When Cas and Dean are at the bar waiting for the cupid to show up at the end of season 8, as soon as the woman enters and speaks with the barman Dean says that it's like the first 5 minutes of every porn he has seen, thinking the future couple is going to be the barman with the woman.
But the thing is, Cas probably knows already who the cupid is. The woman. So, from his perspective he might think that Dean is referring to gay porn.

We all know about most of these by now, but I thought it'd be fun to make a comprehensive list of all the things of varying degrees of insanity both Jayce and Viktor have done in the series to, for and because of each other: 1. Viktor looking at Jayce in the most intense but also thoroughly enchanted way in the council room scene
Tumblr media Tumblr media

Tumblr media Tumblr media

17. Viktor yearning for Jayce each day, for each of those 7 years ("Viktor wanted things Jayce couldn't give him at the time")

103. That one shot directly after where Viktor looks up from where their hands are touching and he has this expression on his face as if FINALLY realizing that he is no longer alone because of how Jayce truly feels about him. 104.

Danny: If I have to stare at another Excel data sheet, I'm going to scream.
Tucker: Bad day at work?
Danny: Yes. I made a mistake in the company share drive and had to spend all afternoon correcting the data.
Sam: Wasn't that data collected for like the past 6 months?
Danny: You can see why it took me hours. Not to mention how my manager reacted.
Tucker: Was he mad?
Danny: Worse. He was happy to have me go up to the CEO and explain why the bi-annual report was going to be late.
Sam: That's horrible. What did the CEO say?
Danny: I don't know. I was too busy staring at the floor, shamed-face. He laughed after I said the bi-annual report was going to take me two more weeks, and when I looked up, I lost all mental ability.
Sam: Let me guess, you were sent to CEO Tim Drake?
Danny: Yes
Sam: It's understandable that you couldn't function in the face of that.
Tucker: Care to share with the class?
Danny: I gay panicked so hard. I have no idea what happened in those thirty minutes. One second, I was in the doorway explaining to my shoes my mistake, and the next, I was back at my office cubbie, eating a cupcake. I dont know where the cupcake came from but it had a little plastic sign that said "Everyone makes mistake. Everyone has those days".
Tucker: Did that plastic sign also include Hannah Montana?
Danny: Yes.
Sam: Shit, hes hot, gives you food and is funny? Lock that down Danny.
Danny: Look what down!?
Tucker: Baby trap him.
Danny: I can not physically baby trap anyone Tucker.
Sam: Isn't Drake adopted? Go to park and pick out a kid. I'm sure Drake won't care its not his baby, when you trap him with it. Same beginnings and all that.
Tucker: Look for one with his hair or his nose.
Danny: You two are the worst roommates every. I shouldn't have moved in with you after completing our associates. I should have stayed in the student dorms for ny bachelor's.
Sam: Big talk from the boy with student loans and only six months of work on his resume.
Danny: I'm going to bed!
Tucker: Good idea, early to bed means we can wake up early and see what kids are available at the park tomorrow!

Help trans people in the UK!
TERF island sucks, however thousands of innocent people are harmed by their tyranny. Have sympathy for brits like me who would rather be born anywhere else.
An unprecedented attack on trans rights took place last Wednesday, with the UK Supreme Court writing trans people out of the Equality Act by redefining "woman" to only mean assigned female at birth.
Protests erupted across the country, with thousands taking to the streets to fight for trans rights. With our current government, our suffering falls on deaf ears.
Tumblr media
It won't be enough to just fight in the streets, but we need to fight in the courts. The UK Supreme Court is the highest court in the country, with no chance of appeal. However, there is hope.
The European Court of Human Rights can step in if we can get them to recognise this blatant violation of human rights. Leaving the EU doesn't get you out of it! This legal case will be time consuming and expensive, so please donate all that you can to help us win this fight. We're fighting JK Rowling money, but together we can make a difference!
If you can't donate, please share instead!
If you need to know how bad this situation really is, keep reading.
The Supreme Court's ruling, where 3 men decided what "woman" means, puts all women at risk. Male police officers in the UK now have the power to strip search any women they believe to be trans.
It is an offence to enter a single sex bathroom and changing room different from your birth sex, but also to enter one where your presence is "likely to cause offence". This leaves trans men and women with nowhere to go, as well as gender-non conforming cis people.
Non-binary people naturally have zero legal recognition whatsoever, the existence of trans men has been ignored again, and intersex people have been written out of existence.
Trans people are always sent to male prisons regardless of sex. If you don't know the horiffic ramifications of this, Google v-coding.
Gender Recognition Certificates, which were supposed to update your legal sex for all purposes, have been rendered functionally worthless. Trans people are being forced into their assigned sex at birth.
Trans women are banned from rape crisis shelters, domestic abuse protection, and discrimination claims such as equal pay. Trans women have also unsurprisingly been banned from Women's sports.
Trans women are banned from all lesbian groups and organisations, and not just that, cis women are too if they're dating a trans woman. The court ruled that "lesbian" means "AFAB attracted to AFAB", making cis women dating trans women legally straight. The definition also means bi women aren't a thing in UK law now - just a sidenote!
Trans people sent to hospital wards are now always housed according to their assigned sex at birth, regardless of their comfort.
If you're a trans minor, your life is even harder. Puberty blockers and HRT, despite being completely safe and legal for cis people, are banned nation wide for trans youth. The only "help" offered is conversion therapy, which the government calls "exploratory therapy".
And if you're thinking "well, people won't comply" or "My workplace is friendly," then I regret to inform you that this isn't allowed. The UK expects all organisations to update their policies to be trans exclusionary by this summer, and the so-called "Equality and Human Rights Commission" has announced they will persue any organisation which doesn't immediately comply.
By the way, earlier this year the EHRC made the trans panic defense legal. Even kissing someone without disclosing that you're trans is enough to get you convicted with sexual assault. Trans people must always out themselves before any relationship forms or be charged with a sex crime.
Any organisation with bathrooms, changing rooms, rape crisis centres, etc. will be for Ed to exclude trans people. If an organisation lets a trans woman (who in UK law is now legally a man) into a women-only space, they lose the right to operate the single sex space, and can be successfully sued for not letting cis men into it.
The EHRC's recommendation? Trans people use their "powers of advocacy" to request "third spaces" with regards to toilets. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
Tumblr media
We CAN put a stop to this. We CAN defeat transphobia. Bigotry has fallen before and it can fall again. Be the side history remembers fondly.
We'll let you mock our accent if you stop innocent people from suffering first.

if you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! let’s get to know the person behind the blog <3.
Ah crap. Uhhhhhh
Good Kid is the first band I’ve ever been obsessed with. Did not know before this that I could be obsessed with music. Here I am
I’m a pharmacy technician! I both hate it and love it—by far the best part of it is the kids, ages 5-13, who just discovered they could pick the flavor of their own medicine.
I live two hours away from the Mexican border. Half my family is very Mexican. The other half immigrated over here at least five generations ago and is functionally white. What does that make me? …Who knows.

Trying to make a distinction between bisexuals as being attracted to “two genders” vs pansexuals being attracted to “all genders” is really silly im sorry like… what secret genders are there that pansexual people would be into that the average bi person would not enjoy too. Unless they’re some kind of conservative bisexual who really hates the blue haired androgynous nonbinaries, and even then it’s likely they could be attracted to that person if they did not present themselves as too gnc or “weird”… MOST people are sexually attracted to others not based on the gender they identify as but because of their perceived visual sex (im talking about sex characteristics that are like immediately perceivable upon meeting someone… not genitals) and this is just… how everyone kind of understands the world to work even if we don’t say it out loud…. If I at first perceive a person to be a hot gay guy and then I learn they are nonbinary that doesn’t mean I stop thinking they’re hot and that doesn’t suddenly make me something other than a gay man. So tell me how a bisexual person is functionally different than a pansexual when likely both are attracted to the range of human bodies expressions that exist between the two sexes, not “genders” lol

i know a lot of people talk about the Cupid Scene as not being great as Nico's coming out story (which i think is a complex matter but that's a rant for another day), but I personally find it way more compelling if it's just not Nico's coming out story at all - it's the beginning of Jason's.
Because it doesn't really work or make sense to be Nico's, right? It's not Nico's pov. Nico doesn't have a POV at all in this book. And in House of Hades, the Cupid Scene is one of the first major things Nico gets to do right out of the box jar. Why introduce a character, have him be outed as gay, lead the crew around, and then leave to go travel with someone else all in one book where he's not even a POV? It's also contrary to the way Nico generally functions as a character - he's either exposition, dues ex machina, or damsel in distress. He's kind of a damsel here, but ultimately he doesn't need anyone else to save him - or even be there. He handles it on his own. Jason is mostly just a witness.
But, if you view the Cupid Scene as being about Jason, it narratively fits a lot more; Jason at this point is dating Piper, and they're three books deep into their relationship. TLH they start dating and are relatively happy with it and where they are. SoN is a skip but we know they're happily dating during that time, and then Mark of Athena we get a slight shift. Jason and Piper see Percy and Annabeth and go "Oh! They're perfect. Their relationship is perfect. We could be happier if we were more like them." Piper and Jason are also both characters who go through an identity turmoil in general - particularly about how both of them want to be perceived by others and who they are as people. The things they identify with - their parents, their heritages, etc etc. Their orientations. Piper's get more focus earlier in HoO, and Jason gets more later.
The Cupid Scene is from Jason's POV, in a book where he is beginning to struggle with his identity and what people expect from him - particularly him not feeling like he perfectly fits with "either camp." He's too "Greek" to be "Roman" but too "Roman" to be "Greek." He's not quite one or the other. He doesn't meet the expectations either has for him. (This is bi-coding, if you couldn't tell. Just replace "Greek" and "Roman" with "Straight" and "Gay.") It starts with Cupid addressing Jason first, before Nico, very directly - asking him if he's so sure he's happy in his relationship? Does he really think it's perfect? Even Favonius very pointedly asks him if he really forget that guys can date guys? Do you have some internalized bias around that, Jason? Hm? Heck, they're both specifically in their Roman forms, not Greek. Why would they appear in their Roman forms if they're there for a Greek demigod? And very notably, they have this exchange:
Tumblr media
(remember what I said about the bi-coding with Jason's Greek/Roman identity crisis? I don't think it's coincidence that this so pointedly comes up during the Cupid scene.)
Favonius' introduction to the Cupid scene sets up Nico's portion of it, but Cupid almost exclusively speaks to Jason for the first half of it. Then Nico steps in. He diverts the conversation away from Jason and focuses the attention onto him. Nico's the one Cupid wants, he insists, not Jason. He's the target, not Jason. This is very in line with Nico's character - practically one of his core character traits is he trusts and starts caring about people very quickly, probably quicker than he should or even wants to, and will put himself in harm's way to prevent others from being hurt. The Cupid Scene isn't the start of Nico's coming out story - Nico already knows he's gay. He has no internal doubts about that. He's known it for awhile. He's just in the closet. And he starts coming out of his own free will in the next book, first to Reyna and Coach. The Cupid Scene is Nico recognizing that Favonius and Cupid are pushing Jason for something he's not ready for and hasn't figured out yet, but something Nico has and just hasn't said out loud yet. The Cupid Scene is Nico taking the proverbial bullet/literal arrow for Jason (Jason consistently describes the arrows as whizzing by him before striking near Nico, interestingly) and being outed so Jason isn't. And that presents Jason with the path to begin questioning his identity further. (Jason also then directly compares Cupid to Aphrodite, specifically her Greek form, which also ties into Jason's greek/roman stuff.)
And I don't think it's coincidence that Jason and Nico mirror each other so much, and that their arcs in HoH are so intertwined. The Cupid Scene functionally, on a meta level, establishes an explicitly queer character to parallel Jason and for him to bounce off of during his own arc. (And, also on a meta level, establishes to the audience to be sympathetic to queer struggles, with Jason's arc then proceeding to be a queer-coded struggle.) Jason is presented as having this strange level of isolation from how others perceive him in a positive way/the expectations people have of him that wraps around to something akin to Nico's ostracization as being an outsider and atypical demigod in general. Nico is a rouge - he explicitly expresses how he feels like he doesn't fit in at either camp (something he expresses explicitly during the Cupid Scene, mirroring Jason's simultaneous questioning his own place at Camp Jupiter) and a core part of his character is that he does function outside the rules and expectations of both camps. He operates on an entirely different realm to them. If the camps are an expectation of normative concepts of acceptable relationships, Nico is outside of that. And he recognizes that he operates outside of that and will never fully fit into the mold either expect of him, and he recognizes he doesn't need to fit in, even if he theoretically could force himself to fit that mold. Jason, meanwhile, is still locked within those boundaries, and grappling with this idea of how he can exist between them.
Nico hands Jason a goblet of poison and says "how much do you trust me?" and it's Nico challenging Jason to take his own advice about trusting others about their identities, and almost immediately after that Jason gives up his praetor title to Frank. Jason's Greek/Roman arc is directly tied to Nico and the Cupid scene. BoO ends with Jason asking Nico to stay at CHB so they can hang out that summer. By TOA, we learn that Nico has started dating and is staying at CHB (is exploring the niche of expected and socially accepted relationships) while Jason has broken up with Piper and is living away from both camps (rejecting hetero/allonormative expectations), still struggling with his own identity. They functionally swap places. And that's fascinating.
Anyways i think about Jason's bi-coding a lot.

Zayne is autistic. His special interest is anatomy. His safe food is dessert. This one is obviously very surprising to my mutuals as I have never ONCE mentioned zayne's autism on my blog EVER, trust.
Zayne is bisexual but he's too busy saving lives to gaf about that one devastating homoerotic friendship he had in senior year of high school
Xavier plays the linkon equivalents of genshin impact and animal crossing.
One time, Xavier sleepwalked to the kitchen and cooked something, while STILL SLEEPING, and it was the first time he ever made something actually good
Xavier listens to mumble rap I fear.
He also listens to SZA though
In college he lost his virginity to this hot girl in his grade and he was so weirdly good at it that she thought he was a highly experienced fuckboy and Xavier just didn't correct her (he had no clue what he was doing the whole time)
Xavier has a tad bit of depression but it's medicated so now he's jus a chill guy
Despite popular belief, Sylus is not in fact a top but a power bottom, and a masochist to boot. This man whimpered when you pushed him down in one of his stories or cards, there's a whole card where you tie him up and step on him, and yet there's only four bottom sylus fics on ao3. It's getting critical, step up your game LADS fandom bc I can't until I reach legal age.
Sylus is a BIIIG fifties ballad and jazz kind of guy, and he sings it in the shower. He really likes singing Can't Take My Eyes Off of You in there (III LOOOVE YOUUU BAAAYYYBAYYY AND IF ITS QUITE ALLRIGGGHT I NEED YOU BAAAYYYBBBAAYYY)
Sylus fucking loves labubus. Little floofy grinning devious monster bunnies. He loves them. He will get them at any cost. This man has gone to mephistophelian lengths for a labubu and we love that for him
Once pulled up to a function wearing full drag because his opps tried to bomb a drag race and then he shot them (the opps) dead, still wearing everything. He's also a bi king
Rafayel is pansexual but like zayne he lowk dgaf about labels. He's also either intersex or genderqueer of some kind but idk which to pick so he's just rafayel ig
Literally no toxic masculinity in this man and def no like urge to not act "gay" whatever that means
Once told Thomas completely sincerely that he'd suck him off if he let him skip a function. The look of pure horror in Thomas' eyes has never quite faded since
Desperate urge to act nonchalant leads him to talk like that. His real voice is actually very expressive, but he never lets it slip.
Invited to all the chorus girls' nights at every opera house he's in.
Had a phase where he wanted to learn to pole dance so he had a giant stripper pole installed in his house and now it's just there i guess?
He still remembers how to poledance btw. He's just lazy
Caleb is actually delusional as fuck and listens to chase atlantic
Used to scare the shit out of MC when they were in HS by doing that thing maui from moana did with his tits like moving them one by one
His brain chip can play music with a certain trigger so when conversations piss him off he just plays We R Who We R by Ke$ha so he doesn't have to hear it
Caleb has watched every movie about planes ever, and his favorite movie is in fact Airplane.
Disney adult /derogatory
