The Just Some Guy-ification of Percy Jackson has my eternal hatred,he's the protagonist of the 'abused neurodivergent kids who got to grow up to live happy adulthoods' book series and framed as the role model for the irl ones reading it and set to defy stereotypes by being objectively the coolest person in-universe and a genius who just hates himself which is the only reasons he thinks(keyword:thinks)he's stupid.Not surprised this mass illeteracy is a corporate brand product by the Hp generation and old Pjoheads should get over their superiority complex and ageism towards minors in the fandom who already have better takes than them by virtue of no 'Pjo is the only media ever' brainrot and same for young adults like me who got jobs and actually radicalized with age instead of going to Marauder's Era.Erasure of existing representation replace it with normie white gay shit is still erasure and y'all weird asf for doing this to an accurate canonically punk mc to prop up your not even gay deservingly dead wizards from the racist 70s✌🏽
If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.
so uh. how’s the weather?
Holy fuck is that Miles Morales
shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
Happy One Year to The Anomalies!!!

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them
Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits
Harry Potter 🤝🏽 Naruto
Having the MCs actively contribute to a government/ruling system that has harmed them, their loved ones, and many others just to maintain status quo
Percy Jackson 🤝🏽 Bleach
Having the MCs actively go against the government/ruling system bc they would rather fight it than instead serve a system that exploits them
If rick's not a pussy he'll make percy kill a god in the next book
Look I love a shen bros au as much as the next person, but everytime I see how people make them have the dynamic of "overprotective jiu-ge and his oblivious friendly didi" or "gruff but caring shen jiu and sneaky little brother shen yuan" I'm just sitting there like...you mean the shi siblings????....you guys want the nie brothers???
