All the fandom talk bout how Jupiter/Zeus saving Thalia and not Jason favoritism nonsense. I mean can you blame him? If i was Jove I'd be pretty bummed I made someone as boring as Jason
alksdjf LMAO
#I do think that thats a false dichotomy because Jason's situation was in no way the same#Thalia sacrificed her life so they could get to safety and may have prayed to her dad to protect them#She was also a young child at the time#only 12 I believe#Jason was an older teen who was in war#it wasn't a child being unjustly chased for existing#it was him chosing to go into battle#him chosing to give up his life for them#also if he chose the fate to die then Zeus cannot interfere#there are mythological examples of him grieving when he can't interfere in the death of those he cares for#so like-#really i don't get the fandom#anyways yeah you're right lmao#jason grace#anon asks#life answers

i think he deserves the therapy dinosaur
ft. lyra’s own ominous ass chikorita
#pokemon#pokemon hgss#trainer silver#rival silver#trainer lyra#meganium#chikorita#millidrew#art#my post#this came about because I REALLYY wanted to give Ethan a cyndaquil#this was before I included lyra in my brain so kris as the protag got totodile#and silver got chikorita. I think the difference between him going >:((( strong pokemon#and this very calm and happy to be here bean sprout dinosaur is very fun#now about lyra’s chikorita#it end up fitting really well by completing the protag trio#she chose the starter weak to her brother’s but effective against her brother’s rival (who will also become her rival)#(that’s kris btw)#…but despite the type advantage she still loses every battle they have.#and she matches with that angsty guy they see sometimes!#success!

“How many people died tonight? How many people didn’t you protect?”
“The fight is over Jason. Take my hand. You have no choice!”
“But I do have a choice.”
“Don’t do it! You can reform! I’ll see to that!”
What’s the matter dick? Don’t want my blood on your hands? well it’s too late!”
Jason tosses the cape in dicks face and dick doesn’t regulate his hit enough. Jason is knocked over the edge of the building and chooses to fall over the edge instead of taking dicks hand. Battle for the cowl #3
#battle for the cowl#dc#dick grayson#nightwing#competent dick#Jason and dick#dick and Bruce#Jason and Bruce#dick grayson batman#Jason Todd#if my brother#unstable as he may be#chose to let go of the edge over taking my hand for just a second I’d actually kill him and then myself#like bro#be so ffr

odysseus the moment when, for the first time in 20 years, nobody is trying to kill him: whelp, guess it's time to kms
#epic the musical#like he's so real for that#it just makes me giggle#also the fact that ruthlessness is mercy#in this case being ruthless to himself is the only mercy against the voices in his head#also also the fact that he became the monster#i.e. the thing he is now fighting#man vs monster to man vs self pipeline is the same battle#also also the fact that he chose his life over everyone else's and is immediately like#fuck#actually i don't want this#but not just because of the guilt#which would do it for any mortal#but because he's battled hunger and storms and monsters and gods to get home to his wife#and now he's on a literal magic prison that makes it IMPOSSIBLE for him to get home to his wife and kid#the only thing he wants to do#like no wonder he's going through it#“please let me close my eyes” king i love you#you may have killed a baby and your idea of greeting the world with open arms is pre-poisoning wine with lotus juice but i still love you#at least the musical version#fae rambles#odysseus

I finished Dragon Age: Origins and it's many DLCs somewhat recently, as well as Dragon Age 2 and it's been pretty good so far. DA2 wasn't my favorite, but it did give us these sick series of Grey Warden armor sets, so I'm all for it.
I'll show my Hawke and Inquisitor some other time. I'm just very obsessed with my boy Frederick here :3
#art#my art#frederick cousland#dragon age#dragon age origins#grey warden#cousland#i think I got all of the DAO titles for the player character and background I chose#hopefully I did#oh also there's no real meaning to this piece other than color relativity is fun and orange broody lighting is also fun#What door is open in front of him? I imagine it's some interior location in Denerim during the final battle#and he's about to go face a horde of darkspawn#maybe idk that meaning came after lol

for the sake of my own mental stability i chose to not only block out the entire calypso’s island chapter in botl but also just choose to believe that the magic of the island is what really was making percy so infatuated with calypso
bc what do you MEAN calypso is prettier than aphrodite… AND HE SAID THIS THREE DAMN CHAPTERS AFTER ANNABETH KISSED HIM… AND IN THE PREVIOUS BOOK HE JUST SAID APHRODITE LOOKED LIKE ANNABETH
therefore, for the sake of my own health, i chose to believe that whoever washes up on calypso’s island is just automatically immediately “in love” with her and that’s where the challenge of staying with her or leaving the island comes from
#percy jackson#pjo#annabeth chase#pjo hoo toa#calypso#CALYPSO NUMBER 1 PUBLIC ENEMY#i chose to completely erase botl from my memory like haha pjo only had 4 og books lol#what is a labrinyth 😂😂😂😂😂😂#what is a calypso 😂😂😂😂#still haven’t reread it since i read it for the first time at 12#12 year old me had to stop being in love with percy rq during that book he was making me mad#that’s still my son tho he was going through it in botl so i cut him some slack#percy jackson and the olympians#battle of the labyrinth#pjo series

your cotl au is giving me brainworms (positive). i wonder how things would go when/if the bishops ended up in the cult too- would they lose their memories or try to remind narinder of who he used to be?
ty for the question! only Narinder had his memories wiped, the other bishops kept their memories since they kept their ties to their crowns
the red crown was originally "loaned" to the lamb, so they were able to use its powers without fully claiming ownership. but when Narinder was defeated the crown wasn't properly passed down. As a result, its kind of a shared custody situation and the lamb cant use the crown without having Narinder nearby since its still tethered to him (hence the bodyguard/attendant role)
when the lamb recruited the other bishops, they informed them of Narinder's situation and they kind of have an understanding to keep his past a secret from him; for the bishops, if he remembers them imprisoning him it might start another war. they agree that its better this way.
#they each have their own feelings abt it though... shamura was the closest to narinder and sympathized with him so theyre a little sad#they wont be able to have the same relationship with nari as before since he doesnt know abt their past. they still try to get him to#open up and maybe itll never be the same but they understand why the lamb chose to keep it a secret#kallamar would really rather not go thru all that again and heket is tired of fighting what she knows is an endless battle so they went#along with it willingly. idk what kinda feelings leshy would have abt it though it feels like he wasnt close to narinder. indifference??#false prophet! au#cotl au#cult of the lamb au#cult of the lamb#cotl#ask#answered

do you ever get pissed off thinking about something that pissed you off years ago. today i can’t stop thinking about the time that my friend got annoyed at me n some of my other friends for bringing up the times (plural) that he had sex while we were in the room. like not to victim blame but if you don’t want us talking about you having sex while we were right next to you maybe you shouldn’t have had sex while we were right next to you
#we were making jokes about it and he had the Audacity to get pissy about it. girl#personally i think he got off light since we chose to make jokes instead of actually getting mad#not to bring all my personal drama to tumblr but this guy is kind of an asshole and ‘friend’ is a strong word#i stopped liking him as a person like 5 years ago#but we’re in a friend group together so i simply choose to let it go and play nice 🙂#anyways i think the reason that things like this still annoy me is that i chose not to say anything and just let him be a bitch about it#i didn’t start pointless drama and now i’m suffering for it 😔#basically every time i choose not to start a fight the fight i didn’t start haunts me forever#remember kids. ‘pick your battles’ means you have to pick every battle you see and never stop fighting and be a generally unpleasant person

i think listening to too many media retrospectives recently got me thinking about that kind of thing a lot. How much does a character actually 'matter' in a story. Like okay structurally speaking you've got protagonists and supporting casts and antagonists and people who just kind of sit around waiting for plot to happen. There's characters who move the plot forward, and there's characters who exist just to fill in the gap of the world
I find a lot of joy trying to figure out how far I can take an interpretation based on everything the established canon gives me I think. I can complain all day about how canon doesn't do enough for them but I wanna see what the rest of this world says. What if you just kind of. Forgot that this guy isn't a main character and just thought 'yeah this is a guy who's living a life. What's that life look like?'
All this to say you guys are going to be hit with SO many fucking Saintsbridge Boys headcanons in the near future and there isn't a damn thing you and I can do about it. I've had too many thoughts about Derryl and the Saintsbridge social climate and I can't waste any of it
#timely visits#vir's fic logs#look i'm just saying. If COTC's going to tell me that Orsterra sustained heavy losses in naval battles#and Derryl's dad is NOWHERE to be seen#AND I chose to slot him into a Knight Ardante role#AND he's teammates with someone who still has a loving and LIVING mom#yes I'm trying as hard as I can to make him sound interesting to me too#it's working so far and it got gayer than I expected

Aristophanes is my hater goal
#he dunked on Euripides he dunked on Philoxenus he dunked on Cleon he dunked on Cratinus#man woke up and chose hatred every single day of his life. Committed to the fucking bit.#he was after Euripides like Kendrick was (still is?) after Drake. On God.#Yes Aristophanes did publish multiple plays implying Euripides was what was wrong about Athens while Euripides was alive AND AFTER HE DIED#LIKE MONTHS AFTER EURIPIDES DIED Aristophanes wrote a play in which Ghost Euripides gets dragged as Thr Worst Thing To Happen To Theatre#And Athens by the Ghost of the most important author of tregedy in all Greece#in a verse battle#he calls Euripides a fraud and a danger and a terrible teacher for the city#Imagine you're like Euripides's son and your dad died only a few months ago and you're sad and you go to the theatre#because it's the theatre Festival and it's super important in Athens. Also there's a war going on so you need something to cheer you up.#It's the day of the comedies. Maybe you'll laugh a little maybe a show will put you in a good mood.#the show starts#Your father is being called a deranged fraud a bitchass talentless soulless writer who never did one good thing in his entire life.#Everybody claps. It wins the first prize.#There's actually a bit where your dad is in hell and they could have brought him back from the dead#but he is too much of a fucking piece of shit so they leave him in hell after being humiliated in a verse battle with Greek Shakespeare#and everybody he is so happy that he is not the one that gets to live again but Greek Shakespeare is#Jesus Christ that's brutal#aristophanes#the frogs#euripides#greek literature#ancient greece#ancient greek

[ @refrxctedprism || Replied for an Event starter!]
"Young Miyamotos! I must speak with you." Yagi had raised his hand as he dismissed his class. He and Fin had already spoken at length of what they were planning to do. Anyone who was too close to the situation was to be warned- and for Kage and Hikari, possibly, relocated. The risk of either being harmed (or worse, killed) was too much not to warn. "Please, stay just a few minutes."

josh not being able to survive the violent revolution is absolute bullshit that makes me mad to this day, but what even is death in an android world? if you gave him enough blue blood and had spare body parts on hand, would be able to come back?
#like if the jericrew succeed and gain access to android production plants could they bring josh back to life?#he doesn’t get shot in the head so his main operating system/memories/personality should be fine right?#although even if he was shot in the head markus has clearly proven that even that isn’t a permanent roadblock#ig you could make a case for josh not /wanting/ to come back to a victory won by a violent method but i chose to trust him as a man of his#word and if he says that he’ll follow markus no matter what then he’ll follow markus no matter what!#idc what the actual answer is: i now accept this as canon 🙏#like i get that a choice based videogame has to have meaningful consequences for your choices for it to feel like an actual experience but#none of your choices impact if josh lives or dies!! the ONLY thing that means he dies in the final chapter is if you pick the violent#revolution!! nothing else!! not your relationship!! not your success as a leader up until this point!! absolutely nothing!! just as soon as#you pick anything other than demonstration he’s dead#it just makes me so goddamn sad like :( josh who never wanted this choosing to go against his morals because he 100% believes that markus is#the one who will lead the androids to freedom. and none of that matters because he gets gunned down the second he steps into battle :(#he must’ve been so scared :(#josh#dbh#mine

I misread “Fanart” as “Screenshot” and I don’t know how, but anyways, it’s the first fanart I’ve done of our under-appreciated girl!
#Bucchigire!#Shine On! Bakumatsu Bad Boys#ブッチギレ!#Okayo is an unsung hero of this anime and I'll tell you why#She had every opportunity to stab Ichibanboshi where he stood for having murdered her brother#ALSO SIDE TANGENT but when confronted with her brother's killer she straight up said 'let me at him' and went to stab him#As far as she knew Ichibanboshi was a strong swordsman who beat even her brother in battle#And she still said 'I'm steeling my resolve I'm going to stab him'#But instead she willingly provided him information of a private conversation she had with her brother#Then chose NOT TO LEAVE KYO even though she now knows the threat is real and stays to help rebuild#And of course she goes on to build a school because she's trying to fix the system of poverty from the ground up#Anyways I love Okayo thank you for letting me rant#Insanity Draws#Insanity of Mojiru

excerpts from “The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes” in The Complete First Edition: The Original Folk & Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, translated and edited by Jack Zipes, and from “The Twelve Dancing Princesses” in Transformations by Anne Sexton
#in the original story there’s no real emotion given to the soldier#aside from maybe that he had a pleasant chat with the old woman which inspired her to give him advice and the invisibility cloak#but it makes sense to portray him as angry when he rats out the princesses#‘his eyes fiery like blood in a wound’ and ‘his purpose brutal as if facing a battle’#since the princesses condemned many men to die and were going to have him killed as well if he had failed the challenge#and he’s defined as a soldier but he’s really not a soldier anymore because he was declared unfit after being injured#so this man that is said to be old had to find some new life for himself#which I don’t think he would have been happy about#in the original story he came across to me as wistful and directionless in the beginning of the story#as he was headed to do the challenge because he was curious about the mystery of the princesses’ dancing#but then actually became determined when the old woman gave him advice on how to win#but how he’s characterized in this poem makes me think that he was originally going to do it because#he would either be set for life or have been quickly killed#the phrasing that ‘the sun came up naked and angry’ stood out to me#because it was so different from the early phrasing of ‘dawn coming up like statues of honey’ in the modern section#so I interpret that as being from the soldier’s angry perspective#and I think the purpose of that very mundane example that passengers on a modern airplane would understand the princesses#was to indicate that had they lived when the poem was written their desire for nightlife and to marry who they chose#would have been respected- but since they lived in the past their father the king had the ability/right to control them#fairy tales#the twelve dancing princesses#my posts#poetry

Regency!John Price who inherited his brothers duke title, because his brother died without an heir. John was the second oldest son, and he never thought about being the successor to the title, so he chose a military career.
He was a captain who fought wars and won them, not some lord who fancied balls and dressed in fancy clothing. But now he doesn’t have a choice. John comes back home after he has been badly injured in the battle, he was shot in his leg, and he had to use a wheelchair for quite some time.
When he comes home, to the new house and staff who pities him, he doesn’t feel like a man he once was. At the first ball he must attend he can see everyone eyes on him as he stumbles with his cane. He absolutely hates it. So, he makes a plane, he has to quickly marry some girl, make an heir and go live to the countryside where everyone will leave him alone.
You were on the other hand the youngest daughter of noble family. You weren’t rich, but your sisters and brothers married well, so you could keep good family reputation. Now it was your turn to marry, and as you were introduced to the society you quickly came to the realization, that you will probably end as a wife of some old man, who could be your grandfather.
So, when your cousin Johnny mentions, that his loyal friend and mentor John Price is looking for a wife you are interested. He tells you that John is a duke now and that he wants to get married as soon as possible. From Johnnys stories you know that John is a good man, who will hopefully respect you and treat you well.
You don’t get to meet your husband till the day of the wedding. The whole engagement is short and feels very official. He writes you a letter with things that you should know about your new home and your mother and sisters help you prepare for the married life.
When you finally see your future husband standing in the church, you’re quite surprised. He is very handsome, older than you, probably in his late 30s, but you’re sure that if he waited a little, he could find a better wife that you will be. John on the other hand is smitten by you, he also doesn’t understand why you would choose to marry him.
After the ceremony you immediately leave the town. He is very quiet the whole ride to his mansion and even thought you have many questions you stay quiet too. You arrive late in the night, exhausted from the long travel, but the only thing that concerns you is the wedding night. You heard a lot of horrible stories told by maids about their first nights with their husbands. The only thing that John does is that he shows you your room, tells you which butler to call if you have any troubles and he is gone. You’re left in the huge mansion alone and confused.
The breakfast takes place in the dining room. You sit at the table so far from John that you would have to shout to get his attention. He ignores you most of the time. At first you don’t mind it, you finally have some sort of freedom, you explore the land, the house and you find a huge library with many books you want to read.
But after some time, you start to crave his attention. The maids don’t want to be your friends, they think that it is highly inappropriate, you as a couple don’t attend any balls and there is no noble lady in the near distance you could visit and be friends with.
So, you start to write a diary, you write about how you feel and how would you like your husband to actually acknowledge you. Sometimes you also mention that you find him very attractive and the romance novels that you found in the library don’t help your imagination.
One time you forget your diary in the library and John accidentally picks it up. He thinks its some book that he hasn’t read yet. When he realizes that it is your handwriting, he knows that he should put it down, it is not right to invade your privacy. But then he sees his name there and he must know what you write about him.
He reads the whole paragraphs about how your meetings in the dinning room leaves you all flustered and how you crave his attention. He didn’t think that a young girl like you could find him attractive, and he wanted to be a good husband and leave you as much freedom as you could want. He didn’t want to pressure you into any kind of intimate relationship even though he was pressured by the rest of his family to have an heir. John leaves your diary where he found it, without any evidence that he read it.
The next morning, he invites you to eat breakfast with him in the garden. It is far more intimate, and you finally have a conversation with him. He asks you questions about your hobbies, your family and if you like it here.
It finally feels like he is courting you and you leave every encounter with him with rosy cheeks and butterflies in your stomach. He invites you on walks where he holds your hand as you tell him about your day or about the new book you just left. You spend the whole days together learning about each other.
John tells you stories about the war, the battles he fought. His leg heals up perfectly and now, that he is healthy again, he takes you with him when he goes riding. When you ask him if he likes the hight society he tells you the truth. He tells you how much he despises the formal event and the balls and suddenly it all makes sense to you.
You finally understand why he wanted to marry so quickly and why you live alone in the middle of nowhere. You tell him that you loved the dancing and the beautiful gown you could wear at balls but now you don’t mind the quiet life. Now you have him and that is all that matters.
One evening he makes a ball just for you. He invites a musician to play, he buys you an expensive gown and you pretend that you are at some formal event. It’s just the two of you dancing, laughing and drinking expensive champaign he bought for the ball. You dance the whole night and after he walks you to your bedroom he kisses you. It is a soft kiss, just your lips barely touching, but it starts a fire in you, and you want more.
When John realizes that you’re not pulling away he deepens the kiss. He knows that you have no experiences, and he wants to show you that he will treat you well. He spends the night with you, showing you in many ways how much he loves you.
And when you finally fall asleep, he thinks how lucky he is to find a wife like you. When you wake up and you see your husband sleeping in your bad you are very grateful that you accidentally left your diary in the library open on the page that mentioned how hot he was. Such a shame you didn’t come up with the plan a little earlier.
