y r we just friends?

i got too many thoughts about fictional characters

[chimaine]

Apollo already being one of the most powerful Greek gods, one of the most worshipped Greek gods, and the most handsome Greek god, and then he goes and bags PERCY JACKSON. I know his haters are SICK of him.

I think it would be very easy for a Post Perse fading! Apollo to justify working for Kronos.

An Apollo who has seen the love of his life, his wife basically, die and the gods move on. Slowly, agonizingly slowly, but there's over a thousand years between Perse fading and the Great Prophecy, so they change nevertheless. They forget their children, used to someone else taking care of them, and when they remember its to send them out on a quest. Children leave camp younger and younger, and don't come back. Even Chiron, his old foster son, grows complacent, too comfortable sending babes to their deaths.

Apollo tries to keep his head down and be the best father to his children as he can. To some, he was their only parent; his children tended to pop up when a mortal reminded him of Perse in a particular way, often without sex (he was a widow, not chaste), and sometimes that resulted in them abandoning his child. Perse never would have abandoned a child though. She would have loved them. Michael. Kayla. Austin. Lee. Will. So many before. So many after.

But his children keep dying. Everyone's children keep dying, and no one cares, like Perse meant nothing to them and Apollo.

I never really understood how Ares was the one to catch Luke with the Master Bolt instead of, you know, the literal hunting gods.

And Apollo doesn't really want to help Kronos out, but like... he's going to need some sort of fire power and/or distraction so he can chop Zeus into little bits. Gramps can have the throne for all he cares, just leave Apollo alone with his kids and they'll be fine.

And Apollo would be such a good twist villain in one of these fics and you know what? Perse would think it was hot. He was doing evil to make a better life for his kids, that is DILF behavior and I won't stand for anything otherwise.

I NEED THIS I ABSOLUTELY NEED THIS, SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE THIS, ILL GIVE MY FIRST BORN TO U

[kittenscookie]

For the past two weeks I've been imagining an Ascended Percy but is Sally was born over three thousand years ago—so Percy ascended a little over three thousand years ago. He's an established god by the start of the series. Most don't like talking about him because he's considered volatile and dangerous *cough* won't/has the strength not to do a damn thing Zeus says *cough* *cough*, he helps run Camp Half Blood.

Zeus: Okay, we need someone to run Camp Half Blood with Chiron—

Percy: *Kicks Down The Doors* I VOLUNTEER!

Poseidon: ...Percy!? It's been centuries—!

Percy: And it will be at least another, I'm still not talking to you (–_–)

•••

Percy: *Polishing Riptide* I was flooding cities before your mother's bloodline was even a thing, don't you find that odd?

Luke: *Drunk off his ass* Can you sharpen that on me?

•••

Hermes: *Slams a bottle of rosé on Apollo's desk* ...

Apollo: ...What happened...?

Hermes: ...Three thousand, one hundred, and nineteen years of courting him—fighting with you over him...And he picked my. fucking. son...

Apollo: You're shitting me right...?

Hermes: ...*Cracks open the bottle and starts pouring them both a glass*

Apollo: TELL ME YOU'RE SHITTING ME—

Recently I’ve been thinking about the different types of love languages in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, The S-Classes That I Raised, and Lout of the Count’s Family…

Not to say that each of the stories describes only one single kind of love language; they are, after all, all novels that focus on Found Family, with many different types of relationships between characters that express their love for each other in as many different ways.

Yet, I’ve noticed how at the core of each of these three stories there is one specific act of love that recurs more than others, and that becomes the true Theme each novel revolves around.

In Lout of the Count’s Family, the main love language is providing food and a home.

“Home” is such an important concept in LCF that Cale collects houses like they were pokemon cards. The source of his trauma when he was a child as Kim Roksu was that he was not given sufficient food, and that where he lived was not truly a shelter where he could feel safe, just a place he was trapped in.

And I don’t think there are ever more than 2 chapters in a row without a character offering food to others, or asking if they’re hungry, if they’ve eaten, why haven’t you eaten, here have some apple pie!!

Cale uses his newfound money and power to make sure his loved ones are provided for. That’s how he adopts bonds with most of his new family.

The first thing Raon does after he’s freed from the prison he’s been trapped in all his life, is to leave food for this hopelessly weak human.

Choi Han, who has lived alone in a dangerous forest for decades, would do anything to protect his home.

The Crown Prince, who has been isolated and untrusting of everyone ever since his mother died, makes sure to always have cookies in his bedroom in case guests “break in” for a visit at any time of the day or the night.

I love you, you’ll never be hungry again. I love you, my home is your home.

In The S-Classes That I Raised, the main love language is words.

Yoojin’s powers are literally activated by telling people “I love you”. Because all he ever wanted was to say “I love you” to his brother one last time.

Because the tragedy that starts the story happens because Yoohyun loved and protected his hyung in secret for years. Silence creates misunderstandings, it creates distance, it leads to loss.

Loving someone isn’t enough, tell them! Reassure them. Remember what they say, because their words are important!!

Ever since the regression, Yoojin always let people know when he loves them and appreciates them. “You’re perfect, you’re cute, you’re so talented, you’re so handsome, you are loved.”

And as the novel progresses, whenever Yoojin is in pain, or doesn’t know what to do, he turns to Sung Hyunje because he needs to be reassured, he needs to know he did well, he needs to hear he is still important to the people he loves.

I love you, please know that I love you! I love you, please tell me you love me back.

And finally, in Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, the main love language is time.

Time is one of the greatest sources of horrors in ORV. Eternities upon eternities of suffering, being trapped for ages in the same, hopeless loop, wishing for everything to just stop.

And yet, time is also the greatest gift characters give to each other.

Because the wounds Dokja suffered as a child, and then again and again through his whole life…. They need time to heal. They need so much time. They will probably take forever.

So let them take forever.

Despite how much pain and worry he causes his companions by giving up on himself over and over again, his companions never give up on him. And he doesn’t understand why!! He doesn’t think he’s worth it. But it’s not his choice, it’s theirs. And they will go through as many tries, as much pain, as much time as it takes, before they can finally save him.

I love you, so I will wait fifty years for you. I love you, so I will live through thousands of lifetimes to find you. I love you, so I will read and reread your story for the rest of time, just to keep you alive.

it's a crime that there isn't more fanart or fanfics of mafia nanny, i already read all the available eps and i need more, you all are missing out bcs the family feels and slow burn in mafia nanny is just exquisite. i just love the whole found family vibe that's happening, how mikey and davina bonded and how the three of them, gabe, mikey, and davina are very much family now. and don't forget davina's protectiveness when it comes to her angelinis! and the slowburn, gods the slowburn! 2 seasons in and they still haven't kissed!? (there was a vague kinda confession, but im pretty sure no kiss) im so glad i picked this comic up, u all should check mafia nanny in webtoon!!

as i just finished a binge reading, im on to my next story, guys what do u think of mafia nanny (⁠ー⁠_⁠ー⁠゛⁠), i really want to read some comic since ive been drowning in words these days, but i haven't decided on what i should read, and my sis was reading this last month so now im curious haha

i just finished reading a rewrite of winx club by dragonfly0808, and guys, you all need to read this! it's an absolute masterpiece, and its for the girlies whose childhood is winx, bcs it really gives it so much more depth and lore!! plus it explores the bond of the specialists with the girls and even actually includes them as part of the club!

i just randomly decided to look for fanfics bcs i was missing bloom and the girls, (and yes, despite some disagreeing, i very much love bloom and sky, u cant take that away from baby me), and i checked out ao3, and boom! i found this masterpiece that you all should read if your feeling nostalgic and want to go back to some of your childhood loves, it already has 4 of the seasons rewritten and s5 being updated as we speak, and i don't want to give spoilers but there's one particular pairing that isn't originally in the show, and i just absolutely love them and their story, u will cry by the way, and dont worry this suprise pairing isn't any of the actual winx, when it comes to them, they do retain the canon relationships but with more depth!

and what i love most of all is that there is platonic pairings too, you get to see friendships between the specialists and the winx, all different kinds of friendship and pairings and even with some ocs! if you ever get to read it, i just absolutely adore jamie and james!! plus there's a deep dive to each of the character's background and family especially, the sibling squad in this are top tier. and dont get me started on the trix bcs the exploration of their characters in this is so well done and how the author executed their characters here really is amazing! just like with winx, we also get backgrounds for them!!

and as for my non canon pairing i mentioned, they're not really the main focus of the story if what you want is for the focus to be the winx and the specialists, you will get it! but the non canon pairing do get their moments bcs its important to the plot of one of the series, and i promise you, u will not be disappointed, honestly, they're giving the song "would you fall in love with me again", and as u can probably tell i love them!! i could ramble all about it all day but all in all what im trying to say is for u guys to check it out, bcs u r missing out!!

i miss merthur, and now im just thinking of how arthur still isn't back and merlin is waiting by the lake, wasting away, holding on for someone that seems to be never coming back. i think sometimes on how desperate merlin would've become over the years of waiting. will he, like us, think that with so few left of albion, there's limited reasons/persons to be in greatest need. and there's lots of fics that make it that merlin is really the only thing left of albion, and its when his need is greatest that arthur comes back. but what if, in merlin's desperation, and consequent realization of this same scenario happening, he just starts killing of all the people and creatures and about just every remnants of albion over the years so it will only, truly be him that can be considered albion, and thus it will be up to him, it will be due to him, that arthur rises again. with all the years of waiting weighing down on him, and desperation and loneliness clouding his mind, and let's all be honest, his already dubious morality, its not out of question for him to just snap and go on a murder spree that eventually leads to a genocide. i dont think he will stop even if it's brought up that the albion he's destroying is the one arthur loved and died protecting the idea and the start of it. he won't care about that, bcs maybe for arthur it was his kingdom that he was fighting for, but for merlin, it was for arthur, not the once and future king, not this golden age of albion, but arthur.

you know what one of my favorite tropes is? forced identity reveal. and not just scenes where the villain will throw some poor civilian off a building if the Justice League doesn't stand up. I mean the kind where they're forced, through magic or powers or some sort of force, to reveal themselves.

Kryptonians are immediately identified in the crowd with kryptonite. Every Lantern hisses as their rings start to flare at the same time, glowing wildly on their hands. Glamours are forcibly dropped. Like that.
