That feeling when your body is requesting something but you're not sure what so you just start eating and drinking random stuff to try and figure it out

*percy controlling akhlys’ poison to use it against her and choking her on her own tears and saliva*

annabeth: never do it again. never do anything like it again. i’m begging you

many years later

*percy and annabeth’s teenage children being held at knifepoint by enemies, seconds away from being killed*

annabeth: percy, do it

I would love to have some kind of news source where they just, on default, present the facts straight. But, and here’s the key thing, you can click on things in the article and see different interpretations of the facts. It would be even better if they had a whole other article which just expanded upon the various interpretations in addition to the option to view interpretations within the main article itself.

And I know that usually the “ideal” of news is that it’s supposed to be entirely unbiased, but those biases, if viewed in context and with their contradictions, are fundamental. It is up to the reader to interpret a text, as such their own biases will undoubtedly have an effect on what particular truth the text will hold with the reader. While an author infuses a text with their own truths, a reader necessarily distills it through their own experiential truths. As such, there are an infinitude of ways to interpret a text.

And honestly, it makes me feel kind of empty to just present a fact without expressing my thoughts on it. To deny commentary is to deny life itself. The point of life is to live, goddamnit! Your life should be full of as many experiences and as much beauty as you can fit!

The ideal legacy isn’t to craft some perfect image for yourself after you die, it’s not to be remembered for as long as possible, it’s to be remembered for as many things as possible.

Our legacies should all be trunks of notes, journals, annotations, scientific papers, philosophical treatises, poetry, prose, criticism, drafts of papers long forgotten, letters, thoughts, lists of things you enjoyed in life, scraps of paper you just can’t get rid of, lucky coins, pictures, anything and everything!

If we are to be alive, why not be alive in the fullest sense of the word? If we are to die, why not do so the fullest facet of ourselves? Why not leave behind as much of not just ourselves but the beauty and pain we’ve experienced?

There is a reason to remember the horrible: because it is that which is the most supremely beautiful.

if we look at the original timeline (aka annabeth and percy being born in 1993) then 2009 was a big year for annabeth bcus not only did the battle of manhattan take place and she finally started dating percy, but also minecraft came out and i think that would be a big deal to her

"Friends dont look at friends that way" COWARD. I look at my friends with awe in my eyes, my chest is filled with love, im glowing because i get to be near my friends. I look at my friends and i would give them my everything. SO SKILL ISSUE, look at your friends with all the love that you have

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

one of the weirdest experiences ive had being trans and out so far was when i went to the doctors about hrt and she walked me through the consent form (the one that tells you youre doing irreversible damage to your body and you're a freak) with a pen in her hand like crossing shit out and being like "this isn't true, this is actually completely false, this is totally an exaggeration" and it was stuff like "research on hrt is limited poor and speculative" or "hrt can increase risks of disease" or "testosterone makes you more violent and angry" like idk having it written in a way intended to make you feel like you're making a big mistake is one thing but the fact that the form has like literally proven false info in it and the doctor had to verbally be like sorry this isnt even true its just on there because society hates trans people. is wild

mom was describing a tattoo a girl once took her to a back bedroom to show her, which was a fishing pole low on her pelvis with a line and hook that descended into her bush where a small clownfish hid amongst the hair. and that’s just. that’s a goal. and the ultimate freedom from obligation, like “gah I would shave but it would ruin my very good joke, what are you gonna do, I gotta make sure there’s foliage for my little clownfish to hide in”

then mom finished telling me this and looked off for a moment. “my god,” she said. “she was flirting with me. fuck. goddamn it.”

Athena joined Annabeth's graduation ceremony

Percy contact Athena (I don't know how) and asked if she can join Annabeth's graduation. (Very brave ma boy)

Athena sounded uninterested. "I have no time to play house with you, child."

"But she is Annabeth!" said Percy. "After all she has done for you-"

Athena looked like she's gonna kill him with her eyes. Percy knew he went too far. A strong wind blew him away.

"You don't want to force me," said Athena with a surprisingly calm voice. "You may leave now."

Percy left her presence, upset but not surprised.

The day finally came. Annabeth was the happiest. Her arms were full of flowers.

Then they saw her.

"Mom?" said Annabeth, her eyes filled tears. She run to her, hugged without thinking a second. Athena didn't resist.

"Thank you for being here, mom"

"You should thank your... friend," said Athena.

Percy had never felt prouder.

The story was better in my head but you can fill the blanks

percy’s view of himself: i’m so stupid and ugly and useless. i’m such a lame demigod

literally everyone else’s view of percy:

[beanofpythagoras]

headcanon that even though percy and annabeth are borderline celebrities in their universe. and have saved the world countless of times. they still have side quests that no one fucking knows about. any and all side comments about that one weekend annabeth spent in prison or that one time percy faked of his own death in nebraska is enough to give their friends and family whiplash.

Why does the new photo of a black hole look so tasty? It’s like a beautiful, twisted donut and I want to eat it so much.

I don’t care if it eats me, at least I will be able to devour its presence.

#black hole #so yummy #yummy yum yum #science #donuts #physics #I think I’m getting better at tags???

The only reason why transphobes always ask “what is a woman” instead of “what is a man” is because we all know that a man is a featherless biped.
