"The best followup for Jean's trilogy is this"

"No, a Kevin trilogy is better"

"Actually no, pre og trilogy is the way to go"

"Andrew's POV"

"The perfect court series is superior"

"Actually we don't need more books"

blah blah blah................................

Listen to me listen LISTEN, if Nora decides to write about this universe for the rest of her live and give us every single detail about the characters, MY BABIES until they retire or die happy and content of old age, I would follow her until the very end and every step and book of the way. I would eat up EVERY. SINGLE. THING. So give me whatever, nothing's too much and nothing's irrelevant or not wanted, I NEED IT TO KEEP LIVING DONT YOU UNDERSTAND

some of my favorite things about Anora in no particular order (SPOILERS BELOW):

the goons, wow what all timer movie goons. concussed guy for goon of the year

when anora beats the shit out of those goons for a fifteen minute stretch and they get increasingly more afraid of her. comedy gold, just pitch perfect comedy treading the line between should-i-be-worried-for-her and the disarming buffoonery of the goons

ivan's mom stomping on the last step of the private jet stairs. her incredible houndstooth suit. every second of her on screen.

all of them throwing the pens at the annulment woman

ivan's dad dying laughing during the annulment as anora throws all of the moms shit on the ground

every parking in new york joke from the ticket in front of the courthouse to getting towed down on brighton beach

how the entire time, nobody pulls out a weapon, not once. and yet, the threat of violence and danger still lingers in the periphery because of the deftly constructed tension of the roving camera and contextually what we don't know about this family and the broader scope of ivan's world and the looming threat of the parents. how far can she push the goons until they get violent, and yet they never really do, but baker never lets you exhale that breath.

when they walked into tatianas..... like sean does his RESEARCH

also the t.A.T.u needle drop like i screamed

also the fight over driving or walking for five minutes in the cold. the new york specificity in this movie is pinpoint accurate, down to the mundane

the ending, her having a breakdown release of everything that had happened to her and how humiliated she was, but also how she thought she had gotten out and made a fairytale of her life. how using her body was the only power she has ever had, and how that was what she defaulted to with Igor in that last scene, but it was when he wanted to kiss her that the facade of power broke down and so did she. how she had to face her own humanity, and in that moment ask herself if she wanted to kiss him, because he was giving her perhaps her first real choice in a long time, and that opened a pathway to maybe questioning whether she truly wanted any of what had happened to her. maybe in that moment she realized that her body is not as powerful as she perhaps convinced herself it was. she was far more powerless than all her bravado and will probably always be powerless in the socioeconomic systems of the world that are built up around her. how disposable she was made to feel maybe for the first time, and how she thought she had built up that bravado and detached arrogance around herself so that she would never feel that way, but the feeling still seeped through nonetheless. all of that delivered wordlessly, in silence, buried under the falling white snow that will throw a white, pristine blanket over everything as if nothing significant had happened at all.

but also like igor, i too would fall in love with her almost instantly and tbh i did. rip to Ivan, anora i am hopelessly in love with you, and i would die for you.

Rules for the road when traveling in northern Europe

Memorize your route. Your map can and will lie.

Take the safest roads.

Mountain passes shift between our world and another - do not leave your car when you are crossing a mountain pass.

If you see something you believe to be a bear, do not photograph it.

The snow does strange things to our eyes.

Borders shift.

Do not speak to anyone you meet further than a kilometer from the nearest building.

Not everything that appears to be human is.

You may eat at rest stops but leave as soon as possible. If there are no other guests there, leave immediately.

Don’t listen to birdsongs for too long - they will start to tell you things you’d rather not hear.

There are no shortcuts.

Something is looking at you, but it is indifferent to your existence.

The things beneath the soil would rather stay undisturbed. Don’t dig.

Bring a mirror and a clear head.

Leave all religious items at home. They will make a scent trail.

There is a reason we fear wolves, but it isn’t the one you think.

Do not touch scissors on the ground. Ever.

The wind will bite you. Cover up.

The longer you spend in the woods, the stranger the air gets.

Stay calm.

Never approach old houses.

If there is mist on the ground, do not be afraid.

Windmills are further away than they seem.

Don’t look into lakes.

Some farms don’t always exist. Don’t worry if you can’t find it on your return trip.

Don’t drink slow-running river water. If you do, there will invariably be a dead animal upstream.

Bridges are sacred places. Do not disrespect them.

Avoid wetlands.

There are no children out here, only false ones.

If you suddenly get lost, stay very still.

twitter doesn’t disappoint

This is really random and sorry for advance for bothering you but what are oyur thoughts on abused percy?

*hands you the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books*

It’s literally canon that Percy was abused as a child. So I’m not entirely sure what kind of thoughts I’m supposed to have on it - but, my own confusion aside, no you are of course not bothering me, dear anon!

It’s canon and I hate how much it’s being played down.

It’s one of the reasons why I hate Annabeth’s nickname for Percy, because that boy was abused for six years. Not just physically, also emotionally. Gabe belittling him and insulting him is a thing that happened, so I just… I just genuinely can’t see an abuse survivor who has been made fun of for his intelligence - not just by Gabe, but also by Nancy and other classmates and supposedly also by former teachers - would enjoy the constant reminder that one of his best friends thinks he‘s dumb, even as a joke.

It infuriates me that both canon and fanon tend to skip over it. Like, obviously all those years later, Percy does not dedicate every waking hour to it, but… acknowledgment? Please?

The boy has been through shit and shit started when he was six and his abuser moved in with him.

And, honestly, the fact that Sally flat out murdered him is an indication of how bad the abuse must have been. Sally is a good person, a gentle soul. If Gabe had really only been a foul smelling man, she wouldn’t have murdered him.

But the fact that Sally and Percy - Percy, the protagonist who tries to save everyone, including those on the Titans side during the war - team up and decide to murder this mortal… It really does speak of just how bad Gabe must have been, even if we never got any explicit depiction of the physical abuse.

I write about it really very frequently, actually. I usually make a point of mentioning it, mentioning that Percy was abused, that he confides in his lover about this, because it is a vital part of his past, of what shaped him as a person. He survived six years with that man.

I’m still a little confused on what thoughts you wanted to hear though, to be honest. It’s canon and I think there could/should have been more on how they deal with it, but as with every other serious issue, it’s rather brushed under the rug.

everyone stay back i have a new blorbo and i'm not afraid to use her
