so in HoO we get a totally unaddressed thing about the Hephaestus cabin apparently have an underground tunnel system beneath their cabin that they’ve been excavating for almost a century and haven’t found the end to yet. We never hear about this again. But when Jake Mason is explaining it, he jokes to Will Solace that “You Apollo guys can’t have all the fun,” which implies the Apollo cabin also has secrets.

Anyways I think we should just start headcanoning random wild secret areas of each cabin just for fun.

#pjo #hoo #heroes of olympus #riordanverse #why did we just move on from the massive underground tunnel system under cabin 9 apparently unrelated to the maze. what. hello. #like no no no. go back. tell me more. #IS it related to the maze? #were there two entrances to the maze in chb? one in cabin 9 and one in the woods? #anyways my hc is that cabin 7 has a secret DDR machine #the other cabins know OF it but theyve never been able to confirm or deny if it's real (it is) #nor been able to find it #i also hc that cabin 10 has multiple bathrooms and they just dont tell anybody #every other cabin has like maybe one bathroom and then the shared outdoor ones #except for cabin 13 which when Nico renovated he totally went ''fuck it. 3 bathrooms. who's gonna stop me'' #cause i firmly believe nico renovated cabin 13 to be a decently sized cabin but also just A Normal House #so both him and hazel get their own bathrooms and then theres a guest one #i have too many very specific headcanons about the layouts of each cabin

it's funny how americans can understand that not everyone who lives in a red state automatically agrees with the reactionary policies of republicans there, but not that not everyone who lives in a foreign country that does awful shit is automatically supportive of its reactionary policies

#political crap #in fact quite frankly sometimes people who live in a country have a better idea of what's going on than americans #like when they deny racism to eastern europeans is a thing (and as a brit sadly i can confirm it's very much a problem here) #just because all white people in present day america are very assimilated together #except maybe russians (which they just use as an excuse to attack people condemning russophilia when they're tankies and/or contrarians)

The Dndads finale campaign was great and intense and i have ThoughtsTM but i have a personal subjective moral aversion to 'decades later epilogue where everything is great actually we promise' as a narrative device

therefore if i ever write anything post- Willy Death it will purpousefully and spitefully refute at least ONE thing from the epilogue because Anthony Burch will not All Was Well me

#I feel like thats the sort of good natured spitefulness that this entire cast is full of #dndads #dndads s2 #dndads spoilers #probably mostly as jokes ofc #like 'Taylor overtly says NFTs are stupid' or some shit #I'm sure gothcleats fans are thrivin and good for yall honestly #Admittedly i never expected my ships to be canon (except maybe Swiftli that felt like it had a real chance) #But like it's more the 'aww everyones in better places when they were older' epoligue as a CONCEPT that gets me #so don't get it twisted this isn't from a 'how dare my ship not be canon' place of spitefulness #this is just my personal beef with a specific literary trope #(honestly my ideal shipping end in canon would have been nothing confirmed or denied but c'est la vie ya know?)

Things To Make August (the Month of Existential Dread) Bearable

Pray. A lot.

Plan little summer adventures.

Write a fun little retelling (and hopefully finish it).

Read an Elizabeth Goudge book (Book 3 of the Elliot trilogy seems right, because Book 2 is coming to mind a lot as an appropriate summer book).

Remember that sunflowers exist. Find lots of them.

#random thought of the day #i had considered canceling august #just denying its existence and pretending it's july ii #because the whole month always feels like living beneath a guillotine blade that's about to drop #a downhill from summer and a dread of autumn and nothing actually good in and of itself #except for maybe sunsets when the melancholy at least feels a little right #but i've decided to embrace it and maybe find a better atmosphere for it #(yes i do have a specific retelling in mind) #(if you've been following the writing blog you know which one it is) #(but i'm not naming it because saying it aloud puts too much pressure on it) #(and this is supposed to be a pressure-free fun project) #(plus i recognize that i've not yet reached the one week mark) #(where i lose interest in most fun new projects) #(so i acknowledge the likelihood that in like 2-3 days i'll no longer want to write it) #(but for now i hold onto hope and think it has just the right vibe to make august something better)

Also stealing for a future fic

“Use your turn signal!”

“What, and give information to my enemies? I don’t think so.”

#saw a bumper sticker that evoked glitra in me instantly #Catra is so repressed she won’t use her turn signal like the dramatic cat she is #Catra won’t signal anything #except maybe desperation #but she’ll deny that one till she dies #glimmer is less than impressed

need to get hot enough for the very important big boss lady who I’ve never spoken to, is old enough to be my mother and is probably straight (i think married?) to fall in love with me

#maybe it’s her accent #but if you ask me I will deny it because she’s English and I’ll be in my grave before I publicly say an English accent is kind of hot #except for the geordie’s i’ll say that one loud

FUNNY STORY ABOUT THAT PSOT ACTUALLY. I've adapted a few of your guys' likenesses into fiction people that I don't actually know in real life but have told my friend that I know and regularly interact with

#wordstag #umm friend I probably have talked about before but I'm not keeping up with fake names so she's like......... flutist number one #ON that. Flutist number one #she's a flutist #duh #she knows a LOT of people and I just. Don't #but I enjoy listening to her talk about people! Pretty fun. Will never meet them. #she started joking about how she could be lying about the people and making up stuff and it literally wouldn't change anything for me #and I would probably never confirm or deny anything at all #but she wanted me to like. Share my exhilarating life stories #those don't exist #SO since she said I'm allowed to. Blatantly lie about a person's existence. I've been stealing my tumblr mutuals identities #and plugging them into the story of my life #which sounds really weird saying it out loud #I PROMISE it's not weird. I just stole the idea of you and fabricated it into a part of my life to tell my friend about #duh. #average behavior #also all the flutists are the exact same freaking person except for The Boy #and MAYBE one other person #added in for diversity points

the way dotc handles clear sky’s ““redemption”“ for lack of a better word is so. hm! i just don’t think either of these explanations are particularly good at justifying everything he had done to this point

+

“im sad my sister died” and “i can’t handle responsibility” are both pretty weak motivations erins

#warrior cats #deer rambles #redeeming myself after that comic by sharing these #i get why ppl like him #except i dont he fuckign sucks #i wish he had viciously denied any sort of wrongdoing #and continuously made excuses for himself #refusing to admit that he's in the wrong #and idk maybe when one-eye/slash happen they can have clear sky see himself in htme #also taking a break from asks #im gonna clean up a comic today and post that #then that's probably gonna be it for a while

having so so many queen vanessa thoughts today

#a hat in time #rambles #maybe i will work up enough courage to . say them #my feelings on her are complicated and by complicated i mean i like her a lot actually #her voice is nice. her motivatjons are incredibly interesting. she is also a Bad Person and i will not deny this #thinking thinking thinking #oh and thay i dislike a lot of popular characterizations of her in fanfiction but i dont know how to word my thoughts on that exactly #like even though snatcher js my favorite character rhat does not mean i ahve 2 hate vanessa i think #really i am just not good at disliking fictional characters #(except for cronus honestuck i will have his head on a pike)

"you are being extra goth today admin" well you see I got emotional thinking about how Eight would stumble back to Jadus after KOTFE/ET with all his adventures and experiences in hand and tell him everything and how it made him realize he loves others but loving them hurts him in a way he can barely comprehend, and that this loneliness is a poison enough to kill...

what do you think of this pain of mine, o lord? is it not unlike anything you've ever tasted? he'd ask across their bond, with a smile so radiant that its light surely would belong to some distant star-- nothing so flesh and blood.

then he'd bury himself in his embrace and whisper how he can no longer stand to be apart from him. even the walls of their physical bodies entwined this close are another separation he can't bear. the darkest parts of the universe are the only place he can live now, with the hearts of men having rejected him thrice over.

so please, he'd murmur, when it all becomes too much-- when your body fails you-- when there comes a time where I can't follow-- take me. take me whole. I promise I'll give you this world and all that my eyes have seen of it.

Jadus understands immediately. It is the one request his Hand has made that he cannot fulfill, if he does not find a way to preserve this fleeting spark of light that has made its way into the dark sanctuary of his being. He will take him, and he will be taken by him-- and he will lose him.

It is a fresh pain he has not felt in nigh over a decade. Not since the early days of his youth, those memories that have never resurfaced from the murky abyss of his tempered mind. He thanks him for this gift. None other could compare, to serve him so faithfully to the ends of his universe and further still. To place at the altar of adoration his own suffering and love, every experienced agony a tribute to the one he places above all.

For that, Jadus must betray him. His Hand, beloved by the dark, will be consumed by the void he lays with so willingly. This future will not come to pass. So is his will. So will he return his bride to that world of suffering he longs to escape.

When the last vestige of his agony has sputtered and died, he will return.

Call the object of my hatred. I have a mission you must carry out.

A single beacon rings.

#swtor #jadorre #for context: I realized Eight would be so lonely that he would ask for his body to be possessed by Jadus someday so they wouldn't be apart #in his in-game timeline he failed to find his answer in other people #his answer was that others would never accept him. he would never find a home amongst them #and so he requests to be taken fully by jadus bc he feels so much agony except in his arms #yet even their bond is not enough now #and Jadus though he WOULD oblige him it makes sense and who is he to deny his beloved Hand #in a final act of his generosity and his duplicity sends him away from him. #because though he has done so countless time to all his other retainers and consumed them #this is the one he would feel more loss at taking than not #this monster can feel loss? maybe. maybe not. but he can betray. #and so he will betray him to cipher nine and have him take him away #and if nine fails to free him from his torment #he will reduce them to the last atom and fulfill Eight's last request #such is the respect and hatred he has for the last soul to best him #YEP THIS IS THE PRECURSOR TO ALLIANCE ALERT.

~~~~DO NOT REBLOG~~~~

Not to be that person but I've been reading some critiques of totk and how it handles imperialism (and perpetuates pro-imperialist sentiment), and it makes me feel like I'm standing on the sidelines tapping my foot anxiously cause while I agree with the general argument cause yes it does in fact have pro-imperialist sentiment it fails to point out that it comes from Japan. Japan with its own history of imperialism and imperialism apologism specifically. So it's very close to but slightly off mark and makes me frustrated. Especially since this is not the only time Nintendo has inserted pro-imperialist sentiment (looking at you Po/kemon legends:arce/us) and How You Are Not Immune to Propaganda (@ Nintendo devs).

But I refuse to speak of it in detail as I am not Japanese, I am not Asian, and I'm too unqualified (both temporally with relation to my studies and also not in-depth enough) to speak on the subject.

So I'll just sit here. Leg stimming anxiously like I have restless leg syndrome cause yeah I completely agree but I would normally go about explaining why in a slightly different direction but alas I should not and will not.

The only, only thing I will say though, if to make this post relevant to anyone reading this, is that people need to understand that one has to approach Hyrule through the lens that it is created by a Japanese company. The Hyrule religion is based on the Japanese state religion and specifically inspired by the kind that emerged after the Meiji Revolution. This is pertinent to understanding the Hylia lore and Zelda and why the monarchy is Like That, and why it keeps popping up again and again and why they refuse to move away from that model. And this directly ties into the Japanese pro-imperialist sentiment we see in these games.

#I am not tagging this #except maybe #the Discourse #the pro-imperialist sentiment that seeps into this game is part of the reason I cant enjoy this game As Much as bo/tw #not that bo/tw was clean by any means in that department #cause you can feel some problems there but they're not as Relevant to ingame present times excluding the Yiga maybe #but yeah to/tk has some Big problems with that #I can accept that it is flaws with Rauru as a person #but also eugh #anyway I reccomend all of you to study Japan's modern mythos #and how the myth of the Emperor and how the Meiji government revolutionize while cementing the grounds that will become Imperial Japan #and how and why Imperial Japan was like that and what they did #and how just like in the West with its imperialism #Japan seeks to revise history and deny their atrocities and continue to do so #anyways #This is not an anti-Shinto-ism post I am not against its existence #but like many religions it can and has been weaponized by Imperialism #and again I am not attacking anyone #I just think there should be discussion here about these things specifically #edited: for clarity

#[ ooc || out of control ] #ive honestly never really thought much about nnoitras scar except for the physical consequences of the injury #so that was a really good thought and writing exercise. I might change my mind with some more thought on it but for now im happy with this #as with all things its somewhat of a complicated manner #theres the emotional injury (which grimmjow is ignoring) which adds so much weight to the scar #it just feels like such a mark of failure #it was so inconsequential to nnoitra. he did the damage with such ease #grimmjow has always ALWAYS felt like such a small fish in a large pond and i think his fight with ichigo was meant to finally allow him to #grow out of that self defeating self destructive and beastial mentality (which wa representative of the general hollow pov & not exclusive #to just grimmjow himself ) and then nnoitra comes in and immediately denies him (and HM) that growth #like from a literary analysis point of view the lesson (which i believe is quite in line with nnoitras general hollow mantra) is that growt #for hollows is impossible #and should be denied and rejected at every turn becasue there is no HOPE for them there is no FUTURE in which they will be accepted #the best and only thing a hollow can do is Die. And Grimmjow should have taken the opportunity to die on a shinigami blade #at least then the would reincarnate. but no he was stubborn and tried to take more than the desert owed him an nnoitra would be his reminde #its a confusianist perspective that seems a little at odds with Nnoitras general symbolism? but simultaneously aligns with Aizens and the #overarching theme of the espada in general (which i dont personally believe was intentional on Kubos part but maybe?) #idk i guess i have more to say but its not quite a fully formed thought

also obligatory plot point where chrysi moves away from the baskerville manor and gil doesn’t see her again until they’re grown up + she’s a lot more elegant and refined now and gil doesn’t recognize her until vincent’s like, “wasn’t she that girl that strung you up to the tree and laughed at you for half an hour before she finally let you down?” well. apparently it IS that girl, but gil defs didn’t realize that when he’d been talking to her earlier!!!

#talking is a very generous term for it. because now chrysi’s a pretty girl and gil gets dizzy around pretty girls + can’t think straight #but yeah!!! she moved back in w gavriel ig WHICH MEANS JACKS CHILDHOOD FRIEND JEALOUSY IS BACK ON THE MENU!!!!!!! #like sure.. maybe gil knew chrysi as his tormentor BUT before she moved nearby she lived w jacks and the other fates #which means jacks OUTRANKS GIL!! so there!!! #also jacks knows abt chrysi’s illness and he’ll hold all his secret chrysi knowledge over gil’s head. you can’t win here prettyboy! #but um i think in a rare moment of accurate instinct gil realizes chrysi’s stifled herself to a point of damage under gavriel’s guardianshi #and so he tries to help her find herself again <33 oh also generic plot beats where they fall in love in the process #but then when gil’s confronted by someone abt his feelings for chrysi—he denies them up and down #and chrysi obvi overhears and is like ‘:) okay cool. hw doesn’t love me or care for me.’ and she distances herself to the point of stranger #miscommunication is awesome and cool and perfect except when i don’t like it btw #memorie.txt #s.chrysigil #au.childhood tormentor
