BACK AT MY PJO X PRSK AU BULLSHIT

by the way, i am starting to have troubles coming up with powers, haha...

i did call backup in the form of my friend that used to be as big of a pjo nerd as me, but he hasnt come up with anything yet, so if you wish to help, you can ask me about a character in my askbox (that is always open) and i'll tell you who said character has as their godparent

LESS GO GUYS

More More Jump (1/2)

i decided to split every group into pairs like that because it's easier for when i dont have ideas 💪

today's sillies: MINORI AND AIRI

(they may both be children of minor goddesses, but trust me it works so fucking perfect)

Airi got the same treatment as Tsukasa and MMJ also got split 3v1, but unlike him, she knew that at least Shizuku had something going on, because they both saw things they weren't supoosed to and Shizuku told her about Camp Jupiter and tried to invite her, while she's like "there's a second one"

You get the thing, they know

I personally like to think she's seen shit before she actually got attacked for the first time, but she had to run with it

Hebe is the Greek goddess of youth and we (the 4 people that worked on the original list), thought that she'd be perfect for her, because of Airi's repeated theme of youth in her stories and comms <3

Airi passively has the ability to age slower, so at the prime of her life, she will naturally retain beauty for a prolonged period of time. She's also slightly more resilient to wounds: bleeds out less, doesn't get bruises and marks easily etc.

An active ability of hers is reversing wounds, without any training she can easily get rid of minor scratches - personally called it an ability similar to Rapunzel's hair, just without the hair and singing part

Imagine her being Happy Everyday and booping a kid's scraped knee,,,,,,,, and the injury goes away like magic,,,,, ,, *fucking cries*

As for Minori - she's a kid of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck

Which she found incredibly out of place when she got claimed at Camp Jupiter, because she "keeps failing" (girlflopping) and generally being unlucky, but that was simply her own fault (unknowingly)

Her power is giving other's her luck, but it's at her own expense - she's so kindhearted towards others, she wishes everyone all good and suffers from it afterwards

You know all those auditions she "failed", despite being so talented? She wished the girls who were her competitors the best of luck... :')

(minokoha middle school friendship because i forgot how miya's high school uniforms looked like, so i drew the miya middle school ones - dont ask how i know those and not the hs ones)

tumblr has tried to silence me like 3 times by deleting my draft or parts of it, this is literally 1984

its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

The final one appears to have been the author's favorite as he wrote: "I'm particularly proud of this one - It looks so natural. Bless its 'ittle 'eart-"

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

[snarkspawn]

based ofc on this

[thefleshyougoveggie]

honestly i think a lot of people these days and most popular media i encounter (atleast ones that are focused heavily on romance like heartstopper) tend to not truly show and understand the importance of platonic affection and love and i am just so happy that heartstopper does. because we truly need more platonic love in this world, especially portrayed as as important as it is!! bc honestly idk what i would do without my friends and it doesnt matter if i like someone romantically, my friends will always be suuuper important to me

season 1 tao's "once you get into a relationship, friendships don't matter anymore" vs season 2 charlie writing "charlie ♡ tao" on the heart locket + "wait, isn't that for you and nick?" "no."

sorry yeah I'm just lil emotional over the portrayal of platonic love as something that can be just as worthy as romantic love. i'm okay.

Your phineas & ferb + gravity falls art brings back so many nice memories from my childhood, thank you so much for sharing <33

“You listen to Icelandic pop sensation BABBA? I… I love BABBA…”

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

Child's Writing Exercises and Doodles, from Egypt, c. 1000-1200 CE: this was made by a child who was practicing Hebrew, creating doodles and scribbles on the page as they worked

This writing fragment is nearly 1,000 years old, and it was made by a child who lived in Egypt during the Middle Ages. Several letters of the Hebrew alphabet are written on the page, probably as part of a writing exercise, but the child apparently got a little bored/distracted, as they also left a drawing of a camel (or possibly a person), a doodle that resembles a menorah, and an assortment of other scribbles on the page.

This is the work of a Jewish child from Fustat (Old Cairo), and it was preserved in the collection known as the Cairo Genizah Manuscripts. As the University of Cambridge Library explains:

For a thousand years, the Jewish community of Fustat placed their worn-out books and other writings in a storeroom (genizah) of the Ben Ezra Synagogue ... According to rabbinic law, once a holy book can no longer be used (because it is too old, or because its text is no longer relevant) it cannot be destroyed or casually discarded: texts containing the name of God should be buried or, if burial is not possible, placed in a genizah.

At least from the early 11th century, the Jews of Fustat ... reverently placed their old texts in the Genizah. Remarkably, however, they placed not only the expected religious works, such as Bibles, prayer books and compendia of Jewish law, but also what we would regard as secular works and everyday documents: shopping lists, marriage contracts, divorce deeds, pages from Arabic fables, works of Sufi and Shi'ite philosophy, medical books, magical amulets, business letters and accounts, and hundreds of letters: examples of practically every kind of written text produced by the Jewish communities of the Near East can now be found in the Genizah Collection, and it presents an unparalleled insight into the medieval Jewish world.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.

well.

today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)

jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.

and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.

this is a children's game for children btw.

none of the money is real.

i'm having such a good time.

You folks know that there is nothing inherently dangerous about penises, right? They don't emit radiation or anything. You will not be harmed by being in the same room as a penis.
