Don't Ask Me Why I'm Obsessed With Ancient Greece & Rome When We Both Know It's Because I'm Gay

in the nico solo book i just wanna see Will have an argument with an asshole and then the next day said asshole has a really bad cough and Will is like “oh wow what a coincidence :) karma i guess:)” as forshadowing for him figuring out he has plague powers is that too much to ask

dear god the sheer magic of being so invested in a book you just sit and read half of it feverishly without any ability to stop, just gulping down word after word like it's water in a desert and your eyes aren't fast enough for your mind and when you reach the last page you look up and realize you're not decades and miles away but in the space of your own room,,,, truly unmatched by any other human experience

This hurts me literally every fucking time I read this smh:

Sometimes I forget literally how much Nico has suffered, like he was in a jar with NO FOOD OR OXYGEN for FIVE FUCKING DAYS

Excuse me, I need to shed some tears.

for the love of god please start downloading your fanfics.  People keep complaining that there isn’t an app for Ao3 YOU DON’T NEED AN APP.  Here’s what you do:

go to Ao3 and find the fic you want to read

click (or tap) entire work at the top of the screen

click download.  a list of options will come up.

I recommend epub if you’re on an iphone.  if you’re not, i recommend downloading the kindle app (for free!) and choosing the pdf option.  (you don’t need the kindle app, but you can convert the pdf to kindle format for easier reading! if you don’t want to download the app, you can still read it under the “files” app.

it now splits into phone or computer.

FOR IPHONE (i don’t have an android so idk how it works there i’m sorry)

FOR EPUB: click the “open in” button at the bottom of the screen.  it will show a list of options.  “books” is what you want to tap.  if it’s not there, scroll to the right and click “more,” then tap “books.”  

FOR PDF: same thing, click “open in,” then “kindle” or “files.”

WAIT. you HAVE to wait until the fic opens in your app (ie you see the the actual words of the story) to close the app, otherwise IT WILL NOT SAVE TO YOUR PHONE.

FOR COMPUTER:

click the download at the bottom of the window.  

WAIT until the book fully opens for you to close out of the app.  if you close too early, it will not save.  

that’s it! If you have any questions lmk, but otherwise happy fic reading!

So I was rereading Heroes of Olympus and I realized how underrated Nico has been throughout the series. I love Percy and Annabeth so much and they've been through hell and back - literally- but Nico has been through the same. Maybe that's why he hates physical contact. Maybe he's been tortured so badly that every touch from a person takes him back to the horrors of Tartarus. He didn't have any support, he didn't have any Bob or Damasen or Small Bob. He didn't have a person with him through any of that. He was utterly alone.

And that's why Nico deserves the world.

I like that Apollo refers to Annabeth as the “scary” one, when he’s only ever met her as a god. This means that god Apollo, not just Lester, is intimidated by Annabeth.

one of my biggest fears is accidentally playing music on speaker instead of on my headphones like i’m in class and suddenly naruto shippuden op 14 starts playing and everyone hears
