Psh, This Party Sucks *teleports To The Cactus Dimension* Oh I Don't Like It Here

10 year old me was like when wings sprout from my spine then you’ll see.. you’ll all see…

(Will and Nico are shopping)

Will: Nico go get the buggy

Nico, very confused: They still make those?

Will: Um, yes...

Nico: But we have cars and buggies have been out of fashion for like a hundred years

Will: ...

Will: I meant shopping cart

Nico: Then why didn't you say shopping cart?

Will: 'Cause it's called a buggy

Nico: I have never heard anyone call it a buggy.

Will: That's because you speak Yankee English.

Nico: You're just messing with me

Will: LEO! Help me!

Leo: Hey Will what do you need?

Will: Is it a shopping cart or a buggy?

Leo: A buggy

Will: See it's a buggy I spoke clearly

Nico: Are you sure you aren't pranking me?

Will: Ask literally any Southern demigod

Nico: Okay Annabeth is it a shopping cart or a buggy?

Annabeth: Shopping cart

Will: WHAT NO

Nico: You ARE pranking me!

Wil: I THOUGHT YOU WERE FROM VIRGINIA

Annabeth: I am it's a shopping cart

Will: You've spent too much time around Percy I'm going to have to Southernize you

Annabeth: Percy, is it a shopping cart or a buggy?

Percy, only hearing the last word: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stroller

Annabeth, Will, Nico, and Leo: !?!?!?!?

Annabeth: Seaweed Brain did you hear what I said?

Percy: Yes

Annabeth: No you didn't. Is it a shopping cart or a buggy?

Percy: Oh a shopping cart

Will: Good he's not insane

Percy: You could put your groceries in a stroller tho

Leo: I am totally doing that next time I go to the store

veil's been thin these past few days. anyone else notice that the veil's been thin these past few days

toxic spotify generated playlists like "most skipped" "least favourite of your followed artists" "songs the furthest away from your preferred genre"

One of my favorite responses in my Social Interaction Toolkit is:

"Why do you ask?"

Allistic people tend to ask one question when they actually mean something quite different (this is one of many ways in which allistic people are strange and exotic). So when I don't want to hazard guessing, my default response is to cheerfully respond to ambiguous questions with "Why do you ask?"

Usually if I do it casually, people don't notice I didn't answer the original question, and instead move on to their Actual Question. (Also works if you just prefer to give noncommittal answers.) Very very basic example but:

Person: "Are you busy/what are you doing this weekend?"

You (too tired to guess-and-then-calculate-an-emotional-slash-external-response based on if this is a prelude to a social invitation, an acquaintance asking for a favor, a coworker asking to trade shifts, boss wanting you to work overtime, etc): *vague but friendly smile* Why do you ask?

Person: Well I wanted to know if....

Very useful shortcut/cheatcode

The early years for me but I think that might just be because I’ve read it more recently. I think it’s shorter so it’s just more consistently good and also most of my favourite characters are in there but I love the depth that Rangers Apprentice goes into about things it’s just so nice :). And I haven’t really started reading much of RR so can’t really give thoughts on it yet

I have a question for the RA fandom:

What is your favourite series?

The early years

Rangers apprentice

The royal ranger

I'm very curious :)

writing romance is even more wild it’s like I don’t know why the hell these words go together but they sure as heck seem to make people cry

being loveless and being able to enjoy romance in fiction is so fucking wild

its like, i have no concept of what love even is, i fundamentally cannot understand it, but you can be damn sure i’ll cry my eyes out during the lesbian wedding in the video game i like

My ex took my orb when we broke up. She never even scried with it, so I think she’s just using it to put under her dress and pretend to be pregnant so she gets better seats on the bus and subway. That was the same thing I was gonna do, but it’s not fair
