Something something Jason feeling like he doesn't quite fit as "Greek" or "Roman" as a metaphor for bisexuality, particularly the semi-canonical bi-coding in his half of experiences during the Cupid scene and how Favonius and Cupid speak to him in parallel to the scenes confirming Nico is gay.
Something something the camps as metaphors for traditionally acceptable forms of relationships and Nico living as a rogue outside of them, rejecting expectation (ergo in himself representing a metaphor of queer identity and living outside of boxes and defined/usually hetero-allonormative/binary ideas of what love/relationships should look like) versus Jason struggling with the expectation to conform to a label and even discussing with Nico both of them remaining at CHB together.
Something something the inverse of Jason shifting away from the camps after he breaks up with Piper, feeling lost and unable to find a place between the camps as he begins to explore his queer identity properly for the first time versus Nico only remaining at CHB because he has entered a relationship. In this essay I will-

“I swear to follow the law in order benefit those wronged, or otherwise falsely accused, and bring justice upon the accusers and wrongdoers.” - The Third Ideal of the Skybreakers, as sworn by Alani.
My beautiful, beautiful criminal justice major.
Started this at 5am, its now 11am and I’m finished :’)
It, surprisingly, only took 5 hours.
A little tidbit of info on Alani: if Honorspren had recruited earlier, Alani would probably be a Windrunner. Most of her ideals and personal views focus on making sure innocents aren’t abused under the law— which, upon being mentored by the Skybreakers, she approached it with a more ‘-while following the law aswell’ type way. The threat of accidentally killing Zenel binds her to her Ideals tightly, and she strives to be more strict in her law-following— she doesn’t enjoy the way some Skybreakers find loopholes in the law. (Again, alot of Windrunner energy with her.)
[Image ID: A digital Illustration of Alani, infused with Stormlight, flying beside Zenel and Gloryspren. The Highspren hovers on her left side, and Alani has twisted her body to smile at him. Her eyes are still pale yellow, although they leak stormlight. The Gloryspren arch over her head, favoring her left side. The background is the sky, bright and sunny with rolling clouds partially shading the sun. Alani is clad in a monotone dusty green dress, the long sleeve over her left hand and the whole front of the dress burned off; the Stormlight streaming off of her skin illuminates the underside of her dress. She wears a brown fingerless glove on her left hand and matching slippers with beige socks. Alani’s hair is loose, and slightly shorter than one would remember. Smoke— the aftermath of her Third Ideal— rises up from below her. /.End ID]

so yesterday i went to a local plant shop for the first time (!!!) and got into a great convo with the owner. we were chatting about everything Plants, when i got distracted by a beautiful pink princess philodendron on the front counter. and i was like "OOOOH is that a pink princess???" and she was "like!!! yeah!! hold on we have more --"
and she walked out across the store and I heard from across the way -- "ah....I really only have small and shitty ones"
and I was like "I mean it's ok, it i were to buy anything it's probably need to be small and shitty, im running out of room haha"
then she brought this plant up to me
for context, this is what they're supposed to look like:
and she looked down at it, then looked at me, and went " ://...yeah....im just gonna give this to you for free"
"no no you don't have to do that!"
and she went "://...it's gonna need a lot of TLC, I think you can do it!"
SO. now....i have this beautiful silly little girl . she has a new leaf coming up, and it doesn't look like the two big leaves are REALLY drooping, it's like they just...grew...down? I guess? like they're nice and strong! and my goodness, give her three months, and she'll look amazing

Do you go to any stores like Ross (or something else) where they sell like extra things that didn't sell in other stores,
I often see a lot of Sonic stuff in stores like that, and manage to find a few "uncommon" characters that way, so it's possible to find jet in a place like that.
yeah i do check ross and similar stores when i get the chance, i did see the classic sonic from the jet wave there once but ive never seen any of the other characters from that wave there. or anywhere for that matter
but also i live in a small town in the middle of nowhere and all the stores that would actually have sonic stuff like that are like a couple towns over. so i cant be checking constantly. which makes me inherently unlucky i think when characters like jet get stocked less And are popular among both collectors and resellers

hello anon who I’m 95% sure is just that one teen who recently deadass made a Lucio hate blog in 2023
Thanks for invalidating whatever repetitive arguments you tried to make later by making this opening
Anyway, good luck, it seems like Lucio lives rent-free in your head despite you not enjoying him. Must be tough being this angry all the time. I suggest jorunaling.

God the Sigma mischaracterization is going to be SO BAD when season 4 comes out. I’m going to STRANGLE you I’m going to STRANGLE you if you mischaracterize him as a stupid little baby I’m going to KILL you SO HARD. He is a LITERAL TERRORIST and he has canonically STABBED A POLICE CHIEF and has AGGRAVATEDLY ASSAULTED PEOPLE

For any followers of mine still living with parents, guardians, family, or even just with roommates and who've never lived alone and/or fully on your own terms (whether ye be 16 or 60), I have TWO pieces of wisdom for you for when you eventually do:
You WILL discover that you were wrong about some shit you felt pretty strongly about before. Maybe you never realized how often your mom ACTUALLY cleans the bathroom and it turns out she asked for help really rarely. Maybe, much as it grates to admit, putting $50 into a different savings account every paycheck really IS the ONLY way to save any fucking money. Maybe that big rolling trashcan you resented your roommate putting in the kitchen, and got in that big fight about, really WAS super convenient and now you have to buy one for yourself after they move out and take it with them. Maybe blanching vegetables so they retain their color when cooked actually DOES enhance a meal, pretty food slaps actually, and the reason you didn't think it was worth the effort is because you were depressed.
You WILL also discover new shit that works SO much better for you than everything you'd been taught. Maybe you'll discover that dropping trash off at a recycling center at your convenience works way better for your brain than getting it picked up on a set day. Maybe you'll realize you don't actually hate tofu, you just hate how your family cooks tofu. Maybe you'll love being able to walk around the house naked whenever you want. Maybe you'll find you thrive in a space with giant framed nude photography, or taxidermy animals, or fandom themed Everything. Maybe you'll realize that keeping the thermostat set like 5 degrees colder (or hotter) than is typical makes you sleep better than you ever have before in your whole life.
The point of this wisdom is: Stay humble, but also, stay excited. There's no point pretending you weren't wrong about shit you were wrong about, just eat the crow and move on. But also, there's so much to look forward to about your own space-- even more than you could ever imagine when you don't have it yet.
