A proper salad consists of three divine components:

ingredience (vegitable of all kin)

indulgence (dressing, oil, salt, croutons, cheese, etc)

violence (chopp and shred that shit asunder)

When I pack a sketchbook with me when I travel, I have zero need nor desire to draw anything during my whole time there. But if I don't pack one along, I get such an intense desire to draw something that I start learning how to paint with my left thumb on my phone's notes app.

Really wish I had the opportunity to find out how long I would actually rest if I had all the time in the world. Like I love to sit and watch the sunrise with a cup of coffee but as soon as my coffee runs out my brain is like “back inside you tempestuous and indulgent creature! Stop postponing your Daily Tasks in pursuit of natural beauty!”

And I just wish one time I had all the time in the world for Tasks so I could find out how long it would be nice to watch the clouds change color.

How long would I sit and read books if there were no demands on my time? How long would I sleep? How long would I lay in the grass? How long would I kiss my lover? How long would I walk in the park?

Ice cream trucks would be significantly less creepy if they didn't seem to exclusively circulate during times when normal peoples' kids should already be asleep.

I hate how telling someone that they're being distracting/asking someone to stop distracting you always comes off like "you're keeping me from doing something I would rather be doing", instead of "look I would rather be spending time with you than doing things that I have to do but don't want to be doing, which is specifically why you are distracting me. This situation is neither your nor my fault, but I regret to remind you that you are my favourite bananas and my brain is operated entirely by a team of expert sabotage monkeys who hate making phonecalls."

You could probably come up with pretty unique characters by just taking a generic Stock Trope Character Type and then adding in an element that's completely unrelated to this character type cliché and then just not making it weird. A bumbling sitcom dad or a doe-eyed airheaded office secretary who just happen to be trans. A wild Crocodile Dundee-ass "has never met an animal he wouldn't wrestle" australian who just happens to be filipino.

An intimidating Tall Dark And Handsome strong and silent type man who is simply nonverbal, and doesn't consider people who won't learn sign language to communciate with him worth talking to. Prank-loving trickster twins who are muslim and frequently swap hijabs in the middle of the day to mess with people, because different-colour headscarves are the only way that people can tell them apart.

Can't express how stress free being open minded is.

Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.

Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.

Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.

Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.

Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.

did anyone else ever find it odd how easily zeus offered percy godhood? and how it almost seemed like he secretly wanted percy to accept? well i did, and after thinking long and hard about it…

i don’t think percy understood what turning down godhood really meant

demigods do tasks for the gods because they don’t have to follow any rules. they aren’t controlled by anyone or anything. demigods are a strange hybrid - not god, not human. they are in between the laws of immortal and mortal. they are not supposed to exist. yet they do, which is what makes them so extraordinary.

percy is crazy powerful. of course, there’s the aspect of raw power. he has domain over air (storms/hurricanes), land (earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), and sea (monster waves, tsunamis, floods, basically anything that involves water.) he can control bodily fluids. he has super strength (with one hand, he held up an unconscious annabeth who was being pulled down by both arachne AND the forces of tartarus). he has super speed (he moves faster than bullets in TTC). no matter how badly you hurt him, he automatically heals and regenerates the second he touches water (an ability no other demigod has). he’s an extraordinary swordsman. very skilled in combat and warfare. he’s smart, and thinks of plans quickly. but he also has a great deal of social/poltcial power… i mean, he’s a leader and hero to both the greek and roman camps. if he says “attack,” all demigods, greek or roman, attack. no question. do you have any idea how threatening that is to the olympians? he’s also best friends and has an empathy link with the lord of the wild, which basically means all of nature is by his side too, including all land creatures. he’s also prince of horses, which means pegasi too (both of which are extremely useful in battle). and of course all sea creatures, including the mythical ones like krakens and leviathans. not to mention many of the gods really like him. hermes, hephaestus, athena, aphrodite, and dionysis have all gone out of their way to help him. artemis holds him in high regard, especially since he saved her. apollo literally considers him his friend! and poseidon - his dad, the god who is the biggest threat to zeus - is fiercely protective of him and cares about him a great deal. many minor gods also like him because he demanded them to be given more respect and for their kids to be welcomed at the camps.

percy unknowingly has more power, both physical and social/political, than anyone should ever have. he may have absolutely no idea, but it must scare the living daylights out of zeus. by accepting zeus’s offer to become a god, percy would have submitted himself to the control of zeus. zeus would be his king and ruler. zeus would then have complete control over him.

but percy said no. therefore, percy remains out of zeus’s control.

percy had no idea what he was doing. but thank the gods he made that choice. thank the gods he’s an incredible person. thank the gods percy jackson has no desire for power, because he has more of it than anyone should ever be able to have.

Kids have it so right. Be weird without shame and cry about anything that so much as dares to inconvenience you

Free Verse

With the aesthetic of a tumblr shitpost I present before you My mind

Disguised as free verse I offer this bag of distractions And some bad writing - but there is no good or bad "only immoral." It is fun to view my mind like a mood board But I can't bare to look at one I made myself Feelings rampant tears trample my words My mother told me to write a poem and here I am Stealing someone else's thoughts draping them in new fabrics and calling them my own blood.

Do you ever have that moment where you realise you are just sitting and wasting time but you still don't want to complete the pending work so you just sit and waste more time

[shafiron-the-squirrel]

Fleeting glimpses of you

through my window

Fingers pressed against glass

wondering where you got lost.

Millions of memories

sprinkled upon me

In a moment as the wind

brushes my hair.

Your presence felt

in every shard of sunlight

in every cloud of grey

in every wisp of mist.

An emerald radiance

draped by a curtain of azure

With water laden eyes

you glance at me, and ask

when I will come again.
