fanfiction isn’t enough, I need to chew on him

[athenascrows]

yes absolutely. and I raise you one of my personal favorite headcanons: I think the cj kids would have dyscalculia instead of dyslexia. since rome's language was latin, it doesn't make sense for them to have dyslexia with english rooted in latin. with the greeks, the dyslexia is due to their brains being hardwired to greek letters; i think the romans would be hardwired to roman numerals!!!

also autism would make a lot of sense for the romans as well bc of their structured nature w/ war games and fighting formations

do you think the demigods are more likely to be autistic as well

like, the reason they’re canonically more likely to have adhd is bc their brains are hardwired for survival or whatever right, and they’re more likely to be dyslexic bc their brains are hardwired for ancient greek, and anyways that logic is kinda silly but i love it bc rick did it bc of his son’s adhd and dyslexia right. representation

anyways i think it would make sense for them to be more likely to be autistic, too

like, they tend to be more sensitive to their surroundings and pick up on things others don’t, allowing them to see through the mist. it would make sense for their brains to be really hardwired to pick up patterns and maintain strict routines ie training, etc + repetitive movements could help them out on the battlefield in the same way adhd does.

a lot of them have sort of obsessive special interests in things related to their godly parents, like nico w death, annabeth w architecture, percy w the sea, etc. plus, they tend to not feel like they “fit in” or “belong” in the real world, and before they find out abt being a demigod a lot of them think there’s something wrong w them. it’s only once they meet other ppl like them that they realize they aren’t alone

obviously a lot of this is also associated w adhd, but w rick’s logic i think this is fun to think of and makes a lot of sense! plus ✨ comorbidity ✨ exists and ppl w one disorder or condition often have others as well. adhd and autism often go hand in hand!

Jorge did an excellent job in showing Penelope's character and why Odysseus and Penelope are made for each other in just two songs

Of course throughout the whole saga we are told Odysseus loves Penelope more than anything, she and Telemachus are his one life line and one motivation to getting home

But when we finally heard Penelope, in her two actual songs (by that I mean not counting Ody's hallucinations and the siren), we are shown why

In the challenge, she's smart, shown by her weaving and unweaving the shroud, and in setting a challenge that she knows only Odysseus can complete once she suspects he's close to home. She's steadfast in her love, never faltering in the face of 108 strong men taunting her, and pressuring her every single day. She's a queen, holding herself with dignity and authority. She's an amazing woman.

In Would You Fall In Love With Me Again, she once again demonstrates her intellect both logically and emotionally by testing Odysseus with the wedding bed. Then she breaks down in tears and anger letting go of all the pain and suffering and longing and yearning and agony she's gone through in the past 20 years. She was in so much pain and agony, but she kept waiting.

This is a story about a man who moved mountains and seas for his love and a woman who stood still in the midst of storms and terrors for hers.
