hiera hodos lore....

ID: A comic depicting Mara Sov and Sjur Eido from Destiny 2. Sjur is a tall, muscular woman with light purple skin, and yellow markings on her cheeks. The marks are concentric semi-circles that extend from her jaw to below her ear. She has long, pale blonde hair, with bangs that hang down to her eyebrow. the front part of her hair is braided back to a small bun, while the back of her hair is worn down. Sjur is wearing a reddish-purple coat with a fur-lined hood and a long gray skirt, and is carrying her bow on her back. Mara is wearing a dark purple cloak with gold lining, over an off-white sweater and dark purple pants, with dark brown boots that go up to her knees.

Panel 1: Sjur and Mara are walking up a hill in the Reef, towards the left. Sjur is in the foreground, far ahead of Mara. They are walking on a path that winds up the hillside, all the way from a small settlement in the distance. Asteroids and stars are visible in the sky. It is snowing, and there are several inches of snow accumulated off the path. Mara is saying "Slow down," and Sjur is glancing back at her.

Panel 2: Sjur turns back to Mara, with one hand extended back to her, and the other placed politely behind her back. She is smiling, and says, "I could carry you." Mara is doubled over resting her hands on her knees, hanging her head and exhausted. Text hovers next to her reading "tired" and "tfw tall gf."

Panel 3: Mara is standing slightly straighter but still bent over. She is reaching for Sjur's extended hand hand, smiling with her eyes closed. She says "Don't." Sjur is grinning, leaning towards Mara.

Panel 4: Sjur is tilting her head, grinning cheekily as Mara takes her hand. Sjur says "~ mhm ❤️." Mara looks at her from the corner of her eye, blushing slightly and looking almost shy. Text points to sjur that reads "going to pick you up immediately." A speech bubble from Mara reads "..."

Panel 5: Mara is sprinting dramatically to the right and towards the viewer, blushing hard with a determined look on her face. Sjur is in the background, chasing after her with her arms stretched out over her head and a comically distraught expression. Sjur is shouting "But my queen! My heart's calling is to serve you!!!"

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”

Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?

My cat’s body is so loose and saggy that he blended in perfectly with a sweater on the ground. When my mom was cleaning up, she thought he was part of the sweater and grabbed him. :(

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.

- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.

- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.

- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.

That's love. 🐈‍⬛🐈❤️

One thing which genuinely bothers me is Annabeth's perception in the fandom. How she's seen as this cold, stoic, emotionless, reserved and intimidating girl. When in reality, she's a character full of love.

Annabeth, who immediately cried and felt attached to Cerberus after playing with him for a few minutes because she wouldn't get to play with him again.

Annabeth, whose deepest desire, which the Sirens lured her with, is saving Luke and having a good relationship with both her parents.

Annabeth, who believed in Luke's goodness, even after all the countless terrible things he did simply because she had faith in his humanity.

Annabeth, who cried in Percy's arms before entering the labyrinth and refused to reveal the last line of the prophecy because it said to lose a love worse than death and the idea of losing any of her friends is too painful, heartbreaking and worse than dying.

Annabeth, who kissed Percy before parting with him in St. Helens because if he's going to die, she at least wants him to die knowing she loved him.

Annabeth, who took a poisoned knife for Percy during the war because she'd rather die herself than let him die.

Annabeth, who convinced Luke to switch sides by reminding him of the promise of family he gave her. Which in turn, influenced Luke's decision to end himself to destroy Kronos. Hello, she saved the world with the power of love.

Annabeth, who spent months after months losing sleep and searching desperately for Percy when he went missing.

Annabeth, who kissed Percy to eternity in public at their reunion, not caring what anyone is going to say or think. An asteroid could've hit the earth, and she wouldn't have cared.

Annabeth, who told Percy “I love you” when falling in Tartarus because if she was going to die, she wanted them to be her last words.

Annabeth Chase is a sweetheart, who has always felt things deeply and she's so full of love. And I think it's time we let go of the “cold-hearted annabeth” headcanon because it's not true, that's not her.

PEREUS-

[pagodnapagod]

Deity who's unacquainted with concept of evolution creating a world with, like, twelve different kinds of creatures, thinking "yes, that's a good number – nice and symmetrical", then going on vacation for a couple million years and being very upset at what's waiting for them when they get back.

y’all be like “wlw” and it be white loving white.

Istg, what do you mean that silena and clarisse were just bffs when they literally paralleled (probably not a word) achilles and patroclus, Ruegard shipper for life

[pagodnapagod]

I wanted to draw Ada in the RE8 concept art. And, you know...

[pagodnapagod]

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

Hey guys, I just found out it's been five years since the miette post

Happy fifth Year of jail for mother. 995 more to go.

the seven are not-so-battle ready…

thinking about that scene in mark of athena where they're woken up on the argo II and are all ready to fight in their pajamas and wanted to do my own take on their pjs lol

[pagodnapagod]

agent a and agent p, where are your suitcases?

does anyone else forget that percy and annabeth (and all demigods) aren’t actually human? they’re part human, part deity. but not identified as either.

like… they have some human dna, they appear human and act human and feel human… but they are not human. just like they’re 50% god, but they are not gods. becasue even though the gods choose to appear as humans, they are composed of the same fundamental particles and forces that make up everything in the universe. they’re incorporeal energy. they’re these metaphysical transcendent entities that can shape-shift

and that is half of what a demigod is. percy and annabeth are not human beings. they’re some kind of hybrids. they’re humanoids. if percy and annabeth were to take DNA tests, the results would look something like this:

findings: what the fuck? error.

and i low key feel like they would have a good time using this fact to make ppl uncomfortable

like imagine percy and annabeth are out with both their families on a walk near the beach, and there’s this little mini cliff. percy and annabeth just casually jump down, but the rest of them are like “uh, guys, we can’t do that” to which percy and annabeth just respond “ugh, humans…🙄” knowing full well that for the rest of the day, all any of them will be able to think about is how the two of them are in fact, not human.

i’ve said it so many times but i will NEVER be normal about annabeth untying her camp necklace and putting it around percy’s neck before his fight with ares as a token of good luck in the books. in the season finale, she does it before he marches up to olympus to face zeus because he’s “tired of running from monsters” (and i could write a whole essay about him equating the gods with monsters and the percy/luke parallels the show draws) but the sentiment still rings the same because the way she’s gifting him a tangible representation of everything that’s ever meant anything to her—luke, thalia, and the home she found at camp half blood, as well as the lingering hope that her father loves her and wants her to the same extent she wants a present father—means so much to me!! like, “here is everything i’ve ever cared about and i want you to take it and wear my love for my home and family, which you are now a part of, around your neck as a shield to protect you from those who are trying to take you away from me” i’m going to SOB…tell me she’s not a softie i fucking dare you
