“Percy’s special”
Oh I’m not gonna make it.
Seeing this kind of bullying in tv (actual realistic bullying, most people won’t like, push you and hit you or anything, since that way they’ll get caught, so they keep it simple and nobody does anything because they don’t see it as bullying) just took me back to school and holy shit. The way Nancy Bobofit pronounces the word special, like if it was disgusting, I think that’s very important representation. Because we know Percy has adhd, of course we know, but in the later books this fact has been pushed aside. Rick doesn’t really add much adhd traits and struggles in his books compared to in his first book. And meanwhile I knew about Percy’s time in school, seeing it is so so different and it’s not often bullying is shown this way and seeing a story of a bullied character, who’s deemed weird and “special” who then goes and saves the world and has lots of friends and a romantic partner, that’s really important for kids. For kids and for me. I’ll shut up I’m sorry I just have lots of feelings about it like I get it percy, I get it.
My love has deserted me, she does not recognize me.
Baby girl, look at me!
Do I look like Lore to you??
Ao3 is down I'm going to fucking kill myself, which I'd really rather not because that will activate like 5 different suicide pacts, which will in turn aclimate like 23 more suicide pacts which will turn into a whole suicide pact chain reaction and I just think that'd be kind of messy is all
There I was, sitting on my couch leisurely scrolling through a chapter. Once done I go to press “Next Chapter”, only to be befuddled by it lagging. ‘This is fine,’ I thought, foolishly. ‘It’s probably just my internet.’
But then tragedy struck, AO3 said I was moving “too fast”, that I needed to check a little box to confirm that I am not “Lore”. Dread pulsed through my veins. ‘Another attack?’ I thought terrified. ‘I barely made it past the last, how am I to survive another?’
Desperately I reloaded my page, only to be met with denial in the shape of “CloudFare”. Hurriedly I ran towards Tumblr, bursting through the doors I desperately pawed through the ancient texts to see if I was alone in this time of great need. Book after book appeared, detailing the strange occurrences that surround AO3.
In our deepest time of need the refugees and I fled towards DownDetector, hoping for salvation. Sitting by and huddling together for warmth, we made our theories. Hurt No Comfort and Major Character Death allegations flew around.
I sat by and watched, silently praying to the Volunteer Gods and wishing them luck on their grueling journey ahead.
my biggest fear in life is being remembered as my deadname. not just like as in being remembered by that name, but being remembered as the person that i pretend to be. i don't want my one mark on the world to be some fake shell, i need to know that i will be remembered as someone who was unabashedly themselves, who didn't care what people said when they came out, who grew and didn't just sit there doing nothing.
"down for maintenance" i refreshed the page like a hopeless and sick person
(fuck)
Hey guys what’s up just got back from watchin the pjo show premiere yeah it was a totally fine show and I feel a normal way about it
Percy seeing the Perseus statue who’s also holding medusa is fucking everything. this show is gonna be perfect. DISNEY PAY YOUR WRITERS
I know a lot has happened in today's leak and I don't want to be one of those people who focus only on their favorite character, but this issue was honestly so infuriating. This "angry arrogant brat who puts his father on a pedestal" portrayal of Damian is soooooo fucking outdated, has Zdarsky even picked any Damian's comic from the last 8 years?
Have you read the first issue of B&R 2023 last month? Damian was slamming his door on Bruce's face each time he tried making small talk with him, Robin 2021? Bruce was literally chasing Damian and begging for his forgiveness for an entire year? There's really no logical reason why Damian would be so fiercely protective of Bruce or passionately fight on his side, especially considering how Bruce is currently acting, but to have him be so aggressive and condescending toward the others is so regressive and degrading toward his character.
Like I know Tim is his favorite, we can tell by how he had Bruce listing all the things that make Tim better than the other Robins as well as having Tim literally descending in an angelic light to save Bruce just a couple of issues ago, but Damian's cameo in this was so unnecessary and probably happened so that Tim's writers can once again make Tim look good by putting other characters down.
But hey, they had Tim hugging Damian at the end so lets all aww at their "brotherism" and ignore everything else.
Thinking about all the times I took you for granted
all the good times we’ve had together
all the laughs and tears
Please come back from war, dear ao3 😔🤧🤧
I will wait for you, I will count the hours and minutes <3🤧🤧
