fall

Before there was time, before there was Anything, there was nothing.And before there was nothing, there were monsters. Now You are alone, child. There is only darkness for you, and only death for your people. These ancients are just the beginning. I will command a great and terrible army,and we will sail to a billion worlds. We will sail until every light has been extinguished.You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength. I am the end, and I have come for you, Finn. you are a joke to me. like The spawn of Life and Death a creature without purpose,Fit only to be a pawn in my eternal quest to end all life. And You, your family, everyone will die, over and over.Mountains of broken bodies beneath the wheel.Yes... While a mortal world doubts and questions,I know exactly what I am. I am the ceaseless wheel. The last Scholar of GOLB. I am your doom. Heroes of Ooo, it's only a matter of time. With this vessel, my victory is inevitable. And the lich shall reign once more!

Does the smell of makeup ever take you back to waiting backstage for your cue, or are you even a theater kid?

Félix: kidnapping is a love language Kagami: you have no social skills, idiot

*two weeks later*

Félix: okay, so when Marinette's at her most vulnerable, I'll gaslight her into thinking I'm her boyfriend, so she'll follow me into an abandoned building where we can put her in an altered mental state and present to her my family's life story in the imaginable most cryptic play of theater she has ever seen, which will reveal to her our horrible secret and the fact that her abusive father-in-law is also her arch-nemesis Kagami: you're so big brained, bae 🥰

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!

[bananonbinary]

i saw a post yesterday i think that was like "dnd got easier when i realized i was the author and not the character" and im still baffled about it like. is that not how you play every game?? you think when i play settlers of catan or monopoly or whatever i'm playing the way i, the human person would realistically react? no!! i am making cutthroat alliances with the other players at the table just for the Drama of it all when we all inevitably betray each other. are yall out here playing boardgames or even videogames as if you suddenly got isekai'd into them??

Dame Aylin is just like me fr because if I had the incredible good fortune to be bonded at the soul to Isobel Thorm, I would also be fucking her constantly and be the loudest, most dramatic Theater Kid Lesbian about making sure that EVERYBODY knew

Why Jason Grace is The Most Tragic Character in the Riordanverse

*in no way is this trying to dial down Nico's own suffering, I'm just stating my case for Jason because godsdamn SOMEBODY needs to say it!*

@most-tragic-character-tournament here's propoganda i came out guns ablazing

List of why fans are saying Nico:

Lost his mother

lost years of his life

found out he was a demigod at age 10

lost sister at 10

rough relationship with his dad

closeted gay

crush is madly in love with somebody else

forced to come out

List of why Jason is more tragic:

Lost his mom to alcoholism/mental decline

Lost his ENTIRE FUCKING CHILDHOOD because Said Mom gave him up to Juno to be raised by a PACK OF WOLVES who would've EATEN HIM if he was WEAK FOR EVEN A SECOND - AS A FUCKING TWO YEAR OLD

Was a trained demigod FROM THE GET-GO (again, TWO YEARS OLD)

Because of previously stated separation, was TAKEN FROM HIS SISTER WHO LOVED HIM SO MUCH SHE RAN AWAY BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T TAKE THE GUILT AND FEAR AND RAGE THAT FILLED HER AT HIS ABSENCE

Was set up into a "perfect" relationship by Juno/Hera WHILE HAVING HIS MEMORIES TAKEN

Jason may not have had the awful forced outting Nico had to go through, but...that's not really his fault? Nobody has any control over their sexual identity, and Jason? Well. He never really got to explore it. Because that was taken from him too.

Thinks he LOST LEO VALDEZ, ONE OF HIS ACTUAL FIRST FRIENDS, WHO LIKED HIM FOR HIM AND NOT BECAUSE OF HIS STATUS

FORCED TO COMPLY TO A DEMANDING SOCIETY THAT EXALTED HIM FROM DAY 1 BECAUSE HIS DAD IS THE OH-SO-IMPORTANT JUPITER (*cough victim of nepotism cough*)

AND WHEN HE TRIES TO COMBAT THAT NEPOTISM HE KEEPS GETTING PUSHBACK UNTIL HE FALTERS

then. then his girlfriend breaks up with him - not because of any drama, or even a disagreement, but over a very valid point

their relationship didn't exactly start out very...honestly. Jason had been mind-wiped of all memories and Piper had fake ones implanted into her to make her think she liked Jason as more than a friend. sure. they had a pretty nice relationship, but when everything slowed down and they took a look at their lives?

Piper's the one who sees it first, and makes the decision. Jason is heartbroken, but understands - he even, dare I say, agrees that they should end the relationship. it was built on fake memories - you could say it was built on lies.

and now Jason has this opportunity to step back and analyze who he is and what he wants.

what he finds is depressing. everything he's had, everything's he's been up till now...

it's not him.

he never wanted to be raised by Lupa and her wolves.

he never wanted to be Jupiter's son

he never wanted to be the exalted leader Camp Jupiter praised him for

From day 1 his life was somebody else's. his first steps were under the tutelage of a wolf, not of the loving eyes of his sister

Camp Jupiter only ever saw him as the demigod to be praised and turn to above all others, even before he became praetor.

Jason's life...was never his own.

and now that he's away from all that pressure and expectation...he doesn't know who he is.

Son of Jupiter?

Champion of Juno?

Praetor of the Twelfth Legion?

Member of the Prophesized Seven?

Hero of Olympus?

no. he was never himself under these names.

he was never...Jason.

but maybe now he could start navigating his own life. without some god intervening for once. this would be good for him, and for Piper, to find their own way.

but then. then they talk to Herophile...and find out one of them will die. And Jason? Well, he's not going to let Piper be taken from the life she deserves. he may not be her boyfriend, her knight in shining armor, but he sure as HELL loves her - especially as a friend. And if there's one thing you should know about Jason? It's that he loves his friends.

so what does he do? He sacrifices himself. He duels Caligula himself, and urges Piper, Meg, and Apollo to Go, save yourselves! and -

he's stabbed. through the chest. the only thing he can do? Look to Apollo, to the blue gaze so much like his own drenched in horror, and ask; Remember. because he didn't get to live the life he wished, but maybe Apollo could - no, Apollo can, he can make the difference Jason wanted. Because he trusts Apollo.

Jason doesn't regret his sacrifice. he saved Piper from the prophecy, after all. He saved Apollo & Meg's lives too.

in fact, Jason didn't really mind dying. Because he didn't have much of a life either. And a life like that? shrug It's worth sacrificing for those who deserve theirs.

and as icing on the cake, remember who Jason's father is? The almighty, all-powerful Jupiter himself, King of the Gods?

he doesn't do a damn thing to help Jason. Not a single. Thing.

because Jupiter/Zeus doesn't care about his children. Especially his sons.

Zeus saved Thalia. But he didn't even try to save Jason.

Trying would have at least lessened the pain...

People like to claim Jason is a bland, boring character who's never suffered a minute in his life. That he's a golden retriever with no flaws.

Well.

Take a look up there and ask yourself - it that the life of a boy who knows no suffering?

Because it sure as hell don't look that way to me.

To me, it looks like Jason was a used, depressed young man who never got to choose his own path. Who's father abandoned him first to his wife's mercy, then to a cruel emperor's.

Jason Grace suffered.

and he never got to live that happy life he saw within the Fates.

Never got to get that family, those grandchildren he saw himself telling the story of the Argo II to.

Because The Fall of Jason Grace is a true, utter tragedy.

Eyyy it's Red Boi and McMan!

i dont know about any other schools, but in my school if you ask anyone after a production if there sad tje play is over, they will 98% of the time say no. like dont get me wrong theres that pit of sadness that stays for a couple days, and the production was so much fun the cast is absolutely lovely but also holy fuck i never want to do that again(and yes i will infact do that again)

you learn of the audition the day off and havw a day to memorize a monologue, for a few months your giving up half of every week to rehearsal, lines are never memorized on time, theres always that one scene that everyone has trouble on and is just shit, tech week, the poor tech never have enough time to learn cues, the poor band durring musicals dont get an actual pit and have to squeeze in a small nook back stage, something probably went wrong with coustumes, and then someone shows up late to call time or there sick, you dont have all the set ready, not everyone is fully off book, the theater is to fucking hot because for some reason they wont to fix our air conditioning, the show never starts on time, you didn't have time to eat dinner, the green room is to small and a mess, and theres way to much shit backstage

so no bestie, i am not sad, i am overjoyed i dont have to keep doing that, and yes bestie yes i will do that again the earliest chance i get because holy fuck i hate theater but its litterly the best thing ever

Finally listened to Dylan Mulvaney's song and?? I don't get the negative hype about it, it was frankly a cute song. Also the "playin' catch-up 'cause we missed the pre-game" made me laugh, it was a good line. Dylan, you've done it again!
