An idea for a dystopian story:
The human race has made great advance in going out to space, building great monuments and spacecraft, but it’s running out of elements(the earth is dying) mostly iron, carbon, and the elements that the human bodies carry, so yeah they start using dead bodies (some people say the actually use the poor, criminals and minorities)
i’ve been alone most of my life and still have the speaking skills of a 13 year old
“It’s not ‘natural’ to speak well, eloquently, in an interesting articulate way. People living in groups, families, communes say little–have few verbal means. Eloquence–thinking in words–is a byproduct of solitude, deracination, a heightened painful individuality.”
— Susan Sontag, As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh (via the-book-diaries)
“The winter though it darkens me, it is pure and clean and all I want.”

in honour of all the unnecessary hate tsats is getting I've decided to reactive my tumblr just to yell about how much I loved this book.
I've been a long-time pjo fan(I'll admit I fell off the wagon after THO) and in all honesty, back in the dah nico was not my favourite character. dont get me wrong i didnt hate him but as a kid I just couldn't understand why he kept reacting to his trauma the way he did. constantly pushing and pulling with the people around him and never seeming to stay anchored to a singular mentality. but this book. this book is the long awaited deep-dive into his character and the very long awaited happy ending that he deserves.
its been nearly a decade since I read and finished hoo and by gods if there's one thing Uncle Rick has done by releasing this book it's reminded me how much I loved these characters and this world growing up. its sent me spiralling back into my age old obsession and I genuinely think it's one of the best books I've read all year.
the journey that we went on with solangelo and the development that they were finally given- i wanted to cry because if i was this affected by their love as a college student I can't imagine how I would've felt reading this as a preteen. the light that Mark Oshiro shines on the queer aspects of this book is so beautiful and so blatantly put. I needed this book as a questioning 12 year old and i needed it now as a very well settled adult and i can only imagine the impact its having on its intended audience.
and on an side note anyone who is complaining about the humour in tsats being corny or cringey can fight me. NICO IS SO FUNNY HELLO AND SOLANGELOS BANTER STAYS ABSOLUTELY UNMATCHED.
and my boy. my sunshine boy Will Solace. I have no words only tears to describe how much I love him. in conclusion if you hate this book without ever giving it a go know I am standing behind you with terrible intentions.
Sometimes I just sit here and think about how Rick really wrote the Gayest, most heartbreaking, angsty love story between Percy and Nico that spanned across 2 book series, just to try and end it with, "lol jk 🤪"
