"a Shrimp, fried this rice?"

whos gonna tell him..

[phoenix--flying]

telling me that one of the campers never talked bad about a dead/presumed dead titan army member after the war ended and then got punched in the face?

well heres lou punching someone for bad mouthing her big bro >:)

To say he was surprised was an understatement. It was a normal dinner, for the most part. Kayla and Rowan were talking about some archery contest they’d had earlier while Maria and Austin were writing a poem, for some boy Maria liked, he figured. So when the pavilion suddenly burst into chaos, it was a surprise.

It started with a sickening crack cutting through the hushed conversations and one of the Ares kids hit the ground, his nose was bleeding, broken, Will assumed. He heard the boys attacker before he saw her.

“Say that about my brother again and I’ll make sure you end up with worse than a broken nose!”

Will was quick to his feet when he heard Lou Ellen’s voice, but Cecil was quicker. He was at the daughter of Hecate’s side almost immediately, standing between her and the boy while Ellis tended to his brother.

He wasn’t sure what had set his friend off, but she was glaring daggers at the son of Ares on the floor, purple eyes glowing with rage though there were tears brimming them, he could see the Mist curling around her, as if responding to her emotions. Cecil placed a hand on her shoulder and she scowled.

“You don’t know anything about my brother and you have no right to talk about him.” She snapped, turning to walk out, with Cecil on her heel.

“What happened?” Will asked Ellis as he knelt next to the two boys.

“Mark thought it would be fun to poke fun at the Hecate kids in the army,” Ellis muttered. “I told you not to piss Lou off, just because she doesn’t look like a threat doesn’t mean she isn’t one.”

Mark only rolled his eyes and winced as Will poked his nose. “Well, it’s not broken. What did you even say to her?”

“I was asking about that general guy.” Ellis rolled his eyes.

Will was well aware of the stories, despite the war only being a month ago, rumors spread like wildfire about the demigods in Kronos’s army, specifically, about General Alabaster Torrington.

Now, Will had come face to face with the guy during their Philadelphia raid. He’d been in charge. Michael had insulted the guy a bunch but he only really got aggressive when his sister – Lou, he remembered – got shot, Sylvie had been aiming for him, but her arrow almost…avoided him.

Now I wish you hadn’t done that, I really was trying to be civil. He’d said.

So, Will really had a hard time believing the rumors, most of them revolved around the guy harming and killing his own army, specifically, his siblings. Which really didn’t seem realistic considering he’d only attacked them because they hurt his sister. It was solidified by Lou and Cecils annoyance by the rumors.

“How many times do you need to be told not to talk about Alabaster, Mark?”

“Why should I listen to you? You’re probably still loyal to that damn titan.”

Ellis scowled. “I’m not. Alabaster is- was, my friend. Besides never heard you’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead?”

Will pursed his lips. “He seems to be a touchy subject, so how about we don’t talk about him for now?”

Mark only rolled his eyes but Ellis gave him a thankful look.

You know I'm gonna be honest. I don't think all these apps really need access to my precise location

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

[reaping-the-benefits]

Imagine you're the medic assigned to the task force. You're not some dainty little thing. You're snappy and will drag them by the ears if you have to. You're constantly getting into arguments with Price because he won't listen to you when all you're trying to do is help him.

Anyway, the rest of the team has bets on how long its going to take before you two finally fuck. Gaz gives y'all another month. Soap says two weeks. Ghost thinks that you've already done it.

Now, imagine how mad Gaz and Soap are, both giving Ghost 50 quid each when Price casually drops that not only do you have sex on the regular, but you've been married for the last five years.

That's that shit eating grin that practically screams "Harder! HARDER!" except the homoerotic subtext is a tripwire they're crash landing through

[lastoneout]

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

intimacy between an evil spiteful building-sized supercomputer and the lone scientist left behind after everyone else ditched and forgot about her (in which computer wants to kill scientist really bad but her programming wont let her so she just attempts to make her as miserable as possible instead, which also doesn't work because scientist is a freak)

obviously I don't like the everpresent fic trope of wise and hypercompetent lesbian appears for two seconds to sort out hapless gay boy feelings. however, I do think it gets at something, which is that lesbians fucking love to give advice we are eminently unqualified to give.

so from now on I will only be accepting this trope if the instagram therapyspeak relationship advice is a) objectively wrong and b) coming from a lesbian who is actively ghosting at least two girls while crying about her ex-situationship from 5 years ago. thank you!
