I love how the entire teen girl population’s response to {[that whole thing]} was to fall head over heels in love with {[baby]}.

Tom keeping those stickers means that he forgave Greg the second he walked out of that bathroom. He could have tossed them aside before leaving apartment — they should have lost all meaning beyond those walls. But instead he held on to them for the sheer drama of claiming Greg in the most public and undeniable place possible.

omfggg so i spoke of the thalia and percy parallel of sacrificing themselves for grover & annabeth BUT right before that we had annabeth trying to sacrifice herself for percy and grover just like sally!!!! and just a while ago, i was talking about this section from the lightning thief:
just thinking of how percy’s mind would have immediately jumped to his mother and thought he was about to lose annabeth too, someone he was just beginning to become friends with and he NEEDED to prevent that, he needed to act differently and that in his mind was sacrificing his ownself instead (just like thalia–the one he is referencing in the excerpt above) and omg the parallel comes. full. circle.
i cannot deal with this anymore.

I've recently been thinking about the difference between Edwin’s experience in Hell in the comics vs. the show and what it says about the differences in characterization.
(Please note that I haven't read the comics completely yet, this is really just what came to mind when re-reading the boys' story from The Sandman.)
This is how Edwin describes Hell in the comics, when his character is first introduced:
"It was just corridors.
And I was hurrying down these corridors, because I knew I was late for something, but I couldn't quite remember what.
And then I realized that there was something behind me. Something horrible. But it was always one or two bends of the corridor behind. And even though it wasn't making any noise I knew it was always there.
And if I started to run it would get me.
So I just kept walking, as fast as I could. Down these corridors. With something silently walking behind me. Something sad and lonely and terrible."
So at first glance, his torture simply seems more purely psychological here than on the show. And it sounds horrific, especially for this even younger version of him. Now, it's obviously a different version of events, two seperate canons, so it's no use to speculate if the thing that stalks comic!Edwin through Hell is the Babydoll Spider or something completely different, or if the same parameters apply. But I don't think that really matters. Because it is his reaction to this situation that truly stuck out to me:
"And if I started to run it would get me. So I just kept walking"
This Edwin knows he is going to get caught, not from experience, but he is aware of it in the way you just know certain things in your dreams sometimes. (He does describe it feeling like a nightmare, after all.) He can feel that he would get caught, and so he just keeps walking. He never tries to make a run for it, just to see what would actually happen, or to try to outrun whatever would give chase. He keeps walking, as fast as he can, but still walking.
And then we have show!Edwin. He knows he will get caught eventually from excruciating experience, over and over and over. "The moment I run it'll chase. And I can't get away from it." He knows he'll trip it off if he runs, or if he is too loud. And yet he runs. He doesn't stop running for seven decades.

Watching House is so much more fun now that I know it's gay.
I rewatched it like twice but because of my autistic inability to pick up on any subtext at all I missed that it is both a Sherlock adaptation and that House and Wilson are in love.
Once it was pointed out for me (once again thank you House MD tumblr) I could see it and now I'm having a much better time.
