Everyday i wake up angry about the lysandra and Nehemiah fan art.
#i read these books in middle school#*which i so not endorse for obvious reasons#BUT#even then I never thought of those two as the skinny women shown in the fan art#nehemiah is a WARRIOR princess#LUGGING AROUND A GIANT STICK#and you think she is skinny??#NO#AND LYSANDRA#actually i dont know my reasoning for lysandra#but she was never anything less than plussized#in my mind#these are all aparently headcannons but i do wish to make it cannon#why did my middleschool brain have more subconscious representation#than a fully grown woman writing?#who knows

i love how different percabeth is from different male lead narrated american middle school romances from the romantic point of view. usually, the male lead has a crush on the cold and kind of mean female protagonist cause she's pretty and not like the other girls.....she's pretty and not like the other girls....thats it oops. but annabeth and percy. annabeth fell first. even though she's cold and sassy too, she believed in percy. she saw the good in him and loved him for it. then percy fell. he didnt have to worry about whether annabeth would like a loser like him. yeah, he doubted why annabeth liked him once in a while, but it was a never a question of 'does she?' its healthy. and thats what makes rick riordan one of the best middle school authors ever thank you bye
#now i cannot read another middle school book without rolling my eyes at the romance anymore#richard free me from the chains of the standards youve set pls#percy jackson#pjo#annabeth chase#rick riordan#pjo fandom#percabeth#pjo tv show#pjo tv series#heroes of olympus#percy x annabeth#percy series#percy pjo#percy and annabeth#annabeth#perseus jackson#pjo books#chalice of the gods#hoo text post#percyjackson#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo fic#pjo series#pjo hoo toa#pjo hoo#hoo#rrverse#rr#rick riordanverse

everyone loves talking about little jon in correlation to mr. spider but no one ever talks about how insufferable this kid was. i wouldn’t wish sitting next to him in class upon my worst enemy
#if i had to do a group project with him i’d be so annoyed but at least he gets his work done#hc that he’s always read his books out loud like he does with statements btw. he stopped around middle school—#— when enough people called him annoying for it#he definitely had a bowl cut until he was like 6. he looks like the type. and then THIS is what he upgraded to#real talk i love making fun of him as much as the next guy but he’s soooo relatable unfortunately#he’s just a little boy in an unending pursuit of knowledge. he’s new to the world and all he wants is to know how it all works.#and even at this age a part of him knows he’ll never be able to satiate that curiosity#or something. anyways he would love reciting fun facts to strangers (no one else finds them very fun)#the magnus archives#tma#tma fanart#magpod#the magnus archives fanart#tma art#jonathan sims#the archivist tma#jarchivist#jon sims#jon tma#jonathan sims fanart#tma jon#jonathan sims art#artists on tumblr

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.
His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.
His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.
Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.
Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.
Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.
But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.
But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.
He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.
And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.
And the truth is worse than all of the lies.
How horrifying.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc#danny fenton is a clone#clone danny fenton#clone danny#thinking about the inherent trauma that comes with growing up as a clone and not knowing and questioning everything about yourself#thinking about the amount of effort and lying that Jack and Maddie would've had to to do if they wanted to pass Danny off as their bio son#the MEDICAL RECORDS#danny's medical history is completely different from theirs. any generational health problems the waynes have would/could be passed down to#danny and he's completely oblivious to it up until the reveal. he'd have no idea about any medical risks until they hit him before that.#so many little things and inconsistencies that would just build and build and build until it finally came to a head and the truth came out#forever and ever and ever fascinated by the underlying horror of being a clone. there's a horror in being cloned but there's also a horror#in BEING a clone. like yes he could've always known from the start and that comes with its own set of issues BUT. just. him not knowing#for the longest time. the lies and deceit and betrayal. you know how adopted kids come out and talk about how they didn't know they were#adopted for the longest time and how traumatizing and betrayed they felt when they're finally told 15-20 years down the line? yeah that#i imagine finding out you're a clone is a lot like that.#i read a book in middle school once abt a girl moving to a new town with her family and getting these horrible nightmares and noticing how#everyone was acting strange around her. one of her nightmares was about the 30yo police officer being a shambling corpse talking to her#and at the end of the book she finds out she's actually the clone of a dead older sister and the police officer was her sister's boyfriend.#and she was in gymnastics but quit and her parents were so disappointed bc the og sister was a champion/award winning gymnastics player#and i never did finish the book but god am i reminded of that.#i love reading the dpxdc clone danny posts and they usually have him brush off being a clone which is literally totally fine but duUUDE#just imagine his own horror over it. its SOOO good

[Fic Book Covers 11+12/?] Integrative Approaches by Nnm / @mouseonamoose
Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma
As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following: --His clothing was expensive and stylish; --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne; --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;” --He looked angry; --He was wearing sunglasses. What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
Angel-Centered Therapy Through A Multicultural Lens
“I’d love to meet with you,” Davey said, apologetically, when he had been called up by a fellow looking to initiate therapy, “but I’m all booked up for months.” “Are you sure?” The fellow said, through a poor connection that crackled. Davey had been sure. And yet. Right there in his calendar was a blank spot, just a few days away, which he had somehow completely overlooked before. “How about that…I’ve got Wednesday at eleven, if you can make that work.” “What a miracle,” the fellow said, “that would be just the perfect time.”
#fic book cover#fanfic cover#fic rec#good omens#demonology and the tri-phasic model of trauma#angel-centered therapy through a multicultural lens#Nnm#illogical makes#these have been sitting in my drafts for...a long while bc they didn't feel quite right#until i was struck with: they look so brand-new-textbook-right-off-the-shelf. they look too neat and pristine#they need some wear and tear. they need to look like the paperbacks i read 100000 times in middle/high school#and once that was added it really came together imo#anyway. these fics are so lovely & gentle & supportive and i read them at a time when i really needed a story that said w/ its whole self#'things can and will get better. it may be difficult. it may be painful. it may not be the same as it was before. but it will get better.'#so thank you for that <3

Robin!Jason Todd tried secretly listening to an audiobook one night because crime was super slow and there was a stakeout and he had to keep an eye on everything, but it’s boring.
It worked out well, so he starts doing it more often.
Sometimes he doesn’t get the chance to turn it off or tune it out during a fight, so he then sometimes ends up reacting to the book out loud involuntarily, like saying “what?!” and “no!” in front of bad guys.
It still goes on for another couple weeks until Batman figured out what’s been going on and bans audiobooks on patrols.
(Jason still does it during stakeouts. It’s not patrol)
#inspired by me reading ‘’the school for whatnots’’ and I keep reacting out loud every few chapters#I swear it’s a middle school age book but I haven’t reacted this much out loud to a book since ‘’Lunar Chronicles’’#and I didn’t even really SAY anything OUT LOUD#I would stop in my tracks though so I’m counting it#both books have blown my mind so much#jason todd#robin jason todd#batfam#batfam headcanons#batman#the school for whatnots

making a new yearly bullet journal spread is serious business (I drew 72 mini calendar grids and my hand cramped)
#i don’t think i’ve written/drawn to the point of hand cramps since like middle school#it was bc did all the month’s habit trackers (5 per month) now in advance bc I think it makes more sense to get the full picture of all#months at once#and also those mini calendar grids are my least favorite part so now won’t have to bother with those anymore#bookblr#studyblr#booklr#aesthetic#books#study#reading#read#book#bujo#bullet journal#dark academia#january 2024#2024#i also have a page for books but currently it’s just a title so didn’t bother with the pic

looking for a new piece of xenofiction
ask the creator if their xenofiction is Watership Down or Warrior Cats
they don’t understand
pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is Watership Down and what is Warrior Cats
they laugh and say ‘It’s good xenofiction sir’
look inside
it’s Warrior Cats
#azureisms#and now for a nichepost that will appeal to approximately nobody#animal xenofiction#xenofiction#sorry to get pretentious in here tonight gang I just need to be a hater sometimes. for enrichment#Don’t get me wrong every person who got into xenofiction from Warrior Cats is a win in my book#Like I Was One Of Those#But you Start To Notice#Once you’ve read books where the animals Act Like Animals#How it was among the first patients of the 'little humans in wild animal costumes' curse#Like I signed up for animals…. where are the animals#Yea this is about published books written by Warrior Cats Youtubers who you can tell have never touched anything else in the genre#bc when you bite into the worldbuilding it tastes like wet cardboard#this is also about warriors rewrites that just anthropomorphize the cats more like we didn’t pick up the books in middle school#because we wanted to see wild cats being wild cats#but alas! that’s me complaining#DeviantArt wolf comics and sparklecat OCs are a staple of culture. I’m not your god. be free

@nekosammsi he chose the wrong place to get stage dressings
#discworld#moist von lipwig#going postal#terry pratchett#i don't know why but i particularly enjoy the ''pieces of eight'' gag#it's very stupid#i think it's the same part of me that loves ace attorney#we love a parrot providing vital clues to murder investigations#put him on the stand!!!#my art#the moist books were my first foray into the discworld series and i think in my heart they will always be the pinnacle#of the discworld series for me#(not counting raising steam which was. a book.)#my middle school library had making money#it was very random#they had no other terry pratchett books not even his middle grade level books#but they had making money and my friend's father had mentioned liking terry pratchett so i picked it up#and it was love at first sight#so i read making money first and then went to the public library to read going postal and there was no hope of salvation after that

I'm reading Frankenstein, and the Monster is outright described as being yellow, so I'm curious about where the depiction of him being green came from.
However, I'm absolutely tickled by the idea of him being yellow while his bride is blue, to make Frankie's green.
#monster high#frankenstein#frankie stein#monster high gen 1#i actually have so many thoughts about victor and his place in mh#im gonna have to rewatch freaky fusion#also i remember the book being a lot harder to understand when i read it in high school#so im glad to see that i didn't actually get stupider over the years#i wanna make designs for all the parents but my god....im still figuring out how to draw middle-aged people#and i can only barely draw men...middle-aged men my ultimate weakness....#text post

Arknights Rainbow Six collab has a number of things going for it, not least of which is that it made me think about my feelings and perspective on the origins of Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's troubling political ideologies, and how a lot of that history has been forgotten in the years since the franchise has been in the hands of Ubisoft.
It's a story about art, artists, capitalism, grifters, community, and how political and monetary power interact with all of those things. It also has one of my favorite antagonists in the game so far with Reynell, and gives all the Rainbow cast members a chance to be heartfelt characters.
Also makes fun of NFTs, which, while definitely dated by now, is still great to see. Shame it's in a gacha game, really.

I'm 40 pages into rereading a Titan's Curse after many many years and man does age change things.
I remember being 11 going "how could Bianca just give up on Nico to become a hunter" but she was a terrified 12 year old girl who's had to raise her little brother alone, and in the first hour of her discovering that she's a half-blood- after nearly being killed by either a monster or a gunwielding helicopter- she's approached by a pack of amazing girls and a Goddess who saves her life, tells her she can have 1. A family Forever (which she's Never really had), 2. her brother taken care of by people she Assumes are responsible and skilled, And 3. immortality- which to a 12 year old doesn't sound terrible even though it very much so is.
They got her in the First. 36. Pages.
#bianca baby I'm so sorry I misunderstood you#it took 10 years but I got it together#percy jackson#pjo#let me read the rest of this book maybe this opinion changes#i read it late middle school too but i have the memory of a ball of cotton so i just forget every media i consume even if im a diehard fan
