#to such a small fraction

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

The funny thing about the PJO cabin system is that everyone's always all 'oh the twelve' this and 'the twelve' that but that's absolutely not even remotely accurate. To start, right off the bat it's thirteen, not twelve, because they don't count Hades. But not really because before Percy, there were no big three kids, so we're down to ten active cabins already but it's actually eight because Artemis and Hera don't make demigods.

And of those eight, Mr. D is stuck at camp (thus not really making new demigods all that often) and his only two kids don't even sleep in a cabin, they sleep in the Big House with him.

So, pre-Percy, there are seven active cabins at Camp Half-Blood:

Glee club, the Jocks, the Nerds, the Geeks, the Farmers, the 'Sketchy Kids' and the Popular Kids.

Or, in other words, the Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Demeter, Hermes (and the unclaimed kids) and Aphrodite cabins.

What's cool is that you can already see the cabin dynamics in the show. For example, the Athena cabin allies with the Hermes cabin for the numbers. The Hermes kids plus all the unclaimed kids? It's the biggest cabin in the camp by far. It's a battle strategy. Luke and Annabeth's close relationship is just the cherry on top for Annabeth. It'll be really cool to see how the show develops the differences in the cabins during the series.

#pjo tv show #pjo series #if i remember correctly it's the Hermes cabin then Ares and Apollo in terms of numbers. Aphrodite would probably be next. #but the Athena Hephaestus and Demeter cabins were always under twelve kids. #they state exact numbers in one book... and if you don't want spoilers turn back now #but after the war theres only three Hephaestus kids left so like.... the numbers go real fucking low #the entire camp population plummeta #iactually really fucking depressing watching this camp filled with small tiny children knowing that only a very small fraction of themlive

I love trying to parse together anything about the Doctor's Academy years. He was a "terror" for 120 years. He regenerated one teacher and nearly regenerated a second one. He had no friends until school. he put a teacher in a time loop. He made a bacteria that put multi cellular lifeforms into a coma. He was in a band. It took him two tries to graduate with the bare minimum grade. No one can agree how long he went to school for or if he even graduated. He has a doctorate in cheese making. His friends kept trying to get him to join a rebellion and the government kept erasing his memory about it. The doctor is recorded to have attended a gallifreyan university that doesn't exist.

Like, what is this? I love this. Everything and nothing is canon and the world is a beautiful place.

genuinely how do the "you can't fully understand/appreciate taylor's music without also discussing her personal life" swifties listen to other music. like do you research a singer's relationship status before you play their album? what if that kind of personal context simply isn't public knowledge? or does it only apply to taylor and in which case is part of the appeal and enjoyment of taylor's music specifically because it lends itself to analysis of the person/life/relationships behind it??

#i'm not even saying this in a hater way i just do not get it #over and over i've been seeing some form of this argument that analysing taylor's relationships etc is part and parcel of just understanding #her work #but like. do you not also enjoy and understand and appreciate work by other artists?? #and only a small fraction of artists have that much of their personal lives known to the public #this framing of analysing and judging a stranger's relationship as a normal/expected/necessary part of an album experience is just confusing #taylor swift #talking

weird how people think nowadays there’s like…a very specific personality type you have to be to be a mother instead of capacity for motherhood being a default trait almost all of the female population possesses. should having a child just be a thing that someone does by default without considering it? no. but also having children is not something your personality makes you fundamentally unsuited for 9/10 times, mothers have all types of personalities, the most important traits for childraising are unselfishness and kindness and everyone should cultivate those in themselves no matter what anyway regardless of whether or not they have children.

this also applies to men but ive never seen anyone say "it’s okay for men not to be fathers because it wouldn’t make any sense to their personality".

#“Some women just aren’t the type to have children” i mean yeah sure #but that number is way smaller than people think #women who are mothers can also have literally any kind of personality and as long as it’s not harmful to their kids that’s fine #and ‘motherly' is not really a personality trait anyway #this is in a response to a post i saw because i think it’s stupid as hell to imply that only a very small fraction of the population is #capable of having children. Untrue and evolution wise impossible. having children is the default setting #and anyone who is a halfway successful capable adult is capable of it #and also capable of messing it up really badly #as with any important and risky endeavour in life

in general i think what characterizes the late republic is that can you imagine how hot the gossip was. i wish i was there

#we only have a small fraction of it im sure. can you imagine being there

[elvisgasm]

Right. Exactly.

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

#I CANT STAND THE CONFUSION IN MY MIND #also i get why people wrote wanda/sylvie. they should go on a wholesome chick-flick revenge-quest together. and also they should kiss. #also i am now only *half* joking about thor being in love with mjolnir #it kept doing Christianity Bits which was quite awks. #not sure why it used the bit about building the church on a rock for some metal i mean wasn't jesus making a pun there? about peter? #i think Vision might be Jesus? or else he's Dr Manhattan who's done a first year philosophy course. could go either way on that tbh. #BUT TONY WAS THE BADDY RIGHT? WAS HE? WAS TONY THE BADDY OR NOT???? #with the homocidal glitches in what he thinks is his winning personality? #and all the weapons he's made and is in fact still making but now he only sells them to The Good Guys? #except look how easily they fall out with each other and also don't a lot of innocent bystanders die in their overly long action scenes? #also i need to write fic about whether mjolnir does in fact obey some unknown code that can be cracked if you set your mind to it #she does like Robot Jesus so apparently we can rely on her to make the major decisions from now on #the ending's a bit ominous - apparently someone's collecting those TVA paperweights to do... something? Oh no! :O #yeah i watched the MCU in the wrong order shut up this was inevitable and Marvisney should just embrace that at this point #(i know 'Marvisney' will never catch on but that will not stop me using it) #the loki series ending is but the latest installment of “unlimited power with no oversight is fine as long as the Good people have it” #UNLESS TONY WAS ACTUALLY THE BADDY. WHICH AS I MENTIONED I AM NOT AT ALL CLEAR ON. #maybe what i mean is was tony stark the baddy *on purpose*? #i only picked this one to watch next because tumblr gifsets told me thor wears a nice coat in it #which he does! but only for a small fraction of the film :( #journey into the mcu #the avengers (the marvel ones not the other ones)

[ID: Four panels from Trigun Maximum. The first three are all somewhat fuzzy, indicating that they're a flashback. The first shows a hand holding a derringer pistol, as a voice says, "...a tiny girl like you has to carry one. A single bullet... can even the odds between you and the strongest man." The dialogue continues over the second panel, which is a mostly obscured image of a gently smiling man, implied to be Meryl's father, and wearing headphones like the ones from a shooting range. The third panel shows a prepubescent Meryl with a serious expression, wearing thick gloves and clutching a book as her father continues, "It may be small... but its power is sufficient." The fourth panel is a close-up of the top half of the adult Meryl's face in profile, a distant expression in her eyes. End ID.]

IIRC, this is about the only thing we ever learn about Meryl's family background, aside from that she very rarely writes home. Though it's brief, it shows a practicality and emotional warmth that fits perfectly with Meryl as we know her as an adult. It also packs in a lot of gender politics regarding gun ownership as a force equalizer, especially on Planet Shithole which is full of testosterone-loaded bandit assholes including sexual slavers and roided-up giants. And a perfect quote regarding Meryl which deserves more usage, the Gunsmoke version of "though she be but little, she is fierce". That's a whole lotta symbolism and meaning packed into such a little gun!

#Trigun #Meryl Stryfe #I try not to just rag on Stampede but 'generic alcoholic mentor dies and leaves Meryl his gun' is just so rote #and does not have a FRACTION of the emotions and symbolism going on here #We don't know much about her dad. He may not have been all that communicative #meryl barely writes home and didn't really think anything of it until she saw the Milly Monthly #but he loved her and wanted her to be safe #while also enabling her to go out into the world and live life on her own terms #he wanted her to know #that though she is small her power is sufficient

i feel like something these people who send anon hate don't understand is that a lot of martha fans don't even hate r0se. or at least, we don't hate her for the reasons they seem to hate martha. it's not because we feel threatened by r0se or her dynamic with ten, out of some desire to project onto his love interest.

the reason many of us can be snarky about r0se or tenr0se is because of how martha is sidelined by the show, the writers, and the fandom. it's next to impossible to discuss martha without mentioning r0se/tenr0se at times, because her unrequited love is all that rtd seemed to care to explore in martha's season. the first onscreen black female companion. it's the racism and misogyny that upsets us, not r0se as a character. that's why we may make fun of her or of tenr0se from time to time.

but when r0se fans take pot shots at martha or send anonymous hate to us fans, it comes across as petty, because it is. you had two seasons of your favourite character, where she got to be the focus. even when she's no longer a companion, she's still a massive part of the narrative. she even comes back and has a major role in s4.

so why are you sooo upset to see us talk about martha and her relationship with the doctor, or poke fun at your favourite character? it literally shouldn't be a big deal lmao. but for some reason, it is. interesting.

#'omg ten would never fuck martha teehee' like do you hear yourself #i thought you 'won' with that ending #why are you so upset about a small fraction of us discussing martha/tm #or writing fanfic or creating gifs or making content in general? #it's pathetic ngl 😭

When I was a young child, I was adopted by hardcore evangelical Christian extremists. If you imagine a cartoon-level cultist, you’re probably pretty close to getting an image of what these people were like.

These people were outspoken zionists. Not only that, they were also the type to almost fetishize Israel, and Jewishness in general, but especially in connection to Israel. They were the sort who had “Passover seders” that were Christianized, they would go on and on about the “Jewish homeland” and the “sacredness of Jerusalem” and so on and so forth.

They held the belief that the establishment of Israel as a Jewish state would begin the End Times. They wanted this, because they believed that after the world and every non-Christian in it was destroyed in horrible, torturous ways, that they would inherit a “newly-remade” world for themselves as the “New Jerusalem” for the “true chosen people of the Lord.”

This is Zionism to the Evangelical, Conservative groups— the groups who are the loudest voice in favor of Israel, the groups where it’s propaganda is focused.

These people are also horrifically antisemitic.

From saying that Jewish people are all damned to suffer for eternity due to not being Christian, to claiming that they deserve their suffering for “killing Jesus,” to repeating blood libel and conspiracy theories, every form of antisemitism you can think of has been perpetrated by these people. These zionists. Jewish people and Judaism are only “worth” anything to them if they can be used as a prop for their religion, otherwise, they genuinely believe that only 144,000 Jewish people who “accept Christ” will be granted “eternal life” and spared, while the others, along with the rest of humanity, will be sentenced to eternal suffering.

Antizionism is not Antisemitism.

In fact, Zionism itself is often Antisemitic.

Don’t listen to propaganda and fearmongering. Zionists don’t care about Jewish people— they care only about their own agenda.

Fight Zionism. Free Palestine.
