THATS EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY GOT THE SOUL ANON. YOU ARE CORRECT!

Like imagine 14 year old Percy just chilling watching a movie and the main cast is good looking, so one of his friends are like "Do you like someone?" And he's just like "*flustered noises*"

And like, 15 year old Percy trying not to make eye contact with *certain* people because he just thinks they're all SO pretty and he's so confused.

Like imagine him having a conversation with Sally when he's 13 or something and Sally eventually realizes he's bi because of the way he talks about people and she's like "he's so stupid he has no idea"

Like maybe the reason he found aphrodite so confusing is because she kept switching from female features to male features and he's so confused.

And he's thinking about it sometime later and he realizes he's fucking bi

And he tells Paul and Sally and they're just like "no shit"

It's just so funny because before him and Annabeth started dating everyone would probably be like

"Percy Jackson is literally so scary, hes basically the strongest demigod ever, like hes prophesied to fight a titan omg"

Also Percy: *trips while talking to a stranger because they're beautiful and he doesn't know what to say."

Idk I just headcanon him as that one chaotic bisexual older brother who flips off homophobes for you I love him so much.

surprisingly enough, having an eldritch being for a boyfriend doesn't change things...much.

actually, Kokichi still isn't sure Shuichi isn't just doing a very committed bit to mess with him but there are a few points of evidence pointing to the eldritch thing.

the dark tendrils keeping him trapped in bed for one.

the soft guttural chittering emitting from a slumbering Saihara was another.

it's not from the other's tongue or teeth, somehow, the other sleeps with his mouth closed, lips not even parting, which was honestly the most unnerving part about this because who doesn't at least– he's getting distracted.

the purring, if it can even be called that, was coming from Shuichi's chest, where his heartbeat should be.

what the hell? if Kokichi wasn't so concerned about waking the other up – what kind of boyfriend would he be? eldritch or not, his Shumai didn't sleep for two days! – he'd have laughed at the absurdity of it.

don't get him wrong, it was soothing, very much so, but did Shuichi have a heart? pressing up against his chest to try and find a beat of it was difficult however.

"you won't find it like that." comes the sleepy murmur and the dark tendrils curl around his skin a little tighter, reminding him of their presence.

"is my Shumai well and truly heartless then?"

"mm, yes. my heart is with you." aw.

wait.

"Shumai, please don't tell me i actually have your heart."

"zzz..."

"Shuichi–"

SDGEHJEDA sorry kokichi the man(?) is dedicated to you enough to have given you his heart, literally.

Don’t mind me, just casually testing out this beyond-incredible hair by @softpine​. Oh, this old thing? Yeah - the bangs have POSE PHYSICS. That’s right - the bang pieces WARP, MOVE AND SHIFT when you change poses; none of those pieces framing her face were drawn in after the fact, these are all in-game and in real time. It actually looks like Rowan is standing on a breezy beach having her photos taken, and I’m beyond inspired right now. I’m literally gobsmacked at how great this hair is, I’m planning to use it as many times as humanly possible.

Seriously can’t wait to see more from this already incredible creator. For a first time out of the gate, you really snatched that trophy! 

Brava, Brandi, brava!
