Okay, but I do have an AU version of that AU in my head where Dick Grayson returns to earth and manages to find Annabeth (and Thalia and Luke) living in the streets before they make it all the way to Camp Halfblood.

We can explore the implications of that for Thalia and Luke in a different post, but basically Annabeth still has to go to CHB for large portions of the year, she attracts too many monsters, but when she isn't there, Dick Grayson has unofficial custody for quite awhile while Bruce gets his shit together.

The crack fic version of that AU of an AU has Annabeth trying to manipulate her way into arranging a meeting between Chiron and Roy Harper because her brother's friends have been kind to her and if one of them is going to be an archer, they should be the BEST archer so that they can keep Dick alive longer.

No one is more surprised than Chiron when he actually agreed to give Roy some "pointers", although he trained fully human heroes in the Ancient Days.

And to be fair to Roy his brain is stuck trying to work its way around fact that his friend's little sister staged an emergency to introduce him to a man who's half horse. He's kind of mad, which, fair. That said, once the actual archery lesson starts and he realizes that Chiron really is that much of an expert, he immediately gets into it.

Which is how a panicked Dick Grayson bursts into the scene a few hours later, expecting something terrible has happened to Anna & Roy because Roy isn't responding to comms.

Only to find his best friend arguing with a centaur about some obscure fact of aerodynamics while Annabeth is perched nearby watching, legs swinging, eating way too many popsicles and occasionally calling out questions when her curiosity gets the better of her.

Dick isn't sure whether to be pissed, relieved, or just plain confused, but he for sure isn't letting Anna OR Roy live that one down for years.

And if he also gets distracted and listens in to some of Chiron's archery explanations, well, it's always good to know your teammates' full potential.

#Dick @ Roy: like thanks for dropping everything to try and protect my family man really I mean it #but also what the actual fuck #you couldnt call me back???#trick question roy wasn't sure how the whole demigods and technology thing worked exactly so he just didnt bring any #as for Anna Dick probably gives her the scolding of a life time but he's also like #if this is what she's like when her age is still in the single digits what the fuck am I going to do when she's a teenager #Bruce better figure his shit out before then becuse I do not know what I'm going to do otherwise #I am not old enough to parent this kid #plus some part of him does find it sweet that she wanted to help Roy just because Roy was his friend #he just also wants to tear his hair out #annabeth wayne #although since this is the 'Dick gets custody and Thalia doesn't die (immediately?) AU #should it be Annabeth Grayson Wayne? Annabeth Wayne Grayson?#Idk havent gotten that far this is just the au for when I hurt my own feelings with the main AU #which now also involves crack fic versions I guess #dick grayson #roy harper #annabeth chase #pjo x dc #dc x pjo #annabeth wayne grayson

When the Robins were too young to convincingly pass as drivers, they'd always insist that Bruce drive them to school or anyplace they were running late to, because Bruce's extensive illegal racing experience meant they were guaranteed to make it there on time. Or even early sometimes.

Nothing has made me feel like I'm Ezio more than watching people go crazy over coins I threw in the air as part of our New Years party.

#i am absolutely confused by their reaction considering individual each coin ranges from 2~18 US cents or coin chocolate #my cousin says 'catching coins means you'll be lucky next year'#gurl i just saw someone fell while trying to catch coins #and another has their sandals' strap broken during me having flashbacks of throwing money at the citizens of firenze #i truly hope they get all the luck they wanted #i would have understood it if it was just the kids #but nooo #people old enough to be my parents were in it too XD #they all seemed happy about it so i guess all's well #i am sure i looked very awkward the entire time #personal #do i tag ezio??? naaahhh

for the first time in my life i was just asked if i have kids instead of if i'm in college yet. the years start coming and they don't stop coming huh

#stooooop #i know i have been old enough to have kids for a while but 😵‍💫#im always behind on all the milestones in life tho but it never stood out before bc people always thought i was 17 #literally from when i was 13 until very recently people always guessed i was like 16-19 #which was great bc i am an autistic late bloomer who lives w my parents and sucks at being an adult #so giving off the vibe and appearance of being a teenager was fine #but now i look like an adult #🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️#yet i am not good enough at being one for these questions and assumptions 😭#i hate it hereee #anyway weird old guy at the store started telling dumb blonde jokes then asked me if i had kids #never in my life have i been asked that #late twenties fr the worst age bc u still feel young but start getting treated old and also u don't have ur shit and life together yet #but everyone thinks you do or should by now #alas #irl i'm 27 what am i a child bride moment #not that having kids is for old people #but im not even good at being responsible for myself yet let alone an entire baby #i do want kids but im not ready for that yet #also never been in love 🫠#or even seriously dated anyone ever #not that it's a requirement #in fact im planning to adopt esp if i dont get married but still #anyway i do very much want kids im just not in that place yet #and didnt feel that behind in life about it bc nobody ever asked me that before #thsi better not be like how everyone asks you as soon as they meet u about ur job or school i dont need to be fielding this forever

Sometimes I see a mutual talk about their kid and I'm like wow that's so weird you're on tumblr as a grown adult old enough to have kids while I'm here as a 13 year old. And then I remember I'm 24

#personal #i am also a grown adult old enough to have kids #i dont #but i could have kids in elementary school rn #(i mean really i could have kids in middle school if not older but #not referring to very young parents)

I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.

#blue chatter #am I good at ASL? hahahahahahaha. no.#ASL and English grammar are incredibly different and even when I remember my vocab I am easily clockable as hearing #but I do have some language capacity now. enough to communicate the basics.#and I just. genuinely really enjoy it. it’s fun to learn and engaging in a way most of my classes just aren’t.#and I can. yanno. communicate respectfully w Deaf ppl. and learn about their culture #which is incredibly important given that I want to go into a field where there is a higher incidence than typical of Deaf people #autistic? you’re more likely to be Deaf!#not to mention the fact that sign language can sometimes be a useful alternative to speech for nonspeaking/nonverbal people #depending on the person obvi; some nonspeaking/nonverbal autistics cannot use sign language and that’s okay #but surely at some point I will encounter either a Deaf client or a nonspeaking/nonverbal client who uses ASL #and when that time comes I should have some idea of how to communicate with them #I also rly like the Deaf church by my parents’ house #their community is really welcoming and their services are really interesting #I think it’s rly cool how they take intentions directly from the congregation #they’ll raise their hands and then sign what their intention is from their pew to the ambo #which is rly neat #it is funny bc every time I go the Deaf ppl I talk to will tell each other ‘go slow she’s hearing’#which is ENTIRELY fair bc. I am hearing. and I do need them to go slower.#but it also makes me laugh bc truly everyone knows within a few minutes.#oh hey the new person? they’re hearing. yeah they’re learning ASL at college. sign slowly for her.#which again makes sense bc a big Deaf culture thing is keeping ppl informed. it’s not gossip it’s getting everyone on the same page.#Deaf ppl do NOT beat around the bush that is like the height of rudeness to them. u say what u mean goshdangit. do not waste their time.#which I appreciate the heck out of bc i don’t have to try and phrase things delicately or w/e #it was also funny bc my mom came w me while I was home for Christmas and they asked her if I was her kid #and she said yes. and the lady running the kid’s craft corner thing was like ‘great you’re doing a craft now’#and I’m sitting there. visibly over 18 years old. amongst several seven year olds. trying desperately to figure out how to say hot glue gun #I made a v pretty pinecone tree it was a lot of fun ^-^

got a trip to the Radio Tave Meow Wolf for my birthday !!!

here's the knick knacks that i got :]

#the meow wolf patch that's peeling is from a visit to the Real Unreal for my brother's birthday in May #it was awesome #i think i might have liked the Real Unreal more than this but that might be because there were less people there #lotta little kids were at this one which. you do you but i don't think Meow Wolf is the best place to take your rowdy 7 year old #nothing against the kids just the parents [smiles with teeth which i am gritting]#(i got overstimulated way too quickly because of the amount of people and small children running about)#BUT it was super cool!!!! Cowboix Hevven was super fun to see when it wasnt crowded #i think my favorite part was the area outside the lobby which has all the weird instruments #if anyone reading these tags is able to get a trip to the Radio Tave definitely check it out!!! it was so cool!#okay that's enough rambling #meow wolf #the radio tave #cowboix hevven #art museum

just realised that the first media we consumed that made us REALLY sympathetic for the monster was that fucking point and click Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst game. bc that entire game i was legitimately fucking TERRIFIED of the ghost lady in that game but the second i found out her husband was abusive i doubled down on trying to help her escape. and the ending of that game Did make me cry out of fear but hey at least i did in fact help her escape

#i think that was the first game we ever like. completed. as well #NO it was hidden expedition amazon bc that one was less scary so it was easier to beat LMAO #we had both of those games on a single disc as a kid #one o those like. buy 2 for cheap game discs at like. best buy. i love those cheap bargain bin point and click games #hidden object games were my entire thing from the age of like. 8 to 12 #we also had like. three ispy game discs one of which had FOUR separate worlds to go to #which upon my recent googling was like. multiple ispy games packaged into one which i cannot find any record of??#i know for a fact it had a space section the fantasy one and the school days one #and then we had treasure hunt and spooky mansion as separate discs #I FUCKING MISS SPOOKY MANSION i have a download of it but i CAN'T PLAY IT bc it was made for computers older than windows 7 #it fucks up the aspect ratio of the screen and the mouse like. shows the cursor being about an inch to the left of where it Actually Is #its weird #anyway complete non sequitur here but I GOT THE STUPID ASS MULTIPLAYER ITEMS IN TERRARIA #i forgot i could just. make a multiplayer world. and not invite anyone to it. and get the items that way #so this can still be a purely singleplayer challenge i just have to click on a different menu to get these items #NOW I JUST HAVE TO FUCKING PAINTING HUNT. HOORAY 😳#they need to make a version of that emoji without the blush. i am not flushed i am fucking STARING AT U LIKE A MADMAN #the fucking. uluru painting. i chewed through 7 ENTIRE LARGE DESERTS FOR THAT FUCKING THING #7 LARGE WORLDS. DCU. DESTROYED ALL TRACE OF SAND. ONLY GOT ULURU IN AN OLD ABANDONED WORLD INSTEAD 😔#and now. now i have to search for fucking WALDO?????? WALDO????? this actually looped back around to the initial topic of the post huh #any hidden object BOOKS i would fucking eat up as well the Can You See What I See books??? i liked those better than ispy actually #walter wick is the one man responsible for my LIFELONGGGGGGG obsession with hidden object games #i LEARNED TO READ with ispy books initially and i fucking LOVED it it was so fun making learning a game #i learned to read like. wayyyyy faster than other kids apparently?#i dont remember what age but i was definitely early bc i knew enough that when i entered preschool i was like. past their starting level #i dont remember the details i just know like. i learned to read really early. and i was a late talker #but neither of my parents think i was. bc both of them were delayed in speaking too so they think its normal--#but like. my mom was Deaf she absolutely was a late talker #and my dad. well. lets just say my mother has less of the tism tendencies to gift to me #and also both were part of very very large chaotic families so like. mild neglect was part of the package yknow

I wonder how much money Toy Story 5 will make

#will it bring in a barbillion dollars by nature of being a Pixar sequel #or will it flop #or ‘flop’ by bringing in less than Toy Story 4 #I mean I saw 3 and 4 but don’t plan on seeing 5 in theatres so #I’m just so fascinated #I mean the last Toy Story movie was an epic flop shdbdbdbdbd #the gay space ranger couldn’t save lighryear even tho she was so cool I wish she’d been in the movie more :(#the general public opinion from people my age is less than enthusiastic for Toy Story five but ik parents will bring their kids #or will they? will parenrs who grew up with the OG movies (or three!!!!!!! I won’t have kids in 2026 but I’m old enough to have kids)#maybe they won’t #esp if Shrek 5 comes out the same summer HDHDHDHDHD #I WILL BE SEATED FOR SHREK 5 #anyway #I’m done #ts5 you make me exhausted and you don’t come out for two more years I am not looking forward to those trailers lmao #ok now I’m done fr #(let the record show however if you’re excited for TS5 I love that for you!!! do not let me rain on your parade)#toy story 5 #toy story #Pixar #cadence rambles

#i was looking through old photos today. they where from wjen i was like 1 and it made me so sad #bc my mum would have been like only a year or 2 older then i am now and she looked so young #and now she has an abdomen full of tumors and blistered hands and feet. theyre prob gonna hsve to remove her bladder #but shes still very pragmatic abt it. but she grew up in a house where no one really cared about her feelings so she made them small #and now her mother calls and doesn't ask how her grandkids are doing and doesn't ask how her daughter is doing. im cursed with terrible #grandparents on both sides but i resent my mothers mother worse. though my dad said i probably wouldnt have survived his upbringing #and hes right. my nana has like zero empathy and cant cook for shit. idk how my parents r so normal but the fact i had a good upbringing is #probably the only reason im still here. and thats the other thing that made me sad abt the old pics. just looking at this little baby with a #fucked up head and thinking: in 25 years that kid is gonna b so broken down their not gonns kno what to do or how to fix it. idk whats wrong #with me. ive always been some stage of miserable but i used to b able to get things done. and now i cant seem to force functionality #and it sucks. bc im home now and i still feel like im cringing around this open wound in my chest. but whatever #as of today ive started taking ab1lify. hopefully it helps in the long term but in the short term it triggers my 0cd. which is not fun #its so frustrating. whatever. i also found out my eyes used to not work together. not enough to have a lazy eye but it was hard for me to #read and apparently my eyes were tracking at like double the speed of a normal person. wtf is wrong with my brain? also also my mum was like #yea i never would have guessed bip0lar but we thought it was something. autism i could see 100% but yea didnt see that coming. ao i guess #i brehave like a bit of an oddball. ans my nana would bother my dad to try to make me participate in church and my dad was like no. she #clearly don't wanna b here lol. ay. they did the best they could which i appreciate #unrelated

god the duality between 'I don't want someone in my house' and 'yeah I'd like my own kids and no way I'm doing that alone'

#like ppl who don't want kids should be free to live their lives without ppl being like 'watch out! your biological clock is ticking!'#that's bullshit ppl shouldn't say that. but also. i would like kids and #after so many years trying not to get pregnant and that seeming like a worst case scenario. so desperately wanting to not become my parents #now i am an age where I'd happily have a kid if i were in the right life situation & i don't feel I've got all the time in the world anymore #lol like. the space in between 'too young to have a baby' and 'old enough that i risk more health issues/ will be an older parent'#feels way way narrower than i ever would have assumed lol. esp. because all the parents in my family are so young. the idea of being an #older parent is so strange to me. I'm so aware of the things you can't do when you're older and how it's harder work to run after them #and like my body is already wearing out way faster than anyone elses. my health's only gonna get worse so.#being an older parent just doesn't seem an option. not to mention like. the older i am the less generations I'll get to see.#i want to be a great grandmother damnit. lol.#like I'm on a clock. to get over my commitment issues or it legit won't happen. but yeah. can't think of anything worse than having #to have someone in my house. if i was rich enough to have lots of space that's one thing but. I'm not lol.#and rich ppl rub me up the wrong way whenever they try and chat me up so doubt I'm gonna marry in to money looool #like i have come to terms with the fact that. if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. id rather not get to be a mother than to settle #like that whole 'looking for a partner' dating life is not for me i can't think of anything worse. if it happens it happens #I'll either meet the right person who im willing to give up an empty house for or i won't looool #and it's not like im giving up the whole raising kids thing completely.#like I've got to play a significant hand in raising my siblings even if i didn't ask for that. I've got to see them grow and #help them reach those milestones. and whatever the circumstances I'm blessed to have had them in my life #even if i don't have my own kids I'm always gonna have kids in my life even if I'm an aunt rather than grandmother you know #I'm lucky to be in a family where raising kids is a communal thing. but yeah id love to have my own kids & have someone that looks like me #but I'm not willing to bring someone in to the world in non opportune circumstances deliberately.#like if it's up to me i want them to have 2 parents to look out for them and 2 parents that at least stand a chance of liking each other lol

Some child on TikTok just tried to tell me that "transgenic" is a gender identity. Responding to my comment on a video about genetically modified animals. I need to stay on the Tumbly because this is where the adult, intelligent freaks are

#tiktok is an evil app and i am just a young man afflicted with adhd #parents: maybe if your kid can't comprehend the concept of new words they arent old enough to be on social media #i dont want to talk to random children !! i just wanted to talk about biology!!#tiktok #shitpost #something something transgender misunderstanding

Good grief if you're younger than Minecraft you shouldn't even have any social media yet. Y'all should be out there and develop social skills and learn how to interact with people irl and stuff. Internet manners ≠ irl manners

imagining a ten year old seeing this tweet and going “damn… i can’t retweet it” before walking away sadly and kicking a can

#i've been having a work-based-training on a school for the last four weeks and followed a bunch of ten year olds #and they're good kids even if some of them have some issues but that's beside the point #my point is that there's almost a disconnect between the kids and reality #they don't get that the internet and irl don't function the same way #and that just saying 'it was a misunderstanding' won't change tone or body language or context #like it was only 20 years ago i was 10 and many of their parents are my age #internet wasn't the same thing back then #few had cell phones and the fanciest ones had colour screen #no camera or tiktok or youtube or any games with a possible exception of snake #there are a lot of things that are better today than then #but how so many parents give kids free reign over tech isn't healthy #i don't think you should read their personal email etc (unless you have a *genuin* cause to believe there's grooming or something going on)#but imo you should restrict them from tiktok and other algorithm based media until they're mature enough to understand how those sites work #and teach them how to safely navigate them and so on #i was never good at social skills and still don't think i am but as i said there's almost a disconnect sometimes #pls don't use the internet as a baby sitter if you have kids #also the use of computers all the time is actually fucking up their ability to write and spell and work on eye-hand-cordination #my writing wasn't the best when i was ten nor were my classmates #but at least we turned our letters the correct way and knew to draw the letters from the top #so that ''h'' wouldn't end up looking like an ''n'' for example #and i'm not including the dyslectic kids in this #this is true for most of the students there's only a handful who don't flip their letters and so on
