Thinking thinking about Tails and Nine again and how both of their identities revolve around the number of tails they have and how it makes me cry
Tails, rather fitting, calling on the oddity of his mutation; Tails, theres more than one, more than there should be naturaly. But thanks to Sonic and friends, he finds it something that makes him special. Having two of them, they expand on his worth, they add to his ability set, a lot of times complimenting the powers of those around him. His extra tail, something that he was bullied and ostracized for, he now carries with pride and slaps on as a signature onto his inventions and items of his belonging, something that is called out each time when being addressed by his nickname, something that makes him completely unique.
(^And I think that's just utterly beautiful^)
Nine, is also named after his tails, but that's all his identity has been reduced to; the absolute number of them. There's two natural ones, and seven mechanical ones, nine in total. And that's all his name is, a number, a dehumanizing (demobianizing?) statistic. No one was there to save him, no one was there to make him see that one extra tail as a gift, instead the world around him made sure to only make it seem as something that made him different, an oddity, a freak. His natural tails condemed him into a life of suffering and loneliness, while his mechanical ones were created for self defense purposes from those calling him a freak. And he hides the natural tails away, between the mechanical ones, almost perfectly blending in with the fucked up, robotocizised city of his upbringing.
(^And that makes me cry and scream and flip tables^)

In love with this random guy who had a lock slapped on his storage unit for not paying its rental and not only did he ignore management and took his stuff out without paying, but also chose to steal the lock itself and send it to the LockPickingLawyer along with a confession letter

I can't remember how much of this is implied canon or my own interpretation, but I fully believed that Chiron recognized Percy was a son of Poseidon from the fountain incident with Nancy Bobofit, knew that a child of the Big Three being claimed would be a total shit show, and simply chose not to say a word about it

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"
