Hello-apes-of-the-world - Hi

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

“Can One Punch Man beat-”

Yes. Always. Good lord. I never understand why people can turn this into a big serious discussion. Yes, One Punch Man would beat Thanos. He would beat Luke Skywalker, Superman, every single character from Dragon Ball Z, and every ninja from Naruto. He would beat Thor and Wolverine and the Hulk in a tag team match. 

Because he plays by different rules. One Punch Man is a PARODY character. His skill set is defined by comedy, not power levels or physical strength. One Punch Man not Superman facing off against an ever-more powerful lineup of villains. He’s the Roadrunner against Wil E. Coyote’s ever more convoluted plans. Deadpool is the only other super hero type character who comes close to living in the same realm of parody, but frankly, Deadpool repeatedly getting the crap beat out of him would be funnier than Deadpool winning, so One Punch Man would win that fight too, even if he can’t actually kill Deadpool in one punch. Because parody.

If I see another Youtube video recommended to me like “Could One Punch Man beat-” really, truly, I do not care. 

PJO Headcanons (probably unpopular)

College: 

1. Annabeth attended Harvard

2. Percy went to the New Rome University (come on you guys our boy is smart but with his record this is his best shot)

3. I can see Percy becoming either a teacher. social worker, or marine biologist

3a. the school is for demigods so he doesn’t have the issue of dyslexia, he however has to study a lot, but if its marine biology he internally knows everything

3b. He is a diver for the swimming team because the speed thing would be cheating. 

4. Frank and Percy are roommates during college 

5.Frank and Hazel break up but get back together as adults. 

6. Leo doesn’t attend college but opens his own mechanic shop. 

7. Leo invents demigod friendly tech

Post College:

8. Annabeth and Percy made long distance work, but Annabeth’s careers makes her jump from place to place, Percy follows her around. 

9. Because Percy moves in with Annabeth, Frank is by himself for a while. 

10. Will is still going through college during this time because med school

11. I believe Clarisse and Chris become close friends with Annabeth and Percy because there are not that many couples that stayed together and they double date or something 

11a. Clarisse and Percy hate admitting that they are friends and will deny it at all cost. 

11b. They are constantly making jabs at each other

12. Clarisse becomes a detective (think of Rosa from B99)

Family:

13. @thejudgingtrash has posts that are amazing regarding parenting/ jobs

14. Will and Nico adopt (I don’t see them using a surrogate but I guess thats a possibility) 

15. Frank and Hazel have two kids, they were both only children, and Hazel loves her brother Nico and realized how “lonely” an only child is so they decided on two. A girl name Nicole, and a boy name Fai

16. Leo decided to become a foster parent being that he was in the system and he wanted to have a safe space. 

17. Percy and Annabeth have two kids as well, (see 13), they are working parents and know that they want to have careers but also a family and three kids are a lot of work.

17a. They were all planned pregnancies. They had their first at 27

17b. I either see them having 2 boys, or a boy and a girl. 2 boys, one with curly black hair but that is identical to Percy in the way that Percy is to Poseidon, and the other boy is Annabeth’s mini me but with straight blonde hair and darker grey eyes. boy 1′s name is James after Sally’s dad, and boy 2′s name is Adler because Annabeth got to name him and she couldn’t think of another name, and she didnt want to use Oliver because OJ, but also didnt want to use a name that had a tragic story. for my second scenario James remains but Adler becomes Allison (Ally), a girl with wavy black hair and grey eyes that looks a lot like Annabeth and Sally

17c. Percy is the stricter parent. 

Camp(s):

18. New Athens isn’t a thing, the camp expands but the camp is designed to be a summer camp. so no city 

19. As it turns out Zeus had a bunch of kids that started coming out of the wood works when the gang was at college (turns out Percy’s wish worked in his favor being that he had broken the pack)

19a. Hades didn’t have any kids cause he was the only one that was true to his word 

19b. Poseidon always jokes about more demigod children but they never appear (he truly loved Sally and wanted to make her a queen- thats canon)

20. Will and Nico once took in one of the Zeus’ kids for a while 

21. They all visit during the summer, but aren’t truly there as campers

22. On August 18 they celebrate Kronos defeat while also remembering the fallen heroes 

23. The seven stories have become larger than life, and their personalities have been obstructed by people’s stories to the point where some of them are very far fetch (cough cough kinda like the fandom cough)

24. The old campers all tease each other with the far fetch stories 

things i forgot about the last olympian

inspired by this post 

also a lot of these are things that i remembered that either make me extremely happy or extremely Sad and i just wanted everyone to share in my suffering

the summer has already passed! percy also says this summer was the hardest of his life

percy and rachel have spent a whole year and together at goode and they’ve hung out a lot this summer 

rachel had JUST made a move on percy when beckendorf showed up

RACHEL KISSED HIM THIS ONE I ACTUALLY FORGOT

“i’m guessing you don’t want me to mention that little scene to annabeth” god i miss beckendorf

beckendorf carries a picture of silena

“you mean all these years, i’ve been asking about this stupid prophecy, and it’s been right there around her neck?”

“she’d always been cute, but she was starting to be seriously beautiful” percabeth my HEART

paul’s reaction to mrs o leary in the living room is so enthusiastic

“thanks for not freaking out”

“oh, i’m freaking out,” he promised, his eyes wide. “i just think it’s awesome!”

hades tells nico that bianca would’ve done a better job of getting percy to the underworld

HADES SAYS MULTIPLE TIMES HE WISHES BIANCA WAS THE ONE TO SURVIVE

“it was a lot more dignified than, like, my armpit or something”

can we talk about the parallel between percy in the styx hearing annabeth say he “isn’t getting away from [her] that easily” and percy saying “you’re never getting away from me” to her before they fall into Tartarus bc it makes me So Emo

percy killed 200 of hades’ soldiers like it was nothing

hermes tells annabeth she was the only one who could’ve saved luke

silena knows a lot about magic

annabeth offers to stay with percy to activate plan twenty three and gets met with “no detours, you two”

percy laughs as he obliterates the minotaur’s army

SALLY AND PAUL FUCKING SHIT UP

I REPEAT

SALLY JACKSON WITH A SHOTGUN

the hera statue that falls nearly kills annabeth

may castellan is making cookies for a son who will never come home

athena is the one who speaks up in defense of percy’s request to claim all kids

just take a second to imagine annabeth and tyson baking that mf cupcake okay 

things i forgot about the lightning thief 

things i forgot about the sea of monsters 

things i forgot about the titan’s curse

things i forgot about the battle of the labyrinth 

does this count for another one?

just remembered this old clickhole video i used to be obsessed with

ive seen people mention that a perk to using a mace or warhammer is that they can shatter a sword. while yes, a sword can be pretty fragile in comparison to what is essentially an upgraded club, the thing about that is swords are nimble. they have the center of mass that close to the guard for that reason, it allows them to be quickly moved

so if you swing that mace AT a persons sword, that person can just...move the sword really easily. and you, already in mid swing, will have to commit to that swing all the way back up to a ready position

Well now I want to see someone experience “eldritch horror” where they just go “ooooooooh it all makes sense.” And that’s it, everyone else is freaking out and screaming but they’re just going huh yeah sure

People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.

An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.

Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.

It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…

It’s an ant again.

Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.

This is madness.
