I’m rereading PJO because the new series is coming out on Disney + and I wanted to refresh my memory and I was thinking about Percy earlier and how this kid has so much nerve, like the audacity this kid has, dueling a GOD, the god of war no less. And the way he can almost never keep his mouth shut. Always making silent remarks, making enemies out of being you do not want to make enemies out of. Like, wtf? Idk if this is bravery or stupidity? Probably a bit of both, and that got me thinking, you know who this loudmouth, sassy, sarcastic little shit reminds me of???

Guess.

Neil Fucking Josten.

Oh my gods.

Like.

I remember when I first read aftg, I thought, “huh this Neil kid reminds me of someone” and I could never figure out who, now I know, it’s PERCY JACKSON

They are the SAME character in a different font.

The sassiness? The sarcasm? The nerve? The impulsiveness? The recklessness? The bravery? The stupidity? The quick thinking? The inability to keep their mouth shut? The undying personal loyalty??? To the point it’s a fault????

Even the inner monologues are similar.

No wonder I’m so attached to both of them.

Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts

Thank you, and goodnight

hi its me once again asking if you know anything about japan?

also hiii sparkyyy hruu? its tuesday for some reason hope the month isnt treating you so badly

also why tf are the days capitalized?? lmao 😭😭 like the first word idk

Oooh! Kinda kinda from my time praticiens Chado and aikido and jap classes. Also between my obsession with Japanese snacks and foods, I’d say I know a bit hehe :)

So formality is important and there’s different ways of speaking between casual and formal and you’d usually use the formal conjugations and words when talking to elders. And there’s also passive form etc…. The language is quite complex and has many levels.

Respect ties into that like what way you speak would be influenced by respect and how old the person is.

Ig the distinctions btwn kimonos vs yukatas should be mentioned?

But Yukata translates to bath clothes so you can tell it’s more casual and it’s mostly worn in summer as it’s more breathable and kimonos are more formal and usually made of fancier materials like silk rather than cotton

Also bowing when you great people is a thing, and then in Chado during the tea ceremony there’s different way the tea hostess and the guests may bow to each other depending on stages of the ceremony and each bow has a different formality, its a whole thing but quite interesting :)

(also there’s two kinds of matcha: thick vs thin tea and the ceremonies and formality surrounding them is also different, like formality and respect is a big thing)

Beep, sorry for the ramble haha, but last note is food is so good, I love love love ramune, daifuku, chazuke and udon haha. Natto is a controversial one but personally I like it… it’s an acquired taste ig?

Haha, I hope your Tuesday is going well too!! Ilysm
