My third day of work was, in fact, so wild that I left with a migraine and threw up four times when I got home. My back hurt so much that I could barely bend over by the time I left. 💀 Someone's stalker came in so we had to call the police, someone stole something, a manager yelled at someone through the radio that we all have while I was working with a customer on that guy's last day, a lady kept asking me whether or not she should buy a brand new red jeep Cherokee then proceeded to advertise her old black Lexus to me (I was just her cashier, like, why), some guy told me about how he can't give anyone his email because he's part of the FBI senior program (?), I saw two dogs, I didn't get to take either of my 15 minute breaks so just my 30 minute lunch break, my trainer was talking so much in my ear that I straight up disassociated during the middle of a customer interaction, I helped a super angry customer fax something and he told me that his partner had died and how he needed to get stuff to the state or else, and many, many, MANY other things. This job is low-key awful for me, personally. TvT

OCs DESERVE BETTER -> Ariadne Paris / Penelope Jackson (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)
Disney: Abby James Witherspoon
Movies: Eline Powell
Books: India Eisley
"I'm not - that's impossible. I was found abandoned and given to Lord Oceanus as a baby to raise. I'm not this... Penelope Jackson you seem to think I am. Why should I trust anything you say? You can't even see that the gods don't give a damn about you!"
A little known fact to anyone that is not Sally, Percy and Poseidon - Sally was originally pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. But only the boy, Perseus - Percy - survived. Or so everyone always assumed. In reality, the Titans and their followers had discovered that not only had Poseidon broken the oath and set the Great Prophecy potentially in motion, but the woman was pregnant with twins: a flip of the coin, and either child could be the one of prophecy. So a plan is devised, one that is cleverly hidden from even the Gods - kidnap one of the babies and leave another in place, one that would be enough mix of sea and mortal to fool even Poseidon but the baby's soul was already in the Underworld. The baby that is kidnapped is born Penelope Jackson and is given to Lord Oceanus to raise as he would. And so Penelope Jackson is renamed Ariadne Paris - a reminder of the cruelty of both gods and humanity - and raised with one goal in mind: serve Kronos and destory the Gods and Olympus itself when the time comes.
When Zeus' bolt is stolen and word is recieved that Poseidon's demigod son is being sent on a quest to retrieve it, Ariadne is given the mission of infiltrating Camp Half-Blood as a spy for the Titans. But like calls to like, and Percy and Ariadne still find themselves drawn to one another, while the camp tries to figure out who's parent the mysterious new camper is and why their powers seem more aligned with the Sea God's more violent side.

The Sanderson/Cosmere subreddit spoiler policies are absolutely ridiculous and discussion stifling, a mini rant
Exhibit the first: on r/brandonsanderson a poster put up a picture of a Bridge 4 onesie, and it got spoiler tagged by a mod. The reasoning? The Bridge 4 logo with Kholin blue is a WoR spoiler. I'm of the opinion that that is one of those things that is a spoiler only if you already know, and is imo overly cautious
Exhibit the second: any kinds of spoilers are banned from post titles, resulting in a sub full of titles like this:
Idk about you guys, but as someone who has read all of these books, I would have no way of knowing what any these are about without looking at them individually. How is this good for facilitating discussion?
Exhibit the third, the actual spoiler policy:
Exhibit the fourth, just this attitude:
It's a shame it's so arduous to talk about the cosmere in r/cosmere
I am actually a big fan of spoiler tagging stuff, and I have in fact yelled at people in this fandom before for not spoiler tagging, but this is too much. This is clearly catering to new readers, and idk about you guys, but I think that there's a lot of responsibility re: avoiding spoilers, that has to be put on the person who doesn't want to be spoiled. There's some common courtesy stuff like tagging any pre-release content, or brand new books for a reasonable amount of time, but for the most part, avoiding spoilers should be on the person who doesn't want to see them. If I were currently reading or planning on reading a series I sure as f wouldn't be wandering into the subreddit dedicated to that series. I get tagging stuff for the secret projects right now, but everything? Some of these books are approaching 20 years since publication. If someone has waited this long to read the book, then they can wait a bit longer to participate in the fandom. 🤷♀️
There are always going to be new readers, but it should really be their responsibility to avoid spoilers if it matters to them. Or at least do the bare minimum. Honestly I think that the mods over there should just throw a general spoiler warning up top in a pinned post and let people live
