Y'know, it could be a coincidence. Yeah, I'm not a big believer in those.

ok but you found a new version of me and I damn near started World War 3 and your new girl is my clone and do you call her, almost say my name? cause let's be honest we kinda do sound the same and you broke my heart and my self-esteem for a girl who's a remix of me and you haven't met the new me yet

[tigirl-and-co]

doomguy + path of perpetual torment = killing demons forever and ever and basically giving up his humanity (mentally) to protect everyone, a warrior

my s/i + path of perpetual torment = basically giving up its humanity (physically) and allowing itself to be tortured in order to aid the fight against the demons, a scientist

Ok so, apparently the UK cover for The Chalice of the Gods came out and my brain is thinking a mile a minute!

So here's the cover:

It's absolutely beautiful! But, do you notice anything specific? Notice what Percy is holding? That's Hermes' caduceus (at least it looks a lot like it to me).

Given that little tid bit, my brain is absolutely racing with ideas of what could (but more than likely won't) happen in the book! But here's the main one that I would love to see:

Hermes gives Percy, Annabeth and Grover a quest to find his caduceus that he lost (or maybe someone stole it, because that would be a cool call back to TLT) along with whatever other quests the other gods give them. They agree.

The other two quests have their challenges but overall they aren't too bad, so the trio gets by pretty much unscathed. Then they get to their final quest and things take a turn for the worse. They reach where the caduceus is, managing to get a hold of it before a horde of big, tough to kill monsters show up. Most were monsters that Percy and Annabeth had fought before, especially after their trip to Tartarus, but there were just so many of them all charging them at the same time.

They manage to fight off most of them, they were almost done.

It all happens so fast. Percy is fighting off a rather vicious empousai when he hears Annabeth's scream. He looks over to her quickly, giving the monster a chance to strike. The empousai scratches his face badly, a ragged cut along the right side of his face. Percy grimaces at the pain but makes quick work of slashing the monster to dust so that he could run to Annabeth's side.

When he looks at her, the first thing that he notices is blood, too much of it. Her orange camp Tshirt becoming soaked with blood from what looked like a bad scratch from a monster. It ran from her shoulder and all the way down her left arm. Percy would quickly reach into his backpack to grab the nectar and ambrosia that was in his emergency pack, pouring some of the nectar onto her wounds as best he could to hopefully help heal them faster.

Ultimately, they make it out and manage to get back to camp without further incident.

The Apollo cabin is able to heal most of Annabeth's injuries completely, but her arm sustained just too much injury. They aren't able to fully heal all of the damage done to the nerves in her arm, meaning that the function in her left arm will never be the same. Annabeth took the news in stride, but it made Percy furious at the monsters, the gods, at himself for not doing more to make sure nothing happened to her.

Percy was completely fine aside from the cut on his cheek. It was too deep to disappear without leaving any kind of mark, Will had told him that he was sorry and that he had done everything he possibly could to completely heal it but there was still a scar left. Percy didn't understand why Will looked at Percy with so much guilt when he said that. It was just a scar, that was the least of his problems at the moment.

After Percy is released from the infirmary he still has to go to Olympus to deliver all of the items that they had been sent to retrieve, back to the gods. When he returns their items, there is no offer of any reward like the last couple of times he had done their bidding, just a pat on the back and the stupid recommendation letters. They had risked their lives again, and got nothing. No offer to help Annabeth with her arm, no offer of anything.

Percy tries to hold back his anger as he hands Zeus the two other items that they had retrieved before going over to Hermes to give him back his caduceus. However, Percy is a bit taken aback by the look in Hermes' eyes when he looks at Percy. The gods eyes focus directly on the right side of Percy's face, his eyes wide. Percy couldn't help but notice the way the wings on the gods shoes seem to twitch and flutter almost nervously. What was wrong with him? He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.

When Percy hands Hermes his caduceus Hermes avoids any eye contact, only giving Percy a very curt 'thanks' before disappearing in thin air.

It wasn't until Percy got back to camp and looked in the mirror in his bathroom that he realized why Hermes and Will were acting weird.

Percy felt his blood run cold as he took a good like at himself. The scar looked like a jagged knife slash, it ran from the bottom of his right eye all the way down to his jaw. It looked... It looked like...

Percy immediately ran over to to salt water fountain in his room, dunking his face in the water. Hoping that the salt water would heal it more, but looking back at his reflection in the water, it hadn't helped. It was still the same.

His breathing would become erratic, images running through his head of a charming young man with a scar running down the side of his face teaching him how to fight with a sword. That same person later sicking a pit scorpion on him as he tried to tell Percy how demigods like them were nothing but pawns for the gods to use. That things would never change unless they fought against the gods.

Percy would dunk his head back into the water, hoping that it would help calm him down. He would stay there for a few minutes before pulling his head back out, his eyes closed. He just needed rest, there was no way that he looked anything like-

When Percy opens his eyes and looks into the water, who he sees in the reflection isn't him. It's a young man with dark blonde hair, a scar running down his right cheek and his eyes glowing gold. It's his former mentor and friend, the true unfortunate hero of the great prophecy. The true catalyst for the changes that happened for half bloods after the Titan war. Someone that many people had seemed to have forgotten about...

Percy would hold his head in his hands, his eyes squeezed shut. But it didn't matter. All that he saw was what he had seen in his reflection. All that he could see was Luke.

It's just they could've written a wonderful little thing about Nancy and Jonathan thinking what happened to Barb and Will is their respective fault but season 3 has to exist.

There's a poem in the angle of your jaw, and the shape of your lips,

And the hue of your eyes.

There's a poem in the mountains,

And the sea, and the stars twinkling above.

There's a poem in your anger,

And happiness, and grief.

There's a poem in raging fire,

And stormy clouds, and how sun pieces through them to warm us all.

There's a poem in your voice,

And your hands, and how you use them.

There's a poem in a bird song,

And the trees reaching their arms to help us just 'cause.

There's a poem in the hunch of your shoulders,

And in your lungs, and in your heart.

There's a poem in tiredness,

And breathing, and simply being alive.

And there's a poem in every little thing in this world.

Someone just has to write it.

A thrilling saga

[beetleandfox]

obsessed with the Helena and Irving parallel and what it says about the aspects of our identity we think are fundamental (but aren't)...

Like Outie Irving assumes his Innie is just as radically anti-Lumon as he is. He assumes his hatred of Lumon is something ingrained in his personality! That's why he stays up at night drinking coffee and making paintings, because he hopes that when his innie dreams about the testing floor, he'll say "okay bet" and start exploring. That's what Outie Irving would do, after all. But he miscalculated! His hatred of Lumon isn't inherent--- his desire for meaning and art and spirituality is inherent. That's what his hatred for Lumon is built on. But in a world where there's no meaning outside of Lumon propaganda, of COURSE his innie would become ridiculously devoted to the company.

And Helena!! She is the corporation, that's her whole identity. She presumably assumed that Helly would be just as pro-Lumon as she is. But she miscalculated too! Her devotion to the company isn't inherent, her headstrong and entitled nature is what's inherent! And in a world where she's denied any agency whatsoever, that manifests as rebellion.

It's the same dynamic flipped on its head. They both sent their innies in there with opposite intentions--- one to take down the company, one feed the company's expansion--- only to realize that rebellion and devotion aren't inherent characteristics. Their innies have become the exact opposite of their outie selves, while still being exactly the same!! Because even though your personality is inherent, the values you hold are determined circumstantially. OUGH IT'S SO GOOD.
