the contrast yet congruity between these two scenes !! the way percy isn’t able to focus in the first but then is hyper focused on every little detail in the second and both of these moments play out the way they do because of his proximity to annabeth and him being flustered because of it !!
hi. if you're a young person or teenager who happens to be following me: write it down! keep a secret diary, a notepad, a blog your parents don't have access to. write it down. keep a record somehow.
when i was a little kid and both my dad & i were being actively abused by my mom, he was familiar enough w her gaslighting that he instructed me at elementary school age to write down all the horrible things she did/said to me. it would be useful in court when custody was being argued and it would be useful to ME, years later, when my mom would try and convince me none of it happened. i had the proof, often word for word, that it did--and there was no hope in convincing my mom but a lot of hope in convincing myself and holding my stance against her. it was pivotal to advocating for myself and my feelings and eventually leaving her in my dust!
write it down!!! it’s so frustrating to have to deal with this bullshit, whether your parents are outright abusive or just fucking toxic/dysfunctional assholes. but you can do something for yourself and your mental health and that something is writing it down.
me irl
if i can just add–
someone tell 6th grade me the PJO show is about to be filmed and then catch her when she faints
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT WASN’T JUST ME WHO WAS THINKING THIS
thinkin bout how percy introduces himself as a troubled kid even tho he’s just a kid with rotten luck and like ok, he does weird shit but like,,, he’s not a bully, he’s actually pretty quiet, we see him befriend the outcasts, he endures other kids’ teasing because he doesn’t wanna fight. he’s his happiest when his mom gets home and brings him blue candy. like? he’s a nice kid. weird, yes, but good, as well. but im thinkin bout he was probably never told that by anyone (but sally, obv). like if you grow up being told you’re a troubled kid, being perceived as one and being treated unfairly because of it, obviously you grow up not only to believe you really are troubled but to actually cause it, cause you get punished anyway, so why not rebel. idk what im on about but i have many feelings about percy jackson in this chilli’s tonight
we drinkin tonite and in the menu is TEA, ladies and gentleladies, dudes and dudettes @sawasawako
how you know a romance novel was not written by someone from the Midwest
A continuation of the Studio Ghibli inspired art. I felt like this scene fit Percabeth very well and would probably happen in a capture the flag match.
Intimidating Annabeth for a warm up
hello! if it's not a bother to you, could you draw Annabeth Chase? ( i'm sorry,,, I just love your design of her-)
here have a redraw of this old piece of her
Could you imagine if edward had just been some regular dude like fucking around with bella and she said with the utmost confidence “i know what you are…..you’re a vampire” and he’s just out there alone with her in the middle of the forest like
twilight au where Edward and his family just go along with it for kicks:
Rosalie hates it, Jasper sucks (or can’t keep a straight face) so he takes any excuse to avoid Bella, Carlisle doesn’t like pretending to hurt people so he decides his new persona has miraculous control, Alice and Emmett are LIVING this lie
they have an emergency family meeting to come up with basic ground rules and cover story but then just wing everything else
Edward had to tell Bella that they sparkle in the sun because Alice had dumped an entire bucket of glitter on him that morning when he got out of the shower
The Cullens now own stock in the glitter body wash they use daily.
