Getting back into the Magnus Chase books means that I get to remember the absolute beauty of Blitz and Hearth. Two lovely men who are rejected by their families for being different.
Blitzen is a brilliant artist who cannot survive in the sunlight, whereas Hearthstone is a talented rune mage who can’t survive in darkness. And yet, they are inseparable.
Hearth is known for not showing a significant amount of emotion, yet any time Blitz shows up after being separated from him, Hearth practically launches himself at the dwarf.
Blitz is unendingly protective over Hearth; always there to catch him when he feints, never missing a chance to defend the elf’s abilities.
They’re casually and non sexually intimate all the time. Whether they are queer platonic, romantic, or a secret third thing, they’re absolutely devoted to one another.
And I think that’s beautiful.
GUYS
I JUST FINISHED HILDA
IM GENUINELY CRYING
let me go on my little neurodivergent rant
This and bapc are genuinely the best things I've EVER watched and that's not an understatement
It is filled with so many messages, lore, etc. And it's so bittersweet
The ending was IMMACULATE
I loved how we got to see all the characters at the end and everyone is so genuinely happy
Tilly and that guy are together <333
I love the pooka so freaking much
This was the best thing ever oh my god
The show is so meaningful in so many different ways
I love hildas grandparents and how they keep watching over hilda and them
I love the friend group so so much
I love Johanna so much too
And Victoria and literally every character ever
The fairy realm was so cool and I love the lore for it
I have so much to say but speechless at the same time
ALSO I ***ADORE*** THE DEERFOXES THEYRE MY FAVORITE THING EVER
I love that twigs parents still get to interact with him and the fight scene between the deerfoxes and mushroom things was sick
If you have been wanting to watch something new or need a sign to watch hilda, THIS IS IT
PLEASE GO WATCH IT
I love this show
I absolutely love that Penelope arranges the competition of stringing Odysseus' bow for the suitors BECAUSE she saw the storm and (rightfully) believes it means Odysseus has returned. She distracts them with a task she knows they can not complete to give Odysseus time to come up with a plan (and she has his bow out and ready for him, she has provided a weapon for him.) She's just as smart and cunning as Odysseus and it's shown beautifully in this saga
homunculous son or unkillable elder god daughter
to all the warriors who will feel pressured to shave their legs now that it’s warm enough to wear shorts… HOLD THE LINE!!!

Dionysus watching Clarisse nurse Chris back to health after he went crazy in the Labyrinth: I think I’ve seen this film before.
Chiron: And you didn’t like the ending?
Dionysus: What? No, I’m still married, aren’t I?

Dionysus watching Clarisse kill the Drakon and parade it’s skin around after it killed Silena, who ran into battle in Clarisse’s armor:
If I had a nickel for every time that girl was in a relationship that paralleled a famous Ancient Greek couple spectacularly, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
