The Way They’re Holding Back The First “seaweed Brain” Like It’s A Bass Drop Bc They Know It

OK, I KNOW!!! HE DIDN'T TRAIN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT HIS DISAPPOINTMENT TO BE WORSE. LIKE, IF HE HAD AND THEN STILL FAILED THEN IN THE END IT WOULD HAVE PROVEN THAT HE JUST WASN'T CUT OUT FOR IT. HOWEVER IF HE DIDN'T TRAIN, HE COULD KEEP TELLING HIMSELF THAT IT MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT FOR HIM IF HE HAD TRAINED!!! HE GAVE UP SO HE WOULDN'T BE HURT BY FAILURE. AND NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT HE, AS A PERSON, CHANGED SO MUCH TO BECOME WHO HE IS NOW AND MAYBE THAT LITTLE BABY IZUKU COULDN'T FACE THE FACT THAT HE COULDN'T. AGHHHHHH

Ok but realistically speaking, what the hell was Izuku thinking when he decided he wanted to be a hero? It's not just that he doesn't have a quirk, dude just went on and on fanboying and not even physically training himself to make his body the strongest it could get without a quirk?? He thought he could have gone by just with the knowledge he had of heroes? Like, don't you think that Izuku Midoriya, that hardworking cinnamon roll, didn't think of the fact that maybe if he worked on his physical strength he had higher chances of becoming a hero than he had if he didn't train himself? And if he had, then he would have gotten ready for OFA faster and then would have had time to get used to the quirk and his development overall would have been so different, like, really.

“I think of Cardan tied to a chair to cheer myself up. Then I think of the way he looked up at me through the curtain of his crow-black hair, of the curling edge of his drunken smile, and i don’t feel in the least bit comforted.” (Chap 23, Pg 279)

This quote is from when Jude and Taryn got into that fight after the failed coronation, when Jude found out about Locke and Taryn.

It funny how Jude’s thoughts go straight to Cardan. She attemps to cheer herself up at her accomplishment for having him hostage and as her prisoner. Instead she thinks of the way he LOOKED AT HER, and his SMILE.

Poor jude was head over heels for this man for soooo long, yet she didn’t know it and kept denying it the entire series until TQON. She confused her love for cardan with hate since the beginning of TCP. There’s so many quotes from Jude that the readers perceive are filled with hate.

For example:

“And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest, with black hair as iridescent as a raven’s wing and cheekbones sharp enough to cut out a girls heart. I hate him mora than the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breath” (Chap 4, Pg 30)

LIKE HELLO???

“When I look at him, I can hardly breath.”

Jude has had a crush on Cardan since the beginning of the book. But her drive was all directed to hate. She wanted to be better than him, she wanted to humiliate him.

AND CARDAN WAS GOING THROUGH THE EXACT SAME THING.

Cardan has had a crush on Jude for a long time (even when he was in a relationship with Nicasia, i’ll make a separate post on their relationship later) Yet, he envied her for being a mortal and having the things he couldn’t have even as the prince of Elfhame. He admitted to wanting her out of his sight so he could stop feeling the way he did.

Both Jude and Cardan were enemies because of their differences. There was a lot of misunderstanding. Both of them assumed things that weren’t true. Both of them were going through struggles. And In the end, they realized they were more similar than they thought.

(sorry for the typos! it’s really late, and im half asleep, and YES IM RE READING THIS BOOK AGAIN, expect more analysis post for the folk of the air series)

Hello there!! So a few nights ago I was just thinking about how it's kind of ridiculous that we call Tamlin a tampon. Because a tampon is actually kind of useful, ykwim? And then I was like, but we needed Tamlin so that Feyre would go to Prythian. And then I was like, "Yeah, and you gotta throw away a used tampon cuz it gets toxic, just like Tamlin did" and idk if this was it, but that made me realize that this is it

List of “gushing to your friends about the person you’re literally head over heels in love with” prompts

Requested by: Anonymous Request: “any chance you could prompts A telling their friends that they have a crush on B?”

“Okay, we get it — you’re in love with [insert Character B’s name]. You don’t have to keep reminding us.”

“Have you ever thought about telling them about how you feel instead of like… Telling us about it?” “Um, no, because I don’t want to embarrass myself and I’d rather fangirl/fanboy over them from a distance.” 

“Oh, what I would give to talk to them…” “Huh? Then… Talk to them? I don’t understand why you’re making it sound like such a dilemma—”

“I had the most romantic dream about them.” “Oh God, here we go again…”

“With the way you talk about them, do you ever stop to consider that maybe your feelings run deeper than you seem to realise?”

“If they think they’re the best thing to have graced planet Earth then they’d be absolutely right.”

“If they called and told me they needed me right now, I’d drop everything and run to them.”

“They own me.” “That sounds weird, but sure.”

“I don’t believe in being a simp for anyone but yourself, but hear me out—”

“I will do whatever it takes to win their heart.” “I’ll do whatever it takes for you to stop saying that and actually do something.”

But you know what he still did? Blindly trusted that Grover couldn't possibly be the friend who betrays him from the prophecy. It never even crossed his mind that Grover had stood against him even if it was for protecting him. Because, I mean, I don't think any friend would just accept it that easily. Ykwim?

Percy’s face when Sally mentioned Grover playing a role in getting him kicked out of school…

The way his face scrunches up really tight before relaxing? That’s anger.

But not the kind of anger we see in him in the last episode.

This is the kind of anger that makes you cry. The kind that’s underpinned by embarrassment and hurt and feeling like you’ve been treated unfairly.

Percy knows he didn’t push Nancy into the fountain and he thought that, if anyone would have his back, it was going to be Grover. And then he didn’t. And it’s unfair to Percy. It’s Wrong. Because no one believes him, apparently not even his best friend.

And the way he closes his eyes and takes a really deep breath? That’s a tactic that’s literally recommended to stop yourself from crying when you’re angry. It allows your body to “catch up” with your mind.

What do you wanna bet that Percy learned that from a school counselor?

actually you have a mama's boy and then you have whatever the hell percy jackson is because that kid PRAYED to his MOM instead of his father who's an actual god .

Things Percy Jackson remembers in Son of Neptune:

Annabeth exists

I met Annabeth at a camp

Annabeth and I kiss sometimes

Fuck Ares

It’s the casual way Mobius sets his chaotic boyfriend The God of Mischief loose on everyone. Mobius is so attuned to Loki, he immediately knows how he’s going to react, offering him a gentle warning or permission to proceed. And Loki carefully waits for that permission before he acts, implying this is a familiar dynamic that’s been established beforehand.
