the rage I feel when reading Blood of Olympus chapters 45-56 is almost equivalent in magnitude to the absolute joy I experience when reading The Last Olympian chapters 1-23.
remember when percabeth was good? when they meant the world to each other but had other people they cared about (nico, for one. both of them. so much), other worries and other storylines aside from their romantic plot? and when nico's completed arc wasn't repeated for no reason other than to dump more trauma on the youngest character in the series? when background characters were included in the story not for all the unnecessary last minute romantic subplots but because they were fun and fascinating to learn more about? and were actually friends with main characters? remember when grover was percy and annabeth's best friend forever? and antagonists were actually interesting and intimidating and had compelling goals? and the story revolved around friendship and family and loyalty? and death was definite and loss was palpable and battles were thrilling?
yeah. good times.

I'm having so many thoughts about Gem. She joins the series with this big reputation of GeminiSlay- but the truth is that she doesn't want to hurt anyone. Yes she carried out the boogeyman curse, but only because the secret keeper told her to. And even during that, she was still loyal to her original alliances at the start, until the curse was too consuming. Then when she was red, she didn't touch Scott or Impulse until they gave up their lives for her.
And then in the finale. Gem is so tired of being GeminiSlay. She says to Scott that she doesn't want to have to lead anyone. Before the final battle of the band vs the mounders, Gem sounds so defeated when she tells Pearl she doesn't want to fight. And when Scott asks her to kill him again, Gem sounds so hopeless. And after he's dead, she doesn't even know how to process it.
Gem is just so. Hrhrhrh. She's kind but she's deadly. She follows the rules and carries out tasks the best she can, with the slight caveat of not touching her Scotts (and eventually Pearl). She can be so vicious, but she doesn't always want to be.
I loved what she did with her series so much, and I hope to see her in another life series if they do more seasons <3

the brainrot has been hitting extra hard of late. so lyric-posting hours it is 👍
cw + lyrics under the cut!
// You praised me by saying “You’re crazy.” Thank you, I’ll do my best
// From today you'll be the air I breathe, your breath is everything in me
// If with one click, and I can reset everything, I want to be your favorite next
// I’m yours now and forever but do you even like me deep inside? Guess I, guess I’ve been lied to this whole_ damn_ time //
// So (..) burn me at the stake and make me out to be an evil villain. Painting my sins, it's totally fine.
// After all, it has never been my fault! My innocence is proven by the verdict that you chose.
// Come gather ‘round, we’re slicing her open. A burning sort of passion suddenly woken. “How stupid” I sigh, your stubbornness claims my mind. The answers I’ve yet to find.
// I’m so sick of love love, love. I have had enough.
The After Pain lyrics are taken from this amazing cover while the It's Not My Fault lyrics are from this other amazing cover. Everything else is linked :D
Milgram is about murder so the music videos depict that pretty frequently, sometimes more explicitly and sometimes symbolically depending on how many theorists they want to make angry. Also it's co-created by DECO*27 so themes of suicide/self harm and toxic relationships also tend to pop up 👍
so basically haruka's a very messed up person so desperate for any kind of love he can get no matter how the other party treats him But is also incredibly unhinged, possibly dangerous and muu is a manipulative brat whose instinct is to berate and use those around her because she's scared of being hurt. they are best friends and awful for eachother.
are you seeing the parallels im seeing.
I rambled a bit more abt the lyrics here and here if anyone's curious.
poses/expressions are ref'd from haruka and muu's trial 2 teasers! I LOVE these smug ass looks so much.

Only Friends Episode 7 | "You wouldn't get me." "You're right, I might not get you."
This episode did me so dirty. We had about ten seconds of Ray/Sand fluff and then THIS happens. I'm so completely heartbroken for him. Seeing Ray and Mew together just felt so wrong. (I'll have to dive into a separate post as to why). But for now, I just feel for my man here.

the second male lead syndrome is hitting extra hard for me these days with both Bake Me Please (Guy) and Pit Babe (Way). if they're not happy by the end of their respective series, like WHAT'S THE POINT!
playing: กลืน - Poom Phuripan (Bake Me Please OST)
playing: คนไม่ค่อยดี (Invisible Love) - Nut Supanut (Pit Babe The Series OST)

RTD came back and he said banger after banger after fucking BANGER!! I just finished episode 2 and i just have to say that this feels like the doctor who i bing watched 7-8 years ago, this feels like the doctor who that i had so much fun watching, this feels like the doctor who that i didn't have to make so much excuses for or feel like i have to defend it after every episode.
Because even though i liked 13 and her run had good moments and fun episodes, i spent so much of her run feeling defensive and protective over her being the first female doctor, so i made alot of excuses for the writing and i am still very much protective over her, but it feels so so fucking good to just watch the show and have it be so fucking good, so undeniably fun and so well written! We're so back!!!

Can I be so real. I really have not felt this emotional since watching the Blade finale. I don't care what anyone else says about Ex Aid but this series was so goddamn tailor made to My specific tastes and it has been immensely fun and also so damn heartbreaking over and over again to watch it
