I’m thinking about my Big Three kid swap au (Nico is the prophecy child, Percy is a willow tree, and Thalia is caught in the Lotus Casino) again and specifically Percy is so funny to me. Turns into a tree when he has a found family daughter and almost-boyfriend and wakes up as a a single mother divorcee.

Percy is consistently bringing unhinged domestic spat energy to every confrontation. It’s a full on soap opera. The gods love it. Luke’s troops keep losing respect for him.

Percy kept aging while he was a tree (since we can’t have him join the Hunt) and everyone agrees he’s not the Prophecy Child because he’s fully twenty-something already. So he has no other obligations except conspiring with Annabeth to drag Luke kicking and screaming back home.

Percy keeps referring obliquely to “the divorce” which is very funny but confuses everyone around him. Multiple times he distracts monsters or Titan army demigods by complaining about his “failing marriage” and how “taking care of a kid alone is so hard, you know? I’m not even getting child support!”. Everyone comes out of the conversation sympathetic to the poor guy. Every once in a while Percy adds new lore to see the way Luke’s eye twitches. Luke is not coping well with the judgmental looks, side-eyes, and earnest advice about how to save a marriage. Annabeth keeps getting kidnapped by Luke’s cronies because they very earnestly believe she should get to spend some more time with her other dad.

Every Saturday there’s a truce where all three of them tensely eat cookies in Sally Jackson’s living room. No one has the guts to tell her they’re on opposite sides of a war. Luke tries to turn the tables one (1) time and ask her how she would feel about Percy getting married. Sally’s answer is so heartfelt and genuinely happy that Luke cries alone in his golden sarcophagus later and he never brings it up again. Percy’s smug look goes entirely unnoticed except by Annabeth.

I love that poll going around because I've seen three of my trusted friends and mutuals include Fau.st in some way. We don't appreciate racist behavior here, no matter how "pretty" she is.

honestly if you live in a blue state and can afford a decent home and all your meds/food/utilities i want to hear NOTHING in regards to us in red states

i live in greg abbott's red texas. you know, the largest state that borders the most vilified neighboring country and receives the majority of latino immigrants + has a huge black population + a lot of arab and asian immigrants

i will not tolerate blame put on the people in red states who are constantly harassed and belittled because of their race, origin, religion, gender, and economic status

you want someone to blame? blame your party who did nothing to get people out of poverty, did nothing in response to police violence and killings, did nothing for palestine/lebanon, did nothing in response to abbott and desantis' vitriolic anti-latino racism and policies

democrats did what they do best, follow the right-leaning trend and lose to republicans

One time I made golden syrup to use for something I was baking. I used up a bit, but I accidentally made way too much, so I sealed it up nice and tight and put it away in a dark, empty cupboard where nothing could destroy it.

Flash forward a month later, I get the jar out to use for something else and there's an ocean of ants drowning in it. Turns out there was a tiny crack in the jar and all the ants sniffed out the sweet sugary syrup and came out from god-knows-where and let all nine circles of hell loose on their bounty, only to be mummified alive in amber treacle-y hell.

Some part of me finds it pretty tragic that ants, small enough to dodge radiation, resilient, loyal, strong, these wonderful, overall near-invincible creatures-

Yeah, some part of me finds it pretty tragic that they managed to squeeze into the tiniest crack in the impenetrable wall guarding their treasure and rushed in to claim their bounty, only to be defeated by a trap spun from liquified sugar and human ambition.

I don't know if I identity more with the jar or the ants (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

i need this guy who is viewed by literally everyone who has ever met him including myself as one of the kindest most genuine people ever to stop being fucking scared of me and ANSWER MY TEXTS!!!

[cryingyetcourageous]

my shy, anonymous hot take of the evening (which u don't necessarily Need to publish, i dont want to kick off a Discussion i just want you specifically to know) is that rpers who are close to canon are actually so refreshing and i prefer it tbh. bless u and all u do

[[Okay no - this means a LOT and gives me chance to rant <3 To this day, and probably for the rest of my life, I still remember that the VERY first anon I got on my previous Raivis blog in 2011/2012ish was someone insisting that I play him wrong because "Latvia shouldn't be a coward. It's insulting." I didn't have the words to argue back when I was 15/16. I gave some half-assed response, but it didn't get the crux of the issue. Fandom often boils characters down into two types: stoic, deadpanned ones who are unwavering in the face of danger, who carefully control each reaction to only show what they wish to be shown. . . and shitlords who are chaotic and quirky, and who will quip out one-liners in the face of danger, but never show deeper emotional experiences beyond what is needed for plot or memes. Being scared is inherently viewed as weak. Raivis is not weak. Raivis is terrified, overwhelmed, anxious, ruminating, and easily spooked, but he is not weak. There is strength in kindness. To see some of the worst the world has to offer, to be broken down over and over through multiple empires hellbent on exploiting land and people they refuse to respect, to be trapped in a physical form much smaller and more feeble than those around him, to have all that and still choose kindness: That is strength. To look at the pain one has gone through and stubbornly refuse to let it harden one's heart, to reach out to those even more vulnerable than one's own self, to hold true to one's morals even when no one would blame him for faltering or being selfish: That is strength. Looking at an uncaring world and daring to care anyways: That is strength.

This isn't even going into his being a literal genius, "an astounding guy," capable of "doing incredible things." Canon quotes. However, these details are tossed aside because he's also a crybaby, unassertive, and reactive. Time and time again, anxiety is only treated as an interesting character trait if it's the quiet, creeping dread that isn't too obtrusive to other characters or the readers. The moment it becomes a problem for those around them, it's an annoying character, never mind that high reactivity is common in PTSD-related anxiety, never mind that mental health struggles are, in fact, often fucking intrusive.

Struggling is not weak. Crying and fearing and worrying are not weak. Vulnerability is not weak. Emotions are not weak. Canon Raivis is not weak and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. THANKS FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK.

I don't understand why so many religious weirdos claim dinosaurs never existed and the bones/fossils dug out of the ground were buried under rock by scientists and then dug back out. it makes no sense at all. does their religion book tell them they were fake? is that what it is? because they seem to love letting some old mistranslated book dictate their entire life, thoughts, feelings, actions, etc. they even make up stuff the book supposedly says to excuse their behavior and justify horrible things, which makes them hypocrites for not actually following their book they claim tells them exactly how to live their lives that they must follow exactly or they will go to hell. but they sure like to pick and choose what they follow and make up new rules. but anyway, why do they hate dinosaurs lmao

Love Palestine more than you hate Israel. Love trans people more than you hate transphobia. Love the poor more than you hate the rich.

Always love who you fight for more than you hate those who you fight against. Otherwise when the Uniting Enemy is gone, you might start to hate as well.

Anger is part of revolution, but love is too.

Edit: Some people are misunderstanding this post so let me clarify. I do not mean you should not be angry at them, in fact I believe you should be very angry, I mean there needs to be some love in the mix so your anger won’t be manipulated. If your *only* driving force is anger then that anger can be flipped around to hate the very people you are trying to help. This is why a lot of media uses anger, it’s a powerful emotion. But as I said, if all you got is how mad you are at one person and not how much you care about someone else a shock inducing headline about the “barbaric Palestinians” can pull you in.

the loss you feel when you think you missed out on some clues that somebody is into you vs the fear that somebody hates your guts but doesn't tell you
