“a boy made of flesh and bone could not be so painfully lovely, so free of any blemish or flaw.” 

A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang—a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love… and first betrayal.

Now? Now we get to do what’s next. Believing in even the possibility of a happy ending is a powerful thing, but living with that kind of belief? That’s the most powerful thing of all.

Chihiro. That’s a nice name. Take care of it.

• annabeth brings a ton of olives to go on quests for snacks (they exist! they’re in little applesauce containers)
• she shares them with percy, but begrudgingly 
• percy, eating her olives: i dont even really like olives 12 yr old annabeth, reactive and down a cup of olives: how fucking dare you
• when someone asks why she eats so many olives she has a whole spiel about how olives are healthier than chips and it leaves so many more questions than answers
• she has and will fight people on if olives are good or not — they’re GREEK demigods, they should all be of the same opinion here
• the athena cabin is just PACKED with olives they have a whole set of shelves devoted to olives they have an olive supplier 
• like half the cabin has olives as a stress food 
• stressed? olive time. 
• percy sees like three empty cans of olives on annabeth’s desk during finals week once and is like “should i be worried?” and she starts to go into her “healthier than chips” rant but he interrupts her and is like “oh no, not about your physical health” 
• athena cabin initiation ritual where newly claimed campers have to try one of each olive type to see which is their favorite so they know what to stock 
• even if you think you already have a favorite you have to do it
• malcolm is always trying to get people to try the more unique ones (”would you like to try taco? what about sriracha” and annabeth kicks him) 
• meetings in the athena cabin take place over a bowl of olives
• (percy witnesses this once and is like  ‘this is wack’
• annabeth: olives are a symbol of peace percy: you mean an olive branch annabeth: which olives are part of)
• percy watches that meeting and is like these vibes…off… as annabeth insists that olives are perfectly normal and he’s like yeah but.. 
• annabeth’s bagel order is a black olive bagel toasted with cream cheese at this tiny little bagel place her and percy frequent
• (off topic, but percy and annabeth argue over if long island or nyc bagels are better whenever they get bagels. this is a real argument. i witnessed this argument when i lived in long island)
• annabeth: stop making it weird! i like olives a normal amount, mr blue food percy: [gasps]
• annabeth: downs a cup of olives while staring percy dead in the eyes percy: slowly sips a blue coke grover: i thought we were getting coffee
• percy once tries to talk to grover about this and if it’s weird and is like “should i be concerned?” and grover is actively chewing on an olive can 
• percy bribes grover with coke cans, annabeth bribes him with aluminum olive cans
• percy tries to come up with an anniversary gift for annabeth once and is blanking and is like “what if i just give her more olives” and grover’s like “you cant JUST give her olives. but that could definitely be part of it” 
• when they’re older, at bars percy will only order annabeth drinks with olives in them, even though they (usually martinis) aren’t necessarily her favorite, but she thinks its funny and sweet
• percy when he and annabeth get a pizza (half hawaiian for him because i think that’s funny, and olives (and sometimes other toppings) for annabeth) and there’s an olive or two on his side: by eating this olive i am showing peace remains between poseidon and athena, symbolically adding another shovel of dirt to cover the grave where their rivalry lies and my sacrifice—

‘I’m going to run for student council president,’ she informs him, expression so serious he’d think she’s talking about running away from her foster family.

‘Why?’ he asks even though he already knows.

Yin Nezha is running too.
