#i'v talked about it a bit

[didderd]

Hello! First of all, Tic is so cute I would just love to give him a hug! But also have a tiny question.. How does it feel when a tic is about to happen? I could imagine that sometimes it's hard to register before it happens, but I also know you can supress them a litte? So I'm very curious!

(U get litol Tic hug, bc I felt like it. :3)

Ok, so there is a very specific feeling/sensation, which may be hard to explain, but the closest comparison I can think of is like. the feeling you get before a yawn? but a bit more? tingly?? Most ppl compare tics to sneezes, but I think at least the feeling itself is closer to the urge to yawn. It's also more. in your body, or specifically the part of your body that want's to tic.

(I hope I'm explaining that well. I don't often take conscious notes of how these things feel lol.)

And yes, you'd be right about that. It is sometimes hard to register before it happens. Sometimes we might not even feel it at all before it happens, or it can also be just to sudden to catch.

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

Originally I was gonna draw her in my favorite outfits she's worn, but with barely any digging I realized she consistently has the best looks- as well as the most- and it will take way too long to pick through them. So I just drew her.

There's a special kind of ecstasy I feel when I read an Andrew Joseph White book and his protag unapologetically talks about the horrors of being a woman (without pulling any punches), and talks about the horrors of being a woman when a woman is not what you are

What was your favorite of the flashbacks in Silver’s walk?

the acorn bracelet is VERY good, but I really really love Malleus humming (hummalleus? hummus?) to Silver. especially now that the song has Context. >:) we are in a soup of angst and I'm here with a spoon in each hand and a silly straw that leads directly to my brain.

Is Oneion ok? 👉🏼🥺👈🏼

After the whole battle with Toast, I’ve been worried about him.

Baby boy just really looked like he needed a hug.

Is he up for hugs or is he isolating right now?

he's fiiiiine, he's just being very emo about it, ignoring texts and calls from Sprout and coming up with stupid "too busy" excuses not to hang out

he'll put on his big boy pants at some point and go deal with the whole situation

he knows he can't keep coming with excuses forever, also he doesn't want to do that, he wants to be with them, he just can't trust himself with that for now

No but I gotta talk about Medusa for a minute actually.

It's been. A very long time since I read the PJO books so I don't exactly remember how Uncle Rick presents Medusa in the book. But the way the show introduces her myth? Fascinating. For me as a Greek mythology enthusiast, that is.

The show makes Medusa a victim of Athena. Of course, the show is mainly for kids, so they can't exactly say that, hey, kids, Medusa was Athena's priestess and she was raped by Poseidon, YEP, or protagonist's father, IN Athena's temple, nah, that's neither kid-friendly nor does it endears us to Poseidon. Not that Poseidon is very dear to us viewers/readers at this point, our narrator/protagonist can't stand his own dad.

But still what fascinates me is that even though they twisted the myth to ft the narrative they still managed to evoke Athena's curse as being actually a gift, and Medusa not feeling wretched over her condition but blessed.

Which is not a modern reading of the myth, actually. Saying that Athena couldn't punish Poseidon for his transgression and could only punish Medusa, but did so in a way that would give Medusa weapons to defend herself against whoever and whatever would try to harm her again, is a narrative that exists since Antiquity.

My point is that the re-framing of Medusa's myth, departing from the traditional, non-kid-friendly version while still incorporating both classic and modern elements, is a good frame of reference for the series (book and show)' entire approach to mythology. And I guess I'm saying that mostly for the non-book readers who are discovering this world, many of whom might be Greek mythology fans and might have gone "wait, why is Hades AGAIN presented as the bad guy when he's the chillest, most normal, most stable god in this entire pantheon", because that's a conversation the book fandom has been having (over and over again) for more than a decade.

Anyway, yeah. As a long time book fan and a show appreciative, here's my advice to anyone who knows WAY too much about Greek myths and still want to enjoy the ride without going every five minutes "wait, that's not correct": reframe. Contemporary rewritings, modern audiences and Fantasy genre.
