[first night together]
Selina: It's time to strip and make the bed.
Bruce: Okay, if that's what poor people do.
Bruce: *starts unbuttoning his shirt*
Selina: Woah there, big boy! I mean strip the sheets off the bed and put on new ones.
The true knight is a concept that embodies all that a knight should aspire to be - exemplifying all the qualities of what knighthood stands for. He is a shining example to all and held in the very highest esteem. Very few knights are considered true knights, as achieving and maintaining such high and noble ideals is a hard duty. — A WIKI OF ICE AND FIRE.
I hate them too, Sansa thought. They are no true knights, not one of them. — A CLASH OF KINGS, SANSA III
Heartsick, Dunk wheeled Thunder and raced back and forth before the tiers of pale cold men. Despair made him shout. "ARE THERE NO TRUE KNIGHTS AMONG YOU?" — THE HEDGE KNIGHT.

okay, so:
Rachel is literally one of the richest people in the country…all she had to do was say her full name and that chauffeur in botl immediately cancelled on his client to drive her and her friends around. When you add her wealth and status to the fact that she’s very outspoken about her family’s entire business and organizes and promotes multiple protests and does performance art…like. she’s popular online. no doubt.
Piper’s dad is supposed to be like, the hottest guy in Hollywood, and even though those girls from the wilderness school didn’t recognize her, he doesn’t really strike me as the type of celebrity parent to shield her from the media or events- he wants her to enjoy and take advantage of the privilege she has. I’m sure he’s got her plastered all over his social media and takes her as his date to every red carpet premiere. When you take into account she’s a Troubled Youth™, I’m sure gossip mags and anyone who likes celebrity kids is obsessed with her.
Annabeth, since Magnus is ‘’’’dead’’’’, is legally the sole heir to her family’s entire fortune, and technically owns the building that Blitz and Hearth are running that wonderful homeless youth shelter out of. I’m sure that will get her some media coverage.
And then we’ve got…Percy, the kid everyone remembers blew up the St. Louis Arch and I’m SURE there are still debates about whether he was really a hostage or not years later. Frank, who’s grandmother was a wealthy business woman, who hasn’t been seen since his family’s estate mysteriously exploded. Thalia and Jason, who are literally the missing children of a disgraced Hollywood starlet. Don’t you think this could…get messy?
Like…Percy popping up on Rachel and Annabeth’s instagrams, and people who recognize him are just like ‘hey what the fuck’, and internet sleuths who have been obsessed with that case look further into it, and realize Annabeth was also involved in the mysterious kidnapping/terrorist streak, then looking further into her and realizing…apart from her and her nuclear family, everyone she’s related to has died under very mysterious circumstances? Magnus was pulled out of a river with a hole burned into his abdomen. Randolph’s wife and children drowned at sea, Randolph was thrown down a cavern or something, Magnus’ mother was mauled by wolves in her apartment in the middle of Boston…like hello? Then they realize there’s no record of Annabeth like, existing, between the ages of 7 and 12, and…does this bitch even have a birth certificate? Her father’s a notable professor and author, but there’s no mention of her mother anywhere, not even a single picture, and when pressed his life long friends said he just showed up with a baby one day, without even having ever mentioned he was seeing a woman…so this baby just? appeared? one day, with no warning, and now she’s an heiress who owns a homeless shelter in a city she doesn’t live in? what the fuck? The internet sleuths started out trying to crack the mystery of the Arch Bombing and somehow opened up a whole other can of worms.
Oh, right- the bomber! How does Percy Jackson know Rachel Elizabeth Dare?! The conspiracy theorists are worried about that- maybe it wasn’t a kidnapping, maybe the kid really was on a crime spree, and now maybe Rachel is looking to take her protests up to a new level and is looking at this criminal mastermind for help. Some weirdo who knows how to use a facial recognition program and has too much time on his hands identifies them both as being present at the Hoover Dam Riots from a few years ago- the riot that lead to the destruction of those angel statues! The sleuths are then able to pull up an article tying both of them to an explosion at their high school- but with Rachel’s father’s wealth and Percy’s stepfather being a respected teacher there, it’s no wonder charges were dropped! They then find some other weird, buried reports- Rachel stealing a helicopter and flying it into Manhattan? Rachel appearing to have deranged, mysterious ‘episodes’ in the middle of class? Wait, what the fuck- Percy’s school principal reported him as a missing person, and his mother and stepfather were uncooperative with the police investigation? Then Percy showed up 8 months later and claimed his aunt kidnapped him, but wouldn’t give the police any information past that?
So the sleuths start digging into those 8 months- there’s security camera footage showing Percy, looking haggard and homeless, stealing a cop car? around the area of that huge explosion in Rome? spotted all around Greece in the days before the bombing at the Parthenon? What the fuck?
Then, holy shit- they find footage of him and missing teen Frank Zhang getting onto a private plane less than 20 minutes after the Zhang estate was blown up?? These conspiracy theorists aren’t even barely ready for this rabbit hole. The Zhang kid isn’t very active on social media, but combing through Percy Jackson’s pages they’re able to find a few images of him. Recent, post-estate bombing ones. Most of them appear to be goofy selfies with Percy and an unidentified girl that was also spotted on the security footage with them, but there’s one group shot that catches everyone’s eyes- because apart from featuring the weird Chase girl, what the fuck is that Tristan McLean’s daughter????
So they start combing through Piper’s pages- she’s more active than the Zhang kid, but apart from posting her mugshots with goofy captions, going on rants about meat-eaters, and posting videos of her dad being weird, she doesn’t have a lot of information. Except…one internet sleuth that joined this internet search party swears she recognizes a boy that pops up in a lot of pics on her instagram. Some more digging and they got it- it’s Leo Valdez, the kid who was accused of killing his mother! He’s got some cousins that have been trying to clear his name for years now, but they haven’t been able to find him because he keeps running from foster homes, they have a whole page dedicated to people trying to track him down! They contact the Valdez family members, and they’re elated to find out he’s alive and safe- but then it becomes a question of how does he know Piper McLean and what was he doing with her, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Frank Zhang in Greece around the time of the Parthenon bombing???
They start looking into the other two teenagers pictured with the group in Greece- they can’t find anything on the young girl, other than the Jackson kid referring to her as ‘Hazel’ in some of his posts, but the other boy…
He’s not very active online- just some aesthetic coffee shop pics, a few blurry selfies, and designs for what appears to be an architecture project at his school. But his username is ‘*disgraced*’, he’s called ‘Jay’ and ‘Jason’ in posts by his friends, he’s got blond hair, striking blue eyes, and a very specific scar on his lip…
THE TRUE CRIME COMMUNITY IS FLIPPING THEIR FUCKING SHIT. DID THEY JUST FIND BERYL GRACE’S MISSING SON AFTER 15 FUCKING YEARS?!?!?!
Sleuths completely drop the bomb plot at this fucking point, and put all their energy in finding out if this is The Jason Grace, and- they literally can’t find a record of this person before he suddenly started appearing on Piper McLean’s and Leo Valdez’ media profiles. It looks like all his social accounts were started in August of the year he would’ve turned sixteen. But he’s the right age, he looks close to the computer generated age-up pictures made for the case, and- holy shit someone found a picture on Percy Jackson’s instagram of Jason and a girl called Thalia!
People are losing their minds- this girl looks a lot younger than the 20-something Thalia should be, but Beryl Grace was known for her innocent baby-faced look, so that can explain the difference between her and the aged-up picture. Same striking blue eyes as the boy next to her, same freckle pattern splashed across her nose, same raven hair and sharp smile that made her one of Hollywood’s biggest beauties before she could even talk properly.
She doesn’t seem to have any social media herself, but pops up in quite a few of Jackson’s and the Chase girl’s pictures. Once Beryl Grace’s old friends, who have been searching for her children for years, see the picture of the smiling siblings together, it’s nothing but tears. They’re insistent that these are absolutely the Grace siblings, and are begging the police in charge of their case to track them down. They want to know they’re safe! And the rest of the world wants answers! Where have they been for all these years!
And how are they connected to what appears to be an ongoing bombing/murder/money grabbing plot????
what is going on here?!?!?!
All this information gets dragged up in less than a month. People are going full Pepe Silvia level crazy trying to piece everything together. Netflix has already announced a conspiracy documentary about the hunt for the truth about this band of kids and what their end goal is.
Chiron’s just sitting at Camp Halfblood watching all this shit go down like:
Annabeth’s little brothers Bobby and Matthew are going Full Feral Gen Z online to fan the flames of conspiracy, “oh yeah the first time we met Percy Jackson and Thalia Grace they stole our dad’s car and drove it off a mountain”, “one time Annie stabbed a man in front of us”, they post a tik tok of what appears to be Annabeth and Percy drenched in blood and dust cleaning off weapons??? They set an ABBA song over it??? Everyone’s losing their minds but then one day on a live stream people start asking if they know Why their sister and her friends are like this and they just dead pan, ‘oh, they’re all demigods. the ancient gods are all real and it just gets messy for their kids sometimes, Annie’s mom is Athena-” and everyone is like ah. they’re just assholes feeding us false information. (they still post tik toks like ‘put a finger down if one time your sister took you out for ice cream but then this weird man who would later hold the titan kronos in his body showed up and begged her to run away with him so he could avoid the kronos thing even though she was like 15 and he was an adult and then she pulled out a knife and told him she should slit his throat after all he’s put her through but then he called her out on her bluff but still accepted the rejection and left and then she offered to get you a second helping of ice cream if you didn’t tell your parents about that whole thing and then later the ice cream parlor was attacked by a snake woman’ lmao)
Anyway, desktop detectives keep pressuring the police and the fbi and whoever the fuck to look into this whole thing deeper and make some arrests, but they can’t, because while everything that’s been surfaced is suspicious, it’s all circumstantial. The only ones that actually have arrest records are Piper and Leo( and Leo’s was without evidence, as his cousins are still fighting to get the case reopened!), all charges on Percy and Rachel have already been dropped or overturned, there’s absolutely nothing physically connecting Annabeth and her father to their family’s deaths, Frank was never actually a suspect in his family’s fire and while the footage with Percy was suspicious it wasn’t illegal, and they still haven’t been able to physically produce the Grace Siblings or even get a phone number for either of them, so like….all that plus the occasional intervention of the Mist, even though it absolutely looks like this is a whole criminal master plot…they can’t prove it! Just taking a group picture on a boat in Greece isn’t enough to legally claim they bombed the Parthenon!
This all comes to a head when the Netflix docuseries premieres, full of the online theorists who pieced this whole puzzle together but where unable to find the last piece that would connect the whole plot and make it make sense….
Percy Jackson films a video of him and all his friends who are fingered in the docuseries watching and reacting to it. They think it’s completely hilarious. He posts the video to his youtube channel (which Sally later Murders him for) and it’s the top trending video for like…half a fucking year.
like…the drama. the mess. the conspiracy. I want it.

HEAR ME OUT-
Cobra Kai vs Forgiveness
Forgiving an abuser isn’t necessary for healing, but society pressures victims to forgive their abusers, sometimes even treating it like a moral obligation.
Movies and shows like Cobra Kai reinforce this harmful expectation. Such stories normalize and add to the difficulties that real-life victims face in society when it comes to being validated and having their sides of the story matter over their abusers’.
Check out our new Medium article on this topic!
Society pressures victims to forgive their abusers. Movies and shows like ‘Cobra Kai’ reinforce this harmful expectation.
when grrm wrote arya naming herself "cat" and Sansa going under the name of "alayne" forming cat-alayne (catelyn)
Assuming that:
Luke was Camp Half-Blood's sword instructor for quite some time (let's say 2-4 years) before he went rogue, and
Most of the demigods at Camp were at least a few years younger than him (considering that iirc at the start of TLT it's implied he's one of the oldest demigods at Camp),
It seems likely that he was teaching swordfighting when a lot of the demigod kids were amateurs or complete beginners. He basically singlehandedly taught the new generation of demigods at Camp how to fight, and by doing so probably helped shape their swordfighting styles.
So now there's this new generation of kids who learnt how to wield a sword from Luke, who learnt how to roll and slash and stab and parry the same way he does, with the same habits he has.
Travis always subtly favours his left side when fighting, even though both of his eyes are perfectly fine — he learnt the habit from Luke, whose vision in his right eye was never the same after his quest, and so naturally relied more on his left eye in a fight.
After delivering a strong blow, Clarisse often unconsciously wrings her right hand — because Luke's right hand was weaker than his left, and so every time he used it in a sword fight he'd wring his hand absentmindedly to alleviate the tiredness in that limb.
Percy has come a long way from that 12 year-old kid who didn't even know how to hold a sword properly, but whenever he's got his back to the wall, he always finds himself falling back on Luke's lessons during those first few weeks at Camp — and the method of disarming he finds himself using the most is Luke's signature move, the backhanded motion he used on Percy during their first sparring lesson.
As they grew older, the kids of Camp Half-Blood undoubtedly developed their own fighting styles outside of Luke's own. But the little habits they learnt from him when they were children never really went away. Do they remind each other of Luke sometimes, when they see each other fight? Do they see him in the absentedminded motions they do, the moves they choose to employ? Do they recognise those hints of Luke in their own fighting styles, and do they loathe seeing traces of Olympus' traitor in themselves, or do they hold onto those pieces of the man who used to be the older brother they adored?
You are a mosaic of everyone that has ever been in your life. And in this aspect of their lives, none of them can really escape Luke, even after he's already gone.

no no sansa would not be a cliché popular girl in school. she wouldn’t be like. the bottom of the social hierarchy i think she’d be loved by a lot of people. however. she has one best friend (jeyne) and they are nerding out over their white boy of the month and she is her english teacher’s special little princess the one who annoys everyone else by always raising her hand and she is a choir kid she is section lead of the soprano 1s always scheduling practices on weeknights that interfere with everyone’s free time but she does not care this is important. and she plays the tragic maiden in her school’s shakespeare plays and finds it so utterly romantic and she is a bookworm she starts with trashy middle-grade romance novels and then she discovers jane austen and the chronicles of narnia. she goes through a major horse girl phase at the same time as arya is going through a warrior cats phase and they both have insanely fleshed-out my little pony + warrior cats ocs. she isn’t going to games and admiring the jocks she is on tumblr getting sold to one direction and daydreaming about boys (and girls) who open doors for her and braid her hair and will get rid of the spiders in her house she is on ao3 reading and writing like alexander hamilton she is bothering ned for the newest merch for her favorite boy band and then going to get a strawberry açaí refresher with jeyne
Emotional maturity is understanding that this troubled teen was troubled because all of the adults in his life—starting with Johnny—kept failing him and never changed.
Accountability, making amends, and narrative losses belonged to Johnny’s character, but those were cruelly passed to Robby’s character. Sins of the father… are sins of the father, never the son’s.
Many teens who have parents like Johnny watched this show. Society needs more compassion and empathy for teens who experience childhood trauma. They shouldn’t be held to the same or greater standards as adults who give them that trauma.
