being suicidal and living for others is the most drowning feeling ever.
why can’t i find a reason to live for myself?
this has been in my head ever since i read Tower of Nero but what if... (ToN spoiler up next)
Reyna and Thalia end up becoming the next owners of the Waystation bc they fall in love😍
they learn how to work it and take it over it from Emmie and Jo bc Georgina graduates high school and they want to retire😫🤚
heart: melted
Bruce: *passing by with Dick hugging him koala style*
Jason, confused: Why...?
Bruce: He used the "I miss my mom" card on me
Jason:
*10 minutes later*
Bruce, sitting on the couch being held tightly by Dick and Jason: Hi, Tim
Tim: *passing by* Hey, B-
Tim:
Tim: Should I ask?
Bruce: No, I'm not falling for that again
Tim: ??

don't give up
hey if u can’t drive/are a slow learner due to a disability or mental illness, just picture historical figures like pirates or the founding fathers trying to operate a car.
it’s only “easy” bc we’ve normalized it.
Just in case
can you do touch starved prompts?
List of touch starved prompts
Character A clinging onto Character B whenever they’re together, not wanting to let go.
Heart palpitations whenever Character B so much as brushes their hand against Character A’s.
Feeling warm all over whenever Character B initiates any sort of physical contact with them.
“To what do I owe the pleasure of being hugged so tightly by you?”
“Can you [insert act of physical contact] with me? Please?”
Character A craving for Character B to have some sort of physical contact with them and whenever they do get that physical contact, they physically melt because of it.
Mind racing with about a million thoughts whenever Character B touches them.
Daydreaming about Character B cuddling them, day in, day out.
“What do you need from me right now?” “Well, I just… I need you to hold me.”
“Is this too much?” “It’s not. I’m just… I’m not used to this is all.”
Xisuma is simultaneously everyone's sugar baby and sugar daddy. He gives everyone anything they need without batting an eye but the second Keralis gives him one diamond he's blushing and stammering. They all enjoy giving him gifts because they absolutely love his reaction, and they feel they need to pay him back for everything he's done for them.
Xisuma is just generous. He doesn’t NEED anything back, don’t you see? But it’s still so sweet when the hermits give him gifts that he needs. He loves feeling cared about.

Ok but like has anyone ever considered trans Reyna??? Just hear me out for a second:
The day his son came out to him was the day Mr. Ramirez lost his cool
Hylla always defended her now little sister, and that’s what made Mr. Ramirez absolutely lose his gosh dang mind.
Reyna’s name used to be Reynaldo (In my opinion)
Both Reyna and Hylla were really happy because on Circe’s island the siblings got to stay together (seeing how Reyna was now a girl, and wasn’t turned into a guinea pig)
Nico being the first person to know, (obviously) and she told him on their statue quest
Reyna stuffing her bra to try to stay inconspicuous, and Frank one day walking in on her doing so (cuz it’s Frank let’s be honest) and keeping her secret for YEARS before she finally comes out to the rest
Reyna trying to FORCE herself to speak with a higher voice (I’ve always imagined she had a lower voice anyway)
When she finally does come out to everyone, she’s a sobbing, shaking mess of a human being, and her friends feel so bad that she was scared to tell them and make her cookies or something idk (probably Percy and Hazel who did that)
