I think I've figured out why I screamed a lil too hard in this Dame Aylin scene. Something something about 6ft+ tall women stepping on their enemies to death with their muscular legs

6 8 9 11 12 + 17! hope u have a safe comfortable flight bb
thank u!! sorry this took a while but i have landed safely in colorado and now have time to answer ✌️
6. Episode of tv or webisode that defined the year for you?
god what the fuck did i even watch this year. i think the most correct answer for me is probably either the battle of the brands episode of dimension 20's a starstruck odyssey or just all of a court of fey and flowers.
however please keep in mind that the last episode of mob psycho 100 season 3 does not come out until this wednesday and it will almost certainly take the top spot, so
8. Game of the year? i mean. legally i think this has to be disco elysium for me right? i think i played it for the first time in march and since then i've played it 2 and a half times, started writing meta about it, and in general have been thinking about it constantly ever since. (speaking of, i really need to get back to that third run & make that theoretical essay about representations of maps & space in disco elysium happen)
runners up:
hollow knight (thank u for introducing me to it!!)
the great ace attorney (even though i played it for the first time last year, but my obsession with it got fully reignited in the past few months so it deserves a mention)
(this got kinda long so the rest is under the cut!)
9. Best month for you this year? hm. absolutely no clue because i have a terrible sense of time, so lets say whatever month this summer i came to visit u. july? listen i have the summer off all the months blur together
11. Something you want to do again next year? many things! direct a show again! come visit u again! do more translations! write more fanfiction! the possibilities are endless!
12. Talk about a new friend you made this year: answered! but because i did in fact make more than one friend this year, i'll say i also got closer with more people from my department and made friends with a lot of new people there! especially a lot of linguistics people who are very fun
17. Post a picture from the end of the year
most of the pictures i take are boring as hell so i'll post a couple
Tumblr media
a pic of my new bookshelf that i put together this weekend + my newly rearranged living room

iconic kazuma asogi moments from my most recent tgaa playthrough

I was tagged by the coolest tumblrina @wvnjo to answer this ask game. Each time your personal tags show up on my dash, i think about how much someone as full of energy and ambition like you deserves to reach her life goals. I can't be more than a groupie who is cheering for you from the side, but i'm doing it with all my heart. 💗
Name: Imane
Sign: Lion sun, Taurus moon, Capricorn rising,
Height: 1,58m
Time: 18:45
Birthday: july 27th
Favourite bands/artists (the ones i always returned to in difficult times): Ali Farka Touré, Toumani Diabaté, Fayruz, Umm Kulthum, Cesaria Evora, Médine,  Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and so many more
Last movie: US by Jordan Peele
Last show: Severance (an instant favourite: series that mix sci-fi/political concept+ philosophical/metaphysical questions about the nature of identity+ impossible love stories will always have a special place in my heart)
When I created this blog: I think in 2011 but it's not my first blog on Tumblr
What I post: What my mood dictates me. I see my blog as kind of stream of consciouness created to calm and to relax. I reblog quasi exclusively (since i have no talent) all sort of arts (photography of nature, architecture, paintings, poetry, music, gifs of films) and sometimes current news about the world (Palestine), but in a specific order because my brain needs a visual/aesthetic connection to what i reblog and more importantly an invented (by me) narrative continuity between the posts. That's why i don't reblog immediately what i like or bookmark. I search/create in my mind the stories that gives sense to me to the flow of the pics/gifs i pick.
Last thing I googled: Algeria
Other blogs: Fandom blogs. It's pure nostalgia for my childhood favourite tv shows.
Do I get asks: Very rarely. That's why i rarely post personal thoughts. I think most of my followers prefer this blog to speak for itself, without additional thoughts...
Following: I don't get this one. Am i is supposed to say how many people i follow or who i follow?
Average hours of sleep: usually 6-8h. I can't have less: i'm too old to endure sleepless nights anymore.
Instruments: None
What I’m wearing: A cute blue dress i received as a gift from my mother who just came back from her holidays in Algeria.
Dream job: Quoting my muse @wvnjo "I don’t dream of labour". I studied law and worked in the field for years because i have a strong sense of justice. I loved to defend people but lost a lot of my illusions, so i quit. These days, i daydream of some activity, (not necessarily a job, volunteering would be very okay), with children: helping in a children library (i love to share books and stories with children) or teaching some after classes lessons to children of primary schools.
Nationality: algerian the only one that matters in my heart and forever. I have been born, raised and lived my entire life en France. I have the french citizenship but i don't feel i belong here. If my health condition was better, i would pobrably try to leave France.
Favourite songs (currently, it changes all the time): Sun May Shine by Tamino, all because my favourite music librarian @wvnjo rebloggged it and got me hooked. it's so melancholic and so soft at the same time, i think i will never be not haunted by Tamino's voice (and the notes of arab influence in his music certainly helped a lot).
Last book I read: The Willow Tree by Hubert Selby Jr. A very powerful modern story on revenge, grief and forgiveness about a young black american boy whose life is shattered when his hispanic girlfriend and him are attacked by a street gang enraged by the fact they are a racially mixed couple. I loved how the author used such a musical and poetic language to tell a a seemingly hopeless and dark tale, until grace comes from an unexpected place and enlightens again life.
3 fictional universes: Middle Earth. Battlestar Galactica. All poems and plays related to the House of Atreus: The Illiad, The Odyssey and The Oresteia.
Tagging all my mutuals and everyone who feel inspired by this ask game.

Custom GPT experiments: "The Green Odyssey" by Philip José Farmer
This is a work in the Public Domain.
Content warning: this is 1950s science fiction. I have never read it and can't attest to anything in this book.
So, with that in mind, I'm experimenting with using it (as the first of a handful of Public Domain works) to create custom GPTs and to see how closely the output matches the input. I've never read this book before, so I'm supposed to take my custom GPT's word for it. The first thing that I did, was upload a copy of the book (from Project Gutenberg) to the GPT. I promise you that I will have an explainer with screenshots. I'm just not gonna do it at this hour. Then I engaged back-and-forth with the GPT and came up with a couple of pages of detailed descriptions from the book, and also about 10 pages of summary. And then I asked it to generate a graphic novel script for the first chapter. I've been having it generate pics of scenes based on stuff in the graphic novel script, to see what comes up. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to actually do a graphic novel here, I'm just seeing how far I can push this, and how much I can learn.

I think most Wario fans would agree that the Wii U era was a dark age for Wario.
Game & Wario didn’t do well, no new Land or Ware game on the horizon, Smash screwed him over more than ever, Wario regularly got left out of stuff and it sucked.
That said, 2017 really marked a turn for the better for Wario and honestly, it’s remarkable how much him and his supporting cast have gotten since:
Wario:
- Wario has gotten to be a costume in both Jump Rope Challenge and even Animal Crossing New Horizons as part of the Super Mario anniversary event, despite barely being a factor in the Super Mario series.
- While Smash is still in need of overhauls for him, we got a better Wario then ever with a return of the Shoulder Charge, a proper Ground Pound animation for his down throw and the hillarious slap.
- The Wario series itself is finally back.
- Baby Wario has returned and got quite a bit of material to promote his inclusion in Dr. Mario World.
Wario & Waluigi:
- Nintendo has become noticably fond of flaunting these two on social media.
- The two got Rabbid counterparts and figure cameos in Mario + Rabbids.
- Wario has two alts in Mario Kart Tour already and Waluigi has one.
- The two are in Clubhouse Games and have their outfits in Odyssey.
- Camelot still adores them and gives them loads of special attention in marketing and in-game, for Tennis Aces and Super Rush.
Waluigi:
- He’s getting his own Pro Controller.
- Nintendo just casually threw around a new Waluigi render on Youtube for the fun of it.
- His outfit was made the basis for a Luigi’s Mansion 3 multiplayer color scheme.
Ware’s Cast:
- WarioWare has returned and we can even play as them in Get It Together.
- Mona, alongside Wario, was in a My Nintendo discount ad.
- They are, as always, represented in Smash.
- The whole cast got character trailers after Gold came out.
- Wario, Ashley, Mona, 9-Volt. 5-Volt, Penny and Young Cricket were part of the official Nintendo Dream sticker set, giving WarioWare among the more extensive amounts of characters in there.
- The same magazine had in-character interviews with the cast, written by WarioWare staff.
- Mona and Ashley got special christmas art on Gold’s website.
Land’s Cast:
- We finally got Land characters represented in Smash via Spirits and Shokora even got highlighted on Ultimate’s website.
- Captain Syrup may or may not be that one caller in that one phone souvenir in WarioWare Gold.
- Captain Syrup was mentioned by name in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
M&W/Woods’ cast:
- Wanda got to be a spirit in Ultimate.
- Wanda got even more official acknowledgement via being part of the Nintendo Dream sticker set.
Everyone:
- Wario’s cast shows up very frequently on Spirit Board Event pics. Land, Ware, Wanda and Waluigi.
It’s still by no means perfect. Land is still MIA, we still have no Wario characters in Mario games and no Wario & Waluigi in Super Nintendo World or DLC for them in Mario + Rabbids.
On the whole though? We haven’t been this well off in a long, loooooong time.

Kiss prompts, Number 5 w/ Zemo (Lying Kiss)
For @that-stupid-head-tilt-thing
Tumblr media
(It would be easy to write about Zemo getting to the raft but I like to get complicated. This was becoming like the Odyssey so I scraped back the idea to the root and there it is, let me know what you think ✨)
You smiled looking at your dating app and then at the man approaching you.
An handsome one that, for once, matched the profile pic, simply elegant, his smile was the one of a man that knew his way around.
“I am glad to finally meet you in person” he said shaking your hand, you have been chatting on and off for few weeks.
A sokovian teacher with a passion for learning Russian that you gladly helped.
“Or?” You asked and he repeated his phrase back but in Russian as you taught him.
“Good” you said proudly, after chatting for so long online, he sat down at your table.
“I hope you didn’t wait too long” he said, he was dressed simple but smart, a shirt, a light sweater on top of a dark emerald green that suited his pale complexion and dark hair.
The waiter soon joined you as he ordered for himself and for you a very expensive bottle.
“Helmut” you chuckled as soon as the waiter left “are you out of your mind?”
“No, I like fine things, fine wines and a fine woman like you can’t drink something cheap” he said as he touched your hand with his.
It was useless to go around it too long, you chatted about simple words and words of common use and numbers and then slowly to love words. Those words any woman wishes to hear, he learned those all through you, and he was an avid student, he improved so fast you couldn’t even believe it.
The wine came and so a special menu, he ate and chatted as you looked up at him.
“Where’s the catch?”
He looked up as you asked so
“A smart, clearly well off man and also cultured single, where’s the catch?”
He looked at you and shrugged “I am widower”.
You wished to choke on your drink, of course it must have been a sad story, what an idiot question.
“I am sorry”
“It is life” he said but you could tell from his voice he was pushing himself to say so “what about you?”
You looked up at him and gulped some more wine.
“I am insufferable” you said and he looked at you titling his head on side.“I just, I guess I make men leave me, I always reach the two years mark and I get claustrophobic” He looked at you as you explained yourself and he chuckled a bit.
“So you will stop talking me after two years?”
“Do you expect to stay that long?”
“I am a patient man” he said stealing you a smile with his boldness stopping for a second to ask in English “I long for what I can’t have, besides, how you say longing in Russian?”
You leaned your head on side but answered him anyway.
The date itself was made by smiles and soft chats, he even carried per of it in Russian and your heart was getting fond of him, of his ways.
But you saw sadness in him, he looked confident but something was off.
When the time of your dinner run out he paid without letting you even try and left the table with you by his arm.
“Let me walk you home”
He offered charming as always, so handsome and his cologne making you feel so relaxed.
“Oh wait” you told him rushing to a night vendor leaving him puzzled as you handed him a crêpe with chocolate “try it, don’t ask”
He smirked and indeed tried it.
“So good” he said after a moment, closing his eyes, a natural reaction that made you wonder what was natural in your date.
“aren’t you in Paris now?”
He smirked
“Paris or paradise?” he asked back looking at you as you kept walking.
He wasn’t much of a talker, you tried to ask here and there but he didn’t let you go through.
He walked you to the doorstep of the apartments building you lived into, the dark night making it look cold compared to the warmth of the place you just dined.
“I will be expecting your latest grammar exercises”
“Only that?” He asked back and he made you blush, but he leaned closer.
“Can I ask you a weird question?”
“Sure”
“How you say freight car, I can’t seem to pronounce it right” you leaned your head on side but answered him, what a weird word to ask.
“Now that I have told you this, will I be allowed to see you again?” You joked and he smirked as you don’t know how true your worry is.
“Of course, draga” he murmured leaning in to steal you a kiss, quick but passionate, there was a roaring need in him, something moving under the surface that was so composed.
You leaned in as you gently leaned for his body, he felt warm, comfortable, welcoming in a way that when he took a step back, his charm was still on you.
“Call me” you said as he moved back with a smile and left.
He never called you again.

New mini series “ I remember, I remember” the more your remember the older you are, personally it’s astonishing how much tech has done within the last decades. It is also a bit scary how dependent we are on n computer chips and all that goes with it,, to think,of what is to come,,,A.I.
Anyhow now to the point
I remember, I remember
Before the first microwave ovens, when they first came out they were only at cafes and such
The first video games, we were advanced at my house. Had an Odyssey Pong, it had 4 games “pong, hockey, squash and a handball game for one player. I think you could control paddle size and speed, not sure if you could play against computer, but the one we had you could remove controllers that were wired in. Amazing,,,then the Atari age with pixelated cartridges,
The first calculator, dad got it on black market for $100. It was trex LED read out, I forget how many digits it had, but only 4 basic functions + - / * it did have a recall memory, he’ll use kids fought over using just for fun
Big one. The home computer, I remember before we had anything, then the commodore age all DOS command type based, now there is more memory on a micro sd than what would take a large room to store. There is 1,000 times more power on the cheapest of phones than what was top line Pc. Then dial up internet, to download a song took hours, no joke hours to download a simple song.also texted based games which I still enjoy.
Mobile phones, enough said, what the hell would we do without them lol. First was the pager. I remember running to answer phone in time, busy signals, knotted cords, phone books. The first cordless phones with lousy reception. or how about reading maps to get directions,,,lolMy gang to group talk when we couldn’t meet used CB radios to chat instead of group text.
Televisions,, from small screens to console that weighed hundreds of pounds 3 vhf channels, maybe 4 or 5 uhf,,,having to adjust antennas, vertical and horizontal hold, black and white. Waiting for holiday specials,,,,then came the video tape, VHS and Beta, laser disc,,, then incredible compact disc then blue ray. I remember spending hours looking at store to rent a movie,,,be kind rewind, or get a fine lol,,now huge wide screen, ultra HD smart tv, that are super light and super cheap
Along those lines. Music, from the phonograph, reel to reel tape, cassette tape, 8 tract. Now like most movies and video games it’s all streamed and downloaded in seconds.
Digital cameras, no more hoping pic turns out once developed, first we had instamatic . Set the timer and peel or shake it, home camcorders. Now every phone ready to take pic of everything at any given moment.
There are many who go back to basics,say vinyl has better sound, or film 35mm cameras take better photos,
Has it gone to far, eliminating human jobs with automated check outs, ordering food at restaurants on an app. Will AI droids take over are tasks, eliminating jobs, creating a larger social gap.
Then the big question that happens all the time, just not catastrophic yet. Computer failure, virus, hacking, warfare. When we become so damn dependent on the co outer chip in everything we own....okay enough preaching,,,,pleas comment with other advances with past decade that you find good or bad
Dial tones, fax tones, busy signal, tv station sign off with National Anthem then a test pattern, rotary dial phones, the move from AM to FM. CB radios, pulling a tube out from tv then taking to local,drug store, put it in correct pin slot to test, TV repairman coming to house, milk man coming to house, no soy for us vegans, lol), cars you could work under the hood on,,before remote controls that control, tv, light bulbs, heat and ac, stereo, phones for selfies, ceiling fans, windows and shades, remote start car, Key less unlock and start cars, talking to human on the phone not a series of button push, cover art on albums, vinyl albums skipping or warping, records with multiple speeds, when most people paid with cash,

tuesday again no problem
difficult week, personally/professionally/politically/in the world
listening a good song never dies, van horn- i don’t know enough music theory words, but the driving guitar that comes in in the first couple seconds? good. love it. it has a sneaky but cool feel, like if modern james bond were american? i don’t really know what i mean by that bc i think that’s just the mission impossible movies BUT it has a cool, detached sound with a rougher edge. i think the chorus has my favorite lines:
Cause a good song never dies/It just reminds of where you were/The first time it made you cry/The first time you felt alive
youtube
reading finished but did not enjoy The Infinite Horizon, a modern Odyssey retelling by Noto & Duggan. didn’t quite jive with the pacing or art style, the setting in the hear future with a flooded nyc and lots of climate refugees in upstate new york that penelope has to deal with was interesting but wasn’t pushed far enough or used in an interesting manner.
Tumblr media
watching
youtube
 the Dragon’s Dogma anime (netflix, 2020), whose opening credits have enormous Black Sails vibes. despite the many people in my life who love this game and have also told me “kay you would hate this video game”, i am shocked and appalled to find it has a standard video game plot. the only context i have for this franchise is the two-ep monster factory run. (SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST EP AND A HALF) man replaces dead wife with perfect blank slate magic no-named magic woman he names after dead mother, i said “no thank you!” out loud and closed my laptop.  
all dead wife plots would be infinitely more interesting if they were dead husband plots and here’s how i would rewrite this anime and game i know very little about:
pregnant wife survives, has to protect her young daughter who’s the only thing she has left of her beloved husband while forming an anti-dragon resistance group, turns desire for revenge into cold political fury
bc the dad rushing in headlong left such an impression on the mother she's convinced the only way to defeat her deadliest enemy is by first weakening it through politics and subterfuge/targeted assassinations against the dragon's political allies
the dragon doesn't actually have political allies this anime as-is isn't that complicated
flashback arc as the mother tries to gain political allies, where we learn how the dragon came to power: complex targeted campaign of burning certain duchies/kingdoms/key towns to the ground in order to get others in line,
the beginning of the show when the husband died was the very old dragon deciding to go on one more fire and brimstone campaign for funsies, like an old general going out to lead one last battle
dragon’s seneschal or main spokesperson or whoever is a hot witch lady under thrall or some shit bc she sought power from the dragon and it backfired spectacularly
daughter is basically emily dishonored, trained in the art of sabotage and assassination, mother uses her as a scalpel in order to maneuver the counties/kingdoms surrounding the dragon’s lair to stay out of the way of them killing the dragon
an effort that will be led by the daughter, who will probably not make it out of the spearhead effort to weaken the dragon by flooding the lair with ??? magical Greek fire or some shit?
daughter’s lover, who has been off researching the magical equivalent of Greek fire or some shit to use against the dragon, comes back with the goods and pleads with her to choose her/life/hope over almost certain death while fighting the dragon
the dragon dies the night before the daughter is about to assassinate it! she finds the dragon dead in a gigantic lavish set of a cavern of gold and skulls and shit!
struggle in power vacuum! what does a new order under no dragon look like! what’s the mother’s fucking purpose any more and what does she do with all this power she’s accumulated under the shared banner of killing the dragon! do they lie and say they did actually kill the dragon? how do the daughter and her lover fix their relationship! how do the MOTHER and her adult daughter deal with their new relationship???
WHERE DID THE DRAGON’S HOT WITCH SENESCHAL GO AND WHAT IF ANYTHING DID SHE HAVE TO DO WITH THIS. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DRAGON’S HOLDINGS AND STAFF
season two babey! political maneuverings in the background of a murder mystery bc now the daughter wants revenge on the person who stole HER revenge and also, from her point of view, wrecked her relationships with her mother and her lover for nothing!
please god someone hire me for some sort of well-paying job bc i've made this simple revenge plot infinitely more interesting while high off my ass on benadryl
playing animal crossing continues to be a balm. gotta pick up a couple hundred acorns to make a cool table and chairs set. not a lot to say about this real simple game that’s a quiet delight. i feel like that was a lot of text all at once have a pic
Tumblr media
making curtains, bc the light/window/curtain situation in this apartment continues to be abysmal. these two printed panels i’ve been terrified to cut into have been in my possession since the first time i came back to college. my boss at the time did a lot of networking and traveling, and she was given these at some point by someone. sensing the latent feral textile energy within me or something, although she probably just wanted to clear out her office a little bit, i got these along with a bunch of other shit that has since come to its useful end. but these two panels have been with me through half a dozen moves, and now they’re curtains.
i do not think they are the sort of religious textile a white person shouldn’t own, to the best of my research they are somewhat generic touristy souvenir fabric, but i would be interested to hear otherwise and fix my mistakes, bc i have not cut into them just made some very deep hems. they are printed slightly askew, so my regular perfectionist “pick a warp or weft thread and pin along that line” doesn’t fucking work but i mostly had room for nice finished seams. this fabric is a touch heavier than quilting cotton but lighter than a linen sheet, pretty tightly woven, a little shiny, and i would be reluctant to wash these since in the process of hemming quite a lot of the dye has come off on my hands. didn’t hem the selvedge edge bc i can’t be fucking bothered. here is an abysmal picture, i am very proud of my precise measurements and how nicely they line up. they are a little bit of a weird size proportionally speaking for this room, but they stay out of the way of the outlet and the heater, they go with my bedspread, and that’s what i really care about. if you think i’m gonna fucking iron twelve square feet of curtains you are wrong

Oh we ARE impertinent
okay since @annabetncnase asked for it, my big ole post, UNEDITED about the Lightning Thief Musical on Broadway. good luck to anyone who attempts to read this shit
ACT 1
Prologue/Day I Got Expelled
Alright so there is big boom lightning at the very very beginning of the show because Of Course there is? But it also comes with a huge flash of light, which startled liTERALLY everyone in the audience. Very fun, good use of technical effects. First guy on is James Hayden (Luke + Some) and he opens with the line. Then KRISTEN FUCKING STOKES (whom I have grown to ADORE) and the rest of the ensemble (Sally, Claiese, and Grover) come on and have this AMAZING choreography. They’re singing and all and then these curtains (which have been up and are on my pic) get pulled away from both sides by the whole onstage cast and CHRIS runs up and does this slide thingy to the very tippy top of the stage, where he sat for a moment, then turned to the audience and started. I about screamed and I’m not joking, he’s so expressive and such a great Percy (god I’m in love with him great work). As the song progressed, I was impressed by the ability with lighting use and all these cool stage tricks to have the Mrs. Dodds and also the pen/sword thing! Jorrel plays Grover so well, he’s so empathetic and caring toward Percy and I!!! So the whole story of him getting expelled is explained and god it is so fucking sad. Percy’s voice cracks. Percy’s fucking upset clearly and doesn’t understand and ouch…. ‘So if you think you are a half-blood’ is said so gently, and then THE DANCING. Chris can dance. Like well. Very well. So during ‘THis ain’t Odyssey’s Odyssey” he did a big ole kick and danced his heart out. SO good.
Strong
So obviously there’s some talking in between the first piece and this one, and there was a scene change when the lights went out and now they’re in Percy’s apartment with his mom and Gabe. Gabe is like… god you seem him and you loathe him bc he’s played so well. Percy sprays a chan of ‘aerosol’ at one point bc Gabe smells. And Chris just captures Percy’s compassion so well… He tells his mom that she doesn’t have to stay with Gabe and doesn’t deserve that and ugh so good. There are genuine blue marshmallows. and the way they did the little fire with the fog in the bucket and Percy’s mom’s comforting him hhh.
The Minotaur/The Weirdest Dream
The transfer to this scene/piece is very quick, Grover comes running in with a trash can over his head and he asks if Percy told Sally about the field trip and she said no and it was just a big mess of miscommunication. He basically gets to the point where he says the Minotaur is after Percy and holy shit. This boy is massive. And the design of it is insane and it’s got red eyes and wow. ‘I hope you’re really a SWORD” and he fight and it’s all just great. Sally goes away, Percy kills the beast and then ‘Don’t pass out…” Poseidon is in a tank top and a open Hawaiian shirt as well as flip flops and just “oh look, a man in a Hawaiian shirt’ He takes the seashell and is just the most confused. And then they bring in Annabeth, pushing her on one of those dolly things and she’s ‘floating’ and the whole thing is a big dream. Up until she tells him “You drool when you sleep” right and the thing is… the banner for CHB unfurls and the lights come back up and all of that and just it’s a true rude awakening. Then he looked around the camp and was so confused, Annabeth (beautiful, amazing, badass Kristin) started explaining what was happening and he had no clue. She then calls for Mr. D  
Another Terrible Day
I don’t think you guys realize how good Jorrel is. Maybe you do but we stan Jorrel. But he comes out dressed in not matching clothes with a bright button up (pink) and plaid shirt, suspenders. He’s angry. Percy explains that he has no clue what’s going and everything’s getting explained to him with the other demigods. The other demigods are so cute and I love them so much. And he’s yelling through a megaphone. Jorrel can do so many roles so well and he did a great job. “You’re a horse?!” also he just clops. Like it’s human legs. Clip clop bitch. With a tail.
Their Sign
Again the transition from the first song to this second one is really fast. Chiron’s comforting but god is Percy angry. I love that tbh. Chris is clearly upset and he feels for Percy. And he shows it. He’s upset and then Percy’s voice goes all soft… Love that. Luke starts being buddy-buddy and showing him that it’s gonna be alright. Supposedly.
Put You In Your Place
Fucking. Sarah. Goddamn. I can’t believe how good she is. We stan so hard. Her fit? Great. Her voice? Belted. Awesome. Annabeth truly out here though. SHe’s intimidating as fuck and she knows what she’s about. There’s so much cool battle choreo in this scene and it just looks great. There’s blocking and stabbing and it looks awesome. Also that guitar riff that she comes in with is rad. And then the bathroom thing. Great. Percy’s cornered and it clearly shows that his powers came as a last resort with stress and the way they flashed the blue lights is just great I love that so fucking much. And they’re asking about the way he figured out those powers and they’re freaked out. Cool shit. Also “The plan would have worked either way.” Holy fucking shit. Annabeth is fucking scary as hell. She gives zero fucks about Percy at the beginning
The Campfire Song
The way they made the campfire is so cool! Very techy. And I didn’t realize they’re sitting around the campfire eating dinner together as a camp. Very family much love I’m a big fan. They’re putting the food into the fire and then complaining and I love it. Percy’s so sweet trying to talk about his mom and then come back around once they tell him what’s going on. Also they have a cute dance they do together. SO unified and lovely. And then THE FUCKING SIGN COMES. Percy’s sign. The whole thing. They’re looking and he’s like “Is that a fork?” “I’m the Son of Poseidon? sweet!) Everyone freaks out when they’re sure he’s a son of Poseidon. Percy is told to go see the “Mummy in the attic” “That’s old people talk for Mom, right?” Cue the Oracle.
The Oracle
This sounds so dumb but kinda like… found the Oracle impressive. Spooky. 10/10 Also… side note… Chris plays Percy with a lot of random mannerisms and movement and it’s really quite fun to watch. Anyway the Oracle is big spooky and she’s in a huge dress and she’s pointing to him and it has all the people who are in the next scene sitting there underneath and moving the dress. Big cool. And the vocals! Sis can sing. And it’s just beautiful bc then Percy has to see Mr. D and Chiron, the first of whom wants to turn Percy into a dolphin. “Percy you have no choice.” “You’re expelling me again?” Basically Percy is getting kicked out of camp bc of his unwillingness to do the quest. And there’s the transition to Good Kid my friends.
Good Kid
Guys oh fuck. Oh shit. Chris just really came out here to kill with the vocals tonight. And My heart? He kinda does a fist thing toward what would be the Big House and walks off to sulk, starting the song and walking around being angry ugh. He climbs up the back of the stage (which is essentially scaffolding) and sits at the end to deliver the sad part of the line when everything goes piano-y and soft and essentially that’s him sitting at the docks at the lake and watching the water. Luke later finds him (“If you’re a son of Poseidon, don’t hide at the lake, that’s where everyone will look.” and talks to him about the quest, where they figure out his mom would be in the Underworld if she was anywhere. Also there’s a trident where Percy is the middle prong and the other two are blue and shine on him UGH yeah
Killer Quest
“Yeah I’ll do it!” Was delivered so well, so sweet and innocent. This kid just misses his mom. Also since when did Luke and Percy get a bro handshake? Grover shows up with a bunch of bags and says he’ll go too (Luke’s chilling in the background) and he gives him the official questing backpack. I think Luke leaves at this point to get some shoes. Annabeth is there with a bag telling him that she’s going too and that her mom will be excited and they’re all dancing together and god I’m so emotional. They dance and they all work as a team so well great work you guys. And the lights turn out with them starting their quest!
Lost
Return from intermission with a literal bang, as there are three demon triplet math teachers on the bus, with Percy on top and Grover and Annabeth inside. The driver’s screaming, they’re screaming, Percy hops off the top and then fights the fury outside and eventually… The bus explodes, with confetti raining over the audience. Awesome. The piece of paper is in Annabeth’s bag pocket actually. And Percy’s trying to be a reassuring friend to Grover, who’s freaking out, and he’s trying to keep Annabeth safe too… ugh great stuff. They move all together when they say “We’re lost in the woods” for the first time. Their priorities really become clear later in the song when they talk about what they’re wanting. Grover could not be more enthusiastic about the squirrel. Also this is the first time we see Annabeth laugh at Percy “I think that’s kind of nuts” is the line and she turns around to laugh into her hand. PURE AS HELL. Wandering aimless through the forest occurs for a minute longer until Percy decides. This point in the musical made me realize that these kids are young. Like 11 or 12. I love that. I felt that in this one. The kids go into Auntie M’s art studio. Annabeth’s asked to take a picture and she’s checking her hair in her dagger, meanwhile Percy’s getting a bad feeling now and Grover’s looking more and more intently at Uncle Ferdinand. Percy is then asked to join in. No camera you say? MEDUSA REVEAL. They do a big battle and Grover ends up picking up Percy and swinging him around to cut off Medusa’s head. Which gets thrown in her own fridge for the time being. Grover leaves.
My Grand Plan
Bitch. This was the moment I teared up a lot. She sat down and started singing and I felt. I FELT. I’m depressed as fuck at the moment and I started feeling things bc of this damn song. Kristin Stokes I love you. Anyway, she’s singing and Percy intently watches, and she’s telling the gods to Wise Up by pointing directly to the sky. SHe’s saying BITCH YOU WILL NOTICE ME. And the pain in her voice when she explains her family situation. The soft part? She’s talking directly to Percy and looking at him, telling him what’s going on. Dear god did I feel. I’m so proud of her my queen Annabeth Chase. She finishes explaining and Percy says: “No more fighting” and she says “Not between us anyway” and they shake on it. I love that. Then Percy decides to have a little fun with the gods and boxes up Medusa’s head. “THey’ll think we’re impertinent Percy.” “Oh, we are impertinent.” He writes both Annabeth and his own name on that box and ships it via the Hermes express. Grover comes back in. “While you guys were in here not solving all our problems, I found these!” “Three Amtrack tickets!?”
Drive
We boarding the train. WE singing. Life is dandy again. Percy sticks his hand in a dog cage and it bites him. They take a tractor which is scaffolding tied to a wheelchair which a guy pulls. They meet Bianca and then they meet Ares after arguing with each other. Cool guy. Also Percy looks so free and proud of himself when he’s on the back of the motorcycle “I mean, look at where I am!” He’s so PROUD holy shit. Also they all put one foot forward during the different lines god the Choreography so fucking cute dear lord. Anyway they’re going and going and they meet Bianca who’s got braids and then they move on!!! I love them! I’m proud. They take another bus. “This time we just won’t blow it up.” They’re sitting on the bus (or train not really sure) and all asleep. Percy’s dreaming now. And Annabeth and Grover are also sleeping. Each is on a chair and it’s kind of cute tbh.
The Weirdest Dream (Reprise)
Percy’s standing there in his dream and he’s very confused. This is ‘scary” and I love that. He’s standing and listening to the these people in his dream talking. Kronos is so fucking scary they literally make him scary. His voice is so deep and spooky and fuck man. Luke’s talking to him (downward, into a pit, technically on the top of the scaffolding) and he’s in a cloak and Kronos says Percy’s name and the lights flash all sorts of colors and then he’s back in his seat. Chris does a bunch of spins until he gets back to his seat and Grover’s shaking him awake, saying he was screaming. Annabeth can’t sleep either. Everyone’s on edge. Thalia’s name was mentioned in the dream and Grover sits up straighter and says he hasn’t heard that name in awhile.
Tree on the Hill
Oh shit this was so emotional. So Grover explains that he didn’t tell Percy this any sooner because he was afraid Percy might not want him to come. Big sad. But he starts the song and let me tell you I never felt like crying more. So Grover’s narrating this story and Percy’s listening on the train and above them, like with the main bridge, Annabeth, Luke and Thalia are slow mo acting out the details of the story until Thalia becomes a tree. Thalia is the same girl that plays Clarriese, and every other character almost omg. But when he’s explaining her turning into a tree, Annabeth and Luke stand behind Thalia and become the branches. So symbolic and so beautiful. Percy comforts Grover and then it’s the last stop.
DOA
THis song. At first I didn’t like it on the soundtrack. Skipped it. But goddamn what a bop. The sparkly dress, the funky tunes, the control of all of the kids so they all dance together. Also dying in a really big bathtub. Yeah. Real. The way they did the elevator with the lights moving in the background was actually super convincing and I Loved that. The dress sparkles all over and all the other background people are in cloaks are dancing too, including James who makes this beautiful jump I love it so much. But they’re all scared and cornered against the light and then have to reconvene together. They all get up from the ground frazzled and then Percy’s shoes start doing something weird. His feet start flying away from him and he’s confused and freaking out and all of a sudden they’re in front of the pit. Oh god the pit was so cool. I thought the feet were shaking and it’s so cool and and the pit literally looks like a pit. I know they’re looking into a light but it’s so scary! The shoes go down into the pit and the tartar sauce joke is made. I love this. SO scary. AND BOLT REVEAL. The line that Percy’s says “betrayed by a friend’ that accuses Annabeth after she pulls the bolt from his bag. I gasped. And then Hades comes around and he’s in a sparkly jacket and says he’ll have his friends and his mom back if he gives him the bolt and then gives them a chance to decide. Everyone walks off stage and he stands there and debates.
Son of Poseidon
Percy’s mom comes out and tells him that what belongs to the sea can always return. She does a little loop around him and he spins in a circle and follows her for a moment. He starts singing and GOD CHRIS. He’s realizing that he has the shell and all that. He blows the conch and a blue light shines on the right side of the stage, the PORTAL. They jump through the portal and they’re all excited that they survived. Standing on the beach and Percy pulled new shoes out and starts putting them on. He tells them that they’re his two best friends and he hugs them close and fuck man the original trio feels. They summon Ares. Ares comes out and he’s fucking ripped and got a pipe. A literal pipe. They start fighting and it looks like they’re losing, Annabeth lost her dagger (which was strapped to her thigh goddamn) and Grover’s down, Percy’s lost his sword. “Percy get to the ocean” He runs to the stage, Kristin and Jorrel run backstage and deliver the blowers with TP. “How about a lot of it!”He yelled and theres the music and he’s relishing the moment, Chris is just giving it his fucking all and there’s a lot going on and I just.. Was amazed beautiful. Great work cast. Ares is washed away and then Percy says: “You can escort us, back to camp.” They’re escorted back.
Last Day of Summer
Percy is standing there and he’s stunned essentially. What does he do now? He gets a letter from his mom with her newest sculpture and that she’s going to school. Annabeth passes him and talks to him about going home and she calls him Seaweed Brain. He and Luke battle when he accuses Luke of being the lightning thief. Luke fucking says yes right and then STABS HIM after trying to convince Annabeth to pick the right side (his side) and she disarms him but he takes a knife and stabs Percy. He runs away, Percy’s on the ground, Annabeth’s at his side and holding him. She’s giving him emergency ambrosia as he’s dying and he looks like he’s gone but then he comes back. She says Seaweed Brain and he says Wise girl and hugs him to her and SHIT man.
Bring on the Monsters
Percy motivates the camp. Tells them it’s real, shits getting real and they need to get ready. He’s got his sword and his fresh stab wound and he motivates them to get going, all of them sing and then Chris does his beautiful solo thing and stands in front with his sword and they’re all singing in the background. When he maintains his line on the bottom people are passing back and forth around him and touching his shoulder as they pass him and he yells excitedly back next summer at one point. And they all stand together in the back and the spotlight hits him as he says he’ll be back next summer and the guitar ends. damn.
The curtains come up and they’re all there taking bows and I love them. Main points: these boys flexible, they’re all doing kicks and all sorts of shit like that, jumping up and down and dancing as well as singing, I’m very impressed. also Chris plays Percy so well. He’s got all the things that were in my head for Percy for all the quirks and ADHD and UGH I love that. Kristin rocked my fucking world and Jorrel played every character so cleanly and had such great vocals. I love them. I love them all. The end.
If you made it to the end of this fucking long ass post send me an ask or a message bc I’m proud of you and you deserve a reward

Chapters: 3/3 (chapter 3 just updated) Fandom: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Rating: Explicit Relationships: Alexios/Brasidas Wordcount: 23,681 Additional Tags: Missing scene(s), Alexios has more daddy issues than a subscription to Today’s Parent, light daddy kink, light D/s, age difference, period-typical homophobia, Ancient Greece, undernegotiated kink, aftercare, references to past Brasidas/Thaletas Summary: The first time Alexios sees Brasidas, the world is on fire, a blaze that catches fast and burns for days. In the months and years to come, he'll come to recognize it as a none-too-subtle metaphor for their friendship... and everything else that follows.
“Alexios,” Brasidas said, the confusion in his voice eroding into a warm burr of pleasure. He dropped his hand from his dagger and stepped away from the table, where he’d been studying a map. Of course. Brasidas was general and statesman both; he had bigger things to think about than some misthios he’d fucked once. But his hazel eyes glinted with welcome as he drew closer to Alexios, looking nothing but delighted to see him. “What are you doing here? Was there something wrong with the front door?”
Alexios shrugged and plastered on his most shit-eating smile. “Well, you know what they say. Why use a door when there’s a perfectly good window?”
With a tilt of his head, Brasidas pretended to consider. His expression was appropriately dry. “I don’t think I’ve heard that one. But then again, I’m not as worldly as you, o misthios.” He regarded Alexios a moment, eyes flicking over him to take in his wet hair and freshly scrubbed limbs. “I must confess I did not hope to see you again so soon. Did you win the Olympics already?”
“Very funny.” Despite himself Alexios fought the urge to laugh. He hated and loved Brasidas’s terrible jokes in equal measure, which rivalled the ones Nikolaus used to tell when Alexios was a boy. “Don’t forget the war in Beotia. No, I merely thought it unfair to deprive you of my company one last time before you depart for Arkadia.” 
“Oh, is that all?”
“Éla re, maláka,” Alexios tossed back with a lazy roll of his eyes. He held up the krater and then leaned one arm against the top of the doorframe, cups dangling from his fingers. He stretched out his body to its fullest advantage. No more playing now. Tilting into Brasidas’s personal space, he looked up at him through his eyelashes. “Invite me in, else I will leave and find another to drink this with.”
Brasidas’s laughed boomed; his gaze, however, darkened until his eyes glittered like twin stars. Oh, Alexios had locked away his memories of that gaze somewhere deep. Seeing it again made his breath shudder, and his fingers nearly loosened around the krater’s handle. 
“It seems you’ve already invited yourself in,” said Brasidas. “But please—join me. I am only preparing for tomorrow’s journey.”
Nodding once in thanks, Alexios brushed past him and set the cups and krater on the table. He spotted another near what he assumed was Brasidas’s desk, which was surprisingly—and charmingly—disorganized. Off the battlefield Brasidas was the most un-Spartan Spartan he’d ever met. But a man couldn’t be a soldier all the time. His true self had to out somewhere.
He picked up the second krater, which, sure enough, held water, and used it to dilute the wine. Whether force of habit or preference, and like most Spartans, neither of them drank it neat. A soldier too far in his cups was a risk to himself and everyone around him, no matter how much Alexios craved a bit of liquid courage.
He glanced over his shoulder to find Brasidas leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, watching him silently. The weight of his stare sent another shiver down Alexios’s spine as he poured for them. He turned to hand Brasidas a cup. Their fingers brushed as Brasidas took it. 
“Where are the servants?” Alexios asked.
“Home in their beds, I hope.” Brasidas looked about the study and gestured. “They will keep up the house while I am gone, but tonight I sent them away.”
“Then it is true, what they say. You are unmarried.”
Holding Alexios’s eyes for a moment that seemed to span ages, Brasidas took a drink. Then he said, “I am unmarried.”
Somehow “good” didn’t seem like the appropriate response, however much he thought it, so Alexios just shifted awkwardly and cleared his throat. He attempted to hide by draining half his wine in one gulp.
Ever courteous, Brasidas elected to rescue him, adding smoothly, “And well it is, too, for I prefer my own company before a mission—helps focus me for the task ahead.”
The bottom of Alexios’s stomach dropped out. He swallowed and asked, “Should I not have come?”
“No.” Shaking his head, Brasidas stepped away from the wall and came to stand very near Alexios. He reached out to grip his arm and gave him a significant look, as if trying to convey reassurance and welcome through sheer force of will. “I’m glad you did,” he said, their faces close. “I… regretted not asking you earlier. That was foolish of me.”

01. what’s your name/alias you go by ??
my name is jeff !! lmfao (i don’t let memes die) it’s not my real name but i’ve gone by cody on tumblr for a long time
02. what’s your age ??
twenty. jfc i’m old. but also apparently a fetus??
03. what’s your zodiac sign ??
aries, which couldn’t feel further from correct lmfao
04. what’s your ethnicity ??
uhh mostly italian & sicilian, but you could probably point to any white place in europe and i’ll have a little bit of that in me. i’m also 1/16th native american but it’s such a small amount and sadly i don’t even know which tribe to learn more about them.
05. what’s your nationality ??
‘murican
06. what’s your favorite band and/or musical artist ??
i’m super indecisive about everything, so it’s difficult for me to pick faves (as you’ll see in a sec) but… mac miller,  post malone, johnny cash, eminem, tenacious d, colter wall, kehlani, bruno mars, snoop dogg, elvis presley, justin timberlake, sublime, the rolling stones, etc etc there’s probably a lot i’m forgetting tho. i like most types of music except country. well, modern country anyway.
07. what’s your dream job ??
uh, i don’t have one? i mean yeah, i’d love to be a writer, or game dev, or a narrative director on a game, or direct, write, or act in movies or television, but like…i could live without any of that stuff. i just want to make a decent living, be able to own a house, not completely hate my job. yknow, not a glamorous life but a good one.
08. what’s one place you would love to visit ??
idk there’s a lot of places i’d like to go, but i’d most like to visit alpha centauri, even tho that’ll never happen lol
09. what’s your favorite tv show ??
i can’t pick that! but i love a lot of shows. general hospital, lucifer, the 100, supernatural, stranger things, izombie, south park, legends of tomorrow, once upon a time, arrow (at times), dragon ball, big brother, riverdale, chilling adventures of sabrina, that 70′s show, the ranch, umm… i could probably keep listing forever.
10. what’s your favorite movie ??
hmmmm, again i’ve got a list but… joe dirt, the new guy, why him, the waterboy, 50 first dates, all the spider-man movies, thor ragnarok, man of steel, 21 jump street, 22 jump street ,and a fuckton more lol 
11. what’s your favorite song ??
constantly in flux, but the current faves are — creep by radiohead, stay by post malone, no below by speedy ortiz, unshaken by d’angelo, cruel cruel world by willie nelson, wanksta by 50 cent, shooter by lil wayne & robin thicke, stressed out by 21 pilots, self care by mac miller (along with practically everything on his final album), and i will always, un-ironically love only in america by riff raff. he’s not the greatest ever but that song is hilarious and always puts me in a good mood.
12. what’s your favorite sport ??
can i say rocket league? lol
13. what’s your favorite food ??
pizza, unquestionably. cereal is a damn close second tho. or pot stickers. damn, i’m hungry… 
14. what’s your favorite face claim to use ??
typically, i’ve always really liked using paul wesley, chris wood, and matt daddario. i’m using lindsey morgan for the first time now though, and i really like her as an fc too.
15. what’s your least favorite face claim ??
to use?? um pretty much any singer or model just bc their resources aren’t too great. i really didn’t enjoy using pete davidson as much as i thought i would, either lol
to see… uh probs emma roberts or andy biersack. emma for obvs reasons but also bc i once had a really bad experience with people using those fcs. idm people using whoever they feel like using tho.
16. what’s your favorite character of yours to play ?? which do you think you’re most like ??
oh man, uhh i really enjoy writing chrissy & theo. they both speak to me. but tbh i’m not much like any of my characters? i’m boring af so i tend not to make any like me lol. i am kinda like theo in the sense that i’m quiet, and really just try to be a good person. other than that i’m most like jason solely based on the fact we’re both human lol
17. what’s your sexuality ??
danversexual. attracted only to fictional danvers women, examples including carol, kara, and alex danvers.
lmfao but nah i’m just a boring straight boy. well, like 99.9% straight. jensen ackles makes me question shit.
18. what’s the last movie you saw in a cinema/theater ??
captain marvel (thanks to dani lol). only two months late but it was worth the experience haha.
19. what’s the worst injury you’ve ever had ??
thankfully i’ve never really hurt myself too terribly except for a broken wrist, but between the ages of 10-17 i’d occasionally hurt my back by sitting weird, usually in an attempt to play video games without the glasses i desperately needed lol. once when i was like 11 i laid belly down on the couch with my elbows up on the arm of it for like three hours, which messed me up for days, then a few other times i hurt myself, but another bad one when i was 17, i had my back curved while sitting and propping my laptop up on my knee, tried to move and literally just cried, crawled on the floor, and laid there all night until i forced myself to move in the morning. lol luckily it hasn’t happened since i lost a little weight.
20. what’s a random or interesting fact about you ??
uhm, nothing? i literally can’t think of one, i’m dull af. i uh.. i replaced my own cpu cooler once? lmfao
21. do you listen to music while you write ??
sometimes. a lot of time i just like the silence or ambient background noise, but if i’ve got a fitting playlist for the vibe of what i’m trying to write, i’ll use it!
22. are you a morning, day, evening, or night writer ??
i’m a never writer, apparently v___v but lol ideally a night writer, my best work is between the hours of 12am & 4am, but my sleeping schedule is so inconsistent, and so is my dad’s who spends literally every waking moment of his telling me different stuff he wants done, so it’s tough to hit that sweet spot. i write whenever i get a chance tho.
23. have you ever roleplayed intoxicated ??
lol nah i’ve never even had a drink. like what teenager doesn’t have a drink at some point?? i told you i’m lame.
24. what language or languages do you speak ??
english, barely. and assassin’s creed 2 taught me some italian swears. and ac: odyssey has had me occasionally dropping “malaka” bombs since the day i first played it haha.
25. how long have you roleplayed ??
officially, about 9 years. i started at 11 on myspace, rping dragon ball z stuff. but basically about 12 years, if you count how from the ages of 8-11 i’d put an anime pic up on my myspace, pretend i was older, and talk to roleplayers i didn’t realize were roleplayers lmfao.
26. favorite roleplay genre ??
i like pretty much anything, tbh. as long as it’s well thought out, has an interesting plot, or whatever. sometimes it doesn’t even need that, it just needs to catch my eye or line up with something i’m looking for. but yeah, supernatural, multi-fandom, sci-fi, romance, town rps, high school/college rps, anime rp (well, pokemon mostly), harry potter… i’ve done it all tbh and don’t particularly have a favorite.
27. one sound you hate & one you love ??
the sound of cotton stretching is the absolute worst thing to me. or scratching cotton. idk, it just sends chills up and down my spine and makes my hands feel weak lmfao. i’m weird. i really love the sound of rain, or fire crackling, or like “ambient” harp or ukulele music.
28. do you believe in ghosts ??
short answer, yes. long answer… i’m pretty sure i was friends with a ghost girl as a kid?? like no joke, even looking back at it through rational “adult” eyes, i’m still convinced. my fam moved into a new apartment, and pretty much right after that i started having dreams about a girl my age at the time (11-12). i’d never seen her before but the dreams would be like just conversations, like i was visiting a friend or something. i don’t remember them much, but i do remember the feeling of someone else in my room all the time, like you know how if someone else is around you just know even if you’re not looking at them? like that. there was even one night i was getting in bed, laid there a minute, and then i could have absolutely sworn somebody came in the room and sat down next to me on the bed because i felt the bed sink a little under their weight, but i looked and no one was there. i had a really vivid conversation/dream/thing that night. then a few nights later, for the first time since moving there i didn’t have one. the next morning my dad was really freaked out and said he fell asleep in the chair, but woke up and couldn’t breathe, and felt cold little hands over his mouth. he rationalized it as just waking up from a nightmare but i didn’t think so, so that night when i went to sleep and saw her i got really upset, yelled at her for it, and woke up right after. then i never saw or heard anything even remotely similar again, like she left or disappeared or something. it’s so weird, and i know how crazy it sounds, but yeah. don’t get me started on the topic of ghosts lmfao. THEN AGAIN, like a year later we had a carbon monoxide scare, but i really doubt the two were related because that would mean there was an entire year that we were breathing it in and the monitor didn’t do anything lol
29. do you believe in aliens ??
no alien story, thankfully, but it just makes no sense not to believe in them to me. like, we probably don’t have them on earth, and we’ve probably never encountered any, but it’s as close as you can get to a mathematical certainty that there’s some other life out there in the universe.
30. do you believe in true love ??
like, people who are just meant for each other, like romantic soulmates? nah not really. but i believe that two people can grow to truly love one another. whether it’s based off an initial attraction/infatuation, or a friendship, or both. i’d actually argue that’s a simple explanation of the biological science behind the feeling of love, but that’s an essay i’m not gonna write lol. but there’s apparently a lot of different types of love, so i guess “true love” is suggestive? 
also slightly unrelated but i don’t-quite-believe-in-but-am-open-to-the-idea-of soulmates, not necessarily as two souls who are just meant for each other romantically and always end up together, but more as two or more souls that gravitate toward each other to make up the important people in each other’s lives, like family members, lovers, or close friends. but that’s more of a theoretical idea/possibility than an actual belief of mine.
31. do you hold grudges ??
um, yes. lol i try not to, and i really do want everyone to be their best/happiest selves, but some people man… some people can take a long walk off a short pier lmao
32. do you have any obsessions right now ??
PO KE MON GOTTA CATCH EM ALLLLL. also… life is strange (thanks dani lol). supernatural. stranger things (thanks dani & steph) the 100 / clexa / becho  (thanks steph). lucifer. captain marvel (thanks dani). the song “creep” by radiohead and all its covers (tom ellis, haley reinhart, etc). cyberpunk 2077 (thanks dani). as you can see, i’m easily influenced lmfao.
33. do you drive & if so, have you ever been in a crash ??
nope i don’t drive, precisely because i’d definitely end up in a crash lol
34. do you like the smell of gasoline ??
uh that’s a big fat no from me, chief
35. do you prefer writing fluff, angst, or smut ??
i like it all equally, i think. i just really like writing & rp in general. i did run a smut rp once in the past tho. it gets old quick tbh and is the one of the three i can live without lol
36. are you in a relationship ??
bahahahahahahaha no.
37. grab the nearest book to you and turn to page 23, what is the 17the line ??
❝  “and why would that be?” kronos’s golden eyes glittered.  ❞

IG stories from Tuesday! It was a ROUGH day. Our school is dealing with a principal transition, and the new principal came into my classroom for a bit and had to almost immediately get on my kids because they would not stop talking while I was trying to give directions. Great first impression, right? However, she told me she “does not tolerate children disrespecting their teachers” so at least she was putting the blame where it belongs? Still. 😳 I was also just plain old cranky all day. I didn’t do my meditation until I was home from work, because when my alarm went off at 5:15am I was just SO tired I couldn’t get myself to sit up in bed and start my day, and I think that may have played a factor in my emotional state. I’ll need more than 10 days to figure that out for sure, but it was the only thing I did differently since we came back from Winter Break.
On a good note, I started listening to The Odyssey, which I didn’t realize until it started is narrated by Sir Ian McKellen! I’m happy to listen to Gandalf tell me the tale of Odysseus while I get ready for work in the morning! ❤ (Pics via my IG stories.)
