I'm the most traumatised person my age I know
Love this perspective 🥹🥹
I know Kaz gets a lot of shit for calling Inej and investment in Six of Crows, but if you take into account the culture he grew up in, it's actually really sweet. Hear me out. When you acknowledge just how important commerce is in Kerch, and particularly Ketterdam, it adds a lot more meaning behind the seemingly throwaway line. Commerce is more than just financial in that culture. It's spiritual. This is a place where the main god is Ghezen, the god of industry and commerce. Their main church is literally called the Church of Barter. Saying someone is an investment in a culture like that would have way deeper implications than simply a surface level business transaction. It's someone you'd want to take care of and protect. Someone you'd want to see succeed and keep close enough to reap the benefit from that success. Someone you'd put time and effort into. It wouldn't be surprising if marriage or having children would be considered an investment in that culture because, to them, it wouldn't cheapen the emotional value of these things but highlight just how important those relationships are. It's not surprising that this goes over Inej's head (and most of the other characters' heads) because she's not from that culture. But for someone who is, it would show just how important his relationship to her is to him. Especially considering he says this while he's putting himself in danger (and probaby a lot of pain considering his leg) just to save her and keep her safe.
As It Was by Harry Styles and Nothing's New by Rio Romeo are both opposites of each other and somehow still feel like personal attacks against me.
As they repeat the same line over and over again I feel this sinking feeling of misery and nostalgia at once.
The best songs can rip you apart or put you back together.
Me: *wakes up before my alarm* You know this feels very nice, actually...
*alarm rings reminding me of the shit I need to get done*
Me: *filled with sudden anger* CHAOS I CALL TO YOU
Is this feeling too much to ask for ???
Bothersome beast, comforting friend
Y'all, what if Percy went to a Greek museum (in new york, of course,) and told some genuinely Greek person that he was half-Greek and could speak Greek.
They stand there expecting this green-eyed white boy to spout some broken Greek but end up hearing the most pure, jaw-droppingly beautiful ancient Greek.
Everyone's shocked as hell and Percy's just confused until he remembers that he doesn't know how to speak modern greek
Percy runs away and gets chased by a few well-intentioned journalists on the way out.
Annabeth finds him somehow, sighs, and helps him get away.
"WE HAD ONE DATE WE PROMISED EACHOTHER!"
"I'm sorry Annabeth I swear."
Please work, Potato of good luck :')
"Wow, your glasses really suit your face!"
Thanks but please don't say that right after I took them off
