#(I don't take criticism)

Can we talk about how interesting Percy’s dynamics with the Olympians actually is? Like, both on an individual and on a general level?

He and Ares have a rivalry. A genuine rivalry, based on mutual dislike. Frank described them in Son of Neptune as “two old war buddies talking trash” and Phobos described Percy in “Stolen Chariot” as a “sworn enemy” of Ares. That’s actually insane if you think about it. Those are the immortal god of war, and a sixteen-year-old teenager. Ares would have been fine with Percy becoming a god, because he looked forward to just fight with him or beat him up for eternity.

Percy is the only known male demigod Artemis respects, who won the friendship of not one but two of her lieutenants.

He is the demigod, who challenged Dionysus views on heroes as a whole, and that, as a son of Poseidon, half-brother to Theseus, the hero who betrayed and left Dionysus wife. The hero, who ignited Dionysus hatred of half-bloods in the first place. Still, Dionysus placed his trust in Percy to save both Olympus and Pollux in the Last Olympian.

He and Nico are the only two demigods to ever canonically acknowledge Hestia. Percy even sacrificed hope to her, which was probably the biggest sacrifice and the biggest sign of respect she ever received from a demigod.

Aphrodite takes a special interest in his love life.

Hermes and him are on pretty friendly terms. So far, that Percy even refers to him as a “friend” in the Staff of Hermes. He is also the only demigod to ever completely openly criticize him on how he handled Luke’s situation and doesn’t back down from a rather intense argument. At the end of the last Olympian, Hermes gives Percy a list of his children outside of Camp half-blood and asks him to personally escort them to safety.  

Despite Hades trying to imprison him and threatening him with death, Percy is, together with Nico, the reason why Hades and his children are accepted at Camp Half-Blood.

While Hera dislikes him, she still acknowledges Percy’s importance for her plans and describes him for one as “constant as a compass needle” when it comes to his friends, and also as someone who inspires loyalty in “Son of Neptune.”

Poseidon, centuries-old god of the ocean, who probably had thousands of children in his life called Percy his favourite son in Battle of the labyrinth. After a conversation about Antaeus, who, for over three thousand years has sacrificed people and monsters in honor of Poseidon. Still, it is Percy, who is his favourite son.

He is the only modern demigod to get offered godhood but chose instead to use their favor to create a better world for all demigods and to request forgiveness for the gods who fought on Kronos’ side, which changes some of the quintessential rules of their world.

Percy is blunt and not afraid to openly challenge them on their views and actions, but because he is probably the most powerful and accomplished hero to ever live, and because he has saved them and the world on numerous occasions, they can’t just ignore him or kill him off, and even have to listen to him on some rare occasions.

None of the other demigods really have that, at least to this scale.

It’s so interesting to me, how Percy’s relationship to the Olympians, both negative and positive, echoes more the relationship they would have to another god, than to a half-blood.

I was reading 'One Bad End is Enough' by AsterEfflores (best art ever, btw. Completely astonishing) and, damn, Tristan is so rightfully salty.

I, too, want to scold at the canon when everyone and their mothers mention the past Cale (og!Cale, even if they don't know) as "the trash young master". Trash, trash, trash— SHUT UP. YOU'RE ALIVE BECAUSE HE WENT FOR DECADES OF WAR FIRST AND STILL ACCEPTED THAT DAMN DEAL.

Man is the only damn person who remembers the past timeline. He's the only one who knows exactly how much they lost last time. Only he knows how horrible it ended.

The family he wanted to be safe and happy so bad that he dedicated years to pretend he's a worthless heir, the worst option. All of them dead. And when he's about to die—

If I were him and had lost everyone I loved and saw the world be burned down by a maniac, I would be fucking relieved to finally see everyone again and rest.

But he wanted them to be happy and safe. He wanted to help his reincarnated mom. He wanted things to be different even if he couldn't see it.

AND NO ONE EVEN NOTICES THAT HE'S NOT THERE. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHO HE WAS. NO ONE KNEW HIM ENOUGH TO REALIZE, OR CARED ENOUGH TO ASK.

It's fucking sad and it piss me off.

Even more because the person in question is an absolute cinnamon roll who says things like "I'll save this world because I want everyone to live peaceful lives" (i probably got the quote wrong, but that was the spirit of it) so casually and without a sign of shame. He lived a life for others and hets a new life and, what does he does? He uses it to make everyone safe and happy. He takes care of the team he barely knows, tries his best for a kid who was once his mom, and keeps working despite having the money to quit. He goes around smiling though he doesn't have to. He's genuinely happy and glad. I—

Man, Tristan is so right. He's my spirit animal.

hopefully this will never happen bc Disco Elysium does NOT need a live action, but if there ever were one made I would hope the casting director would understand the need to cast Matt Berry as Harry Du Bois. I mean, c'mon.

you can't get a more perfect match than that.

Alex Claremont-Diaz' favorite Taylor Swift album is Reputation but his favorite song by her is London Boy. It always makes him smile. He sings it while dancing to Henry, winking and blowing kisses his way. Henry blushes every time, he loves it.

Henry's favorite album is Speak Now but his favorite song is Anti-Hero.

you walk with blood on your feet blood on your hands blood on your mind you think you have to bring pain but deep down you're hurting

ID in alt text and under the cut.

[ID:

Five gifs.

The first gif shows Murderdock's feet and the tip of his cane from behind. His feet, the bottom of his dress pants, and his cane are splattered with blood, while he is walking. His shadow is trailing after him. There is a text appearing next to him, saying, "You walk with BLOOD on your FEET".

The second gif shows Murderdock's blood splattered hands, clenching and unclenching. Between them is the text "BLOOD on your HANDS".

The third gif shows part of Murderdock's face. A reflection is going over his glasses, while a red beam comes out of the side of his head. The beam is metaphorical. Under the beam appears the text "BLOOD on your MIND".

The fourth gif shows the silhouettes of Murderdock and an unknown man. Murderdock is stabbing him through the chest with a katana, blood splattering out of the wound. They are framed by text at the top and bottom, saying, "You think you have to bring PAIN".

The fifth gif shows Murderdock in profile. He is hunched over, hands open, fingers like claws. His expression is distraught and he is crying red tears. He is framed by text at the top and bottom, saying, "But deep down you're HURTING".

"we heard the nerevarine set sail for Akavir and Vivec vanished during the Oblivion Crisis" "I wonder where they are now"

I stumbled on the @nerevar-quote-and-star pinup challenge and ached to do the "sunkissed" one but then my life happened and my computer crashed and then I added Vivec and now I'm past the days for that prompt so this is late! I hope that's cool lol

couldn't help but immediately think about my nerevarine, Isavyn, who 100% fucks off into the distance with Vivec in tow post-tribunal/bloodmoon to go farting around Tamriel. It's healthy and fun, for someone's definition of healthy and fun.
