bro my sister is actually so smart
so yknow how Zuko’s scar is worse directly around his eye?
and there are a lot of reasons that could be but also consider this (and this is what my 12 year old sister came up with)
Zuko was sobbing and refusing to fight his father when Ozai burned him
his tears literally became boiling water against his eye.
WHAT!?
Also, here's a sneak peak of a wip ive got. It's purely pjo but it is based on the idea I brought up in my James Bond/pjo crossover where Hyacinthus was brought back by Gaia. It's set after Blood of Olympus but before trials of Apollo (👀). I'm planning it as a one shot but who knows with me, I might make a second part,
Anyway, here's the start, might change when published idk yet
"Where is he?" Hyacinthus asked as he looked over the sea at the edge of the Island of Delos, sitting beneath the trees, still weary of the Sun. Because the sun means him and he cannot know.
"I don't know." A voice answered behind him, "father sent him away after our battle against the Giants," she paused and Hyacinthus heard her soft footsteps on the grass coming towards him. "It's been over two weeks, and I have not heard anything from him, nor felt a single impression of him." She swallowed, "especially in the Sun."
Hyacinthus turned to Artemis, "he hasn't been driving the chariot?"
Artemis shook her head, "it's only the other Sun gods doing their duties. Sol, Freyr, Amaterasu and the others."
"But no Apollo."
Artemis nodded, "but no Apollo."
Hyacinthus looked back over the sea, watching as the sunlight glistened over the water, his heart heavy. By the Fates it wasn't fair. Haven't they been through enough?
"I will find him." Artemis vowed, "I will not rest until I know my twin is safe."
With that statement, Hyacinthus felt her presence disappear. Hanging his head, he sighed and stood up before walking out of the cover of the leaves into the light of the sun. Finally feeling the warmth he hasn't felt on his human skin in millennia.
"Where are you?" He whispered, absorbing the sun's warmth he denied himself after being brought back months ago. A warmth he once took such comfort in now only brought pain.
Ghost Hyacinthus*smiles*: I'd ask you out if I were alive.
Apollo*on the verge of tears*: I'd say okay.
Hyacinthus:*smiles sadly*
Hades*pats Apollo*: You have to let go Apollo.
Apollo:*breaks down in tears*
The year is 1767. Apollo and Hyacinthus are going on a date at Salzburg University Gymnasium and seeing Mozart's opera “Apollo et Hyacinthus”.
-----
Apollo: There's this musician kid I've been looking after for a while, he had a lot of potential. He just made this opera about you and me, so I'm taking you to you see it on our date! Hyacinthus: Oh gosh, really??? I can't wait to see the play!
(mid-way through the play)
Hyacinthus: *pulling Apollo out* Love, calm down. It's just a play! Apollo: *screaming* MOZART, I TRUSTED YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU FUCKING REPAY ME?!!
Gimme a sec actually crying rn
"You know it's for the better right?"
"Of course." Leo said with a small smile. It was to reassure Calypso that he understood. She wasn't happy. She deserved better.
He didn't cry. Crying is pointless. It leads you nowhere. He didn't talk as much as before, no one wants to listen. He just answered whatever question they asked. He fixed what they broke, ate what they brought him, sat back and watched them laugh without him when they invited him to whatever.
Do what everyone else wants. You don't matter. Whatever they want. It was a while when Jason barged in the bunker where he was hiding and hugged him.
"Woah hey man. You okay?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I should've noticed."
"It's okay." Jason pulled back and held his face. He was crying. "No, it's not. I... I miss you."
"Miss me? I'm right here."
"No. I miss you. When you'd pull pranks, and make stupid jokes, and talk about whatever machine for hours."
"You guys hated that so I stopped."
"Some were a little inappropriate but Gods Leo you're a person. You have wants and needs, I'd rather have a water balloon drop on my head, then see you do this to yourself. You can't do what everyone else wants because it makes them happy. You're allowed to do what you want, to say no."
"Jason if I do that I'll die."
"How?"
"I'd rather feel needed than kill myself."
"It's the only thing keeping me alive." He smiled at him but the tears were obvious. Jason hugged him again, Leo hugging back this time.
"What if um... what if I stayed with you?" Jason asked. "That way you won't be alone."
"That'd be nice." Leo replied. He was trying so hard not to break.
"What do you need right now?" Leo broke down. He cried into his chest Jason holding onto him, letting him know he's here and he always will be from now on.
I just think that someone should write a blaise/theo fic with them adopting a cat together and being happy
