This Is Why We Stan Percy

Okay lots of people don’t like Dizzie (Daring/Lizzie) and say they have no chemistry. Which is fair IN THE TV SERIES. but I’m a wonderlandiful world? Even tho Darings barely in it he still has so much chemistry with Lizzie. Maybe it’s just my theatre kid heart (hahaha) but like they’re so adorable.

AND WHEN LIZZIE KNIGHTED HIM.

Okay minor spoilers for a wonderlandiful world, I’m going to put some of my favourite Dizzie quotes from there.

“Now, kneel.”

Cedar was surprised to see Daring do so without argument.

Through some twist of magic, Lizzie’s butter knife had enlarged with him, now as big as a sword. She picked it up, solemnly touching its flat side to each of Daring’s shoulders.

“I knight you a defender of Wonderland, Sir Daring Charming. Heroic, loyal, fuzzy doom.”

“Yes, exactly like a pirate,” Lizzie said. “I would be much more comfortable speaking with you if you were a pirate.”

Briar put a finger to her chin, considering, and promptly glided to the ground, fast asleep.

“Arrr, Lizzie Hearts! Have ye killed Briar Beauty?” a voice asked from behind.

Daring Charming sauntered up and saluted her. He’d been so accommodating with her pirate request that Lizzie felt certain her mother couldn’t disapprove of their friendship.

“Aren’t you supposed to be racing?” Lizzie asked.

“No rush,” he said. “I always win. Even when I don’t.” He winked at her. “Ahoy, matey.”

“Daring swooped into a royal bow and said, “Be still, my heart! A fair princess has arrived!” And, strangely, he was looking at Lizzie, not Apple. Daring’s complimentary, showy stuff seemed to set the Ever After girls’ lashes aflutter, but Lizzie raised an eyebrow.

“If your heart were still, Mr. Charming,” she said, “then you would be dead.”

“Excuse me?” Daring asked.

“You said ‘be still, my heart,’ thereby commanding your heart to stop beating,” said Lizzie. “If your heart is obedient, I expect you to drop dead at my feet.”

Daring stared at Lizzie. He opened his mouth and seemed surprised when a chuckle escaped it. Lizzie smirked. She didn’t often hear Daring Charming chuckle.”

Off with its head!” shouted Lizzie.

Daring drew his sword with a flash of steel and an equally brilliant flash of a white-toothed smile.

“I’m just the prince for the job,” he said.

Lizzie smiled in surprise that someone was actually taking her seriously.

Daring winked

Lizzie lifted one hand, posing as she had on the amphitheater’s stage. “I

have returned, Boreas, wind-herder, to watch you writhing in the agony of age and death.”

Daring laughed heroically. “What a battle. Bards will sing of my deeds! Or perhaps a pop singer. Do you listen to Katy Fairy?”

“I do not!” Lizzie said grandly. “But I shall listen to her squalling posthaste as you are my friend, and friends recommend music to each other!

The audience gasped. Lizzie smiled. Maybe this strutting-about-a-stage business wasn’t so bad. She glanced at the anxious face of Headmaster Grimm for inspiration and decided to make up a few more lines. “I will not be the daughter who does nothing but watch her wrinkled father writhe with the agony of age and death, your voice slowly becoming more nasal and oddly high-pitched, as if you were being strangled by a possum or a really weak octopus or something.”

Daring pressed his lips together, valiantly attempting to hold back a laugh, and ultimately failing.

Darabella, Darise, Dapple or Farring could never. Also Dizzie technically got the beauty and the beast (well daring as a beast and Lizzie is always obviously beautiful) arc first. Even if it was sadly under developed.

Anyways Shannon Hale obviously ships Dizzie (well probably idk if she’s said anything on the matter) and it’s the best Daring ship. I suppose Kizzie (Kitty x Lizzie) kind of comes close but they just don’t have that romantic tension like her and daring do.

Anyways I think more people should appreciate them.

SO TRUE!

Those people are the type of to say that Luke got into Elysium

I made the mistake of going on the r/camphalfblood subreddit and there were people angrily slandering my daughter Drew for the “Silena was a traitor” comment and saying that they hated her and some people were joking about Clarisse/Percy beating her up or even killing her. It makes me so mad because while I can understand being mad at Drew for that statement, a lot of the hatred felt really out of line and like they were just itching for an excuse to hate her and hurl the most vile of insults at her as much as possible. And it’s messed up because it’s clearly the fault of Rick for victim-blaming Silena and putting those words in Drew’s mouth, and I can guarantee you that if Drew was a guy then people would say “oh how dare Rick make him say that? He’s awful but he’s not that awful! Drew deserved so much better rip my boy Rick could have fleshed him out beyond being just a bully but he didn’t” but because she’s a girl all of the culpability falls on her shoulders and she gets treated like the scum of the earth for a line that Rick only gave her to make her look like the worst of the worst because he REFUSES to write her as a person with any depth beyond the Asian Airhead primadonna feminine mean girl trope. It just sucks man Drew deserves so much better she deserves intersectional feminist writers who aren’t racially misogynistic scumbags and will let her get the character development arc that she deserved. This turned out longer than I thought it would but oh well I’m just salty about the hate for my girl Drew again. 😤

Pjo be getting more mad at women for reacting badly to abuse than at men for abusing women💀💀💀💀💀

Bring me fortune oh great potato 🥔

Piper and Drew NEEDED to throw hands with each other in The Lost Hero!!! But let's be honest, if they did then Piper wouldn't have won AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL

Aphrodite cabin

I recently got into the Percy Jackson Fandom and right now I’m honestly just pretty disappointed about the Aphrodite cabin and its wasted potential.

The Aphrodite cabin could have been a place where people are loving no matter what and where people see how beautiful you are because the children of Aphrodite know that beauty is more than beauty standards. I could have been a place where you can go and not get judged.

The Aphrodite cabin could have been a Loving and beautiful place.

I know that part of this may come from everyone expecting the children of Aphrodite to be a certain way but I just think that it’s kind of sad.

The Aphrodite cabin could have been a place to teach young children about love and that love isn’t only romantic and that everyone is beautiful.

back with my tkc rotations. thoughts on tanakane? (if i already asked you this and just don't remember, ignore me lol) (also ps i made a post on transmasc!zia and it's full of my transmasc experiences, if u wanna check that out)

I think we've definitely talked about it on Discord before but that's okay because every hours is Tanakane Hours!!

For those of you who haven't read The Kane Chronicles, Sadie Kane and Drew Tanaka (from Heroes of Olympus) go to the same school and there is that mean-girl dynamic between them. I see Sadie as being very "ugh i hate her she thinks shes so cool with her lustrous hair and milky skin and beautiful eyes and flawless appearance!!! this emotion is definitely hatred!!" Bi in Denial.

I like to imagine that something attacks the school one day and both Sadie and Drew are trapped together and mutually like "ugh now i have to protect this bitch."

Anyway, I'd have to go back and re-read, but iirc Drew's charmspeak didn't come up much in her brief appearances and I found that pretty surprising. Surely Sadie must have noticed how persuasive Drew can be. A lot of Sadie's frustration with her could easily come from how often authority figures seem to capitulate to Drew's demands, no matter how absurd.

Anyway I imagine Aphrodite looking down on the sexual tension between her daughter and this Egyptian, eagerly munching popcorn.

Random PJO thought: Would a mosquito die if they drink a demigods blood? Since Like- you know, they're half divine OR would they become ✨Super Mosquitoes✨

tell me this isn't them

Drew: you want to hear a gay joke? Malcolm: not really, but I don't think that's going to stop you Drew: you're right, now, drumroll please Malcolm: no Drew: Connor Stoll Malcolm: what Connor: i'm her gay joke Malcolm: *looks appraisingly* Malcolm: that was pretty good. it would have been better if she'd shoved you in a closet for you to come out of. Drew: this is why we're friends Connor: no, this is why lee hates us Drew: can't it be both?

dumping a bunch of misc. ever after high stuff i’ve drawn in the past few months on here.

excuse the quality of these, they’re the oldest ones. i have a handful. the more recent ones are a lot better.
