i unironically block and avoid anyone who interacts with callout posts btw. unless the post contains information about genuine real harm to real people in unequivocal terms, with solid proof and context that cannot be chalked up to misrepresented friendship drama, i go scorched earth on the notes. the amount of potential harassment and harm they can and HAVE caused in the past, especially to minority groups, trans women in particular, is beyond anything that can ever justify their existence. they're a petty, childish—frequently wrong!—thoughtless and cruel way to "spread awareness". grow up.

jason grace should’ve been given more connections at camp jupiter
give me jason who was half raised by older legionnaires and spends half of his weekends visiting these twenty something year olds who have known him and loved him since he was a toddler and who are just a few years out of university themselves but who have watched him grow up and love him like a younger brother
give me jason who had friends that he quested with that desperately missed him when he vanished, fifth cohort members who talked about their leader and their friend and how all they wanted was his safety and who could barely put their heart into war games not because they’d lose without him but because they can’t remember the last time they’d gone onto the battlefield without him wishing them luck
give me jason who was desperately close with reyna to the point where it was almost codependence, who ran camp jupiter at her side yet could be a child when they were alone even through the mountains of responsibility and paperwork
give me the jason that hazel talks about, the jason that welcomed her to camp and fiercely defended her against every judgement, ignoring every opinion towards her but his own and introducing her to this new word with a gentle, even voice

I feel so bad for zephyr, what are some of her happiest memories? Would it be first meeting the members of her local group? I assume they would be built after her, was she excited about them being built or was she not informed at all?
she wouldn't be very... Present. most likely hadn't managed to be there for every Iterator when they first came online. she is very removed from most of her group because she's unable to stick in the chats for too long with all the damage and her endless attempts to conserve herself as much as possible, so her interactions with others outside of the Anemoi (and this one guy called Orion's Pathway) are extremely limited
Boreas, though, ever the life-saver, updates her on any new Iterator projects being build, how are the already existing ones doing- see she is kind of hard to cheer up and as a rule she never really laughs, but oh hearing about successes of others always manages to make her happy. that has been a thing for her since day one!
so Boreas would make a list of the Eo group's achievements with Euros and Orion's help and he'd read them out for her during their routine calls. those calls are probably one of her happiest memories, since she got so much serotonin and motivation out of hearing about her family (n also just in general- their start might've been rocky but Zeph n B really really love each other [platonically ofc])
they might not Know her, only be aware that their senior is called Abet Zephyr and her appearances are strangely rare, but she loves them all. if she hadn't, it wouldn't be called Mission Self-preservation. it'd be way more revenge focused. her number one priority is the safety of her family even if she doesn't know them personally. she puts them above her anger, physical and emotional trauma cuz she just fuckin loves them that much
her other happy memories include some stuff with Sparrows! after Zephyr allows her opinion about the Ancients develop, she finds herself glad whenever Sparrows would show up to do some more repairs and spend some time with the old humidifier. jgklsdmclk just like with a grandma, Sparrows would show her some stuff on her phone/Mechanic's watch and Zeph would be confused about it but she gets to spend the time with someone she likes so it's okay
along with Euros on a call the three of them would sing folk songs from Sparrows' home with Boreas usually listening in, very rarely joining in
Zephyr wasn't given overseers until Sparrows showed up for the first time, too, so when she synced with the eyes and took a peak outside for the first time in her life, that was... that stuck with her as a strong memory, too. can't exactly say it was a Happy memory, but only cuz there was so much happening in her emotionally in that moment that simplifying it to a singular one wouldn't really represent it right
here's her lighting up while Boreas tells her about positive recent events of the group
her antennas are broken- that's why they are always down like that- but Dammit she is Happy we Gotta wiggle 'em at least a wee bit

I'm still so baffled by the time this one person messaged my wife to say something along the lines of "Okay but it's metagaming if my PC actually cares about your PCs wellbeing." (This is after being in a consistent campaign together for like 2 years) Because I had been trying so hard to get this person to understand why they majorly sucked to play DnD with because they wouldn't put in the effort to care about anyone else or their characters.
And it was just like... Way to prove my point SO hard it's not even funny.
It's been over a year now since that comment and nearly a year since we've spoken to that person so it is actually really funny now. Like looking back on how absolutely stupid that whole thing was.
