< baby Mateo trying to befriend Rufus 3
"but have you read the classics?"
ive read the classics. (mlm version)
Sirius *I think your house is haunted,Your dad is always mad and that must be why*Black
James* I think you should come live with me and we can be pirates then you won't have to cry or hide in the closet* Potter
Idk if this is late, bUt the day Maneskin won, Nico didn't let the whole camp sleep because he was just screaming along the lyrics with them
Au where Remus and Regulus own a bookstore/library together and across the street James and Sirius own a record store
Peter is a regular customer in both places
Let’s talk more about accents in the Riordanverse!
• Percy with rounded New York vowels and that quick run-together way of saying his sentences. Percy with an accent you can’t quite place until he orders some coffee or water.
• Annabeth with a Virginia drawl and long vowels that don’t quite go away, even after years on Long Island Sound. Annabeth, who will randomly spit out phrases like “nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs”, whose cup always fills with sweet tea in the mess hall/
• Carter with a fairly standard American accent until he pronounces a word so bizarrely it’s clear he must have learned it halfway across the globe. Carter, who gets slightly antsy in the same place for too long and goes to language classes at night just for an excuse to practice.
• Sadie with a London accent that’s begun to fade after years in Brooklyn House, who accidentally says “cheers” when people hold the door for her. Sadie, who skips over her t’s and who drops consonants and, like Carter, isn’t exactly sure where her home is.
• Magnus and Alex with strong Boston accents and nasally a’s that Hearth is glad he can’t hear. Magnus, whose accent gets stronger in battle, who intentionally leans into it when he’s on the West Coast. Alex, who makes people guess where she’s from and tells them something different every time, who argues with Magnus over whose accent is stronger.
• Jason Grace with languid California vowels, who drops the end of every word when he’s relaxed and over-enunciates when he’s in charge. Jason, whose accent is only present when he’s comfortable.
• Leo Valdez with a Texan accent to boot and quick clipping consonants, whose accent sounds nearly the same as Annabeth’s to the untrained ear, but insists that they’re completely different every time someone brings it up.
• Hazel Levesque with a thick New Orleans accent, whose vocabulary is peppered with French and old-fashioned phrases and the occasional Southern saying. Hazel, who sticks to Deep South manners (and passive-aggression, when necessary), who orders in French when she goes to a bakery and watched old black-and-white movies when she feels homesick.
• Frank, who sounds American except for when he says “sorry”, who speaks a bit of Canadian French (which Hazel hates, because she can’t understand it), and gets teased every time he says “about”.
• Piper with a slight valley-girl sound that she’s worked hard to get rid of, but tends to slip into when she’s tired or angry. Piper, whose voice becomes sweet and soothing in charmspeak, who understands every fluctuation and intonation and how to use them to her advantage.
• Nico di Angelo with a seemingly standard American accent, until you pick up on the odd transatlantic pronunciation or Italian rolled “r”. Nico with an arsenal of phrases so jumbled and eclectic that people do a double take when he talks.
Just. Yeah. Riordanverse accents.
I just realized the solangelo book title "the sun and the star" fits perfectly bc their going to Tartarus for Bob and Bob asked Percy & Annabeth to "tell the sun and the stars hello for me" 😭
what really got to me about the barbie movie is how the movie is really about how there is still a little girl inside all of us, and when you walk around the movie theater and see all these grown women dressed in pink and visibly excited, it's a reminder of that. but moreso, it's how your mother is a little girl too. and that all comes together in the end when barbie meets her creator. barbie was made so ruth's daughter could be anything she wanted to be, and she named her after her. in the end when ruth helps barbie become human, she is her mother. and when in the end barbie introduces herself as barbara, she is her daugher again. you can be anything, but being human and mortal and imperfect is the greatest gift of all.
I work at a movie theater.
And personally? To be in the tickets booth, and see young girls, teenagers, adult women, coming in to see Barbie,
the most highlighter pink outfits, some of them coming in with the dolls they’re dressed as, laughing to each other, cheering for each other,
to see the men they’re coming to see it with, dressed in pink, cheering them on, taking their pictures with smiles and cheers in the lobby at the photo op
touches something so deep in me
I can’t say any nuances of the movie that haven’t already been said, but like, fuck man, love is so deep and so kind and to be able to see glimpses of it from behind my little ticket desk makes me a little less nihilistic.
WOLFSTAR GIRLDADS!!!!
Okay so this is cassie (oc) she’s wolfstar’s adopted werewolf daughter, i’ve seen this headcanon floating around and it just made me really soft. I made her a while ago with some friends and she’s very special to me, so bc of that i also ask that if you use her please give me credit. It would make me really sad to see her get stolen:(
Also this background took fucking forever omg but it was worth it🤍
Random things from the Riordanverse that make me blink when I remember them or read them (no specific order):
Sally Jackson straight up murdering her abusive husband (good for her).
Rachel hitting Kronos in the eye with the hairbrush and running away.
Annabeth being most likely a Legacy of Frey.
That hunter named Hunter.
Sadie Kane's two boyfriends being fused into one guy.
Frank being related to Xu Fu.
Jack flirting with Riptide.
Magnus beating Loki by basically telling him “I love my friends and you suck”.
Annabeth being 5'11 at 13.
Apollo canonically tried to hook up with Frey but Jack ruined it.
Will being able to glow in the dark.
Annabeth knowing Sadie's secret name.
Percy being fused with an Egyptian goddess that one time.
Taylor Swift being half dwarf and probably related to Freya.
What TOA taught me is that gods Do Not have red flags. Apollo could see a pretty dude doing homicide and think “Oh! What a fun little personality quirk” and twirl his hair and giggle.
