This Is Why ToA Isnt About Learning To Be Human, Its About Accepting The Humanity Inside Of Him. Its

this is why ToA isn’t about learning to be human, it’s about accepting the humanity inside of him. it’s about letting himself accept that he loves and cares so deeply and it’s okay for him to do that, and that loving and losing is better than never loving at all.

im so emotional over this guy it’s not even funny 😭😭😭

Something that always gets to me while rereading the apollo chapter in Percy Jackson's greek gods is this:

"He sauntered around Olympus in his gleaming robes with his bow and arrow, winking at the ladies and high-fiving the dudes, or sometimes winking at the dudes and high-fiving the ladies. Apollo didn’t care. He figured everybody loved him."

Obsessed with it not only because it's so iconic, but also just cause the last part is so wrong about Apollo.

From being granted into Apollo's inner thoughts, we as the audience know that the self important, self obsessed facade he puts on is just a facade. But it makes sense for someone like Percy -forced to do stupid quests, nearly blinded upon meeting by bright sportscar and even brighter teeth-to fall for that facade and interpret that Apollo's bisexuality stems from the fact that he thinks everybody loves him and thus, it would be a crime to keep somebody off all his golden gorgeousness just cause they're the same gender.

But the truth is that Apollo is the one who can't stay away. Every person is gorgeous. Every person is spirirted. He's always the one falling hard for the next person on page and not just romantically. The man was so devastated at the thought that the sweet kid who prayed to him a couple of times died, he obliterated someone with the power of his own voice. He weeps openly when embracing his kids. He was ride or die with Meg after such a short time of knowing her and forgave her instantly despite being betrayed because she wormed her way into his heart that fast.

He loves so hard and so easily. His nature is to love and damn does he have a weak spot for humanity. I'm not really sure bisexuality works this way but I like to think that his sexuality blends a little with his love for humanity. He has so much love to give and that love isn't limited to a person based on their gender.

So anyway to sum up what I'm getting at, Percy idc that you are fictional and personally bothered by Apollo, it's not his self obsession that fuels him to get people to love him, it's his sheer unadulterated love for humanity that does.

yoooo guys these wings my dad made look INSANE i can’t wait to try them tomorrow

Rewatched the Test Drive scene and thought about how Toothless probably must've resigned himself to the possibility that he'll never fly like he used to, especially when there's a human boy on his back who needs a cheat sheet in order to slowly work his tailfin. He'll never be fast again, he'll always have to wait on Hiccup to figure out which is the right tail position, he has to be careful.

And then they fly through that maze of sea stacks and find out that flying is as natural to Hiccup as breathing, apparently.

Just a drop is enough…

Just a drop…

if you could rewrite the burning maze to give leo and jason the chance to see each other again (either before he dies or as a Jason lives au) how do you think it’d go? i imagine a lot of tears. less than canon but- yeah 😭😭

in a perfect world all three of them, like the og trio, would get to grow old together and learn about their place in the world and with each other. they’d never be alone. i’m sad now

If before Jason dies,I say before the head up to the ship or so, think Jason would definitely try hard to avoid Leo learning about him being told that either he or Piper was gonna die.

Cause Jason knows Leo will(and has) sacrifice for both him and Piper. He's not gonna have Leo put his life on the line again.

Also,Jason wouldn't express seeing Leo alive again with frustrated relief like what most everyone else does in TOA(the punch line was funny but gods I wanted some more emotional scenes from especially his siblings. But that's a different rant fhdh)

Jason gonna probably hug Leo still he's almost bruised tho. My boys a hugger.

Jason later dying tho would still absolutely wreck Leo. He's back with him just for him to be taken.

Now in Jason lives au?(hes saved last minute or Apollo manages to reawaken healing ability in some fashion in the moment) After everything settles and such Leo definitely gonna spend lot of time making up for lost time(as much as Leo getting two moms and such is sweet,Leo just not going back to camp or being seen with Piper again bugs me to no end. But again. Rant for another time dhdb)

Maybe during the time him and Calypso realize "Yeah we're better off as friends" and such so Leo gets even more room to catch up.

Maybe he goes to the same school as Jason or something(or Jason's moves to go to a school Leo's going to that fits him better or something-)

Leo maybe helps him with building temples and honorary places for the minor gods. Jason quickly realizing that it didn't matter if he was greek or roman,his home was where those he loved were and Leo helping him find his place.

I don't think(in terms of Valgrace) that they would(nor should) figure out they like eachother quickly. Probably takes a year or so before they even consider they feel that way. They're too focused on having their best friend back. Any other feelings aren't really noticed until everything settles again.

They're attached at the hip tho. Both almost dying/dying for a moment really causes some attachment issues fbdbd Piper teases them all the time but she's just as happy that both of them are still alive.

When they do start figuring out that they might have a crush,either both go to Piper or Jason goes to Piper and Leo goes to Jake cause he thinks it might be awkward to tell one of your best friends that you might have a crush on your other best friend who's also her ex-

Either way,even when they do start dating not much changes. But they now go on double dates with Piper and Shel and Will and Nico ✨️
