my contribution for the netflix avatar remake
You know what? I don't want to change my VPN every six months cause it was caught selling information. I don't want to go deep into the settings of every website I so much as look at. I don't want my internet browsing to be a constant leap through hoops so that companies can't do things which should be illegal anyway. I want privacy to be the default and for it to be difficult to take it away, not the other way around. Is that too much to ask?
hey let's all do this on March 15th. on the website.
Hey don’t just like. Reblog.
I do sometimes think about all the smaller ways Sadie has been let down by other characters.
I think about how she was too young to understand that her grandparents tore her away from her father and brother.
I think about how she internalized that as abandonment by her dad, and that scar never went away even when she was old enough to understand.
I think about how she was in a bad mood at the beginning of the first book because most of the time with her dad was already gone.
I think about how she initially perceived her dad taking her and Carter to the British Museum as prioritizing his work over being her dad.
I think about how Sadie questioned if her dad and brother even still loved her.
I think about how she's always the one to be unfailingly loyal.
I think about how she trusted Bast when a magician accused Bast of abandoning her duty.
I think about how she believed Amos was in control of Set's power at the climax of the third book when everyone else doubted.
I think about how she still visited Bes's comatose body, despite not liking places like hospitals and nursing homes.
I think about how no one really extended her the same.
I think about how her grandparents didn't fight to keep her at home with them in Britain.
I think about how Carter chose to go after Zia instead of going with Sadie to find the book of Ra.
I think about how that made Sadie cry.
I think about Sadie, who feels abandonment extremely acutely, was forced to sacrifice her dad.
It's just something I think about.
that scene in tlo where thalia tells percy he can't start feeling sorry for luke bc luke made his choices. and thalia reveals that the reason they couldn't make it to camp in time for all of them to make it to camp was bc luke kept picking fights. and annabeth never saw this as wrong bc luke was her hero. so thalia had to pick up the pieces. and percy thinking both that luke was put in a cruel position and that luke was putting others in a cruel position. and percy is the only character who understood both sides of luke bc annabeth sees only the best of him and thalia sees only the worst. and that's why percy is the prophecy kid and the one who gives luke the knife. bc annabeth had spent the entire series essentially giving luke the knife when he didn't deserve it. and thalia was never going to give luke the knife. but percy is the only one who can see exactly when luke deserves the knife.
ok pjo fandom, reblog if you want to see this diehard romione shipper live blog reading the series and........possibly replacing my TWENTY YEAR otp with percabeth 😬
THIS FIC IS ONE OF THE BEST PERCABETH FICS I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME
I need every percabeth shipper out there to read Cardigan by Omnifiasco on Ao3.
The type of parents who argue that simply putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their kids' head is sufficient parenting are always so shocked when their children no longer want to deal with them once they've got their own place and can buy their own groceries. Like what else did you expect to happen? You told the people who had no other choice than rely on you for food and shelter that asking for any more than that is unreasonable of them, and then they don't go to you for anything once they can get those some other way. What would they go to their parents for?
They've got food at the house.
Nico who, as he gets stronger, starts hearing voices saying his name. The first time it happens, he's just arrived back at camp and it's Will’s voice in his ears so of course he turns to find him in the dark and fears the worst when Will is nowhere close, because the dead have been calling his name for years.
He would have felt will's death, he knows that, but everything has been... off. Will is alive, of course, and so is Chiron, the next person Nico hears saying his name when they're not around him.
It takes a while, and he almost convinces himself he's gone insane first, but they figure out that he can hear when someone talks about him, much the same way gods can. For now, it's only when they're in the same general area, and he can only catch his name, but he's getting stronger. He can't help it.
The more powerful he gets, the farther away someone can be and still reach him. He starts to hear more than just his name, like a radio has been switched to a new broadcast channel every time he's mentioned, and he can tune in to hear what they say about him. They tell his stories; some friends, some enemies, many strangers.
As he gets stronger, he has to learn to shut it out, or it will break him, and he wonders if this is why the gods never seem to answer.
The first time he hears a prayer addressed to him, shakily whispered in a voice he's never heard before, he answers immediately. The younger sibling of a Roman camper he's met only in passing cowers in a corner, hiding from a monster and throwing our prayers to every deity they can think of, every name mentioned in a bedtime story about heroes who fight monsters and get gifted immortality for their efforts.
Only the Ghost King, whose rise to power was unsanctioned by the gods, unwanted, an act of rebellion, answers. Because it's not the gods who grant immortality, it's the storytellers.
How do I tell Annabeth haters that they’re not being more feminist for hating Annabeth instead of Rachel? Why do we always gotta hate someone? Can these two girls just exist and not be blamed for shit.
Because first it was “Rachel is getting in the way of Percabeth so she’s a bitch”
But now it’s “Annabeth was so mean to Rachel she had so much internalized misogyny”
Like why did y’all switch up??
I mean good for Rachel but like bad for society this just set us back because wtf
If you can’t blame one you have to blame the other? Honestly they think they’re being such a girls girl for that but it’s just getting worse. God forbid a girl has a crush on an attractive guy and god forbid the other girl who has severe trauma revolving anandonment hates her for it.
