reminder that the only reason the "ADHD is actually demigod BATTLE STRATEGIES" and "dyslexia is DEMIGOD BRAINS HARDWIRED FOR ANCIENT GREEK" things exist in the PJO universe is because it's a very direct reference to early 2000s teaching/parenting techniques for neurodiverse and disabled children, which aimed to frame childrens' disabilities and hardships as a "superpower" or strength so that the children would feel more positively about their disabilities or situations. This technique has fallen out of favor since then for the most part since more often than not it just results in kids feeling as though their struggles are not being seen or taken seriously.
Yes, demigods are adhd/dyslexic (and sometimes autistic-coded) in the series. This is extremely important and trying to remove it or not acknowledge it makes the entire series fall apart because it is such a core concept. Yes, canon claims that their adhd/dyslexia is tied to some innate abilities, which is based on an outdated methodology. It's important to acknowledge that and understand where it comes from! But please stop trying to apply it to other pantheons in the series like "oh, the romans have dyscalculia because of roman numerals!" or "the norse demigods have dysgraphia for reasons!" - it's distasteful at best.
A better option is to acknowledge the meta inspiration for why that exists in the series, such as explaining potentially that Chiron was utilizing that same teaching methodology to try and help demigods feel more comfortable with their disabilities and they aren't literal powers. In fact, especially given Frank, there's implication that being adhd/dyslexic isn't a guaranteed demigod trait, which means it's more likely to be normally inherited from their godly parent/divine ancestor as a general trait, not a power, and further supports the whole "ADHD is battle strategy" thing being non-literal. It also implies the entire greco-roman pantheon in their universe is canonically adhd/dyslexic - and that actually fits very well with the themes of the first series. The entire central conflict of the first series fits perfectly as an allegory about neurodiverse/disabled children and their relationships with their undiagnosed neurodiverse/disabled parents and trying to find solutions together with their shared disability/disabilities that the kid inherited instead of becoming distant from each other (and this makes claiming equivalent to getting a diagnosis which is a fascinating allegory! not to mention the symbolism of demigods inheriting legacies and legends and powers from their parents and everything that comes with that being equivalent to inheriting traits, neurodiversity, and disabilities from your parents).
anyways neurodiversity and disability and the contexts in which the series utilizes representation of those experiences particularly during the 2000s symbolically within the narrative is incredibly important to the first series and the understanding of what themes it means to represent. also if i see one more "the romans have dyscalculia instead of dyslexia" post in 2023 i'm gonna walk into the ocean.
#pjo#riordanverse#percy jackson#analysis#meta#adhd#dyslexia#also this symbolism recontextualizes the relationship between demigods and their godly parents so much#particularly Percy and Poseidon and the whole ''I'm sorry you were born thing'' like DAMN that's an ENTIRE DIFFERENT IMPLICATION#honestly in general the first series' meta analogy of being a demigod as symbolism for being neurodiverse/disabled ROCKS SO HARD#that's SO COOL and im SO SAD NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT IT#i could write a whole essay on that alone like COME ON GUYS#can we PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE COOL DISABILITY METAPHORS....#anyways i didnt proofread this cause. re: dyslexia so if it doesnt make sense dont worry about it#i can try to explain further in supplementary posts if people so wish

Do you ever wonder if Wei Wuxian sometimes thinks about the fact he lost everything from his parents? Before he at least had his body, he looked here and there and imagined that his eyes came from his mother and his nose came from his dad and that his lips were probably shaped after his grandparents.
Now, he looks at the mirror and his eyes, his nose and his lips are from someone else's lineage. They are his but not his and never his parents'. Before, his memories were failing but at least he had his body to remind him that they were real and that they were kind and that even though they weren't there he was and he was made of them but now he has neither.
So, do you ever wonder about it? Because I do.

My favourite part of shipping one piece characters is that i can ship as many ships as i want all at the same time because there's no way any of those silly pirates stick to monogamy
#one piece#mostly talking about law's harem#(not including lawlu)#perolaw#acelaw#sabolaw#kidlaw#bepolaw#dont get me started with the implications of cross guild and shanks#on the surface it looks like a love square but as soon as you look closer into each individual member it starts looking like a ship map#then we have sanji's questionable chemistry with every man he talks to#have mercy on them 😭

to me macden is not quite a fell first vs fell harder situation its more like dennis fell first then mac fell harder then dennis fell harder again then mac fell for dennis' gay alter ego who was actually just dennis manipulating mac into staying in love with him thus creating an endless toxic yaoi loop and god fucking knows whats going to happen in season 17
#need to study them under a microscope#theyre so strange they cant Be normal#and i dont even like fvr that much as an episode#but i do think we should talk more about the implications#of mac moving on and dennis immediately grabbing onto him and reeling him back in#says more about dennis than it does about mac and i think its really interesting#how he disguised it as being about hate when it is so staggeringly obviously about how badly he needs mac#or more so needs to be needed by mac#its just a whole thing really#anyways#macden#macdennis#mac mcdonald#dennis reynolds#iasip#brandy.txt

This had been irking me so i have to say it. I know Hellsing is a horror media with a LOT of flashy action scene, however, it is unjust to see it as solely gore and fights. I've seen complaints about how adding a "romance" in will reduce the quality of the story as an "action horror". (specifically speaking is between Alucard and Integra because of course in the end of the day this is just ship war, not a serious discussion whatsoever) I would argue that Hellsing is never ONLY about the actions. Yall might have already noticed how Alucard is too OP, and it was not even because he got any tricks up his sleeves. He is simply invincible, his mechanism is just that hes a "deus ex machina". He did NAWT need to start out with zero and levelling up like your common action anime protagonist. It's not a first time a central character is overpowered in an unreasonable way. A way you could interpret this trope is that it was not about battles, not the physcial one, but the development in their characteristic, their thoughts and emotions and ideology all that stuffs. A classic example is Sir Gawain and The Green Knight (TGK), where all of their (physical) battles are nonsense and did not mean anything in terms of combat, they dont even fight each other, even the climax (the decapitation of TGK) was dismissed into a looney tunes moment. BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE BATTLE NOR PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, it was the internal struggle and maturing in character. THAT is what's happening in Hellsing IF yall look pass the very flashy facade of gore scenes Hirano put up. READ BETWEEN THE LINES, because he's not gonna hand it out to you on a plate. If you want to see how each character developed you have to look closely at their reactions and dialogues, not how they fight.
SO, imo, it's reducing the quality and message of Hellsing to interpret it solely as an action horror media, not the other way around. AND MIND YOU, romance subplot and action horror can coexist. For what does the character fight? A higher ideal? Power? Fun? Love? All that is noteworthy to think about when you engage in a media display many fight scenes. DONT YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THEY FIGHT THAT HARD ???? and in this case it is VERY obvious that Alucard is motivated by Integra. LIKE it cant be more obvious
And I'm so tired of seeing "Alucard only listen to Integra because of the seal and shes a Hellsing". Bestie, he literally ripped Richard's hand off, we dont even know the extent of the seal, like how far? or can it REALLY control Alucard? Besides, if you have read The Dawn you would see what a damn lazy ass Alucard was, Arthur sent him on a mission and he didn't even bother to walk on his own and just sleep safe and sound in his coffin until he felt like waking up??? Compare that to his enthusiasm to beg Integra on four just for her order and even purposefully tick her off by asking about her enthusiasm for war, oh and did we collectively forget this
(This is the Dark Horse eng scan if i remember correctly? i might be mistaken idk)
Sure it could just be a mere parallel, "The woman he personally desired" might only means Mina Harker and not directly Integra herself, I see. But, why bother choosing this parallel, and RIGHT after this panel he went STRAIGHT to Integra to ask for her order.
You know how enthusiastic he is with a fight and everything was already laid before him, worthy enemies and all. Yet he would not act without her words? I did not see him needing permission before ripping Richard's hand off... Also the seal did NAWT ask him to do all this
There are more of his sickening and excessive display of obedience but i don't have time to pull the panels out yet, but we all know its there since Alucard's submissive attitude and Integra's bossy demeanour is one of their most appealing traits, I know, because it is literally one of the BIGGEST selling points and running joke of the fandom, funnyyyy how people always love to call Alucard a sub and use words such as "freaky" and "slutty" to call him as if he didn't reserved this treatment for ONLY Integra. Sure Integra is a demanding boss to even her enemies, and it works like wonder everytime, because she's Integra, she mastered Alucard, others are just piece of cake to her. But that's not the same case with Alucard. Major literally said "She is the only authority Alucard recognizes". And have Alucard extended the phrase "My master" and all the begging and insinuating jokes to anyone else? It's so convenient isnt it, to just take one specific trait of Alucard's personality and make it his entire character without considering to WHO he directed those innuendos to.
Oh and I haven't walk us to the final chapter yet, like the seal did NAWWWWWTTT asked him to call her "Countess" (or Count, depending on the translators) and literally he could accept his death becoming a paradox? Wasn't Alucard had been craving an end for a long while now? Why the need to return just because Integra asked him to??? Be serious for a moment here
Also a personal interpretation of mine that could be a stretch or just pure delulu is that, in the manga AND the anime adaptation, the last word Alucard said after goodbye is "Integra" (In both Japanese and English dub, the word order is exactly the same), not "Master" or "Integra HELLSING". The same goes when he addressed how he can kill without remorse but the decision is in her hand, he also said "I am a monster, now regarding you, Integra". To me that is an indicator for how he CARED for her not just because she's a Hellsing or his master but she's Integra, from the first of their meeting it was very clear, that Alucard wounded A HELLSING to protect Integra.
So... even non-romantically, you cannot deny that Alucard voluntarily worked for Integra. They DO care about each other a lot, even platonically, their bond is almost like soulmates with how well they trust and understand each other. I just don't like it when people keep side-stepping the depth of their relationship just because you don't like to ship them romantically. These are the canon informations you can't just seriously unironically say that there was nothing there.
And oh don't even get me started on the "But he is a vampire, the enemy of her family and he hates Hellsing because of Abraham something something stockholm syndrome something she's ace coded she's lesbian coded she swore to be a virgin until death she wouldnt throw it away for the enemy of her family etcera etcera" you're saying it as if ace people aren't allowed to date or have sex and you're saying it as if Alucard isn't canonically genderfluid. Why always view the ship as solely heteronormative while they were never conventional to begin with. And MIND YOU, i thought everyone love the enemies to lovers trope?? they were BARELY stockholm syndrome at all did we forget about the Bird of Hermes analogy as a metaphor for loyalty voluntarily given.
If you care so much about "monsters and humans are forbidden" and "they are not canon" maybe treat every ship with the same attitude since MOST of hellsing most popular ships fit into that exact two sentences above, maybe except Pip x Seras is canon, but they're also human x monster, so what now???? Just hate on a ship all you like, I hate ships too and I hate them because I don't like them, that's all, no need to do extra mental gymnastic to prove the ship is "wrong" or their shippers are "wrong".
#rant#talking mostly about alucard x integra#so im gonna tag the ship name in case there are people who dgaf or doesnt want to read about alutegra#alucard x integra#alutegra#giggle a bit whenever ander/card and ser/tegra shippers drag alu/tegra for the reasons that their ships also have#like brostie we should be uniting in delusional not fighting#i dont hate the ship but i dont bother dragging them#are you really sure you wanna come for the ship that contain two of the protagonist trio and had MUCH more interactions than your ship#im not saying more screentime means higher possibility of romance implication#however i would not come for a ship with more official material than mine because it is a losing game#are you really sure you wanna go there#i got so pissed so i wrote this down so fast i didnt even misspelled insinuating and innuendo

Days without thinking so hard about how little we know about who clive actually is: 0
#random stuff#WAGH RAGH !!!!! TEARS UP WALLS IM SO NNORMALLL#like YES HE GETS. SO MUCH SCREENTIMR AND SPOTLIGHT#BUT WE DONT.EVEN KNOW HIM WE DONT EVEN KNOW HIM!!!!!!!!#all we see is clive at his worst#or clive when hes lying#how much of that was the false idea of 'future luke'? how much was really clive?#we only ever get like 3 glimpses of who clive really is. 2 of which are from the credits#the family photos (which i will forever think about every little implication of) & the one of little clive walking with his parents#and spring and cogg's comments on clive if you talk to them post-reveal#MOST OF WHICH. ARE EITHER STAGED (yknow family photo they had to pose for that n such). OR SECONDHAND ACCOUNTS#i do not DOUBT he was certainly as happy as he looked in those photos. but god. thinking about it forever#and ig you can maybe count the end where clive is all like i prommy ill atone for my crimes...#but homeboy is Concussed and Just Destroyed London and Is Going To Jail#i dont think thats entirely representative of what hes like on an average day#and. i guess im more thinking of. we dont even know who clive Was#hes certainly very changed from this experirnce#goddddddd i could ramble forever goddddd

#this game has done irreparable damage to my brain chemistry#it hits. i dont like seeing them get separated like that. its a good ending. i really like the ending. but its still sad. to put it simply.#but i know thats the point. the game knows that too. stares at if we could be friends. we're supposed to be sad abt what could have been.#llike!! i cannot listen to if we could be friends!!! its a problem. i get way to sad abt its implications#i shoudl not be allowed to talk about the implications of if we could be friends. i will never sleep.#lion speaks

Kinda gay to keep a naked man in your greenhouse
#We really don't talk about the implications of the Hatchetfield Ape-Man#like Henry presumably put up some sort of flier advertising for a male actor willing to do full-frontal nudity#and Ted answered the add only to find out that the 'role' was being naked in a greenhouse#and he didn't even have to be naked#Like Henry could've gotten away with saying he introduced the quote-unquote 'ape-man' to pants.#but no#and he gets naked at the end of it so you can tell hes the one who suggested the nudity#like there are so many other ways to fund your musical henry you dont need to keep a naked man in your house to try and woo some rich lady#someone introduce henry to gofundme please#🪓⏰️

hi im very sorry but if possible could you tag that cherokee heritage, etc. post as blood quantum? thank you and i understand if not!
.. it isn't about blood quantum? We never mentioned blood quantum and at least the people I'm mutuals with in that thread do not support blood quantum. 'Please have proof that you have cherokee ancestry before saying you're cherokee' doesn't imply anything about blood quantum and it's not really relevant for cherokee nation at least cuz they don't have a BQ limit anyway.
#im definitely willing to tag things i just... idk#and i dont really like the implication that saying you need genealogical proof of cherokee ancestry to be cherokee is the same as BQ#like. id be fine with tagging it if we mentioned it at all even dismissively or anything but just#if you read that post and got the impression we were even remotely thinking about BQ then... idk ?#a friend pointed out that the idea that talking about people faking cherokee heritage#is the same as supporting blood quantum is a threat to our sovereignty because so many fakes#and fake tribes use that same argument
