“For us, everything was a performance.” A small, private smile catches me off guard and I glance down, hoping he won’t see it. “Everything poetic.”

If sins were about to be tallied, Casiopea realized she might be in trouble. At this point she’d probably have to pray about five hundred rosaries.

when the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.

And the nights, bigger than imagining: black and gusty and enormous, disordered and wild with stars.

@grishaverseonline secret santa | for @thegreywaren; happy holidays!

some people see a magic trick and say, ‘impossible!’ they clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. other people ask how it worked. they go home, get into bed, toss and turn, wondering how it was done. It takes them a good night’s sleep to forget all about it. and then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind.

“As for my brothers,“ Zeus said, "we are thankful” - he cleared his throat like the words were hard to get out- “erm, thankful for the aid of Hades.” The lord of the dead nodded. He had a smug look on his face, but I figure he’d earned the right. He patted his son Nico on the shoulders, and Nico looked happier than I’d ever seen him. “And, of course,” Zeus continued, though he looked like his pants were smoldering, “we must…um…thank Poseidon.” “I’m sorry, brother,” Poseidon said. “What was that?” “We must thank Poseidon,” Zeus growled. “Without whom … it would’ve been difficult-” “Difficult?” Poseidon asked innocently. “Impossible,” Zeus said. “Impossible to defeat Typhon.”   ― Percy Jackson The last Olympian

trc character study [4/6]: richard gansey

“He couldn’t stand it, all of this inside him. In the end, he was nobody to Adam, he was nobody to Ronan. Adam spit his words back at him and Ronan squandered however many second chances he gave him. Gansey was just a guy with a lot of stuff and a hole inside him that chewed away more of his heart every year. They were always walking away from him. But he never seemed able to walk away from them.”

trc character study [1/6]: adam parrish

“Being Adam Parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. He was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival.”
