so, i’ve been thinking about this for a few days now, and I need to get it out of my chest.

i want to know, in all honesty, what makes christians of all people hate everything and everyone so much. because i cannot fathom where they got that narrative from.

keep in mind that their savior, Jesus Christ, was a man that was tortured before his death and he encouraged his followers to not hate the ones who crucified him. to forgive them, even. that was how serious Jesus was when he was speaking of “love thy neighbor as thyself”.

he wasn’t talking about only loving his followers, only loving those who agreed with him, only loving those who believed in the god he was promoting. he was talking about loving everyone and everything, despite the differences he had with many people.

have they simply not studied the story of Christ? have they allowed their savior’s ideals to be condemned for the sake of hating queer people?

if god is love — love for his world, love for his children — wouldn’t the deep hatred y’all are promoting be the propaganda of the devil? isn’t the legislation that forbids certain religions, certain sexual orientations, certain gender identities, etc. the exact same type of legislation that got Jesus crucified?

and that’s what they’re promoting.

there’s a reason why Jesus didn’t come to this earth in the body of a king, i’ll tell you that much. he came in the body of the poor, in the body of a Jew, in the body of the oppressed, so he could teach the ones who were oppressed to destroy the very system that oppressed them.

with love and community.

i remember watching videos about Jesus’ death when i was a child for school and being horrified that people would do things like this. now, i’m older, and i understand that if Jesus reincarnates and comes back, the Christians themselves will be the first to declare his word blasphemy.

in your effort to follow the guidelines Jesus left behind in his passing, you have turned yourself into the devil’s most loyal slave. congratulations.

#christianity #jupiter rants #for real #this has been upsetting me for a while #i've been studying a bit of theology with some friends #and the things i've heard #well #you certainly are not the hero of this story #also i'd like to clarify that i know that not all christians believe this #trust me #i have christian friends who are horrified their religion is being used to promote such hatred #not only that #but i have queer christian friends who told me that they feel inspired by jesus to do better and that's how they managed to be both #because the adjectives christian and queer shouldn't be used as opposing sides to one narrative #if you call me blasphemous without thinking for a moment about the things i've said #then you have just proved my thesis

Venus in 9th/Sagittarius people, are up front and honest with their standards from the get go and will not compromise any parts of themselves for anyone, but they will entertain for the fun of it.

They enjoy being able to teach their partner a thing or two about life and may also be attracted to lovers who are the same.

Venus in Sagittarius lovers love to tease and be teased. They have a broad sense of humor and can laugh at themselves.

These people are outspoken about their sexual needs and seek to try new things every time. They don't like when things get routine and dull.

🍒

They are optimistic about love and can easily uplift their partner.

They can fall in love and out of infatuation easily but when they love someone they are devoted.

After a breakup they can move on quickly and won't wallow too long.

They are attracted to someone who shares their sense of humor and are from the same friend group. (Friends to Lovers)

They won't do well with someone who forces their beliefs unto them.

They prefer to be free to do their own thing.

They are repelled by people they can push around.

They desire a partner who has a backbone and can challenge them.

transness in media is so often represented as something inherently connected to suffering but thats really not the case. being trans is i think inherently joyous and its living in a society that is so bent on crushing trans people that causes all the suffering

#my whole gender journey has been a little hard in places.#but the joy and fulfillment i get most of the time from becoming the person i want to be #is worth that 10 times over #jupiter rambles #sorry im waxing poetic again. ive been meaning to start journaling but until then you still are forced to hear my rants

I will never recover from Jason's death, here's why

His whole story is heartbreaking. His mum died, he was separated from his sister when he was just a baby, he was abandoned at the wolf house and was raised by Lupa. He grew up at the Camp Jupiter surrounded by harshness, severity and rigidy. Then he lost everything, including his memory and had to take part to a dangerous mission in order to save the world. After everything ended he was finally happy, he had found his place, his people, a family. He was reunited with his sister, Thalia, was happy with Piper, had a beautiful friendship with Nico. HE WAS ALSO GIVEN THE TITLE OF PONTIFEX MAXIMUS. Then in the Trials of Apollo he also finds out that Leo is very much alive.

Then when he is finally really happy, Jason dies. He was just sixteen. I couldn't get through that book knowing he would die, I haven't finished the trials of Apollo for many reasons including this one.

Jason is such an underrated character and it makes me so mad. I never understood all the hate he got from the fandom honestly.

He will always be my favorite Character in Heroes of Olympus.

Well sorry for this long and messy rant.

so, like, with the CHB vs CJ thing going on (from what i’m seeing) on Tiktok wouldn’t CHB win??

cause it’s stated that there’s roughly two hundred kids there and that there are hundreds of minor roman gods and that “a lot of the campers are legacies— second or third generation. Maybe their parents were demigods. Or their grandparents.” -Hazel (SON, ch 4)

MEANWHILE, at CHB they’re all direct children of the gods as they also gain abilities/powers from their parents (ex: apollo kids being able to curse others)

and sure they got actual formations and shit but CHB has the Hermes and percabeth which percy is known to have insane battle IQ + annabeth PLUS hermes cabin being the hermes cabin with their insane tricks and ideas to battle out the roman’s. though, their fighting styles are different as Romans usually stab instead of slice which Percy is seen doing. really, it all depends on the time and place because CHB has been thru sm and lost so many kids fighters.

imagine a prime CHB vs CJ like with Luke, Ethan, Beckendorf, Silena, and Clarisse. that’d be funny and insane!

in conclusion, CHB is really more insane power wise and respectfully has Piper (charmspeak) Annabeth (insane strategist) Leo (fire + insane w machinery) PERCY JACKSON. (no nico cs we need to make it fair) and the roman’s seem to be really uptight and strict when it comes to battles like, “no! you can’t just do that in a fight!!!1!1 >:((“ or maybe i’m biased.

@nevermoorcentral

I have a thought. An idea. Snippet if you will. I know people on Wuntok and most fans here believe something happened to Jupiter North’s unit based off his reaction to talking about them in the first book in the chapter “Interesting, Useful, Good” That simply isn’t the case.

On page 492 of Wundersmith, it’s mentioning of a bunch of different people Jupiter called about the Ghastly Market situation. It mentions the Stink, Stealth, Celestial beings thing. And his Unit.

What I am getting at is that, his unit, or most of it, is perfectly healthy and alive. He was probably just emotional about it because who wouldn’t? I would want that. And the reality of explaining to someone who never got the chance to have such a thing would make me incredibly emotional

Greek God Thoughts: The Heart of the West (4/?)

One of the things that has always honestly, genuinely troubled me about the Percy Jackson series is the idea of the Heart of the West.

It's not the idea itself - Western Civilization which views itself as the direct inheritor of Ancient Greek and Roman culture is something which very much exists and which has been a very powerful motivator of empires for millennia. The Russian Empire, for instance, called itself The Third Rome, to say nothing of the innumerable lives lost trying to replicate the actions of Alexander the Great.

No, my problem is the fact that it moves.

Or, rather, that the timing and placement of these moves as hinted at in canon makes no sense. There's no earthly way anyone would have called the United States the Heart of the West during the 1860s, yet the Roman/Greek distrust is supposed to be a driving force behind the war and the the impetus for the two groups to be separated. And how would all of this worked when they were shunting around between countries in Europe anyway? Would the actual Mount Olympus serve as a backdoor to Olympus itself?

So this is my attempt to make sense of the movement of The Heart of the West as far as PJO is concerned.

Ancient Greece

Obviously the first Heart of the West is Ancient Greece, given we're talking about Greek Gods and Ancient Greek culture. This would have begun with the Gods and continued at least until the conquest of Greece by Phillip of Macedon in 338 BCE - Mount Olympus formed the border between Thessaly and Macedon in antiquity after all - and probably continued well into the Roman Republic. Olympus remains at Mount Olympus so long that the idea it might ever move should seem absurd - and, when all things are taken into account, have been the home of the Gods for as long as all the other put together.

Ancient Rome

But how do we account for Ancient Rome? It came onto the scene in 753 BCE, before even the Pentecontaetia, and adopted much of the Greek Gods and culture as their own.

I argue that the Gods remained primarily Greek until the Battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 BCE. After that, they are predominately thought of and act as their Roman forms, with the main entrance to Olympus moving to somewhere on the Capitoline Hill. There's still a "bridge" or "backdoor" to the original Mount Olympus, but it's like an old rope bridge over a deep ravine - sure, you can use it, but most won't risk it. The change from Greek to Roman should seem near complete to outside observers, and might have been if not for later events.

Constantinople

The Heart of the West remains in Rome until 330 CE, when Constantine moves the capitol of the Empire to Constantinople. This begins as a very Greek city which is quickly and drastically Romanized, but over time returns to its largely Greek roots. (That is, for all the western Roman empire became Latinized, the eastern, Byzantine part largely remained Hellenized.) A lot of the palace coups the empire is famous for can be framed as the Gods' Greek and Roman aspects at war.

It was not a good time for demigods, with both CJ and CHB existing in a near-constant state of civil war.

All of this continues until the Fourth Crusade, when Latin Christians besiege, sack, and eventually conquer the city in 1204. Just as the people, books, treasures, and relics carried westward were said to fuel the future Renaissance, the crusaders also carried back the Heart of the West. But where to?

Holy Roman Empire & France

I argue that after the Fourth Crusades, the Heart of the West went first to the Holy Roman Empire - which did after all claim continuity with Rome - and France - which was culturally dominate even when it was not politically or militarily. Perhaps it started in one and moved to the other, or bounced between locations depending on the generation, or had two sets of main entrances to Olympus for most of this period.

The exact details here are where I'm most fuzzy. All I can tell you is that the Heart of the West would have left France with the death of Louis XIV in 1715. Or perhaps it was a lingering death, ending no later than the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Regardless of the details, it is certainly gone by the time the French Revolution gets underway.

British Empire

Given how its inhabitants viewed themselves as the natural, direct inheritors of all the best parts of western culture, it makes sense that Olympus would move to London during the height of the British Empire. It's vast merchant marine and impressive navy far outstripped anything else of the time, which reads as very Greek to me in a way that Napoleon, for all he was trying to echo parts of the Roman Empire, never quite managed. (It is a headcanon of mine that Horatio Nelson was the last great son of Poseidon before Percy. Hell, perhaps Napoleon was a son of Zeus and the Napoleonic Wars were just another Big Three kids fight as far as PJO is concerned.)

But for all canon's talk of Washington being a son of Athena and the American Civil War being a clash between Greek and Roman camps, the Heart of the West remains in the British Empire until the Second World War. There are a variety of reasons for this, not the least because I envision the concept of Heart of the West as an intersection of cultural hegemony, military strength, and economic vitality that, while not quite aligning with the modern idea of superpowers, certainly has some overlap.

For all the American Frontier Wars succeeded in asserting US military and cultural dominance on a regional basis, compared to the cultural, linguistic, legal, and historical legacy of the British Empire at the same time, it is impossible to argue the fledgling United States had the same. (It was, in fact, one of those cultural, linguistic, legal, and historical legacies.) It would take until the Spanish-American War for the United States to start approaching the same level of influence... and the Second World War itself for the British Empire to start declining enough for the Heart of the West to take up residence elsewhere.

United States

And so there we have it - the Heart of the West could not take up residence in the United State any earlier than 1944. (If one wants to be particularly pedantic, unless the entrance to Olympus moves within an area after it gets settled, it couldn't arrive in NYC any earlier than 1931, when the Empire State Building was finished.) I imagine this was a quick wartime move for the Olympians and their children, happening virtually overnight compared to some of the other power shifts, and that this is reflected in the camps. Particularly CHB.

After all, if the Second World War was supposed to have been caused by children of the Big Three, there would have had to be multiple adult children of the oldest gods for this to happen. If those children spent any time at CHB at all, the Greek camp would have had to have had more than just a few small cabins for only the children of the Olympian gods - it's just a matter of logistics. You'd need bigger cabins - and presumably ones with multiple rooms so that the adults aren't bunking in the same room as the little kids.

The CHB we see in PJO is therefore the result of this quick wartime move - the handful of kids too young to be involved in the war throw something together quick that will get them by until the war's over and things go back to normal. But because of the Oath things never go back to normal: most of the adult demigods died in the war, and there aren't any new children of Zeus or Poseidon. Demigods start dying younger because the adult siblings that would have trained them just aren't there, and the ones that remain never know camp was any different. CJ, not having been as involved in the war, is set up along its usual lines on the opposite coast.

But what about the Civil War?

The Civil War - and, indeed, all the other places mentioned as the Heart of the West without it making sense to have been such - can be put down to the fact that the Greek Gods do not stay in Greece. The whole idea of the Heart of the West is one wherein Western culture spreads outwards from a culturally dominate center.

The Civil War? One could argue that Ceres would have been drawn to the plantations in the American South, as they'd bear some resemblance to the plantation farms of the Roman Empire. Hephaestus might have been drawn to the industrialization happening in New England and Athena, ever the flashpoint, would certainly have had a hand in a fledgling democracy. Shake and you get a destructive war that draws in allied demigods without the Heart of the West ever twitching in London.

The Heart of the West is mentioned as having been in Spain or Portugal? Perhaps some gods took more interest in these parts of the world than wherever Olympus happened to be at the time - Poseidon probably had a huge hand in the Age of Exploration, and wars anywhere in the world might have drawn Ares' or Mars' attention - but their presence was never enough to cause a wholesale shift. Perhaps these places could have become the Heart of the West but never succeeded in displacing wherever held it at the time; their influence was felt to greater and lesser degrees by the campers as a whole, but Olympus never moved.

TL;DR?

As much as I love PJO and should not expect a children's fantasy series to have a self-consistent backstory which makes sense when viewed in light of certain historical realities... I do. I've tried to logically make sense of The Heart of the West and the various locations which Olympus might conceivably be thought to dwell in light of actual history, but am far from an expert in the subject.

That being said, I stand by the Heart of the West having been:

Greece / Mount Olympus (??? - 197 BCE)

Roman Empire / Rome (197 BCE - 330 CE)

Eastern Roman Empire / Constantinople (330 CE - 1204)

Holy Roman Empire / Vienna (1204 - ???)

France / Paris (??? - 1715/1759)

British Empire / London (1715/1759 - 1944)

United States / New York City (1944 - ???)

GGT: 0,1,2,3

AAAAAAA.

I’m currently lining/Coloring/ generally digitizing a Comic I sketched out for a fictional SoN scene that is loosely re-imagining related and let me tell you.

i HATE Tyrian purple with a passion. Literally like- it’s so icky and gross. This is purely my opinions and everything, but from what I could see us as a collective society view this,

(All photos found off google sorry)

As Tyrian purple. This maroon color! This is so gross. If I had a burn book let it be known the first entry would be dedicated to how most warm toned purples are so gross to look at. There’s a reason why whenever I draw any Camp Jupiter t-shirt it is drawn as being a cool-toned purple. And that is because I like looking at cool toned purples, they are pleasing to the eye. They do not look grating like these!

All this to say that I make all of Octavian’s CJ shirts in most comics and stuff actual closer (not fully Tyrian purple because I genuinely hate it) to Tyrian purple compared to all his companions. He physically goes out of his way to dye his shirts because it’s a true Roman’s purple. Oh and it’s probably authentic too. His family has cash to spare so of course it is.

This is my formal explanation as to the reason Octavian and maybe Reyna will be the only ones running around with Tyrian purple or anything that is not a blue-purple or washed out cool toned purple shirt. Everyone else’s shirts are the original dark purple color if they are fresher, or are lighter and stuff due to the sun bleaching them or however sun bleach works. They’ve been outside long enough and unlike Octavian don’t periodically re-bleach or buy new ones. Also Reyna gets to be in it because like… Important head of the legion stuff.

Anyway the comic will probably be finished and posted at some point :3 it’s a little long and definitely a rough draft but it has some silly artwork when I got a little looser with it soooo-

(Pssst. Also there’s a Bryce Lawerence draft, big HoO re-imagine, and Octavian’s Augurculanum posts all in my drafts that are hopefully on their own way).

#hehe :3 #pjo hoo toa #camp jupiter #hoo #kind of a rant #hoo octavian #pjo octavian #hoo headcanon #octavian headcanon #octavian hoo #octavian pjo #I hate Tyrian Purple #literally I’m so sorry but it is an eyesore #would’ve died in Rome because the first thing I would’ve done is insulted the shit out of anyone who chose to wear that color #okay. I am okay now #but literally I’m going to cry #couldn’t even bring myself to actually make Octavian’s shirt Tyrian purple lol-#it’s like a midpoint but like idk warm purples just make me feel rage #okay bye
