I Have Issues With The Hunters Of Artemis

what if—and bear with me here—annabeth isn’t the the overly-emotional character that everyone makes her out to be and defends to the point of no return. what if she—and you’re not gonna believe this—is reacting as any normal person would in a situation of her kind? and even crazier, out of the two of them, it’s more likely that percy is the more emotional one, because he suppresses his emotions so severely that they manifest in the demonstration of his powers. those powers, being some of the harshest and grandest in the series, acting as a visual for exactly how much emotion he has bottled up inside

A demon simply called The Brother. It doesn't have siblings or any family, and it's ambiguous whether that creature itself is even male at all. It just keeps turning everything and everyone into broth.

Kinda true. Honestly, Rick sometimes seems to “forget” the lasting impact abuse can have on people. Not sure I can pinpoint an actual quote or passage, but sometimes I feel like he ...maybe not should, but could have portrayed the lasting damage more

Tw: domestic violence

Who thought it was a good idea for Hedge to go on the Argo II? Like here are three teens who were physically/verbally abused as children and we’re sticking them on a boat with this aggressive man who’s constantly yelling and swinging a bat around. Can anyone else see how Percy, Hazel, and Leo might not vibe with that very well?

Okay, so, friends. Occasionally I see an American post on here about “guillotine the rich,” and it turns out that “rich” means “anyone making over $50k.”

We need to clear this shit up REAL fast, because otherwise it’s gonna wind up like the French Revolution, where more middle class and poor people were killed for being “class traitors” than actual nobles. (Did you know that France has more nobles today than during the French Revolution? While there were a few showy executions, many nobles did just fine or experienced minor setbacks.)

If someone makes $60,000 a year, they are making about twice as much as a full time worker making minimum wage in California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, or Washington State.

Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare who was just assassinated in New York City, earned $10 million a year, which means he earned 333 times minimum wage in those states. Basically, he cleared an annual minimum wage salary in just over a day. And that “rich” person making $60k/year that you want to guillotine? He made their salary in a bit over two days of a year.

So he was rich, right?

Well. Tesla is trying to give Elon Musk a pay package of $101 billion. That is 10,100 times what Brian Thompson earned and 3,366,667 times more than a minimum wage worker. (Tesla hasn’t been successful yet because of a complicated lawsuit from a shareholder, but they’ll get there.) If you are a minimum wage worker, Elon Musk makes more every SECOND than you do in a year. And that “rich” person who you want to guillotine? He makes their salary in about 1.6 seconds. Even when he’s sleeping.

Now, remember. The Muskrat also is the head of SpaceX, the Boring Company, X.ai, and X.com, so this is just ONE pay package for him.

What I’m saying is — you have much more in common when it comes to economic grievances with someone earning $60,000 (or even $200,000) than the ultra wealthy that have real power. They are not the people you should expend your energy on.

Lately I feel so jaded when it comes to violence and abuse against women in media. It feels like it's everywhere, especially in books and tv spaces and I'm so bleh about it. I don't even have a better word just bleh, I'm sick of it. I'm tired. It feels draining.

I'm sick of being recommended movies or shows that romanticize abuse and male violence, I'm sick of enemies to lovers being so prevalent and popular when 99.9% of the time they're not enemies it's just oppressor x oppressed or abused x victim. I'm sick of people acting like things can't be interesting or high stakes or "realistic" if the female character isn't being physically or emotionally hurt. I'm sick of male characters who are no better than actual shit stains being the favourite book/fictional boyfriend and seeing them romanticized everywhere yet the women they abuse aren't good enough. I'm sick of female authors and female audiences spreading and lapping this shit up. I'm sick of the apathy that it's so very clearly causing. I'm sick of the normalization because it's "just fiction" or "it's fantasy". I'm sick of dark romance being an excuse for a r*pists wet dream to be published and forgetting about the romance part. I'm sick of the rampant misogny that it gives space to

I'm sick of the desensitization and the romanticization and the unrelenting onslaught of these themes. I'm not saying it should never be present in media ever but jesus

Fuck it, Elden Ring text posts

Please, no! Not Bart Simpson xD

I’ll never get that image out of my head again

why is jason’s official art so yellow?

I finally made the meme I've had in my head for over a year

i think that the portrayal of women in the pjoverse is. interesting! like i am fond of how clarisse is portrayed like she’s not extremely compassionate and definitely not feminine but she isn’t vilified because of it. however i do find it odd how drew IS villainized for her femininity and showing that she is attracted to men and isn’t scared to get what she wants. it’s faux feminism at its finest as rick tries so hard to be progressive and create ‘strong women’ that he creates ‘women who are only strong if they don’t act *traditionally feminine and obey my ideals of what a woman is’ rather than actually creating feminine three dimensional female characters and showing that a stereotypically feminine personality does not equal weakness. it’s just! very odd to me ..

I see people complain about the seven not acting like an actual group of teenagers esp. because they didn't do crazy group stuff together but honestly, maybe they just weren't that close? Like, we know they weren't all friends, why should they act like it? Just something I was thinking about...
