i always assumed rick’s choice of athena kids having grey eyes was random but after 14 years i just found out yesterday that it’s literally in the fucking iliad that athena has grey eyes???

#I have an ancient history degree this is embarrassing #i literally never knew it was an actual reference #like to fucking homer????? #like I was sitting on the plane reading the iliad looking like shocked pikachu #either way it doesn’t matter because appearance is not important but it’s like wut #homer #the iliad #Athena #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tlt #pjo tv #pjo tv show #annabeth #annabeth chase

You can't tell [Joe] nothin'. Once his mind's made, he's doing it. I'm the same way.

#just like ja'marr's dad said <3 #they're both the same - so stubborn <3 #if joe really did want to jump out of a plane then i'm fascinated to see how ja'marr would 'not let him' 👀 #also love that joe texts ja'marr to come to LA and throw with him during the offseason #and ja'marr will come (if he feels like it) (i think he will) #ja'marr chase #joe burrow

"Space Shuttle Orbiter Enterprise soars above the North Base area of Edwards Air Force Base during its five-minute, 34-second unpowered flight, the third of a series of manned Shuttle Approach and Landing Tests (ALT-14). Moments earlier Enterprise had separated from its 747 carrier aircraft, atop which it sat upon takeoff from the Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC), with its crew of astronauts Fred W. Haise Jr., commander, and C. Gordon Fullerton, pilot. Three T-38 chase planes follow. This photograph was taken from a fourth T-38 chase plane."

The more my brain thinks about Annabeth Chase, the more implications of some of what they say comes to my head.

So Athena has her kids pop out of her head, right? Like she did? To get around the whole virgin goddess thing.

And she has them with humans that she forms a connection to - generally, anyway- with some sort of academic relationship, be that writing a paper, having an academic debate, what have you.

Imagine being the mortal parent.

You’ve just finished some big academic thing - be that an experiment or a paper or a class or whatever - and in the process you’ve met this woman who is incredibly intelligent and that you’ve developed a relationship- a purely platonic, completely not physical relationship- and you meet up with her to celebrate, maybe bring up some other ideas of things you could work on together, and she hands you a baby.

She tells you that she’s Athena, she’s enjoyed hanging out with you, here have a child made purely out of our combined brain power, you’ll probably never see me again.

Oh and when the kid grows up some they’ll start getting attacked by monsters that you probably won’t be able to see.

Like.

How do you respond to that?

i'm having a lot of fun on this ski trip but ngl every fiber of my being is chomping at the bit for the part where i get on a plane back home because Uninterrupted Writing Time Please This Story Is Haunting My Sleep I Will Know No Peace Until I Expunge It From My Body

#there's only so much writing one can do frantically tapping out words on a phone while shivering on a ski lift #also i am just always chasing a new Plane Writing High Score #that ATL-SEA flight remains the most transcendent writing experience of my life dreamy sigh

Bro he's FINALLY got SOMETHING to show for a DESIGN now. Oh my God. He's one of my oldest fucking OCs, he's been a part of the headcanon since 2019. Talk about showing up late to the party, yeesh!

...Anyways.

Meet Chase!

Does he look familiar? He should. He's Dusty's older brother, and they are the spitting image of each other (I swear sometimes they use that on purpose to freak people out). Although there are a few noticable differences between the two of them. Chase is a *little* bigger than Dusty, and humanized he is 6'1" to Dusty's 6'0". His eyes are also a little darker, little more purple-y. And his livery - based off of a fish in Sea of Thieves - makes him look like he was meant to be born in the 70s. Except he was born in 1988. Oh, and the sprayer. Cuz farmer, yada yada.

Chase is a rancher back in Montana where the Crophopper family used to live. He's married to a loving wife, and they've got one daughter (Dusty's much beloved neice). As of right now, Chase has not had any fics where he's actually been featured, aside from one fic that was written partway in 2019 and never released (it may as well be titled 'Crophoppers: the Lost Episode'). I would very much like to write a fic with him officially, but Lord knows, with my track record, there's no telling if or when that'll actually happen. But hey, this post was progress enough, he HAS a featured design now! Is it just a recolor I slapped on an image of Dusty because I was lazy? YES! Does it still function as a character introduction? Fuck you, yes it is and will be!

important to me that you know squabble rocket jumps

she is always doing stupid stunts that involve excessive amounts of explosives. luckily she's basically incapable of getting hurt worse than a skinned knee or bruise here and there cause she defies the laws of physics. it's a very good thing this is the case otherwise carrion would find ways to murder the inanimate objects she gets hurt on

carrion waits on squabbles every whim gladly and will not make any attempt to stop squabble from doing the dangerous things she wants to, but as long as he’s in the vicinity everything will work out conspicuously perfect

jerryjack thinks squabble is incredibly entertaining and would absolutely never remind her of basic safety precautions. they up the stakes constantly

rig is wholly unaware what's normal for a 12 year old to do so instead of interfering she just offers practical advice like ‘that amount of c4 is unnecessary for what you're trying to blow up. using less will make a better explosion’. despite that, she’s super anal about gun safety (though she does not see any issues with giving squabble a gun in the first place)

#my ocs currently live in the status quo of a slice of life comedy with action elements #the postal trio go around delivering packages and doing hits and having heartwarming misadventures #and jerryjack shows up every now and again to cause trouble and be entertained #they’ve settled into that life for like a year or so #squabble is how she is because she’s plucked straight out of a gag comedy. jury’s out whether she’s aware of the 4th wall or not #but rather than any superpower or godliness she’s powered by like. genre conventions #of course she can pull out a massive rpg from her small bag. or course she wouldn’t be hurt by a 50 foot drop #oc posting #their origin story is an action packed tragomedy #god i’ve gotta post about it i’m insane about them #they kill carrions dad and overthrow the nyafia trying to monopolize assassinations #and cry about their myriad of complexes and betrayals from before they knew each other at all #and laugh about stolen planes and smile about chasing their dreams and love that’ll last this time #among other things #squabble the pigeon #carrion the cat

“they’re still going at it!” how long has it been vs how long john fucks for seems to be called into question here

#john constantine #hellblazer #abby #and swamp thing technically #um. #technically it’s his body so he can go back to it whenever he wants but ALSO #this is because he was being chased by demons through the astral plane #so #there’s that.

"NASA 836"

The oldest and fastest F-15 in the world......

NASA 836 is a highly modified F-15B. It’s used for crew training, pilot proficiency and safety chase support for other research aircraft. It’s based at the agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California.

The jet first entered service in 1974 with the USAF. NASA acquired it in 1993 from the Hawaii Air National Guard. NASA then modified it to support their test programs. They made it 1,000 pounds lighter than any other F-15 flying in the world, and installed new modern engines. The age of the jet, combined with its lighter weight and more powerful Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-220 turbofan engines, makes 836 the oldest and fastest flying F-15 in the world. The engines can produce almost 24,000 pounds of thrust each in full afterburner. The crew regularly take the jet past Mach 2, at altitudes of 40,000 to 60,000 feet.

Space Shuttle Enterprise lands on runway 17 at Edwards Air Force Base with Astronauts Joe H. Engle, commander, and Richard H. Truly, pilot.

"Now Astronaut Truly took over, conducting additional control tests using the computer.'I was managing the energy so that I could give the aircraft back to Joe at the right airspeed, the right altitude and the right place in the sky,' said Truly.

'We had planned the mission so that I would fly the orbiter down to 2,000 feet, which we felt would be a good place to give Joe plenty of time to get the landing set up. Approaching Runway 15, Engle aimed at a patch of green grass near the edge of the lakebed, a landmark that was easy to spot.

After five minutes 28 seconds of free flight, Enterprise again touched down on the dry lakebed. She settled smoothly onto the runway at a measured distance of 680 feet from that target point. Again the orbiter made good use of the length of its landing strip, for it took over a minute to come to a stop, in a rollout that once more exceeded 10,000 feet.'"

On the right a T-38 chase plane comes in for a landing.

The Shuttle Orbiter Enterprise stirs up a cloud of desert sand and dust as it lands for Approach and Landing Test (ALT-13), free flight number 2.

"The ALT free flights are designed to verify orbiter subsonic airworthiness, integrated systems operations and pilot-guided approach and landing capability and satisfy prerequisites to automatic flight control and navigation mode."
