i know we'll reunite up there in the clouds

a small thing i learned from my sister dying is that i really would rather the people i love be a burden than be whatever the hell else they'd be if they weren't. yes even if it's messy and not always fair and hard completely inconvenient for everyone involved. even if it's weird. even if i'm rolling my eyes a bit inside sometimes. i just want you to bother me. please always bother me

like "it's rotten work" "not to me not if it's you" actually sometimes it's still rotten work. even if it's you. and i'd still do it a million times over

sometimes my Beloved Mutuals will rb a post about a certain character archetype and i will have to physically restrain myself from saying “yeah you would say that wouldn’t you”

tbh potato is easily in the top 10 reasons to live

Character duo where one *remembers I don’t like fitting characters into trope boxes* is a completely fleshed out and realised person *remembers treating characters as real people and not story devices written with intent is bad* who is written by the author and *remembers death of the author* uh. And *fumbles and drops my pile of queue cards* ah fuck wait no *the menacing horse* what was that.

not now kitten. daddy's realizing that the scene he invested 1000 words into could be significantly improved but only if he started over from scratch

if we ever actually get an HOO show I need Luke to be haunting the narrative so bad. I need the Luke-Octavian parallels to be way more explicit than "you remind me of someone I hate." I need Annabeth teaching Piper how to fight with Katoptris and making an offhand comment about who gave her her knife. I need Percy half-remembering who taught him how to fight. I need Annabeth and Percy to have an actual conversation about Annabeth losing her knife. I need Luke's curses haunting Percy in Tartarus. You feel me?

Well, are you?. We’re waiting.

There’s a lot to be umami about these days.
