I've Always Wondered Why The Romans Think Demigods All Of A Sudden Started Getting Claimed? They Couldn't

Holly really just picked 2 attempts at murder and declared them flirting and I am not over it to this day.

Ngl tho, "hot" will also be my 1st thought if someone like Jude, fkn JUDE DUARTE (ehum), would hold a knife to my throat, but yea-

Though I would prefer not to drown........bye-

"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.

“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.

Grover manipulating ares in that therapy session by pretending to hate kids and rolling his eyes as if he isn't just a single mom working tirelessly to stop his kids from murdering people on accident.

Just everyone thinking he's so peaceful and sweet and it takes 0.00001 seconds to commit psychological warfare with the GOD OF WAR HIMSELF.

THE FACT THAT

In this scene he was so sure she hated him and his guts to no extent. And then the scene proceeds off to her with her knife on his throat. I can't-

(Art's not mine. Idk whose. Tell me if it's yours and you want it taken down. I 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 be sad tho)

This part

Unique(obviously) . Excruciating(imagine him in constant 'pain' cuz he knows she hates him and he knows she isnt his and probably wont be) Alarming(imagine him alarmed everytime he sees her because hes just hit with how beautiful she is and how much unlike him and loved) Distressing(imagine him panicking because yup, he loves her, but she never will)

percy telling annabeth that them hugging was okay and then basically asking her out on a movie date in the span of a few hours... crush era is so prominent i will start to CRY and WAIL and SCREAM

one day you become an official searcher and the next youre in a wedding dress about to be married to a 10 foot tall one eyed man

so are we gonna ignore the fact that Rick Riordan wrote in Percy saying “find someone who loves you the way my girlfriend pushes me off a cliff. Without hesitation” knowing that in a couple months we’ll see a different take on a moment in their early relationship where Annabeth pushes Percy into water as he questions “what is wrong with you?”. Like is the growth from this suppose to be backshadowing? Reverse dramatic irony?
