Jonny Sims is going to add five more people named Michaels to the Magnus Protocol just to spite us all. We are all going to to be scrambling just to figure out which ones which.

Have y’all thought about how heart wrenching it was for Grover and Annabeth when Percy closed the door behind him? I know they were both immediately brought back to the night they couldn’t save Thalia. They BOTH lost one of their best friends and felt like they were going to lose Percy the same exact way. I think about how Grover promised Sally to protect her son as her last wish. He finally got a second chance to be a protector, just for it to be ripped away. I think about how Annabeth felt the same way. How, even though their friendship was just beginning she knew she didn’t want to lose him. “Don’t do this to me” she has already lost her best friend!!!!!!!!!! She couldn’t think about losing another that same way. I think about how Percy felt bad that Athena had punished Annabeth for HIS actions. This was how he was going to make it right. He would fight the chimera because it was HIS fault Athena allowed Echidna into her temple. I think about how they were BEGGING Percy to open the door. How helpless they felt as they were about to lose their already dying best friend. They don’t even know if seaweed brain is alive or not right now!!!

i just think it’s interesting how a repeating theme in the goldfinch is that love is associated with trust
theo trusted his mother with his whole heart, and the book started off strong by making it very clear that he loved her more than anything
but trust isn’t only what we think of at first, the “i’ll tell you things and rely on you and believe in you to believe in me”. trust also comes in a deeper openness that shows up a lot in the form of drugs and alcohol? which i find interesting? hear me out
for me personally (idk how many people this extends to) i really hate the idea of being drunk or somehow intoxicated/under the influence around people i don’t trust. like i could do anything, say anything, that i didn’t want them to know or see and now it’s done and can’t be taken back. the same applies with me for sleeping, since i sleep walk and talk a lot, though i think sleeping around someone is inherently a sign of trust just for so many reasons.
what do theo and boris famously do around eachother? drink. do drugs. sleep.
theo is a blackout drunk. it’s mentioned several times throughout the book, and especially the fact that he showed boris the goldfinch while blacked out means that he basically surrendered all self control/awareness.
even if consciously theo wasn’t thinking of this as a sign of trust (his alcoholism probably sabotaged that sentiment), inherently his willingness to get drunk around boris is a sign that he trusted him.
that he loved him.
there’s just so many small things in both the vegas era and the later times of the goldfinch that show theo and boris’s trust in eachother. it drives me insane i want to get all of it and write about it but i’m not coherent enough lmao 😭
anyways there is so much where it’s written that theo and boris trust eachother wether directly or indirectly, subtly, symbolically, whatever.
and that just solidifies for me how much love they have for eachother, because love and trust go hand in hand in the book
