rose and dirk are characters who are always thinking about how they look in front of people and are very into keeping up with aesthetics and appearances. and yeah this applies to a lot of the other hs characters too, especially the strilondes. but rose and dirk are especially similar in that they are both very convinced that the "polished" masks they've constructed for themselves do their job of covering up every single possible insecurity they have (mainly that they're huge gay nerds). this is due to the fact that rose and dirk think that they're smarter than everybody else. which is, to be fair, true. but not to the extent that they think since they're both kids raised on wiki articles on the internet. which they are also aware of, but being aware of this fact makes them feel smart and it loops right back into feeding their egos, which are very fragile egos that could crumble at the drop of a hat by the thought of having other people "see" through them and realizing that they are, in fact, gay nerds. so rose and dirk both cope by acting out in increasingly outlandish ways to prove that they're completely confident in their own identities. because an insecure person would be too scared to do furry roleplay or watch my little pony "ironically" or et cetera, so by doing these things it's like a weird one-uppance to the people around them who think that stuff is too weird. but they do have a limit, which is complete sincerity. and that's why roxy lalonde is actually the strongest strilonde and could duplex both rose and dirk in a fight. this was a read 💅

Watching back Iskall's charity stream Guess the Build POV is wild.

It goes from "person with big eyebrows" through "baby Grian" to "a duck-dog hybrid taking a poop" and lands on "disrespectful small dog". I believe this round typifies two rules that control the trajectory of any HC guess the build:

If you make a generic person, do not give them a red shirt, or they will immediately be interpreted as Grian, and

Skizzleman has a beautiful mind and will never guess what you think he is about to guess.

Riordan: And the grand lesson that Percy needed to learn over the course of hoo, the culmination of his character arc of this series, the moment where the fate of the world hangs in the balance because of a single decision he has to make... is realizing when he needs to take a step back :)

this is how it looks my mind

Was it love at first sight for Mikey and the tots? Did it take Mikey some time to warm up to them? Super cute AU!!

It was kind of hectic when Mikey saw the tots for the first time ever, while also being emotionally stunted, so the warming up is kind of a slow but surely process!

Upgrading my wardrobe with essentials. I’ve found that I don’t have a lot of classic pieces that I can wear. My wardrobe consists of ALOT of bodysuits which is perfect and other pieces but I want to add more pants, dresses, sweaters and button down shirts. Im thinking a trip to Ann Taylor, Banana Republic & Express is needed.
