Considering the fact that Percy is half Greek, do you think he's circumcised or not circumcised? What do you think? (if you think of this at all lol, maybe it's just me) I'm a big history nerd and in history books circumcision is mostly associated with Christian and Muslim cultures (I'm not from the US so I have no idea what the common for the average man is in there), but it is true that in Greece a very low percentage of men actually get circumcised, I know for a fact Greek gods and so included Poseidon does not engage in rites like these, so do you think Sally would have kept respectful to that side of his dad?

So sorry if this is a bit on the unhinged/weird side (you could totally not answer if you don't want to) but I can't avoid asking someone this since I'm veeery curious about what other people think.

So… I’m sure some people would label this a “weird” or “inappropriate” thing to answer, but honestly, I’m in healthcare, and this is just a natural part of new parenthood and biological males' health/well-being — so I’m gonna talk about this from a very objective perspective. This is something a lot of people either have experienced themselves or will eventually have to consider, especially since roughly half the population is biologically male, and a good portion of the other half might end up making this choice if they have a biological son. So I really don’t see a reason to treat it like a taboo topic.

Also just to clarify — I’m strictly talking about fictional Percy from the books, not anyone real.

So, it’s a great question, and honestly, one we can’t answer definitively. On one hand, I could totally see Sally being the kind of mom who wouldn’t want her newborn to go through a painful and unnecessary medical procedure. And since she is so knowledgeable when it comes to Greek history and myth, there’s a solid chance she might honor that culture and not have it done. But on the other hand, she didn’t really have any mortal male figures in her life to consult. And usually, it’s a decision that’s often influenced by the father’s input, since men tend to have more personal insight into it. In the U.S., circumcision is fairly common and is often encouraged (though never forced) by doctors, mainly for hygiene reasons. (Though the validity of that reasoning is controversial.) So I can definitely see her doing some research and deciding on it. But regardless, it can be a very difficult and personal decision. I can see why she wouldn’t, and I can see why she would. You know?

Also… I'm having a thought. If a demigod does get circumcised, would it even... stay? Like, do we think it might somehow reverse itself? Heal back? Regrow? I don’t even know how to phrase this without sounding ridiculous lol, but you get the idea, right? Demigods have accelerated healing. And especially Percy... like imagine Sally goes through with it, and then during his first bath afterwards, it just… grows back LOL?? Idk how it works though. I mean, say Percy’s hand got chopped off, would it grow back in water or would the stump just heal???? 😭

Idk guys maybe I shouldn’t have answered this. I’ve spiraled now. Begging someone else to please say something or reblog and contribute LOL

Range day! It was a hot one, around 95F. From left to right, my Kel-Tec CP33 with a pistol brace, a dedicated 10” 22lr upper with my AAC pilot 2 on top of an 80% polymer lower, my SBR DDLS lower/BCM 11.5” upper (with an Aimpoint H1) and my AAC M400 on the end, my WWSD inspired AR15 (with a Trijicon TAC 44C), my MAS 49/56, my MAS 36 bolt action, my Steyr M95 straight pull rifle, one of my rescue Lee Enfield SMLE’s, and finally one of my rescue Enfield No4 Mk1’s.

Sadly, both the Enfields are not good shooters despite my rescue attempts. Both French rifles shot very well and were pretty accurate if I put in the work. My AR’s are nicely dialed in, particularly the 11.5” rifle, that’s my home defense gun. But the most fun of the day was from the .22lr guns with the AAC silencer attached. The 10” 22lr was surprisingly accurate and so quiet. Almost movie quiet! And the KelTec CP33 is just silly (and a jam-o-matic) but silly fun and super quiet.

It was a fun and much needed range day despite the problems with the Enfields. I have many other Enfields but I like to try and rescue them all!

This is only the second time in my life I have seen snow. I wonder how bundled up Spock would have to be for this. It’s 23 degrees. Would he wear a light jacket or would he look like a baked potato? I’m partial to the baked potato 🥔

this and that about supernatural brainrot but back in high school i was convinced i had been possessed by a chill supernatural demon or some wayward angel inhabited my body and i retreated into my little rat brain without a care for what the imaginary things did. every week that i was dragged to church, i found it to be the funniest thing because nobody knew what i was. my parents didn't know what they brought onto the so called holy ground. now that is brainrot (my sister and i desperately needed therapy)

Pilates reformer class

A review by me

It was really hard. Like the pulling and pushing and am I doing this wrong and trying to watch other people or the screens or the---

no, lying on back, can't see anything except the ceiling and no idk the instructor was really nice and constantly helping me and showing me easier stretches and it was a nice class and it was all women (weird that men prefer actual weights over pilates reformer!!!! Except 29 year old Jake who owned 2 or 3 pilates reformer machines)

I'm so glad I tried it just to see what it's like but my legs are so sore, imagine if I can't get out of bed tomorrow morning, wow I really will become Sophia!!!!!! My dream.

Yeah it was pretty good and the guy at the gym booked himself in (he didn't do the class) and me as a guest so it was free but I think if I want to go back to Pilates reform, I have to be top tier member and idk if I even want to be member (lowest price is $20 per week). I just want to try classes. There's still classes to try without being member.

Modern AU, Eddie and Steve are together and live together, Steve is a paramedic and Eddie is a bartender + fairly successful streamer. He usually plays games where you can create your own character, or at least customize it.

Steve doesn't watch any of the streams, but he's very supportive of Eddie's career.

What he doesn't know is: Eddie always creates a character based on Steve. Always.

Mass Effect? Commander Steve Shepard, brown eyes, hair and tons of bitching from Eddie during the stream that the faces are all ugly and they don't do Steve justice. He goes for the destroy ending because he'll never, EVER have Steve die in a game for good.

Dragon Age: Inquisition? Warrior Steve to the rescue. He also romances Dorian because "of course he would date a sassy gay, duh."

Baldur's Gate 3? Paladin Steven with Oath of Devotion, doing as much good as possible, keeping Gale from becoming a horrible godly being, becoming besties with Karlach and romancing Astarion because "that's just who Steve is, he believes in people even when they don't."

Steve doesn't learn about this for years. But when he does, he completely loses it at a sentence that Eddie always uses to end his stream: "Be good, guys. Always ask: WWSD - What Would Steve Do?"

And yes. There is merch with that.
