*Jude, Sneaking Back Into The Palace Disguised As Her Twin Sister, Expecting To Need To Talk Her Way

Another reason I'm practically Remus Lupin

remus: talking about feelings are important

remus: i won’t do it, but you definitely should

sirius:

i know we always joke about jude being mean to cardan all the time and cardan just being her simp (which, he canonically is hahaha) but I like to imagine that jude actually becomes unbearably soft and sweet with cardan. but only in private.

i like to think that jude remains the strong willed fighter that she has always been— until she gets home.

when she gets home, she sheds the mask, she sheds the part of her that feels like it always needs to be on the defensive, she sheds the fear.

when she gets home, to their room, she throws her arms around cardan’s neck and hugs him tightly, pressing soft kisses to his neck.

when she gets home, she feels completely safe to cry if she needs to, to tell cardan that she loves him, to be vulnerable, to be soft; safe to let cardan pull her into his arms as they lie in bed and he showers her with the affection she’s always craved.

in the quiet dark of their room, i like to think that they whisper their darkest secrets to each other, their fears, their hopes, their wishes.

i don’t know ;0;

i just want soft jurdan ;0;

brb running to my computer to write this

You know what devastated me about ep 6?

When we hear Nico yell "Bianca!" he sounds SO YOUNG!! My friend literally thought he was a little girl because of how young he sounded! He's 10! He's a 10 year old little boy yelling for his sister because she's the only person he knows in that big bright place! They're all alone and he's 10 and he's tiny and the worse has yet to befall him!! *sobbing on the floor*

I have been at that stage for about 3 years now. And it is so scary. Like, it feels like yesterday that I pulled an all-nighter when I 1st found out about shifting just so I can know all about it. And since then, for so long, I have known almost everything. And I have understood it. And now all of it just comes down to me and my sincerity and my discipline and resolve. Like, the flip am I gon do now, bruh?

I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that I don’t need any help to shift.

I don’t need anymore tips, tricks, or methods. I don’t need more subliminals, I don’t need to constantly reprogram my mind, I don’t even need to read over my script anymore because I consciously and unconsciously know it like the back of my hand.

I know what to do, I just have to build the discipline to do it.

It’s all on me.

And that’s terrifying.

i think it’s a pretty common headcanon that whenever there is a spider, annabeth freaks the fuck out. which is super weird to most people, because she’s like… the bravest person ever. even if you don’t know she’s a demigod, she’s just a badass. but if there’s a spider, she’s screaming bloody murder and jumping up on tables and counters. and of course, percy always comes and kills it for her. no matter what he’s doing or where he is.

but i think what would be even weirder for people (who don’t know her extremely well) is how seriously percy takes it. i feel like girls being scared of spiders and having their male partners come kill it is such a basic ‘weak white girl’ stereotype. and it usually is funny, even to the one who’s scared. so when annabeth does this and starts screaming for percy, people would start laughing. naturally, right? haha it’s so funny that annabeth chase is so scared of bugs. and after percy runs in and takes care of it, they would expect him to be laughing too and poke fun at her.

except it’s the exact opposite. there’s nothing funny about his expression. his jaw is hard-set and his sea green eyes are full of nothing but concern. he does a thorough examination of the surrounding area, makes absolutely sure there aren’t others and gets rid of any webs, and then goes straight to her. and his first question, every single time, is “you okay?” nothing but concern and support. and if the legendary fearless annabeth chase needs her boyfriend/husband to carry her across the room, because she doesn’t want to step on the rug now, you know dam well he’s gonna carry her across the room without a second thought. and you’d better not laugh at her, or else percy’s gonna give you the most scolding glare you’ve ever received, and it’s gonna make your arm/neck hairs stick straight up and your blood turn to ice.

and it would take people off guard every single time. because he’s not laughing at her. he takes her fear completely seriously. and it’s because he knows about her past. he’s seen her face her worst horrors. he knows what happened with archane.

he knows exactly why she’s so scared of spiders, and to him, there’s nothing funny about it.

At first, I was kinda mad about how the pjo show was making percy seem a little too perfect like during the lotus casino scene. But it just occurred to me that he was always like this. Percy was never dumb, he just thinks he is. In other words, percy in the books is an unreliable narrator.

The show displays his adventures in the third person and we see how smart and powerful he is. But in the books, percy's low self confidence results in him believing he is not enough.

No, but the tags part✨️

thinking about how the (greek) big three swore to never sire any more demigod children because those children are just too powerful (dangerous) and also thinking about how the characters that, arguably, seem to have the greatest proclivity for cruelty in the name of justice or vengeance are also the (greek) big three children... there's something there, a connection to be made I'm sure of it

Ok, this

Everything else aside, you know what else is fucked up? How Athena let ECHIDNA, the literal MOTHER of all monsters and the freakin CHIMERA into her "temple". And for what? Annabeth "embarrassed" her??? By letting her demigod quest companion do what he wanted with HIS battle ruins??? AND SHE KNEW THERE WERE CIVILIANS???????

I am having such a hard time picturing me wanting to take the Gods' side in season 5. I just don't see it happening.

so about Cardan's tail, why does everyone think it's so weird? I didn't think twice about it at first, probably because I picture it as being like a lion's tail as opposed to flesh with a tuft on the end (which, granted, is a bit unsettling).

but, like, imagine him being confused about something and just standing there with his head cocked to the side flipping his tail around in the air. imagine him lashing it while he's pacing around, upset or frustrated. imagine him tapping it unconsciously on something while he's thinking. imagine him and Jude lying in their bed, Jude messing with the fluffy bit of Cardan's tail while he's reading. he tells her to quit it, but she knows he's enjoying it.

I don't know, I like his tail. I like the idea that it can convey the emotions he doesn't show on his face.

Wdym USUALLY??

each one of the seven secretly thinks "i'm the most useless person on this ship. everyone is doing smth cool fighting stuff and all and i'm just here. like an idiot"

exept for annabeth

she always thinks she's the most competent person in the room and it's usually true
