So I read the first book in the Percy Jackson series ‘The Lightning Thief’ a few months ago, and then I realised there was a musical after randomly coming across ‘The Campfire Song’ in a Greek Mythology song playlist on yt. So I finally listened to 'The Lightning Thief' musical! Yay! And now I have way too much in my head, and now I’m shoving it all onto the internet! Be warned, this isn’t really ordered or even coherent :)
I'm too used to Hamilton and Epic lol, I kept getting surprised when there were time skips between songs. Only 19 songs instead of 40? Skipping or compacting battle scenes? Actual spoken lines most of the time? Wow.
I really like 'Prologue/The Day I Got Expelled', 'Another Terrible Day', Percy's part in 'Their Sign', 'Put You In Your Place', 'The Campfire Song', 'Good Kid', 'Lost!', 'Drive,' 'The Tree on the Hill', 'The Last Day of Summer', 'Bring on the Monsters'. So most of them lol.
Tho my favs 5 are probs 'Prologue/The Day I Got Expelled', 'The Campfire Song', 'Good Kid', 'The Tree on the Hill', 'The Last Day of Summer'.
I love Percy. He's so sassy bitter exasperated done with all this shit XD. I almost like him better than in the book lol.
Also Luke. I actually sympathised with him a lot. Probably because the resigned bitterness all the half-bloods feel about their parents is emphasised a lot more in the songs, at least to me.
Kinda a play by play of my reactions?:
L: The gods are real. Like the Greek gods.
A: Like the ones you learned about but weren't paying attention to.
L, A: Well, they don't pay attention to you, either.
All: Especially if you're their kid.
[… that’s rough buddy]
All: *bitterly carefree* Yeah, the gods are real. And they have kids. And those kids have ISSUES!
[mood]
P: Look! … I didn't wanna be a half-blood.
[Yesss! It’s actually happening omg. Also his VA is amazing]
P: And, honestly, I'd be totally be fine if I could make it to the next grade!
[someone give this kid a hug plz]
P: It wasn't dirty socks or my stepdad. It was danger that I smelled.
[pffft he really just did Gabe like that lmao]
P: *sarcastic* Maybe you don't know what a half-blood is because your life is normal and happy and not constantly in danger-
P: That's when this story should probably start. We were geeking out on ancient Greek at the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art.
[honestly just impressed they managed to make this long ass title rhyme and fit the beat]
Ch: Anyone? Any student?
[lol, yeah no kid wants to bring attention to themselves like that]
P: My best friend was acting strange, at which he so excelled.
[damn Percy’s kinda savage]
P: Grover, you're a good friend.
G: Awww… *amused pity* Dude. I'm your only friend.
[bro Grover is even more savage!]
All: The day it all went down!
P: I saw something odd in Mrs Dodds’ frown.
All: The day it all got weird.
P: The day I got expelled!
[the sudden switch to just saying ‘yeah shit got weird’ is hilarious]
MD: I have heard much about you, Percy Jackson.
P: *vaguely impressed, dry* Really? That's very dedicated for a substitute.
[lmao]
MD: Kicked out of five schools in six years. One might question your parentage.
P: *mutter, protective* Hey, don't talk about my mom-
MD: *smug* And your father? That's right… You don't know who he is! *starts laughing maniacally*
P: *defensive, wary, demand* What's this about anyway?
[I just love his vocal delivery on those lines. He’s a total mama’s boy, for good reason, Sally’s awesome. But also, yeah, I’d be freaked out too if my teacher isolated my from the group and then started talking this shit]
P: *tentative, freaked out* Um… I didn't know what just had happened. Was that all a creepy, crazy dream? *incredulous, questioning his own sanity* My teacher was a creature, then she vanished in the ether with a demon scream.
P: The day I got- Expelled?!
[oof.]
P: *bitter, hurt, resigned* You think I’m trouble, just like everyone else.
[oof the way his voice is just so resigned, like he’s used to this, which he is. And Chiron, you’re not helping. God, this kid needs competent adults in his life]
S: He warned me that things might be hard if… you were like him.​
P: *sarcastic, harsh, bitter* Was he a screw up too? *tired, shame, resigned* Sorry, mom. If I was only- normal.​
[no Percy that’s not what she means! Don’t call yourself a screw-up :( ]
P: *vacant, pleasant* This is weird. *bland* Oh look, a strange man in a Hawaiian shirt.
Poseidon: *in THE goofiest voice ever* "What belongs to the sea can always return to the sea." It's a seashell.
P: *mild, moving on* … Like I said. Weird.
[HAHAHA]
D: *sarcastic, grimace* Oh, you're alive. I suppose that's good news for you, but it means a lot more paperwork for me. So don't expect me to be happy to see you.
D: *grumble, pissed, sarcastic* Great! You haven't been debriefed. This is way out of my pay grade. Which is saying a lot, 'cause I don't get paid!
[average teacher’s salary smh]
D: *snarl, irritable* Someone find Professor Hay-For-Breath and tell him Peter Johnson is awake, so he better clip-clop over here!
P: *unimpressed* It's Percy Jackson.
D: *can’t care in the least, snaps* Whatever!
D: *throws up hands, done* Does no one watch the orientation film?
D: To tell you the truth? The best thing is to *aggressive table banging* BREAK UP WITH THE GUY!
[I am cackling rn]
D: *loudly and musically complaining about how much his job sucks*
P: *in complete confusion* Mr. Brunner! You’re a horse?! WHAT IS HAPPENING??
P: *bitter, pissed* My mom raised me all on her lonesome. When I would reach out, no one else would be there! *incensed* Well I want my birthday cards and fishing trips! Child support and homework tips!
[Poseidon! Pay 👏 your 👏 child support 👏]
P: *gritted teeth, holding back tears* So- So who is he?
[SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG RIGHT NOW-]
L: *dry, bitter jazz hands* Welcome to the dysfunctional family.
[I know Luke’s technically the bad guy, but let’s be real. He’s cool]
C: You're gonna drown, you ain't gonna float!
|
C: Don't mean to boast, don’t mean to brag!
[I adore those high notes on ‘drown’ and ‘don’t’. Actually. Just- all of Clarisse and Annabeth’s high notes and slides are incredible]
[yo, 'Put You In Your Place' kinda sounds like 'Do What you Gotta Do' from Descendants 3. And I love that.]
A: *bright* Go to the boys bathroom!
P: *raised eyebrow* And…?
A: *questioning Percy’s intelligence* Stay there? *the ‘duh’ is implied* It’s your first day. We don’t want you messing this up.
P: *rocks on his heels, mild* Okay. Just stay here. Just stay in the bathroom, and stay out of-
C: *teleports behind him, smug sneer* Trouble? Ha!
C: Maybe the minotaur died from a case of laughing too hard from seeing your stupid face!
[that burn tho]
L: *wry* Offering to the gods. *rolls eyes, sardonic* It's not enough that they're omnipotent and all-powerful, they need to feel appreciated. *raises glass, dry* To the gods.
All: *lacklustre, cynical* To the gods!
P: *curious, cheery* Chiron! Who’s your dad?
Ch: *delicate* Oh! Well. My father is Kronos. *pause* Remember my lecture. He ate his children.
*awkward silence*
L: *winces* … Chiron wins.
*unanimous agreement*
P: Oh, no no no! If I try to sing, it’ll probably cause an avalanche.
[haha get it? ‘Cause Poseidon’s the Earthshaker? Anyone?]
P: *soft* My mum was named Sally. She loved scary movies.
[was. WAS. I’m crying]
P: Did he not want me? Or not want the stress? Too bad he's the worst, and my life is a mess! Oh no… *grins sharply, starts getting into it* I hope he shows even a trace, ‘CAUSE I’VE GOT SOME CHOICE WORDS to throw in his face!
All: *cheer*
[hell yes! Tell him Percy!]
P: *frustrated, bitter* I try, I try to be a good kid! A good kid! *tired, resigned* A good son.
[noooo 😭]
P: *pleading, defensive* I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid! (Scoff) *dismissive, resigned* Yeah, Percy, that's a good one.
[Nooo Percy! You are a good kid!! Stop talking down on yourself like this-]
P: *furious, bitter* And no friends! And no hope! And no mom- *broken* She's taken away.
[whyyyyy]
P: Yeah, I'll do it. Not 'cause my dad needs me - he's been less a dad and more absentee.
[preach Percy!]
P: *triumphant* We're gonna march straight down to the gates of hell!
L: *interjects, nerd emoji* Underworld.
P: *waves off* Close enough.
P: *serious wtf energy* Guys. We just exploded a bus.
A: *casual* Yep.
P: *nah yall don’t get it* That was being attacked by demon triplet math teachers!
A: *unconcerned* Oh yeah.
P: *disbelief, dead eyed* Is the whole trip going to be like this??
G: *vacant, panicking* All our food was in there. All our clothes were in there. All our food was in there!
A: *umm…* Take that bus to Los Angeles.
P: *deadpan* We're not on the bus.
A: *rolls eyes* I know.
G: *blank* To Los Angeles.
P: *sarcastic, incredulous* We blew up the bus.
A: *exasperated* I know!
G: *having a minor breakdown* To Los Angeles.
P: So what are we supposed to do??
A: *shrugs* Wait for another bus?
P: *throws up hands* What if we blow up that one too?!
G: *anxious* It’s not safe to stay out here in the open, when Monsters are trying to eat us alive!
P: *sardonic, exasperated* How do they know where we are, when we don’t even know?
P: *sarcastic* Fantastic, gang. Well, I don’t wanna die in the Garden State!
[Grover talking to the squirrel like Aang talking to Momo is killing me.]
Squirrel: *helpfully* You’re all screwed.
G: *brightly* Thanks, buddy!
S: *cheery* Welcome!
*ominous thunder*
P: *strained* I think the gods are trying to tell me they hate me!
A: *dry* I’m getting that too.
P: *quiet, tense* Hungry monsters on the ground.
A: *soft, scared* Angry gods are in the sky.
G: *despairing* No safe places to be found.
P, A, G: *helpless* Wanna run. Wanna cry.
P: *exhausted, grieving* Can't go back to any home.
A: *anxious* Camp is way too far away.
G: *hopeless* Can't protect my only friends.
P, A, G: No place to go. No place to stay!
[no bbys it’s gonna be ok! Just wait a few more, uhhh, books?]
P, A, G: We're lost in the world, and the world is freaking awful!
[truths]
P, A, G: *wild eyed* Who put the fate of the world in the hands of three unprepared scared half-bloods? It's crazy!
[^ this. Someone get an actual responsible adult on the phone]
A: *fierce, stubborn* But I promise you, I'll never be invisible again! Someone will notice! *quiet, longing* … Me.
[come on. Get these kids someone who loves them already!]
[Grover just being the best optimistic hype man in ‘Drive’]
G: *warm* ‘Cause people are counting on us, and I'm counting on you!
[awww]
P: If you hadn't bought all those dam snacks–
G: Uh, it was the Hoover Dam, and I was hungry!
[that dam joke lmfao]
A: *gives him a Look, once again questioning his intelligence* You're joking, right? In The Odyssey, if you went to sleep in a lotus bed, one night could last one hundred years!
P: *waves Annabeth off* I'm sure that's irrelevant. Um, excuse me miss, how long have you been at this hotel?
B: *cheery* Why, my brother and I arrived just yesterday: May 1st… 1939!
P: *pasted on smile* Uh, we can sleep on the road.
P: *bright* Oh look, a bus to Los Angeles!
A: *sceptical* Are you sure that's a good idea?
P: *reasonable* This one we just won't blow up!
G: Ha!
G: Ask Annabeth, she knows.
[Grover proceeds to tell the whole story himself]
P: *thrown* But- I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods.​
G: *ominous, tired* You are now.
G: *grieving, raging* And maybe if I’d been a little bit braver! Maybe if I’d stayed behind to fight! But ‘maybe’ doesn't let me go back and save her… ‘Maybe’ doesn't make it alright.
|
G: *quiet* And it’s there reminding me of all I failed to be…
[crying]
[y’know, Charon being voiced by a woman kinda reminds me of Hades in ‘Ulysses Dies at Dawn’]
Charon: Who has two turntables and three sick heads? Everybody give it up for D.J. Cerberus!
[omg this is so funny for some reason]
Charon: *to Percy* You ain't ever gonna save what matters! *to Grover* You ain't gonna protect your friends! *to Annabeth* You ain't ever gonna be remembered!
[The callbacks are so good!!]
P: *resigned* Seems my good intentions, always crash and burn. *helplessly frustrated* Everything I try to do will fail! Never once will I prevail! Going wrong at every turn…
[the way it’s set to the melody in ‘Good Kid’ is heartbreaking]
Hades: *throws up hands* Oh, come on!
[lol]
P: So this could be the end, but I ain't sad. 'Cause you're the two best friends this screw-up ever had.
[happy crying because he has friends, and sad crying because he’s still calling himself a screw-up]
Ares: I’ll put you in your place!
[like daughter, like father]
P: *firm, eyes blazing* I'm the Son of Poseidon. I never asked to be. But I'm the son of Poseidon! Now face the tide inside me!
[screaming yes Percy kick his ass!!]
P: *quiet* Stay or go. Pick one.
[I just love how he sings that sm]
D: *growl, done with life* Attention, campers. It's the last day of summer. If you intend to make me miserable year-round, please inform us by sundown. Otherwise, the cleaning harpies will eat anyone who remains! Perry Johanssen, this means you.
P: *rolls eyes* It's Percy. Jackson.
D: *snap* Whatever!
A: *bitter, casual* My dad couldn't deal with the monster attacks, and my stepmom couldn't deal with me.
[nooo someone give her a hug]
[the way the music becomes discordant and not quite right, with minor chords and dark piano when Luke pulls Percy aside is such cool foreshadowing]
L: *bitter, dark, disillusioned* My quest was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. I came back changed. But the rest of camp was exactly the same.
P: *numb realisation* … You’re the Lightning thief.
L: *simple, apologetic* The Oracle warned you. "Betrayed by a friend."
P: *horrified, disbelief, hoarse* … You set me up. *furious, disgust* You were trying to free Kronos! WHY?
L: *strained, earnest* He promised me the power to defeat our parents!
P: *furious, disbelief, bared teeth* Yeah? He's using you! To get back at the gods!
L: *honestly can’t care anymore, running on anxiety and spite* Good.
L: *empty, helplessly raging, hopeless* I’ve been here since I was a kid! I did everything they ever asked, yeah I did. And for what?
[bro why does everyone in this thing need a hug? They’re all just traumatised kids whyyyy]
L: *quiet, desperate, resolved* So I’ll do anything. I don’t care if I hurt anyone.
[the way you can hear in his voice how much he does care, because that’s exactly why he’s doing all this. AHHH-]
L: *bitter, broken, ragged* It doesn't pay to be a good kid. A good kid. A good son.
[screaming, crying, throwing up]
G: *longsuffering* Are we ever gonna once have it easy?
P: *bright* Nope!
P: Don't feel bad 'cause we're usually about to die :D
[ah yes, gallows humour]
S: They’re breaking your heart? Then try to hear it pound!
[I love her VA. She’s beautiful]
C: They'll put us in a box, but we won't be contained!
[yess Clarisse!]
P: 'Cause the sea doesn't like to be restrained!
[he said the thing!]
All: I'll make mistakes, but my own, and it frees me!
[for some reason, I just really love this line]
[that whole last part where they’re all overlapping is godly]
Damn that got long, but uh. That’s... probably all for now. So. Yeah.

If I can request, I would like to ask if you could write a aidan or five where their girlfriend has schizophrenia and she has episodes where the voices get out of hand and they hurts her by giving her a very bad headache and she crumbled down on the floor with her back against the wall and she rocks back and forth trying to make the voices stop, and how she tries to make them to stop is by screaming out “stop” “go away” “leave me alone” “shut up” “no” and when the episode stop it’s like she’s emotionless because it takes a lot 9f her and Aidan or five has to help her with everything since it’s like her mind and body has shut down. If you think you can’t do it can you do one where Aidan finds his best friend and crush writing a poem and when he tries to see what it’s about she hides it but one day she left her poem notebook at his house and he looks through it to find most of the poems are about him and he plan out how he’s going to ask her out and he uses lines from her poems that’s he thinks fits her but he put them in a song and he plays it for her in his way to asl her out
ahhh omg, i loved the second idea, so i'll do that! unfortunately, i don't feel that confident or comfortable making the first one because i have so little knowledge on schizophrenia and i just don't feel comfortable writing about it at all, so i do hope you enjoy this one! dear lord, i'm not entirely sure on this, but hopefully you like it-
Tumblr media
Beautiful Poet | A. Gallagher
pairings: aidan gallagher x fem!reader
synopsis: you are aidan's best friend whom he likes a lot. you happen to love him and express your feelings through secret poems you write which you left at his house. he read them and decides to use some lines to write a song to ask you out.
notes: this is not any school au whatsoever! just aidan as an actor, singer, un ambassador and youtuber. and some poems here are from the internet, some from his songs, some by me! the song used here is dandelions by ruth b., i thought it really fit i didn't feel lile using aidan's songs, it felt weird for some reason.
disclaimer: aidan is above 18 in all my fics unless stated otherwise!
Tumblr media
You had created a bunch of poems, rhyming or not. Most of them made for your best friend and crush. Like this one,
That glint in your eyes—
Is my beautiful star.
You look of sunshine,
On a blue day.
(latte's poem)
Or like this one,
I don't think you will ever fully comprehend,
How you've made all my dreams come true,
Or how you've opened my heart,
To the love and wonders it can do.
(internet)
or this one too,
A beautiful rose for you,
A love so true,
That i feel, when looking at you.
(latte's poem)
and another.
Something about your smile that just freaks me out
Can't help but feel that my heart will give out
Beating heart in my chest, it's gettin' louder
(4th of july, a.g)
again, another poem.
Fireworks in the sky,
Shining in those eyes,
Beautifully green,
As I've always seen.
(latte's poem, inspired by 4th of july and blue neon)
as usual, another one.
In a field of dandelions,
I wish on each one,
I wish for you to be mine, forevermore.
(dandelions inspired poem)
lastly, the one you wrote today in your notebook, they day you leave said notebook in aidan's house.
I've heard that love comes once in life,
I'm quite sure that you are that sweet love,
Cause breathing gets harder with you,
My dear Aidan, what I say is true.
(dandelions inspired poem)
Just to name a few of the poems you've made. There are more, obviously, but these were what caught Aidan's eyes. He saw the many hearts you drew below each page with a "For Aidan" with them as well.
He saw how you loved him as much as he did you. He loved you so much he decided to use your poems as a way to confess his long lasting love for you. Days turned to weeks, which turned into months. After a good one to two months, he had finished everything and had a concert planned.
Being the good friend and crush he was to you, he gave you a ticket himself instead of having you buy it. “Awe, thanks Aidan, you didn't need to do that.” you smiled, taking the ticket.
“No worries on it. You will be there, right?”
“I wouldn't miss it for the world.”
The day of the concert, he sang his songs, leaving that one song he wrote for you, for last. An hour or so passed and now it was time for that song. “Hello everyone! This song is dedicated to a special someone of mine!”
He began to sang the song, until the words sounded familiar. Those were the words on your poems. It hit you. He's read your poems.
“I'm in a field of dandelions. Wishing on every one that you'll be mine, mine” he sang out the last part.
The song ended and he started to speak. “[Name]! I love you! Could- could someone please bring her here? Thank you!” You found yourself being brought by concert people on the stage, people cheering here and there.
“[Name], i love you so much. For a long time now. You're my best friend and i don't wanna lose you, but I'm taking the risk. Will you be my girlfriend, [Name]!” he shouts into the mic, his voice echoing around the place.
You stare at him. “I...Aidan..yes! Yes, oh my god! Aidan what? I-” he comes close to you, and puts the mic down. He whispers, “Can i kiss you?”
You nod vigorously, and he does. He kisses you, with gentle loving passion as the crowd whoops and cheers. “My beautiful poet. I love you. And i loved your poems for me. I hope you don't mind that i used them for the song though.”
Laughing out with tears in your eyes, you shooke your head, showing that you didn't mind. “Thank you for those beautiful poems, [Name].”

I really loved the last chapter of "Where are you, Raven?"! It was really interesting to see how Arella and Raven's relationship degrades, and the inevitable tragedy.
I have some questions about Trigon, if that's okay. The part where Raven sees into Trigon's head was really interesting. Do you see him as being born kind of *not* evil? Like clearly he was killing people even as a baby but more out of ignorance than anything. Your interpretation is that he kills his mom by accident, right?
In my opinion, Trigon is more maliciously evil, even as a baby. He was born from evil, after all. He's like a cosmic force with no rhyme or reason behind him, just with an overwhelming urge to destroy.
When Arella died, it was interesting to see him comfort Raven. It was a little surprising to me, as I'd have thought that he would've just completely brushed off Raven's distress. He sees Raven's attachment to her mother as a weakness, and he's probably glad she's dead. In general, he showed Arella a lot of leeway in your fic. He's never been normal about a woman ever in canon, but he treated Arella pretty decently, even with her being locked up. I'd love to hear a sort of directors commentary on the fic!
Again, I love the fic. These were just some thoughts I had while reading.
omg tysm for the comment and questions anon!
So WRT Trigon. I know that he was intended to be like the personification of evil from birth. But trying to think about it logically did not work for me. I just fundamentally do not like the idea that anyone is evil as a baby or from birth. If i was going to have him be a fundamentally evil force of the universe, I would probably not have him be born as a child, he would just be kind of always there. Just. Someone being evil from birth does not work for me, even if it was authorial intent.
He also IIRC was born from the people on Azarath purging their "evil natures" which I imagine to be evil in a human way, rather than a cosmic way.
WRT the arella stuff. In my mind Arella, now that Raven is born, only has value in relation to Raven because Raven is the only person Trigon regards as a person. He was OK with her being alive as long as Raven was happy, and he can tell Raven has a very strong connection to Arella that he does not want to risk severing because he doesn't want to risk Raven not being loyal, but we did get some hints that he was not very happy with Raven's relationship with Arella towards the end as he is always feeling resentful and jealous of it.
In my head he wasn't trying to comfort her because of the "She was going to die anyway, she's only mortal" thing - we are not mortal, we are better. but I wanted it to be able to be read both ways b/c HE would want plausible deniability, since we do see Trigon can be charming and manipulative when he wants to (tahts part of how he initially comes on to Arella, he is kind to her and in human form and she thinks they're in love and then he reveals he is a demon and abuses and laughs at her). So I think Trigon is CAPABLE of acting in a way that is socially acceptable, he just CHOOSES not to.
which actually segues back to my initial interpretation of Trigon's childhood. In addition to me just fundamentally not liking "Inherently evil from birth" I feel like Trigon is simultaneously a cosmic evil, but also very much some guy... just the evilest, most petty guy you know. Like this trigon meta by @raven-harlot (link) has this line i Like for him which is
Imagine your shitty dad (or a friend’s if you don’t have your own) if he was also a genocidal maniac and you’re already well on the right track.
which like. because a lot of Trigon's evil is over the top and mundane at the same time. He enslaves and blows up whole worlds but also kills a little girl for saying he's a monster, the latter of which seem a lot more petty human evil than cosmic evil which I would imagine as not caring at all that a human thinks its ugly. Even though Trigon does not view human beings as in any way equal to him, he still clearly possesses a desire to control them and cares about what they say.
edit: oh also do want to say that trigon has vested interest in not upsetting Raven too much (... more than he already does) for reasons we will see next chapter!!!

Reading The Dark Prophecy: Chapter 40 (SPOILERS)
"Shakespeare, don't bring that / Iambic pentameter" Either the Dodona screaming arrow starts spouting poetry or Meg does. Is the ultimate goal of this series to teach kids poetry?
"'A little warning, perhaps?' Jamie called." Yeah, the greatest danger a person falling out of a window poses is to the people below they may crush. How high up is it, anyway?
"We didn't see him." Oh, so he did fall into the void. Wtf?
"He Lityerses-ly flew out the window." Leo, you pull a muscle from that stretch? A for effort, though. I'll cut him some slack for the hostage situation he was just in.
"The two bumped fists as if they hadn't just spent the last few days talking about how much they wanted to kill each other. They would have made fine Olympian gods." Omg that's literally my family! We'd make great Olympian gods!
"[Thalia's] new gray highlights from my solar blast looked quite fetching." Did anyone else get gray highlights? Do Hunters' hair grow out? And again, skin cancer?
"We're going to need a bigger notepad." Why? Is iambic pentameter usually long?
"must the Lester go;" I'm fucking sorry? That caught me so off guard. I didn't expect his name to be so bluntly stated in the prophecy.
"Apollo starts to jive." Does jive mean something different here than I'm used to? I thought it meant to be on the same page as someone. JIVE (v.): 1. perform the jive or a similar dance to popular music 2. (Informal, US) taunt or sneer at 3. (Informal, US) talk nonsense
"But a full Shakespearean sonnet, complete with ABAB rhyme scheme, ending couplet, and iambic pentameter?" Oh, the horror! Not the couplets! These prophecies and chapterly haikus are slowly convincing me this whole series was an excuse for Rick Riordan to stretch his poetry-writing muscles.
"We will parse our doom later" PARSE (v.): analyze (a sentence) into its parts and describe their syntactic roles / examine or analyze minutely
"It kept me from thinking too much about the lines of the Dark Prophecy." Ay, he said the thing!
"I redesigned him so he's like a Lego kit, built for quick assembly!" Thank-freaking-goodness! He knows Festus is gonna get crunched, so he plans ahead!
"dissolving them into light. Could a quasi-deity such as Commodus do something like that to himself?" We haven't seen much of any of the Triumvirate's godly powers yet. This could be one. I'd be surprised if he died so easily. Anyway, important thing is that the triple-threat battle is still possible!
Hey, wait, why aren't Hades, Persephone, or Thanatos on the Triumvirate's case yet? They're escaped souls! I know we've established that souls escape all the time, but this should be pretty high on the ghost-wrangling list!
"Their bodies desiccate when their spirits pass on" DESICCATE (v.): remove the moisture from (something); cause to become completely dry "Heloise's body crumbled to dust." Okay, so it was just holding together for the funeral. Maybe that means she'll regenerate eventually? Let me cling onto that hope.
"Made this for you. You can take it with you when you go away." Noooo I just know they're gonna pull at our heartstrings with this little doll later down the line.
"if you ever want to talk--" "No, I'm good." Mood.
"Yet I could no longer feel annoyed with her for giving up my gift of divinity." Yeahhhhhh he's understanding
"hide his bald pate." Probably means head or scalp. PATE (n.): a person's head
"What of the Dark Prophecy?" Did everyone just unanimously agree to call it the Dark Prophecy? Do they all just hate it because it's too long?

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I am blanking on names rn cause I just woke up, but I want to come ask about the new salad blorbo! U know the one, we talked in game about em!
Where'd they start in life? Any specific trajectory planned that they veered off of? What's their favourite way to relax? What's they're least favorite kind of person? Are they someone who gets a good first impression from Marwyd or a bad one? Do they like relaxing or hate it? How big is your brain to keep coming up with characters I need to know more about?
@mystery-salad (I hope your cat is inside and safe 💜)
omg. thank you for remembering about him. i could certainly use a pick-me-up after what just happened. so i really appreciate it... something to keep my distracted is really nice. he is inside and safe!
his name is quinntyn! he's my ranger. so. i'll let the deets slip about the concept because i DID get him to 80 last night. (now i just gotta get him untamed...)
Tumblr media
(temp outfit for now. maybe.... i wish i had more sylvari cultural armor lol... the good ones are expensive!!!)
so he starts out pretty as per the in-game story. however, the big thing is for him-- is that essentially he's from another timeline. in that timeline, he's the commander. he's INCREDIBLY idyllic when it comes to the role. he's calculated, logistic, dignified, and has everything down to numbers. he used to be a warden but essentially dropped it to be the commander.
think of him as marwyd's near polar opposite.
HOWEVER.
essentially, in his timeline??? he failed. miserably. as a last ditch effort they sent him through the fractals of the mists to try to find a way to get help for their timeline, sorta stealing the whole idea from the aetherblades.
it's far too late now. his timeline is NOTHING anymore essentially. it got overtaken. he's now stranded in marwyd's timeline with no home to go back to.
now he HAS to help this timeline or else it'll happen again, but he can't command because that's not his place. it's marwyd's place.
here's the kicker; he's EVERYTHING marwyd thinks he should be, and has nearly everything marwyd ever wanted. so he HATES him so so so so much for it. equally, quintynn thinks marwyd is INCREDIBLY incompetent and should step down from the role and let it be handed to him.
so there's this sense of 'quinntyn is perfect but if he's so perfect, how the hell did he fail???' and on the otherside it's; 'marwyd is so damn incompetent, how the hell did he manage to get this far? farther than me???'
THERE'S A BASIC GIST! now as for your questions, i think i vaguely answered the first, but if not feel free to ask about it more;
Any specific trajectory planned that they veered off of?
i think the place that he REALLY took a turn is that most of the time, quintynn comes off as incredibly emotionally distant. i think in his timeline he did this to about everyone. there was no sense of bond, and i don't think he even really bonded with aurene to the extent marwyd did. i also think he's honestly more of a coward than marwyd, and left fights to other people that numbers deemed were more likely to succeed than him, but yaknow how it is with the commander and odds.
What's their favourite way to relax?
i think he honestly likes paperwork. he likes sitting at a desk and making sure all the numbers line up, that there isn't a single margin of error. equations and statistics practically call to him, and because they're so patterned and precise with how they're done, it's a sense of comfort.
What's they're least favorite kind of person?
MARWYD. whatever the FUCK is going on with marwyd. he wings everything. he charges in head first without even giving it a second though. there isn't any rhyme or reason to his actions. loud. boisterous. mismanaged. ABSOLUTELY dysfunctional but continues to make it work by smashing a square peg through a round hole REPEATEDLY. he doesn't get him. he doesn't get how this place is even still WORKING BUT IT IS??? WHY????
Are they someone who gets a good first impression from Marwyd or a bad one?
BAD. if everything else i said wasn't apparently LOL. this dude is SMOKING WEED ON THE JOB. he's got some RANDOM CHARR WOMAN as his ONLY SECURITY. everyone there treats him like some sort of guy they just KNOW when he's something far different. what the FUCK is this guy. i hate him!!!!
Do they like relaxing or hate it?
they adore it since it gives them time to organize, collect his thoughts, and maybe take a stroll to enjoy nature. he's still really close with all of his roots, especially the tree and the grove in general, so the more opportunities to feel close to nature, the better! it's something that's practically ritualistic at this point, and if not given the time to have a walk or stroll in the forest he tends to get even more rigid than he already is.
How big is your brain to keep coming up with characters I need to know more about?
I DONT KNOW!!!! this is just a guy i use combining my fav tropes of 'man out of time' and 'guy who the protagonist sees as perfect but in reality has Really Fucked Up'!!! i think they're KINDA cliche but im a sucker for these. i REALLY REALLY AM.
thank u for remembering him... i was wondering when i would have ample opportunity to talk about him but didnt know when to wedge it in. i guess this is a start!!!

Okay, here we go, omg. Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious and questions 2, 4, 5, and 8? Happy ruin week, btw! :)
snakjsjdjd coming for my throat i see!!
ok SO
2) how does this song make me feel?
hhhhhh wonka-esque, that’s how. which is to say, like i’ve drunk fizzy lifting drink lmao. the first time i listened to this song i grinned so hard my cheeks hurt after, and i had to hide in a pillow even though i was alone in my room. it’s so deeply relatable, which i think is probably true for most of us dearhearts/tadpoles/what have you, and it always makes me want to text my best friends back home and see how they’re doing
4) what’s my favorite lyrical part of the song?
oooh that’s a tough one?? joey batey owes me personal compensation for rhyming “fridge’ll” with “vigils” of course, and for the way he slurs his words just a little in the first verse on “my heart is tearing pages” (it’s so smooth!! how does he make it so smooth???) but i think my favorite thing is the contrast of the last verse with the first, how madeleine goes from alone in the car to sharing her headphones with joey. and the way he only chimes in with the harmony on the beginnings of the lines, like they still like being on their own sometimes but they’re alone together now.
5) what’s my favorite instrumental part of the song?
maybe this is a cop out but i love love love the little mini jam session at the beginning of the track. joey’s guitar reminds me of a song by a folk artist my dad loves, who i always heard growing up (guitar shopping by david wilcox) so it’s a very homey and nostalgic feeling to listen to that for me.
8) do i visualize any colors, images, or scenes while listening to the song?
this song has a whole ass music video in my head. it plays out the same every time so i have the layout of the house the party is at, camera angles, the whole nine. i’m kind of faceblind irl tho so they’re just sort of foggy dreamy figures unless they make a noticeable facial expression, like in the second verse joey’s eyebrows go up on “you’re lying on some coats” “i know” and both of them get very hype about d&d for obvious reasons lmao. but yeah this one is Strong on the visual imagery for me, for sure.
thank you love!! <3 happy ruin week to you too, darling

💝 BOOM
chaos from spear?!?!?!?!? no fucking way . okay umm. reaching into my mind and pulling something out This is actually good practice for improvisation. this was actually a recent (as in changed?? idfk) opinion of mine We should abandon english covers of non-english songs- this is specifically in the vocaloid community ive noticed. following the same reasoning as "if i could sing songs in other languages and memorize those lyrics for music class, i can do that now". this is for a lot of reasons- there is no one correct english translation- well, i guess if the person who made the song provides one. but even then, a lot of phrases in other languages are hard to translate 1:1 to another language. (read more-d again i am SO sorry im like this)
not only that, a lot of words, therefore sentences, are not the same length in every language. so lyrics have to be put into a thesaurus to get shorter or longer words so youre not holding them out super long or going SUPERFASTHOLYSHIT [super fast holy shit] and can barely sing the next line cause you're out of breath. which would work, except now the lyrics sound all clunky, or too fancy, etc- and it removes the mood the original lyrics were meant to have. for example- additional memory by jin. a direct translation of the last line is "goodbye, i love you." which is direct and to the point. but to make it longer, will stetson's lyrics are "this is the end, I love you so" which is.. so Exaggerated. so fancy. 'i love you so'? who the fuck says that? do you get my point, here? at that point, it'd be simpler to sing in the original language, yknow? not to mention the trouble of keeping rhymes- which isnt necessary for a song, but is always nice. actively TRYING to memorize the words, pronunciation, even characters for what you're singing could help you slowly learn that language. i've never been good at learning other languages (after spanish classes ended in school that shit left my brain Immediately) so something like that could be nice. especially since romaji isn't read how most english words are and getting used to that could make singing other songs even easier ! just in general though, it gives off a weird vibe. why does this song need to be in english? its like- very much a reach, but it feels like if you were whitewashing the song. thats the only way i can think of putting it into words. the unnecessary need to make something that belongs to people of color 'normal', if that makes sense. again, the way im saying it sounds super intense! that's not what i want it to sound like at all- im just saying it has that small bit of oddness to it.. slightly unrelated; the popular artists that make english versions of these songs end up being weirdos anyway. i forget her name (godbless) but the chick that was acting weird about one of the underage vocaloids in the description of one of her covers who had absolutely Terrible lyrics is someone i immediately think of. also- the obsession Will stetson has with kanaria?? every time they make a new song he's immediately on making a cover of it- even in his community tab he makes posts like OMG NEW KANARIA SONG HAHA in such a weird obsessive way.. it was especially notable since i used to be subscribed to him and listen to his covers a lot (which im ashamed of now, obviously)

hi mai (that rhymes omg) just wanted to say ty for ur tags on the answer/wave mashup fdkjslfjdskl made my night when i saw them last night!! and i managed to .. uh... mash them together (like potatoes. yum.) by transposing wave into answer's key, if that makes sense kdsjlfdsl if you listen to the originals, they aren't in the same key and aren't... harmonically... mashable. i love words.
but like. the timing also oddly works out bc they both have 'exclamation' kinda lines between the prechorus and chorus so it was easy to slip mingis 'hakuna matata' line into answer hehe (and they've also just. general similar structures yay)
(sorry yes i took this as an opportunity to unnecessarily talk a little bit about it ehfjds)
OH MY GOSH PLEASE NEVER APOLOGIZE ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THINGS YOU LOVE GFGDF
no i understand !!! i was really impressed bc yeah wave and answer are two totally different vibes (with wave being the summery bop she is and answer as the absolute 건배하자 like a thunder she is) but now that you mention it, they do have that "exclamation" lines :00
if anything you explaining how you rearranged/transposed/mixed (idk if i'm using terms right 💀) makes it even cooler aAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAaaaaaAa

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 242
The Devil in the Details/The Magician’s Apprentice
“The Devil in the Details”
Plot Description: Lucifer offers Sam a deal during a tense encounter in the Cage. When the fallout from the smiting sidelines Dean, Castiel checks on Amara’s fate
Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: why did Santa just kill Crowley? Oh…it’s Lucifer as Santa and we’re in Rowena’s dream…so I suppose no one actually died???
Of course Sam is gonna bet on Dean saving him…that’s what this entire show is. One of them saving the other all the time
I’m very confused how we got to some other room in hell…where Crowley is now threatening Rowena…again
I’m not mad at Rowena angling to be queen of heaven, hell, everything alongside Lucifer
Man, I’m eating dinner, did we need Dean vomiting on the side of the road??
Nah, Dean, you need to stay out or turn around, we don’t need you turning to a pillar of salt
Why IS Sam getting Ghost of Christmas Past’d by the devil??
Why does that look like the reaper…I THOUGHT THAT WAS HER!! I like being right. We need to see her more, she’s interesting
It’s not about who’s lecturing you about hurting people, it’s about what you stand for. Lucifer has his agenda and he’s not shy about it, but he’s not wrong about you and Dean choosing each other over everyone else instead of the very first sentence in the Winchester credo, “SAVING PEOPLE.”
Lucifer is so fun, honestly. He’ll make a very passionate argument to Sam about how Sam needs him because Sam’s not strong enough, and the second Sam’s like “and you are?” He hits him with “snappin necks and cashin checks is what I do” who ARE you, sir?! What
Omg this angel Cas has teamed up with. She NEEDS to up her self esteem, that or I don’t trust her. She called both of them expendable
I don’t like that Crowley’s got his hands on something called a witchcatcher
Ok…their names don’t rhyme as much as she made it sound. And a LOT of angels have the -iel at the end of their names
Guess it doesn’t matter if I didn’t trust Ambriel, she’s gone now :/
“My brother always had horrible taste in men” I like the insinuation that god is gay
WHAT DID AMARA DO TO CAS?????
I don’t like what’s happening to my faves. So the witchcatcher makes a witch follow any command given by…I’m not really sure. Dean put it on her but Crowley has control
CAN EVERYONE STOP MUTILATING MY ANGEL
I love how goofy Luci gets when he’s actually getting really serious about stuff, and I’m glad he did because he turned what I was considering to be a waste of a trip to hell into something interesting, a literal cage fight
Two angels and two humans enter, who will leave?? The boys and Cas are staggering out, Lucifer is back in his real cage.
Why did Sam salute Cas? What a weird fuckin move…
Look. I will NEVER say that Crowley keeping Rowena in hell like this is good, but it IS probably the only way he was ever going to find out why she hates him so much
Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Cas is Lucifer’s vessel. Misha’s so fuckin goofy, but he IS very good at the other actor’s mannerisms
I don’t like what this means for Rowena…there’s a minute left including credits and I’ve paused because I don’t trust what Lucifer’s gonna do to the only person who has the ability to open the Cage
Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! She can’t be GONE gone (I went on imdb to spoil myself on whether this is the last we see of her. It’s not, and there are some interesting things down the line. But we do have to say good bye to her for the next like 8 episodes)
So that was not…the most fun episode for me, specifically
“The Magician’s Apprentice”
Plot Description: when Earth’s skies freeze over, Clara needs her friend, but where is the Doctor?
Oh absolutely not what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck is this opening??? Why are there hands just sticking up from the ground? Why did one pull that guy down into the ground in a giant hole and AND WHY
Omg…omg…omg. This kid the Doctor showed up to help…is Davros. Oh that’s so very interesting. He just gave his sonic screwdriver to the leader, nay the creator of the Daleks
This guy is going around looking for the Doctor to deliver a message from Davros, but this best not be the last time the Doctor faces Davros. Moffat can’t have this
Oh. THAT kind of frozen. Like…things in the sky are stuck in place, mostly planes from what I can see. Doesn’t seem like birds are affected
Oooooooo, what’s Missy up to?? So SHE’S got the planes stuck??
The SHADE. And I’m not talking about the one caused by the airplane directly over the heads of Clara and Missy. The Doctor sent Missy his will because it gets sent to a Time Lord’s closest friend. Clara tried to grab it thinking Missy was delivering it to her and it zapped her. Missy tells Clara she’s not the Doctor’s friend, Clara asks what she is then, Missy directs her attention to a passing couple walking their dog and goes “you’re the puppy”
I love evil women and when they incidentally do good things and when they do them in goofy ways. She’s a delight
Look. I know he’s goin through some shit, what with it being the day before he dies, but what is the Doctor doing???
You ever seen a man who was really just several dozen snakes in a robe?? I guess that’s why it made sense that he appeared to glide everywhere, he was really slithering
Omg…In not helping Davros as a child, did the Doctor create his greatest enemy?? In abandoning him to his death while a scared child, in taking off in the TARDIS, he —
Woah woah woah, the guy the Doctor was supposed to be in an ax fight with is one of those secret Daleks?!
Missy’s sort of rivalry with Clara is interesting. I can’t tell if it’s good or not yet, but their interactions are pretty fun as of now
THEY’VE BEEN ON SKARRO THIS WHOLE TIME??
Seeing both the Doctor and Missy be absolutely terrified of being here is kind of cool. It’s honestly just cool to see more than one Time Lord react to an outside threat.
I just don’t believe both Missy and Clara are gone and i especially can’t believe the TARDIS is destroyed. That’s so many things to take from the Doctor
OH. It’s like that?! He didn’t go back in time to show compassion to child Davros. He only went back in time to KILL Davros. Stop making this dumbass mistake
I thought the pacing felt weird…and now that I know it’s a two parter, that makes sense

(I love my new bedrooooooom)
home from work and had my little broke bougie shower featuring my santal 33 shampoo sample from gabby and sample of aēsop amazing facial cleanser. popped a eucalyptus shower steamer in, scrubbed down with co mingle by lush, and some bar soap from a local company in Georgia. splashed some aēsop bitter orange toner on my face and slathered myself in brazil nut body butter.
took a little hit of some fruity pebbles opened up the curtains to let the sun stream in and getting cozy.
reading a tree grows in Brooklyn— started it yesterday. It’s good. I love the slice of life from a kid’s perspective in early 20th century New York. Reminds me a bit of the heart is a lonely hunter, which I really savored reading last year and have been wanting something that scratches a similar itch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
got this journal dark green journal from Yoseka Stationary yesterday and I lovvvee it. The binding is gorgeous and the paper is really nice as well. I also bought my first fountain pen and I’m so into it, I don’t wanna go back. Really effortless glide on the page and a super thin line, nice for tiny drawings as well. Im looking for any excuse to scribble in this new notebook while also having my regular perfectionist anxiety about what I put in it. The intention was that this would be a general messy notebook with no rhyme or reason, so I need to let it be that and not be fuckin weird about it lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
making my way through the May recs list from the ladies at nymphet alumni pod… starting with the vanity fair Caroline Calloway interview which is just the kind of juicy girl grifter internet drama shit that I want to pig out on. In the last few days I’ve fallen madly and autistically into the world or fragrance and have decided that a history lesson is in order so over to YouTube for my independent research project…..
Tumblr media
Where the perfume romance began… sat stoned and sipped my zero proof “aperol spritz” and cracked open these testers I bought on a whim recently… and omg Slumberhouse’s Kiste perfume had me drooling and wetting myself, it’s this rich sticky peachy tobacco smell like a summer night fucking outside by the fire or something. Sexy and juicy and warm with this waxy honey nose and a spicy patchouli note at the bottom. I love looking at the fragrance profiles on Fragrantica.com, the colors that go along with the main accords are really pleasing in the way that they match the colors I experience in the scent— for Kiste it’s those sunset shades, like a ripe peach, plus the warm brown of honey and dry tobacco.

Making my way through Midnights!
This is just for me to look back at when all the songs are my favourite and I laugh at myself hahahah. Some in order... Lavender Haze, Maroon Taylor Swift is SUCH a good writer omg. But it's not really my style yet. Anti-Hero I LOVE THE CLIP, it's sooo fun, when she's too big for the room!! I cannot wait to learn the lyrics! (In first listens I sometimes don't really hear the lyrics) Snow On The Beach OMG I LOVE THIS CUTE VIBE <3 Is is a Banjo or something? I love the plucking! I love 'Aurora Borealis!' This will be one of my faves for certain. You're on Your Own Kid Oh I thought this would be a darker production! It has become clear to me that this album is REALLY lyrics driven and I love it but I have a headache right now so I can really only say more after a few times of listening :') "I starved my body like I would be saved by a perfect kiss" (or something) - dang, she's really writing more about her eating disorder and its so brave and really touching :( <3 I like the bridge of this one!!! Midnight Rain Yeah I really want to join in on the hype but I think these are just songs I have to listen to more often!!! Oops. I blame it on having a headache.
Question...? "I don't remember who I was before you" yeah good line! I feel like I just need to print them all out and get coloured markers and analyse the shit out of all the songs. Because I'm like more of the bubbly songs instead of the 'same-note' songs but I hear snippets of amazing lyrics!
Vigilante Shit Yeah this one is the same mood but I feel this one more! I don't know what it is! It feels really powerful. Bejeweled 'Putting someone first only works when you're in their top five' YES. I think this one will be in my list of favs, also because its a liiiiittle bit more bubbly! Labyrinth --- skip because I want to make a YT video about it. Karma Yeahhh Karma is a purring cat yeaaahhh. Before this I had already listened to a few songs to play them on the piano without knowing the melody (YouTube video coming). Sweet Nothing is amazing and it almost made me cry with how CUTE THE LYRICS IS. 'I spy with my little tired eye Tiny as a firefly A pebble that we picked up last July Down deep inside your pocket We almost forgot it Does it ever miss Wicklow sometimes?'
IM A FAN! Of the rhymes in the beginning and I always love sentences with 'firefly' because I'm a basic princess bitch. I also love it when people give emotions to inanimate things (like the pebble aaah). It also has a dark side, of the world being too much, too hateful, and running to your significant other just to create such a bubbly loving space is such a mood (and now I want iiiiiitt omg). Mastermind YES YES YES BOP I LIKE IT, THE POWER OF IT! THE IDEA OF PLANNING A PERFECT ROMANCE. Yeah def one of my favs!
________
I also already listened to Would've Could've Should've because I was trying to do improv covers on the piano and DANG THAT ONE. THAT ONE. It HURTS ME. But it might also be one of my favourites because it's so powerful. Because I tried to play it I read the lyrics and it touches me in my ex-christian heart. I HONESTLY CRIED. It was just too real, too close. Singing about a relationship at 19 and struggling with faith, like, that is something that happened to me sooooo idk if she read my dairy but that song is special to me.
Especially the sentence 'If you never touched me, I would've gone along with the righteous' really hit me, because I think there is a duality in that. I miss who I used to be too, but because I was broken by somebody, it made it easier to let go of my perfectionism because I was "already broken". Not the best way of course, and I'm not saying I'm grateful for it. I'm just saying that I'm glad I'm not on that """righteous path""" anymore, because I felt like I was tiptoeing the whole time. Ofcourse the 'girlhood' line also hit too hard.
_______
Paris I really like the rhyme between 'Paris' and 'Somewhere else'! And I'm happy this is kind of a happy song :) 'Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling' also really cool!

Omg o14 saint wants to make osiis a poem or something but, poetry is always osiirs’ thing, so saint gets a rad obsessed with making the poem as good as possible, and eventually saint has a bunch of different poems all around the room and his just mumbling ‘not good enoigj’ repeatedly as osiris walks in and sees the mess 😂
oh anon, you absolutely made my DAY when you sent me this prompt. I hope you will enjoy this :D
Geppetto lands on top of a disorganized stack of sheets of paper. There is hurried writing on them, scrambled, blacked out. There is a doodle or two of birds.
"What are you doing, Brother Saint?" she asks politely, peeking her sensors over another sheet in front of Saint.
"I am trying to put together some lines for Osiris. I can't say I've gotten very far with it," Saint-14 grumps, throwing aside another half-written sheet of paper, and procures a new one.
Geppetto blinks.
"Does 'bird' rhyme with 'fjord'?"
"I think it does, Brother Saint."
Saint hums, brooding somewhat, and leans over the paper to scribble down a few more words. Then another few, and some more.
A moment later, that paper is crumpled and thrown aside between the other discarded attempts. Geppetto blinks again, and if she could smile - she would.
"I never knew poetry is so hard. Osiris always made it looks so... easy!"
"May I suggest a perusal of a thesaurus?"
"I will do fine, Geppetto. It's Osiris' job to use the fancy words, mine is with the simple ones."
Geppetto concedes and remains seated on top of the paper stack. She watches Saint and listens to his mutter.
"Nope, not this. No, no... No, not good enough..."
The pen scratches, the chair creaks, paper shuffles.
"...Bird, fjord. Heart, art. Dove, love-"
Saint-14 stumbles when the door to his room opens, and Osiris appears on the doorstep. His eyes take a moment to quickly study the room, and they pause on the plentiful mess of paper on, below and around Saint's desk.
"Shall I come back later, Saint?" he asks, a smile appearing on his lips. The sly one, the one that makes Saint's heart jump and flip in his chest.
"No, I think I am done for today," he replies, shoving the sheets of paper non-chalantly into the corner of his desk.
Geppetto watches them leave together and after a moment's consideration of politeness and moral, casts them aside for curiousity's sake. Her little eye focuses on the last sheet of paper that Saint used, to read.
"Osiris, my fiery bird.
With power, wider stronger than a fjord.
You have flown away my heart.
You are good at that art.
We are like a pair of doves
My"

Keys and Locks
pairing: Katsuki Bakugou x reader
warnings: some swearing
genre: fluff
You wore your key as a necklace. It hung perfectly between your collarbones, waiting patiently for it to guide you to your soulmate. Some people’s keys or locks where made of gold or silver. They came in various shapes and sizes, as they were unique to you and your soulmate. You often would look at your key admiring it. It was a warm orange tone, always shinning. You had yet to meet the owner of the orange lock that would click with yours, but you stayed patient and hopeful. You knew that you two would be brought together when the time was right. The thing is, you certainly didn’t expect it to happen the way it did.
It was a terribly hot summer’s day. The sun was at full power, no wind power seemed to help. It was too hot to do anything.
Then you received a call from a friend of yours. Mina Ashido. She had invited you to join her and her friends at the beach to hopefully cool off. You had never met Mina’s friends before, so you were a mix of nervous and excited.
“I’ll be outside your place in 15!” cheered Mina through the phone.
“Okay!” You hung up the call and began to pack whatever you’d need for the beach. You changed into your desired beach clothes and swimsuit. You packed a couple bottles of water, a few snacks, sunglasses, your preferred sun protectant, and a hat just incase. The beach seemed like the perfect way to beat the exhausting heat.
You stood outside and awaited for Mina’s arrival. You soon saw her pull up with some people in the car.
“Y/N! Hop in!” greeted Mina. You smiled brightly and hopped into the car.
“This is Sero and Denki by the way,” she explained. You greeted the two boys. You couldn’t help but look at your lock. Nothing.
The four of you arrived at the beach at last. Sero and Denki immediately ran into the water, leaving you and Mina to carry in everyone’s stuff. The two of your set up a spot on the sand, laying down towels and chairs.
“Kirishima and Bakugou should be joining us soon,” said Mina. You nodded.
“Yeah I think you’ve mentioned them to me before.”
“You guys have to get in the water! It feels amazing!” exclaimed Kaminari as he shook the water from his hair. You laughed.
“No way I’m getting in the water while you’re in there Charge Bolt,” joked Mina.
“Gosh it’s still so hot...” you groaned.
“I know what will cool us down, ” began Sero.
“I hear ya. Come one Y/N, let’s grab some ice cream!” Mina took your hand and the four of you got in line for a frozen treat. You ordered a delicious cone filled with your favorite flavor.
“This definitely hits the spot,” you smiled.
“Hey I think I see Kiri!” Mina pointed into the distance at two boys. They were so far away but you could make out that one had red hair and one blonde. The four of you began to walk over to the other two, still enjoying your ice cream.
Suddenly, you felt your necklace start to shake. You looked down at it. The key vibrated and began to pull on your chain.
“There’s no way...”
The force was so strong that it was dragging you through the sand. You picked up speed quickly. You looked a head of you. The blond boy seemed to be running towards you.
“Oh shit-”
“Shit-”
Not only did your key connect with the blond boy’s lock, but your ice cream collided with his face. Your face burned with embarrassment. You quickly pulled the ice cream cone off of his face and attempted to wipe it off of him.
“Oh my gosh I am so so sorry! This is not at all how I planned on this going...this is so embarrassing...”
“You are so lucky you’re cute soulmate...”
“W-What?”
“It’s Bakugou by the way. What’s your name dumbass?”
“It’s uh Y/N.”
Bakugou wiped some of the ice cream off of his cheek, tasted it, then took some more and placed it on your nose.
“Well Y/N, you’ve got a good taste in soulmate’s, and ice cream,” he joked. You chuckled nervously.
Even with the ice cream covering half of his face you could see how attractive he was. His beautiful red eyes, his perfect blond hair, his devilish smile. Lucky you to have him as a soulmate.
The two of you looked down at your key and lock. You carefully unlocked his and handed it to him. You smiled.
“I promise I’m not this clumsy all the time,” you laughed. Bakugou smirked, wrapping his arm around you.
“Sure dumbass. Let’s go, we can get a new ice cream cone to share.”
