you can always start over. you can always catch up. you can still be who you dream of being. it’s not too late for you.
annabeth was written as a smart blonde to break the "dumb blonde" stereotype. annabeth being black is still breaking down stereotypes as black women and girls are often ignored and undermined in academic spaces

No joke.
TODD ANDERSON FROM DEAD POETS SOCIETY?????
Can’t stop thinking about Cameron and Charlie actually being friends. Like they were roommates, do you know how much potential that has??? So, because I am on a tangent I would like to share a few thoughts:
- Charlie seems like he would be the kind of person to throw pens at Cameron when he wants his attention. So the floor is always littered in pens much to the annoyance of both of them because Cameron won’t pick them up.
-Cameron found out that Charlie could play the saxophone when Charlie would play a single, very loud note when he was too deep into studying and didn’t notice the pens bouncing off his shoulder.
-They wear roughly the same size of shoes and when in a hurry they’ve been known to accidentally take the others and then complain about it for the rest of the day.
-The rest of the poets are tired™ of their bickering only because they know that it means nothing to either of them
-I think I may have read this headcanon elsewhere, but them starting a podcast.
-Their energies would balance it out so nicely, maybe do it on obscure parts of history
-Charlie would bring in snacks and brush the crumbs off his bed, into his hand, and then put them directly onto Camerons pillow. (Cameron would just take off the pillow case because he is sensible like that)
-I want Camerons parents to love Charlie, maybe they’ve met him at the first day of school assembly thing.
-Better yet Charlie didn’t want to go home for the holidays and instead of admitting it was bothering him to the rest of the poets (and Charlie and mr.perry sounds like a nightmare for neil) Cameron just casually says that he could stay at his house for the break.
-Which creates the power duo that is camerons mom and Charlie.
-If it was modern day they’d snapchat each other daily
-Charlie is in the family groupchat
I got ahead of myself, but anyway. I just love them together as friends and think it is unexplored potential.
obsessed with the way that gothic horror is about horror but never directly. it’s not horrific because there’s a haunted house and that’s scary, it’s horrific because the monster isn’t a monster, it’s your grief, your loss, your pride, your desire, your fear. the monster skulking in the shadows, the darkness at the edge of the woods, the haunted house that is too broken to be a home—those are manifestations of events that grabbed onto the fabric of time in a fit of abject horror and clamped down so tightly that they couldn’t keep moving forward toward resolution and eventual dissipation like they were supposed to. it’s all about the scared child and the mourning mother and the hunger in your gut and the little emptiness in your chest at the end of the day. those things are all little horrors but you can’t approach them directly to understand them, so gothic horror gives us these little metaphors and says “here play with these for a while and see what you find.” and all of those metaphors need someone to go back to childhood to release them. you have to care, and be curious and clever, and look for a way to heal the hurt. you have to be so achingly human to survive in gothic horror
