[stillasvnbeam]

ive read more books this year than i think i have in the past 10

[thaliasthunder]

yep, that's my percy jackson

[hamiltonandpercyjackson]

the opposite parallels between percy and jason in tlh and son make me wonder if rick is TRYING to kill me

-jason wakes up with 3 people ready to protect him and be his friend, percy wakes up immediately having to defend himself from wolves and monsters

-jason was escorted to camp safely, percy had to fight for his LIFE to get to camp jupiter with no guidance

-jason was immediately welcomed to camp, being given a place to stay and a tour to meet everyone, percy was ostracised and demeaned, being left to the least respected cabin

Percy Jackson as a child with ADHD (as portrayed in the new live action series)

For me, as someone who grew up with ADHD myself, pjo is super important. Rick Riordan manages to show the problems that neurodivergent people run into again and again. So, here’s some things from the Disney+ series that stood out.

1. School

Anyone who knows PJO also knows about the fact that Percy has gotten kicked from… A LOT of schools. Now, while a lot of people joke about it, Percy’s school experience is SO important.

Yes, Mrs. Dodds wasn’t your average teacher, but in my honest to gods opinion… the school system is fucked, especially when we’re talking about neurodivergent children and how they’re treated.

I can promise you I have had this conversation a lot. Obviously Percy had too. There’s not much to say about this, besides the fact that Percy was rightfully upset. Imagine getting told you’re ’special’ and ‘different’ over and over again. It’s not as comforting as it might have been intended to be.

2. Feeling Weird/Not Fitting In

People with ADHD are often seen as weird, sometimes not even human. Hell, I know how my classmates thought about me or other children with ADHD. We were weird, we didn’t fit in and we accepted that. I swear, the day ND people are treated normally is the day hell freezes over (and just not the ninth circle…)

3. Camp Half-Blood

I have talked about camp feeling a lot like special education before, but I’ll keep saying it. Sure, it’s not all great, but the relief of being surrounded by people with similar struggles to your own… it’s godly.

I remember when I was about Percy’s age, maybe younger, I was THAT kid too. Back then I wasn’t diagnosed (0/10 wouldn’t recommend) but I got along with other nd kids, because we understood eachother. Sure, we could clash sometimes, but there were also other times where we would get along because of those similarities that we shared. That weirdness that we had and other’s didn’t.

… idk how to end this so… thank u for listening to my ted talk 🪦

Hi! :3

Ammm… can we call the attention to something that's quite… worrisome for me?

I know (really, I know) it's a common problem between fanfic fans to find good fanfic sometimes, and also it's also a problem to find fanfics in their original language…

What I am trying to say is: I would like not to lean sm in my second language to enjoy my fave hobby.

It's no really a complaint, I owe my life to fanfic writers for give me the motivation for learning languages, but reading in my mother tongue would be nice sometimes..

In the niche of some of my fandoms, there is a (T.T sorrowful) lack of fanfic in Spanish (my language).

Just for context:

(The starting number is the total of fanfic of the fandom, the % at the end represent the % in my language :S)

509,105 Works in Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling. En español: 10,936 (2.14%)

7,743 Works in DuckTales (Cartoon 2017) En español: 109 (1.4%)

322,437 Works in 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga) En español: 5,951 (1.84%)

19,799 Works in Danny Phantom. En español: 133 (0.67%)

36,470 Works in Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan. En español: 609 (1.66%)

123,533 Works in Naruto (Anime & Manga) En español: 4,037 (3.26%)

 263,279 Works in Star Wars - All Media Types En español: 1,134 (0.43%)

670,373 Works in K-pop En español: 9,632 (1.43%)

In some fandom… we don't even reach the 1% T.T

I would like to help with this problem in the measure i can. So… I created a community for fanfic writers in español! :D The link it's in my profile :S

I have to say… I.. I'm not a great writer, but… I like to promote the creation of fanfics in everyway i can.

Anyway, enough rambling, thank u sm for your posts :D they are fun and sometime also informative xD and weird (in a very good way) :3

Byeee <3

Good points!

Best of luck in your endeavors!

Go check em out folks!

Extremely random question but I love to ask librarians this: what have u read recently that’s stuck out? Do u have any book recs for 2023?

And I, a librarian, love being asked this!! Here are my favorite books from this year:

Little Thieves by Margaret Owen - actually picked this one up because of an excellent rec post here on tumblr. It’s loosely based on The Goose Girl fairy tale so I pitch it as “it’s a beautiful day in fantasy Germany and you are a horrible goose girl.” The sequel also came out this year and is every bit as good.

When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb - This one was actually my pick for Best Book of My Year at work. It’s incredible. An angel and a demon who are study partners leave their shtetl to go find a local girl who immigrated to America and hasn’t been heard from since. It’s gorgeous.

Ask a Historian by Greg Jenner - I love Greg Jenner and his podcast You’re Dead to Me and I listened to the audiobook of this one, which was wonderful.

If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio - the very very rare internet darling that I felt lived up to the hype. Insufferable theatre students at conservatory do a murder. Lots of Shakespeare.

The Chalice of the Gods by Rick Riordan - Not only did he write a new Percy book, but it had the audacity to be good???

A Lady’s Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin - One of the best romance novels I read this year. I haven’t swooned that hard over a heterosexual pairing in a traditionally published book since I don’t know how long.

A Rome of One’s Own by Emma Southon - a history of Rome in 21 women. I love Emma Southon—she’s funny and rigorous and so insightful. And she makes me care about the Romans, who I generally hate.

The Secret Service of Tea and Treason by India Holton - I love the entire Dangerous Damsels series and this one was no exception. The balance of humor and deep emotion is my favorite thing about these books.

These are just the highlights of a long list—I also read a lot of children’s lit for work, lots more nonfiction, and things like scriptural commentary and saints’ biographies. Thank you for this question!

I just want to say that this fic singlehandedly made my day a whole lot better. CAFFEINATEDFLUMADIDDLE YOU'RE MY HERO, THE LEGEND EVER!!! thank u so much for sharing & creating stories!!! <33

[vxyselectric]

OMG HI I saw u write for tkc I was wo define if you could write an Amos x Sett fic ir HCS or just some HCS for Amos if youre not comfy with the ship!

Thank you in advance!!!!

Amos Kane HCs (T.K.C)

I haven't read the books in a while so I don't feel uncomfortable with the ship I just feel like I wouldn't portray the characters correctly! Once I reread the series I'll definitely post smth on them, I've been planning on doing that for a while anyways!

I remember Amos more than Sett, so here are some hcs for him! (Also read some of his wiki so I'd get facts & names right)

I feel like he would definitely be a regular at the local library, so much to the point where the librarians know him by name and he knows them by name (if he likes them he brings them their favorite coffee/snack when he comes in)

He definitely knows how to cook, and when he cooks he cooks for an army. Amos definitely is in the kitchen during family gatherings.

I'd like to think he is the type of person who shows he cares through gifts. Since he's gotten close to Carter and Sadie again, whenever he goes on trips he brings them both back something he thinks they'd like.

He's definitely brought back Sadie a tiara when they first started getting close again because he remembers when she was younger she always wanted a tiara. (She didn't want it but Carter gave her a look and she put it on)

I feel like he visits the Brooklyn house a lot, whether it be to help out the kids or to just relive some fond memories from his past.

Even if he became the most powerful magician Amos would be pretty chill about it, never flaunting his status and showing up at random events where people wouldn't expect him to be.

I think he wouldn't listen to music much, but when he did it would be jazz or blues. I think he enjoys the music from it mostly, but if the lyrics are relatable he'll learn them within 2 listens of the song and sing along.

Amos would love to start gardening but unfortunately while he is great in the kitchen he is terrible in the garden. I feel like he would have had a plant in the Brooklyn house and he didn't know what he was doing wrong then Sadie came around and was like 'that plant is long gone dude' and he's just sigh and get rid of it.

He's definitely bi, I feel like he would've experimented a bit and was like 'Yeah, makes sense' and moved on.

I feel like he would be affiliated with Chiron from the Greek side of Rick Riordan's books, they may send like letters to each other to let them know if the world is ending in their side of things.

Since he knows there Olympus is located in Manhattan I feel like he would avoid Manhattan when he was doing things related to his gods out of respect for the Greek gods.

I love making hcs and I hope these made sense with my terrible memory! Again sorry I couldn't write a fic/hcs on the ship but after I finish rereading Michael Vey I'll look into rereading TKC and get started on that (I have a list and your req is on the top!! :D) - Vey
