Bones someone did a "Worst Parents" poll over on Twitter and it's going about as well as you'd expect.
"God people will do anything to hate on mentally ill male characters" and it's the guy who hits and yells at his son.
"Crowfeather's only crime was being a bit mean" hitting and humiliating your son= bit mean.
Yes these are things I've actually read
I'm not saying Curlfeather (who was pitted against him in the poll) is better or worse than Crowfeather, but I've seen a lot of people downplaying his abuse towards Breezepaw and acting like people are crazy for thinking Curlfeather was better
It's really wild to see it in action, isn't it? When a dad manipulates (Po3 book 2) and smacks his son (Po3 book 3) for absolutely no benefit besides his own ego, it's "mental illness" and ergo not a big deal. As if they think mental illness is a get-out-of-jail free card for child abuse.
The "Crowfeather Mental Illness" Crowd couldn't HANDLE the kind of mentally ill characters that I stan. They are weak and will not survive the winter.
When they say "stop being mean to boys with a disorder" they mean "stop holding an abusive father accountable for teaching his son slurs so he could get back at the ex-girlfriend who dumped him." When I say "stop being mean to boys with a disorder" I mean that I want to give Breezepelt a gun so he can enforce it himself. We are not the same.

Anyways crack AU where Ras finds the Teapot of Tyrahn (he just does don't question how, he's him) and he's trying to use Nadakhan to his advantage, but this motherfucker keeps trying to manipulate Ras.
Ras luckily has Extreme mental fortitude and is hyper-focused on his master's plans... but now he also has an annoying Djinn constantly trying to manipulate (and fuck???) him. (Ras is not clear on that one but the constant lack of personal space + Nadakhan's seductive tone and silky voice make him almost certain of it.)
Ras can't just Wish for anything either, he knows Nadakhan is a deceptive asshole, so he's really only keeping Nadakhan around to trick others into wishing for shit and getting trapped. Both Cinder and Jordana have one wish left and Ras forbids them from being within 90 feet of the Teapot.

I've seen a few ppl talk about this but I'd also like to!!! so!!!!
Jason and Annabeth would've made better "rivals" out of the seven than Percy and Jason.
if it is absolutely necessary to have a set of rivals in the seven, which it really isn't, it would've made more sense for Jason and Annabeth.
okay, I know Jason and Percy are children of the big three, Zeus and Poseidon, who don't really get along, but why does that mean Percy and Jason can't? if they'd had more time and weren't basically brainwashed into disliking each other, I think they'd have become really close friends.
Percy's humour evens out Jason's lack thereof (though he definitely does have a sense of humour in there somewhere, he was just never given the chance to find it), and as we saw a few times, they were really powerful when they fought together. Jason is logical and cautious, Percy is impulsive and quick. they even each other out. if anything, they should've been closer friends than any of the seven.
ok, back to the rivalry. so, it's said multiple times during MoA that Annabeth never really trusted Jason. she thought (correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I read the books) Jason was too controlled and quiet.
also, Jason and Annabeth probably have more in common than any other duo from the seven, and that's not even their physical descriptions.
they're both smart and logical, preferring to think things through properly before making decisions, and they both use this during battle, for example.
Annabeth never really trusting Jason could've also added to their rivalry; it would've made her more apprehensive of everything he said, right? so, just imagine the seven getting into a rough situation and needing somebody with brains to figure it out. of course, we have Annabeth, daughter of Athena, who's known for being smart; but you also have Jason, son of Jupiter, who is cautious, careful, and logical. imagine they come to different conclusions, and argue about which is right.
their rivalry would've been so cool! two super smart people getting different answers for the same situation, both seemingly right, but who's do the seven follow through with? the natural choice would be Annabeth, who is, again, a daughter of Athena, who is the goddess of wisdom. it could've added to the story; having Leo and Piper side with Jason's answer, for example, and having Frank, Hazel, and Percy side with Annabeth.
but with Percy and Jason's so-called "rivalry," that really made no sense because they hardly knew each other, it's just two awkward and powerful 16 year olds, whose dislike for each other stems from their godly parents not getting along. it makes no sense. especially because Percy isn't the type of person to judge people based on their godly parents, so why would he have a pointless rivalry with someone just because his dad and their dad aren't exactly best friends? it doesn't seem like a very Percy Jackson thing to do, in my opinion.
so yeah. I think it would've made more sense to put a rivalry between two characters who have more in common, over two people who literally met yesterday and don't know anything about each other (except, of course, Jason hearing about the 'all-powerful Percy Jackson' stuff from CHB). I really do think that a rivalry in general wasn't necessary, and it didn't really add anything solid to the plot or storyline.

i just hope that one day venezuela as beautiful as it is be free for once and for all from their shit dictator. from such a rich and vast country to the death hole it became due to horrible administration and poisoned ambition. i see families escaping their home and their roots all for survival, watching them begging in the streets for a single piece of bread breaks my heart. i just hope, as a latin american, there will be a conversation held and more people know about the atrocities the venezuelans are going through.
as of now, the remaining venezuelans are protesting for a transparent and just election. there have been two dead and more than 40 people detained, police brutality is at an all-time high right now. 7 representatives of latin american countries have to pull out the country, and the the ministry of transportation has declared that no air transport to the Dominican Republic and Panamá will be made until further notice, further encapsulating the population so that they can leave the borders though this mean of transportation.
they claim that there will be no power to the right wing political party, however it is not about 'right or left' it is about the good and prosperity of the people and the territory one has the power to administer as their sovereign.

The Rings of Power S2 Premier Week!
*IMPORTANT*
°❀⋆ཐིཋྀ.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆ཐིཋྀ.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆ཐིཋྀ.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆ཐིཋྀ.ೃ࿔*:・°❀⋆ཐིཋྀ.ೃ࿔*:・
Okay guys we're almost there! I wanted to make a definitive post about S2 how I'll tag and interact etc
I will use the spoiler tag #tropspoilers from the date of the premiere 29th August (from approx 9am BST when I will have finished the episode) and for a FULL WEEK after as we are getting a 3 episode drop that day
I will NOT use the tag #theringsofpower for that week for any posts I make or any reblogs nor will I tag any characters I will only use the #tropspoilers tag for that week
For each new episode that releases I will be be watching on the Friday and be using the #tropspoilers tag for the entire weekend of that new episode.
When a new week starts I wil go back to using my regular tags ie character name, episode etc
The first week is the one I'm most harsh on since 3 episodes is an overwhelming amount and I don't want to spoil all 3 at once!
I will be making gifs from every episode and use the #tropspoilers tag for the durations stated above. I will also use the #(episode title) for season 2 and #(character name) after the weekend
Remember the first week though and weekends I will ONLY use the #tropspoilers tag even for my edits
Please be sure to mute #tropspoilers if you don't want to see any spoilers
Also please feel free to scream at me in dm or replies to posts and I will do my best to scream with you when I've caught up with the episodes!
Love you guys!
