This Is A Joking Rant So Don’t Mind Me

Hazel is at camp half blood one summer for a slightly more extended stay than usual. Frank had been extra busy with praetor duties ever since Reyna left to join the Hunters. Hazel had been getting a little bored and it would be nice to see the Greek side of the 7 again.

While she’s staying, the hunters happen to come through. Hazel just wanted to catch up with Reyna but she ends up getting along with most of the hunters really well. She spends a decent amount of time with them while they’re at camp.

Nico seems to get fidgety and agitated the moment the hunters arrive at camp half blood. He speaks with Reyna briefly, but the hunters keep to themselves mostly, especially regarding male campers. But he seems even more apprehensive when he notices Hazel spending time with them. Hazel isn’t sure why until she walks into their cabin one night.

It’s completely dark but she can see Nico is awake, sitting upright on his bed but facing the corner. “Nico?” She questions softly. She runs her hand over the wall and eventually finds a light switch. Nico seems to cringe at the light and rests his head into the corner wall. As Hazel walks over Nico seems to draw more into himself. “Nico?” She repeats, this time placing her hand on his shoulder. Nico turns a bit but doesn’t face her. His head is still down and his hair covers more of his face. Hazel noticed now that his breathing is heavy and uneven. “Are you going with them” he asks in a low even whisper. The one Hazel knows he uses when he’s holding back. “I know you said you and Frank don’t get much time together anymore. You’ve been spending a lot of time with the Hunters.” Hazel was a little taken back for a moment. “I mean, I guess I have been but..” she trailed off for a moment, looking for the right words to explain but she didn’t get the chance, Nico cracked. Suddenly he choked out a sob. His hair fell back and Hazel could see for the first time that he’d been crying. “Please don’t go with them” he pleaded “I can’t- I just-“ his words caught in his throat. They had fought monsters and titans. She’s heard him talk about Tartarus and the bronze jar. But here, in their cabin, He looked more scared and desperate that she’d ever seen him. “I can’t- I can’t loose you to them” he managed, even though his sobs were becoming stronger and more frequent. “Hey, hey” Hazel shushed him and took both his hands “I’m not joining the hunters. I got along with some of the girls but that’s all, I’m not leaving camp Jupiter, I’m not leaving Frank and I’m not leaving you, Nico.” His hands were still shaking as she held them. He made a noise somewhere between a laugh and a sob. “Promise?” Hazel made an X motion over her heart. “Promise.”

Nico pulled Hazel into him and held her tightly. Hazel was a little surprised, but she’d gotten to know this soft side of her brother. “Besides” she said “You still have to be the flower boy at my wedding, right?”

Q!mike and pac deserve to kill q!foolish at least once for this this sucks for them

Agree. After they break out, if they wish to do something against Foolish they more than deserve to. At least they might break out with Walter Bob so there's at least a good side to being arrested.

This is gonna be a weird headcanon/theory but in the eternals we know how some of the characters were referred as Greek gods because through out history the people who lived in Greece saw them and made the religion around them.

Thena is Athena Goddess of War.

Ikaris the boy who flew to close to the sun, I wouldn’t be surprised if people though he was Zeus too.

Phatos low key sounds like Hephaestus.

This low key got me thinking, what where Makkari and Druig saw as. Then it clicked, Druig probably wasn’t around humans a lot and he was always wearing black and always brooding by himself. People most definitely saw him as Hades.

Makkari was probably seen as Persephone. She is known for being super kind and patient. The only time we see her genuinely mad was when she thought Ikaris killed Druig. But I wonder how people saw Makkari and Druigs relationship if they were related to those gods.

It’s dumb but it would be interesting

Pac's talk about Arkanis

(disclaimer: I'm not fluent in Portuguese so I may have missed or misunderstood something but this is what I gathered)

It's going to be a "survival and RP" series - there's also going to be enigmas and mysteries, but it's also going to have regular Minecraft gameplay like building houses and such

The "first season" of the series will begin very soon ("not like, next week, but soon")

Pac wanted a studio for the series so he, Batista, Tayr, Himaru, and Guhzera made one - Boiss Studios. They've been working on the project for a couple of months now

They have a team of programmers, artists, and actors(!) for the server

There'll be new mods that we haven't seen in Minecraft yet, they're being made specifically for the series

It's going to be a completely original story

There's going to be 20 participants total! So far people who have been revealed (via Twitter here and here) are Meiaum, Bagi, GabiPeixe, Guaxinim, Maethe, Choke, Matt, Felps, Pac, and Coreano.

Pac emphasised that "for now" there's only going to be people who speak Portuguese in the series, which made a lot of people in chat wonder if there's gonna be Portugal-Portuguese speakers there, but he didn't say anything else. He also trailed off mysteriously about the "for now" part

Pac said he'd be streaming basically every day. the people are doubtful of this but who knows

There will be "probably weekly" events, maybe some related to specific dates as well

Regarding the story: There's a city called Valigma and it has a mayor named J. The mayor has a Twitter account and "he's very suspicious honestly". He wants to recruit "experts" for their talents, for a purpose that is currently unknown

"What talent does Pac cubito have? I don't know, we'll have to find out."

(paraphrased) "If you're upset that your streamer isn't participating: Who knows, maybe there'll be an event in the future and they'll appear, who knows."

There'll be one central story but every member can create their own story as well

There won't be subtitles like there was with the Qlobal Translator in QSMP because that mod was made for QSMP specifically. Maybe other people will have the Twitch subtitle extension like Pac does, but there won't be anything in-game

It's a mainly stream-focused SMP, and people can make stream highlights if they want. Pac said there'd probably be things posted on his own clips channel

There'll be an official Arkanis Twitch channel that'll "go live sometimes"

"Is Pac on Arkanis going to be the same Pac cubito as in other universes? I don't know! It's possible!"

It's been a very cool thing for Pac to be part of the team working on it, he's very excited and hopes people will enjoy it

It's called Arkanis from Latin "arcanus" meaning "mysterious"

There might be a fanart museum like in QSMP

and then he ended stream. I may have missed or misheard something so if anyone else wants to add on feel free but that's the general gist I got!

Bruhhhhh Pac and Mike look so miserable,

Mike asking to share a cell with Pac and the guards saying no. They look on both of their facessss. You can see they look so miserable not being able to be next to each other 24/7. Give Richarlyson his parents back!!!

Free Pac and Mike til it’s backwards!!!

So....Tazercraft again huh? /aff

I could go on for a bit about how Pac e Mike behaved during that kidnapping, how much their reactions spoke volumes about their trauma and how fucking good these 2 are at breaking people's hearts while teasing at this situation multiple times during the stream (also having heard some of their voice acting of a lot older videos just how fucking good Pac has gotten at acting like Jesus christ my heart). But I feel like a good amount of posts in the tags have summed up everything I would've wanted to say amazingly and I definitely recommend scrolling through them.

I wanna talk about something else tho. Richas. Moreso his relationship with Pac.

Richas has said before that Pac e Mike are his chill dads, the ones that have always let him get away with shit or encouraged his shenanigans but he still has always carried different relationships with each of them individually. He's a bit more distant from Mike due to the time where Mike isolated himself away from Richas in the fear of Richas loosing his last life because of him. Richas knows Mike is dangerous, he knows Mike's a bit unhinged and I'd like to think that unhinged almost destructive chaos is what Richas got from Mike. (Taking for example yesterday when he warned Bad that Mike is the one that can kill him) Richas knows Mike is smart and even tho he doesn't have the knowledge to talk with Mike about it he still relishes in the chaos his Dad Mike's ideas bring.

Now Richas relationship with Pac is what peaked my attention yesterday though and it showed me just how much of his emotional personality he got from Pac.

Starting with the obvious it's that Richas isn't often seen sad, he's not seen as a sad egg but rather a mischievous ball of positive social energy and that's how Pac is seen by anyone aside from Mike and nowadays Fit. Everyone sees Pac as this emotional ball of sunshine who's always happy if a little anxious, but both he and Richas hold their actual emotions close. They're rocks for others before they are people who let their own emotions out. Pac having always been the emotional rock for Mike while Richas has always been one for all his parents. It's fascinating to see how genuinely similar they are with this.

Which is why yesterday when Pac told Richas what had happened I feel like was the first time we saw Richas react to the news that one of his dad's got kidnapped again. Obviously he's bound to Crack at some point, he's a kid after all. But to have Richas be this clear about his emotional body language and distress is rare in terms of kidnapping. Seeing him physically recoil, frantically and in disbelief shake his head stung so much cause it's the first time we've seen Richas react this strongly to something like this infront of one of his parents. And I feel like it's because he has that more emotional relationship with Pac.

He let's himself be this openly emotionally vulnerable with Pac because he knows how Pac is. It's like how you have that one person you're not bothered to cry infront of because you know how they are when emotional and they know how you are. They're both people who are painfully aware of how many emotional burden they carry of other's just by being themselves and I feel like a big part of Richas view of Pac comes from that too! (Him saying to Bad that Pac is the most precious Brazilian and that Bad should be careful what he does to him) Richas knows how important Pacs emotional stability is to the people around him and how I feel like he himself takes after Pac a lot in just constantly pushing through things. Because that's what's Pac always done and Richas had to learn this from someone after all.

That's why the way that stream ended hurt me so much more, Richas coping mechanism after deep emotional trauma is just wanting to sleep. Pac actively said he wanted to do nothing but sleep now and Richas KNEW what that implied, he himself knows best what that out of Pacs mouth means because I'd like to think that that's what he learnt in the early days of the favela 5. That's how he learnt to deal with emotions because Pac had always been the one to be so open with his own to Richas. It's why Richas didn't stop him. It's why Richas just helped him get to his room and sat at his side while he played a melody in hopes that he'd ease some of the emotional pain his dad currently carried. Richas still ended up being the emotional rock in this, but his behavior with Pac was so much more emotionally charged yesterday. He was so much more vulnerable himself because he is so much more similar to Pac and actually seeing it this obvious was almost painful.

Richas and Pac are used to dealing with their emotions on their own so for Richas seeing Pac break this openly infront of him was distressing because he knows how much it takes for someone, who buries distress deep down so he can carry the weight of others peoples feelings, to break this upfront. To dump all his emotional pain onto someone and I feel like Richas was for the first time openly struggling to be a emotional rock until he gathered his bearings.

And I'd like to think that he slept alongside Pac for the same reasons yesterday, hoping that the dreams would take any tears away that were so close to falling while he was awake.

"Ramon, kill this mf"

Listen I was feeling pretty neutral towards Foolish up until Fit's little interrogation earlier today. "Well let's see if they've still got it in em." That's INSANE right like I'm not the only one who's jaw hit the floor when that was his response??

Foolish can only claim "just a silly little guy status" for so long. At some point he wanders into malicious neutrality and willful ignorance with the amount he doesn't care about the consequences of his actions and their effects on other islanders. Fit literally looked Foolish in the eyes and told him EXACTLY why Pac and Mike being arrested was such a bad thing and he still. didn't seem to care.

Alright this might be a weird question but I’m not the smartest. I heard from some tumblr posts that Pactw had closed captions but I don’t know how to turn them on twitch. Does he actually have Closed Captions and if he does how do I turn them on? I’m watching Arkanis right now without subtitles and am going off of the little Portuguese I know and vibes. Help please?

“bree has two hands! let’s make bree x nick x sel poly and end stupid cliche love triangles.” fandom loves to say this line when there’s a WoC particular a Black woman as the main love interest and they want to ship the two yt boys together w/o coming off as racist.

for example the witcher fandom with yennefer. despite yennefer having “two hands” as of now geralt x jaskier is the biggest ship with 13262 fics on ao3, geralt x yennefer has 1454 fic and the poly ship has 812.

bffr and just admit the real reason why y’all want that.

I couldn’t watch the entirety of Philza’s vod earlier so I’m just watching the last like 40 mins and the part where he’s having a heart to heart with Chayanne and Tallulah was so sweet but Chayanne saying that the admin was shaking when they got grabbed by the giant squid a couple of streams back because they thought it was the end really stuck out to me. Like obviously as viewers of the streamers we can see clearly how attached they are to the eggs but it must be the same for the admins that play the eggs like they also have spent hours most days for MONTHS with each other and the players so the fact that that can all be over so quickly must genuinely be nerve wrecking. I also feel like it brings up the discussion of people who are like “we just need to get rid of the eggs now” “kill the eggs off” because these are characters played by REAL people who have evidently become attached too (Chayannes admin saying they were shaking when grabbed by the giant squid, Leo’s admin saying they cried after losing their first life, Ramon’s admin saying that they were shaking after they found the building was filled with tnt, Bobby’s admin saying he cried after losing his final life in the dungeon, dapper’a admin saying they teared up watching bad’s reaction to his nightmare etc) like there’s so much emotion attached to these characters, not only to us as viewers but also the players and admins idk I’m rambling at this point I just feel like sometimes some people forget that there’s real people behind the eggs who care a lot about the characters too 🫶🏻
