I’m going to paint you a picture of modern communication, and how it is fundamentally broken.

Let’s look at one friend. You chat pretty much everyday, and mostly talk to this person on twitter and discord, with occasional tumblr DMs. That’s three places you talk. But that’s actually not true, because you also have each other’s priv twitters and talk there as well. That’s four. Now account for, let’s say, one post reply per account per person, in addition to your DMs. That’s eight. But that’s ALSO not true, because not only do you talk in discord DMs with each other, but you’re in a friend group server as well! And you talk in those channels together! That’s nine.

This is one friend.

Now look around you. How many friends, how many mutuals are you in contact with. A few, a handful, a dozen, more? How many accounts per person do you have, how many places can you send each other posts, devolve into separate topics and conversations? How many people text you as well. Friends, family, coworkers? What do you do day to day around catching up, what IRL commitments will rip you away long enough to let the pile build again?

I can’t do it. I cannot live an actual life in the real world and balance this much interaction, it’s crushing. I reply to a friend’s post because I’m interested in the subject, I want to have a discussion! I WANT to talk about it with them, but I immediately kick myself for adding another conversation to the pile. Day by day, I ignore messages for hours on end and watch mountains pile around me, to reply en masse at the end of the night to let the cycle repeat. I wake up to six discord DMs and as I clear the third, the first replies back again.

We weren’t meant to have thirty simultaneous conversations. We weren’t. And you know in your bones that the number isn’t an exaggeration.

Will and Naomi Solace don't normally celebrate Easter considering the whole she slept with a Greek god, had a demigod child but could only tell her small-town religious family that she had a one nightstand and got pregnant thing. She had been told they still loved her but was still publicly shamed and shunned until she got famous for her music.

Will didn't think his grandparents, uncles, or aunts deserved his mom in their lives after what they put her through, but he figured if she could forgive them, he could too. Except they didn't know he was bisexual. They didn't know about Nico. Will had been all too willing to tell his sweet, loving, adoring mother about his boyfriend. He made sure Nico knew when he first brought it up that there was no rush, and just like when it came to everything, he was willing to wait forever. (Nico had actually stared at him in disbelief, and with the oh-so-noticeable red splashing across his pale skin muttered a quiet, "Idiota". Will didn't need to be fluent in Italian to know /that one/, even when he first heard it.)

Introducing Nico to his mother was a mistake, not because of any homophobia or monster attacks, but just how much they both love to embarrass him. His mother shares stories and shows pictures (which Will panics about because technology and demigods don't mix well) of a much younger and embarrassing Will, and by the look in Nico's eyes Will knows he is never living it down. In return, his mother learns of his embarrassing flirting in the middle of a war.

The memory was nice now, a year and a half later, especially since Will was currently on the verge of an entire mental breakdown. Being back in Texas had that effect on him. At camp, he locked away all panic, grief, loss, suffering in order to run the infirmary and be strong for his siblings, but here, he had no infirmary and no siblings. He could honestly care less of what these people thought of him - Lee's opinion had mattered, Michael's opinion had mattered, His mama's opinion matters, Nico's feelings and opinion matters. Hades, he cares more for Apollo's opinion than these people, and he was still struggling with his own complicated feelings towards his father - not that they ever showed outwardly.

Will was more worried that these people that shared blood with him would shame his and Nico's relationship and upset his boyfriend. Nico had suffered so much pain and suffering already, especially when it came to his sexuality and accepting that there wasn't anything wrong with himself for loving boys. Will was so proud of how far Nico had come and felt sick to his stomach at being an indirect cause of a relapse.

"You worry too much," The words sounded so beautiful that they must have been spoken by an angel. (They weren't, they were spoken by none other than Nico Di Angelo, but what can he say, he is Apollo's son. It is in his nature to be dramatic at least sometimes.)

"I don't think I worry enough. I mean, there is jus' so much that could go wrong. Mama-" Will shot Nico, who was failing to hide a wide smile, a curious expression unknowingly tilting his head slightly to the right. "What's so amusin' about this?"

"I think I finally understand what Lou Ellen meant when she called you a dog." Will stared blankly absolutely stunned out of his panic, his lips formed a small pout that was absolutely not adorable. Nico got up from where he sat comfortably on Will's bed and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist, resting his head on Will's shoulder. "Breathe. I'm already prepared to ditch this dinner and shadow-travel us both and your mother out somewhere nice at the slightest sign of trouble. Catholic guilt is a bitch, but I am done letting it, Gods, or anyone control my life."

Will felt both relieved and worried. Nico had learned so much about his boundaries with his powers over the last year, but it didn't mean Will didn't worry. "Is that why-?"

"Yes, that is why I slept so much today, il mio sole. Even before we left camp you were doing that nervous thing where you wrap bandages around your wrist. I figured something was bothering you and it had to do with our vacation. You love your mom, so it was obviously this dinner. I'm from the 30s, not an idiot, William, amore mio."

Will couldn't help but gently remove Nico's arm's from around him and sweep the boy off his feet. This frustrating, self-destructive, annoyingly attractive, smartass paid way too much attention to a simple healer such as himself, but Will couldn't imagine his life without Nico in it anymore. The half-hearted glare he received filled him with so much warmth and made him smile so wide it hurt, which in turn caused Nico to turn away to hide the slight upturn of his own lips.

Romancing Shadowheart as durge can have a lot of funny haha implications but the one I'm choosing to fixate on right now is Astarion sitting there one day, observing the band of tadfools and co at camp, and thinking

"If I had a coin for every selunite cleric I know that's in a relationship with the literal child of a god... I'd have two coins... which isn't much but still weird that it happened twice."

Fuck fuck fuck I read an article ab how itsv and atsv have together made like a billion dollars at the box office (not exaggeration that's what it said,,,) and this might (depending on how well btsv is received) mean Marvels gnna wanna make more animated movies,,,,,,, OHMYGOODNESS !!!! I think Spider-Verse is truly special bc it was like, the first of what it did (arguably),, BUT but it looks the way it does bc it was specifically animated with a comic book in mind and I assume that means we can take that premise/technology and apply it to other mediums and make more cool visually distinct animated movies using the same sort of technology !!!!!! Like we saw w that puss in boots movie that was sooo good bc it kind of looked like Spider-Verse but it was so obviously set in a fantasy land/storybook moreso than a comic book,,,,, if Marvel can get its shit together (it won't 🙁) it will use some critical thinking and use the technology and techniques used in Spider-Verse in new and creative ways and !!!!!! This is a massive win !!!!!!!!!! Bc idk ab y'all I got so attached to Spider-Verse at first bc of how fucking astonishingly beautiful it was and HOW GOOD the animation is (like I didn't even really properly have any idea what the fuck was actually going on until like watch three i just REALLY liked the art) and so if we get more movies w this sort of animation (but DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT, I would hope..) I think that wld be really really cool and we shld totally go in that direction I feel and I'm very very very very very excited about the idea we might be going in that direction !!!!!! More good movies !!!! More beautiful movies !!!!!!!!!!!! If you make a bad movie and animate it beautifully I probably won't even notice it's bad until like the third watch bc I'll be too distracted by how beautiful it is and by then I've already watched it three times !!!!!! More beautiful movies please !!!!! More beautiful movies that r all visually distinct though we all know what happened last time we 3D animated a movie and everyone else wanted to do it exactly the same way and get exactly the same 3D animation money

I start to drift off, finally getting some sleep

And then

I have one singular thought:

“Charlie and Quackities characters are always doomed to fall, and when one goes the other is close behind”

My eyes shoot open

I am once again awake, tortured by the knowledge I hold.
