augh found my old post abt pjo and disability from before the show came out but it was on ye olde blog so i’m literally just gonna copy and paste, 3, 2, 1—

ok now that i’ve got it on the brain, i want to talk about disability in pjo and specifically how calling percy jackson dumb or treating him as such is not only a mischaracterization, but ableism. as a quick note, i’m keeping this to just percy to avoid having this already long post be even longer, but there are other disabled characters in pjo worthy of discussion, though i hit many of the same points in this post. i bring up percy specifically because he is mostly the character i have seen people treat as stupid.

percy is a dyslexic teen with ADHD who comes from a low-income family, raised by a single mother, and deals with an abusive step-father. i cannot stress enough how much of his character is shaped by that experience, but as hard as it is to single out any one part, i am going to focus on his ADHD and dyslexia. this kid has nightmares of being forced to take tests in a straightjacket as teachers ask him if he’s stupid and withhold him from recess with his peers. he is constantly labelled as “troubled” and blamed for things he didn’t do or aren’t his fault. he is told, over and over again, even from trusted adults, that he is “not normal” (othering him). he bounces between schools. he struggles to make friends. he deals with bullying. he has difficulty studying and reading, even when invested. teachers struggle to connect with him and tend to just give up on him. these are real disabled experiences, and rick does a good job at presenting them in the pjo books. sometimes, it feels like everything is a struggle. you are living inside a system that not only is restricting, but actively works against and punishes you.

in contrast, CHB is a great example of how when environments meet the needs of disabled people, it hugely changes how disabled we are in that environment. demigod brains are hard-wired for ancient greek, not english, and they’re born impulsive, with high energy levels that help them survive battle—but aren’t very good for a classroom setting. but by having them read books in ancient greek, regularly do lots of training/physical activities, and have genuine opportunities to express themselves...they function pretty damn well. percy discovers that while he struggles academically, he is brilliant in combat and capable of saving the world numerous times—he is a hero. do you know how important that message is for disabled children? disabled adults, too? that we can be heroes?

it is here, in camp half-blood, that percy finds a place he belongs, that shows him his worth—finally, somewhere is built to not only include him, but to nurture and genuinely prepare him for the world outside its boarders. however, i think people forget that just because percy functions in the world of CHB and the gods, that does not mean he doesn’t face ableism in the mortal world—and that there is an entire group of people who see ourselves reflected in his character.

i could talk on for hours about how much being disabled shapes percy’s identity and how he interacts with the world—like how percy’s humor revolves around coping with his environment and actually displays a very low self esteem after being looked down upon his entire life. this kid doesn’t even have to say anything and he screams i had a neurodivergent childhood. but about 5-6 years ago, when i was more regularly tuned into the fandom, every time i saw someone call percy jackson dumb or an idiot, even jokingly, i raised an eyebrow, and now that the series is getting fresh coverage from disney+, i have wanted to make this post. so much of this kid’s life and personality comes from being treated like he’s dumb or incapable, so it’s troubling to watch part of the fanbase reflect the harmful parts of this character’s upbringing. i truly hope it does not become common again. it’s also one thing coming from a neurodivergent/disabled person with similar experiences (and even then i personally find it a little uncomfortable), it’s another to be said by a neurotypical/able bodied person.

percy jackson’s experiences make for very important representation, and for people to characterize him as just a goofy, unintelligent guy is not only an insult to his character as a kid who is intelligent, but previously lacked the environment to show it, but also ableist. so in the dawn of the new tv series era, i ask that we cut that shit out. rick riordan did not create rep for neurodivergent and disabled kids for them to be called stupid by the fanbase. even jokingly.

On The Jukebox: Trevor Horn - "Echoes: Ancient And Modern"

Bit of a different spin on a covers album as it's been put together by a producer, not an individual artist. As such, the album features a variety of vocalists. This feels very much like a "not to everyone's taste" kinda project and the reviews have been all over the place. Track listing as follows:

Tori Amos - "Swimming Pool (Drank)" (originally performed by Kendrick Lamar)

Seal - "Steppin' Out" (originally performed by Joe Jackson)

Rick Astley - "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" (originally performed by Yes)

Lady Blackbird - "Slave To The Rhythm" (originally performed by Grace Jones)

Marc Almond - "Love Is A Battlefield" (originally performed by Pat Benatar)

You know what? I’m tired that no one talks about this one particular moment when they are talking about depressing quotes from books.

I don’t remember the actual quote, because I’m shit at remembering exact stuff.

It was in the Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. A Leo chapter, we are introduced to Echo.

Echo haunts my psyche. She is my god damn Roman Empire. If Leo was going to save anyone, why couldn’t he save her? I didn’t like what’s her face. I’m sorry, I just don’t. Because of this stupid moment.

Leo sees her for a second, and thinks, wow she’s really beautiful, I’m not going to forget this. Only he forgets two seconds later.

It. Wasn’t. Fair. I am still fucking angry about it, and it’s been months since I’ve even reread the damn thing.

Justice for Echo.

Plotted RP with @wexarethewalkingxdead

Logan did his best to retain his calm, cool demeanor as the gates of Alexandria screeched shut behind him. He did his best to stand tall and unbothered by the people of the community almost staring at him. He resisted the urge to fidget and move under their burning gazes, forcing himself to breath slow and steady, showing a confidence that he certainly did not feel at the moment.

He wasn’t stupid. He knew what he looked like. Almost a carbon copy of his father. Fuck… the idea of Dad still hurt. He blinked quickly, feeling his eyes burn with unshed tears. He naively thought that after a year, he would of mourned and grieved enough, but every reminder of Negan was a painful wound that never refused to heal. Even if the man himself was dead and buried. Logan had done it himself, refusing any help from anyone else. It was his job. 

As a Savior.

As a son.

Logan wished he had Lucille, but he had left the bat on Shadow’s saddle. It was not wise to bring the weapon into Alexandria. Especially when he was here to beseech Rick for another mercy. All he held was a worn notebook of plans and ideas, idle comforts in ink and paper of a future he wanted to build for himself and for the people who wanted to follow him.

A nervous swallow, and Logan forced himself to speak with a self-assuredness he garnered from his mother and father’s memories.

“I need to talk to Rick.”

Rick didn't know how he'd managed to survive losing Carl. Following his son into death was not an option. He still had Judith. And Michonne needed him, too. She needed them both. So they'd grieved together and separate, and they did their best to ensure that Judith had everything she could ever need or want and that she was safe behind the walls of Alexandria. He focused on raising Alexandria up and making it something that his son would have been proud of.

The communities had been reluctant to welcome the Saviors that wanted fresh starts, but things were working out and some of them had found people to love them in the year since Negan's downfall and death. Now with the work on the bridge that would make it easier for the communities to access each other as well as have a regular route for trade and medical needs, he had found the Saviors from the Sanctuary weren't exactly willing so he'd promsied to make it worth their while. They had delivered on their end, but Rick was still waiting on the Saviors to follow through.

So when he was told that Logan was at the gates and requesting and auidence with him, he couldn't help but think that things might be starting to look up and be moving in the right direction. He slipped his Colt Python into his holster as he headed toward the gate with his mind on the mission of securing the manpower to get the bridge complete before winter set in.

He offered his hand to the younger man. The boy who looked so much like his father that even Rick had to do a double-take sometimes. "Logan," he gave a nod. "I was about to ride out to the Sanctuary in a few days. Thanks for saving me the trip."

How does one continue living after finishing the sun and the star?

Titta på ”Pink Floyd - The Return Of The Son Of Nothing (1971) #pinkfloyd” på YouTube

Early version of Echoes.

Listening to this, the first part that unfolds in space instead of the sea, makes too much sense to me. I love it!! 🌞💞💘

I found the lyrics, and they go:

Planets meeting face to face

One to the other cry, how sweet!

If endlessly we might embrace

A perfect union in space

If heaven might this one relent

And give us leave to shine as one

Our two lights here forever one light blended

And in that longing to be one

The parting summons sound is drawn

"I see you've got to travel on

And on and on around the sun"

[arrow-v-flash-polls]

I find these two episodes of Arrow to be the most nail bitting and intense viewing experiences, which is more intense for you?

[foreverandadaydarling]

And no one sings me lullabies

And no one makes me close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky

Echoes - Pink Floyd.

So like, Rick doesn't respect time travel and it more or less seems to be the same for all Ricks across the board. So as time goes on they would all find out stuff about their abandoned/alternate families organically, and imagine our Rick (still on his revenge kick) hearing for the first time that a lot of the Beth's are getting pregnant at 17. Then later that they're having baby girls named Summer and marrying the kid that knocked her up.

With memory Rick he says 'Are you one of those Rick's that moves in with abandoned adult Beth?'

Imagine across the central finite curve the Rick's that hear about what's going on, and maybe try to enter Beth's life then, try to help her with the pregnancy and the baby. We see in the show and the comics that there are more or less two kinds of Rick's, the ones that abandon their families and the ones that lost their families, and I have to imagine that some of the later told themselves hey, I can protect my family now, I want to go help Beth.

Granted I don't think things would end well for them, but hey, infinity means everything happens once.

And then as time goes on and the Rick's start hearing about another grandchild, Morty. We know that our Rick visited Morty as a baby, (likely without Beth and Jerry knowing), and imagine the longing to be a part of their life's. But he can't, because anytime a Rick starts to be happy with his family the family dies.

But then news about a Morty's brainwaves blocking out a Ricks breaks, and suddenly even the deadbeats are getting 'involved' with their family again. Rick and Morty, the duo found through infinity. And suddenly it's not so dangerous to be with your family, lots of Rick's are now hanging around, only to use Morty of course. Sure you still have like the Government after you, but they're nothing to worry about really. Having Rick's that don't think your Rick enough off your back though?

Idk this is a long rambling thought that was kinda hard to type out cause I didn't want to make it too long 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thought about it because of the pic below and I was like hmmmmmm

If you wanna talk more about stuff like this though or RnM hit me up !!! The brain rot is real 🥲
