can you imagine Annabeth having a non-magical yankees hat but sometimes when she’s going too fast she forgets to check which one she’s grabbed so her and Percy are going out for a day and he’s like “are you ready?!” and she pops out of the room like “Ready!” and he’s looking around kinda confused and she’s all “I did it again, didn’t I?” “we gotta get you a Mets hat” “ew no I’ll stay invisible thanks”

dear god the sheer magic of being so invested in a book you just sit and read half of it feverishly without any ability to stop, just gulping down word after word like it's water in a desert and your eyes aren't fast enough for your mind and when you reach the last page you look up and realize you're not decades and miles away but in the space of your own room,,,, truly unmatched by any other human experience
It’s 2 am and I’m bawling bc I just finished The Song of Achilles. I thought I was prepared. I knew what was going to happen.
…I was not prepared.
for the love of god please start downloading your fanfics. People keep complaining that there isn’t an app for Ao3 YOU DON’T NEED AN APP. Here’s what you do:
go to Ao3 and find the fic you want to read
click (or tap) entire work at the top of the screen
click download. a list of options will come up.
I recommend epub if you’re on an iphone. if you’re not, i recommend downloading the kindle app (for free!) and choosing the pdf option. (you don’t need the kindle app, but you can convert the pdf to kindle format for easier reading! if you don’t want to download the app, you can still read it under the “files” app.
it now splits into phone or computer.
FOR IPHONE (i don’t have an android so idk how it works there i’m sorry)
FOR EPUB: click the “open in” button at the bottom of the screen. it will show a list of options. “books” is what you want to tap. if it’s not there, scroll to the right and click “more,” then tap “books.”
FOR PDF: same thing, click “open in,” then “kindle” or “files.”
WAIT. you HAVE to wait until the fic opens in your app (ie you see the the actual words of the story) to close the app, otherwise IT WILL NOT SAVE TO YOUR PHONE.
FOR COMPUTER:
click the download at the bottom of the window.
WAIT until the book fully opens for you to close out of the app. if you close too early, it will not save.
that’s it! If you have any questions lmk, but otherwise happy fic reading!
They make me so happy and extremely sad..
