like klaus mentions the percy jackson series and five only catches as snippet of the conversation like:

klaus: percy jackson is the reason i am gay, vanya. anyone who’s seen-

five: wait, like percy jackson? controls water, son of poseidon percy jackson?

klaus: yes! you read the series?

five: what do you mean, ‘read the series,’ he lives in new york? i messed up a jump as a kid and landed in their camp?

klaus: ...

klaus: just for clarification, you met percy jackson from camp halfblood?

five: yes? when i told him I also have powers he tried to stab me. called me a son of kronos. he had a friend like you though named nico.

klaus: i don’t think we’re on the same page here, brother mine.

five wouldn’t even bat an eye at the memory either. he wasn’t ever told how many kids have superpowers, he could’ve thought it was a normal thing. like he could’ve thought that they were the first to fight crime with public aliases. other superheroes were just dumb. that spider fellow has nothing on him.

like one day klaus manifested ben so that he can roam and five jumped into the kitchen and overhears allison say something to ben about harry potter being safe for kids and five cuts in like:

five: what do you mean, of course he’s safe for kids

ben: wait, you finally got to them? how’d you like them?

allison: it’s always nice to have a second set of ears, how’d you like em?

five: well I met potter on the one mission we had near london. I jumped into the tunnels and ended up in some ministry, where there was a big fight going down. you guys didn’t appear for the mission, so I had to step in. it was obvious who were the bad guys, so i jumped and grabbed a man from falling through a stone arch and gradually picked my way through. everyone got out safe.

allison: um five? I don’t-

five: don’t worry, i left soon after that. there was this old man with a long beard that reminded me too much of dad. forgot him name though.

ben: dumbledore?

five: that’s the fucker. wonder what he’s doing now. anyways, potter is completely safe, he’s trying to protect his school or something from some serial killer. he’s really good with kids, last I checked he’s a teacher. claire would love him.

allison: five, harry potter is a fict-

five: like I said, don’t worry. now that my coffee is done, I’ll be on my way. goodbye allison, ben.

allison: wait, five-!

ben: don’t tell him, it’s hilarious.

allison: how is this hilarious, ben he needs-

ben: nothing. he needs nothing. I want to see him crumble once he realizes.

and it goes on for years. no one tells him that he apparently has the ability to not only time travel and rip the fabric of time and space, but also has the ability to hop to different planes of reality.

Despite the content I post, I do not condone adults sexualizing, becoming infatuated, falling in love with, or anything romantic or sexual surrounding Aidan or his character, Five. There is a huge debate of fiction versus reality, and what is seen as morally wrong or not. Here is my two cents:

Reader inserts are, honestly, not my cup of tea. I don't like reading about myself, for one, but also because I think they blur the line between "this is pure fiction" and "this is reality". You're reading about yourself, a real person, interacting with a fictional character portrayed by a very real actor.

That makes me uncomfortable. But that's just my opinion. Whatever, you do you.

Where I get scared, and upset, is when I find out that these reader inserts are surrounding a minor. Sure, some make the argument that the character is "aged up", but the inspiration comes from a minor. A minor's acting, a minor's face, a minor's job.

That, on top of what this person, or these people, have confessed to, where they are in love with the character... that is what made me put my foot down. Because that character is portrayed by a minor. There are no excuses of "aged up" because they are talking about the face of a minor. One can say that the character is fifty-eight, and sure, one can love the personality of the character, but the matter of the fact is that the actor is still a minor.

I cannot ignore this. I can't. And if I get heat for it, then that's what will happen. I can't stop that. All I can do is express my own beliefs.

I do not condone what has happened. The jokes about the character scare me, the unhealthy love for the character makes me anxious. I do not condone what has occurred by any of the individuals involved.

If an adult said they were in love with Eleven from Stranger Things, all heads would turn. Rightfully so. Because that is a minor portrayed by a minor. The character Five may be of age mentally, but the body of the character is that of a minor, and the actor is a minor. This is reality, here. It's a TV show.

I think the people involved in this need to seek out a therapist, or professional help if they are in love with a character portrayed by a minor.

Please unfollow me if you disagree with anything I have said, because I truly do not want to be involved with those that are in love with a character portrayed by a minor. I'm sorry for the upsetting details, and I hope everyone stays safe, those included in this. I don't think you are bad people, but I do think you need to talk to someone professionally about this kind of mentality...

Also, please do not attack the people involved in this. I don't think that will help. It will only fuel the fire.

I'm so tired of every single act of love and affection and care between two characters being taken as romantic like please I am Begging you let friends exist. this mindset seeps into the real actual world n has a negative affect in the real actual world n has yall shipping real life people because you don't understand how friends work and think that two people liking each other and having fun together must mean they're In Love

n I've talked about this before but romanticizing and sexualizing all expressions of love and affection also results in fictional sibling relationships being stripped of their intimacy. no one can portray siblings cuddling or kissing each other on the cheek or sleeping in the same bed because it will Automatically be perceived as romantic or sexual. this also has a negative affect on the real actual world, as proven by the dozens and dozens of people on my last post about this saying that seeing this being done to fictional siblings made them uncomfortable expressing affection and sharing intamacy w their siblings in Real Life which is honestly one of the most heart breaking things I've ever heard
