today’s date is the 3rd? what’s next, the 4th? the 5th? the minor fall, the major lift?

the weird thing about growing apart from friends is that you can never fully be rid of them. i don't think once about the girl i promised to never lose contact with for weeks at a time but whenever i see a certain book series i'll think about how much she loved it. i haven't talked to my old friends from camp in months but i'll never not like their pictures when they come up on my feed, and i'll never not like the friends themselves either. and it stings a bit when a boy i used to talk to for hours doesn't say hi to me when i see him in the cafeteria but whenever i see a supermarket cake i'll remember the time in middle school when i brought one to school for his birthday and he ate three slices and told me it was the best cake he'd ever had. you can pull away from friends but never fully break apart. the process of growing apart has a beginning but never an end
Juliette Cai x Jude Duarte headcanons
Them comparing their knives and daggers and giving each other advice on how to be better at murdering people.
Juliette giving Jude fashion advice because Juliette's outfits are on point🤌🏻
Jude telling Juliette how to better hide a dead body
They both would definitely talk about their husbands and the stupid things they have done
Juliette: I once held Roma to knifepoint.
Jude: Weak! I held Cardan to knifepoint and then proceeded to make out with him.
Juliette: I faked the death of Roma's bestfriend to save the city
Jude: I straight up killed Cardan's best friend and hid his body in my murderer step-dad's estate.
Jude: Cardan threw me in the river because he didn't know how to handle a crush
Juliette: Roma shot at me in a theater full of people and then hurt himself in the process. I had to save myself and bandage up the idiot🤦🏻♀️
Jude: Gurll?? Are you sure he is the one?
Jude: Cardan has a tail!!
Juliette: No way! Does it wag when he gets excited to see you?
And Roma and Cardan would be standing in the corner looking at their wives in awe and being utterly grateful that these godesses haven't left them.
if i bite my lips it’s not to flirt, i’m just ripping the skin off my lips because of stress
Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.
A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.
Mmm the villain of the episode is an entitled white lady who called the cops on a bunch of kids, calls them monsters because of an aspect of themselves they can't change that makes them disruptive and dangerous, and hides behind a veneer of being a caring mother. And Annabeth is black. The social commentary is commentarying
I hate how the booktokification of the “unhinged woman” genre has completely reduced the concept of female rage to just “girlboss” without taking seriously how important it is to unequivocally portray female rage.
Throughout the history of literature, we’ve been given countless instances of women in despair and in sadness but save for a few writers (take Euripides, for example), we’ve rarely ever been given angry women who aren’t the villains or the foil for the perfect poised passive princess. Female rage has constantly been subdued and erased or warped into “she’s just batshit crazy” in pretty much every society.
And now that publishing and media marketing has reduced women showing rage in books to the “white hypersexual girlboss with a knife”, instead of uplifting the way women are allowed to have more dimension and sympathy in their visible anger than ever in literature, the media still isn’t taking this subgenre seriously.
