It’s interesting that the fandom tends to look for signs in everything (me included! lol), and yet I saw many within it at that time appear to not discuss these possible signs and chill out, instead choosing to lose their sh!t over papgate and vilify L. I was new to the ship then so I didn’t understand the context for the other possible Fallon references beyond the obviously unhinged slip of “I could be the Ken for her” with his hands to his heart. And yet I still thought papgate was likely more complicated than some were making it out to be. Maybe I was just in the wrong spaces then, but it seemed like he became the target for all this men-are-trash rage, and in that vitriol, folks may have missed an actual reassuring message from Mom and Dad. The irony.
I agree!
This is going to be kind of a serious post, but I'm going to share a personal story related to this. When Papgate happened, I had a LOT of anger at L. However, after a few days, I eventually realized that a lot of that anger had absolutely nothing to do with L, and much more to do with my own unresolved traumas around men. I think a lot of the fandom identify a lot more with N, so when Papgate happened, a lot of people felt like L had "chose" A over N, and this triggered a lot of people who may have had someone do that to them in their own lives. Then they just projected that anger out on L, and made him the villain. And by doing this, I think some people were missing what L/N were actually saying about each other after Papgate. I also think that all this hate has resulted in L/N drawing back from SM for their own mental health (which is unfortunate since they have always seemed to enjoy communicating through SM).
Here's the thing, NOBODY is perfect, and I do think some things weren't handled super well in this whole situation (from ALL parties involved). However, I don't think that makes ANYONE a villian in this situation. I think the situation is complicated rn between all parties, but regardless of who L & N end up with, NOBODY involved in this situation deserves any type of hate. It's been hard to see some people in this fandom jump to such serious conclusions and speculation based off the limited information we have, and then present this speculation as fact. I still think there is a lot of potential that L/N might end up together at some point, but if they never do, that's TOTALLY fine! We have to just wait and see what happens, and respect their choices.
#give people grace#humans are complicated and they are never perfect#we don't know any of these people irl#we only know a FRACTION of what is going in their lives#take a breath#don't spread hate

You know I feel like lots of people in the fandom put Nick on the pedestal, forgetting they are first of all humans. I love her, and she's indeed a goddess, but some blogs don't look at her from the perspective of being human now. Unhealthy dynamics and also put a lot of pressure on her.At the same time they drag Luke and are biased towards him. Although, I do question his choices a lot right now, but why does everyone suddenly forget that being human is learning and making mistakes? He's a good guy and a good actor. They're both wonderful people. I am not saying that fans aren't allowed to be angry, but some are just over the top. They somehow don't have problems with Nic being blatantly flirty with him, considering facts he had a serious girlfriend. Isn't that fair ?Jade didn't get the same treatment, you know. And they're apologetic of her, but the thing is Luke and Nic are both messy. Luke more though. Sometimes I just want to say to all of that fan Nics blogs — chill, y'all. Stop weaponizing them against each other and grab the concept of ambiguity. There's no black and white here, people make questionable choices and Nicola is not an angel either( I do love her though very much). Be human
Thank you for sharing.
I think it's extremely important to remember that we are all flawed.
No one is perfect nor will they react perfect to things.

You know, I was just gonna reblog this as is, but then I went through the reblogs on a whim and I think this addition is just as important as the original post
Before we continue, is this a personal moral failing or a mental illness? I need to know whether I should treat you like an evil monster or a helpless child when I unperson you.

Percy at ease
Percy calm, but a little on edge
Percy when mildly angry
Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.
No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.
But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.
like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord
One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.
Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.
And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.
#don’t fuck with perseus jackson#dude is not playing around#well#he is playing around 90% of the time#but don’t mess with him when he’s not#i love him#he’s terrifying#in reality i’d probably be scared of him in real life lol#percy my love#and don’t go yelling at me that people are most scared of nico because hazel specifically stated in SoN that at first sight#nico is not a scary person#but frank does say nico gives him the creeps#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#percabeth#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo#annabeth chase#nico di angelo#jason grace#reyna ramirez arellano#mark of athena#son of neptune

One thing people need to understand about Jason and Leo’s dynamic is that they’d canonically die for each other but if Jason was looking for his glasses while they’re sitting on top of his head Leo not only wouldn’t help but would actively go “idk I think you still had them at dinner”
#Leo loves teasing people. Jason is briefly annoyed when he realizes but Leo gives him the saddest look and he’s immediately forgiven#Jason cannot stay mad at Leo ever#leo valdez#jason grace#hoo#valgrace#heroes of olympus#leo x jason#jason x leo

Instead of the “Jason vs Percy” rivalry we should have gotten Annabeth vs. Jason but instead of a fight for power it’s them having a battle of autism cause their special interests were Greek myths vs Roman myths.
Jason calls a Greek god by their Roman name and Annabeth pops up out of nowhere and goes “erm, actually”
The 7 is talking about some landmark and Annabeth and Jason start arguing about which pantheon it was dedicated to.
“It’s amazing right? It was dedicated to Athena.” “Erm, it was actually built for Mars…”
#this plus them later becoming friends#sometimes I think Rick was scared to give any of the couple chemistry because he didn’t want like#competition or overshadowing for the couples?#cause Annabeth and Jason as frenemies or academic rivals would have been great#and Percy and Piper should’ve been like great friends#they literally have the same sense of humor like what#people say Percy and Leo and I know that whole thing is kinda one-sided#but Percy probably would’ve found him annoying anyway#I said what I said#but in a loving way#like he calls Leo annoying the same way he though Nico was an annoying 10yo#I could talk abt the 7’s relationship but we’d be here all day#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo series#pjo tv show#pjo hoo toa#heroes of olympus#pjo#percy jackson#annabeth chase#jason grace

percy: i don't think nico's ever gone to sleep before 5am, and its really just concerning at this point
percy: let's not even talk about jason. he wakes up at 4:45am on the dot, every morning, without an alarm clock. that's terrifying.
#the golden 15 mins during which jason & nico interact#jason grace#percy jackson#nico di angelo#and if waking up at 4.45am seems unrealistic to u#i know SEVERAL people who wake up from times between 4.00—5.15 in the morning#pjo#hoo#toa#pjo incorrect quotes#jercy#jasico#? maybe. js because it feels right#edit: this is killing my notifs PLEASE STOP GIVING THIS NOTES

Grace Chasity character of all time. She's a religious zealot for both God and what is essentially the Devil. She steals a gun off of a cop and then makes her getaway on her pink bicycle (with a basket!). She brought supplies to hide a body to a simple prank. She commits quite possibly the worst Freudian slips of all time. She drinks hot water. She equates someone carrying her books for her to premarital sex. Someone dies in a freak accident and her immediate course of action is to hack up the body and bury it under the floorboards. She's canonically homophobic.
#the thing she values most in the entire world is her chastity#which has a lot of really fucked up implications!#and then gives up her chastity to a ghost on the 50 yard line on a football field#(which has even /more/ really fucked up implications!!!!)#all to save the lives of two people who very openly dislike her#polyamory could have saved her#horror tag#og fandom post tag#starkid#nerdy prudes must die#hatchetfield#grace chasity#grace chastity

maybe it’s just me, but expecting taylor to have come out with a statement already is a bit insensitive. this entire situation — knowing her concerts were the target of a thwarted terrorist attack, knowing thousands of people came close to being physically harmed or losing their lives — is terrifying, and would be difficult for anyone to grapple with. for all we know, intelligence agencies may have advised her to not say anything right now in order to keep herself, her team, and all of us safe. first and foremost, please keep in mind that she’s taylor, an actual human being before she’s taylor swift, the brand. give her some much-needed space to process this and sort through her emotions. if you think she doesn’t care, you don’t know her well at all.
#taylor swift#the eras tour#i do understand why people want her to make a statement#but there’s so much to factor in given the gravity of this entire situation#and she’s likely taking cues from national security interests#give her some grace#*

GP telling Max that he's generally far too good to people on track. Not for the first time, I think that Max is far too good to people in general.
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#thinking about that quote about how max doesn't really hold grudges but gp does especially regarding mercs behaviour at silverstone in 2021#max gives a lot of people a lot of grace#me? I'm with gp

It's been bugging me for a while that we have so many canonically queer characters now but none of them ever DO anything! It's like after they get two characters in a queer relationship they just never give them any conflict after. We didn't ask for more representation because we wanted that character to no longer have interesting stories outside of a queer identity we wanted you to stop queer baiting us.
I know that word gets tossed around a lot, but there is very strong evidence for TimKon, StephCass, and GhostBat where they practically confirm it but they never say anything explicitly. Supersons were literally shown to live together, co-parent Lizzie, and were explicitly paralleling other canon couples last week.
But it's too much for Kon AND Tim to be queer, so they gave Tim a civilian boyfriend that he never has any conflict with and all of the build up and tension that comes with trying to clone your dead teammate 99 times and being a hair away from making out for like 8 years.
Robin AND Super boy couldn't be canonically queer so they aged Jon up and then gave him a civilian boyfriend he never has any conflict with all while parading them around in elseworlds because they knew fans were upset about the lost potential.
Even Harley and Ivy fall victim to this in a different way. I love that they're canonically queer! I just wish that at least Ivy got to keep some of her villainy. I don't think they should have to compromise being menaces to society with being queer.
And it's related but I hesitate to call it queer baiting... what's going on with Dick Grayson. He gets confirmed bi in a non canon video game but he has more pride covers than Tim. Like you can't dangle an extremely queer coded character in front of us and then just never make it canon. And I'm tired of one off implications too. We deserve better representation than a one liner played off for a joke (Batstantine this is about you I fear) but they won't because they know full well they won't do a damn thing with him after.
You wanna know what we should be striving for? Midnighter and Apollo. Messy their whole run time, uncompromisingly interesting whether they're together or not, happily married with a daughter, and yet continued to be unerringly bad ass. John Constantine, with all of his shameless flirting and raunchiness. Grace Choi and Anissa Pierce. The pining, the break ups, the make ups. Obsessed with them.
Joey Wilson!!! You want someone whose already canonically queer who Dick has a lot of tension with? He's right there! The son of Dick's arch Nemesis. Both of their willingness to go over people's heads to protect them. Joey's ability to completely take someone's free will (and his deliberate and spiteful choice not to) vs. Dick's constant fight for independence (and his willing surrender to the pull of his family). Dick's unwillingness to communicate his feelings or experiences with literally anyone ever paired with Joey's uncanny ability to read him like a book. Are you joking. The mess, the tension, the INTRIGUE!!
This got away from me but I want my queer characters to be interesting again pretty please.
#dc#blorbo posting#timkon#Supersons#Stephcass#ghostbat#Harlivy#Dick Grayson#Midnighter#Apollo dc#midpollo#grace choi#anissa pierce#joey wilson#dickjoey#like I get it they're trying to make these as marketable to as many people as possible#but also I'm soooo tired of hearing about the newest canon queer character that's going to fade into obscurity within the year#because dc just doesn't use them or give them interesting relationships

Reprogrammed my own brain by realizing that people don’t just get your devotion outright, but have to work for it. You do not go from 100 to 0 as people fault u. You go from 0 to 100 as they prove bit by bit that they are worthy of ur trust and patience. I used to be infinitely patient & understanding bc I thought that was my “gambit”—an initial investment I was hoping would beget more investment from the other party. I don’t do that shit anymore bc it has never served me once. I will show kindness and compassion to someone, but unless they prove they’re willing to put in the work to make a relationship work (platonic or romantic alike), I’m not going out of my way to emulate patience bc I’m hoping that somehow that will change them. Never ever ever. Humans almost always never work like that. They either give a fuck when they see you’re on the outs w them and change, or they don’t and you’re better off. It’s not “you’re worthy of my time until proven otherwise.” It’s “you’re not worthy of extra effort by me until proven otherwise.” And that may sound harsh but it’s healthier than the opposite approach
#Had this revelation after a conversation w a friend this morning and I had to write it down#Some people might think that’s too uptight and like thats fine but it just won’t be my style anymore to be so patient#W people I don’t even see the bare minimum from#Never again <3#I won’t ever be a cutthroat person who gives no second chances or ruthlessly cuts people off or gives no grace#But I also won’t go out of my way to prove to people that I’m understanding kind etc

I think when getting along with other people, its perfectly natural (and entirely inevitable) that you're going to bump elbows with others and treating confrontation/discomfort with a kneejerk "well we have to beef now and turn this small miscommunication/moment of friction into a Whole Thing" reaction, instead of doing your best to give your fellow people the benefit of the doubt, even if you got off on the wrong foot is really key. and in fact an essential skill for any grown adult. especially when operating within and without other communities or cultures
#not trying to be a hot take or anything just a thought#i hope this isnt just coming off as 'why cant we alll just get allonnng' i dont mean it that way per se#I just think especially on the internet people resort way too quickly to#'well you clearly suck entirely and im no longer interested in your perspective'#(disclaimer im not talking abt giving any grace to hate groups thats not what this is abt)#i mean just innocent moments of miscommunication/social clumsiness/cultural clash

anyway. this is your notice that I will be liberally blocking blogs pushing antivoting/both parties are the same/etc bullshit. I am fully Not Here For It, as someone living in a deeply red state. I have had actual human people, to my face, at my fucking retail job, advocate for civil war and treason and military overthrow of the federal government. I cannot EXPRESS to you how little fucking patience I have for leftist infighting at this point!!!
#us politics#i am so done#genuinely just blocked a bitch i fully believe was a psyop#i'm not extending grace about this shit anymore#hold your fucking nose and vote blue no matter who#or admit you're a child so insulated from the consequences of another trump presidency that you can use politics as a purity clout game#and that you don’t give a shit about the people that attitude will literally get killed

Dam being a Jason Grace stan in the fandom is a fucking tragedy lol. Not only do we have to deal with him being screwed over by uncle Rick, but we have to deal with the fandom hating him aswell lol, i feel like Jason Grace slander wouldnt affect me half as much if his character had gotten a happy ending. I just saw an Instagram reel about a "character's povs you skipped through'' and the comments were flooded with Jason Grace just like I'd expected lol 😭 like blud has no mercy there.
It took all my will power to not defend him under a comment that called him "homophobic", I cannot believe that comment had 4 people agreeing aswell like- did we read the same books? Did they completey skip over the coming out chapter in HOH where jason was literally the first person to tell Nico not to be ashamed of liking guys and that no one would judge him? the guy is legit one of the least problematic characters and does nothing mean, how is he even CONSIDERED in the homophobic area anyway? (he also gets slandered for being "too nice" aswell lol) so seeing him wind up in such a contradictory accusation just screams tone deaf and anti-jason bias tbh, Nico legit said he considered jason as one of his first friend/supporter (apart from his sisters) in TSATS :') its like ppl keep throwing in these false stuff bc they WANT to find a reason to hate him. (dont take this as me saying you are not allowed to hate him or something cuz that would be quite hypocritical of me, wouldnt it? i just hate that ppl make up problematic hcs of him and push them as canon, it would taint non-reader's perception of him because of false info, what if a non reader stumbled across that comment and immediately figured that jason was indeed homophobic even when he wasn't?)
Also, can we please normalize NOT judging a person for their character preferences? I like jason and i am aware that its an unpopular take, but that doesnt make me any less of a pjo fan. The fandom seems pretty aggressive when we dont follow the popular opinion. i have seen multiple ppl pretend to hate jason simply bc they WANT to fit in and "look cool", since the fandom has a tendency to use Jason as a punching bag to insult like "he's a knockoff percy" or "he thinks he's so cool but he's not". or smth, so when people do claim jason as a favourite, a huge chunk of the fandom start belittling them and go like "really? Out of all characters, why jason?" Or "Percy/Leo is better, I don't understand why you like Jason"
okay thanks for coming to my ted talk. i am aware that i was yapping here. unfair Jason Grace slander does that to me.
#Why do I always end up liking the unpopular ones#A huge chunk of the fandom doesn't respect other people's opinions either. don't get me wrong I love it here. but why.#The amount of side eyes I got when I said I liked jason smh he's fictional y'all#Like I didn't commit a crime by having him as my top 5 sheesh#Normalise not giving ppl the side eye when they say they like jason grace#jason grace#pjo#pjo series#pjo fandom#pjo toa#pjo hoo#pjo hoo toa#percy jackson#annabeth chase#hazel levesque#frank zhang#piper mclean#leo valdez
