#camp culture

I don't think I'm meant to be employed. It really cuts into my goofy silly haha time. and it makes it nearly impossible to have any wow life is beautiful let me take it in time.

#guess what our employee appreciation gift was. a chair. 100+ dollars on a camping chair for each HQ employee? why not just... #i was just like gee. glad u appreciate me. u ever heard of how companies can shower u with free swag but it doesnt distract from the #horrible culture??? #like yes dont give us that 100 dollars but give me an ugly chair with our company logo that i had to lug up a hill. #im just tired of this aspect of HR i think. need me some new scenery

Do you think nicknames are a big thing in demigod culture?

There are lots of cultures where nicknames hold a lot of importance, like your family has a specific nickname they call you and your friends have a different specific thing they call you.

And in the world of pjo names/titles have power.

So maybe even more names/titles you have the more powerful you are. Like Poseidon also being known as Earth shaker and stormbringer, Nico being the ghost king, and Hylla earning the name Hylla twice kill.

So in demigod culture nicknames are a way to show you love someone but also a way to try to imbue them with power so that they'll be more likely to survive.

So for a demigod maybe there would be a specific nickname that demigod is called by their siblings (I'm pretty sure Luke calls Annabeth "Annie" at one point so maybe that's what her siblings call her?), a few nicknames used by friends (like when Piper and Leo called Jason Golden boy or sparky), and a nickname reserved for a demigod's significant other (seaweed brain and wise girl).

There's also the whole "don't name it or you'll get attached" concept that could factor in, considering how often demigods die.

So giving someone a nickname in demigod culture is a way of saying "I care about you, I want you to survive, so I'm going to run the risk of getting attached"

It would also explain why every time a new friend is made in pjo a nickname is one of the first things they get.

melanie worked as a camp counselor once as a teen and viscerally hated it and this explains 90% of her personality. martin worked as a camp counselor for many years in a row at a really understaffed camp and almost never had days off and this explains 90% of his personality. do you see the vision.

as the holidays come to a close, i'm left to wonder....

how does religion work in the pjo universe?

#pjo #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo hoo toa #pjo fandom #percy pjo #annabeth pjo #like i know rick riordan is a white goyische man #so he probably didn't think this through and just assumed that they all celebrated Christmas culturally #but how does religion play in the pjo universe #even if you're like christian do you just leave religion when you come to camp #like i understand that most kids are pretty irreligious and probably won't care about leaving religion #but as someone who went to religious school there's at least one kid who is devout as fuck and'll just keep practicing #also like plenty of religions practiced today are the same age as the ancient greek religion- ex. judaism and hinduism #how does that clash work-there were exchanges of jewish and hindu culture in the ancient greek era so it's safe to assume jewish and hindu #half-bloods would exist #also on the hindu can of worms- we are also a polytheistic religion #does belief in that renounce any connection to the greek gods #also the comedic potential of the clash in SO underutilized #i can see luke at some point just scraping the food into the hermes fire saying 'accept my offering- o g-d who is NOT greek' #or some other camper reciting the brahmarpanam or offering Du'a while offering food to the gods #you can't tell me at least one kid yelled up at the sky 'well i'm converting now! fuck you dad!'

"Most young patrollers who exchanged north of the Dead Lake took primed knives from home along. About half the patrollers returned, ready to take up expanded duties. None of the knives did. A steady stream of sacrifice, flowing northward."

patrilineal raised secular half-Jewish culture is never feeling Jewish enough until you realize that you'd be Jewish enough to get sent to a concentration camp. And if you're Jewish enough for the antisemites, why the hell can't you be Jewish enough for yourself and for a community?!

anyways college is exhausting but I found a synagogue for the first time in October and I don't go at all regularly but I Do go and it's beautiful ✨️

i think the reason i find jason so interesting is because the lore surrounding him is so interesting but he comes across so straightlaced which suggests to me that he does this on purpose. he forces himself into this persona of perfection and "conceal don't feel" and it fascinates me. like there's the whole thing where there are expectations for jason, as the son of jupiter and juno's champion, add to that the fact that it is implied that the romans have far less contact with the gods and especially major gods than even the greeks, and that up until very recently, jason was the only child of the big three *chef's kiss* then when you think about the emphasis on hierarchy and obedience in the roman camp and jupiter being more associated with aspects of governance than zeus, and imagine feral 'i was raised by wolves' toddler!jason being molded to fit in and groomed to lead. and consider the history of the children of jupiter, and jupiter's own history with patricide, and his father's history with patricide, and how jason is already under scrutiny for the circumstances he was born under, an oath sworn on the Styx being broken by the god of oaths who was the only one to break it on the roman side, so jason must be under a lot of pressure. he can't mess up, he doesn't get that luxury. not only does he have to be perfect, he also has to be obedient and subservient to the gods, but also a great leader to his people, and also be as inoffensive and unobtrusive as possible, but also mediocrity is not an option and he has to stand out and be tuly great but also not too great and become a threat to the gods. he is so fascinating

#jason grace #jason grace posting #i'm obsessed #the roman camp presents so many opportunities that just weren't capitalized on #partially because i feel like rick didn't really delve into how the romans treated their religion #and how it differed from the greeks #the myths and stories themselves are nearly equivalent #but their context in everyday life were so different #rick really just wrote them as the greeks but more distant from the gods and more warlike but also worse at war ??? #the roman empire lasted a whole lot longer than the greeks did #and were the direct successors to the hellenic kingdoms #they took everything the greeks did and honed and perfected it #along the way absorbing stuff from everyone around them #from culture to religion #but also where greek heroes were demi gods who completed supernatural and mythical tasks #roman heroes tended to not necessarily be demigods and their heroic deeds had more to do with civic duty

#this is a bit of a weird poll it was hard to figure out the options sorry #but i wanted to ask bc im in the 'i know the names and lore of a few chars but nothing more' camp #and yet reimu is like one of my favorite chars of all time ive made her my icon and stuff... but i barely consider myself a 'touhou fan' #touhou just exists in a kind of weird space like that bc of its cultural impact

[decaffeinatedpartymuggoop]

Percy’s first few chapters with camp half blood piss me off looking back. I just got chased by the Minotaur?? I was forced to kill a mythological creature hours within knowing they exist?? My MOTHER IS DEAD?!?!!

Imagine your moms dead, you just found out your dad is a Greek god. He’s NOT claiming you, you have to prove yourself first. All the weird instances that happened in your childhood are starting to come into place. Oh, and there’s a few kids giving you the stink eye cause that should’ve been them.

Like I love Clarisse and Annabeth but if someone was giving me shit for nearly dying and being unhappy we’d be boxing.

#it also goes to show how camp culture is tho #like these kids think there creates achievement will be a near death experience #or just straight up dying #it’s so sad #Annabeth wanting to go on a quest even tho there’s a high chance she’ll die #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo series #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo hoo toa #anyway Percy’s better than me I’d have beef for the rest of my life
