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.

Felt cute might distance myself from everyone idk
Annabeth running the Athena cabin is actually one of the most realistic things about CHB to me because autistic 12 year old girls are another fucking breed. At 12 years old I would wake myself up at 5:50 before making myself a healthy smoothie and scrambled eggs and then leaving for school at 6:50 to be over an hour early and go straight to the library. Can you imagine if I’d had another six kids under my command? No wonder they’re winning Capture the Flag so much.
im watching skins, and im already on gen 2 and i fucking hate cook
Like seriously im so fucking disgusted with everything he says and i hate him so much as a character
sometimes you listen to an orchestra and you’re like maybe the magic i stopped believing in when i was eleven does exist in some form
the moon in paintings. x
Heyy, I love ur content and can I request a Web weaving of being alone or loneliness? Thankyou <3

I just finished banana fish and 1. I refuse to accept that ending 2. My mind is filled with how they could have been happy… their dates and casual days. Like imagine that!!!! Where would Ash take Eiji, those late night talks and those nights when it’s just cuddling until they had fallen asleep. Holding hands, cooking together, forehead kisses, tight hugs and gentle hugs. Ash reading while Eiji is sleeping in his lap, Eiji cooking while Ash is telling him funny stories… talks and talks and talks… cleaning each other’s tears… god!!!! Im so inlove with them :(
I hope 2023 is good to my mom
