38 Caleo

38. “You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.”

Leo wasn’t exactly sure what he’d done, but he knew one thing: it had been stupid.

That was easy enough to figure out, seeing that he had, after all, woken up in the infirmary. Though to be fair, there wasn’t anyone standing over him and screaming, and no one was there sobbing, so that was a definitely plus.

He did a quick sweep of the room as he sat up too fast. He blinked rapidly as his vision became spotted.

A hand grabbed his arm, steadying him when he groaned. “Are you okay?”

He blinked Calypso into view and she smiled.

“That was stupid,” he muttered.

She shook her head. “I thought I told you that before. You should really listen to me more often.”

Leo frowned. He wasn’t sure what she was talking about but— “I meant sitting up that fast, but I’m guessing you’re right anyway.”

Calypso’s gaze followed his arms as he gestured to the room. “I am right. You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes,” she teased.

He felt his face grow hot as he mumbled, “Uh… yeah. Those extremes. Super extreme. Intense…extremity…?”

She leaned forward. “You do know what happened, right?”

Leo shrugged. “I mean do I want to? Honestly, I might just try it again.”

Calypso rolled her eyes. “I’d hope not. Because maybe next time I won’t be standing there to catch you.”

“But you have to catch me,” he protested, giving her a grin. “I’m falling for you!”

Reblogging. always. always. always.

when did we replace the word “said” with “was like”

squidsqueen

When it occured to us that “said” implies a direct quote, while “was like” clarifies that you mean to communicate the person’s tone and general point without quoting them word for word.

what do you mean it wasn't handled seriously it wasmn't a problem to begni with

Maybe you missed that chapter?

Jason grinned. “You got it. How you feeling?”“Better. I…I have to admit, when I was choking on that poison, I kept thinking about Akhlys, the misery goddess in Tartarus. I almost destroyed her with poison.” He shivered. “It felt good, but in a bad way. If Annabeth hadn’t stopped me—”But she did,” Jason said. “That’s another thing friends have to do for each other.”“Yeah… Thing is, as I was choking just now, I kept thinking: this is payback for Akhlys. The Fates are letting me die the same way I tried to kill that goddess. And…honestly, a part of me felt I deserved it. That’s why I didn’t try to control the giant’s poison and move it away from me. That probably sounds crazy.”Jason thought back to Ithaca, when he was despairing over the visit from his mom’s spirit. “No. I think I get it.”Percy studied his face. What Jason didn’t say any more, Percy changed the subject. … (p. 208, possibly wrong because nook pages)

[post in question]

And that was it. It was just brushed off and never talked about again, and seriously, when your friend thinks that they deserve to die, you say something. You do something.

Percy was trying to see what Jason had to say, how Jason felt, if he could relate, if he could help in some way, but let’s just never talk about it again that’s fine

homospockual

Okay, I’m sorry, I don’t normally add to people’s posts, but I started ranting in the tags and it got cut off and??? This is really important to me??? Because when I originally read this scene, I was almost happy. Because WOW SPN left me with really awful standards for what counted as “helping” in matters like this. I kept thinking, “Well, gosh, at least he asked.”

But the weeks passed and I kept thinking about it, and I got angrier and angrier until I was, like, BLAZINGLY RAGEFUL over this scene. I hated this scene like you fall asleep; slowly and then all at once, because it started hitting me exactly what happened here. Percy unloads all of this on Jason-no, no, I’m wrong-he starts to. You can see him holding back, hoping that Jason will ask so he an excuse to not feel needy for wanting to talk more and get all this awfulness out of his system.

Jason hears the first bits, he hears that Percy feels angry and out of control lately, and that he thinks himself monstrous for struggling and thought the world would be better off without him and he just…does nothing? He carries on with his day?

The longer I thought about that, the more I just wanted to slap Jason good and hard. That’s not okay. It’s NOT. I want to cry writing this, honestly, I can’t believe I feel like I have to say that if your BRO says that he was suicidal, you should acknowledge it, you should HELP. It’s your RESPONSIBILITY.

I’m sorry I’m so emotional, and I’m sorry I’m so bitter, and I know I’m ranting, but this really rankles. Like, I get it. I really do. Mental health is messy and uncomfortable and sometimes you don’t want to help. But if you’re going to call yourself somebody’s friend, you can’t just abandon them like that. No, you likely can’t fix it, but you could TRY. You could show them you give a single, solitary crap.

tl;dr-I get really sensitive about Percy’s mental health, sensitive enough to talk on a post more than I have in years, and SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP PERCY JACKSON.
