My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

went down the rabbit hole on YouTube of other black ppl who are aromantics, virgins, never dated, etc. and I’m sitting here cheesing so hard bc I’ve never felt so validated. Like it’s not something I’ve ever felt ashamed or bad about and I’ve never had the desire to lose the ‘v card’ or be in a relationship but I feel like sometimes it’s hard to talk to other people about who aren’t and it’s just reaaaally nice to see other people that look like you sharing the same experience.

MK: "No way! I may not understand your irrational love of noodles, or working hard, or being angry all the time—but you are always there when I need you, so it's time for me to return the favor! Because Pigsy's Noodles, are noodles worth fighting for!"

Subodhi: "Zhu Bajie was a stubborn one too."
Pigsy: "Oh! So you think we're the same just cause we're pigs huh, bet you think I'm just a disgusting little monster too."
Subodhi: "Zhu Bajie had his vices, however, like all the companions he grew up. He struggled the most, but he worked hard, not unlike yourself. Although he didn't start out this way, in time he became a deeply caring and protective creature, and a powerful ally—one of the best in fact. The heart you have in abundance, the power? Why, you've barely scratched the surface of your potential! And that's saying something."

Gettin' emotional over my favorite hard working Pig man.

[CN] Victor’s Carbon Pen and Glass Bead Event (Day 3)
⌚ This post contains detailed spoilers for content yet to be released on the global server! ⌚
✦ thursday || friday || saturday || sunday || monday || tuesday || wednesday
【High School Affiliated to Loveland University Second Year (Section 1) Semester Schedule - Saturday】
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈
[MATH TUTORING CLASS]:
Being ahead by almost half of the semester allows Victor to have ample time to tackle all the knowledge points he doesn’t yet understand fully. Since he already dedicated himself to it, he must always ensure to obtain substantial returns.
If his requirements aren’t met, he will opt for another option.
Victor sits in the third row and calmly takes out the study materials. As the tutor steps onto the stage, he feels an inexplicable shiver run down his spine.
—
[BREAK]:
Cooking serves as a perfect stress-relieving activity, as it not only helps release pressure but also allows one to enjoy the delightful dishes they prepare.
Victor hums a tune softly as he tastes the chicken soup he has prepared. Ignoring the subtle shimmer of oil on the surface, the clear broth emits an alluring aroma that tickles his nostrils. The seasoning is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of saltiness and freshness, making every mouthful filled with a burst of umami.
Perfect.
After having his meal, he plans to spend the entire afternoon completing all the weekend school assignments.
──────
✧ next stop: Sunday

Random joel thoughts but do y'all think he took Sarah to see Finding Nemo and it hit him harder than he thought it would because like Marlin he is also a single father doing his best with a child he'd do anything for. Sarah is far from being an uncapable child but do u think that Joel ever wonders if he is a bad father because he works so much and so he buys her a small goldfish so something can keep her company when he can't.

grabs the microphone....hello...everyone...I'd like to show you my pride and joy....Hal Jordan.
Btw don't mind how it looks, I'm still figuring out how to work Clip Studio Paint (VERYYY WEIRD). So these are test drawings yummyuymym
Barry: "Heyyy <33" (While also doing the worst winks throughout history. Barry Allen CANNOT wink, only when he's acting cocky.)
Hal: "Bar, We've been dating for 5 years. Hiii <3" (Dear GODD he's so bad at flirting...I need him)
This drawing is an example of Barry before getting with Hal. Iris showed him one of those extremely corny romance movies (I am such a fan of them and I have an entire list of those movies) and then he started daydreaming one day at a JL meeting because the members were talking about movies (they got off track and Bruce had to clear his throat to get their attention).
I also got reminded of the song 'Just Some Guy' from Dead End Paranormal Park and went WILD. You could guess where this is going.....looking over to HalBarry and grabs them
