fitz gets treated so badly by this fandom (especially on insta/pinterest) my god... i don't want to think about this but considering how shitty shannon's publishers seem to be she might be forced to ,, kill him off ,, i really really hope not but with how little character development hes been getting i get the feeling she's just stalling hh

ill always trust fitz over keefe. why? fitz reacts out of anger. it's his defense mechanism. he doesn't mean what he says and he admits he messed up and that he wasn't thinking. keefe, on the other hand, means every goddamn thing he does, and well... you can see why i'm wary

I can’t believe that “I must admit my defeat against such a power move” isn’t a response to a tumblr post but instead a completely serious line of dialogue during a one on one showdown

oh to be sitting on a tree branch blindfolded when a surprisingly strong yet shy maiden pins your hands to the tree and kisses you deeply only for you to later realise it was your cold and seemingly emotionless archenemy...

this hits different after That

Piper McLean and her boys Jason Grace and Leo Valdez.

I watched charlie’s angels and it was so good shut up >:(

For those who haven't read legacy...

i’ll be honest. it wasn't my fave at first. but now I love it so so much because it places a lot more importance on the other characters and the main plot rather than the love triangle that we’ve been waaay too focused on. in the end, who she ends up with really isn't the main plot and I think we all need to focus on what’s important and legacy helps us, and Sophie, do exactly that.

while some of these have been addressed, e.g. elves having a very short fertile period or something of the sort and hence not reproducing as often as humans, causing their population to be controlled, the rest of these issues definitely need clarification.

Some thoughts I have about the elves

+ Soo, the elves don’t have birthdays, instead they count their age from their “inception date” which is basically when the elf sperm met the elf egg right? And from that moment, they’re considered to be an elf. Are the elves pro-life? What happens when an elf doesn’t want a baby? Adoption rarely happens so does that mean an elf has to keep a child and raise it no matter if they wanted the kid or not? Seems a bit sus and kind of concerning 

+ Do elves get period cramps? They don’t experience pain from labor so how about periods? Humans seem to have very similar parts for making babies as elves (seeing as sophie’s mom was capable of carrying sophie’s embryo and forming her into a perfectly normal elf) 

+ Why are elves and humans so similar? Elves basically seem to be super-powered humans, so how did humans and elves become different? 

+ If elves behave and have similar needs to humans, what was the big deal about human medicine being used on Sophie? In general, it doesn’t seem to hurt humans, so what makes elves different? 

+ How was the humans betraying the elves such a big problem if the elves are so “vastly superior” How come the elves decided to leave most of the world to humans if they should be able to easily defeat them? Do humans have some sort of supressed abilities that pose a threat to the other sentient species? 

+ WHY HAVEN’T ELVES HELPED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE? This is a huge issue that would affect them too, so why aren’t they paying attention? This seems like something they should address. 

+ Why doesn’t the elven world seem to struggle with overpopulation? Humans struggle with this, and we are not essentially immortal. Elves rarely die, so why are they able to all live in huge mansions? Do elves get sent to space or something? 

+ What hides the Lost Cities from the humans? What measures do they have in place to prevent humans from seeing and entering their cities?

+ Why do elves not make music? What kind of culture do they have? So they read books, see plays, make art? 

+ What are elven customs? How do they celebrate weddings, and inception days, and other things like that? 

+ If matchmaking is in part to produce kids, how are same-sex couples treated?  Do they exist? (if they don’t exist, that REALLY sends a warning sign, considering elves are the “superior race”) 

+ Do gender-fluid, agender elves, and other elves on the gender specturm exist? 

+ Are there trans elves? How are they viewed/treated?

+ Do elves have mental illnesses like depression?

+ Are there disabled elves? 

Feel free to add more questions, this was all I could think of at the moment, but I’m sure there’s more.

am I the only one who’s noticed that every odd numbered book is sophitz centric and every even numbered book is sokeefe centric in conclusion Shannon loves riling us up only to turn the tides in the next book

honestly the character in legacy who needs to get their act together the most is sophie

everyone saying the match thing is just because she wants to be w fitz,, guys. do you understand what this means for her. even if youre talentless, in the lost cities, the one thing that unifies all of them is the right to a match list. and she cant even have that. is it really so wrong for her to want to feel less like an outcast and more ordinary, just this once? that’s why im a little ok w fitz saying it’s only logical she find her bio parents- even if it’s mostly for selfish reasons. and he apologises for that later, too. im saying that no one really understands the significance of the list to her and just telling her that matchmaking isn't important is not going to make her feel any less an outcast

the only reason the keeper fandom feels for keefe more than fitz although they essentially have the same issue of familial pressure is because keefe shows his weakness since he’s never had societal pressure to be perfect while fitz has learnt to hide it and present a perfect façade from the beginning, an essay by me

omf so THAT’S why I always loved fitz op you’re an angel for putting it into words

rereading keeper, exile

so i’ve mentioned before that i’m rereading keeper, and i’m only on exile lmao (so i’ll end up reading legacy before i finish my reread) but there’s a line in exile that bothers me. 

when we first see how much of a douche papa sencen is, we get this line: “sophie tried imagining living with that kind of expectation,” referring to Big Bad Dad’s unrealistic and outrageous expectations of keefe.

did i feel awful for the poor kid?? hell fucking yeah i did. i know what it’s like to have that kind of expectation weighing on you, even though my parentals don’t force shit on me like that. 

but that made me think of fitz. the golden boy. the boy who must uphold his family’s name and legacy. the boy who is under the overwhelming, societal pressure to be perfect, to be wonderboy. one wrong move… and his reputation is fucked. his family is fucked. and no offense to the sencens (yes offense) but as far as i know they ain’t as fucking important as the vackers apparently are. 

that’s also why i understand his anger, because not only is his brother a murdering dickwad, he’s still… free. of the expectation, of the pressure. he doesn’t give a damn. and i can imagine that fitz might be angry and feel awful and guilty that he might just be feeling… jealous that and awful person like alvar gets to be free. 

and then… i get sad. because this is never addressed. so i can’t wait to read legacy, because i want to see if shannon finally, finally, shows fitz dealing with all the awful shit in his life. he deserves a good arc, he deserves to be helped.

my poor, precious son.

tl;dr: fitz has awful pressure and expectation on his shoulders that is never fucking addressed, and he feels angry and guilty that he might be jealous of alvar’s freedom.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR LEGACY AHEAD

hot take but the main reason fitz freaked so bad was because sophie was literally not communicating at all. like his fuck ups were 

1. because of his upbringing (as a vacker, he can't imagine why one wouldn't apply for the match and settle for a bad match when there was another option, and her being hella tired meant she didn't explain jackshit. this wasn't either of their faults; it’s just what happened. and later, he does apologise for lashing out like that)

2. because he was already tired of how she shut him out this entire book because of her other commitments. think about it; his gf was seemingly actively avoiding him while hanging out w his best friend (who he knows has a crush on her) and when he makes the effort to reach out to her she just pretends that communication gap doesn't exist. it doesn't excuse the way he lashed out but we all know homeboy has anger issues but he recognises that and apologises for his mistakes sincerely and does his best to be who she needs him to be and that is why I will go down with this ship

but all in all im glad they decided to put off dating for a while everyone needs to get their act together

Jason and Fitz being some of my favourite characters says a lot about who I am as a person

rIGHT?? that’s the biggest problem I've always had w sokeefe- he keeps falling back on her inherent love and inability to be a bad person as an excuse to continue being self destructive and in the process bring everyone down w him

In the Lost Cities they don’t say “I love you”, they say “Please don’t hate me”, which means “I’m going to betray your trust and sell your secrets to the other side but you’ll forgive me instantly and I’ll get away with the emotional damage I caused you with zero consequences” and I think that’s beautiful.

can someone pls ask Shannon about the elven lgbtqia+ community 

Percy Jackson Died

Percy Jackson died.

He was old enough, he supposed, older than so many of his friends he’d watched die, but not really old. Old enough he was tired, and suddenly finding himself in the lobby he recognized from when he was twelve years old was disconcerting but not particularly surprising.

After all, he was a half-blood, and being a half-blood often got you killed in very nasty ways.

But still.

Percy Jackson died.

Charon remembered him.

“Drown in any bathtubs recently?” he asked dryly, but he waved Percy’s apologies for not having a coin to offer him. “You paid me for passage once and it clearly didn’t stick.”

So Percy Jackson died, and he crossed the River Styx on the ferry, and this time, when he arrived in the Underworld, Cerberus was completely visible.

Last time he came to the Underworld to see Hades, he’d entered the fast-moving line and stepped into the fields of Asphodel. This time, he waited in line to see the judges.

He’d saved the world more than once, they’d better give him something better than eternal stasis.

“Percy Jackson.” Daedalus greeted him warmly, arms full of blueprints and a full toolbelt wrapped around his waist. “It’s nice to see you again.”

Before Percy could respond, he was pushed to the front of the line and was standing in front of three men he had a feeling he should recognize but he didn’t. He didn’t have to speak at all, the three judges talked to each other while flipping through papers Percy couldn’t read, and without actually acknowledging him at all, the one in the middle hit a green button and Percy found himself on the inside of the gated community he’d only seen from the outside.

Percy Jackson died and was sent to Elysium. For a little while, it held his attention. Pretty much anything he wanted, he could have. Blue Coke, straight out of the bottle, better than the blue Coke at Camp Half-Blood. Pizza just like the pizza from his favorite place to go with his mom. Infinite activities, everything he’d ever wanted to do but hadn’t been able to when he was alive. Skydiving, cliff jumping, he got to pilot a plane.

He got to see old friends. Beckendorf and Selena Beauregard, who’d found each other and were happy again. Demigods who’d died in the second Titan war who wanted to hear from him how it had ended, to know what really happened. Heroes who died in the second giant war who wanted to know everything about Camp Jupiter and all of their friends who’d outlived them. Hunters who’d died in battles he hadn’t even known about while he was still alive.

But Percy Jackson was the son of Poseidon, lord of the sea. He didn’t like being contained in one place, and even if Elysium was a paradise for heroes, it wasn’t the same as being alive.

So Percy Jackson died, and Percy Jackson was sent to Elysium, and Percy Jackson chose to be reborn.

Zak Mason was born to a single mom.

He was an ordinary baby, almost. He was born with blue eyes, but they turned brown. He laughed and cried and pooped and spat up. He started preschool with a choppy haircut he gave to himself, and loved sitting on his mom’s lap to listen to Dr. Seuss books and watching anything fast-moving and colorful on TV.

When he was six, Zak’s basketball team won against all of the other first grade teams in their town, and a big picture of his gap-toothed smile holding the trophy he’d helped win with his first three-point shot held the place of honor on the fridge for almost a year.

Sometimes, Zak Mason had nightmares he didn’t understand. Of burning pain covering his entire body, of monsters and shifting Earth and bottomless pits, of faces he didn’t recognize twisted in pain or looking down at him as he fell, of flashing swords and screams and bursts of arrows whistling towards an enemy he couldn’t quite make out. He woke up and forgot the nightmares quickly, but they always left him almost wistful for something he couldn’t quite remember, even with how terrifying they were.

My Saddest AF Headcannon

Is that, the reason we never see Minerva again is because Artemis used the mesmer on her as well upon his return.

He met with her once, they caught up, he realized she could unknowingly reverse the mesmer he put on his parents and that he couldn’t risk her getting mixed up in his problems again.

“I’m sorry,” he tells her.

And the Fowls are no more to her.

Listen, I love Artemis Fowl with all my heart but...

I will never stop being angry at how eoin colfer straight up,, used and discarded a character like Minerva. she had so?? much?? potential?? like sure he screwed her character a little by making her all starstruck by artemis but that’s what made her unique. She wasn’t just a female counterpart to artemis- she was the more humane, more attuned-to-emotions version. She was a pillar of support to Butler when Artemis went MIA. Butler, who’s like 2m tall and trained to remain level-headed in all situation. Butler, who took care of Artemis since he was a baby. Butler, who felt like a failure to his entire family because he failed to keep his charge safe. She managed to give him hope that Artemis would return. He basically confirms that he wouldn’t have survived without her support. And what did she get in return? She got written off and never mentioned again, with some flimsy excuse of her having running off with some skier in the Swiss Alps. idk who that satisfied but it isn't me.

tl;dr: Minerva Paradizo deserved so much more than being cast aside once her role as a convenient female that catches Artemis’s attention when he’s going through puberty was fulfilled.

alternatively for Artemis Fowl Wants to Meet a Demon: Artemis Fowl Wants to Stop Being Horny

What the Artemis Fowl books really should've been called

• Artemis Fowl Wants More Gold • Artemis Fowl Wants to Stick It to the Russian Mafia • Artemis Fowl Wants More Money • Artemis Fowl Wants to Know Why This Redheaded Midget Seems to Know Who He Is • Artemis Fowl Wants to Meet a Demon • Artemis Fowl Wants to Save His Mom… from Himself Technically • Artemis Fowl Wants the Fours to Go Away • Artemis Fowl Wants to Save the World

eoin colfer and rick riordan have a support group of other writers who have also either been wronged by book to movie adaptations/know they’ll be disappointed

this made many things clear very quickly

for you fic-writing pleasure;

due to the popularity of this post, here is an updated, and apparently ever extending list of the characters the bois™ have created or absorbed into their alternative universe canon, or as @boogaraniac put it, the BFCU, 

C.C. Tinsley: technically real, but has become our favourite, happy-go-lucky, incompetent detective. according to fanon, he either works with, or is attempting to arrest Ricky G. may or may have not been murked by Dr Fear (intro’d in The Sodder Children)

Ricky Goldsworth: our main man. Smooth Criminal, “it’s all about the confidence, baby,” and while some people try to reduce him to just a serial killer, we all know he’s so much more than that. (intro’d in room 1046)

Banjo McClintock: art thief and wearer of fake mustaches. if you’re gonna steal something, do it right. probably admires Ricky G., but is definitely afraid of him.(intro’d in Gardner Museum Heist q+a)

Dr Fear: another technically real person, but hey, this fandom writes RPF so really, no one’s judging. Shane posited that C.C. Tinsley’s disappearance had something to do with this real life monster - and we all know that if he did, Ricky came for his ass (intro’d in the Pennhurst ep)

Francesca Norris: fabulous, flirty and flaunting spy. Better Than You, And Knows It. (intro’d in Isdal Woman q+a)

Detective Holly Horsley: detective by day, crime writer by night. better hope you have nothing to hide, because this girl will find out. [another real person the boys ran away with, but since she’s still a very alive and active person, I can’ talk about her in good conscience without a shoutout to her super cool YouTube] (first appearance in Room 1046 q+a)

all of their exploits take place in the town of Asshole, Iowa (intro’d in the Ken Rex q+a), and if I don’t see a rise in fanfic set in the bois™ au, I’m suing all of you
