hate to say it but Dryssa is doomed yuri 😞😞

[bugwolfsstuff]

do we think blond men are born evil or does some tragic event occur with all of them in their formative years

[bugwolfsstuff]

Sadly people got too tolerant of Christianity we need the mythical annoying atheists to make a comeback we need to make this the summer of atheism "don't talk to me about your magical book" should be rolling off the tongue way more often....

[bugwolfsstuff]

yeah sorry they gave me an open wound instead of a heart that's why im like this

[bugwolfsstuff]

I hate him but can we claim Luke Castellan for the angry religious trauma girlies, theys and.....boies??

My reasoning:

He's angry at gods/a god for his childhood being so shit despite the deity claiming to love him — DOES THAT NOT SOUND LIKE A SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZED BY RELIGION. THATS SO ME.

“He told us to take this boat. I thought it was just for a ride, but he sent us here to find you. He told me he won’t give up on you, no matter how angry you are.” “Angry?” Luke roared. “Give up on me? He abandoned me, Percy! I want Olympus destroyed! Every throne crushed to rubble! You tell Hermes it’s going to happen, too. Each time a half-blood joins us, the Olympians grow weaker and we grow stronger. He grows stronger.” Luke pointed to the gold sarcophagus.

Sea of monsters page 112

2. My genuine reaction barely contained but inside every time I have to hear some iteration of 'god loves you'. It hurts. It usually triggers a reaction in me. And while I love Hermes and knows he means it, god abandoned me too and no amount of telling me how much he loves me will undo that or the fact that I wanna tear his throat out with my teeth even if it would destroy me because I was just a kid.

3. This painting by Alexandre Cabanel is litterally so him core.

Go on, imagine his face pasted on it. He probably kins Lucifer.

Also if Nico gets to be for the catholic guilt type of response then Luke should be the biblically furious grief type of response because I highly doubt I'm the only one that gets angry instead of guilty.

I really like the idea of Percy having a chronic adoption problem so I'm just gonna run with it.

So when Percy finally has enough money he just pours a bunch of it into those adopt an animal programs that are designed to help fund the protection of endangered species. But he is just way too into it, and takes it completely serious.

Annabeth: *Coming home after a stressful day at work, Seeing a tall ass Zebra horse standing in the kitchen staring at her* Percy why the fuck is there a horse in our apartment

Percy: His name is Pablo, he's an Okapi, and he's our son

Annabeth: We can't keep him

Percy: After everything that happened you want to abandon our son, how could you. I even asked him and everything he wants to be here. I didn't think you of all people would want to abandon your child.

Annabeth: *trying desperately not to strangle her boyfriend* Okapi's reach adulthood at 3 years old, Pablo looks older than that, I'm just trying to encourage him to be self sufficient and spread his wings. Also you adopt them to keep them protected in their natural environment, Percy.

------------------------------------------------

Annabeth: *wakes up to see a massive green anaconda on the couch* You've never been able to talk to snakes even if they're water snakes, what possible excuse could you have for this.

Percy: Hermes heard about me adopting animals and gave me the ability to talk to snakes

Annabeth: *mentally adding gave Percy parseltongue to the list of reason to kill Hermes* We have 5 aquariums filled with fish, you're not keeping it.

-------------------------------

Annabeth tries desperately to get help from others but Sally is completely behind it, and the sea gods see no problem with it so she tries to get Thalia's help and its just:

Thalia: Sorry but I am a proud aunt to an electric eel also named Thalia and I can't betray her like that, maybe try Nico.

Annabeth: *Having no clue where this fucking electric eel is and is paranoid around every source of water for the next week.*

Also Thalia totally told Artemis about it and blessed Percy to be able to talk to even more animals.

---------------------------------------------

Annabeth: Percy, why the is there suspiciously bear shaped paw prints on the floor?

Percy: That's Clarisse

Annabeth: And Clarisse is a bear?

Percy: Yeah, it was a little too hot for her so I just froze the water in the bathroom and put her in there

Annabeth: How the FUCK did you get a polar bear into this apartment, we can't keep it.

Percy *pulling out the adoption papers* Oh, Hellhounds are fine but a Polar bear is where you draw the line.

----------------------------------

Eventually Annabeth just tells Percy he might as well open a zoo. Which Percy absolutely tries too, and claims he's just gonna use the "you were a deadbeat dad" excuse on Poseidon to get money.

Annabeth: I take it it didn't work

Percy: I'll get him eventually, besides if I open a zoo you can design it.

Annabeth with park plans that can be modified and haven't been touched in 5 years: I'm listening.

-------------------------------------

So Percy just approaches other gods about funding the whole thing, and within a week he has it almost all accounted for.

Hermes- the Reptile House

Kymopoleia- Jellyfish and sea creatures exhibits

Artemis- all North american animals

Aphrodite and Athena- split every bird exhibit

Amphitrite- Fresh water fish

He even managed to get Keto and Phorcys to agree to sell them the aquarium. When Poseidon appears in the apartment.

Poseidon: I told you I was not going to be a part of this

Percy: And you're not, but your wife, and daughter, and nieces, and nephews, and brothers, and sisters are.

Poseidon, refusing to be one upped: Then I will fund the sea creatures exhibit

Percy: actually the only exhibit open is for sea monsters, were going to have a demigod side.

Poseidon: fine, but I also get my name on any horse exhibits, and a shark named after me.

Percy: Deal

------------------------------

When the zoo opens its just an instant success and safe ground for demigods, then Percy has to be interviewed as the owner.

Interviewer: Do you find yourself building a relationship with any of the creatures, you seem very at ease even around the more dangerous creatures.

Percy, Who just spent the last hour and a half being a couples counselor to some kangaroos: Yeah it's almost like I can talk to them.

And don't worry they do everything by the book and only take in wounded creatures that would die in the wild. But there's still like 30 some odd creatures around the globe that just randomly get visited by a black haired man and blonde woman who call themselves their parents, every year, on the same day. But they bring free food and call it a birthday celebration so why not.

[bugwolfsstuff]

I wonder what would have happened if Luke actually died on that quest then?

Like Hermes is a guide of the dead (tho technically since it'd be a violent death he'd probs fall under the Keres) so of course they'd have to at least interact. Would Hermes explain anything? Would he apologize to Luke? Would Luke once again die thinking his dad didn't care about him?

I recently had a morbid thought: What if part of Hermes wanted Luke to die on his quest? Die in a blaze of glory with a direct ticket to Elysium?

[bugwolfsstuff]

yeah good question can other mythologies get involved??

Like can we just Children of Lir* him and let him be a swan for a couple hundred years? Can't ye just not let a Welsh lad be near him and we can postpone or prevent the entire prophecy for 900 years?

Imagine a joke AU where Luke becomes a Catholic priest instead of joining Kronos as a big fuck you to the gods.

Hermes is on one hand pleased because that means no prophecy, hes under that one's jurisdiction not the Fates now but on the other hand....what the fuck do you mean MY son isnt under our jurisdiction anymore?? He's MY SON, i birthed him!

'but bug, we can see with Samirah and Lavina that the demigod's religion doesnt stop them from being included—"

shhhhh you'd get to see Luke in a priest outfit just let me have thissss

[bugwolfsstuff]

they should invent a me who is not exhausted by simply being alive

[bugwolfsstuff]

A little thing that changes nothing but i think is funny is the fact that Zoe is Hermes' aunt.

[bugwolfsstuff]

GIRL NO YOU’RE MOURNING SOMETHING THAT HASN’T EVEN HAPPENED YET AGAIN!!!!!!

[bugwolfsstuff]

i don't think every trans story has to be sunshine and rainbows. getting outraged over trans stories that depict the ugliness in our life, or non op/pre op bodies is bad.

not letting uncomfortable stories of marginalized people exist is bad.

i hate that getting a few crumbs of good rep means people think they're justified in getting mad at queer independent creators, ESPECIALLY closeted ones, because they showed an experience that is uncomfortable and personalized to them.

[bugwolfsstuff]

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

Yep this is the 'I love you but being honest will make things worse' Family.

Guess hes gonna have to feel guilty every time he sees Connor or Travis.

Travis at Hermes if he knew about the events of He knows this inaction wont have consequences.... (for Him)
