idk if anyone watched fear street but everytime i’m writing the mayfield!sister fics i keep going back to the dynamic that ziggy and cindy berman have. maybe it’s just because sadie sink is the younger sister in that one too, but fear street 1978 is peak.

Hello, would it be alright if I make fanart based on your Volpina with the butterfly Miraculous fanart for this fanfic "One Does Not Love Breathing"...? I liked the design a lot and I did end up sketching... I'm not sure if I should post it or not or if I should submit it to you first since I based it on your art or just dropping a link to your og post and an @ for you when I post would be okay...

OMG YES!!! Go ahead, i was mostly following @wackus-bonkus-maximus description + some more that she described over discord!!!

And yes go ahead on posting and tagging us!!

tuafw you go to a restaurant and always have the same order: what you drink, the food and dessert. and if it changes it takes actual years and you only change one item at the time -mila

hellooo

(to be clear im the one commenter talking about ares and ody pranking poseidon in ur au)

wanted to re-emphasize how good ur fic is, also wanted to interact w more people obsessed with epic bc epic is like half my life atm (the hyperfixation is real...)

anyways re ur post about english, that's honestly so valid, and im a native english speaker

in 9th grade we had to do an entire unit on how to use an apostrophe. in an english-speaking school in an english-speaking country. in a class of native english speakers.

english is such a silly (/neg) language tbh i've seen native speakers with absolutely atrocious grammar and spelling

anyways enjoy these two of my favorite images demonstrating why english is so absurd...

and there was going to be this other image but i was rereading it and noticed that there was this one sentence that was actually really offensive so im going to type out the ones that arent lol

The bandage was wound around the wound.

The farm was used to produce produce.

The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse.

We must polish the Polish furniture.

He could lead if he would get the lead out.

The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.

When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

I did not object to the object.

There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.

They were too close to the door to close it.

And finally, read and lead rhyme, and so do read and led. But read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and read.

hi!!! (big fan of the pranking idea)

thank you, you're so sweet! and I GET IT. epic has consumed all of my thoughts, it's in everything I see now. I CANT WAIT for the Ithaca saga but also am I ready? I don't know. I'm ready. but ready for it to be over? 😭😭 very exciting though

BOO ENGLISH. INTERNET SLANGS ARE COOLER. so many little things trip me over. I never know when to use "in" or "on". the other day I was wondering why you say "laun dree" instead of "laun dry". it's always the most random stuff lmao, that image is so true all the struggles are real

mila.exehasstoppedworking you kind of broke my brain in the last ones. I only had a singular braincell left 😭😭😭

I posted this comment on "you'll be here in my heart" (is that an anticlea reference I see ?) and I thought i would expand on it cus my brain actually produced some ideas for such an interaction . (Also I generally think of epic!laertes and odyssey!laertes being the same for reasons I explained here )( I also imagine odysseus being in his late 40's by the end of epic for timeline reasons)

So my brain immediately turned it into a reaction fic like it does for any AU . Here are some moments i cooked up for such a potential fic

You'll be here in my heart!laertes: your son is 47, how on earth does he still need coddling?

Epic!laertes who was helping odysseus through a PTSD induced anxiety attack cus they just finished watching survive: have you been in a 10 year long war followed by 10 years of suffering? No? Then shut up and pay attention to the screen like you didn't in school.

Odysseus from where his head is buried in Laertes' shoulder:🤭

You'll be here in my heart!odysseus: your hair used to be black?

Epic!laertes,who has gone white :nah,i just used to dye it on the argo

Epic!odysseus: we should get you more of that stuff, papa

Epic!laertes: oh for you too cus, my boy, what is this? grabs one of odysseus's gray streaks and tugs it down makind ody whine and laugh.

You'll be here in my heart!laertes: struggling to comprehend healthy father-son relationship. His eyes are very much tweaking

I can also imagine epic!laertes telling embarrassing stories about his kids like how odysseus would get into trouble cus he would go places he wasn't allowed to and accidentally lose his jewellery that had his name on it and you'll be here in my heart!zeus and laertes realising they have no such stories or if they do, they certainly aren't happy ones and they start to realise what shitty parents they are. Also you'll be here in my heart!athena and odysseus cannot compute epic!laertes and odysseus's healthy relationships and it makes them very sad

AAHHH HELLO!! (ohhh it's actually a tarzan reference, but anticlea fits too, I'd never noticed that until now JXHSJHSKSKSK AND I LOVE THE UNDERWORLD)

ah I'm a SUCKER for a good reaction fic tbh HXHSJDHEJDJSK so this is perfect

TAG YOURSELF IM ODYSSEUS GOING 🤭 LMAO. YES EPIC!LAERTES, YOU TELL HIM!! SPEAK YOUR TRUTH KING

ybhimh laertes just being confused at a healthy father-son relationship is so real 💀💀 he's just like "tf is that"

OOF ZEUS AND LAERTES REALIZING THEYRE SHITTY PARENTS LOL yeah that sure would be something 💀💀 laertes is about to get worse and zeus is... zeus. he's already THE worse. awww ybhimh athena and odysseus looking at epic!laertes and odysseus and just being shocked. I think ody would be extra upset because if that laertes could be a good dad then why couldn't his version be like this as well? why couldn't laertes love him enough in this world to just be a good father? 😭😭😭

athena just wants to jump at ybhimh!laertes' throat even more

[missdarhk]

what if we had a cat au...

oh?? a cat au you say? 👀👀👀👀👀 tell me more?
