The summer stinks one is both that summer is bad and also smells bad because of sweat
"summer stinks and winter's freezin' when you works outdoors / start out sweating, end up sneezin', in between it pours" (carrying the banner) this is just fun and relatable. also the double meaning on stinks is funny
"though you wander lost and depraved" (carrying the banner) calling them depraved is lowkey crazy
"turns out that love ain't blind, it's dumb!" (don't come a-knockin') realer words have never been spoken.
"and a prayer becomes a vow" (seize the day) this is just beautiful imagery
"if the life don't seem to suit ya, how 'bout a change of scene? / far from the lousy headlines, and the deadlines in between" (santa fe) this is so tortured teenager
"we'll get your pay back with some payback" (brooklyn's here) i love the wordplay here
"the world finds ways to sting you / and then someday decides to bring you something to believe in" (something to believe in) if i ever got a newsies tattoo this would be it
"and if you're gone tomorrow / what was ours still will be" (something to believe in) this is such a lovely way to look at something with an uncertain future
Saving for later

i’m so fucking sad. i cant stop thinking about jason reaching elysium, expecting to find leo there, so excited to finally see him again, finally have him in his arms once more, only to find out he never made it there. how he must’ve cried, thought leo ended up in asphodel or chose rebirth. how he’d thought he’d never see him again, how leo must’ve become this new person who had a whole new life, who wouldn’t even know who he- jason- was.
how once more, he had lost leo, and this time, permanently.
(edit cause no one can see my reblog: i totally forgot apollo told him so take it as an angsty au or something whoops)
Mostly PJO, epic the musical, newsies, and Hellenic polytheism. He/him
