AND YOU CALLED HIM SELFISH.
YOU CALLED IT RUNNING AWAY.
The first time Do Han finally gathered up the courage to try to protect the people he loved by risking himself, you fucking called him selfish forbid him from doing so.
FUCK YOU.
DO HAN NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS. HE JUST WANTS TO GIVE LIVE HIS HAPPY GAY LIFE IN NEW YORK FAR AWAY FROM ALL OF YOU. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR HIM.

The in story reasons of Odysseus and Penelopes namesss
Odysseus, named by his grandfather, someone so fueled by hate, he named his only grandson "he who causes pain". He named a child after suffering because, in his eyes, the whole world suffers.
Penelope, who was born to "Arnacia", but renamed after swans/ducks saved her from her own father. Her own father tried to kill because she wasn't who he wanted.

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago
So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!
ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.
Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.
Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.
Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.
Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.
Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

Holy shit I'm being forced to listen to this sermon and bro flat out said "Don't read your bible yourself because you need to hear it. The bible says faith comes by hearing, not reading. Studying and reading yourself won't lead to faith. You need to listen to me instead" like damn really just saying the quiet part out loud, eh?

ramble: ravinstill-dovecote friendships
You know what would be really funny? Because Clemmie and Felix are good friends in this AU and as were President Ravinstill and Hector Dovecote, Pres. Ravinstill probably draws comparisons between the two friendships.
Especially if this takes place after he got his signet ring back from Clemmie.
Dr. Gaul is probably going through it tbh
Pres. Ravinstill keeps telling her all about it and she really doesn't want to hear about Hector. AGAIN.
You'd think the man being dead 30+ years would have changed things. Nope.
Also Pres. Ravinstill is probably on the verge of a heart attack every time THE troublesome trio is in the districts (intentionally or not)
Did you really think our trio (Felix/Iphigenia/Clemensia) only ended up in the districts once? Nah.
Pres. Ravinstill has lost too many of his family & friends to the districts.
Felix, to his friends: Too bad we can't visit *insert district number* like we used to.
Pres. Ravinstill, overhearing them: *having flashbacks to every single person he's lost due to the districts*
Clemensia: Yeah, I'd want to see Reaper again!
Pres. Ravinstill, still in the shadows, listening: *remembering what happened the last time Hector Dovecote went to the districts*
Felix is like sort of his favourite grand-nephew (technically, he loves all his brother's descendants equally lol) and like how is he supposed to face Hector in the afterlife, if Hector's granddaughter is like, dead?
More AU thoughts and rambles here

YET AGAIN I AM BEING PLAGUED BY THE TESLA CYBER TRUCK.
This time was somehow so much freakier than last time I saw one.
I was peacefully driving through town at night as one does, when it happened. I approached an intersection expecting the usual nighttime drivers of the token prius or Ford fiesta, but what I got was so much worse.
Sitting at that fateful intersection was the most horrifying alien looking beast of a "truck" that has ever existed. I let out an audible scream at the sight of it, because I was sure that this was the end-- that elon had finally come for me.
I tried to desperately escape the foul thing by turning to evade it on another street, but much to my dismay, the horrid creature followed after me- led light bar ablaze and low-poly form lumbering after me.
The 5 minutes that it was behind me were some of the most terrifying of my life.
I cannot describe the abject horror of having this creature behind me. Every time it got even a bit to close, I was sure it would be the end of me.
Needless to say, these lithium bomb freak mobiles should not be let out at night.
For reference, this is what it looked like:

Ive also been thinking about cross-gen ships for Percy alot recently too
specifically in an au where Percy/Penny don't break up and instead Penny dies in the war *or if you want the situation to be even more complicated- they do break up and Percy gets with Audrey and then she dies sometime after having Molly and Lucy just depends what vibe you want
i just
i can see that Percy being the type to not move on quickly in that scenario leading to years passing him without trying again until this younger person decides that their going to try their hardest to get this older mans attention
plus Percy having moral dilemmas is always so fun to me
like this would not be an easy feat for this person to accomplish trying to walk uphill with boulders attached to their feet type difficult

the easiest way to tell that zionism has nothing to do with being jewish is to look at any example of how they treat ethiopian and other black jews
