Marriage in general is fucked in the middle east..
I hate hate HATE living in a country where girls being married off at 15 is seen as something to be envious of.. is seen as something to be admired for..for fuck sakes! That's a fucking child!! I remember a classmate talking about i think a cousin of hers who's 15 who's married to a 29/30 year old man and how MUCH he LOVES her and how everyday he does her FUCKING HAIR FOR FUCKING SCHOOL!!!!
i saw a video of a 26 year old mother selling food on the street to make money and the top comment on that video was a man (sincerely) offering to marry her and he had like 100 replies of people asking him if he did it already and praising him for it..
And you know what's annoying is when i try to point out how fucked up those things are.. I'm almost always in the minority, I'm almost always argued against and people try to justify something like this by being like "this is our culture"....
fuck this culture and religion because you know damn well this shit is rooted in religion.. girls married off when they hit puberty to men twice their age is seen as an accomplishment.. men being encouraged to grace widows and divorced women with their kindness and marry them like they're broken or used (even if it meant getting a second, third or a fourth wife)...
And i know to most people reading this shit it sounds like I'm making it up but I'm not and you have no idea how much i wish i was..
percy’s view of himself: i’m so stupid and ugly and useless. i’m such a lame demigod
literally everyone else’s view of percy:
Especially in the beginning, it's easy to mix up what's a sign and what's just a coincidence! you can get better at identifying the two with practice tho :)
avocados don't have much to do with Apollo or Artemis, so at first glance i'd say it's most definitely a coincidence lmao
if you want confirmation for this kinda stuff, maybe look into other forms of divination like pendulums, tarot, etc. (pendulums are more beginner friendly)
I can't tell if Apollo or Artemis is sending me a sign or not cause I see clouds that look like words that are like in the sun but all I can see as the word is.. is.. is AVOCADO 😭
do they want avocado as an offering
i don't even know where to find avocado but I am in the grocery stores cafe right now
experienced devotees do you understand what's going on ???? Is this another one of them?? I'm so confused
maybe it was another word? The clouds went away when I read the word avocado.
If Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter were to fight CHB would win. This is based solely on the fact that they actually know how to think outside the box.
They’re also crazy.

I haven't been able to properly put it down since I finally convinced myself to read it. i've brought it everywhere with me just so I can sneak a few pages in wherever I go lmao
im 60% through this book, and im absolutely in love. depending on how this ends, I might even give it a reread soon
