#i think about them everytime I listen to that song and Good Kid from Percy Jackson

[oplishin]

current mood: crying over “bring on the monsters” from the lightning thief musical

When the whole ensemble joins in it feels so inspiring? Like they’re facing insurmountable odds but they’ve decided to persist and rally in each other. 

Annabeth singing bring on the real world as the fulfillment of her arc... And I LOVE that Clarisse joins her because they’re both the “girls who had to be tough.”

Literally everytime we hear sally’s voice I start tearing up from the sheer “she loves her sonnnn” energy

When the rest of the ensemble sings “We’ll make them listen to us,” it’s a great callback from the ending of the Prologue. They lyrics have changed this time to be more hopeful instead and oOgh the vibes. They might finally be seen and loved.

When the cast’s voices fade back and Percy sings on his own it just feels incredibly triumphant. It’s also a great contrast with the Prologue. Instead of singing “I didn’t ask to be a half blood,” he says “I’ll be back next summer.” He’s finally found a place where he belongs and embraced who he is. Seeing how his self image has changed from “good kid”... tear inducing

I think the part that gets to me the most is that the song makes it really clear that they’re a bunch of kids. Lyrics like “bring on the real world” and “i’ll be back next summer” are language that kids use. They’re really just kids that have no idea what’s in store for them, and yet the song is triumphant anyway!! It’s incredibly hopeful, and probably a little bit naive, but that’s what’s great about it.

The songs on my Preserve or Raze writing playlist

- l Jason by BONNIE PARKER

This song is the anthem of this fic. I've listened to this song for soooo many hours thinking about this fic it's insane. Listen to it.

This song is also 100% about Jercy. The song is told from a guy's perspective talking about the star of the football team named Jason. The chorus is "You wanna kiss me with the lights off baby am I good enough? And I good enough for you?"

- Everywhere I Go by Hollywood Undead

Everytime I listen to this song I think about Jason and Percy grinding at a party and singing this to each other lmaooo. It's funny because the song is talking about being super sexual towards women, but I feel like that wouldn't stop them from making it super sexual.

Except: "When I start drinking /My dick does all my thinking"

- Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths

Great song for our favorite depressed demigod

"Achilles come down, won't you /Get up off /Get up off the roof? / You're scaring us /And all of us /Some of us love you /Achilles, it's not much but there's proof"

- Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens (from CMBYN soundtrack)

Guys it's such a cute love song 😭 and yes this makes me think about Jercy too don't @ me. I love them 😭

- The Night We Met by Lord Huron

Just a very sweet nostalgia song. It gives me good vibes for this fic overall, but it especially makes me think about Percabeth because of their nostalgia. It also gives me gentle Frank/Hazel vibes, but more for later in the fic.

Excerpt: "Take me back to the night we met /I don't know what I'm supposed to do / Haunted by the ghost of you / Oh, take me back to the night we met"

- Could've Been Me by The Struts

This is also an anthem of the fic! It makes me think about all of the characters, but especially Frank. I think it just reminds me of his character arch, especially as he moves away from his dedication to the legion, more toward doing things his own way.

Excerpt: "I wanna taste love and pain / Wanna feel pride and shame / I don't wanna take my time / Don't wanna waste one line / I wanna live better days / Never look back and say / Could have been me"

- Dreams Where Ur Murdered by X Lovers

Lmaoooo this song is dedicated to Annabeth 😂😂😂 #chapter39 #killhimbabes

But also it takes about nightmares and all that stuff and it feels very Annabeth-esc.

Excerpt: "Dreams where ur murdered / Boy I know you heard it all before / Stop would you stop / All of these memories are waking me up / Fuck the fuck off / All of these demons are shaking me alive"

- This is Love by Air Traffic Controller

Similar to previous song, but along with making me think of Annabeth gutting Percy, it also makes me think of my sweet traumatized characters in general (+Luke).

Excerpt: "Yeah, I know wrong, I know right / But I just love to pick a fight / I can sleep with one eye open / If there's any sleep at night / I got my knife, got my gun / Let's see how fast you can run / You might think that you can hurt me / But the damage has been done"

- Where Do We Go by Pitbull

Don't judge it based on the artist, it's actually a pretty hype song that makes me think about fight scenes/Argo stuff with the PoR characters. Especially like, the Big Three kids showing off their powers.

Excerpt: "Where do we go from here? / I want the world to tell me please"

- Bottom by McCafferty

This song is a joke about Percy being a bottom. Lmao.

"And you sing like this / So I'll sing like that / You be the bottom /And I'll be the top"

- Warriors by Imagine Dragons

More powers hype music. Also more specific to the girls of my fic (Reyna/Hazel/Annabeth).

Excerpt:

"In youth you'd lay / Awake at night and scheme / Of all the things that you would change / But it was just a dream" ALSO "Here we are don't turn away now / we are the warriors that built this town"

- Hayloft by Mother Mother

A song about delinquent teens fucking when they shouldn't be? Nuff said.

Excerpt: "Young lovers and they are not sleeping / young lovers in the hay (loft) / With his gun turned on, pop went a-creeping / Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)"

- WAP by Cardi B

This song is dedicated to Jason and his fuckboy ways. :').

Excerpt: "Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me (yeah) / Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me (yeah)" ALSO "Look, I need a hard hitter, I need a deep stroker" ALSO "I don't wanna spit, I wanna gulp / I wanna gag, I wanna choke / I want you to touch that lil' dangly thing /That swing in the back of my throat"

- Liability by Lorde

Someone actually mentioned that this song made them thing of this fic, so I added it to the Playlist. I think it made them think about sad Jercy :')

Excerpt: "They say, "You're a little much for me / You're a liability"

- Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea by MISSIO

Dark!Percy vibes. Need I say more?

Excerpt: "The salt, it seeps in through the pores of my open skin / I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue sea"

- Way Down We Go by KALEO

There's a character in this book who goes through really intense grief later on in this fic and this song makes me think of them :(

Excerpt: "And they will run you down, down 'til you go / Yeah, so you can't crawl no more / And way down we go"

- Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Lorde

General fic/prophecy/Princess Andromeda angst.

Excerpt: "There's a room where the light won't find you / Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down / When they do I'll be right behind you"

Would you rather live in a huge mansion or a compact studio house? definitely a studio house! for sooo many reasons: 1) i hate walking 2) cleaning a large house is the worst 3) if i had the option to spend that much i’d just get a smaller house and spend money on more important things!

Tell me a fun childhood story (I’ll start! One time an aunt gave me money to buy ‘papas’ (potatoes) at the grocery store so bc I’m obedient af I went and asked the counter lady how many of em could I buy with the money I had so she went ‘uhh, not many tbh’ so i ended up getting like two and when I returned to my aunt’s house she laughed her ass off and said: I meant ‘papas fritas’ (potato chips) Not those! - and uh yeah this is funnier in Spanish but it proves that I’m such an innocent angel I mean wow) gIRL I WISH I COULDA SEEN THAT SPANISH EXCHANGE I DEFINITELY LAUGHED um????????? yo idk i can’t think of anything help uhhhh okay so when my sister and i were little our house was two stories so we’d take our stuffed animals and tie plastic bags to them and make them skydive ahahha but it wasn’t too satisfying for obvious reasons so we just attached this one stretchy pink scarf to them and make them bungee jump from the railing ajfdhgfdls classic

If you were offered to start a band, would you accept? yEAH if someone offered i would assume i had the talent and ability so.. yes.. even if i didn’t and someone offered i’d still say yes bye
