Can I pick two please? If so, then orange and green. But mainly green. 

I mean, I'd love to read the Riordanverse books and WOF for the first time, yes, but I dont' mind rererererereading. Yellow would honestly be awesome, buuuuut it kinda feels like Anemone's spell on Kinkajou, ya know? Like, that's honestly unfair to them. Also then a whole bunch of other fans would come after me b/c why does almost the entire fandom have a crush on that character, too? well the other two are side characters, so that would probably be fine...

ANYWAYS blue? Um I don't think I really have one, so yeah?

And purple? The characters that have died in my books either needed to die for the plot (*spoilers ahead* silena, jason, all the characters that died in skyward, etc), or I didn't really like them (*spoilers ahead* scarlet, blister, burn, cottonmouth, sorta darkstalker but not really [I mean, not really w/the dying part], etc.), or it didn't really make me feel sad (*spoilers again* jason [sorry], etc), or they're still alive yet dead? idk Magnus Chase is weird. Oh wait. I just remembered some deaths that made me sad(*spoilers* prim [I cried 3 times at least], freedom, hurl, etc)... okay but like I'm fine even though they died. Like, I'm not completely devastated. 

but orange? yes please! I want to have alll the books I want w/o ya know bein' broke. 

but probably, if i had to choose one, it'd be green. Okay, so I desperately, practically need to live with my book characters. Especially in the Riordanverse at Camp Half-Blood. I have my reasons. Sure, it'd be oh so incredibly dangerous, but I'm totally willing to take the chance. To quote the song "Strong", when Sally is telling Percy sorta about CHB, "there's a place, you need to go, where you belong. where the things that make you different are the things that make you special..." I have said so many times how I need to live at CHB... I've probably written an essay about it in my head while trying to fall asleep multiple times. This is pretty much all I want... yeah 

okay this is getting long sorry this was fun thanks

Hahahaha I totally didnt see this until now but um...yeah. 

Let's just say other than *ahem* that one furry i dated--DONT ASK LOL--my love life is sad. very sad. and book characters are way less flawed (or at least their flaws are way more tolerable) than real people. so.

An agonizing choice...question about yellow--does it bring that fictional character to life? Because if so...*cough* Anyway I think I'd choose orange...I am anticipating being a starving artist so I will take any charity I can get ^_^

Probably green, but red and yellow are tantalizing too.
