"Kirke, diyor, her şey yolunda gidecek.

Bir kahinin ya da tanrılardan haber getiren birinin sözleri değil bunlar. Çocuklara söyleyeceğiniz türden sözler. Bir kabusun ardından yeniden uyusunlar diye sallarken, küçük kesiklerine pansuman yapar, sokan şeyin acısını yatıştırırken kızlarımıza söylediğini duyduğum sözler. Parmaklarımın altında cildi, kendi cildim kadar tanıdık. Gece havasındaki sesini dinliyorum ve her nasılsa ferahlıyorum. Canımızın yanmayacağını söylemiyor. Korkmadığımızı kastetmiyor. Söylediği sadece şu: Buradayız. Gelgitte yüzmek, yeryüzünde yürümek ve ayaklarına değdiğini hissetmek böyle bir şey. Yaşamak böyle bir şey."

I was a mythology kid not a Percy Jackson kid and I think that’s a really important distinction

(heads up for the vent, and I must stress I’m not mad just deeply frustrated)

Because I went into Percy Jackson only after having devoured any and all books on Greek and Roman mythology I could get my hands on at the library. I knew those myths inside and out — hell, in middle school I won the Mythology Bee having never touched a Percy Jackson book yet, and I was known among my family as “the person you go to when you have a mythology related question”

Which isn’t to say that going from Percy Jackson to mythology is bad, just that our expectations for and knowledge of the other are very different

A lot of my frustrations with Percy Jackson is the way it chooses to portray the gods — it feels restrictive and reductive, using them as little more than plot devices and railroading them into a singular characterization that just doesn’t fit with how the myths portray them

#I am also admittedly VERY picky about myth adaptations #all the Norse stuff in Marvel frustrates me to no end #if you want something I actually hate it’s Madaline Miller #so many people LOVE tsoa and it just makes me want to scream

Peter Schrock Jr. Farm

814 Carriage Lane

Trenton, OH

The Peter Schrock Jr. Farm is a historic Amish/Mennonite building located at 814 Carriage Lane near Trenton, Ohio, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Peter Jr. was the oldest son of Peter Schrock Sr. and his wife Maria Magdalena Zimmerman. Peter Schrock Sr. (1802-1887), born in Gondexrange, Moselle, France, was the second child born to Joseph and Marie Schrock. While still in France, Peter married Maria Magdalena Zimmerman. After their marriage in Robert-Espagne, the residence at the time of Peter and his in-laws, the couple remained in the nearby village of Dompcevrin, Meuse, through the birth of their first two children and most likely until their emigration in 1831. Peter Schrock Sr. arrived in Baltimore, MD, in the spring of 1831 with his wife Maria (Mary) Magdalena and first two children Peter Jr. age 3, and Madaline age 1. As an adult, Peter worked as a miller in Europe and after emigrating to America purchased land in Butler Co., Ohio, and owned several farms. The couple raised eight children. Built in 1865, the Peter Schrock Jr. Farmhouse, in Trenton, Ohio, was listed with the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1984.
