"How did Shuro think he could marry Falin when he hated her brother?" you have to understand. Toshiro is from a whole different country. In his head he and Falin would move back to the Eastern Archipelago and they'd see Laios twice a year tops. You can pretend to get along with in-laws you don't like for a few days a year, people do that all the time.

The actual flaw in his plan– which shows he doesn't really understand either of the Touden siblings– is the fact that if the plot hadn't happened and Falin had for some reason said yes to his proposal, Laios would have packed his bags and moved away with them instantly.

Enki S Ending: God Blocking Gambit

[lemonsharkgirlfriend]

so rhaenyra starts s3 with a god complex, believing herself to be the prince that was promised from aegon the conqueror's dream... but hugh and ulf will betray her, mysaria will misunderstand her, coryls will undermine her, bartimos will underestimate her, daemon will abandon her, her people will turn against her and burn her castle and kill her dragon. and when everyone who accepted rhaenyra as queen rejects her, the only person left to love rhaenyra will be alicent, who never loved rhaenyra as queen but rhaenyra as a person ("she was the vision that sustained him [...] it was his love for her that kept him resolute in his choice of heir."). alicent, who abandoned her gods and duty to go to rhaenyra on dragonstone and appeal to the person beneath the crown ("i cast myself on the mercy of a friend who once loved me."). alicent, who's made a god of rhaenyra, not as queen, but as the girl she read with beneath the godswood ("come with me.").

congratulations to ineffable bureaucracy for being the first queer couple ever to plan to run away together and ACTUALLY succeeding at it!

I love Brackenpaw in the graphic novel so much oh my god. He’s so polite and he only speaks in normal (by normal, I mean not-all-caps lettering you’d see in day to day) lettering. It’s probably to contrast him with how excitable and loud Cinderpaw is, but since Every Single Other Character always talks in all caps it just makes him seem like such a polite quiet little guy.. I adore him so much

This might be a hot take, but I actually like that Percy figured out Luke was the traitor at the last minute. There were A LOT of clues that would’ve been hard to ignore, and he ignored them for as long as he could. And it’s clear that even after accusing Luke, he’s still surprised and heartbroken at Luke’s confirmation of his suspicions. He was holding out hope, guys!!

Also, the Betrayal Scene flows better as an exchange of dialogue and a swordfight than it did, in the books, as a monologue and a scorpion sting. This also leaves a bigger impact on the viewers and characters because it’s more emotional.

Wait, are you still thinking about all that prophecy rubbish? We're not the Chosen Two, Callum. We made that up. Well, maybe we're not the Chosen Two, but what if we were still an important two? A useful two? A definitely at least above average two?

izuku giggling over kacchan’s antics is sweet and fun until you remember it’s to remind us of how much joy kacchan brings izuku before he’s forced to see his lifeless body and process living in a world without him

I keep thinking every time I see a "they knew Percy was going to die at 16" post that actually, they didn't, and it's worse than that. Even if Percy accepts the prophecy as his before he knows exactly what it says, he knows it happens after he turns sixteen--and that's the key.

No one knew Percy was going to die at sixteen because no one knew if he'd make it to sixteen. What they knew was that if he made it to 16, he would die. But honestly (the way they were reading the prophecy) making it to sixteen was the best case scenario for Percy (other than the whole prophecy coming true part). The child of the prophecy is after all supposed to be making it to sixteen "against all odds," so it's unlikely he's actually going to make it at all.

It's not Annabeth befriended a boy she knew would die at sixteen. It's Annabeth befriended a boy who would probably die before he was sixteen. It's not Poseidon came to Percy's birthday because he'd die when he turned sixteen. It's Poseidon came to Percy's birthday because one way or another he wasn't going to make it another year, and he was fucking lucky to have made it so far.

I just feel like everyone says "Percy was going to die at 16 and everyone knew" but actually as soon as they saw him at twelve they knew he wasn't going to make it past 16 but probably that they'd lose him before that. Like I feel like Chiron was probably worried about Percy being a summer-only camper because of the way his power would attract monsters throughout the year, but also feel almost like it was a good idea because it gave him so many more opportunities to die before the prophecy could come true. Maybe that would be kinder, more humane. Like, unlike Harry Potter where the child of the prophecy is raised "like a pig for slaughter," Percy is raised with the expectation that he'll die before he's old enough for the prophecy to apply. They're hoping he's not the pig and they won't have to slaughter him. Idk
