#like… you can’t just leave me alone?

So this chick has been on-and-off again stalking me since high school. I could go into paragraphs of detail (I was about to), but no one wants to read all of that. Suffice to say, I guess she’s had some kind of crush on me for about 15-20 years or so (why??), and every few years it seems she pops up somewhere contacting me to try to persuade me to give her a chance. I should mention we never talked in high school, I actively avoided her, told her I didn’t like her, etc. nothing doing.

Anyway, somehow she’s been on one of my social media pages and saw I was having a hard time lately, so she found my phone number (what?? I hate that you can just find that online) and texted me out of the blue yesterday. Usual protocol is ignore and block so I don’t piss off an unstable person, but they decided to be gross, so

I wasn’t planning on posting anything about this before. If they were creeping around on my pages, mentioning it would only feed into them. Maybe. I don’t know. But this just kind of made me really uncomfortable and their response was shitty. I could have been a lot meaner. I wanted to be. But whatever, that wouldn’t have helped. So I just blocked them and hope that this time it sticks. If they see this, then hey… not cool.

I feel like people rarely talk about how Yoosung WAS being gaslit about Rika’s death when he knew something was wrong and everyone consistently said he was paranoid when he WASN’T. He was never allowed the chance to properly grieve and air out his (correct) issues with V and the shit surrounding Rika’s “death” until MC joins the RFA.

You can't just leave him to suffer all alone Makoto... ;w;

So this is essentially a role-reverse of this comic XD (idk why)

Makoto may be super moody and fussy when he catches the flu; but if Yuma catches the flu, he's super needy and clingy when delirious. And it looks like Makoto can't say no to him... x'D

I guess your work is going to have to wait after all. Now you better properly take care of your sick original! (just try not to get sick yourself hehe)

I know this comic is usually supposed to be heartwarming but...I made it more silly.

because they're silly lil' guys... x'D

Based on another skit from @foxes-in-love

Disclaimer for everyone: I need to avoid a lot of the unhelpful noise about recent events so I’m not going to be online for more than a couple minutes at a time here and there for several days.

My main priority with political and world event topics is the hard and careful discussions about them I have with specific people I have ongoing inroads with who are still in high control situations. I don’t have time and energy to engage with anyone about leftist moral superiority and bickering. Full stop. I’m donating money I can spare and I’m actively and constantly working with people still in the same high-control/cult groups I came out of.

Don’t come into my inbox again with more claims I’m supporting evil by not trying to bring about an immediate revolution against colonialism and capitalism while I’m just trying to keep some people alive and critically thinking long enough to get out of high control groups and actually vote, volunteer, and change policy. I hear you. I understand your anger. I’m not your real target though. Please focus somewhere else.

Thank you.

Hello.

I have a PJO OC and I must scream into the void about her.

—————————————————

Her name is Zosime, and she is from Sparta (I am changing history this is a fantasy retelling and Sparta was completely wiped out in the Battle of Leuctra here).

Zosime is 16, and a Daughter of Ares. She is Spartan, so Ancient Greek, and she is the only one to survive the Battle of Leuctra without being enslaved (due to intervention from Ares). She is a devoted and loyal daughter, and a proud Spartan, so with no one else left to do it— she digs the graves of her people alone, by hand (they did not have shovels). She digs until her fingers are freezing and bleeding, and continues digging. She buries her people without rest, so they may find their glory in Elysium. Then she collects the remaining shields of Sparta’s warriors and carves the names of her people into them, embedding them into the stone at the bottom of the Gods temples— so that the Gods look down upon her ruined lands and see the people they failed.

Zosime, once she has completed what is can to honor her dead and keep them remembered— not even carving her own name— dies in her father’s temple; from starvation, hypothermia, and overwork.

Ares (i imagine he was a great father until many of his children were abandoned during times of need by the other Gods, and then just decided getting attached and watching them die was not something he enjoyed; he still cares tho, because he seems to give each of his children weapons in PJO) lays her to rest on the altar of his temple, with her xiphos in hand— he made this xiphos for her, a gift upon her birth, so it was hers and life and will be hers in death.

The temple is hidden, ruined, unsafe for mortals to venture in as time passes and weather wears the stone.

Until Camp Half-Blood is founded.

They are a small camp, very small, and whoever is in charge at the time dictates that any Demigod on a quest must return with any Ancient Demigod Relic they find.

They find Zosime’s remains, merely a weathered skeleton.

They find her with her xiphos, made of celestial bronze and still looking new.

They have to shatter the bones to take it, but it should be fine; right?

Wrong.

Demigods, especially Spartans— even the non-Demigod ones—, are buried with their weapons. Those who die with their weapons in their hands are tied to it. If it is removed from their resting place, their Soul returns with it until it is put back.

Zosime has been haunting Camp Half-Blood for centuries; none can see her, none can hear her, but she does her best to keep the other children of her Father safe from those who scorn him— and scorn them in turn.

She is an angry, restless spirit, who none know the name of— for she did not die a ‘Glorious Death’, and was unremembered in the Hall of Heroes.

Percy Jackson comes.

He has his riptide; but he is given another weapon. A spare, if you will.

He is given her xiphos.

And so, as she is tied to the weapon, she is forced to follow him.

Apparently, the one in possession of her xiphos can see and hear her, but no one else.

So Percy now has this very angry Spartan Spirit, a Daughter of Ares, following him on his quest and cursing his choices— but she’s also surprisingly helpful??

He does not have much skill in swords yet, but if he uses the xiphos she can possess him and make his body move how it must to wield it.

And I just imagine Ares, who was furious upon seeing his daughters resting place desecrated, her xiphos— his gift, that he molded with his own hands— stolen. I imagine he gets even worse in behavior after that; not just emotionally distant, but actively ignoring his demigod children’s prayers most of the time.

I imagine how angry he is when he finds Camp Half-Blood took it, without even knowing the name of its wielder, and now it is possession of Poseidon’s Son— who he is NOT a fan of.

I imagine, at the very end, she is allowed to return to rest at some point. And I imagine it gets emotional when Ares has to return to his fallen temple and basically lay his most Loyal and Devoted Daughter to rest again. (Or does he…?)

Sorryyyy for dropping off the face of the earth; got kinda shy after that last post but mostly I’ve just been writing though I cannot guarantee that any of that will ever be finished (also I’m very insecure about my writing AAAH). Figure I might as well post the valentines I had done (like two months late lol); interestingly this turned into more of a hand lettering exercise than I was expecting lol

the deweys photos are from this video: https://youtu.be/5xTwJho44ao?si=bPw8MZZ327lCogVZ aren’t they just everything

kissing you and the minnesota wild official media team (with consent) full on the mouth, THANK YOU THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING 🥰🥰 i have seen pieces of it before i think (connor petting a shark 🥹) but the entire video start to finish is such a delight, 10/10 would recommend

[lemonynuggets]

makes me so insane when I see people bullying others for existing like. Does this person’s existence hurt you this much. Do you really have the primordial need of shaming anyone that’s slightly different from you. Do you feel that much rage seeing someone else be happy.

[eye-of-yelough]

can’t believe i’m posting this. don’t read the tags if you don’t want to make this face -> 😧

[widowshill]

frankly I’m at my limit. if you don’t enjoy r/v, if you think roger is exclusively into men, I don’t know why you are following this blog in the first place because I could not be louder about what I like to post about and what my headcanons are and what ships I enjoy. please JUST unfollow me because I’m at the point where I’m going to just start blocking people over these snide comments and backhanded compliments. I’ve been reluctant to do so because there are like twelve whole people in this fandom on this site but I don’t care anymore, if I’m left with a three person fandom that’s more than enough.

i am guilty of retweeting one or two emma d’arcy thirst traps & the rare bran stark fancam and that’s it! can i be blamed for being gay or susceptible to sad songs & neat transitions!!

[godblooded]
