Okay So Like I Had A Thought Of Like Professional And Platonic Connection That Really Lends Itself To

Okay so like I had a thought of like professional and platonic connection that really lends itself to devotion, both couples sort of have this thing where they match each other on a frequency that no one else in the world does. And there's the power dynamics of it all. Within sydcarmy, though they are technically partners, Carmy is still her boss and is at this point classified as a famous chef, while she's sort of an up-and-coming ingenue. And he continually says over and over that he'll listen to her and then he doesn't. But he still needs her desperately. It's the same thing with joshdonna, Josh has always been donnas boss, despite how much their professional relationship is more like a partnership than anything, she is still his assistant. And Josh is the deputy fucking chief of staff, he's a political mastermind, and again she's an aspiring political operative with half a college degree. And she asks for progression in her career and doesn't get it. But Josh still needs her deeply and desperately. And then there's the parallels between the industries they work in. Both of which are time consuming and mentally taxing and are all about "serving the people" And narratively there's a similarity, as there's a point of breaking for both guys, and then there's a point where both girls get fed up and then there's a divorce era. Also both boys have dead siblings and a found Family.

joshdonna and sydcarmy are incredibly similar and parallel and I would like to talk more about it but idk if anyone cares

Okay I'm thinking about Luke Castellan and all the reasons for his betrayal of the gods, and one that I personally have never seen talked about is his own parentification.

Cause he grew up with an unstable mother, meaning for the most part he had to raise himself and THEN he runs away and he meets these two girls, both younger than him and just as lost as he is, and he's found someone to protect in a way he never gets to be protected.

He gets to camp, and from there he's raising a grieving Annabeth BUT as time goes on and he gets older he gains more responsibility, and by the time Percy meets him, he's basically a parent figure to the ENTIRE Hermes cabin, as well as one of if not THE oldest camper in the whole camp.

He's constantly watching these kids beg for the gods'attention, both parental and otherwise, and seeking that attention in him, and of course he curses them. It is because of them the kids he cares about are hurting. And, more selfishly, it is because of them he has an emotional and mental burden of parenthood, when he never wanted nor prepared for it. Of course they're the villains.

arcane s2 stans who shit on any act of zaunite retaliation against piltover but defend the use of the gray are the same type of people to watch Andor and say Luthen was just as bad as the empire and he should have fought an active fascist regime with the power of peaceful protest

Every time some racist loser complains about how my Percy and Annabeth “aren’t book accurate,” I will design a different version out of spite (and bc it’s fun 🥰)

So fuck it, Annabeth’s Indian and Percy is Korean
