#some kind of curse

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:
You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.
You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.
You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.
You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.
You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.
You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.
You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.
#pjo#hoo#heroes of olympus#percy jackson#riordanverse#jason grace#annabeth chase#piper mclean#leo valdez#hazel levesque#frank zhang#meta#analysis#me shaking hoo: what if we actually address the interpersonal dynamics of the characters. please. please. please. please.#frank is the only person on the boat not having an identity crisis tied to another member of the crew somehow and that is FASCINATING#but also WHERE is all the interpersonal literally anything. hello. please. making grabby hands. everybody identity crisis go.#i wanna see the entire argo ii crew stumbling through trying to figure out their places and senses of self!!!!!#particularly in relation to each other!!!!! we get snippets but we rarely ever get the full thing or a resolution!!!#like. HELLO??? Piper acknowledging that her relationship with Jason is artificially sculpted in the image of Annabeth and Percy???#and that her ideals of what Jason and her can be are just that she feels like they need to be like what Percy and Annabeth have????#and thats just DROPPED COMPLETELY????#poor Jason is getting replaced twice. Leo is not his own person.#Hazel at least gets the resolution that Nico does not truly see her as a consolation prize#but Annabeth gets to be hit with the like EIGHT YEAR DELAY of learning the place she inhabits in Thalia's life is the echo of someone else#cause like. yeah she knew Thalia had lost her brother but i dont think it clicked for her until she met Jason that oh. she *replaced* him#Frank at least has some certainty about his identity in one aspect (his curse). everybody else is floundering a bit#except for maybe Percy but its kind of the camps of ''i replaced this person and it weighs on me'' versus ''i have been replaced''

I know everyone likes to concept of IWTV vamps losing their ability to make good art when they become vampires but, I actually like the idea that sometimes people/vampires just aren't that talented lmaoooo. But immortal vampires have the money and the time to pursue artistic hobbies, plus the desire to reconnect with humanity, so they do so anyway despite a lack of talent.
Like Marius for example is exactly the type of asshole who would be only a semi-decent painter, but use his money and power and influence to insert himself into the art world like he belonged there.
And if Armand is to be believed, Lestat wasnt a bad actor at all.
Like sorry bout it but maybe Louis just isnt a great photographer! And the reason it stings so much is because filthy sack-of-blood humans would dare tell a vampire "maybe you're just not cut out for this."
We know vampires are only supposed to turn only the most attractive humans. Who is more unearnedly confident in their artistic abilities than hot people?
#I just think it would be funny if certain vampires were like 'yes well... it's the curse of our kind to lose the ability to make art.'#only to find out some vampires are extremely talented! its just a personal flaw that they themselves suck!#iwtv

I just love that according to the comics, Oliver gets so frequently stranded to places without shelter that he has learned to build one and has a trick arrow with a whole capsule house in it. I'm just wondering how this keeps happening to him. Like the rest of the family is one day like hey by the way, has any one of you seen Oliver? And Mia is like oh yeah he said that he was going fishing like....a few days ago. Oh fuck.
They end up tracking him down to some random remote island in the middle of nowhere and are like how did this happen? You took your little boat and went just a little bit off the shore! How did you get here? And Oliver is like ah you see, while I was fishing I saw some really suspicious looking guys on their boat and I followed them and figured that they were weapon smugglers so I took them out and made it to their ship and infiltrated it but the ship ended up exploding and I ended up floating around a bit before I managed to make up a raft from the debris and my grappling arrows and I used it to make my way here. Sorry I didn't call, I dropped my phone into the ocean at some point.
And his kids are just standing there like we really can't let you do anything by yourself huh.
#roy mia and connor: don't make unnecessary journeys! don't take risks on treacherous roads! and don't swim in the sea!#did he get some kind of curse from the first island or what is going on#dc#dcu#oliver queen#green arrow#arrowfam

The origin of heavenly demons is so interesting. A god cast down from the heavens marked with a mark of sin on their forehead that follows their bloodline. No matter how diluted their genes are they still have that mark. They're not human, they're not entirely demonic either. Their blood has been cursed, but that curse is also their power. It causes them to have an incredible bloodlust once their lost in their instincts. They can control their blood even outside of their body. They have incredible regeneration, they can regrow limbs if need be. They're feared by both demons and humans.
I wonder what the story of the first heavenly demon is. I personally think that to be cursed to this extent they were probably a very important god. My hc is that it was a Heavenly Emperor gone astray. I also like to think Binghe's his reincarnation
#imagine binghe and xie lian meet in some kind of crossover and they're 'bearing a mark of curse given by the heavens' bros#anqels ramblings#eva.txt#svsss#luo binghe#tianlang jun#zhuzhi lang

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:
“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”
#pr manager is like: andrew… this is the last time i’m gonna tell you#andrew: whats the point of democracy if i can’t exercise freedom of speech#pr manager: andrew it’s no longer about your image#at this point we are concerned the fbi is going to show up#andrew: neil has connections. i’m fine#they thought marketing andrew on social media would be good#they were sooooo wrong#because now andrew has a place to share every insane thing he’s ever thought#for instance—a tweet that just says ‘an alien googling: human clothes’#he’s on there advocating for lgbtq+ youth you KNOW HE IS#he’s cursing and mildly threatening members of congress for imposing these disgusting bills#one day he tweeted ‘does mitch mcconnell know he’s dead yet’#when mitch mcconnell stepped down from senate andrew tweeted ‘hopefully next he steps down from life’#unsurprisingly: this endears him to some people and makes others fucking hate him#and he’s such a shit. he does not care either way#he’s kind of just like: pr manager. you gave me a twitter and told me to tweet. i’m just doing what you asked me#they’ve threatened to change his password so many times#they actually did once but andrew reported the account so many times for defamation and fraud that it got suspended#and he made a new account out of pure spite#his pr manager is like: andrew nobody is going to want to sign you because of your public image#and andrew is like: ?? ok. they can lose every game then#(he knows he’s the best goalie)#ok i think that’s enough for now. however i will probably be back#andrew minyard#aftg#tfc#trk#tkm#the foxhole court#all for the game

this will never not be hilarious to me
#silver can never realise he likes a man like a normal gay person#he'll sooner interpret the unnamable feeling as god-fearing reverence for some kind of cursed sea creature capable of manifesting his doom#this is why annevbonny eel post is the silverflint post of all time to me#silverflint#black sails#john silver#james flint

KEEP THE DANGER OUT // KEEP THE DANGER IN
#billie bust up#bbu billie#bbu fantoccio#robin’s art#2024 art#COMPANION PIECES BABY!!! started these last year (month) and finally finished em!!! :33#i could write an ENTIRE essay abt billie and fanto and their parallels and stuff#which actually i love tumblr tags. lets do some of that here!#okAY IM NOT GONNA GO INTO EVERYTHING BUT HERES A BASIC RUNDOWN OF SOME OF MY THOUGHTS#let’s start by looking at goatshire + the lost city of magic !!#both places have some kind of border around them keeping SOMETHING in/out#goatshire’s wall keeping the trolls/other danger out; keeping the villagers inside safe#and the city’s barrier keeping the curse inside; while keeping everyone outside safe from it#but in turn it’s also keeping billie and fanto trapped in their respective places#one moreso than the other i guess but ahahaha. haha. heh. OKAY MOVING FORTH#unrelated but how sick would it be if the barrier broke and let the curse out. just sayiiin.. a lil theory thats been on my mind recently#anyways back to THE POINT#okay this parts gonna sound insane BUT JUST HEAR ME OUT HERE#goatshire citizens / the cursed city citizens.#billie and fanto both kinda stick out in their respecitve homes; fanto being the only uncursed guy and billie with their magic#so theres like. a real disconnect between them and others there. u get what i mean.#theyre both outliers and like something something allegory for neurodivergence and struggling to connect with others probably#SORRY GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. idk how to explain it BUT DO U GET IT!!! DO U UNDERSTAND!!!!#also they were both abandoned by SOMEone stares at arthur#okay specifically whoever fanto’s cretaor was left him behind but u know me im such a fanto elmtwig jak#something something loneliness and being left behind and having ppl around you who kinds understand u but also not totally. kicks rock#someone get these siblings some THERAPY!!!!!!!#this was a very disjointed explanation bUT HOPEFULLY I GOT MOST OF MY THOUGHTS ACROSS GOOD. IM BAD AT EXPLAINING THINGS SORRY#someone order me a yappuccino!!!!! BYE!!!!

(it probably wasn't actually Idia's fault)
(or was it)
some quick initial reactions to celebrate Diasomnia Day One! it felt like a bit of a short intro, but oh, what a tasting menu of things to come.
#art#long post#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#it's been thirty seconds and already#lilia is sending himself to a farm upstate where he'll have lots of rabbits to chase#malleus does a whole flashback to his most embarrassing childhood memory#ponytail lilia CONFIRMED we have a CONFIRMED SIGHTING everybody#idia does a surprisingly good crowley impression. this is not important to the plot but it's important to me personally.#also silver is probably a cursed prince or something WHO CARES look at these COOL ACORNS#the mental image of silver and lilia having that little heart-to-heart about the ring#while sebek is five feet away sorting laundry#absolutely incredible#meanwhile yuu continues to just have no survival instinct whatsoever#if a horned man approaches you at midnight and goes 'wouldn't it be nice if we never had to say goodbye to anyone ever?' DO NOT SAY YES#also if he starts bragging to you about his sorcerer ancestress DO NOT be like 'yeah but...did she maybe kind of suck'#'was she just super unlikeable personally speaking'#we are so lucky that for some reason malleus is really into all of our weird bullshit#okay shutting up now i promise#i just have so much to say and so few tags to do it in

last minute demise winner’s prize prediction: demise winner gets to force everyone to do a minigame of their choice now. the gaming will continue. they demand it.
#hermitcraft#this is only a semi-serious guess#my favorite theories I’ve seen are ‘some kind of shopping district first dibs’#or ‘only guy exempt from some curse all the remaining reapers/losers get’#I really DONT think it’s a trial chamber those just aren’t ready yet

i wanted to make popoi a pokemon . whats one more haunted toy for the pokemon franchise am i right
they dont have names cuz im really not good at making those... i just made these for fun
bonus shiny forms. i based it off this one really weird looking scan of evil popoi i see sometimes that blows up the saturation of the colors really weirdly so his outline looks super blue instead of the usual purple. i misremembered the eyes from that scan also looking green-ish, but i looked again after i drew this and that was wrong. oh well i think he looks cute with them
#moonsideart#these like arent cleaned up at all and i drew them in like half an hour but i dont care theyre going in the main art tag#popoi#puyo puyo#pokemon#fakemon#??? i guess#I KNOW YHR ALT TEXT IS REALLY LONG IS IT TOO MUCH#I JUST KIND OF PACKED A LOT OF TEXT INTO ONE FRAME#2024#i ended up incorporating some of my headcanons about him into this#i was like halfway through writing the dex entries before i realized him being cursed to live in a doll isnt like explicitly canon#and if anything is only like. incredibly loosely implied. Kind Of#look i just think if he was in basically the same situation as aya but was living his best life about it anyway i think itd be funny

i can’t stop thinking about how well bolas rojas has adapted to the conditions of purgatory. they embrace whatever suffering and lack of materials they have, they cheer for certain disasters (mainly the fog), they further embrace their insanity, laugh at their lack of mental wellbeing, they physically fight each other and die for fun. they invite the poor conditions like they weren’t missing luxuries like op backpacks and castles a few days ago. they truly embody the hellscape they’re trapped in because they were so utterly stomped to the ground from the start that they have embraced the mud as their new home.
so actually to correct my first point of this post, they haven’t adapted to the conditions of purgatory, they were reborn, created and molded from the flames of it.
#qsmp#qsmp purgatory#bolas rojas#qsmp bolas#qsmp bolas rojas#qsmp red team#correct me if i’m wrong because i mainly just watch red’s pov but#green and blue could exist without the purgatory they could exist on quesadilla#but red couldn’t#they are so tied to the purgatory that in no other conditions could a team like this be created#i kind of hope they are the cursed team because think about how poetic it’d be that the one team fully adapting to this hellscape#completely molded by it#is the one to win it all?#this post is just me spitting out some of my bolas rojas brainrot#that’s all really#going back to being so sick that i can only be awake during qsmp streams god bless#shey rambles

Welcome to Coffin city. What could possibly go wrong here?
[First] Prev <--> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan jingyi#lan sizhui#jin ling#Uploading this comic (57_ep10) has been a *long* series of unfortunate events.#which is so perfect for the fact we are officially in Yi-City now. Of course there's gotta be some kind of curse.........#It is through perseverance & physical pain this *finally* gets uploaded. Several hours late. hhhhhhh.#Enough behind the scenes talk. Its time to talk about LWJ losing to teens#There is nothing truly more romantic than walking through a foggy abandoned town. “oh we gotta stick together the visibility is soooo bad.”#“I guess we gotta hold hands. For safety. And warmth.”#and there's nothing less romantic that being chaperoned by teens. You tried so hard hanguang jun.#I'm excited to have the juniors back in the story. If only they had waited 10 more min to have a crisis
