"The Stoppables"

This. I still haven’t met anyone who read TOA and it didn’t become their favorite Rick Riordan series.

All the series combined, (pjo, hoo, toa) I think Trials of Apollo might be my favorite. I’ve said Heroes of Olympus for a while, but after finishing toa, I was actually really sad in a way that I wasn’t with the other series. This is my reasoning: *TOA SPOILERS AHEAD*

Lester/Apollo’s narration and character development was top notch. In The Hidden Oracle, at first I thought the book series was gonna be full of arrogance and whining. Oh, how it was the complete opposite. He went through stuff that no other god will ever go through. Pain, and grief. The empty feeling of not being yourself anymore. And he finally realized how the gods are, how clueless they have been about mortals and demigods. Everything that happened in toa was just building up to the perfect Apollo, the Apollo that’s not in fact perfect.

The characters. Like, these characters are so good? First of all, they are so fleshed out. Meg McCaffrey, who saw her own father dead and got mentally abused by the emperor who killed him. “The Beast,” was just himself, but Meg was too scared of him to stand up for herself. And like, how is an arrow kind of making me empathize with it? The arrow of Dodona was supposedly the worst piece of wood in the forest, and so Lester needed to prove the others wrong, and I think he did. Especially in that final battle against Python.

The amount of different stories and adventures. Obviously you would have sooo many adventures, because you need to get a different oracle in each one! In every single one, we’re introduced to a new character and new goal. It doesn’t really start in the first one, as it’s just introducing the main characters. In the second one, it’s Emmie, Jo, Calypso, and Leo. In the third one, it’s Piper, Jason, and Grover. In the fourth one, it’s Lavinia, Reyna, Hazel, and Frank (a lot of characters from SoN). In the last one, it’s just a lot of chb campers. Will, Nico, the Troglodytes, and more. See what I mean? There are so many different stories in just one series.

And lastly, how powerful it is. The fact that it could make me cry is impressive, because I don’t cry at much (book and movie wise). Jason’s death, Lester’s misery, Meg’s abuse, and so much more. It’s just so sad but powerful at the same time. If you prefer a different series, (PJO, HOO, TOA) then tell me why!

*gets stabbed* Me: Another day another dollar

(I’m not getting paid for this)

saw this on instagram and figured i’d repost here. be careful everyone.

had to go to a formal event today so last night I set aside a dress and one of my moms old work jackets and pants. This morning I put on a well fitting suit for the first time… WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS EARLIER!!! Honestly though this is great, if you haven’t already you should try on a suit.

Me walking around with a backward sports bra on like “ah yes, a man doing manly things like sewing and wearing manly things like a pink white and blue pins on his purse.

this is the THIRD SWEATER that I have found CUT IN HALF what is happening to them!?! I don’t understand???

A normal Saturday

I love the cold

Not because of the temperature itself but because of the hop of past me accidentally leaving money in a jacket pocket..

and the disappointment of the only thing in there being a broken keychain I bought for 3 bucks

THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 20TH

oof that's sooo relatible

actually i think most of the people i know irl like minecraft and probably would not find it strange that i still enjoy mcyt videos as a adult. plenty of them already know, we just talk about different stuff when i'm with them (aka touching grass.) the difficult part is taking the next step, which is. how to be honest about the LEVEL of interest i have in it. like hello! yes you know i like minecraft and perhaps that i watch minecraft videos! but did you know i also spend months on end writing in depth minecraft fanfic? and write analysis essays about it for fun? and draw fanart of it? :D

mostly i do not want to share my tumblr or ao3 with these irl friends anyway, so i guess it's fine. like there's no point in sharing that you write/draw if you don't want to show it to them. but sometimes im like

AHhh omg yass

Buttercup group

As someone of the Hermitcraft fandom I would like to sincerely apologize to the Power Puff Girls fandom because their tags are definitely being taken over by the Buttercup trio

THE BUTERCUP TRIO

It's the perfect name for them right?!? To my knowledge they don't already have a group name right?

Queer platonic relationships

I know I haven't posted in awhile but I cannot sleep because of what I want to say:

QPR's are valid relationships.

I would be in one if I wasn't a scared wimp. There is someone I want to ask but he's not aro/ace and in a relationship, which isn't as much of a problem as one might think because he's open to poly relationships but I dont want that kind of relationship

he also has no clue i'm aro/ace... I really hope he doesn't have my Tumbler

god dang that Pan Trans man
