It's so funny how Peepers and Sylvia's first team-up in The Battle Royale goes absolutely nowhere. Peepers just rides her for a while and then gets blasted into oblivion.

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.
Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.
Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.
Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

It's endlessly funny to me that some poor alien in One Minute War is going to be forced to write a threat assessment on Earth's active defenses and it's going to solely consist of two seniors, an adult, two young adults, one pregnant young adult and seven minors aged ~4-17.
Normally threat assessments and war intel is focused on access to supplies, number of soldiers, strategic locations, known routes, training/education, gear, weapons, vehicles, allies, political landscapes, relevant history, ect.
This threat assessment is going to be a book report on the Flash family. That's all they have to go off of. The strategic advantage is that the kid's bedtime is at 7:30. The relevant war history will be that one of the 100+ year olds was a military messenger in the 17th century and the other 100+ year old was a special operative contracted during World War 2. Four college diplomas, four report cards, a Flash museum pamphlet and a collection of mint edition Flash comics are submitted as evidence. The list of tactical gear consists of a cool ring and sneakers. For 'political landscape' they write about Jai's journal entries which suggest that there is great turmoil among Earth's ranks over who does the dishes on any given night. This is marked as having potential for psychological warfare.

the worst part about being from a very deeply mixed family with parents that are super in denial is being super into looking into your own heritage & family cultures and then you have 1 conversation w your parents ...... and youre reminded of the dull reality that they think theyre crackers

to whoever was on red team defending badwater last at 2am in the morning: i love you.
3 different teammates immediately chewed out this one pyro that was #1 on the leaderboard for making a slightly nagging comment towards the medic who was literally #2 on the leaderboard anyway.
(The medic was me)
(Thank you for defending my honor)
(Sometimes a found family is a casual badwater last red team and I think that’s beautiful)

ok she sets him on the counter for real this time :) [ from @piousolus ]
Unprompted || ALWAYS accepting
Sora's initial emotion is surprise. Sure, he knows girls are strong, but she's not that much bigger than him, and doesn't look like she could so easily lift him. With her slim frame it sort of takes him off guard. (Of course, appearances can be deceiving.) He literally felt like a little kid again for a second. ("Mom???")
Then it's annoyance. Sora is used to this kind of treatment. Heck, he'll even jump on his friends and ask to be picked up sometimes, because it's fun. In this particular situation, though...
"Aqua... I appreciate the concern, but... I have shoes on, and I know to be careful. A piece of glass isn't gonna hurt me."
He's so embarassed.
