the weak spot of this audition being my singing DEATHHHH

#cannot believe i did well on the dancing and bad on the singing. THIS IS SO BACKWARDS can we please switch that #like bad dancing in a musical audition is whatever they know you’re just learning the choreography and it’s just not as much of a priority #as other parts of the production like you know. The Music.#personal #the music chronicles #i wish they’d had us do dancing and even maybe acting before the singing but they started w singing. doing dancing esp beforehand would have #helped make everyone more comfortable and hyped them up i feel #i got back in the swing of my song as it built up but the way i started was soooo. ugh like i was singing it 20x better an hour earlier 😐#and even toward the end it was still like. good lord you can do so much better than this what is happening #and it’s not a matter of being unable to perform in front of ppl!! god knows how many solos ive done. but The Auditions #but whatever. honestly i hope i just got in at all bc literally any role in it including ensemble i think would be a lot of fun. and they #seem like a really nice group of ppl i don’t think ive felt that comfortable in a group of ppl that fast like. ever since getting to college #actually scratch the i don’t think i ABSOLUTELY haven’t #i miss theatre sooo bad

So I am re-reading TOA and i have decided to write some things i noticed now that I know what is going to happen next.

THE HIDDEN ORACLE

Meg was about do develop a crush on Percy, and Apollo noticed. It was immediatly curbed by Percy mentioning his girlfriend. He did not even notice XD

Apollo actually got out of the three legged death race unscathed O.o Scared to death but unharmed

Lester is being surprisingly not pathetic??? I mean, he can't remember shit and has the constutution of a limp noodle, but he has not fainted in several chapters!!! Maybe it's because Camp Half Blood is a relatively safe space for them...

THE FORESHADOWING IN CHAPTER 26 IS DEVASTATING - he gets confirmation it is the emperors behind everything and he thinks "i would have rather tangled with Tartarus or Ouranos or Primordial Chaos" APOLLO PLEASE

Speaking of foreshadowing, Rhea?!??!? "Find your center. Enlightenment has to come from within" HELLO??!?!??

Apollo mentioning he caused an earthquake that wiped out most of Sparta and that he never liked the Spartans much??? What about HYACINTHUS???????

"I busted out some footwork the Nine Muses and I had been working on" please I want so bad to see Apollo dance. Especially Apollo as Lester

Apollo being absolutely convinced that he will never have a proper partner is tragic. "It was not in my destiny" bro

The Germani appear and the absolute first thing Apollo does is move in front of Meg. "Instinctively". This is the same guy that at the beginning of the book was evaluating which demigods would be best to keep on hand to throw at quests. I can't. Just how much exactly did he repress his protective instincts through the years and centuries?

I find so fascinating that Apollo wants to strike Nero down immediately after meeting him. Like, yes. Apollo is a god. And he would not allow anyone to threaten what he cares about. Even after his trials, he might be kinder and more attentive to demigods, but I think that anybody who crosses him (really crosses him) will have to start praying for mercy.

If there is one thing I can say about TOA is that it is certainly expanding my musical horizons, with all the songs I have to check out on youtube just to have an idea of what Apollo is singing about.

He did not suck during the confrontation with Nero?! Burst of godly strength saved the day and his dignity

"Just because she had lied about being my friend did not mean I wasn't hers. She was in danger. I was not going to leave her" man. He cares so fucking much. No wonder he never let anybody get close to him in the last years.

Didn't they say a sonnet was worse than a limerick in the next book?

"BLESS HIS CONNIVING LITTLE HEART". "Children of Hermes cannot rap". "[Cecil] was demoted to dancer" skjsjskansnkzbsnsmmsnzm

It's kind of ... sad? How happy Apollo is when flying on the giant ants. He is used to being a god who can fly whenever he wants, and a part of him is usually in the sky every day as he drives the sun chariot. And instead he has been stranded on earth, away from what is both his duty and something he greatly enjoys. "It felt so good to fly again. [...] For two or three seconds I was exhilarated".

AND THE ARROW OF DODONA IS FINALLY HERE AND TALKING FRIENDS!!!!

I cannot believe I am so happy because of a talking arrow

The arrow QUIVERED kjsnsksjsnsnzjxndnsk i love them so much

Not Apollo asking where Jason Grace is 💀

I genuinely cannot understand if this is foreshadowing or really lucky wording on Riordan's part. Rachel asks about Meg and Apollo thinks "She might as well have plunged the Arrow of Dodona into my chest". RICK. RICK DID YOU KNOW? HAD YOU ALREADY THOUGTH ABOUT THAT SCENE IN TBM OR WAS IT PURE CHANCE????

WE WERE ROBBED. I have been wondering for a few days if in TOA we ever see Apollo sing for fun (not to confuse enemies, not to open doors, not for any practical purpose. Just for the fun of it). The depressing answer seems to be no, although I might have forgotten. At the end of THO it is implied that Apollo, Leo and Calypso join the sing-along at CHB, but the fact that the books end before we actually see him sing is a travesty.

"Do you know that your eyes actually have three different colours?" "You're very close." just screams Empire Siblings to me

14. "Do you know that your eyes actually have three different colours?" "You're very close."

Caleb is going to kill Veth. What was supposed to be a relaxing Mighty Nein vacation on the shores of Rumblecusp has turned into Fjord and Caleb babysitting the rest of their friends, who are, in Jester's parlance, tripping balls. Fjord keeps apologizing—it was his crew, namely Jester and Kingsley, who brought the strange powder ashore—but Caleb can't blame him when Veth was the one who stole it and dumped half the bag of unknown narcotics into the group punch. She even had to slip it into Caduceus's iced tea.

Caduceus, at least, is easy to take care of. He's been sitting with his back to a palm tree for two hours now, murmuring gently to the giant beetle in his hand—or, rather, murmuring to where the giant beetle was, because Caleb watched it fly away over an hour and a half ago. Caleb just reminds him to drink water every once in a while, to which Caduceus drawls, "Yes sir, Mr. Cat Man."

Jester and Yasha seem convinced that tonight is the night they're going to write the greatest erotic thriller Exandria has ever known. Caleb already surrendered all of the parchment in his possession to quell their incessant begging, and now they're sliding through the sand in pursuit of a terrified Fjord. "Let me see your ABS!" Jester shouts, lunging for the hem of her boyfriend's shirt. "I have to describe them perfectly!"

Caleb's just glad Fjord's handling those two. He peers at their manic scribbles and wonders if Yasha even knows that Jester has been writing everything in Infernal.

He gave up on getting Veth down from the tree she's in. Every attempt to do so was met with some variation of "The OCEAN can HEAR YOU, you ginger BASTARD!" followed by a wobbly crossbow bolt being fired into the gently lapping waves. Caleb just hopes she doesn't fall from the branches in her sleep. Well, if she does, he supposes that would be just desserts for all the chaos she's wrought.

Kingsley keeps getting booed off of the stage originally erected for Travelercon, but he keeps sneaking back on, each time with a new talent. Singing, sword-juggling, tap dancing, poetry, shadow puppets—from what Caleb's been able to catch from the Nein's slice of the beach, he might not be half-bad if he were sober. Tonight, though, he's an absolute mess, but he's not the absolute mess Caleb is concerned with.

Beau will not shut up. She has been talking non-stop for nearly an hour and forty-five minutes, her sentences long and her syllables unintelligible. She's been following Caleb around as he checks on Caduceus and Veth, mouth moving a mile a minute. Caleb cannot believe she hasn't lost her voice. From what he's been able to gather, her topics of obsession are:

the moons

ghosts on the moons

building an airship to deliver a payload of anti-ghost gas to the moons

Yasha's tits

Caleb and Fjord moving in slow motion

proof that the Cerberus Assembly has a secret volcano lair

the beetle that Caduceus was talking to being a spy for King Dwendal

Exhausted, Caleb splays out on the beach, staring up at the stars. Beau keeps rambling beside him about the firmness of her wife's breasts until she cuts herself off mid-word, and for a moment, Caleb knows peace. Then a face appears upside-down above his. "Do you know that your eyes actually have three different colors?"

He sighs. "You're very close."

"Why are you so slow? Did you cast a spell on yourself? The rest of us are so fast, even Caduceus. I'm watching him fly around the tree but he's going so fast even he can't see it."

"I told you, Fjord and I didn't drink the punch. That's why we're stuck keeping the rest of you chucklefucks alive."

"Caleb?"

"Ja?"

"Do you think the stars are alive?"

"No."

"Caleb?"

"Ja."

"What if they are, though?"

"Then each and every one of them would be telling you to shut the fuck up and go to sleep."

"Okay." The face disappears, and a moment later, much to Caleb's surprise and awe, he hears snoring. He turns his head to see Beau curled up like a cat in the sand, passed out cold. Relieved, Caleb lets his own eyes drift shut.

Only for them to snap open a minute later when a familiar voice echoes across the beach. "CALEB! WHAT IS THE ZEMNIAN WORD FOR 'THROBBING PENIS'?"

Caleb is going to kill Veth.

Top apologist here

I might get canceled but idc I will defend Top

Last week Top shared Mew bits and pieces of his past and I feel like he did it because he started feeling comfortable around Mew. He does not see that Mew is playing him, he cannot see pass what Mew is actually thinking and feel bad for him because at this point I can't even understand what Mew is thinking. I can't say if Mew is actually playing with Top and his feelings or if Mew is just trying to change Top.

On today's episode Top took Mew on a cute date in a silent disco which was Mew's first experience with something like that. He explained everything about the disco to Mew before taking him to the dance floor. This whole section was a normal date including the off key singing and cringy lines.

Everything was going great Top was enjoying his time with Mew until Beam didn't see Top and started a conversation with Top. You could really see how Top's mood changed as soon as he arrived.

Beam made Top very uncomfortable with everything he was saying and I think that Top would disagree with what Beam just said but he just kept it inside.

This is the second person who said this. First it was Boston and now Beam but both of them are wrong. I don't think anyone knows Top, I don't think even Mew knows true Top, I think that even Top is struggling with that himself. I think ever since the fire Top hasn't known peace he could never truly relax. He might have told himself that sleeping with others would bring a bit of comfort but I don't think he truly wants it...

This whole interaction made Top feel uneasy even when Beam left. He forced a smile the whole time Beam was there and when he left he was just looking around uncomfortable he couldn't even enjoy himself after the conversation

I do feel that Top does care about Mew.. Maybe he involuntary started liking Mew. He is not trying to get into Mew's pants at least I see it that way

But he still likes pissing Ray off which is okay you can't get along with everyone and he can have a bit of fun especially if he knows that Ray likes Mew

Once again Top clearly states he does not want to do anything with Boston but Boston is not letting him go he clearly does not respect Top in any way. Boston is so selfish and sees only his own needs and does not care about anything or anyone else.

Top is clearly trying to ignore Boston and take care of Mew but Boston keeps bothering Top and when Mew pushed Top to leave he had no choice but to go to him.

We need to talk about Boston gaslighting everyone. He did it to Ray at the party and now he is doing the same to Top just to get his way with Top

He is so disgusting he is gaslighting Top so hard because he does know that Top started caring for Mew. Everything thag Boston said in the car was so disgusting I have no idea how he can live with himself

He looks like a lost puppy here he has no idea what he should do now he can't even think straight anymore everything he thought he knew was a lie and he does not know what he should believe now

I would also like to point out that Mew does not think of Top as his boyfriend. Is it still cheating? Well yes but but Top has so many things on his mind he went back to the only thing he knows and that is sex

Is this mess a complete mess yes it is but this is not a face of man he wants to do this

#top apologist #might get canceled but i don't really care Top deserves better #complete mess of a post #i tried #but my mind is running from one place to another i can't keep up #i just feel so bad for Top everyone is playing with him and nobody genuinely cares for him #he doesn’t even have friends #i want to comfort him so badly #TOP DESERVES BETTER!!#only friends #only friends the series #force jiratchapong #forcebook #book kasidet #kasibook #fforce #fforcejs

I Don’t Wanna Set the World On Fire

A/N: This is my first fic in like 6-7 years so please go easy on me! It’s been a rough few days and I forgot about this challenge until today so it is a bit of a rushed fic. This is part of @roosterforme LOVE IS IN THE AIR songfic challenge. I hope you all enjoy!

As I stood at the sink washing the dinner dishes that Jake and I used, my favorite song came blaring through the speakers. I started humming along and swaying to the soft beat.

Suddenly arms wrapped around my waist and heat bloomed along my shoulder and neck as he nuzzled his nose inhaling deeply. I smiled brightly and continued humming until Jake started singing along to the song.

“I don’t wanna set the world on fire. I just wanna start a flame in your heart!” He softly sang in my ear and swayed with me.

I could feel the heat creep up into my cheeks as he did so. I turned around in his arms drying my hands off and smiled lovingly up at him. “Hi, my love.”

He leaned down and kissed me in such a way that my heart nearly exploded. He leaned his forehead against mine as he pulled away.

“Jake Seresin, if I did not know any better I would say you were feeling all kinds of sappy on Valentine’s day.” I giggled wrapping my arms around his neck, still swaying to the song.

He smiled down at me. “Well darling…as it just so happens to also be our one year anniversary, I would say you are well worth the sappiness.”

He pulled me closer and started swaying us around more, pulling me to dance with him in the middle of the kitchen. I sighed happily and laid my head on his chest.

“I cannot believe it has been an entire year spent with you Jake. Seems like just yesterday you were all cocky and had that stupid smirk on your face as you tried to flirt with me.” I whispered thinking back to when we first met at the Hard Deck a year ago for Penny’s Valentine’s Day special.

Jake squeezed my hand softly before humming his agreement. “You were the most beautiful woman there that night and every night since. You did not fall for any of my usual tricks which, I will say, almost brought me to my knees right then and there.”

In my heart I have but one desire, and that one is you. No other will do.

“Rooster refused to let me talk to you after that night, you know.” I looked up as I told him. He stared down at me in slight shock. “Really? Cause he is the one that pushed me to finally ask you out.”

Thinking back to a year ago, Rooster would always steer me clear of Jake whenever he came in sight or was even mentioned in conversations. But he never spoke bad about Jake which I was grateful for since I had already had a major crush on Jake seeing at the Hard Deck all the time.

“I do not know whether to thank Rooster or strangle him for trying to keep me away from you.” He laughed lightly and spun me around until I ended back in his arms again.

The song ended and then started playing again. I looked up at Jake in confusion when he pulled away from me and pulled out one of his ties. “What are you doing with that? I swear Jake that if you are trying some type of fifty shades thing with me on Valentine’s Day of ALL days, I am gonna kill you tomorrow.” I threatened.

He let out a full belly laugh before shaking his head. “No darlin’, just put it on for me so I can finally give you the last gift I got for you today.”

I sighed and took the tie from him, putting it over my eyes and tying it on the back of my head being careful to not tangle my hair into the knot.

I reached out blindly and felt Jake grab onto my hands. “Alright, here we go baby.” He started leading me around. I tripped a little and Jake had to steady me. “Careful. Almost there. Just a few more steps.”

He stopped me suddenly and moved me around a little bit before he pulled away completely. “Do not take the blindfold off just yet!”

I nodded and waited patiently as he shuffled around in front of me.

“Alright! Take it off!” He exclaimed.

I reached behind me and untied the tie opening my eyes as I pulled it away from my face. I gasped seeing Jake down on one knee in a pile of rose petals. “Jake… what are you doing?” I asked in shock.

He smiled and pulled out a tiny black velvet box. “Well, to start, I have always known that I would marry you ever since I laid my eyes on you. You light up every room you walk into and always bring a smile to my face. I want to hear you be called Mrs. Seresin. I want you to be the mother to my kids. My entire family loves you more than me. My ma has already started calling you her daughter.” We both laughed softly.

I sniffled with tears welling in my eyes. “Baby, you are the only woman for me. I would sell my soul in a heart beat if it meant I could continue calling you my girl. You mean so much to me. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” He finished and opened up the box showing the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen.

I gasped putting my hand over my heart. “Oh Jake!”

“It is my grandmother’s ring. When she met you last christmas, she pulled me aside and gave this to me. She said she knew we were meant to be and that she wanted you to have this. She did not want anyone else to wear it.”

Tears slipped down my cheeks. “But we had only been together for 5 months.” He nodded and stood up coming closer to me.

“Exactly. Even she knew you were the one for me. So. What will it be darlin’?” He asked softly.

I smiled and nodded through the tears. “Yes! Of course Jake. Of course I will marry you.” He took the ring out of the box and took my left hand slipping it onto my ring finger. He kissed my knuckles before pulling me close and kissing me with so much passion.

My hands tangled into his hair as I kissed him back with all the love that I could.

We pulled out gasping for breath and smiled at each other. “I love you so much Mr. Seresin.”

He kissed my lips again. “I love you so much more future Mrs. Seresin.”

And with your admission that you feel the same, I’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming of

yeah absolutely take your time get some sleep (if needed) don't rush yourself!!!!

- Eras Tour Anon

This could be my favourite request ever I love this so much thank you so much eras your anon!!

Disclaimer: In this universe may didn’t happen 🙈 and matty, reader and Taylor are all friends

You didn’t think you’d get to attend the eras tour as getting tickets seems to been an impossible task Matty knew as soon as he saw your disappointed face that he’d have to reach out to Taylor (an: what if you just called Taylor up😂) and of course Taylor being a great friend of both of yours was more than willing to invite you, even hinting at you doing something together at one of the shows. So very quickly the day of your show came around and to say you were excited was an understatement you had spent countless hours making your outfit with some help from Patricia, a beautiful gown inspired by Taylor’s folklore dress and with great difficulty you’ve managed to keep your outfit a secret from Matty which just added to the excitement.

After many hours of perfecting your hair and makeup you take one final look in the mirror before you head downstairs to show Matty excitement bubbling in your stomach, Matty sees you appear from the bottom of stairs his breath getting caught in his throat as he makes his way over to you, “wow love you look absolutely wow I don’t even have the words” Matty says in absolute awe of your beauty, “well Healy you don’t look too bad yourself” you let out as you admire his appearance of a sleek white shirt, sleeves rolled up showing off his beautiful arms, chest tattoo peaking out, just the Matty you love.

Once you make you’re way to the venue you’re shocked when you are greeted by a security guard and quickly escorted to a vip tent, you truly didn’t expect this, “Matty how did you manage this” you let out shocked that this will be your experience, “well love Taylor knew how big of a fan you were and wanted us to have the best experience.” Soon after some fans make their way to the tent and offer you some friendship bracelets your heart absolutely melting when they ask for a photo with the pair of you.

As you hear the opening chords to miss Americana and you see Taylor appear you truly cannot believe you’re here and experiencing this first hand, experiencing this with matty. You dance and sing at the top of your lungs, dancing softly to lover with Matty as he whispers soft I love you’s in your ear, at Matty’s favourite song (shake it off🤭) you can’t help but video his antics. When the surprise songs come around you truly are shocked. Once the fireworks go off during karma you’re hit with a sudden sadness that the show is over, that is until Matty whispers in your ear “nights not over yet love” as the same security guard as earlier explains that Taylor has invited the pair of you backstage, you truly can’t believe you’ve experienced this

Thank you so much for reading ❤️ (really hope I’ve done this justice) I was thinking of maybe doing a little social media post for this if that’s something you would be interested in (?)

#thoughts inside my mind #the 1975 #matty healy #chats #the 1975 x reader #matty healy x reader #matty healy fanfiction #matty healy drabble #I need this

hi! i've been having a debate with a friend, do you believe pinning after someone with a partner is good on the eyes of Aphrodite? like could you give it as an offering or would she not like it at all?

Plain text under the cut.

Hello!

This is a very interesting question for a number of reasons. Firstly, this is a moralistic question framed as a theological one, and one that you're asking a mortal in place of a Deity. And secondly, because you are asking whether emotions can be used as offerings.

As far as I am aware, all offerings used in ancient Greece were tangible, meaning you could see, hear or touch them. While emotions were part of some rituals such as in funerals or the Eleusinian Mysteries, they were expressed through tangible acts such as ritual screaming, crying, singing or dancing or through clothing such as veils.

If you were to express this feeling of pining through a tangible act, then it would class as an offering! (And if someone more well read than me has a source which disagrees with what I'm saying, I'd be very interested to read it!)

Concerning the morality or 'liking' of such an offering. I, of course, cannot speak for Aphrodite and it would be hubristic to pretend that I could. So my answer here will be based on my own opinions. If you want to know what Aphrodite may think, it would be best to ask Her directly through divination!

It is my belief that all feelings are neutral; there is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" emotion, because they are things we cannot control. To apply morality to something outside of our control is not good for our mental or emotional health as I have come to learn in therapy. Pining for a person who is taken is not a good or bad thing, it is just a thing. It is the actions taken that can have morality applied to them. I think most of us can agree that pursuing someone with a partner is not a morally good thing to do. But the feeling of longing is not bad.

In myth, Aphrodite has been known to compel feelings within people, or someone another loves, that they did not want (e.g., Hippolytus, Hippomenes, Menelaos, Skylla and Tyndareus among many, many others). But it is important to remember that myths were not seen as true stories, they were only creative explanations for observed phenomenon or ritual practices, or simply entertainment.

In offering these feelings to Her, what would the goal of this offering be? Would you want Her to banish these feelings from you as they pain you? Would you want Her to help you win the person you desire over? Or do you simply want to express these feelings to Her as a recognition of Her divinity and power? Because we can apply morality to our intentions.

TL;DR - Offerings in ancient Greece were always tangible, meaning you could see, hear or touch them. While emotions were a part of some rituals, they were always expressed tangibly. Only feeling an emotion without expressing it would likely not count as an offering. Feelings are neutral and amoral, it is our actions that can be judged. While it may be true that Aphrodite inspired unwanted feelings in myth, myths were not taken as real. Your intentions for offering this feeling to Her can be morally judged, but I nor anyone else can say if Aphrodite would like it, that can only be answered by Her. I would suggest trying divination!
