Y'all wanted complex female characters but couldn't even handle her
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.
rip jamie tartt you would've loved challengers (2024)
I love how even in fanart Leo is almost never shown in the CHB shirts while everyone else is wearing their camp shirts
Like even in the fandom he doesnt belong with everyone else. He's the odd one out.
And the flip version is how Jason is almost always in his Camp Jupiter shirt in fanart when he wants to be apart of both camps
Even in the fandom he will live and die a Roman. He cant escape.
And thats why they should kiss
I truly believe that none understood the doctor more than Rory Williams the man that never shied away from telling the doctor exactly how dangerous he is how unhuman he could be but still saw him as his family and loved him like his family , Rory is one of the few companions that saw the doctor for who he truly was with all his faults and still accepted him and let's be honest Rory is the most similar companion to the doctor
MY devils minion… if u even care
