They’re a year apart it’s confirmed in trials of Apollo in the first book
So this woman had two children with the same god in two years time I needed a book about her yesterday
"I want x spinoff, I want a book about y"
I want to meet the woman who had not one but TWO kids with Hermes. Two kids so close in age and are so alike people just assume that they're twins, two kids who are chaos personified, who singlehandedly run the camp shop, who are in charge of the biggest cabin at camp and look after their equally chaotic gremlin siblings plus every unclaimed kid at camp like Lou Ellen a daughter of Hecate and another being of chaos who learnt it all from them, and who take every opportunity to fuck shit up, to prank their camp mates or to steal shit. Their last name, which they get from their mama? Stoll by the way. Neither child notices the pun.
I want to meet Mama Stoll, who saw the chaos, who saw the bullshit Hermes brought into her life the first go around and said tonight's the night let's do it again. She is either the world's greatest cat burglar who enticed the god of Thieves or the messenger god was enchanted by the best god dam delivery woman on the planet. There's no in-between. It was just a bonus that her surname was the perfect pun. Her and Hermes laugh about it. In my head, it's all canon. Regardless, she unleashed two agents of unlimited chaos onto an unsuspecting world, and I love her for it. I take my hat off to her, I kneel before her.
Oh, and the oldest kid, Travis? He's dating a girl called Katie, who is the daughter of Demeter. Her last name? Gardner. Fucking Gardner. She has a sister called Miranda Gardiner, by the way. Mama Stoll finds it hilarious. Her sons still don't get the pun, but at least she gets on with her future daughter in law like a house on fire.

OMG I DIDN’T REALIZE WE WERE MOOTS AAAAAHHH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Of course
Are saying to you wouldn’t join in two gays weird little rituals
really love how every other greendale student is almost as invested in troy and abed’s adventures as they are. when they have their talk show they hold up signs in the background. when they build a blanket fort they help and follow their rules and create a beautiful town. when there’s a rift between the blanket fort and the pillow fort they join the battlefield. they're all surprisingly supportive of those weird little guys and their rituals
Please do
lemme spoil you but I just pull out my entire newsies, the outsiders, west side story, & illinoise collection
Cat loving wolf here
This dog loves cats!!!
Where the cat loving puppers at??
And he’s right 80% of the time
okay but like, modern day Davey goes around diagnosing all of the newsies with various disabilities and mental health issues
(cus like, he's autistic, and his special interest for a while was disabilities and mental health issues (specifically the three A's: autism, adhd and anxiety)
Like in my head he'll point at say... idk... Race and be like "ADHD 100%"
I just have this mental image of him saying "That one's autistic, and him over there... anxiety, and she has serious PTSD"
They’re the James to your regulus
I will be talking to my partner, the love of my life, the person I imagine my future with, then say some shit like “there is nothing on gods green earth I love more than regulus black.”what’s wrong with me
i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
Ok hear me out that should be a photo of Jack from 92sies but the post is about Shara
So I did a thing
Mostly PJO, epic the musical, newsies, and Hellenic polytheism. He/him
