maci and family she focused all of her evil energies on the mortal Maci was DATING 2,000 years later – this of course was Tory – and she terrorized HIM specifically in some really really awful ways, before they got together, AFTER they got together – shes actually a huge part of Maci and Tory's story as their main villain forget about fuckin Thanatos,,, well this all culminated in the absolute last straw when she murdered Tory’s mother :((( in,, front of him,,, , eventually the Elysium gang figured out that by erasing her memories, they could reset her Blank again and give the good half of her a chance to take over, so after she was captured following that murder, Epi and Maci and Tory and Lethe forcibly erased OrigiMel's memory which turned her Blank indeed and then-

THIRD: finally, Meli! version: GOOD. That’s exactly what happened! When OrigiMel’s memory was erased, she was taken in by Epi and Eury (before they had other children, she was their first ,,) who adopted her as their own and cared for her lovingly, eventually the good half of her seized control. This is the Meli of today! She is sweet and kind and compassionate, still eternally eight years old, she has a family who she loves and so many siblings (including Ty and Bel who are her BABY BROTHERS no matter how old they get!), she loves to draw and hang out with her best friends whomst are all ghost children fggkgkh.,, The first thing she did as new Meli was cut her hair.

Meli’s aura glows white – WITH PATCHES OUT OF IT, becauuuse well oh god it’s a very long story but years later the evil half of her briefly escaped and umm killed Epi and eury’s first bio baby Melanie, before she was immortal in utero, tearing her soul to shreds as goddess of ghosts and uh. Aahh. Meli found all the pieces and glued them back together using parts of her own aura :’))) Melanie’s soul was reincarnated into Ty and Bel hence why they’re one split into two!!! Anyway as for Maci and Meli – i guess tbh they never really formed any sort of formal sisterly relationship since Seph's so disowned her and Meli is so completely Epi and Eury’s daughter, but Maci does love her and uh. Is super embarrassed and regretful of allowing all that to happen so. Happily ever after now!

Aaaaand that’s it weeooo. Anyway enjoy these three pictures rffjghjgjhkgggjkfgj i didnt need to write all that if you made it to the end. hi. thanks.

I am forever wishing ao3 had a kudos by chapter option 😭

i also wish that very often, but i know in my heart it would disrupt the delicate balance of the ao3 ecosystem since people would make things with 5 million chapters just to get more kudos 😭

make a poll of your favorite female characters (no limits - as many or as little as you want) and see which your followers like the most!

made myself stick to a top five (and only one from each series) bc otherwise they would have easily overflowed the poll lol ..feels wrong not to have some others represented here tho :/

Fave 5 Canon Annabeth moments?

omg okay

1. when she traps arachne in her own web. i remember being in literal awe at her

2. “was it hard?” i love when she’s mean to rachel😌

3. when she hugs percy and says “im glad you’re not a guinea pig” in SoM. it was so quick but so vulnerable and sweet. i love her

4. when she punched matt sloan in the face. incredible.

5. when she played fetch with cerberus and nearly cried when they had to leave him behind. she’s so baby

there’s probably so many good ones im missing but these were off the top of my head

[crashquez]

you’re officially my famous friend 🤣

yes so famous that we needed security to get escorted out of the box

[chthonicgodling]

im scavenging through my whole twt right now still here’s a good post to transcribe aHEM hem—

I think one of the only time Hades was nice to Maci past the age of 10 was when Melinoe was first around and he was hard at work neglecting her, with the ulterior motives of making sure they didn’t ally against him, oh yeah remember Meli, remember how they’re half-sisters, oof ah.

so like, Meli was born right after th Thanatos debacle in which Hades famously(clears throat), tOOK THANATOS’S SIDE and then completely isolated Maci from everyone, so when he suddenly backpedaled and was miraculously nice and caring to her again- for 8 years! Maci was around his finger— 8 years later when the trip switch that was cosmically built into Meli tipped her over into OrigiMel, The Most Malicious Being In The Underworld & Hades abruptly dropped Maci again she realized she’d been fuckinggggg played and had certainly been complicit in Meli’s neglect/abuse— that’s like. all his fucking fault.

Worth mentioning that Maci I think initially sought her out in guilt and regret and was immediately confronted with bloodsoaked chaos and just 😬 Okay Well Fuck That This Is A Problem For Later (2,000 years later yes, it was, and it was hers),,

hades like hmm yes let me horrifically neglect a baby and play mind games with my fragile teenage daughter. par for the course thanks

also for the record this IS Unrelated bht I’d like to state that the bridge between ye olde maci / thru the thanatos debacle, where she’s drawn with significantly shorter hair, to the modern and rapunzelly look she’s got going on now, exists during this time period— eight-or-so years to grow her hair out and she’s never cut it shorter againn. like after this formal split back from hades happened she and Hypnos reconnected (the gods and their flimsy grips on passing time like oh it hasn’t been that long :-) EIGHT YEARS???) and he was startled to find out that her hair was now On the Floor

[timelesslords]

Found him!!!

baby skipper!!!!!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have an awesome day 💜💜💜

thank youuuu meli 💞💞💞

Melina: Is spelled out that she's Marika daughter. Is spelled out that she's kind. Is spelled out that she cares about the Lands Between. Is spelled out who she is, what she stands for and for what she fucking burns herself to death.

The fandom: We know nothing about this mysterious woman. She's St Trina. She's the GlOaM-eYeD QuEeN. She's everything but what the fucking game tells us she is.

Why do y'all insist so much in completely erasing this specific character's motivations and values??

I'm done. Bye.

[lnternchaos]

that rat game is so cool 🐀🐀🐀

I'm ashamed to say this is my very first digital art of a plague tale requiem (not apt general cuz I've made some arts during 2019-2022). anyways, AMILIE canon in my heart 🐀🐀🙌🏽🙌🏽 and Sophia is their mother figure ⚓⚓

Hugo would definitely obligate them to run everytime he could! in my mind they're all living together in the mountains and nobody can tell me otherwise
