Still love that the tiny second sort of moon earth has Kamoʻoalewa has a 366 day year because its slower orbiting the sun or something like that. Its like a quasi satellite asteroid thing

Thank goodness... Red Velvet is under the pile of cake hounds. Pile is putting it lightly though, it looks more like a layer cake with a Red Velvet inside.

Zephyros contacted you? Hm... Through my account too... That's fine. I don't mind that one.

Now what to do with three more legendaries... One of which is very blatantly burning stuff because it is now brulee-ing the creme brulees I was baking. I should probably untangle that Moonlight first though. The Sea Fairy... Seems sad? Hm. The Fire Spirit is keeping their distance though from Zephyros. I wonder if it is because Zephyros is not a normal Wind Archer...

Yeah indeed, recently buddies themselves has been contacted me through their owner’s account rn, which I personally do not mind.

Yeah, Moonlights tend to get themselves tangled trying to sleep in higher places, its quite amusing really, the Sea Fairy may be a bit conflicted tho it is possible that sometime might have happen to her before, as for Fire Spirit, while it may be the case, as Zephyros is the guardian of life and thus Fire Spirit may think he might attack if he gets too near him due to his nature to set mostly plant life on fire,

If you wish to have them all checked up, feel free to visit our center and we will do a through out check up and check to see if they have chips in case they have a owner and were abandoned.

actually I do want to talk about Sally Jackson a tad more because one criticism I've been hearing about her book counterpart more recently is "book Sally is one-dimensional: the perfect mother with no flaws" and that just has me biting my cheek because one part of her book counterpart that I always thought was ripe with discussion and didn't make it to the show is that Sally states that it was selfish of her to keep Percy close. It's one of the last things she says to him before she's "killed" by the minotaur.

And there's so much that we don't know about Sally because we view her from Percy's eyes. From his perspective we know that she's exceedingly kind, she never raises her voice to him or even Gabe, and she endured a horrible and abusive relationship to protect her son from monsters (of a different kind).

But there are things we can piece together from the text: Sally has known about CHB for a long time, apparently since before Percy was even born because Poseidon told her he wanted to send Percy there; she was told that it was a mistake for her to keep Percy close - who told her that, we're not sure, she only uses the phrase they; she's been in contact with Grover through out the school year; she knows that she can't cross the camp boundary line, which means either Grover or someone else (Chiron? Poseidon?) told her that, and that she understood that there was place that Percy would be safe from monsters.

And all of these little details are so interesting because it does make you wonder just how much she did or didn't know. Was her self assessment right? Was it selfish of her to keep Percy close?

On one hand, she kept him close because she loved him, alongside the fear that if she sent him to camp, she would be saying goodbye for good -- so is it even fair to call the act of keeping him close selfish? Or perhaps, much like Chiron, she assumed keeping Percy in the dark would be safer?

But on the other hand, Percy had been attracting monsters all his childhood, she understood camp was a safe place from monsters, and she had apparently been told explicitly that it was a mistake for her to keep him close.

And then adding in the factors of: Percy is her only family in the entire world, she's been suffering with Gabe for years, sacrificing so much in order to keep Percy safe when he's at home... but even that has a touch of sad irony because when we meet Percy in tlt, its at point when he's not really home at all -- he's been regularly sent off to boarding schools, so much so that he's internalized it as his own short-coming.

And all of this isn't to say "Omg Sally is actually horrible" or to assert definitely that she is selfish... but more to speak to the fact that in the books, she's not an all-perfect 2-dimensional mother. And her self-assessment of selfishness is something that is really interesting to explore and debate given the implications of what she apparently did (or did not) know about the godly world. I feel there's even an argument to be made that Sally being "selfish" could be a reflection of Percy's fatal flaw.

The ghost king was a cat.

No one, not even Constantine, knew of this fact. Until the day the eldritch ghost of the infinite was summoned by a wayward cult who wished for the destruction of the world.

He was a large cat, actually. About, roughly, bigger than a car with green fur, an eyepatch over one of his eyes, large horns-thought one was broken-, and a flaming green crown floating above his head.

The ghost king laid on his side and the summoning seemingly interrupted him from... grooming? A smaller cat that laid next to the king that, while smaller than the king (or perhaps his father?) was larger than the average dog.

Meanwhile, Pariah Dark is not exactly pleased he was summoned, with obvious intent to destroy/enslave a world. How rude of them. Don't they know he's on, what was it?

Yes, his redemption arc!

the acolyte confirming mae and osha are 'technically' the same person and giving them opposite arcs (osha choosing the dark side by murdering sol in cold blood vs mae choosing the light side by letting her sister/her attachment go because it's what she wants/what will be 'best' for her) truly emphasizes star was' core message that no one is above the dark and everyone can be redeemed. they're the same person. it can go either way at any time. we can choose the dark at any point. we can choose the light at any point.

there's probably other posts out there talking about this, or maybe its just obvious so no one actually thinks it needs to be pointed out but i'm insane about how differently monty acts when he's around esther vs. edwin

because the only time i can think of where monty's genuinely smiling in a scene with esther is the very first one where he's just been turned into a boy. other than that he's quiet, reserved, and kind of snarky around her, which i've always assumed to be a defense mechanism. the moment he has any positive feelings, like a crush on edwin? esther's immediately scolding him and he has to reassure her that he's loyal. so he clearly learned quickly that he has to hide who he really is from her

but with everyone else? he's so genuinely happy. like he seems like he's having a great day all the time, and even when he does something that seems a little rude like with his first meeting with charles, he does so with a smile on his face. this, of course, makes him do better at having the agency members trust him, which is his job, but he seems so happy in an almost child-like sense, where he's giggling and saying a little "whee!" when he pushes himself off on the swings

but when edwin rejects him, he loses all of that. he starts treating everyone else with the same snarky coldness that he used for esther. and its so interesting to me when he tells esther he's been found out in ep7. because he genuinely faces it with such a lack of fear. he doesn't hesitate or anything, and its because there's nothing for him as a boy. he knows esther's full strength, but he knows that nothing can hurt him more than being a crow-turned-boy with feelings that everyone hates him for and nowhere to go to.
