the problem with all these white authors like rick riordan who are revealing their stances on the israel-palestine apartheid is that they barely do anything but virtue signal when they claim “i’m on the side against war” “i’m anti-violence” “i abhor terrorism.” zero people are going to disagree with you. zero people believe what hamas did is justified. zero people think israel shouldn’t have a right to defend itself against terrorism. but that isn’t what israel is doing when they collectively punish all of palestine, who doesn’t even have an official army. when rick riordan says some wishy-washy bullshit about the violence suffered on both sides of the conflict, and words his whole dumbass blog post like it’s violence that is in any way equal, that literally helps no one. in fact, it’s so damn negligent of the 75 years of violence that palestine has suffered and been oppressed for. yes, there are innocent civilians in israel who are suffering, no one is disagreeing with you. that doesn’t erase the fact that israel is a disgusting state that has used state-sanctioned violence on a systemic scale since its conception, and the oppressed people have responded to that in violent retaliation (because OBVIOUSLY they would). israel is built on the subjugation of palestine, there is no equal suffering between the two.

1. Holy shit I am so happy I found another person who gets how smart Percy is, and gets that every instance of Percy looking/getting called stupid is due to his dyslexia or people not telling him anything.
2. Which book/chapter is this from? I need to bookmark it ASAP and start shouting it from the metaphorical tumblr hills.
3. We really don't talk about how good a mom Sally is? Like yeah she's badass and gentle but like. She respects Percy. When the school system failed Percy, she's the one who still not only believed that he was smart but still acted like it and probably taught him too. Queen mom Sally Jackson right there.
1.) YEAHH EXACTLY. Or his ADHD 😭 It drives me NUTS whenever Percy is treated as the dumb + comedic guy. Like I get what they're saying and why they're saying it, but sometimes his character gets reduced to JUST that and it hurts my soul. I get that he's funny as a narrator and as a character and sometimes he can be a little "clueless" but it just feels like some people like to think of that as either all he is or a huge part of who he is. I believe I've also seen Leo get this treatment despite literally being insanely smart at such a young age so. that's...fun. They can be funny and smart too 😞
2.) It's from the 10th Anniversary edition of The Lightning Thief! It's Rick's cover letter for the first readers of the manuscript & a note from the narrator. I don't have a copy of that edition myself, but I've seen some pictures of it on Rick's blog and someone posted one of the pages on Reddit (where I got it from).
Here's the full page from Reddit (source) & the picture from Rick's blog where the page is visible (source):

3.) YEEEAHHHH I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! What I would do to get adopted by her rn. The way she talks to him makes me kinda teary-eyed because she's just so...you can just tell how much she loves Percy and that she would do anything to make sure he grew up resilient and kind in a world that's always out to get him. She believes in him so much that it just makes me lose my mind a little. It's just so sweet and I can't help but feel so moved by it.
I'm not sure if you've read Chalice of the Gods, but there's this scene where (spoilers, kinda) Sally talks to Percy after the whole thing with Hebe and honestly this scene makes me want to sob and cry and weep

I don't normally like talking about personal stuff online but... I've been feeling... Angry lately like really angry. Maybe it's just me spending way too much time with the PJO fandom. I keep throwing things and I want to just cry. But any time I'm angry it's like Riordanverse related... It's like I can't do the things I want on my Insta page. Anytime I try doing something I want l get people whining at me. I do often blame myself for being a people pleaser but... Fans started complaining about me doing Jasico or attack me for having my take on Nico di Angelo as aroace. Like what's wrong with being aroace? Nothing!
They just want me to do Solangelo this and that because everyone else is doing it. I don't want to do that, I wanna do the things I want, not what they want. I feel like I'm a slave and I have to do the things that the fans say or they'll unfollow, block, and bully me. I love Percy Jackson and all but.. in the Hunger Games fandom I feel more carefree and the fans actually like my artwork and they don't mistreat me. They let me do what I can headcanon and whatever AU, that's what the THG fan base does. But when it's PJO, it's like how the fans do in the PJO fandom, they whine and bully. Fuck they even harass people for drawing the original trio from the books on Twitter (Of course it has to be that platform where everyone is mental..) What the flying hell is wrong with you people!!?
Bullying someone or even a young CHILD for having an opinion and wanting to draw the book version? If people can't draw the book version, then why is everyone drawing both movie and book versions of Harry Potter? Explain that to me? Also the Percy Jackson fandom is by far the worst fandom I've ever seen. It's just as bad as the Harry Potter fandom (do not get me started with that atrocity of a fan base)
I don't hate good Percy Jackson and Harry Potter fans, I'm just so tired of being treated like I can't do the things I want. I can't headcanon Nico as aroace and I can't have an AU where Jason and Percy hate each other. I'm honestly just tired of the Percy Jackson fans bullshit, picking on other fans because they have a unpopular opinion or they can't draw their take on percabeth. I'm tired of toxicity and toxic people that crumple other people's enjoyment. I'm tired of being bullied, having people spread stuff about me behind my backs (I'm looking at you HTTYD fans on Instagram), cyber stalking, and having my work reposted to be shit on because its an OC of mine.
Hopefully the Hunger Games fandom is at least not as toxic as the Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, MLP, and HTTYD fandoms. Just to know, I'm not pointing fingers at good fans, they have nothing to do with this. I'm pointing at the toxicity and the bullying these toxic crybabies do to destroy people's enjoyment. It's okay to have headcanons on said character, it's normal. It doesn't go against canon, just let ppl have their fun..

petition for Cuphead to learn a goddamn lesson and gain more character development, and also for Mugman to curse and explore both of their psyches.
As much as I love him, Cuphead needs to learn not to go neglect his responsibilities for fun, Mugman needs to curse like he rightfully deserves, and I'm actually curious about their childhood and why they ended up the way they are. Instead of just using their impulsiveness and cheeriness (Cuphead) and sociopathic signs (Mugman) for laughs I want to find out how they ended up like that. I like the comedy of the show, I just want it to actually bring tension when it wants to and explain its characters thoroughly and understandably. Just want it to be more serious and character-driven.
I have a lot of questions about them:
Why doesn't Cuphead show off his piano skills more?
Why isn't Cuphead angry that Ludwig didn't show up instead of having some kind of accepting but not surprised disappointment?
Why does Mugman have such bad anger issues and tries to protect his brother so much? Ik they're brothers but rewatching the show there seems to be more to his protectiveness than just wanting to protect him for his (Cuphead's) own good.
A BIG question: Why does Mugman say "I know what it's like to be abandoned." when they both have been abandoned by Chalice? But then I realized that wasn't what he was talking about, it was a completely different event in his life, an event we haven't SEEN YET. What is it?
How does Mugman manage to do all of those skills? (sword-fighting with a giant crab, catapulting on a mountain, etc.)
Why doesn't Mugman get hot or cold (he got hot in Sweater Off Dead, but you notice he doesn't anymore)
Why does Cuphead lie about not being worried about things?
Why does Mugman worry so much?
Why can't Mugman play the piano?
So yeah, just a petition to have some things explained in the show. Let me know what you guys think in the comments.

So far I'm really enjoying the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles by the way. The themes in it seems to take itself a lot more seriously than the original Ace Attorney Trilogy, and while it does have its own strange cast of characters, it feels a lot more realistic, if that makes sense. There are parts of it that are 'out there' but it feels more grounded to the universe itself. You can really see where Phoenix gets his tendency to find the truth in every case from.
#also van zieks seems cool if a bit um#odd#like are you allowed to drink wine in court sir. are you allowed to smash your chalice around the courtroom#are you allowed to gain Style Points by putting your booted foot on the damn prosecution desk#sir saying 'i'm sorry if it offends the court' doesn't make the fact you're actively doing this stuff any less. ya know--?#but for a prosecutor in an ace attorney game he seems largely interested in getting the facts straight rather than outright winning#and it's also very interesting that he doesn't get his reputation based on some flawless win record but because of the misfortune that#the defendants he prosecutes tend to undergo#ALSO THE FUCKING THIRD CASE#I AM FUCKING LIVID /POS#great ace attorney really looked at the reputation most ace attorney games have#for the third case in the games and went 'actually no'#augh i am Livid#also that whole court system is also pretty neat with the jury#though i want to wrangle them for jumping to conclusions so fucking fast#also karumaaa i knew that'd happen to you but whyyy whyyy aoughh#surely there are fanfics out there where That Incident doesn't happen and they make it to britain and things are All Right In The End#ALSO I LOVE HOW HIS CONFIDENCE AS A LAWYER JUST GROWS AND HOW IT'S SHOWN IN LIKE#THE ANIMATIONS AND IN HIS OBJECTIONS AND STUFF THAT'S JUST SO COOL#but also why does susato have to be so. young#i think i've seen some fan implications implying that they canonically end up together#which would make her phoenix's ancestor as well but#karuma's like 23 and naruhondo is at least around that age too#and she's like. 15 or 16. so#hope they don't end up together#gives me the same uncomfortable vibes as phoenix and maya as a couple#anyway i'm rambling#thanks for reading these tags if you did lol#van zeiks... hmm#curious lad. i wasn't sure i'd like him at all at first but he seems like a fairly reserved prosecutor for the most part
