assorted wayfarers

fuck it, i’m gonna finish benign even though i can’t get things just right

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how, if we’re being honest, valzhang wouldn’t work in the long run because Frank’s made it really clear that Camp Jupiter is his place, and Leo wouldn’t want to live in New Rome (I think he should go back to the mortal world, only really connected to the demigod life because of Festus and never have to give the gods anything else for the rest of time) and I’ve also been listening to the song Never Love an Anchor by the Crane Wives, and the title is taken from the line ‘on some level I think I always understood that a ship could never really love an anchor’ and yeah, that seems fitting

that “I’m not in love with you anymore./I didn’t know you ever were.” audio with valdangelo. Nico hardcore lying to himself and Leo’s oblivious ass

Reminder that when they first met and Piper played dead to sneak up on the storm spirits at the Grand Canyon, Jason was like ‘dang she’s cute, smart and violent and I wish I actually did know her’, he would have loved the fact that she pulls a knife on Drew at the end of TLH, they’re fucking cute and he adores her.

Thinking again about how Nico knows only the real Leo and how if RR had developed that better, then there would have been an actual explanation for why Nico is so angry with Leo for lying about his resurrection plan, because it’s a much more drastic switch up from all the genuineness Nico had witnessed before
