I have waited ALL FUCKING YEAR TO POST THIS

Santa is coming tonight.

BLITZEN BENZ

Okay but-

I WOULD LOVE A HETRO BOY (or male identifying characters) FROM RIORDANVERSE WEARING STEREOTYPICAL FEMALE CLOTHING 🥺🤧

(because it’s seen as stereotypical gay clothing and clothes don’t have genders or sexualities)

I will never forgive Rick riordan for making Leo and calypso get together but not Biltz and Hearth.

I will forever hate Caleo

But BLITZSTONE?!?!

CRACK

I LOVE THEM

BLITZ LEARNT A WHOLE ASS LANGUAGE FOR HEARTH

I’m very passionate about this.

This is coming from someone who read Magnus chase before he ever read Percy Jackson btw.

I’m still not over it.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk x

(I know that their actions can be platonic but just read the books and you will understand)

ITS NOT CANON AND IM PISSED OVER IT!!!!

Percy started signing at the age of 7

It was his idea, after this kid at his school was being followed by this woman who spoke with her hands to the boy every time the teacher spoke. Percy thought it was so weird and he asked the boy why he couldn’t talk

The lady was really nice to him about it, too. She told him the boy couldn’t hear and that this was his way of talking, even if he was in what he called a ‘hearing school’ 

Percy fell in love with the language instantly. He befriended the boy and the lady, and because of that everyone made fun of him for being around 'that weird kid’

By the end of the semester, Percy was able to talk to Jacob, the deaf kid, without having to used Amanda, the translator

When he went home for winter break, he eagerly showed Sally the new language he learned. Sally couldn’t believe Percy picked up on something like that so quickly, learning so much in only a few short months

Percy insisted that they learn, because 'Then Smelly Gabe doesn’t have to yell at us for being too loud.’

He taught her whenever he had the chance, which was those rare times they went grocery shopping or out buying new uniforms because Percy was afraid Gabe would pick up on this beautiful language

When Percy went back to ​school, he found out his deaf friend had to move. Heartbroken (platonically speaking) and alone, Percy’s grades stopped getting better and he went mute for the rest of the schon year, refusing to do schoolwork or activities. He buried himself into ASL, learning as much as he could before Sally got a letter shortly after April testing stating that Percy was not welcome back for the next grading cycle

As he got older, he used ASL more than ever. He went back to talking, but sometimes he found himself accidentally signing as he spoke. It started off subtlety, only being words like 'my mother’, 'wind’, 'let’s go’, and 'no/yes’

Sometimes he’ll forget he’s not deaf, or that “normal kids” don’t sign, and he’ll switch into ASL in an argument

Kids teased him for it

He won’t admit it out loud, but that was why he fired that cannon at that Revolutionary war memorial

He forced himself to stop signing when he went to Yancy. He couldn’t look his mom in the eyes for a week when she found out that those kids, the ones who teased him for learning the deaf language, were why he blew up a bus.

Grover met Percy and befriended him, not once learning of his hidden language ability

Percy secretly likes no one knowing about it. It felt kind of like a secret language a spy would use when she couldn’t talk to her partner

As he grew into his demigod life, he found ways to prevent the unintentional signing - spinning Riptide in his fingers, running a hand through his hair, crossing his arms, or simply tucking his hands into his pockets

When Gabe died, Sally and Percy stopped signing to each other. After all, they didn’t need to be secretive, right?

When Paul came around, Percy’s signing defense reactivated. He talked to his mom with his hands again, which had shocked the teacher

Sally reassured Percy that there was no way Paul would be like Gabe. Gabe was being used for his scent; Paul was here because he was sweet and kind and loving

Paul couldn’t understand a word of their conversation, and when he asked Sally what happened, she told him that ASL was Percy’s “escape” language

Percy was shocked when Paul asked him to learn. It proved to be very great bonding time between the 2 of them

Then Hera kidnapped Percy and wiped his memories

While he trained with Lupa, he found himself weaving strange hand gestures into his speech. He couldn’t understand how he knew what this one hand gesture meant, or how to say a certain phrase without having to talk, but he thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Something inside him told himself to keep the hand signals to himself, like a gut feeling

Lupa was always telling Percy to follow his gut

So he stopped signing, focusing on improving his battle movements

Sometimes, on the Argo 2, he would stand in front​ of the mirror and sign to himself

Once again, he hid his favourite language from his friends. This was his and his mom’s language, their special way of talking

No one was allowed to know it unless they had to

Not even his own father knew that Percy and Sally were ASL speakers

The quests fly by, Percy making a point to communicate with his mouth and not his hands

At the end of Saving The World Part Two™, the first thing he did was go see his mom and sign to her

Beautiful with an S is the name his friend Jacob gave her when Percy showed him a picture. That name was the first thing hr signed when he saw his mother again

The squeal Paul heard from the kitchen indicated that Sally had signed “I’m pregnant”

(Which, guys, totally happened to be all Percy’s fault. Don’t believe me? It took a month of travel to get to Rome. Apollo went MIA for 6 months, which means TOA took place 7 months after SON. Sally is seven months pregnant in The Hidden Oracle…)

Percy settled back down into his normal oral-only speech rule he made for himself

Then Annabeth called him and said that he needed to meet her in Boston

Percy packed up stuff and drove himself to Boston via Blackjack & Chariot taxi services

There he met Magnus, Blitzen, Sam, and Hearthstone

Annabeth cheerily introduced Percy to her 'mortal-not-so-mortal’ cousin

Magnus and Percy discussed stuff for a while before Hearthstone signed that he couldn’t understand what Percy was saying because his mouth formed words differently

Without meaning to, Percy instantly started signing an apology, explaining that New York City accents did that

And Annabeth nearly flipped the table

“What do you mean you’ve been signing since you were 7?!”

Percy was stuck trying to explain to Annabeth that him knowing another language like that was no big deal

But to Percy, ASL was a huge deal. It was his favourite and his secret language.

Annabeth was just mad that such an important piece of information about Percy was never brought to her attention

Like ever

Percy reluctantly taught her ASL

Their wedding vows and were exchanged with ASL

Getting back into the Magnus Chase books means that I get to remember the absolute beauty of Blitz and Hearth. Two lovely men who are rejected by their families for being different.

Blitzen is a brilliant artist who cannot survive in the sunlight, whereas Hearthstone is a talented rune mage who can’t survive in darkness. And yet, they are inseparable.

Hearth is known for not showing a significant amount of emotion, yet any time Blitz shows up after being separated from him, Hearth practically launches himself at the dwarf.

Blitz is unendingly protective over Hearth; always there to catch him when he feints, never missing a chance to defend the elf’s abilities.

They’re casually and non sexually intimate all the time. Whether they are queer platonic, romantic, or a secret third thing, they’re absolutely devoted to one another.

And I think that’s beautiful.
