it's no coincidence that zoe died staring at the stars. and no doubt did the stars stare back, offering her a warm welcome and a light to guide her home. it's no coincidence that silena also died staring at the stars. a skylight opening and revealing beckendorf, her guiding light home. but this begs the question. as thalia died atop half-blood hill, was she too staring at the stars? did she long for an end, for the sky to open and the stars to welcome her home like she had always read about? and does she now like awake at night, staring at the stars, long for the peace her newfound immortality has now made inattainable? because i never stopped thinking about it.

So like one common theme when discussing bullying is the tendency for bullies to project their insecurities on their victims right? like them taking their own shit out on the people they bully?

so i know that may not be exaaaactly the case with Max Jagerman in Nerdy Prudes Must Die like the dude even in the afterlife just really fuckin likes terrorising the shit out of people due to his god complex BUUUUT what I found very interesting was when in the Nerdy Prudes Must Die sequence, he was telling Richie to repeat after him: "Who will pray for me when my body's gone or until another Richie comes along?" And mind you, this song comes directly after another musical sequence about all the teens in that high school being so fucking happy that Max was gone. And like, well yea you can't blame the kids for being happy that Top Terrorizer #1 is gone and that they don't have to abide by his social strata anymore - but then again, having nobody pray or give a fuck about Max after him being mysteriously missing for 2 weeks is,,kinda fucked up for Max no matter the kind of person he is. So, to see someone he victimised get the attention and appreciation I would assume Max would've wanted from his team especially after being missing for so long - it really does seem to me that he was projecting onto Richie when he was about to kill him and making him feel how little he will matter to other people when he dies - like what he could've felt after literally everyone considered the high school "objectively better" now that Max was gone.

Which makes things a whole lot more interesting when Max snaps out of his WHO WILL PRAY FOR YOU solo when Richie belts out I'M NOT A LOSER - henceforth defying the idea of worthlessness Max was projecting onto Richie. So damn.

ok but how funny would it be for an adaptation of The Murderbot Diaries to be told from the humans' perspectives? Every single one of the books would translate directly into a superficially generic sci-fi horror/thriller as the humans face off against whatever threat (giant alien fauna, killer robots, evil corporations, alien remnant contamination, etc) until the world's snarkiest, most anxiety-riddled deus ex machina comes wall-jumping in to save the day in sweat pants and steel toed boots. Brilliant.

Jercy’s theme song after Jason died is “this is what losing someone feels like” by JVKE.

Because he never told Jason that he loved him.

Because he loved Annabeth too and was afraid to lose her.

Because Percy was Greek and Jason was Roman.

Because the sky and the sea were never supposed to be together.

You're going to help me pay my rent? If I help you find your head. Sure! Why not. Centuries-old German soldier needs my help. Could kill me at any time. First day of work in a new town. Mean landlady. Cute girl at the not-a-drugstore. This is a lot.

Character Analysis: The Seven (Riordanverse)

Each of the seven have issues:

Percy is suicidal as in most of his POVs there is a large lack of regard for his life, multiple times stating he believes people will be better off without him and even stating he wanted to drown in TLF and SoM. On top of that... Physically abused as a kid. C'mon we all remember and hate Gabe. I hate how his entire character was literally forgotten about, despite the fact that an abusive parent should stick with a kid for quite some time.

Here's my headcanon for that. It wasn't forgotten, just not acknowledged. We all remember in the earlier books Percy was pretty much apologizing for doing anything right. That's a trait instilled in people who are used to getting abuse for doing anything. I could just be reading into it too much, and I probably am, but it's the only thing that reassures me that this wasn't forgotten about.

In fact I don't think Rick really understood the implications of what Gabe's actions would have done to Percy as he stated that in the upcoming show Timm Sharp's performance as Gabe had everyone laughing and I think that's the only thing I am slightly apprehensive about in the show.

His lack of self-worth is honestly probably a result of Gabe and I feel so angry that it was never touched.

Annabeth has abandonment issues as nearly everyone she has ever loved has left her at some point. Her mother disowned her after TLH, her father chose her mortal family over her and ignored her as she grew up, Luke betrayed her and Thalia joined the Hunters. There was even that time when Chiron was going to leave for good in SoM. That was why she was so threatened by Rachel. Because she was taking away the one good person left who stood by her.

Yes I just ignored Grover. I realize that.

Jason suffers from image issues as he was put on a pedestal from day one, even as a child just because his daddy was a king. He does NOT get enough credit my man suffered as a kid. This was probably one of the only ones where Rick actually tried to address the problem and eventually he found his calling and grew past that. Then Trials of Apollo came along. *Ugly sobbing intensifies*

Piper suffers from neglect from her father who didn't have enough time to spend with her and from her mother leaving. Even when her mother was there in Charleston, she paid much more attention to Hazel and Annabeth than she did to her own daughter.

Leo... Where to start? The kid was homeless and slept in sewers. That on its own is just sad but even more, he believed he was the reason his mom was dead. He was shunned by his own flesh and blood and was forced to retreat behind the comfort of his machines and even then, Festus was brutally taken away by those lasers. Rick really just pulled out the most brutal, sad backstory for this kid ever.

Frank is one of the less traumatized ones but still, a dead mother and having to watch his home burn down with his grandmother inside? Not good.

Hazel... Pulled out of time into unfamiliar circumstances. Having to deal with the knowledge that her childhood friend moved away, thinking that it was his fault that Hazel left (Sammy and the diamond). Having to deal with the knowledge that she was part of the reason one of the giants had risen. Forcibly exiling herself from Elysium into Asphodel just so her mom wouldn't suffer. And speaking of her mom... Maria Levesque's treatment of Hazel, acting as if she were a curse and not a living child, making her sympathize with the Minotaur of all creature, would leave lasting scars on all of them.

The most consolation I can get for this is that it looks like most of them have managed to move past all of this. Jury is still out on Annabeth and Percy as I have not read CotG yet but I'm hopeful.

Except Jason. They just had to completely overhaul him by ripping away the relationship he had with Piper, which didn't need to happen, right before he died.

My reason for not liking the Jasiper break up is the fact that, the argument that they were forced into the relationship happened at the wrong time. This was after they had done a fresh start of the end of BoO. Anytime before that I can understand, but at that point? There was no reason. Then they just had to kill my boy. RICK I SWEAR TO ALL THE GODS IF THIS HAPPENS TO ANYONE IN THE WRATH OF THE TRIPLE GODDESS AND WHATEVER THE FINAL BOOK OF THIS NEW TRILOGY IS I WILL FIND YOU!

Apologies I get a bit worked up sometimes.

DON'T KILL GROVER

It's a bad habit.

PERCABETH BETTER NOT FACE ANY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS THEY ARE PERFECT DON'T RUIN IT!

Anyways, Knight out!

still haven't read stormbringer but i cannot stop thinking about that one rimlaine tweet i saw that was one of those "do you think we're soulmates in another universe?" "that isn't fair, i want you in this one" tweets solely bc i now know that the real life verlaine and rimbaud were actually in a relationship. the real life verlaine and rimbaud didn't get to be happy in this universe. but do you think they were in another one? or do you think it's inevitable that verlaine shoots rimbaud. do you think they're soulmates in another universe? do you think they're soulmates, not in the sense that they're destined for a happily ever after, but in the sense that their souls will always find each other and still, they will never be allowed happiness? do you think they're soulmates in every universe, but it doesn't even matter? do you think that they are stuck, no matter which time or place they may find themselves in, no matter which lifetime, no matter which universe, no matter the details, do you think they are stuck living out the same story? will it always end the same way? is that what it means to have a soulmate? do you think they were soulmates in this universe? do you think they were soulmates in another? do you think it would change anything if they were?

hi! if you feel inspiration for it (and you haven’t done so already) the blurring of lines between friendship and being in love from someone? like when does it cross from platonic to something more, or being completely platonically in love with someone to the point where it feels like romance? if that makes sense lol

[kiyooriu]

idk how to word it properly but the way they equated max to basically being god and then they have grace get rid of max by giving him her chastity and allowing the lords in black to take him

BUT ALSO.

grace used to be a devout christian(?) but in the end turns to the black book to cleanse the world of anyone she deems as perverted and dirty instead of just pushing her religion and values onto others (like how she was protesting against the coed dance in the beginning)

IDK IF I INTERPRETED IT RIGHT BUT GOD I LOVE STARKID WRITING
