THE RECIPROCATION IS HERE, YESSSSS

This part

Unique(obviously) . Excruciating(imagine him in constant 'pain' cuz he knows she hates him and he knows she isnt his and probably wont be) Alarming(imagine him alarmed everytime he sees her because hes just hit with how beautiful she is and how much unlike him and loved) Distressing(imagine him panicking because yup, he loves her, but she never will)

Annabeth comparing 12 year old percy jackson to the king of the gods, the god of wisdom and battle strategy and the god of war and saying he's better than them. Annabeth's entire world view crashing down in the face of Percy's kindness and loyalty to the point where she defends his honor against millenia old gods. I will never recover from this.

1st, we were saying the (kinda) same things from the very beginning just on different wavelengths.

2nd, James died trying to protect Harry too, so what if he couldn't cast the Charm? He was taken by surprise since he trusted Wormtail with his life and he was his best friend, and ik, Lily might have gotten somewhat close to home too, but James had know him for (I think so, I'm not sure) his whole school life, he thought they were Ride or die. And, sadly for James, he had to Die. Because he was betrayed. So, it is understandable that he couldn't cast the Protection spell. Also, who are we kidding? He was no way as smart as out Lovely Lily. So it wouldn't be that much a surprise, yk. And, like, you say there was Severus because of Lily, but weren't there Remus and Sirius because of James? Doesn't that make James's significance just as much? And to think that Harry looked very VERY similar to James, he might have a different kind of feeling about him. So, I think James might have had a similar, if not bigger, presence in Harry's life.

People get mad that Harry named his son after Severus. However I’m leaning more towards the fact that Snape did the most thankless job even after being mistreated all of his life by the people he was saving and working with and the only thanks he gets- the only time anyone has decided to remember a single thing he did- it’s when Harry is naming his spawn.

Severus is not even the spawn’s first name, it’s his second name. Oh yeah and he threw in some half-baked dialogue about how Severus was brave. Wow truly what a fucking treat, what an homage.

And people are complaining that he didn’t name his kid after Hargid (or Lupin I don’t think which is pretty sad and also thankless). And I agree, but instead of switching out Severus’s name, take out James’s.

He named one of his kids James Sirius Potter (which is just so cringe) and like my question is why? Sirius is perfectly understandable but why James? James has done absolutely nothing-and I mean-NOTHING for Harry apart from get compared to him and has basically acted as a sperm donor to Harry. No- not a father, because being a father actually requires raising ur kid- no James’s only merit is that he had a wizard messiah in his ballsack. Brilliant.

The edits will be WILD

The desperation in annabeths “wait” when Percy shuts the door. When she screams “Percy don’t do this to me” my HEART!!! THE SIGH OF RELIEF WHEN PERCY KNOWS SHELL BE OKAY. Honestly Percy outsmarting Annabeth to introduce his fatal flaw is possibly the best way to introduce who he is. They shattered my heart with this scene.

percy telling annabeth that them hugging was okay and then basically asking her out on a movie date in the span of a few hours... crush era is so prominent i will start to CRY and WAIL and SCREAM

SOMEONE HAS PROBABLY SAID THIS BEFORE BUT THE SHOW FOCUSES ON PERCY SEEING THINGS RIGHT?? LIKE THE BOOKS WERE MORE “THIS INEXPLICABLE STUFF HAPPENS TO ME” AND THE SHOW WAS MORE “I SEE THESE INEXPLICABLE THINGS” RIGHT?? AND IN THE SHOW PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL HIM HE’S IMAGINING IT. AND IN SOM HE CARRIES A PICTURE OF ANNABETH AROUND TO REMIND HIMSELF THAT SHE’S REAL. SO IN THE SHOW IT’S GONNA BE LIKE. “I DIDN’T MAKE HER UP. SHE ISN’T SOMETHING I IMAGINED. SHE’S REAL. SHE’S REAL.” I’M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT

The houses as.... Writers

Gryffindor: 

the hemingway’s of the world

their writing is full of angst and personal experience

can often come across as anecdotic- they take what has happened to them and apply it to a broader spectrum

there is an underlying current of passion in everything they write

many late nights w/ coffee because they were suddenly inspired at 2am while nearly dreaming

Ravenclaw: 

the fantasy writers

create whole worlds bc they aren’t satisfied with the one’s they are in

stories often make a statement on real world issues in a creative way

prefers to use a typewriter/hand-write their stories

shares their ideas with very few

almost never finishes a story bc they have so many half-finished ideas swirling in their heads

Slytherin: 

the realistic writers

creates painfully authentic, multi-faceted characters with abundant flaws

their writings aren’t meant to teach a lesson; simply to share a story

draw inspiration from those around them; MAJOR people watchers

their writing is highly sophisticated and not easy to digest; you have to pay attention to every detail

prefer writing in the 3rd person; like to take an omnipotent view as a way of removing themselves from the piece

take great pride in their work and don’t reveal it until it’s at a standard that they approve of (and that bar is HIGH) 

Hufflepuff: 

the poets

a lot of YA authors are hufflepuff

create beautiful imagery in everything they write

their attention to detail is impeccable; they want to ensure that what they imagine is what the audience also envisions

their writing is raw with emotion and makes the reader feel for the characters

1st person stories

very open/receptive to criticism; seeks out ways to improve upon their creation

their stories always have a moral that they want the world to know

everything they write is a piece of them

Not only did Cardan send Jude a dress to match his own clothing in tcp, but out of the blue that night, he decides to dance with Jude. He doesn’t even wait for her and Locke to be done. And he says nothing that indicates he had a specific reason to talk to her. Read it. Chapter 20 TCP. He has nothing important to say to her, and he doesn’t mock her either. He just makes conversation in his Cardan way of doing so, while also getting the tiniest bit handsy.

Beautifully, he ends their conversation with, “Until we spar again.” As he departs, Jude says that Cardan “weaves unsteadily through the crowd”

Bitch… 🫢… we know damn well why them legs unsteady. And it ain’t the mf liquor.
