#AT SEVEN YEARS OLD

[abluehappyface]

Can we see the poem

Yeah sure

Tw: Bullying, Sui mention, Othering, Real life events

"I'm in the Third Grade"

I want to lock myself away

Turn my personality off

The world wants me dead

No, it's not your fault

Look inside yourself

See how strange you are

Were you always this way?

I guess so

Write down your stories

Read them all out loud

They react in disgust

Do you see it now?

The world is not your friend

It never truly was

Now look through a different lens

See what they've done

"Why are you so weird?"

I didn't know I was

"You're really different"

Does it matter?

"We're interrogating you"

What for?

"You're not like us"

Is that wrong?

"You always play with boys, play with us instead"

No thanks

I'd rather cut off my head

"Girls are mean!"

"Do you think you're better than ME!?"

"I'm VERY smart you know!"

So am I

Confidence makes you cry

"Don't wear those again"

"They don't look good on you"

I didn't want to anyway

"You think I care about what you think!?"

"We're going to chase you down!"

The two of us ran

But they caught up to us

Bruised our little hands

"We're going to chase you too!"

And so I ran again

I got too fast for them

"You can't do that we're older than you!"

"She thinks she's so smart"

No, I KNOW I am

Despite your torment

I still have self worth (for now)

"Well I'm better than you!"

Prove it

"I'm captain of my ice skating team!"

So?

"You're friends with the weirdos"

How are we weird?

"Why can't you just be normal?"

What's wrong with me?

"I don't like you!"

I don't like you either

"I'm telling on you!"

The teacher never punishes me

"How come you aren't friends with the girls in your class?"

All the girls are rude

"That's not very nice!"

They aren't very nice either

"You need to learn to make friends"

Why should I?

"Friends" end up hurting me

And I don't know why

But if I ask her

She'll say "I had a good time"

No you didn't

You're living a lie

Look at what they did to you

Do you think that's ok?

The way they bullied you

Every single day

Those third graders hated you

Told you "I think you should die"

They were so, SO cruel to you

Yet you never questioned why

You didn't do anything wrong

You're not broken inside

They were just cold

One day you'll no longer cry

But I'm still scared inside

Those "third graders" still lurk at night

Now they could hurt me worse

I wonder if I should hide...

Butchness is about becoming, lesbianism is about growth, life is about transitions.

Take up your space.

danyal al ghul memes because i don't think i've done those yet for this au.

(the jason one is in reference to the fanon headcanon/au that Jason and Damian potentially knew each other and interacted while jason was in the league. I've thought about it before in context of this au, but haven't thought about it enough to feel inspired or motivated to make a post exploring the idea)

(diablito means, as you can guess, 'little devil'. while i'm neutral to latino jason, i think the nickname is cute as fuck and was danny's main nickname from Jason. i don't wanna touch that timeline so im not gonna decide how old they were when Jason was there.)

Skulker: i am the ghost zone's greatest hunter! i capture and hunt creatures both rare and dangerous. Danyal: a poacher?? you're a poacher?? you poach animals??Skulker:...i sense i've made a mistake of some kind.

anyways that was the day that Skulker cemented himself as Danny's no.1 opp, and still remains there to this day even if he and Vlad are both viciously fighting for second. Out of everyone in the the AP rogues gallery, Skulker will be the first to be thrown under the bus in terms of 'o shit here comes phantom fucking RUN'.

hey btw before you start being angry at the 10 year old sephora kids and the ipad kids, remember that we should feel bad for them. because the world has failed them. it is not these kids faults that the world is so focused on materialistic things and that their parents don't know how to talk to them. that is the fault of social media and bad parenting. i said what i said.

[dollarstoreartsupplies]

something I think we as a fandom don't talk about enough is the fact that during his first guide mission grover was 14. And satyrs age half the rate of humans.

grover was emotionally and mentally seven years old. seven. of course he couldn't save everyone he was seven years old!!!!

[essektheylyss]

You know what's hilarious, if Ludinus was indeed a young man being traumatized by the end of the Calamity. Deirta Thelyss is almost certainly older than he is.

This is not relevant but I think Essek should bring this up, just to be a bitch about it.

I actually think it should be illegal to make bikinis in children's sizes and sell them to children. Nothing makes me more angry than seeing a tiny little girl in a bikini. Fills me with rage actually

hello. is anyone out there

Ok, but how did I only just realize that their fatal flaws are the reason Percy and Annabeth fall?

Like, we've got Annabeth, who's fatal flaws is pride, who has known her fatal flaw is pride since she was thirteen! And here she is riding high after beating the quest noone else has even survived!!! She found the Athena Parthenos!!! She beat a giant spider using only her wits!!! Of course she managed to cut all the spiderwebs first try, of course she doesn't need to double check that!!!!

And Percy. Percy "my fatal flaw is loyalty" Jackson. He doesn't even think. Of course he's not letting her go. Letting anyone go would be a betrayal, but this is Annabeth. Nothing else matters!!! No! Other! Choice! Matters! It doesn't matter that they'll probably die. It doesn't matter he might be more help above. It doesn't matter that he's been missing for a year and has not seen his mother once that entire time!!!!! It does not matter!!!! Because Annabeth is hanging off a cliff and he's the only thing keeping her from falling and letting her go would be a betrayal of the highest order and he cannot do that. So of course he falls with her. What other choice is there?

"Dear passengers, if I might have your attention. We are currently passing though a picturesque valley and if you look to the right of the train, there are some beautiful snowy mountains in the distance. And on your left is, of course, the corpse of a dead god."
