percy never promised to keep bianca safe and we have failed as a fandom because so many people think he did.
this is page 119 of the titan's curse. it's definitely a matter of wordplay, but "ill do my best" is NOTHING close to a surefire promise. he never promised.
thats not to say i don't understand where the confusion came from. this is page 290 of house of hades.
rick riordan himself says it-- but it. just. isn't. like i NEED to talk about this cause i keep seeing "percy promised" thrown around the fandom. "i'll do my best" isn't a promise. percy never promised.
remember when percy used to just casually bribe people? and then target their insecurity to manipulate them to get what he wanted? because i do. every day.
Something something Percy being the demigod most connected to nature. Protected from fire, breathes underwater, talks to animals, blessed by pan, shares an empathy link with the lord of the wild, awoke the earth with a drop of his blood
i will never get over them making percy tell nico his sister was dead. i don't care how responsible he felt, that boy was 13 years old. the only thing he was responsible for was learning surface area of 3D shapes.
!!!!
That is one thing that I was sad about in the show. I wish we could have had commentary on how this is not okay.

percy: okay. should i take my storms full of rain, wind, thunder, and lightning with me?
thalia, rolling her eyes: i really don’t know how annabeth deals with you
percy: she likes storms
Have we considered that Bruce Wayne is just a semi-verbal autistic?
thee first scene we got of dr abbott it's him being depressed and suicidal at hospital's rooftop and then eleven episodes later he shows up like-
that's what a good meal and uninterrupted 8h sleep would do to a man
House grew up in a household where “if you were two minutes late for dinner, you didn’t eat.” It follows there would have been other rules surrounding food, likely things like “this is what’s for dinner, eat it or you don’t eat” and “you have to finish what’s on your plate.”
I feel like this would be a possible explanation for why he steals Wilson’s food so often.
House is conditioned to eat whatever is on his plate and finish it. House is smart guy though, and would likely find work arounds to his own issues/behaviours, ie: if it’s not on HIS plate the rules don’t apply.
It would explain why House sometimes eats off Wilson’s plate and sometimes gets his own. If House likes what’s available in the cafeteria and feels he can finish a portion of it he makes Wilson buy him lunch.
However, if he is unsure if he likes what’s available he’ll eat off Wilson’s plate and if he doesn’t like it it’s okay because it isn’t his meal, there is no pressure to eat more.
Same goes for if House isn’t particularly hungry but recognizes he should eat something (could be lots of reasons for this but gotta throw in my personal headcanon of autistic House having poor interoception so he doesn’t always feel hunger, thirst etc but will sometimes go “I haven’t eaten in a while, I probably should.”) and so he tries a bite of Wilson’s food and if he likes it, he steals half. The small portion is more manageable when he is experiencing low appetite and is less stressful to need to finish.
