#ive never really seen anyone talk about this

[tsireyast]

I feel like we dont talk about one of the main reasons nico was ostracized at camp, not just because hes a son of hades.

Camp half blood is small enough so that rumors and information spread fast, but that doesn't mean they are always right. So imagine you're a random camper, and you're told nico, one of the new campers, gets in a big fight with Percy. During which he makes skeletons appear and somehow opens a huge crack in the floor. But percy wins and nico leaves camp.

Don't you think it would've rang a bell?

Don't you think it would've reminded them too much of two summers ago, with luke?

Dont you think everyone would've been even more scared, because now they know nico is a child of hades, one of the big three, and therefore very powerful?

There must have been so many rumors that summer of nico being part of the kronos army. Betraying camp just like luke did.

Of course after the battle of manhattan many people would've changed their minds. Hes in their side now, after all. But there are probably still many campers who think nico left them to join luke, before he changed their mind and helped them win against luke and kronos. People who still hold a grudge against him for joining the "enemy".

#i havent read the battle of the labyrinth in a while so aorry if this gets cleared up by then #ive never really seen anyone talk about this #nico being a son of hades cant be the only reason hes not well liked by camp #of course hes just emo and traumatized and thinks everyone hates him when they dont but i dont think he was exactly popular at camp #and also this has been in my mind for a few days #i just love nico hes so sad and traumatized #my poor little guy #he got misjudged by so many people for a out of context rumor that got changed and twisted as it spread #obviously at first percy told the truth to chiron and annabeth andnother people who came to ask “yo what happened with the new kid” #(will definitely asked him) (he met nico in the infirmary and had a crush on him since) #i mean everyone must have been curious as to why the floor of the dining pavillion was all broken #but as rumors do it just turned into a broken telephone situation where the story got more and more dramatic #if you asked some (very exaggerated)people they would tell you he tried to kill percy and he was actually sent by luke to camp #percy jackson #pjo #camp half blood #heroes of olympus #nico di angelo #solangelo #pjo headcanon #percy series

literally nobody asked for it, but here's my list of saltburn essays that i've slowly been drafting over the course of the last week which WILL be required reading for anybody trying to engage with me about this movie. my very personal saltburn 101 syllabus just dropped

A Wolf in Deer's Clothing: Saltburn's Attempt at Innocence

an examination of party costumes and our character's last attempts to masquerade as something they're not: felix—an angel, all-forgiving and all-knowing, something to be worshiped; and oliver—a prey animal, prey to class-divide, prey to saltburn, prey to felix.

thoughts about oliver specifically are loosely organized in my #bambi tag

A Midsummer Night's Mare: Farleigh Start as the Ultimate Victim of Saltburn

a farleigh character study, about the ways he was mistreated and manipulated at saltburn, about fighting to stay alive and the scars left behind by knowing when to give in

alternatively titled "QuickStart", may be adapted into a conclusive essay specifically focusing on oliver and farleigh's relationship

The Eye of the Beholder: On Saltburn's Voyeurism & Violence [working title]

how wealth and class pushes the catton's toward the volatile reality of being able to look, but not touch. on desire and the lack thereof, and portraying yourself as an object to be desired

may end up as two separate essays on wealth and aestheticism but i'm pushing toward a conclusive essay about the intersection of the two, which i feel is at the heart of saltburn

alternatively titled "Poor Man's Pudding: A Melvillian Approach to Saltburn's Class", again, may be adapted into it's own essay

Gender-Fluid: A Study in Sexuality and Saltburn's Desire to be Dry

a deep dive into the bodily fluids of saltburn and how oliver upsets the standard of men who are just so lovely and dry. on the creative choice to lean into the messy wetness of sex and desire and the audience's instinct toward repulsion

a celebration of the grotesque and an examination of why we would label it as such

least developed of the four, heavily inspired by @charnelpit's lovely post about the fluids in saltburn

if anybody is actually interested in any of these, i can work toward something closer to a finished piece instead of just bullet points and quotes in a google doc, but mostly this is so i can share my very brief takes on a multitude of themes in saltburn that have been haunting me

edit for people seeing this in the future: all posts about my essays are being organized into my #saltburn 101 tag if you’re interested in following these through to development!

#saltburn #saltburn posting #really desperately need someone to pay me to write saltburn essays all day #or else these will never be more than a smattering of bullet points #and these are only the most developed of the millions of the thoughts that i've had rolling around in my brain this last week #idk if lengthy meta-essays are interesting to literally anyone other than me #but if any of these speak to u and u have thoughts abt them #of course u are welcome to send them my way #i think all of these were born out of either seeing bad fandom takes (ie. everything ive seen about farleigh and oliver) #or rly good fandom takes that haven't been talked about enough like the fluids thing #anyway #oh also if u want any interview clips that back up any of these ideas i have a list thats like a million miles long #and would be happy to dig for any specific things im talking about here #bambi #also also im sorry i kno the colon in academic essay titles is so overused i just love a subtitle sm #i love love love a clever little essay title. titling my essays was literally my favorite part of the essay process in college #saltburn 101

#man ive never seen an eating disorder kill someone else besides a parent infecting a child but my nana is really trying #shes like 1000% orthotexic. will not eat anything not filled with vegetables or fat. and my grandpa is 87yo with a heart condition currentl #in the hospital for covid bc thry went to Christmas church and dont believe in being vaccinated and my dad is so frustrated #bc he knows his mom is not gonna give his dad hearty foods. he needs to eat like protein shakes and meat and ice cream. anything thats not #her cooking which sucks on top of being extremely healthy. except its not healthy bc they dont eat a balanced diet #so its my nanas eating disorder killing her husband and shes so fucking frustrating. im like 99% sure she has obsessive compulsive #personally disorder bc she fits to a T and has zero insight. she may have full on 0cd bc talking to my dad he has more obvious 0cd #compulsions than i do. he used to say phrases before going to bed and would take 2 steps across the floor to prevent bad things from #happening. so like im pretty sure my nana is where i get my perfectionism and 0cd. god. i wish i could express how fucked up she is #like my dad said at least he had a stable home to grow up in but like she has zero sympathy for other people. cannot look past herself. wil #not wear a mask bc she doesnt care enough abt other ppl. my dad was like: u would not have survived in that house. which is fair bc i am #barely keeping it together coming from a stable home with two sympathetic parents who i know love me #and like its sad that they're suffering the effects of buying into the fox news bullshit and its killing them #but also. genuinely. i think theyre not very good ppl. theyre the type of people who think they're better bc they're religious. white. and #thin. and theyre not better thsn anyone. their grandchildren cant stand them. well cant stand her at least. papa is just quite so its hard #to say what hes thinking. apparently he was confused last night and saying something about eating dinner on the golf course. which sounds #nicer thsn being in the hospital lol. ugh. he seems not long for this world tbh. may he pass peacefully to b with his 1st wife who died of #brain cancer at age like 20 or something. so it goes. bleh. how many funerals are intended for me in the next 5 years? hopefully none but #that seems improbable with the unspoken drain circling that seems to b going on in this family. old age and like almost 10 years of cancer #defying the stats but for how much longer? #i dunno. its just so weird to watch these things happen and not talk about it directly to the other ppl who see it #i worry that ill come off as too callose or inappropriate bc i have that tendency when something bad is happening but thats everyone else #excuse? idk i just feel like its better to talk abt things #unrelated #ed mention #i tell u this so i can say these things to someone and also bc if i were u. i would like to hear the drama #bc im nosey and i assume other r too ;-]

i think one day ill have to actually make a german mcyt history chart but i keep falling down rabbit holes

#hermitcraft season 1 precedes minecraft hero by about one and a half years btw #not sure what to do with that information but it is interesting. i think i started watching towards the end of hero? #anyway this morning i woke up with fuckin. taddls roadtr7p song stuck in my head FOR SOME REASON #and like the only instance left on the internet of that song is someones reupload on soundcloud #so what i found on youtube instead was taddls hero-krieg rap. ahaha #yknow. this was my hermitgang. i guess #btw 700 main st by dat adam is almost 8 years old. this doesnt really have anything to with minecraft but its. something #also the german mcyt history thing already fails at the fact that ive never seen a single episode of craft attack in my life #so im kinda missing the essentials #anyway i have no idea why im rambling so much here this doesnt really mean anything to anyone #one day im gonna rewatch zombeys minecraft hero. one day. ive been meaning to do that for like 6 years #marly talks

takane's self deprecating inner monologues mirroring the fandom notoriously misinterpreting her as far meaner than she actually is. *holds head*

#also applies to shintaro #but shintaro is indeed pretty mean in hs soooo #post str i think he'd also be dramatic and sort of a jerk but its like. hes justified (looks at retaining) #hs days shintaro. u will regret this. dont be like that. ive seen into your future. just be nice im begging you #anyways takane. i study her under a microscope #OH and when i say Fandom i mean older fandom #sinceas there hasnt been. Content. yknow. so theres no way of knowing if ppl still interpret her that way #<- i dont have anyone to talk abt kage.pro with❤️ i wouldnt know. i just see what ppl post. sometimes. #what was i talking about #oh yeah #i had a thought i really did. #but i lost it #basically takanes self bashing makes me so sad #shes right to a degree because takane is indeed a selfish person (glares at manga route 2) #she wouldve NEVER walked away. takane being jealous haruka got another friend 1. would not happen 2. even if it did it would NOT keep her #from hanging out with him. #shes precisely too selfish for that. she precisely likes haruka so much and wants to Be with him so bad she doesn't give a fuck what ittake #sorry for the sudden manga 2 bashing i just needed to explain. takane is selfish #and she IS also attention starved❤️❤️❤️ #but she barely recognized her good qualities. if at all #ugh. sorry. i was going somewhere with this. i love her #kagevinnie

[sonknuxadow]

it feels like almost every post i see about dr starline is either woobifying him and pretending he did nothing wrong or saying hes a bad character and their only reasoning for that is that he did bad things. even though hes a villain and hes supposed to do bad things thats the whole point? i dont get it . where am i

#i'd be more understanding of the second argument if like. starlines actions were portrayed in a positive light #and the writers wanted us to believe hes a good person. but thats not the case at all hes very obviously supposed to be evil #the comic doesnt defend him his actions are obviously wrong and we are shown the negative impact hes had on the people hes hurt #so i dont really get. how his actions make him a bad character? hes just a bad Person. which is a completely separate thing #im not even a starline fan either those takes just kinda confuse me #and im NOT saying you cant dislike him because of his actions. or be uncomfortable with fans of him who call him a girlboss and stuff #i can See why the way he treats surge and kit would be very upsetting for some people and i agree that its horrible he did that to them #just again. that i dont really understand the take that hes a bad character because he does bad things. hes supposed to be bad #i never really see people talk about other sonic villains who are just as bad if not worse like this either? just starline. idk #not vagueing anyone in particular btw this is just a response to many many posts ive seen #and i dont agree with the people in the first category either to be clear i just didnt have as much to say about that

never in my life did i think i need to makeout with a piece of software so badly but here we are i guess

#lizzy speaks #OK IM BEING OVERDRAMATIC AND I WOULD ELABORATE BUT I NEED TO SLEEP BUT #DO YOU EVER JUST #FUCK !!!!!! #IVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO COME ACROSS A PIEC EOF SOFTWARE #i need to fiddle around with it some more but everything ive seen about it is MIND BLOWING to me #ive been waiting my entire life for this moment i think #i feel like it's funnier if i don't say what the software is. i wanna be mysterious so bad but i cannot shut the fuck up #literally been suffering through notetaking and organization softwares and im like ohh i think i finally found the one #this is the minecraft of sex i think its like wowza i can finally do all those writing projects i want to do #boys (me) don't want girls they want an organized database of notes that they can easily reference at anytime #sorry for being unhinged but like its like past midnight lol im sure i'll wake up in the morning and be like 'what the FUCK were you doing' #BUT!!! i think ill come back to this post to reblog it with like actual shit about the software when i figure out how i want to use it #i think everyone should experience joys in life. and sometimes that joy is having organized notes #bonus points if anyone can figure out what im talking about just from the tags alone i think this software will change my life #it has fucking tag functionality i literally love tags #sorry about the vocabulary but this rivals like. my love of spreadsheets. which are like. a wonderful thing i think but ANYWAY IM RAMBLING #anyways goodnight i wish you all on the dash a very lovely evening i just needed to share this because im so overjoyed right now o7 #if you have a software that you really like thats changed you feel free to tell me in the tags or something :) i like learning new things

[britneyshakespeare]

i was hanging out today w a friend i hadn't seen in awhile and kaily and i were catching up on all the drama involving him (my controlling manipulative and abusive ex-friend) and how he keeps going out of his way to ask ppl about where we are and find us and how the only reason i think i get out of it is bc i don't go to the same college as him anymore, i hardly ever leave the house socially and the few ppl i do see all have no connection w him anymore, and i don't work at some place where he can just show up. i work in pre-k-to-12 public schools. my schedule in terms of days/location is irregular anyway, but if some strange adult man shows up for no particular reason and seeks out a female employee, you do not just get let in. that is how you have the cops called on you. but he does know where i live and i have been paranoid about him finding some excuse to show up at my house. i've had legitimate nightmares about that. i never stopped having nightmares about him i'd say at least once every other week and i haven't talked to him in almost six months.

i don't like at all how i don't feel safe in a way that means i have faith that the issue is over; the person is out of my life; our communication will not be renewed against my will once again. bc all of those things have been attempted. i feel safe in a way that means he happens, by circumstance, not to be able to access me in any convenient way to him. any way he could find me (the only way to feasibly do that would be work/home) would be a justification for calling the police. but i don't have any faith that he wouldn't try, because he has shown himself as being capable of being that low. and if i switch jobs or transfer schools finally and he finds out about it, he can just make it an issue there if he so feels like it, and i'm sure he will. he's a monster. he gets some sort of thrill out of making other ppl feel unsafe and having all the control in the situation

#tales from diana #it was very validating to talk to her bc she never really liked him #in fact i used to be so humiliated when i'd bring him to hang out w my older friends #bc he'd go oooon and on and on about how nobody listens to him nobody understands him nobody cares about or appreciates him #and then i'd be like 'oh my friends are good ppl! ill introduce u' and i did. i made the effort to bring him to them a LOT #(and he would make me feel like he envied me for my oh-so-superior life which i most definitely do not have) #but then he would not listen to her not understand her not care about her and not appreciate her #nor any of my friends for that matter. but he was SO disinterested in her in particular in a way that was just sooo disrespectful #he wouldnt let me hold a conversation w her. or let me bring her into a conversation w him. he'd DOMINATE #in general he didn't like me talking to anybody else or anyone talking to anyone else or anyone else talking #ive never seen a man who cared so little about somebody else getting to finish a sentence. #and like there's a lot of adhd in our friend group. we all (myself especially) have our spirited interjections #and occasionally interrupt but we realize when we're doing it and then pull back & let the other person finish #we try to keep other ppl on track w what they were saying when they go on a tangent #you know. we try and communicate effectively #even tho we r not naturally perfect at it lol. #we're adults who respect each other it's almost like! #but yeah. he was only interested in impressing the couple of men in my friend group essentially #he'd talk abt how my two guy friends r cool & how he wants to be closer to them #and i'd stick up for this woman i hung out w today & he had just absolutely no interest in her #she never liked him anyway which was so baller of her. good on her. she detected his rudeness #and that rudeness used to vex me so much. i suppose bc i couldnt bear to see him treat other ppl how he treated me #altho to a much lesser extent w the overt lovebombing he did to me and the traumadumping and intense reliance upon me #he seriously needed my attention 24/7 it didn't matter if i was studying or working or in bed sick for two weeks #literally he and his vapid fucking needs came before everything in my life according to him. always. crazy #the entitlement of that man is ridiculous. so of course he thinks there's nothing wrong w seeking me out #of course. #i wouldnt care if he died

[henchman21hasapussy]

my patronizing attitude towards non-transguys and transfems a couple years back was misinformed and something ive started to really work on and excise from my brain, that any group of trans ppl is inherently better than another

Then i see another transmasc go on about transmisandry and how oppressed trans men are by "transmisandry deniers" and i feel like the joker

#well whenever ppl talk about racism towards black trans people they #never mention asians!!!!1 #🐟 #it was never a good faith argument about “the community” so much as reactionary backlash to feeling offended rather than being actually hur #listen. Im an asian transmasc. The amnt of times ive heard ppl say is an exact parallel to this shit. Its not about actually building a goo #e but real criticisms #Ive seen transmasc Womyns Rights Activists in countless 80s zines. Its rlly not just a good faith argument abt transmasc oppression #i was also unfortunately looped into proship circles as a barely literate child and not to keep drawing comparisons but it really is just #arguments based on feeling attacked rather than actually being attacked #i can smell users thatll argue about the virtues of lolicon from miles away because of what i was subjected to as a kid #Point is? I strongly dislike a subset of online transmascs and how their culture kind of pushes out anyone that isnt white or middle class #they kind of bleed out into real life #And its hard finding support irl from people that arent so horribly entrenched in flag discourse or gender discourse or whatever!!!! #None of that matters irl as much as they think it does! It's not real.

Hey what the fuck is going on with j*cks*ptic*ye's content? Every post on here I see about him lists a different alter ego or whatever the characters he plays are, how many guys does he have going on??? I watched him years ago and none of that was happening and it just seems like a lot to keep track of

#not tagging him bc i dont mean to be shitting on his content or fans or anything #just really genuinely confused by the stuff i see people on here talk about #ik markiplier has a couple different characters but most of them are specific to his choose your own adventure stuff #afaik sean doesnt do all that???? ive never seen anyone post about a big project like that for him #so is it all exclusively little snippets from gameplay videos??

Does anyone remember in the Fall of Gondolin when Idril had a dream where Maeglin threw Ëarendil into a furnace?? And then she told Tuor about it and he just went "oh, don't worry about it, Maeglin's not that bad." Because I can't stop thinking about that

#ive never seen anyone else talk about this #which is a shame because its great #idril really just poors all her fears out #and tuor's just like lol its fine #idril #idril celebrindal #tuor #earendil #maeglin #fall of gondolin #silmarillion

sometimes i think about interactions boat and i have had and things he's said to/about me over the years and it makes me feel as though i must occupy some little space in his heart. like i live in his mind rent-free the way he does for me, although not nearly to the same extent lmao.

speak of the goddamn devil i just got a steam notification he's playing tf2

anyway i never thought i'd have that kind of effect on a person, much less my favorite content creator. but it sure appears to be that way, and idk. it makes me feel special. warms my heart n all that :)

#was one of two people to give me their phone number when i had to drop off of discord 2 years ago #never took advantage of it though (shy (also we have different brands of phones so texting probably wouldnt work right #other person was an irl friend (never contacted them either #i remember one time YEARS ago when he was wanting to read jjba on stream or smth like that #him: it's like REALLY not family friendly me: well i shouldnt watch bc i am a Child him: no its ok you dont have to skip It's very dirty th #like guy clearly just wanted me there bc he enjoys my company And he's said he does! i remember him saying he likes seeing me in chat #and once again he was the one that wanted me on the staff team when usually the staff pick new recruits and boat has final say #and apparently he's talked about me to his other friends. that's kinda where the old Time to Mod in-joke started #he was using voice to text to talk to whoever and said my username but the thing misinterpreted it #that coupled with the meme drawing i did that he edited so it's him just saying 'pain'. eventually that dumb fucking image spawned #and then there was the night he spammed it and spam mentioned me in chat when he was streaming while i was ASLEEP #once we were in a vc and he was like 'wow i'd forgotten what your voice sounded like' NEVER heard him say that to anyone else. What #dont even get me started with him and my artwork (man would probably flip tf out seeing what i can do now LOL) #guy literally wanted ME to design an official tff logo but at that point they were kinda slowing down so it never happened #but yeahno i just. ugh. our friendship means a lot to me. i am ITCHING to speak to him again you have no idea #and to just give him a big ol hug. been wanting that for such a long time #quite frankly a friendship dynamic like no other ive seen #dont mind me REMINISCING. im sooo sappy about him he's the most important guy in the world to me #if god exists he knew we'd be too powerful if we grew up together

Sometimes I'm glad AraSawa isn't as much of a thing as MineDai because SOME of what is there already makes Jo super aggressive (towards Arakawa) lol... obviously it's rare, as a subset of a subset of content, but it always reminds me of the post that's like Oops You Fell For The Front The Character Was Putting Up

'rare' is an understatement i aint EVER seen any arasawa outside of my own or not from pixiv/twitter and them mates usually have arakawa as the instigator..

#snap chats #LIKE GENUINELY. brother dug DEEP. or im just looking in the wrong places... #truly ive never seen anyone depict jo as the instigator in my life and the concept of that is so illegal who-- #either way Yeah im grateful arasawa isn't super popular either sometimes because of that fear #i feel like it's REALLY hard to get arasawa twisted. like if you like arasawa At All i feel like you have to pay attention At All LMAO #arasawa truly is for twelve people in the crowd idk how else to explain it #cause i never see people talk about jo or arakawa on their own Lord Above Forbid together so.

We as a society need to appreciate nagumo more

#i cant believe how ive never seen ANYONE talk about him. ever #ive seen people talk about less relevant characters way more #no way baba is so much more popular than him #dont get me wrong i love baba so much but come on #nagumo has a lot of charm AND he didnt die or end up in prison forever!! thats way more than half the cast #also can we talk about how kiryu warmed up to and nagumo and the others to start considering himself part of the family and #call nagumo his brother. why does no one talk about that it warmed my heart so much it burned #when kiryu said “when we die at least we can go out together like brothers”?? #i was tearing up bc he was finally getting over nishiki and ready to find someone to fill that space for him #or at least thats how i saw it idc #i REALLY wish kiryu wrote letters to more than just daigo. nagumo deserved a letter. he was with kiryu in his supposed last adventure #anyway i will defend nagumo until i die idc #rant #yakuza #yakuza 6 #nagumo
