I Will Never Hate Taryn And I Stand By That.

A demon simply called The Brother. It doesn't have siblings or any family, and it's ambiguous whether that creature itself is even male at all. It just keeps turning everything and everyone into broth.

Kinda true. Honestly, Rick sometimes seems to “forget” the lasting impact abuse can have on people. Not sure I can pinpoint an actual quote or passage, but sometimes I feel like he ...maybe not should, but could have portrayed the lasting damage more

Tw: domestic violence

Who thought it was a good idea for Hedge to go on the Argo II? Like here are three teens who were physically/verbally abused as children and we’re sticking them on a boat with this aggressive man who’s constantly yelling and swinging a bat around. Can anyone else see how Percy, Hazel, and Leo might not vibe with that very well?

what if—and bear with me here—annabeth isn’t the the overly-emotional character that everyone makes her out to be and defends to the point of no return. what if she—and you’re not gonna believe this—is reacting as any normal person would in a situation of her kind? and even crazier, out of the two of them, it’s more likely that percy is the more emotional one, because he suppresses his emotions so severely that they manifest in the demonstration of his powers. those powers, being some of the harshest and grandest in the series, acting as a visual for exactly how much emotion he has bottled up inside

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

Not sure this should be my first post but eh.

Okay, Listen. I love Leo, but damn, he was kinda mean to Frank in Mark of Athena. First time reading I just went over it, but now I’m rereading it and man, some of that stuff really stings. I feel bad for Frank

I have issues with the Hunters of Artemis

I fear this could be quite controversial with how popular the hunters are, but it’s something I really have to say and it’s not like I can lose followers over this    The hunters of Artemis aren’t the icons you think they are. Bold take, I know, but I hope you still hear me out. Still there? Nice. Okay, first thing.

The hunters aren’t feminists. I read that every now and then, but no, they aren’t feminists. They are misandrists, aka sexists. And it’s really not funny. They hate men, think of them as lower than women, as untrustworthy, as weaker than women, etc. the list goes on. Which for me is reason enough to be iffy about them, but I have more. They also hate women or at least think lowly of women who choose to date. Granted, this follows out of my first “argument” but it’s still a yikes from me. Talk about women supporting women. On that topic. They aren’t women. Well, technically they are, but they almost exclusively get recruited as young girls. As Artemis said, the average age of her hunters is about 12 years old. 12. Of course, it makes sense, at that age they likely haven’t fallen in love yet which makes the choice easy. But honestly, that’s exactly what I have issues with. They don’t really choose. They have no idea what they could potentially lose, it’s not an informed choice. This might be just me who feels weird about it, but since this is all about my issues wit them, I’ll mention it anyway. I also dislike their opinions about the aphrodite kids, but honestly, this is part of a bigger problem I have with Ricks portrayal of the aphrodite cabin and it’s implications, so I’ll make another separate post about that (maybe). I also wanted to write a bit about the hunters as lesbian/aroace icons but that isn’t that negative and the post is already getting long so I’ll leave it out for now

I see people complain about the seven not acting like an actual group of teenagers esp. because they didn't do crazy group stuff together but honestly, maybe they just weren't that close? Like, we know they weren't all friends, why should they act like it? Just something I was thinking about...

Please, no! Not Bart Simpson xD

I’ll never get that image out of my head again

why is jason’s official art so yellow?

Me: The way that the fandom writes and draws Piper McLean is racist.

White fans: It’s not racist! That’s how she’s written in canon!

Me: Yeah, and canon is racist too.

White fans:

I like how Falin experiences the opposite of Laius being nerfed by autism. She’s rendered op by autism. Everyone is like wow Falin is such a free spirit and so mysterious and intelligent and powerful and kind I want her fuck her brother though and Falin is just there splitting a thought bubble with Laius about what a big bug they just saw tastes like based on its observable taxonomic properties.
