Oh, yk what else they have in common? So much suffering and them not ending up together:')
I was today years old when I realized Percico has the exact same age gap as Romeo and Juliet.
It means absolutely nothing, but it's neat to think about.
There really is no denying that Percabeth are soulmates like Annabeth has all these trust issues and abandonment issues and she finds someone who’s FATAL FLAW IS THAT HE IS TOO LOYAL?! Like he will literally never betray her or abandon her. Percy never thinks he’s good enough for anything or anyone and Annabeth may not be the first person to see his potential, but she’s the first person to make him believe it. Annabeth believes in Percy even when he doesn’t believe in himself. Like they were made for each other and no one else
Annabeth was this little when she ran away from home wait 🥺
You know what I was thinking about when Luke told Percy how you burn what you'll miss most to talk to the gods and then Percy offered his blue candy because that's what he'll miss most? I had initially assumed he'd talk to Poseidon and maybe blame him but then he was talking go Sally and I was like, how dumb of me, he's talking to the stronger one, lmao
I am so happy that Percy is a criminal in live action as well. Does it serve anything to the plot? Doubtful. It does, however, serve in building Percy's reputation as a goddamn MENACE and I'm here for it
🤌🏻
“It’s you I love. I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”
Holly Black - Cardan Greenbriar, The Queen of Nothing.
"Cardan stands over me. His jacket is thrown on a nearby chair, the velvet soaked through with some dark substance. His white sleeves are pulled up, and he's washing my hands with a wet cloth. Getting the blood off of them"- The Queen of Nothing (Ch. 17)
Can I talk about this scene for a moment, because it really shows how much Cardan loves Jude. Here is a man who had been raised as a spoiled, neglected, cruel prince, caring for a mortal girl. He is helping her when she is in pain, and he is by her side even though he is High King of the Fae, and she is an (though technically not anymore) exiled mortal. He could have easily called for a servant to clean her, he could have given her her own room, he could have left her side, left her to die on the table. But no, here he is, lowering him self to her side, abandoning all the egotistical ways of thinking he was taught, and doing such a simple action, however unfitting of a king, because he doesn't trust anyone else with her to do it right.
Prompt #3
Okay so we all know this:
Hero: I'll save the world even if I have to sacrifice myself.
Villain: I'll burn this world down for you.
But what about this:
Hero 1: I'll save the world even if I have to sacrifice myself.
Hero 2: I'll burn this world down if it meant you're by my side as long as I breathe.
