and also "putting everyone in a simulation will make it all ok 👍" and also "let's park next to this random system's sun" and also "we can't live on our own planet because of our own folly" and so on

Hot take, but something about this scene with what it does to Annabeth’s character, and what it represents really bothers me.

For context, she, Hazel and Piper are being cornered by Octavian and two other roman soldiers at Charleston Harbor. At this point they are the only enemies present, but they know others are quickly approaching. They have to get back to the Argo II, so that they, Frank, Leo, Jason, Percy and Hedge can escape and continue to safely sail/ fly to Rome. So, Annabeth drops her dagger into the lake and calls on Percy for help, who then easily defeats Octavian and the others.

My question is why make her do that?

It’s a three against three fight.

Even if we assume that, at this point in time, Piper hadn’t trained much and wouldn’t be able to hold her own in a fight (even though she has spent around 6 months training in camp halfblood), Annabeth and Hazel on their own should have been able to defeat Octavian and two no-name roman soldiers fairly easily.

Hazel is probably the second or third most powerful demigod after Percy and maybe Nico, and Annabeth is a war veteran, who has trained in Camp Half-Blood since she was seven years old and has been part of three quests. Yet, they need Percy to bail them out?

I understand that this is simply supposed to be a cute moment, and Rick Riordan probably didn’t think much about it, but it represents a very annoying trend in his writing, in which he focuses more on portraying Percy and Annabeth as the "perfect couple", than on developing their individual characters, and honestly the more I reread hoo the more tried I get of it, and the less I like Percabeth as a romantic relationship.

Like, it's insane how much more I like both characters when they are not around one another in that series.

a ref of jeb i made for a thing i'm making teehee

(more thoughts in the tags bc i'm shy but his design is mostly based off of his mpn and live appearance! i got the idea to tear his lab coat up and finally decided to make his pants darker like his live action ver from @/fluffydeoxys' design and the elbow bandages from someone who gave him elbow pads but i can't find them SOBS.

i see his bandages as his way to keep himself together in some fear he'd come apart lol

also thought about the cross necklace from @/mersei47's design and it's on the mpn card of him! i did put some beads to make it appear a bit more rosary like but never able to finish even a single mystery on it. no one to reach out to but yourself now!)

[canisalbus]

All of this who would be lamb and goat got me thinking

So I decided to have my go at it with drawing them as characters from my favourite game: Cult of The Lamb!

(edited post after the last ask, oops!)

I keep thinking about what that anonymous said "If Jimmy is the canary then (almost) every other player is the coal miner for being complicit in his suffering and bringing him down in the mine with the expectation that he will die before them, for his life has been chosen to be of less value" because that's the only interpretation of the "coal miner" assignment that makes sense to me. I've been informed/reminded that a canary brought into a coal mine doesn't actually have to die and can still fulfill its function, but the whole "canary curse" idea is reliant on the thought that Jimmy WILL and HAS TO die

And now I'm genuinely curious as to why Tango and Mumbo have ever been assigned coal miner specifically? Because Tango died together with him in Double Life? Whilst the canary may not have to die, Tango didn't necessarily try to stop it and in fact expected Jimmy's death instead and quickly accepted it, even if he did care for Jimmy in DL. Did the canary just fail its function and whole reason it's brought down to the mine to begin with by dropping dead at the same time as the miner instead of giving any forewarning? Assuming everyone else isn't also a miner

In Mumbo's case, because of Mumbo's tendency to die second? So the implication is that he took Jimmy down into the mine but failed to leave in time after the canary's death, whilst everyone else remains above ground? In that sense the canary has also failed its function which contradicts the whole canary curse labelling to begin with

Again I'm genuinely curious lol

Also the "Tango is the coal mine" type of thought too. That one I have absolutely no theories for so I'd love to hear any explanation. I guess the coal mine could be taken as a passive factor, but in my mind all the players are already complicit by being passive (except for BigB. That is the only truly passive guy in the series because he lives in his own world and doesn't take to almost anything anyone else says. Although I wouldn't call him a coal mine? He's like. A fly on the wall somewhere completely detached). Not all of them necessarily wish to take the canary down in the mine but it's something that's continued to be done so they just go along with it, it's just the order of things, and they're unaware that the canary's life can be preserved whilst still fulfilling its function, versus people like Joel and Pearl who have said or done things contradicting the general belief of Jimmy's incompetence and explicitly believing in him/wanting him to not die

[perplexingly]

Ahh I want to try the honor mode with all negative perks run when it releases on kcd2 but knowing my lack of sense of direction I'll just be running in circles 💦

[07043012]

Why does my babygirl have to talk like that in a fight ☠️☠️☠️

Omg if he's not gonna stop treating a fight like he's having $ex, I will draw him in the "dont bully me I will cvm" shirt

[hungrydogs-if]

an ancient draft right here.

collection of quotes i have randomly thought up for the characters, but probably won't make an appearance in the game, go.

--

"so we're, what, friend with benefits?"

"... mercs with perks."

"what?"

"nothing!"

--

"so you guys want any brosheda?"

"you disrespect bruschetta like that one more time and i will call the police on myself for beating your ass."

--

"why are you naked."

"why are you not naked?"

"this is a church."

"an abandoned church. the only god here is me."

--

"you're a bit of a dick, huh."

"oh this is nothing, you should see me deal with the dea."

--

"i did see someone online say san maro was known for it's snow, i can't wait for my first winter here."

"wrong brand of snow, my friend."

--

"dunno why i should answer to you, no sexual deviant is gonna tell me what to do."

"reckon that a bullet to the face works the same no matter which end of the dickin' i'm on, richie."

--

"i'd do anything for a pastrami sandwich right about now."

"i have jury duty tomorrow, you could -"

"i'd do some amount of things for a pastrami sandwich right about now."

i love it when people can't read (lite avowed spoilers)

avowed clearly tells you on the very first cc screen that you are a godlike BUT that you have no idea which god you belong to. trust me. that shit would've been obvious if it was one of the standard eoran pantheon. stop wondering if you're a berath or galawain godlike. You Are Not. You Are Some Shit This Bitch Of An Eora Has Never Seen. that's like the whole bit. that's one of the many plot hooks happening here. open your mind.

My hc is that while Senju clan head title passes from father to eldest son, Uchiha ascribe to philosophy of “leader must be our strongest shinobi” and madara was never actually clan Heir because that just doesn’t exist. He becomes clan head because he surpassed Tajima in strength even before his death but did not challange him for leadership so. He got it after his father’s death. That would also be the reason why he’s not forced to marry because yeah his genetics might’ve made his children OP as fuck there’s no guarantee for it and there’s not an immediate leadership crisis if he dies without an heir

[ruushes]

(sound of my resolve to stay offline while playing breaking immediately) ive seen a couple people saying they bounced off rogue for its difficulty which is too bad but does makes me feel a lot better bc i am extreme garbage at deflecting, however, it's pretty fundamental to the build i am voluntarily choosing for myself and could change at any time, so auri's going to die however many times it takes for them to learn to fucking block

[lockheed-martin-unofficial]

Well! My eyes are about to spontaneously combust!

I probably should’ve gone to sleep instead of finishing this but look how they turned out! Various character designs and ocs that I don’t often get a chance to draw.
