I’m going to paint you a picture of modern communication, and how it is fundamentally broken.
Let’s look at one friend. You chat pretty much everyday, and mostly talk to this person on twitter and discord, with occasional tumblr DMs. That’s three places you talk. But that’s actually not true, because you also have each other’s priv twitters and talk there as well. That’s four. Now account for, let’s say, one post reply per account per person, in addition to your DMs. That’s eight. But that’s ALSO not true, because not only do you talk in discord DMs with each other, but you’re in a friend group server as well! And you talk in those channels together! That’s nine.
This is one friend.
Now look around you. How many friends, how many mutuals are you in contact with. A few, a handful, a dozen, more? How many accounts per person do you have, how many places can you send each other posts, devolve into separate topics and conversations? How many people text you as well. Friends, family, coworkers? What do you do day to day around catching up, what IRL commitments will rip you away long enough to let the pile build again?
I can’t do it. I cannot live an actual life in the real world and balance this much interaction, it’s crushing. I reply to a friend’s post because I’m interested in the subject, I want to have a discussion! I WANT to talk about it with them, but I immediately kick myself for adding another conversation to the pile. Day by day, I ignore messages for hours on end and watch mountains pile around me, to reply en masse at the end of the night to let the cycle repeat. I wake up to six discord DMs and as I clear the third, the first replies back again.
We weren’t meant to have thirty simultaneous conversations. We weren’t. And you know in your bones that the number isn’t an exaggeration.

percabeth yuri brain rot ahoy
au where everything is the same except poseidon and sally jackson have a daughter named ariadne (depending on the version u choose she got a happy ending with dionysus which is canon in the books) she probably goes by ari idk idk
anyways ari doesnt realize shes a lesbian, shes just like ‘oh yes my best friend annabeth who i have completely platonic feelings for’ and annabeth realizes shes bi but shes stuck in yearning hell not wanting to risk their friendship or creep ari out
most story beats would stay the same (tho titans curse would probably need a serious overhaul so good thing im not talking about that x) and they do still mess up circes island tho im not sure why yet, but in botl annabeth does NOT kiss ari, and only figures out after ari is missing that shes bi
(meanwhile on calypsos island ari is like ‘ohh sorry im not into girls like that’ and calypso is like yeah the gods always send heroes who cant love me)
anyways they dont get together after the last olympian, instead ari wakes up amnesiac in the woods with only the memory of annabeth and shes like ‘ohhh that must be my girlfriend’ and doesnt question it again
now this is my hc for just regular canon percy too that even after the gorgons blood the old memories and the new ones formed in the in between would get a little mixed up so the argo II arrives in new rome and annabeth runs up to ari to go in for a hug when ari just starts kissing her (annabeth is so shocked she forgets to even judoflip her) n e ways they make it official that night in the stables and that would make the rome date their first real date

Howdy! Could the racist anon’s ask that you replied to have a tw for suicide baiting on it?
Thanks✨
I would but there's 2 issues with that.
1. If I trigger tag it the way it should be (no alt. Words like sewer slide or sui bait, etc or without blocking letters out like su*s*de ba*t*ng, etc) so people can properly block it, it's gonna get blocked entirely by staff and considering staff is probably already looking for me to slip up (considering I'm talking about Palestine, I'm poc, I don't block out words, my previous account got nuked), I really don't wanna take a chance getting reported or getting eyes on me again.
And lastly 2.... That ask is not, legally or literally speaking, a sewer slide bait, especially not a genuine one. Sewer slide baiting is a legal term, it's a word that describes a specific set of illegal actions that lead to someone's death and a kys in my inbox from an anon is not sewer slide baiting in the slightest. They don't actually expect me to take them seriously. Sadly, that action has been given the emotional cheating/gaslighting/narcissist treatment in that they basically mean nothing when you misuse them constantly.
A genuine case of sewer slide baiting has to be done by someone close/with emotional hold on the victim intentionally bullying/abusing them and encouraging them to kts when they know that person is in an emotionally compromised state. It would have to be done in dms, in person by someone i knew and cared about manipulating me in a vulnerable place. Sewer slide baiting is a serious thing and leads to deaths, someone saying kys and a bunch of slurs in my inbox is not as serious as actual fucking sewer slide baiting and I should know, I've gone through it genuinely.
So no, I'm sorry, I won't be tagging something that isn't sewerslide bait as sewerslide bait because it .. well isnt sewerslide bait and im not getting a strike aginest my account for something i dont even agree with.
I may tag it as tw kys or something but I've already trigger warned everything I see needs to be trigger warned like the slurs.
If that's not enough, I'm sorry but no.

In the cool, plush core of the moon sleeps a mouse as we speak, dreaming of a world lush and green, then golden and undulating, then chopping and churning, a world of many surfaces with skies of many moods.
When it awakes, it will poke its tiny head out of a crater and bask in your glow as it does every morning. Here, all is still and silent. On that sparkling planet in the deep black distance, the sun seems capricious. But the mouse lives in the abyss of the body and therefore with a unique perspective on its essence. The mouse sees what other life does not see.
One needn't worry about unbecoming for the sake of containing a sun. Clouds may blanket the atmosphere of a planet, but still there burns a sun. The spots on the sun's surface may grow and shrink and shift, but still there it burns. And if one decides to cool it down like a waning flame or expand it in a cataclysmic supernova, still there it burns, and one has the right to revoke the state of their existence and become new.
Because perhaps the truth is you are not the sun--not alone--but it is rather a part of you. Your body is the solar system, each planet a world within the body, and each knows this glow in different ways. Some are nurtured by its warmth, others by its distance. Regardless of the sun's changes, they stay the course encircling it.
The universe cannot be held back, harnessed, fully comprehended. It pulls at the seams of solar systems as it pulls on its own seams. In that unstoppable shifting, we stumble. Sometimes it feels like our love and light slips from our fingers, shattering irrevocably in our falls. But what makes us cannot be seperated from us, even in times where our essence is obscured.
There is always another life to appreciate your life, no matter what happens. And in the least, there is always a little mouse in you that understands you in telescopic clarity and offers forgiveness for every change--no matter what, right into the end of time.
❤

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!
NAME: Zag !!
PRONOUNS: they / he
PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: personally, I'd prefer tumblr ! either through asks or dms, i don't mind ! i’ll only give my discord out if it’s really needed, and only ever in private, but i’m kinda choosy on who gets it anyway
NAME OF MUSE(S): a-qing !
RP EXPERIENCE / HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS ?): i started between 2013 and 2015 i wanna say,,, i cant remember exactly when, but it's that timeframe for sure . i stopped in 2016ish tho, and was on / primarily off until now !
PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: chatzy ( hell world ), kik, and now tumblr
BEST EXPERIENCE: hmm,,, it kind of had nothing to do with rping itself, but the chatzy room that i was first in ( that wasn't like, private and only for certain people ) had a set amount of users allowed in it at one time, but it would tell you when people TRIED to enter . so, eventually, we all figured out that some of us could LEAVE the room, BUT if we stayed in the same tab when we did, when we hit the back arrow we'd be able to bypass the max amount of people bc we'd be brought right back in . when i say we CELEBRATED when it worked the first time 😂😂
RP PET PEEVES / DEAL-BREAKERS: peeves-wise, one liners, mostly ; i need somethin to work with ! but also script- / play-style writing . also, the usage of asterisks when a muse does something ( within the thread itself, i mean ) . a deal-breaker would be if you’re really fucking rude to me outside of rp, or straight up refuse to discuss anything potentially triggering before introducing it / doing it in general . it’s one thing to not realize, and another altogether to just refuse to say anything about it . if it’s a general sort of thing though then it does kinda irk me if we haven’t discussed that we’ll be doing that ; if we’ve talked prior about just doing what we feel is best for the direction of the thread, though, then that’s also different since, yanno, we talked about it lskdma ESSENTIALLY this is a long winded way, maybe, of me saying a deal-breaker is if we don’t talk about SOMETHING before starting a thread, and later if it’s refused to be given discussion then that’s for sure a deal-breaker
FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: i'll do anything but romance and smut ! even if i introduced other muses, i’d still hold on to this stance
PLOTS OR MEMES: i think memes are fun but i've got very little experience w them ;;;; i prefer to plot if we've just met tho for sure
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: personally, i prefer long replies for myself ! certain chatzy rpers ( at least for the fandom i was rping in at the time ) were hell if we didn't go for long responses, and at the time i looked up to a lot of them, so now it’s just habit . tbh if i ever give a short reply / shorter reply than normal, it’s because i’m either tired or in a lot of pain ( just not enough to keep me from the blog LOL ) . for partners though i couldn’t care less, get as long or as short as you want !
BEST TIME TO WRITE: honestly, just whenever i can ! though typically it’s whenever i finally manage to get outta bed, so anywhere between 5 pm to 5 am my time is fair game
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): depends on if i want her to be :p
Tagging : @vagomvndo and @alurkingdisaster
