Twst Incorrect Quote #294

I think the differences can be summed up like this.

Hermes knew Luke hated him so he ignored him and turned his attention elsewhere

Poseidon knew Percy hated him so he put as much effort into showing he cares as possible

Athena knew Annabeth lover her so she held that love over her head

Oh, come fucking on!

Not only they didn't make a doll of Wyatt for Z-o-m-b-i-e-s 3, but also made him straight???

When will the personal attacks stop???

(And also no doll of A-lan!)

Screw that, I'm shipping them.

They're roommates now.

spinning their friendship around in my head

hear me out: Connor and Mitchell but have their first proper interaction be going on a quest (3rd quester is Lou Ellen because I need more Lou Ellen + Hermes kids shenanigans content) to retrieve a special conch shell that requires the cunning and craftiness of a Hermes and Hecate kid and a connection to the sea that only an Aphrodite kid has. Percy offers them a few pointers on sailing but after that, they're on their own.

not sure what exactly the quest would entail but at one point they stop by a port town and Connor steals a bunch of pearls from an extractor. Mitchell reasonably panics a bit when he finds out because oh gods barely a day in and he already has to charmspeak someone into forgiving and forgetting them but Lou Ellen discovers that the extractor was doing detrimental damage to the sea life, so not being able to profit off of the pearls and harming the business is actually perfectly alright in her books.

Connor: perfectly alright, you say?

Lou Ellen: yeah, why allow some assholes to make money off of animal abuse?

Mitchell, seeing the glint in both of their eyes get brighter: ... sigh. Fine, I guess we can fit ruining their operation in today's itinerary.

They go haywire. Lou Ellen works the mist to give them more cover than usual, allowing Connor to have his fun completely messing with the extractors by setting up (relatively) harmless traps and stealing a little more with each passing second, while Mitchell distracts and deflects any concerns the extractors have

One of the extractors: oh, uh, yes! I can definitely show you where we keep the metal pliers, it's somewhere in the back. Let me just—wait, where the hell are my keys?

Mitchell, leaning in heavy with charmspeak: I think you left them near the back door, right? We can just go there now.

Exactor guy: ... yeah, of course. I always do that, easy access you know? Follow me.

And when they reach the door, Lou Ellen knocks him out and Connor unlocks it, a silver set of keys appearing in his hand seemingly out of nowhere. He winks when he catches Mitchell staring.

The rest of the quest follows pretty much the same: with one of them getting sidetracked and the others jumping in to "have a little fun", as Connor likes to put it. They eventually find the conch shell and return to camp, a little wounded but a whole lot closer.

As soon as Connor is let out of the infirmary, he dashes to the Hephaestas cabin. Mitchell is curious, but no one seems to know anything. Lou Ellen just cackles like a madman when she hears. "Ha, he was so antsy for most of the quest. Glad he's able to do something about it now."

Mitchell has no idea what on earth she's talking about, which takes him more off guard than he'd ever thought it would. Because he really believed that him and Connor had become close friends after everything they'd gone through. And surely, he would’ve known if Connor had something else going on. But apparently not. And Lou Ellen did.

And so what if it makes something burn in his chest? To know that Connor is keeping something from him when he thought they'd passed that hurdle long ago. To have that one conversation under the stars, afloat at sea, just drifting calmly and releasing their worries to the wind, that meant so much to him, not hold that same weight?

So what if he had feelings for Connor?

Mitchell doesn't sulk, because an Aphrodite kid will always retain most of their pride in the face of rejection, dammit. Connor seems to be—not avoiding him, but a little distant than he'd grown familiar with, and it hurts a bit. He can admit that.

It isn't until a few days later that there's a tentative tap on his shoulder after lunch and Mitchell turns around to see none other than Connor Stoll with a face so red, Mitchell is genuinely concerned he's going to pass out.

Mitchell: Connor? Are you okay? You look like you're going to explode or something.

Connor, fiddling with something in his pocket: ah ha ha, um, well. I have—something. For you.

Mitchell, completely taken aback: what? For me?

Connor: yeah, I— uh, I had to ask Nyssa for some help and then I had to go steal—I mean, borrow another one of yours because I wasn't sure how many to use and Nyssa wouldn't stop teasing me even though it had to fit perfectly—but t-the point is! This is for you.

And carefully, he pulls his hand out from his pocket and opens it. Laying gently in the center of his palm is a pearl bracelet. It's beautiful.

Mitchell: wait, are those...?

Connor, fingers tapping restlessly and somehow blushing harder than before: the pearls I stole on the first day? Yeah. I saw them on that boat when we were pulling up to the harbour and I just—

He pauses to let out a low, quiet breath, as though steeling himself.

Connor: I noticed your weren't wearing your favourite bracelet when we left for the quest and Lou Ellen told me that it took some damage from the lava wall the other day and you were heartbroken about it— so, I figured... well, you deserve something as beautiful as you.

And Mitchell is just speechless. His heart is pounding so loud and he melts on the spot because it's the sweetest thing he's ever heard and Connor is the sweetest person ever and gods, it was all for him?

Both of their hands are shaking as Connor helps Mitchell with the bracelet's clasp. And of course, it fits perfectly. Snug but not tight, a comfortable weight like it had been there all along.

Connor begins to pull away but Mitchell grabs his hand properly before he can. With hesitant maneuvering, Mitchell interlocks their fingers. The pearl bracelet subtlety reflects the light from the sun, making it look like it's glowing between them. Mitchell softly gazes at Connor, who tentatively matches his smile.

Mitchell: I love it, I really do. Thank you so much, Connor.

Connor: I'm, I'm really glad you do.

Mitchell: I want to take you somewhere. Follow me?

Connor: of course, anywhere.

So Mitchell leads Connor to his favourite spot near the strawberry fields, where there's enough shade under the sturdy tree but still bright and alive with the sun. Somewhere where they can once more lie down and hear the distant waves, free to drift off calmly and release their feelings and dreams, not just worries, to the winds, side by side.

They run into Lou Ellen on their way there. She takes one look at their intertwined hands, the new bracelet around Mitchell's wrist, and she lets out a triumphant whoop!

Lou Ellen: oh let's GO!!! Connor Stoll, bless your little heart, Cecil owes me 10 drachmas now!

Mitchell: huh, so I'm guessing you knew about this?

Lou Ellen: Mitchell, sweetheart. Every time you looked away, he had the worst case of lovesick puppy eyes I've ever seen. I thought it was bad at camp but this guy was clearly holding back. And I had to put up with Solangelo getting their shit together first-hand.

Connor: wh— I— wait. Did Cecil bet against me? Also...Solangelo?

Lou Ellen: Will and Nico, their last names. And Cecil didn't think you'd ever get the guts to properly talk to Mitchell after the quest, never mind enough to give him the bracelet. I, on the other hand, am familiar with what the sheer powers of long time pining can do. Also, having to stare into each other's eyes for like, 5 minutes while holding the conch shell pretty much sealed the deal.

Connor and Mitchell, now BOTH bright red:

Lou Ellen, snapping her fingers with a wild grin: hang on! Connor, Mitchell, conch shell... holy shit maybe this was fate.

And that, folks, is how Conchell came to be.

PERCY JACKSON FANS HEAR ME OUT!

It’s season 3 of the PJO show AKA The Titans Curse. Percy (Walker) is sitting in front of Aphordite Goddess of Love and Beauty who just so happens to look like an older version of his best friend Annabeth (Leah) totally unrelated we’re sure.

Then he blinks and the beautiful woman in front of him changes….now she has brown hair and blue eyes she smiles, its Alexandria Daddario movie Annabeth. Just a split second cameo and then she’s gone.

Now a different woman is sitting in front of Percy, a woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes Kristen Stokes Lightning Thief Musical Annabeth. She shifts and changes again.

The final and last woman we see before Percy has curly blonde hair, tanned skin, and stormy grey eyes it’s book Annabeth.

Percy doesn’t realise it but we do. The Goddess of love shows him every version of the girl he loves from every universe he loves her in. It’s beautiful, it’s cinema, it needs to happen.

I adore ships and I could literally talk about them all day, everyday. Today I will be talking about Cooliver and the reasons why I adore them together.

1) Best-friends to lovers is such an elite trope, especially when these best friends spend every second of the day together yet still never get sick of each other.

2) Oliver himself said that Cooper understands him.

3) There are multiple times where Cooper either changes Oliver’s perspective on a situation or convinces him to do something he didn’t want to do and he is the only one that can do this. The best example is the episode where the Ottos recreate their family photo for Katie’s birthday, Greg tries to convince Oliver to help him but Oliver only listens when Copper tells him to.

4) They are both always so smiley around each other. This is more shocking for a character like Oliver who is not bubbly at all and more closed off. He has never looked at any person, not his girlfriends or his family members the way he has looked at Cooper. It is very clear that they are each other’s person.

5) They are a perfect match. Wealthy boy who does not have a loving family + boy with a loving family who wants wealth.

6) Neither of them are their parents’ favourites. They both deserve to be someone’s favourite person.

7) Cooper finally has someone (in fact a whole family) that loves him for who he is and not for his money.

8) Both of them accept each other for who they are and encourage each other to follow their dreams. The episode where Cooper realizes he wants to be a chef and the episode where Oliver tries to get an internship are good examples of this.

9) They don’t enable each other. Cooper straight goes to Katie when he is concerned about the Oliver wanting to take medication that wasn’t prescribed to him.

10) In Franklin’s words, Cooper follows Oliver around like a lost puppy.

11) They parallel all the canon couples, most notably Katie and Greg.

12) All the little jokes the other characters make about them being married.

13) Certain lines in the script, such as Oliver joking about marrying rich in season 1 and Cooper wanting to be an Otto.

14)Cooper was in Oliver’s vision board.

15) Multiple characters think that they are dating, most notably Taylor.

16) Trip is actually paralled to Cooper in his introduction. This character’s intro was Katie not liking him and thinking he is rich and vapid and a bad influence on her kid, then at the end after doing something nice for a member of the Otto family, which proves to Katie that she was wrong and that softens her towards this character. Whose intro am I talking about? Both Cooper and Trip but Cooper’s intro was done first, which makes me think that Trip’s introduction was inspired by Cooper’s because they are very similar.

17) They could have had any one of Oliver’s girlfriends parallel Franklin and Trip but they never did. Cooper always paralleled them placing him in ‘boyfriend category’.

18) Greg said that Cooper (and Trip) might be around for a very long time. I think Greg might be half-right about this.

19) They gave themselves a ship name.

20) They wore matching tuxedos to prom.

21) This is probably a reach, but they are the only couple who didn’t get engaged in the last episode. The engagement could symbolize an omen, therefore they are safe.

22) Their dreams are compatible. Their dream schools are in the same area.

23) They planned their future together.

24) Oliver’s sadness and his speech to Katie about how much he’ll miss Cooper affected Katie so much that she decided to move Cooper into the Otto home.

25) Cooper’s dynamic with the Otto family, especially his dynamic with Katie.

What if Hyacinthus had dark eyes but Apollon would have described them as an amber or sparkling carnelian at the least because his light was always shining in them.

It was when Hyacinthus died he realized that that carnelian was more of a mahogany because Apollon's light dimmed for that moment.
