Completely unexpected. :3
Two bros being disappointed at the college frat party and ditch it —
Percy: so let me just get this clear, Leo speaks three languages, he's super tech savvy, and he's in AP math classes.
Leo: pretty much, yeah.
Percy: and Solace over here is like number one professional doctor with years of training and actual practice.
Will: I'm kinda cheating with the magic, but I read the books to make sure.
Percy: meanwhile Reyna, Jason, Hazel and Frank were/are a teenage war general. That must had required something.
Reyna, jason, Hazel and Frank: way too much leadership skills.
Percy: Calipso can make clothes from scratch, and how to grow her own food.
Calipso: I do.
Percy: Nico knows like six languages. And had years of playing video games.
Nico: I know Italian, Latin, Greek, English, and a little bit of French, so like, four and a half.
Percy: Annabeth gained architectural experience when she designed the fucking Olympus.
Annabeth: that was awesome.
Percy: Piper have a famous father, and she speaks French.
Piper: I don't like to talk about it.
Percy: all of you people are actually useful in the mortal world. I am wanted for arson.
Did you guys know that Duke's tag on Ao3 only has 7,000 fics? Because I didn't.
Not sure if we can jump up, kick back, whip around, and spin our way out of this one, boys.
thinking about dick grayson.
dick who has dedicated his life to another man's cause. who lost almost all connections to his history, his heritage at such a young age. who spent his youth trying to live up to another man's ideals, to be shape shift and change into what he thought was wanted out of him. dick grayson who realized he cannot always be what others want, dick grayson who decided to become his own man. dick grayson who had the last name his mother called him torn away from him, who never had a say in letting it go. dick who refuses to allow his closest friends to support him but would have unwavering support for them. dick who wasn't even on the planet when his younger brother died, wearing the vestiges of his childhood.
dick grayson who hallucinates this boy, and apologizes over and over and over again for not being more. dick who cannot understand the same boy when he comes back, who can barely be civil with him half the time. dick grayson who learned what it means to truly draw blood when he was threatened with history repeating itself.
dick grayson who refused to step back into the role that was torn away from him. dick grayson who still came home to help, who will always come home to help. dick who takes the punches, takes the heart-stopping medication, no sorry the pill, no sorry i meant. dick grayson who died in order to serve the mission, (always for Him) always for the mission.
dick who watched his city burn. the city he swore was his to protect. dick who gave his body and soul to protect. his body (rain, cold cold rain). and soul (guns are so much louder when you're not trying to stop them).
dick grayson who had to mourn Him alone. dick grayson who raised His son, dick who watched who he thought was his strongest supporter, walk out of his life. the kid he thought understood him best and was always going to be there for him, walk out of his life to save the mission, (always comes back to Him). dick grayson who learned how to bear the weight of a cape he never wanted.
dick grayson who is naturally a performer. who knows how to pretend better than he knows how to be honest. dick who hides the worst of it inside.
You can't tell me that Juni Ba wasn't directly referencing this when he made that panel.
Can you tell im hyperfixated on him?
PPL NEED TO MAKE THIS REAL BC I NEED THIS
Im saying this not as an opinion but as a matter of fact that hades should have never been the default villain in modern greek myths retellings,becuz dionysus had been always a better fit by leagues & i feel like writers/artists both overlook & underestimate him.Like the fucker wasnt just a silly drunk god,his whole domain tethered on the thin line between ecstasy and madness,embodying both chaos & pleasure. All of these qualities historically had made him simultaneously adored & feared within & outside of his fanatical cult,& circling back to the madness part,idk if yk this but dionysus have this lil tale in wich he caused his followers to go drunk w/ frenzy at a party they literally ripped apart the son of hypnos, i repeat hes so powerful he made a buncha humans kill A GOD! & he didnt face any repercussions fr that!!!
Now ik im skipping on other infos but all of this sounds to me that dionysus is perfect fr the charming & sinister mastermind trope
Johnny, leaning on the counter: Hey beautiful, come here often?
Peter: Is this the part where I remind you we've been married for four years or do I play along?
Johnny: Play along!
Peter: Alright. Sorry, I'm not interested, I'm married
