Random Life Question But Does Anyone Know What Tf I Do With My Lil Brother (teenage) Bc He's Depressed

me writing an 80k+ word fic about Cabin 7 and exploring the lives of Michael Yew and Lee Fletcher, who are both practically nonexistent in pjo: light work

me writing a discussion post in college about the main character of a book: oh shit guys I don't think I'm built for this kind of pressure, 500 works is too many words

Brothers

Lee, Michael, and Will. I always thought Michael was heavily into the emo scene as a teen, due to his anger issues and height. He pierced his own ear and lip, and tried to do his tongue but Lee stopped him. Will thinks his older bother is the coolest ever and wants him to pierce his ears.

*deep sigh*

*walks into the room*

*sits at the table*

*slams hands on the table*

I need opinions

okay that was slightly more dramatic that necessary but I need serious opinions because I'm stuck and conflicted.

👍🏻

so! I am currently in the middle of writing a Michael Yew fic (surprise surprise) with large elements of Masonyew (surprise surprise it's like 90% of the content and they're nowhere near being together yet) and it's basically a very long fic that starts when Michael gets to camp at nine years old (my headcanon) and ends a few years after he comes back to life in some of my Michael Yew lives aus

right

that's the backstory

yes, that is a very long fic idea but I have it planned out and even though I'm only a minor section of the way thru I have hit a hurdle

here is where I need opinions

so, I may or may not have had a really weird idea and went

what if I made Michael type one diabetic and added that to his six mile long list of problems already, simply for character development

because I'm nice like that

so I'm currently warring with myself over whether or not to go thru with it because, I'm gonna be honest, I am not diabetic, nor do I know anyone who is diabetic, so all of my info has been researched heavily, but it's kinda in the name of diversifying camp half blood even more, because why not?

however, I'm not sure if by doing so I might be messing with his character a bit and maybe taking it too far, so I'm just gonna go ahead and go I need help

so, let's poll it

honesty is appreciated, if you hate the idea, please tell me

just try not to openly insult me, that would be appreciated

reblog for easter

Still thinking about Luke trying to get Lee back, while Kronos absolutely despises him.

The drakon cabin 7 fought off in BotL? Kronos sent him here hoping he would kill Lee. Instead, the dragon returned with arrows stuck in it in shape of "F U". Luke is in love and wants his husband back. Kronos wants this twink obliterated.

And don't get me started on Luke seeking him out. He constantly sends him gifts and letters, calls him when Lee's outside of camp, and he pops out next to him when Lee's out grocery shopping. Lee is this 👌 close to strangling him. The only thing stopping him is his cousins playing around the corner.

Jules: Who‘s that?

Mark: That‘s my boyfriend Kieran, he‘s the king of the Unseelie Court

Jules: Alright!

Jules: What do you have to tell me?

Ty: Kit is Faerie royalty and the descendant of the First Heir

Jules: Alright?

Jules: Who is this?

Dru: That‘s Ash, he‘s the son of Sebastian Morgenstern and the Seelie Queen, heir to the Seelie throne

Jules *muttering under his breath* : What the hell is going on in this household?

Tavvy *some years later*: I‘ve met someone

Jules: Is there any other Faerie royal that I don‘t know of?

FEBUWHUMP 2025 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through an open suggestion poll (in which we received over 4,000 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where 5,019 votes were submitted. the top 28 make up the core prompts, and the febuwhump mod's favourites that remain have become the alternates. the first prompt in the 28, "vocal chords", was our number one prompt of the vote, with 1,625 total votes.

i am so insanely excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and i hope they're inspiring enough to trigger a whole month's worth of creativity for you!

as an extra added challenge, some creators will be undertaking another, smaller goal, of including apples in each of their prompt fills as an ode to the wildly popular prompt suggestion of "apples" that didn't make it through to the poll. this is totally optional, but is a good extra challenge if you'd like to take part in it!

if you have any questions, please check out the faq before sending an ask, or skim the blog's previously asked questions to see if your question has already been answered.

please note: notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form released towards the end of febuwhump, and if you are interested in joining the febuwhmp discord server, the link will be available to do so for one week towards the end of january.

I love the hair braiding trope, but there is some serious debate about whether it's dwarves who have the hair-braiding customs or elves, so I'm here to settle that once and for all.

Legolas, hoping they just seem friendly and doesn't know dwarves have the same hair customs: Hey Gimli, could I help with your hair?

Gimli, hoping he just seems friendly and doesn't know elves have the same hair customs: Uh, sure!

Aragorn, who knows that hair braiding is romantic for both elves and dwarves: ......... WHat

I thought of a fanfic idea where it’s about Lee Fletcher growing up in camp half-blood and his life throughout of the years and I wanna bring him back to life buttttt I realized that sounds a lot like your fanfiction life of short archerr even though I didn’t take inspiration from that fanfic, I’m still gonna ask permission if it’s okay I write that fic

oh my gosh, absolutely! I definitely do not own the trope and that sounds awesome, go for it <333

maybe dm me when you post it? I'd love to read <33
