The way Percy talks about himself in the show though, having ADHD and dyslexia, saying he knows that something is wrong with his brain, it’s heartbreaking.
Because stepping aside from the magic and monsters, this is a kid who’s internalized the ableist messages and bullying that’s been directed at him. He believes that having ADHD and dyslexia means that something is broken in his head. Not that his experience is natural, another one of the many different ways that people go through the world, but that his difficulties mean his brain is broken, and by extension, he is innately wrong.
It’s this out loud recognition of the struggling quiet part of someone with a learning disability, who can’t figure out what is going on with themself. They don’t know why they are the way they are, they don’t know how to manage it, and they certainly haven’t accepted it as a part of them, trying to fit into the expectations of a neurotypical society. All they know is that according to everyone else, they’re ‘wrong’. So they must just be ‘wrong’.

I splurged.
Mickey was on clearance (and if the other one is still there, I'll nab her to cut the fringe off her jacket) and the single outfit doll (sad, i like dress up dammit) was from Target. I can't make a bookmark out of the single outfit box because there is no side paneling with the doll in a pic.
Meanwhile, TNBC!
(Look, this is as goth and edgy as Disney gets)
I adore all the details on the ILY dolls. Her second outfit is REALLY tight compared to the mesh skirt and Jack and Sally top. I love the sole details and one of her purses opens! I can put the Zero charm in there so I don't lose it! I haven't opened the other two yet but I HAD to open her! Her face is so sweet looking! I really like these dolls 💖

ILOVEYOU AU Lore:
====================
Back in the year of the early 2000’s, a programmer came across the Restoration Project of the 70’s/80’s Welcome Home tv show. They ended up loving Welcome Home so much that they decided to make a game based off of it and ended up making a dating simulator!
The game was simple:
You could hang out with any of the characters in the dating sim and try to form some kind of relationship! Whether it be platonic or romantic. The dateable cast is as follows:
Wally Darling
Barnaby B. Beagle
Sally Starlet
Julie Joyful
Eddie Dear*
Frank Frankly*
Poppy Partridge
Howdy Pillar
*(Frank and Eddie would already be a married couple, but you would be able to be get into a polyamorous relationship if convinced enough.)
The more you hang out and get to know more about a particular character, the more romantically involved you and said character would become. (Ya know, typical dating sim mechanics.)
After some time, the game was finished, the programmer decided to do a test run of the game using Wally as their person of interest.
At the time, everything was all fine and dandy. Until our dear programmer fell victim to the dreaded ILOVEYOU Virus. They lost almost everything on their computer. They had also made the mistake of having all the files and coding on that same computer. Thankfully, nothing seemed to be lost or ruined in either the files or the codes. Or so they thought…
When they went to check up on the game, they noticed a few…. changes…
The game would randomly glitch whenever they were talking to the Wally character. And other times, it would somehow glitch back to Wally when talking to a completely different character. They tried rewriting the code and double checking the files for the game but it ended up making it worse or the results would end up the same: Fruitless..
Eventually, that programmer gave up on trying to save the game. They put it in storage and ended up moving on with other things in life and completely forgetting about the game in general.
——————
Lets say… some odd years later, you end up finding game at some random garage sale. You ended up buying it and bringing it home to play, mainly because you were genuinely curious about it in general, but also mainly because you were bored and had nothing else interesting left to do that day. So, after getting back home, you pop it into the computer and load it up.
For such an old game, it surprisingly loaded quickly with ease!
After loading, the intro screen presents itself and you begin to play.
Your character starts off talking with Wally. Everything is fine up until a certain point. Whenever you finally got around to flirting with the Wally character is when things started glitching.
Whenever a different character and Wally were on the screen at the same time, tiny glitches would happen that would make Wally look like he was talking DIRECTLY at you. Other times it would make it look as if Wally would take a quick glimpse at you. Not the you in-game character, but YOU.
After a bit you started to get creeped out, so you decided to turn off the computer and take out the game, thinking that would be the end of it.
If only you know how oh so wrong you were about that…
That night, after had gone off to bed, your computer turned itself back on. It starts glitching out. Then finally after a few agonizingly seconds, a glitched out silhouette of Wally starts to slowly appear amongst the glitches…
(Each character acts differently in their own way. They each have their own personality, traits and quirks. It mainly all depends on how you interact with everyone!)
====================
FJSHFKSJD Sorry if this comes out kinda weird. I’m not the best at writing things like this lol

I just love the energy that radiates from the entirety of wh so far. I love scary things, yes, but the cuteness! The silliness! The absolute happy vibes! And it's not even just wh itself! I've scrolled through clown's posts and felt the same vibes from them as I did from wh! I just can't express enough how happy it all makes me! And to think it's only just starting! I can hardly wait to see the rest of it! Good luck to clown and all I hope is that they have a good time working on it and that they don't overwork themselves or try to rush it just to make the fans happy. Take your time!
If clown happens to find this somehow with the amount of people who probably try to message them, @ them, etc, I just wanna say I'm excited to see how this all turns out! And also, I have a quick question (since idk if the asks will reopen,) although you don't have to answer! I've been wondering for a little while now, but what are the canon genders, sexualities, and pronouns of the wh characters? I wanna make sure I don't make any mistakes referring to them or anything. Again you don't have to answer, but it would be cool!
I really hope they see this haha (@partycoffin)
Welp, I pretty much made a super long post just saying something that probably could've been summed up in a sentence or two, so sorry for that haha! Just wanted to express my love for the content that an amazing creator has made!

Salvatore's head is ringing and his cheek still stings, despite the wounds from Dio's claws having healed already. He has no lasting injuries, so he shouldn't still be in pain. He's fine.
Even not saying the words out loud, they sound and taste hollow. But he swallows them regardless.
It's been a long time since he felt this pathetic, this helpless, to do anything to protect himself.
Salvatore's hand shakes ever so slightly as he holds his cigarette to his lips, taking a long drag. He keeps his eyes up, looking up at the stars with tense shoulders.
At least there aren't too many clouds tonight.
