If you enjoy my posts and can afford it, I would greatly appreciate it if you donated to my new ko-fi page! Each of these posts represents multiple hours of unpaid labor. I love writing for this blog, but I’m also an underpaid 20-something trying to stay afloat. I’ve made this master post of every essay I’ve written for this blog as a way to show my appreciation in advance of any support. If you donate, to further show my gratitude and appreciation, I’ll take requests for essay topics in the ‘messages of support.’
If you can’t afford to donate via ko-fi, another great way to show your support is simply by reblogging posts that you find useful and helping my blog reach new writers.
Thanks so much!

Genuinely curious so rb with your fav Ghibli movie, Disney Princess™️ movie, non Princess Disney movie, and none Disney animated film 👀📝
Nico was running, holding Jason's hands, dragging the boy, hiding behind a trash can, in a dead-end.
"Leo's coming," muttered Nico, rising the shirt of Jason "We'll go to my father's castle and kill your soul if you dare to die."
"You're pretty when you're worried."
Nico sighed, pouring nectar on the wound, bloody and green, thanks to the venom of the dracaena.
"I love you, and you don't have to say it back."
The son of Hades froze, it was the first time Jason tell him that words and his heart ached because of the situation.
"Don't you dare think I would let you die."
Filling the mouth of Jason with ambrosia, Nico touched the boy's face, praying to Hermes, asking for a fast and safe trip to Camp Half-Blood.
"You know, I love you too, and your death won't make you leave this relationship."
"The son of Hades, in a romance with a ghost."
"Shut up and eat your ambrosia."
Seeing the wound, it looked less green and smaller, but they needed to be in the infirmary, soon.
"Superman got near kryptonite?"
"I love you, Leo."
Valdez was over Festus, smiling at Nico, looking gorgeous, with the sun behind him, his hair, curly and loose all over his face, tanned, the trickster smile.
"Nico said he loves me and would date even as a ghost."
"Don't make plans without me, I want a ghost boyfriend too."
"Nobody is going to die soon," growled Nico, helping Jason to climb the dragon.
When Leo held the hand of Nico, the young boy blushed, tighten the grip on the hands.
"I love you too, for the record."
"Leo," interrupted Jason "your hair is on fire."
classics are like: you went so extremely hard with the misogyny that it turned into homoeroticism
disney in color ⇨ pink.
“i could go running, and racing, and dancing, and chasing, and leaping, and bounding, hair flying, heart pounding, and splashing, and reeling, and finally feeling, now’s when my life begins.”
Leo always enjoyed seeing Jason spar, the way he moves, like the wind, sometimes fast and destructive, like an hurricane, or slow, quiet and silent, like a heavy summer day, and the experience get better when the blond used his powers, the bolts coming out of his gladius, the raw energy, the way he moves with the wind, using the air to affect his enemies, jumping higher that any human being, staying up in the sky, like a superhero, like Superman.
Jason always looked confident when he was fighting, like he knows what he was, a fighter.
“Cariño” said Leo, sitting up, stretching his limbs “You killed that dummies, you can rest a little bit, I’m sure they won’t wake up and take revenge, di Angelo isn’t close to revive them”
“They weren’t alive, Nico can’t…”
Leo kissed the Son of Jupiter, fast and humid, making a really high smack sound, giggling after the face of Jason, the blush and the sweet smile, The Stupid Boy in Love kind of smile like Piper like to call.
“You can rest, you are not Superman, no the real one, you have weaknesses”
“But the Saturnalias are coming, and Reyna want me to fight against Percy or Nico, or both, and, as the only Roman, I have to shine”
Seeing the face of Jason, Leo could guess that the boy wasn’t sleeping the right hours, the bags under his eyes, the shineless hair, the rigid muscles, all Jason screamed tired, and the hearth of Leo icht, because his boyfriend was worrying too much, at the point of being sick, because of his duty.
“Jay Jay, you are blond, your hair is always shining”
The deep, sweet laugh, make Leo happy, holding the sword, he put it back in the case hanging from Jason hips, rubbing his hands along the waist and back of the boy, bringing him closer, in a hug.
“I’m the champion of Juno, I have to be the best”
“You are the golden boy of New Rome, the favorite pup of Lupa, you were essential to both wars, you are their champion, I think the people will be happy if all of you gave a great show, and Hazel can be there too”
Intertwining his fingers in Leo’s curls, Jason sighed deep, stretching the hug, kissing the head of the Son of Hephaestus, smiling happy.
“And I lost enough of my daily Sexy Time, is a lost that my boyfriend trained super hard and I can’t enjoy the looks”
It was my fic!!!!
And the art was lovely, a pleasure to work with you.
It’s that time of year again! the @superbatbigbang arrives with amazing art and fic once again. I had the pleasure of illustrating this tender scene for I Could Love You, a heart wrenchingly honest and sweet story about finding yourself and falling in love.
Here’s a link to the fic!! www.archiveofourown.org/works/32780587
