I don't know how to tell you people enough that cishets think gnc people and trans people are the same thing & thus homophobia and transphobia aren't that far removed from each other & sometimes people's genders aren't as simple as 1 or 2 & we should really be fucking getting along instead of wasting our time on stupid ass infighting. Other queer people are not, have never been, and never will be your enemies
I decided to make a little October prompt list!! I honestly don't know how much I'll participate myself but I hope y'all have some fun with it :3
May you be blessed with hardcore gay sex thatd give a conservative a deadly heart attack this pride
This shirt came to me in a vision
“Joe, I am thinking about death,” Cleo declares, hanging from the teeth of her snake cavern.
“…okay,” Joe says, slowly. He’s still looking through her chests for spare birch for some reason. She’s letting him. She really, really doesn’t need birch.
“Well, I mean, I thought you should know,” she says.
“I don’t mean to put you out by not bein’ suitably dramatic, but you think about death a lot,” Joe says reasonably.
“What? You’re good to talk about it to, what with you also being dead.”
“Am I truly?” Joe says. “I may be a ghost, and also transparent until each sunrise, but does that make me dead when I still speak? When I still dream, and change the people around me, and act?” He picks up a skeleton head from the chest and frowns. “Cleo, did you mean to lose this?”
“See, that’s what I mean—no, give it.” She holds out her hand, and Joe hands over the skull.
“Oh, good. Because if I held this too long talkin’ about mortality, someone might think it’s a bit too on the nose.”
Cleo snorts. “Alas, poor Cleo. I knew her, Joe.”
They’re both companionably silent for a bit.
“Any reason?” Joe says, after seemingly giving up on finding the birch he’d been looking for.
“For the skull? Joe, did you hit your head?”
“No, for talkin’ about death again, and why I don’t think we are.”
“Oh,” Cleo says. “Grian’s doing that game of his again, and I’m playing.”
“Oh! Good luck, have fun, as the kids and gamers say.”
“Thanks Joe. Appreciated.”
“No problem!” He turns to her and beams and she laughs.
“And you basically answered it anyway. What I’d give for everyone else to see it the way you do. We do, I guess. Death, I mean.”
“One day, they will!” Joe says brightly.
“Oh, that was ominous. I’m jealous.”
“With a little luck and also, ideally, some birch logs, you can be exactly as ominous as I am. Just three easy payments of I need those logs so badly Cleo why did you give me false hope—”
Cleo laughs.
People were asking for a proper highlight during Cleo's stream so, here you go. Scare and Grian be absolute "dicks" to Cleo.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I hope they keep Annabeth’s eyes and hair dark. Black girls deserve to be able to be portrayed onscreen as magical without having any of their features altered to look more white. The “magical Black person with light eyes/hair” is so played out.
Annabeth was blonde in the books to overturn the stereotype of dumb blondes. Black girls (especially Black girls with neurodivergencies/learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD) are shown as smart and capable onscreen significantly less than blonde girls. I’m so happy that they’ll now get to see themselves shown as clever and special and important.
If anyone has any issues with Black Annabeth, they can get over it.

And I’m here to keep you on your feet.
Enjoy
oh god i've just realized about the goat horns how it's one horn being responded by many and as the series continues the response is going to lessen one by one until it's only a single call into an empty world
