Haven’t I Given Enough, Given Enough?

Rewatching the scene where Claire calls Carmy and asks him to repeat his actual phone number and the way he hesitates you could’ve told me there was somebody holding gun to his head and I would’ve believed you

😲 

Can’t wait to see more of this sad little man in season 3

Just saw The Iron Claw and I’m not okay.

June is not close enough I need season 3 tomorrow

Busy thinking about how in The Hunger Games trilogy there is no chosen one trope and despite all the theories Prim wasn’t intentionally reaped (also because no totalitarian government with common sense would purposely nationally televise a girl with the influence to start an uprising against their oppression) Katniss Everdeen was a random face plucked from the masses of district twelve when she decided to volunteer for her sister at the reaping. She went into that arena so her little sister didn’t have to. She fought for her life again and again all whilst trying to keep Peeta alive just to find out they’d been lied to and someone had to die. So of course she was angry and of she course she said fuck you and fuck your games either we both go home or we both die and you have no victor. The Capitol obviously wasn’t thrilled when this happened and even less so when the districts saw it as an act defiance towards the Capitol and started rebelling and thus the Rebellion was sparked and soon after Katniss Everdeen became the face of it (even though she all she wanted was to save her sister and keep Peeta alive) and the Mockingjay was born. Because after all if a girl from district twelve of all of places could stand up to the Capitol what was stopping the districts from doing the same

I think what they mean is, when you find someone you love, it feels like hope-Hot Preist, Flea Bag

So you’re going to look me in my EYES and tell ME that he made her the best meal shes EVER had and that dish was an act of defiance against his EC and his HEART on plate in the shape of a HEART and that dish went out to HER and it was the BEST meal she’s ever HAD and then you’re going to LIE to me and say that they’re NOT soulmates

Moc!Dean and Demon!Dean were such funny plotlines in retrospect because he was out here killing the worst people to have ever existed, like predators, traffickers, incels, old money southern white people (except for the Cyrus kid), that one deranged ex-man of letters and I’m supposed to be clutching my pearls and shaking. No!! Let him cook!! He was doing honest work until everyone else went and freaked out on him.

can’t stop thinking about percy’s claiming scene now let me hold on a second.

we have this child, who has barely just escaped death by a hellhound, seemingly being healed by water. the girl who kinda-sort-of-hates-him knows full well what is happening. his wounds heal. she mutters about how she didn’t want this to happen. this could only mean one thing. poseidon, they whisper. and sure enough, just above his head, is a holographic figure of a trident.

ngl i have chiron’s line memorized by now lol.

“earthshaker, stormbringer, father of horses. hail perseus jackson, son of the sea god.”

and it’s just beautiful imagery, because everyone bows to him. everyone, as in, even the ares kids who had just tried to kill him. and it hits different if you think about how technically, percy jackson is a sea prince. it hits different when you realize that in canon, no other demigod got this treatment. maybe it was because few children of poseidon existed in comparison to zeus, or that poseidon is seen as a more elemental and primordial god, therefore is shown more respect. it hits different when you realize that percy becomes a figure of respect and dignity.

whatever the case, this scene FUCKS ME UP. annabeth bows down, chiron bows down, luke bows down, clarisse bows down…and meanwhile, the kid in question is scared out of his goddamn mind. he just thinks: why are they treating me this way? i don’t want this power. i don’t want this attention. i don’t want respect. because, here’s the thing—he’s not used to it.

but from then on…percy will be treated this way, like royalty, bc technically he is. his father is the ruler of the seas, and the ocean has always been feared, has always been respected and admired. and not only that, but he grows into that power. it’s so interesting to see this little boy who was just told, in the most dramatic way possible, who his father is—and then see a dramatic change in his character during botl when he wants more power as he cleans the horse stables in texas and realizes that the sea was inside of him all this time. that he is unrestrained. it’s so interesting to go from a little boy who wants nothing to do with his dad and his powers to a 16 year-old who sinks his sword into the williamsburg bridge and causes it to split in half. like his father did in athens. he commands armies, becomes his father’s son as he screams out when he realizes that michael yew is nowhere to be found, and so, with that scream, he makes the ground shake. he unleashes that power with titans, with gods, with monsters. and he cannot be stopped from then on, when he realizes that it’s inside him, that he has no choice but to want it. even if it scares him, at first.

so that claiming scene creates, in my mind, this domino effect on percy and his link to the ocean. to his father.

earthshaker, stormbringer…it all comes full circle. and the next time a group of demigods bow down to him, i can assure you that he’ll accept it, grimly. because what choice does he have? he is poseidon’s mortal son, and still he makes the ground shake and the seas rise to his command. he is the camp leader—but each day that his powers grow, everyone questions if he’s truly half human in the first place, or if he maybe belongs to the sea, as his father’s lieutenant like zeus had suggested in the first place.

and it all👏starts👏with👏that👏claiming👏scene
