#had they been just a little more patient

[demigods-posts]

me personally. i wouldn't have gone after all the olympians at once. you're biting off more than you can chew here. all you would need to do is take each olympian out one by one. and then convince demigods that once enough people stop believing in a diety, that diety ceases to exist. which is not a lie. and you could use the death of pan to back yourself up. sure, you'd be in it for the long haul. but chess isn't meant to be a quick game.

Some personal headcanons on Izzy's literacy:

Izzy's able to read well enough to get by but he doesnt have an aptitude for it. he can read print letters ok, but stands no chance with cursive, even when people try to tone it down for him.

He especially struggles reading out loud, as he often needs a second to figure out words he doesnt know on sight.

He breezes through his regular log books, knowing the words by their shape alone, but when Stede gives him one of his books to read, he finds it gives him a headache, having so many words he is unfamiliar with.

Hes deeply embarrassed about how he struggles with reading, a fear instilled in him by whoever tried to teach him as a youth, inflicting harsh punishments for any minor mistakes he made

(they were only ever teaching him the basic bookkeeping, but still gave up and declared him "unteachable"- Izzy would later, with sheer stubbornness & spite, learn how to keep ships logs in a way that works for him, for Ed, but he never made it to finding joy in reading)

He tries to use his basic skills to cover up the fact he struggles with the majority of reading (and hides behind a display of distain to avoid situations where he might reveal himself)

He's seen performances of Shakespeare in ports before, and when he sees Stede has copies of the plays on his bookshelf, he decides to give reading another try- maybe its out of embarrassment, feeling inferior to Stede, maybe this new ship has inspired him to believe in himself & try again, whos to say?

I don't think this is Moe's first offense (saying something brazen/flippant) but I do think it's the first time it's called the King a bitch. And it won't be the last! The funniest part of Anna being the one to take charge and chew Moe out is that it gives Moe the opportunity to do The Exact Same Thing to Alfonse one-on-one (you know... to test the waters... to see how he feels about it....). Which it is. Also promptly chastised for.

FAVE PANELS...

Not to make “tag vent sunday” a thing but Idk how I can go from having a great string of days where I feel happy and confident to just. Randomly fucking dropping. And feeling like the actual worst.

yandere!bakugo, essentially, TO ME, is just: "If you're good to someone, there's no reason they wouldn't love you. So i'll be good to them, even if it's by force."

with the year coming to a close, i hope that anyone who's reflecting about how the year went remembers to be kind and fair to themselves with how you evaluate the year as a whole.

i think there are definitely times when life throws things that are... Not So Great at you. whether if it's some external circumstance that surprised you, or maybe your mentality wasn't at it's best. i wish for anyone who's encountered those kinds of challenges to be able to triumph over them and be able to say that they got through it.

heck, it might still be a work in progress even though you've kept chipping away at it, and that's ok! the results will show themselves eventually as you work through it! and i hope that we can all remember to be patient with ourselves as we go through these processes (learning, healing, etc.), because damn, it can be frustrating when you feel like you're "not there yet."

knowing that life can be rough at times, i think it's unfair to yourself (and others) to discount and downplay any progress you've made this year- whether if it's something that you did for the first time, or maybe you came to a new understanding and insight that you didn't have in the previous year.

it's not to say that you should undermine the validity of your experience with hardship, but to take the time to remind yourself what makes life worth living. to recall what moments were the most satisfying to you- and use it to strengthen your resolve for the next year and beyond. no amount of hardship will ever take away from the fact that you deserve to have hope that things will get better.

i hope that looking back on the year, you don't leave out the things you cherish. that you can remember the good that came this year. whether if the small victories are things like meeting someone new, trying something out for the first time, or making some strides in a long-term project/obligation...!

i wish everyone a happy new year! may it be prosperous, and that your life can move in a direction that's close to what you want out of life. you're all going to do great! remember to congratulate yourself for what you did well! despite everything, you're still here, and that's wonderful. never forget that!

interesting how the internet archive has the eagle of the ninth as a tv series from the seventies and as a radio program from 2010 and as the full text of the book in FRENCH... but not the original book :(

things ive noticed already and need to make a note of somewhere:

- none of the three new stargazers reveal their eyes when their 3d preview is zoomed in, unlike every other (bar jax and vex) BUT neither sona's or gwens are bound just covered by things. sona's are visible in her intro animation, gwens are just not easily seen under her hair and hat but the most visible in her splash meanwhile talons arent shown At All so i 👀 wanna know if thats significant or not... (unrelated but sona isnt wearing any shoes girl but those dogs away... i know you can float but you better not be landing in those dusty af archives...) - talon's abilities have no unique sounds yet + voice doesnt have a filter (im not too sure if sonas does either im not familiar w her base things in wr) plus doesnt have as flasy as a preview animation (but im guessing thats because of the prestige peeposad) - i drew the headpiece wrong oopsies i didnt know it was asymmetrical 😳 it does look a little silly tho ngl sdhfgkj - doll pointed out talon isnt as 'flat' compared to base and i think its just cause the jacket/vest is big and puffy - all the bright af blue has transparency in the splash so i. hope it gets fixed to look more like that? 😭 or at Least like sonas tassels which are blue but still sparkly and transparent... - i cant. really tell whats supposed to be happening in the recall animation... its a lot clearer for sona and gwen (gwens being the prettiest imo)

One of the things that hurts Khare the most isn't so much the eyes and teeth growing in her flesh but rather her memory issues, how easily she forgets things and struggles with the most basic tasks. Her IQ wasn't impressive before getting experimented on but she lived independently and picked up a range of skills from doing so along with working many odd jobs back in Hull. It's immensely frustrating - and upsetting - to her when it takes so long to learn what should be a simple thing.
