back with my tkc rotations. thoughts on tanakane? (if i already asked you this and just don't remember, ignore me lol) (also ps i made a post on transmasc!zia and it's full of my transmasc experiences, if u wanna check that out)
I think we've definitely talked about it on Discord before but that's okay because every hours is Tanakane Hours!!
For those of you who haven't read The Kane Chronicles, Sadie Kane and Drew Tanaka (from Heroes of Olympus) go to the same school and there is that mean-girl dynamic between them. I see Sadie as being very "ugh i hate her she thinks shes so cool with her lustrous hair and milky skin and beautiful eyes and flawless appearance!!! this emotion is definitely hatred!!" Bi in Denial.
I like to imagine that something attacks the school one day and both Sadie and Drew are trapped together and mutually like "ugh now i have to protect this bitch."
Anyway, I'd have to go back and re-read, but iirc Drew's charmspeak didn't come up much in her brief appearances and I found that pretty surprising. Surely Sadie must have noticed how persuasive Drew can be. A lot of Sadie's frustration with her could easily come from how often authority figures seem to capitulate to Drew's demands, no matter how absurd.
Anyway I imagine Aphrodite looking down on the sexual tension between her daughter and this Egyptian, eagerly munching popcorn.
