but daddy I love him is so literati coded

folklore and ttpd

and when I felt like I wan an old cardigan under someone's bed

You put me on and said I was your favorite

Vs

Did you take all of my clothes

Just to leave me here naked and alone

In a field in my same old town

That somehow seems so hollow now

whos afraid of little old me? is so Dick Grayson coded.

The cutest baby

Lidé čumblru, vzbuďte se, ex-britská kolonie o nás zase píše píčoviny

Prý 'malý ex-sovětský satelitní stát' 🤦. A tohle je dokonce Wall Street Journal, ne nic malého nebo obzvlášť bulvárního :/

thinking about how they learnt that saints were only people whose pain was noteable, noted. Thinking about how you must suffer to be a saint and you had to be in pain while you were living externalized. Thinking sankta alina of the fold and her suffering when she was a saint but it wasn't really suffering was it? It was power it was purpose it was a punishingly joyous victory where she won the war against herself and her true nature but by the standards of the story and the narrative she should've *then* been sick and not before or after should've then been grieving should've then been a husk of herself but that was when she was her strongest self. Thinking Abt how her story is sainthood in reverse.

The original percy jackson series is about cycles of abuse and neglect, right. Were introduced to percy as a kid who has clearly been left behind by a school system that has given up on him, restless and unengaged and self-defetist because hes been given nothing that works for him and no one even tries to meet him where he is. Then hes told no, listen, your neurodivergence is amazing and you just need to be given something that actually utilizes your unique palatte. And thats obviously the uplifting idea rick wanted for his kids, right. But once we get to know chb the same cycles are happening there too. There are kids "left behind" there too for one reason or another, because their parents dont want to claim them, because their parents werent important enough to get a cabin. Do you get it, all the kids who dont fit the most common neurotypes get shoved into the same closet. Kids are being left in a cruel world to fend for themselves without the tools they need. Theyre dying because no one bothered to accommodate them. Its such an obvious parallel that the first chapter introduces a teacher whos written to be especially hard on percys disability and she turns out to literally be one of these monsters trying to kill him. Meanwhile sally jackson tells him she named him after Perseus because she wanted a redemption for a hero whos story ended in tragedy. Meanwhile every book in the series replicates a greek myth step for step until the moment they break the cycle. Annabeth, playing Odysseus, is talked down from her hubris and grounded by her friends. Percy, playing Heracles, meets someone wronged by the original Heracles and rights his wrongs by refusing to go down the same selfish path as him. Monsters are reborn because they are--as the books explicitly call them--achetypes. These kids are stuck inside the cyclical nature of mythology because thats what happens to mythology, it gets retold over and over again. But these are the kids who have to live it. The series ends with percy being offered immortality and he rejects it because he wants to use his godly favor to force them to break their cycle of neglecting their kids. The series ends with a declaration that we cant keep letting this happen. The very first book offees the same choice. It ends with percy refusing to keep the head of medusa as a spoil of war, refusing his heroic reward. He lets his mother have the head and use it to kill gabe. Isnt that fucking crazy for a kids book? Gabe wasnt a Monster. He wasnt going to Turn to Dust and Disappear in a narratively convenient way. He was a living breathing mortal dude and percy and his mom killed him without remorse. Break the cycle of abuse!!!! Dont let this happen again!!! Anyway thats why the original percy jackson series is Hey where are you going with our breadsticks

“how is annabeth head of athena cabin” have you ever met an autistic 12 year old girl. she’s running that shit like the navy

I have to say darklina has its inherent toxic aspects yes I agree but the darklina fanarts and fanfics never ever ever ever ever fail to slap. I love how the fandom has just made tht ship their own and the aesthetic like ufffffffffff

i love how to be counted a living thing you barely need to do like 10 things its like you gotta excrete, reproduce, grow,etc,etc but then as a human we've made being alive so much more than those fundamental qualities like we've classified the art of living as laughing at memes, giggling with your girlfriends, stuffing your face with marshmallows, crying into your pillow late at night but being fine in the morning like idk its just how much of a spectrum we bring to life. like we got life and we turned it into something better than just survival, better than just existing and we continue to do so courageously, bravely and we're just so so brave in our efforts to do more than just live do more than just exist do more than just be here.

I just love humans love

like we're such small specks in the infinite universe but we still go out of our way to make everyone else here feel appreciated and we make things to make us happy like movies and brownies and such and such and we even like think about how what we do affects everyone as a whole like there is never an absence of love when there is humanity like i will love you even though i dont know you or maybe i will still have empathy and an abundance of care for you for everyone human being on the planet just because I've seen struggle and paiin maybe not in the exact same way you have but i've still seen it sadness and loneliness and i dont ever want anyone else to feel that way and idk it just makes me happy tht this is what it means to be human to just love and love and love limitlessly.

nicolibby stansssss

I just learned in physics class tht Binary stars can circle each other for billions of years. But eventually, they succumb to gravity; they collide and they destroy one another, ravaging the system that had been built around them.

I swear to God if this means nicolibby won't end up together or like end up hurting everyone im gonna cry
