call me a lesbian but i JUMPED for this book when I saw it at my local bookstore. ive already read it twice, and im in love
her poems are enrapturing, attention grasping, and overall beautiful. i'm not even kidding when i say these fragments top any other completed poem ive read
will never not suggest this book to people, it is 100% worth the read. my copies already heavily annotated

i have so many fic idea's but when i realize i'd actually have to write them.... oh look, suddenly my homework is looking real tempting
Obviously it's canon that Percy was Nico's gay awakening but it's my personal headcanon that Percy was also Will's awakening because the bike scene. Like. Do I need to explain further.
Imagine being grabbed by Percy onto a bike and holding him for dear life as he speeds you through New York, like there's no way it didn't make him start questioning things about himself.
I'd also like to think this is something he hasn't told Nico and is really awkward when he tries to dodge the question.
y'all aren't going to BELIEVE this
I only got these books for $6, literally crying happy tears rn. I found them in my local thrift store and grabbed them immediately
not ali Hazelwood literally confirming this...
i cannot emphasize how much i love their parallels im not even kidding i'd pay to see canon interactions between them they're both so complex and layered characters i just arghaebhxmedm
everything stays right where you left it
everything stays but it still changes

This sentence haunts me a bit.
Because after everything that Sally has sacrificed to ensure Percy’s safety, after suffering physical, emotional and psychological abuse from Gabe for years, sending Percy to probably very expensive private schools, and still managing to remain kind, baking him cookies, and giving him blue candies whenever he felt bad, and never raising her voice at him, she was still doomed to fail at fully protecting him.
Because to save Percy from getting killed by gods, and monsters, she had to invite a monster into their very home. She had to “condemn” Percy to receive physical and emotional abuse during crucial stages of his life, resulting in dangerously low self-esteem, self-hatred and even suicidal tendencies; issues which follow him throughout every single book.
By the time he was twelve, his self-esteem was so low that Percy even believed Sally didn’t want him around at the start of The Lightning Thief.
Sally, whom he thought the world of. Sally, who is, in his eyes, the kindest, most loving person in the world.
I can’t even begin to imagine how much that thought would mess with a twelve-year-old boy’s mind.
Like, I know we as a fandom see them as the most healthy and best possible mother-son bond ever, and I’m not denying that they absolutely love one another, would do anything for each other or that Sally did not do her absolute best to protect him, but their relationship is in actuality way more nuanced and heartbreaking than we tend to acknowledge most of the time.
