#thoughts at midnight

[visd3stele]

the choice they made with Medusa in the pjo disney+ series is GENIUS! she's so complex in the dew minutes she has on screen and i love it!!

they tell HER story too. the story of the priestess of athena r*ped by poseidon on the temple's stairs and cursed by the disgusted goddess. the reason why she's a symbol of sa survivors. sure they toned it down, but the essence was there. she's no monster who hates annabeth the second she meets her because she's the daughter of her executioneer. she's a lonely, sad, hurt and bitter woman.

auntie m in the books was deceitful and fooled even annabeth. she only got worried when she learned of medusa's identity. but in the tv series they already know who she is, so medusa had to be be more convincing, genuine in her kindness.

she doesn't leave percy out of her vengance because he's the son of her great love, neither does she punish him instantly for his father's sins. she waits to see if annabeth and percy are like their parents and, when in her mind it's confirmed they are (percy didn't fight for the one he loves – his mother – to protect his friends, like his father stood aside as she paid for his actions and annabeth is proud and refuses to bend her views or admit she was wrong just like her mother), medusa attacks.

Random midnight thought…

There are questions that you’ll never get the answers to…

[pretendingtoexist16]

Here I am just staring at these four walls again,

Wishing they’d stop mocking me and close in,

Corners and shadows whispering an end in my ears,

But all I see are just empty threats staring back at me.

Avery/Eden Thoughts

So this has 0 basis in canon (as far as I know), but awhile ago my brain just decided that Avery and Eden are exes and uhh the brainworms increased from there so I thought I'd share.

Before getting into it, I'll note that in my playthrough they're both women so my HCs are definitely influenced by that. Not sure if it'll be obvious or not but I figured it was worth mentioning!

I have 0 idea if this is confirmed/denied anywhere but as far as this goes: Avery and Eden are roughly the same age, a year or so apart at most. I also think of them both as being 30-40, typically mid thirties.

So in my mind, Eden used to live in the town but was already on their way out by the time they were in high school, spending more and more time in the forest, etc. In my mind they had a sorta similar upbringing to PC, either bouncing around foster care or their parents were at least emotionally absent, but they didn't grow up in the orphanage.

IMO they're probably already pretty strong from all the time they spend out in the forest, or probably getting into fights with people.

Given that and the fact that they're pretty anti social, I think in high school they already were considered pretty intimidating, and they had the physique to back it up.

With Avery, I once again have 0 idea on what canon is or what Vrel maybe has said on the topic, but in this very specific context: I think their parents were successful and affluent business people and Avery was regularly expected to show up at rich people parties or whatever. Their parents also would have had Concerns about their child's safety, and probably insist upon a bodyguard.

However, Avery does not want to have a stuffy bodyguard with them at these engagements, they're of the opinion that they can take care of themselves perfectly well, but if their parents are going to INSIST: Avery will find someone suitable themselves.

Which is where Eden enters the picture.

Is Eden interested in Avery? No.

Is Eden interested in this kind of socialite nonsense? Also no.

Is Eden interested in building up some savings so they can be self sufficient and get the hell out of this town? Yes.

Is Avery offering significant pay for what is ultimately very little actual work? They sure are!

So when Avery approaches them about being a bodyguard for them + acting like they're a couple (to a point), and Avery is offering to pay really well for this... Eden begrudgingly says they'll do it at least the one time.

Eden ends up finding the work to be tiring and annoying but less exhausting than any other work they can find, and again: the pay is great!!

They also end up catching feelings for Avery, who turns out to have a good sense of humor and the ability to be incredibly charming. Avery is very aware of this, and whether or not they return Eden's feelings is a mystery, but they're certainly willing to use this to their advantage.

So they end up sleeping together on more than one occasion, and this arrangement goes on for like a year or so. Eden is p sure Avery doesn't return their feelings, but they ignore that. Avery is getting attached, but isn't happy about it.

And then the importance of Avery having a bodyguard becomes very real when they're attacked or something, and Eden protects them, but in the process gets a pretty nasty injury on their face.

Once Avery realizes that Eden is going to have a VERY nasty scar, they end things.

At this point, they're both out of high school and Avery is very aware of how important appearances are. This has been fun, but Avery really can't be seen with someone whose reputation as "aspiring forest hermit" becomes quite hard to deny when they look like they lost a fight with a bear.

Eden is crushed (and angry), and without anything tying them to the town anymore, they fully move into the forest and their half built cabin. Avery dumping them ends up giving Eden quite a complex about their appearance (though other people's comments also contributed).

The two of them never speak again.

(Probably)

Why do I get the feeling that this dumbass twink is into goths? More specifically tall goths?! This might just be a weird twelve am thought but he looks like he's got a thing for goths that can step on him.

Has anyone ever looked back on their life and thought about what they could've done or said differently? Am I the only one that feels lik this, but in a depressing state of mind?

the most unsettling thing about portal 2 ending is what is in next for chell? where could she go, in this broken world? would the new civilization accept her, but more importantly, would she accept them? are there even any human survivors left after 50,000 years? will she be the first human again after so long?

Someday I will write the Walter Blythe/Frodo Baggins comparison in my heart, and how both of their authors lived through WW1, but differently.

Because Tolkien was there. Tolkien lived in Europe, Tolkien lost and lost and lost, so Frodo gets to see his home, gets to see the world he helped make, before he leaves to heal. And Frodo gets to heal, but he doesn't get to stay home. He leaves behind no sweetheart--he is the sacrificial lamb, the hallowed priest, the Christ figure. And Sam, like Peter, is his heir.

(Maybe Rosie is the Magdalene, those two years Frodo remains with them.)

Walter doesn't get that. Maud didn't send her sons, but the town she lived in did--and some of them never came back. Walter never comes back--never realizes the girl he leaves he leaves behind him, has no heir to bequeath all he might have had. Walter is not a Christ figure--Walter stands for all the young men who never returned to their rainbow valleys, and Una all the girls who watched, and waited, until they could no longer wait, and needed to rebuild their dreams.

we seal mike flanagan away for a year and then every october he re-emerges like a progressively more insane little show business gremlin to put a curse on my bloodline

[visd3stele]

there's always a show of humanity in the arena. the Games were elevated on the basis that humans are vile and will turn to being predatory animals capable of doing anything to defend themselves if cornered and threatened (it's the lesson dr. Gaul gives Coryo when she sends him after Sejeanus).

but, in all Games we've seen so far, there are proves against it. first, Katniss sings to Rue and makes her a bed of flowers, defying the Capitol. she refuses to kill untill she has to and defies the Capitol again by choosing death over killing Peeta. then Reaper tears down the flag and makes a graveyard for the fallen tributes out of it, a blanket to trade for food, a cape to show his defiance of the Capitol. Lucy Gray too decides to flip the finger on dr. gaul's believes. she stays with Jessup, singing to him, closing his eyes, lulling him to the sleep of death. she sings to the Capitol while snakes climb her body, sending a message of rebellion. they can't tame her. they can kill her bldy, but not her spirit. nor Katniss', nor Reaper's.

Just floating through life passive and uncaring. Hoping to go unseen and unnoticed. Craving nothing yet feeling so damn alone.
