Song #153
Riptide by Vance Joy
It was released on March 1, 2013
Fun Fact: Vance Joy via TheMusic.com.au: "This song started in 2008 with a couple of lines that I didn’t think much of, the first two lines of the verse – the one about dentists in the dark – and then in 2012 I wrote a melody on the ukulele which ended up being the chorus melody. It’s a real patchwork, this song, of images and ideas. I met a magician’s assistant around the time I was writing the song and so she kind of found her way into the song. Michelle Pfeiffer, I don’t know where that came from – I was kind of envisaging a character that had ambitions of stardom or something like that. That’s the kind of character Michelle Pfeiffer was in The Fabulous Baker Boys and that’s what came to mind, so I used that reference to set it up. Once it all came together, it somehow made sense given it’s such an eclectic mix of bits."

PERCY SERIES SPOILERS
riptide is already so cool omfg
Minus a few details but "family line" is straight up jay's anthem
This Sea is not Peaceful
This Sea is not peaceful
No scheduled arriving waves.
This Sea is not peaceful
No friendly dog in play.
This Sea is not peaceful,
Not the calm on a warm summer’s day
This Sea is persuasive,
A writhing, seething mass.
This Sea is enticing,
A treacherous trap.
A vicious force, a stunning blow,
Knocked off my feet again
This sea is
A violent respite
Salt burns my eyes, gritty sand everywhere,
A maniac laughs in delight.
For this sea is tempting,
Dark and deep.
A riptide lurks below,
And the wind whips harshly around me,
Like the pain of a sunburn
I will only regret
Later.
For now the waves of the un-peaceful sea
Have brought me back to reality.
Tsunami: Riptide sneezed and I accidentally said "shut the fuck up" instead of "bless you."
Starflight: How does that even happen?
emizels and assorted jrwiwis. his name is shithead and he is a single celled organism.
1962 X-Men: First Class
X-Men!
A few changes for the ISC MCU version.
Moira and Hank work for S.H.I.E.L.D., not CIA. While they have been aware of powered people and mermen etc (and the dialogue should change to reflect this), they were not aware of a new type of human.
Raven is a psychology major in this, so we can see how smart she is and she can self study after she goes off with Erik.
Alex Summers (Havok) is actually 15 pretending to be 18 so he can be tried and incarcerated as an adult as he thinks this is safer for everyone. Before his arrest Alex was living with his young divorcee mom (36), who went back to her maiden name, Summers. Dad disappeared.
The mutant gene can be carried or passed by either parent btw.
Angel could wear a halter neck as she does later on so she doesn't need to go topless to show them her power.
Darwin is a scientist/engineer instead of a taxi driver. And he DOESN'T DIE! He can't die, he just adapts, that's his whole thing. He eventually adapts to Havok's energy blast and survives, but is severely injured. We see his body's miraculous recovery during the training montage. OR…he just shoots Shaw back and Shaw's like…'Well, we could do this all day. Toodles.'
Moira helps the first class with fight training (except Charles, he is "not a fighter").
Must find a way to get Darwin and Angel Salvatore more involved with the plot. Give Angel some proper motivation for switching sides and some dialogue afterwards.
Recast Emma with Margot Robbie and give her more attitude and agency.
Eric does not kiss Raven as he just said she is too young for him and noted that she is just trying to get back at Hank for something. He still says that her natural form is nothing to be ashamed of, but they do not have a romantic relationship. Moira is revealed early on as a mutant and has a vast wealth of knowledge from several lifetimes. She knew she had been reincarnated but didn't know it was due to a mutation. She agrees to not go back to X-mansion so as not to give game away. And that means you can cut the '...a kiss...' line. She will be pleasantly surprised to see Charles in Apocalypse instead of mind wiped. It's best you forget about me er, us etc. adds Charles but without the mind wipe.
However, it is strongly implied that they will continue the relationship.
I think everything about Ripnami would've been fixed had Tui either a) made Riptide an actual character whose actions and personality impacts the story as he's a character who could've been so interesting, being a dragon raised as a soldier in Queen Coral's army despite his parents forsaking Coral, with him being stuck in this spot once Webs comes along and Tsunami feeling conflicted about the nature of Riptide before remembering that the actions of his parents previous should not define his existence now or b) made him a he/him butch lesbian
I know!! It was so heart warming!!
What has the consensus about the song come to Dianna or Karlie?
After this performance, I am leaning toward Karlie
"And I always knew it, My life would be ruined"
*insert bigass riptide smile"
🥹
her smile and energy throughout this song but especially during that part 😍
when reading the pjo books, i’ve never wanted a ballpoint pen and sword in my life.

OH MY GOD I READ THIS LIKE A MONTH AGO AND I WAS BROUGHT TO TEARS IN MATH CLASS BTW
(it's harder than you think) telling dreams from one another
by @unfortunatelyem
As the two captains turned to leave, Chip couldn’t help but spare a glance back at the sleeping Gillion, unease rising deep in his gut. But it was fine. He’d be up by morning. It was okay. But Gillion was not up by morning like Jay had suggested. Nor was he up by the afternoon, or even as the sun dipped back below the sea line. Chip was starting to feel like it was not fine.
or:
Gillion gets hit with a curse that sends him into a deep sleep. Chip and Jay struggle to run the ship without him while they search for a way to wake him up. Gillion cannot escape his past, even in his dreams.
