[monamoe]

Banging my head against the wall with some Riordanverse canon ships (or canon ages) before explaining how I would have done them

(no hate to Rick Riordan! I love his books and his writing style, but I do have problems with some of the writing choices he made). First I’ll start with the age gap relationships.

What I hate about the age gaps:

We didn’t need 16 year old Frank with 14 year old Hazel, because those are two wildly different age groups! To put it in a highschool setting, Hazel would be in Year 8-9 while Frank would be in Year 10 more or less?? He wodukve had his driving license when she hadn’t even done her IGCSEs. When he turned 18 she’d be 16. SIXTEEN. Bruh.

We didn’t need 16 year old Walt with 13 year old Sadie. Same problems as Frazel except worse by one year. (HE’D BE 18 WHEN SHE WOULD BE 15.)

And we didn’t need the 1000+ couples with under 18 characters! Especially with some of the character’s that are thousands of years old’s mythologies! (You know what I’m talking about).

How I would have written them!:

Frank x Hazel:

I assumed Frank was 15 or 14 tbh 💀 I don’t get why he needed to be 16?? It has no plot relevance and also it’s weird considering him and Hazel get together. I love Frazel but like… what is the point? Their relationship isn’t that terrible development wise, jsut kind of bland ig (in my opinion). I’d definitely have given them a lot more development and moments together before dating. I’d also like to make a point that their friendship was already going strong and they had a close bond before dating! If I were to rewrite the books in my own taste idk if I’d even make them get together? I think I appreciate them more when they have a deep bond without a labeled relationship. They’re close and they love eachother, and they want to be committed to eachother, but they don’t want to be dating <3

I also wanted to mention before going into Walt x Sadie that both Hazel and Sadie fall into the trope thingy Rick does where younger POC girls (Hazel is African American, Sadie is mixed) are paired up with 16 year olds. And it’s just really really weird. I’m white so I won’t comment too deeply on this, but I have read a really good essay about it somewhere but I sadly can’t find it :( if I do I’ll put it here.

Walt x Sadie

When I first read TKC, my first impression of Walt was a paragraph that described his appearance (random but I HATE HATE HATE his design in one of the graphic novels. He looks so adult and it’s weird since Sadie clearly has a crush on him. I don’t like the designs for many of the graphic novels in general ngl) and his age, which I read as fourteen, since it explicitly said he was two years younger than Carter. I can’t find the paragraph now, but every other source has said that he’s 16. Bc of this, I read the books assuming he was just a year older than Sadie and I still believe it even if it’s not canon. I wouldn’t change much about their relationship except age Sadie up to 15 and Walt down to 15 as well.

Now for the 1000+ relationships:

Anubis x Sadie x Walt

For Anubis x Sadie x Walt, I already did a sort of essay about how I would have written him and his relationship to Sadie to an extent (Idk how to link posts sorry😔 look up Anubis or TKC on my page and it should appear), even if I haven’t talked about his relationship to Walt yet (bc despite not being explicit, it’s clearly obvious Walt and Anubis are also dating, it’s not a situation we’re two guys love one girl, it’s a poly relationship). I wanted to mention it bc I thought it’d be weird not to talk about him.

Calypso x Leo / Calypso x Percy

Stop. It’s one thing to make a ship similar to Leo x Calypso were they both are at the same maturity rate while also having one be immortal, it’s another to make a teen date a goddess who has a mythological history of rape and SA?? No matter if the translation or copy of the Odyssey you own makes the ‘cheating’ consensual, the implications are STILL THERE. In PJO I also find Calypso bossy (which normally wouldn’t bother me? I’m also bossy so it’s jot that deep), rude and downright vindictive. The curse she put on Annabeth that happened in Tartarus? The blame on Percy for ‘leaving her’ and the whole ‘he promised to free me from my prison’ when he LITERALLY DIDNT. Percy promised to build her a garden in his city (or something like that sorry 😭), not to free her. Just. In general this relationship makes me feel icky and I heavily dislike it.

So that’s all for now, I’m tired, gn everyone! If I missed anything or got anything wrong feel free to correct me <3

confession time: i had the biggest crush on my igcse history professor back in high school

[kidovna]

ok but. which board did you study in and on a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate it

i studied in an IGCSE school till 4th std (rating 6/10. it’s fun when you’re a kid and it’s montessori based but thats it),

CBSE from 5th to 10th (rating 7.5/10 because i had moderate amounts of fun but 10th std math was my first experience with wanting to end it all),

and ISC for 11th and 12th (7/10 only because i took classes i like - political science, history, art and english.)

the only board i haven’t studied is state board and if i’d done that i’d be more proficient in reading/writing tamil. what was the point of studying sanskrit for 3 years.

[learningsanctum]

I already picked one out of 6/7 IGCSE subjects I promised to myself I’d commit to. Now I gotta pick the others.

I’m a mature student & already have graduated high school in my country but I want to apply to UK colleges, so here am I doing IGCSE’s. I’m applying to the Law with European Studies - so the one subject I have started is French! - so I’d love if you people helped me to chose which IGCSE subjects I should choose!

Also, if anyone know good tutors or resources that would be great because it’s not like I can afford the UK professors or preparatory courses with Brazilian currency. So anything that’s on budget (or other currencies) would help me greatly!

First post!!! (An intro)

My online name is Saheira-- Heira for short. I'm an IGCSE student studying science subjects along with history and computer science, and due to write next year.

I love animals in general, but cats the most! My favourite colour is dark green. My favourite book series is Harry Potter, and my Hogwarts house is Slytherin. The internet aesthetics I follow most are chaotic academia, STEM Academia and Green Academia.

I love reading, writing (when I'm NOT frustrated at my characters and my scraps of plots, anyway), daydreaming, listening to music, talking to my friends, scrolling Pinterest and Tumblr, and learning new things.

I started this blog as a personal blog, where I will just vent or share little things that inspire me, and maybe even tidbits of my writing, such as extracts and poems. I expect that most of the posts will be me venting/rambling but we shall see!!

I'm quite new to blogging in general, so if I make any mistakes, please let me know, and I will try to improve.

Let me tell you in advance that there is no guarantee that I will post regularly. You may hear me consistently for days and then I could disappear for a month, though I promise to try to post regularly.

ANYWAY, that was a long first post. I hope I don't end up being a bore, and I hope that you all (if there is anyone) have a great day/night!!
