how do you think Jason felt knowing he looked like Luke Kronos? how do you think this kid, this child who’d been raised to be a soldier, who is so fundamentally good and tries so hard, felt when he realized why the greek campers were uneasy around him.
not because he was roman. the greeks didn’t care about that. but because he was tall. lean. blond hair, blue eyes. facial scar. brotherly disposition.
someone who’d looked just like Jason had been a leader at this Camp. someone who’d looked just like Jason had been a brother here. someone who’d looked just like Jason had taken their trust and shredded it, had turned their siblings against them, had sabotaged their home, had caused so many deaths in his war to destroy Olympus, to be noticed by his father. (something Jason also desperately wants.)
Hera had sent Jason to replace Percy—the leader, the hero. but how was he meant to do that when all any of them could think when they looked at him was traitor?
Drawing in mspaint? Cool, impressive,
But whenever I see that, I think about the person who makes their art in power point
Every time I see them it boggles me
WERE YOU SENT BY SOMEONE WHO WANTED ME DEAD? DID YOU SLEEP WITH A GUN UNDERNEATH OUR BED? WERE YOU WRITING A BOOK? WERE YOU A SLEEPER CELL SPY? IN FIFTY YEARS WILL ALL THIS BE DECLASSIFIED? AND YOU'LL CONFESS WHY YOU DID IT! AND I'LL SAY 'GOOD RIDDANCE!' CAUSE IT WASN'T SEXY ONCE IT WASN'T FORBIDDEN. I WOULD'VE DIED FOR YOUR SINS, INSTEAD I JUST DIED INSIDE. AND YOU DESERVE PRISON BUT YOU WON'T GET TIME! YOU'LL SLIDE INTO INBOXES AND SLIP THROUGH THE BARS! YOU CRASHED MY PARTY AND YOUR RENTAL CAR! YOU SAID NORMAL GIRLS WERE BORING, BUT YOU WERE GONE BY THE MORNING! YOU KICKED OUT THE STAGE LIGHTS, BUT YOU'RE STILL PERFORMING! AND IN PLAIN SIGHT YOU HID. BUT YOU ARE WHAT YOU DID, AND I'LL FORGET YOU, BUT I'LL NEVER FORGIVE THE SMALLEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED
already can't pretend to care about the male loneliness epidemic because it isn't real but listening to the way men actually talk about their friends/what they think friendship entails makes me care even less sorry
Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.
