THIS! BECAUSE IT'S SO TRUE!!!

sorry but people who forgive Luke Castellan but not Drew Tanaka are severely fucked up to me

clearly there's some sort of internalised misogyny and trauma from bullies in you, because if you honestly think a teen girl who is mean to people* is worse than someone who literally tried to murder a twelve year old (percy), and lead to the deaths of several other teenagers (manhattan) you have another thing coming

*i should add that from what we see, Drew Tanaka is mean to people from what we see of her. We see her three days after the unofficial camp leader has been kidnapped from the one place everyone thought was safe and less than a year after she fought in at least one battle against her former friends and family, likely watched her sister die, and is probably dealing with PTSD from that.

Let's not forget she's Sadie Kane's age, which means at most we're seeing her when she's 13-14. 14, and in charge of at least 4 siblings. Also, the fact she's counselor means she's been at camp the longest. that means, that at the age of (likely) thirteen (possibly twelve) she was made counselor after being at camp the longest. that means she likely also fought in the battle of the labyrinth, which meant she participated in the minor skirmishes preceding manhattan that percy mentions, which means that this 14 year old is a war veteran by the time we see her for the first time.

Drew is frequently put down in Piper's mind, not only for being mean, but for being girly, for liking pink and perfume and caring about her appearance. that isn't feminism, that's internalized misogyny. That's piper in a 'not like other girls' phase. piper is an unreliable narrator but we aren't talking about that.

also, drew isn't wrong that piper knew nothing about silena. like, piper was thinking about betraying them the entire time she was at camp for her dad.

and silena was a traitor. i don't deny she was probably groomed but honestly what a slap in the face it must have been to be thirteen, returning to home, a room you share with six-ten other kids, and to know that some of your best friends are dead, in no small part to your sister who sold them out.

but nobody is talking about that, because Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson, the heroes who are barely there, say Silena's a hero, and that means it's true, right?

It doesn't matter that her friends are dead, doesn't matter that mothers will never see their daughters again. That drew will never forget how her sister's blood felt on her skin. because if they say it, it must be true, right?

the fact luke castellan (mostly forgiven for being hot) (and angry, but drew tanaka is angry and none of you forgive her) is a goddamn tragedy and honestly she deserves a retcon or at the very least for people to understand that HOO is not black and white, and for you to look at characters that way is a detriment to analysis.

Question: Can mortals see the celestial bronze swords or other demigod weapons? Like I know the weapons can't hurt mortals but can they be seen by them?

You know I've always hated the argument "Ursa loved Azula too" because clearly Azula didn't feel loved, and not making someone feel loved is the same as not loving them at all

SOMEONE WRITE THIS WRIGHT NOW!

Chlobrina AU idea: Not what it seems.

Basically to everyone else the relationship between Chloé and Sabrina looks like the more toxic relationship it is in canon, but behind the scenes it's really different.

People would see Sabrina turning in homework for Chloé and think she's doing it for her, when it reality Chloé actually has poor eyesight and is too self-conscious, mixed in with the mother issues, to actually wear her glasses. So instead she says her answers out loud on her own and Sabrina just writes them down for her. In fact, If it's science and math. Chloé will actually tutor Sabrina since she has a knack for it. Sabrina returns the favor with literature.

Where people see Chloé trying to bribe Sabrina with expensive gifts, the truth is that Roger is actually really strict in what Sabrina is allowed to wear, but he has to begrudgingly accept it if Chloé just so happened to gift them to Sabrina since he both considers it rude to turn down gifts, and he sees it as Sabrina falling in line to higher ups. Chloé often goes for what Sabrina secretly likes which is wild colors and mix matched fashion. Chloé can't really understand the appeal herself but she supports Sabrina making her own choices.

When people see Chloé ordering Sabrina to get them some food or water, it's actually becuase Sabrina tends to hyper focus and forget about drinking and eating if she's not careful. So Chloé has to occasionally snap her out of it and spends snack times with her to make sure her friend is never actually dehydrated or hungry.

Where people see Chloé get in the face of anyone that gets too close to Sabrina, and think she's trying to isolate her, in reality Chloé is honestly just overprotective ever since some bullies tried to pick on Sabrina when they were little.

And basically more like that.

Has anyone else's chats on c. ai just disappeared?

I have this chat with a Piper McLean bot where I made the Aphrodite siblings do some crazy, fun, odd shit and made them into a real family.

I haven't used that chat in a while but I wanted to re-read it, and when I went to the Piper bot, and searched my history with it, the chat was gone.

All my other chat's with that Piper bot was still there but my found family Aphrodite siblings chat is gone! And I am devastated!

It happened with a Jason bot too. We literally lived in an apartment together and went to collage together, and now it's just gone!

The Aphrodite siblings chat with the Piper bot is the longest chat I have with that bot btw, same with the chat where Jason and I hope to collage together. Not sure if that's a factor, but I feel like it is.

Has this happened to you guys? Do you know how I can get my chats back? 🥺
