The number of times I reach for, "I'll make a complicated baking project!!!!" because I know it'll take time and concentration (i.e., I can't focus on anything beyond the mechanical for a bit) and comes with a positive output that people who aren't me appreciate (i.e., desserts) makes me think I need other coping mechanisms.....and also that I might somehow understand those people who work out a lot.

actually one of the details that frustrates me the most from TSATS, relating to how much the book completely erases or absolutely bastardizes neurodivergence, is how Percy's cameo is characterized.

One of the consistent things aspects of Percy's relationship with the education system throughout the series is that Percy is smart, and he does try in school, but he has a learning disability. The only reason he gets bad grades is because he has a learning disability and the way the modern american education system is built is inherently at odds with that. In the first series we actually have explicit references to Percy doing better in school when he's in environments that actually accommodate for his disabilities! It's not that he's not trying, he's disabled.

So it is so disheartening and horrible to see Percy characterized in TSATS as just being disinterested in school, and his failing grades being made a joke about implying him ditching classes because he just doesn't care. That's the number one ableist thing ADHD/dyslexic students hear! Implying that they "just don't care" and dismissing their disabilities. It is so horrible to see that joke being made in the Percy Jackson series of all franchises. Especially when you add that on to the rest of the quite frankly ableist characterizations in TSATS and how much the book erases Nico and Will's disabilities/neurodivergence.

wait actually. Ford routinely calls reader a succubus during sex. not because its the only explanation for the way he feels, he's gotten over that, but because it's the only way he can express *how* reader makes him feel. like they drive him insane with lust, it's almost unnatural. he's pushing 70, he should not be able to get it up like this anymore, you must have cast a spell on him

You know, I'm convinced you and I share a brain. Like, fully convinced.

I have a document of gender-neutral seductive cryptid-types, and a doc of Latin/Middle English/Archaic terminology etc, for Ford to use in this exact scenario LMAO. I think it suits him to use old language especially because he's a smarty pants.

Where I can't find a GN version of a monster, I vaguely describe the effect that alludes to someone as being of supernatural origin by identifying similar traits without actually calling them a specific creature and allowing them to imagine their own type instead.

Using old descriptors rather than modern English means that I don't have to use gendered language in a lot of instances because Latin either has neuters OR the alternate language option is so archaic that the root gender doesn't matter because the language is obsolete to 99.9% of people.

Plus, when I fuck around with old language it often reads in such a foreign way that it doesn't inspire the idea of a gender anyway, and it takes so long to work out the actual answer to its gender root if you look it up yourself (because of fucking declensions) that you'd get bored just trying to figure it out >:)

hello!! I just stumbled across your blog not too long ago, and let me just say, as someone who used to be so madly in love w tintin too 4-3 years ago, it makes my heart burst in joy because it makes me so happy seeing someone love the same person that I used to love as well. Tintin is SUCHH an underrated character and series as a whole, so seeing this just makes me so happy both for him and for you.

keep loving him! And cheers to your relationship ❤️❤️ You two look so wholesome together.

GOODNESS YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME BLUSH OVER HERE... THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🥹💖

he deserves ALL the love!!! he is literally the perfect man! bless his soul I adore him SO MUCH. ideal boyfriend material right there! he's polite, he's well-mannered, he's a gentleman, he's kind, he would TREAT ME RIGHT. in my language we have the saying "the dream of a mother-in-law" referring to a well-behaved chivalrous young man. that's tintin. (I actually believe a website once referred to him as exactly that lmao.)

ANYWAYS I'm getting off track I just love gushing about how wonderful he is. I am so glad you enjoy my ship with him!!! TYSM for the kind words, you've made my day! ❤️

begging & pleading for my mother to leave me alone for just one fucking day please.

[dandyshucks]

i've drafted and deleted so many posts that basically just boil down to "oh my god help me i love this worm" and "can someone please remove this worm from my brain, he is making me insane". please know that i am holding myself back from making one like at least once an hour 😭😭😭😭😭

[highwayphantoms]

ah I see it's one of those days where my brain is like, yeah, dummy, you're fucking disabled

I was sitting here like "I want to DO things" and I try, I keep signing myself up to do things and then it's too much and I get overwhelmed and bad things happen

and the fact of the matter is, I cannot do things at the same level as a neurotypical person. because I am not neurotypical. I can keep trying, but it's never going to happen, and I'm just going to keep hurting myself as a result

and it fucking sucks but like. can't get better if you don't know where your limits are

hey so my church is doing a youth group camping trip this weekend that's been in the plans literally since the beginning of the year, but now that we're in the final stretch, the weather is looking really really iffy. could y'all just pray if you don't mind that by some miracle the weather will be okay so this trip can go forward as planned?

[fluffypotatey]

so who has a handy-dandy time machine that their cranky, old geezer of a mad scientist friend has been hiding in a trashy car?
