Gods and Humans react to finding Loki/Buddha teaching Eri!Reader to do an evil laugh (I think you mentioned she’s easier for you to write for children?)

Link: https://youtube.com/shorts/ubIx1H1UBsM?feature=share

I rewatched the video endlessly

-Boss music filled the air, growing louder and louder, causing some confusion as the gods, who weren’t watching you today, as it was a day you were with the human side of your family.

-When the door was kicked down, revealing Adam, who was surrounded by an intimidating aura and only fury and the promise of pain and death was on his face, many panicked, wondering why he was so pissed off.

-Zeus approached, looking a bit amused at the father of all humanity, “What’s brought all this on?” Adam’s glare, his anger, wasn’t directed at Zeus specifically, as he spoke, “Where’s Loki?”

-The god in question had been trying to tip-toe out of the room, trying to sneak away and as Adam said this, all attention immediately went to the trickster god who froze, eyes wide and holding his hands out, feigning his innocence, “I didn’t do it!”

-Behind Adam came Lu Bu who was carrying you, while you were looking around, a bit confused as to why you were here, not realizing what Loki had taught you.

-Adam had the trickster in his grasp almost instantly, glaring down at him, “You taught Y/N something strange again!” Many were quickly glaring at Loki, demanding to know what he had taught you, as the last time Loki ‘taught’ you something, you had shouted the word ‘fuck’ when you dropped and broke something.

-Knuckles were being cracked as Lu Bu passed you to Hercules, who wanted a hug and he asked you, “What did Loki teach you this time?”

-You beamed brightly, “He taught me how to laugh!” this didn’t sound too bad as many were confused, as you were still learning how to do certain things as Brunnhilde looked over at Adam, “What is wrong with that?”

-Adam looked over at you with a soft smile, all his anger leaving, “Y/N- show them your new laugh that Loki taught you.” You beamed before holding your hands out to the side and throwing your head back and began to laugh like you were evil, something like what a villain would do.

-Everyone but Adam, Lu Bu, and Loki turned white in shock, as Loki had started laughing, thinking it was hysterical, “Good job Y/N! You finally got the head movement right!”

-Brunnhilde sighed softly, face palming, “Loki… you have a twenty second head start.” Adam dropped him and immediately he ran as many of the gods came over to you, some thought it was funny, but you were their adorable little Y/N- innocent and angelic- they didn’t want you laughing like some evil villain!!

-Once everyone was gone, leaving you with Lu Bu who picked you up again, “C’mon- let’s head back, I’ll teach you how to feed Red Hare.” You threw your hands up with a cheer, as you had been wanting to see Red Hare and Lu Bu couldn’t help but grin at you, seeing your elation.

Forget Spiderman Percy,what about Spiderpunk Percy?Who choose his name because he's crustpunk but also because she's transfem bigender and Spiderman and Spiderwoman were already taken by Nico and Hazel and they're a Spider trio with Percy being 22,Nico 17 and Hazel 16 and having been the Spidersiblings of Earth 27 for 4 years by Atsv.Sally adopted Nico and Hazel in their toddler years but died under mysterious circumstances when Percy was 12 and he had to resort to self-parentification since Smelly Gabe was their 'guardian' and he took the brunt of the abuse on purpose so his little siblings could be safer.Hazel was bitten first so she doned the Spiderwoman mantle that'd been lost with Sally's death because she was the first 27 Spiderwoman but kept it a secret from her kids for protection,Nico gets bitten next and joins her as Spiderman and finally Percy is bitten too while dealing with radioactive sludge during eco-activism he was participating in

He's got a Gwen Stacy variant too and they're afrolatina like him and turn out to be an Anomaly by turning into Ghostspider a good deal into the Spidersiblings run and when they join Spider Society,obviously he instantly hits it off with Hobie and they clown on Miguel and have a lot of the same interests so they do them together often and Hobie's friends with Nico and Hazel too,being especially close to Hazel because he thinks she's the most adorable thing ever and loving to annoy Nico's lil black emo ass.Percy's also a dad in every way but having bio kids so he forces Hobie into healthy habits and coping mechanisms because realistically he's gotta have a lot of problems that i don't doubt like Gwen in Across will be explored in Beyond and speaking of Gwen,Percy's pretty much her new dad and mom who makes her do awful things like building up her self-worth again and spending time offduty actually having zero stakes fun and Hobie sees Percy as his eldest sister and she views the two of them in familial light back since they're a trio like she is with her legal siblings and Peter B's the only Peter Parker she dosen't think is a cornball and they hang out sometimes and have been on missions together but not nearly as many as her and Hobie who's her favorite Spiderperson tied with her homedimension ones

Percy's also got tons of street cred as Spiderpunk and as Percy Jackson-He killed his canon event cop Zeus Grace,he's defeated triple digit villains,he improved the view on Mutants by using his Spiderpersonhood to shine light on them and help out directly,he's got some narly scars from all his herowork,the Daily Bugle is highkey scared to shittalk him due to all the brutal things he's done and survived and as Percy,she works a fast food service job on the weekdays but spends her weekends attending protests and charity events and is very well known amongst other New York punks but especially in Manhattan specifically just as Percy in general and she's the go to for baby punks to learn what they need to and Nico's goth punk and Hazel's pastel goth punk because no younger siblings and pseudo-kids of hers were gonna be raised as normies or posers.She's a popular flirtation and thirst target but has never been interested in anyone except the 27 Gwen Stacy,a pastel punk like our Gwen and they grew up together

Just.......Spiderpunk Percy.Regular Percy's character relies on being a huge weirdo with no conformity capability and there's a lot of transfem subtext to her so it fits pretty well and it's why him and Hobie are almost the same!!You KNOW their basement shows go so fucking hard

[nighttimeebony]

I just got into the Percy Jackson series, so here is a collection of my actual thought process while reading the first book that I bothered to write down. So, spoilers for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief under the cut. I guess.

EDIT: part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5

Aww, Percy. Neurodivergent rep, I am fed

Is Mr. Brunner Dionysus? I think Dionysus is a major character in this series. But then what’s the wheelchair for? And Dionysus in mythology doesn’t have a beard like that. Oh! What if he’s actually Hephaestus? That would explain the wheelchair and the bearded old man look.

HOLY FUCK IT’S THE MINOTAUR

HOLY SHIT SALLY’S DEAD WHY

Is that tree on the property line the Olive Tree from the founding of Athens myth? Because Percy is the son of Poseidon?

Percy’s dream has got to be some kind of foreshadowing about Poseidon and Zeus fighting each other. Zeus would be the bird because he’s a sky god, and Poseidon would be the horse because in a really really old myth, Poseidon turned himself into a horse to chase down Demeter. Also, the voice from underground egging them on is definitely Hades, because god of the underworld and all that

Also goddammit, Hades is the villain?? Why????? Goddammit, not again…

Mrs. Dodds was definitely a fury, but she’s called a Kindly One. Wonder what that’s about

There’s some Thing about characters dissolving when they die. Wonder what that’s about

Oh shit. I was wrong. Brunner is Chiron. Interesting. Now the whole teacher thing makes sense

Wow, Dionysus is an asshole in this one. He’s more like his older Orphic version than the newer, modern Dionysus I’m familiar with

Everyone is so in love with Luke it's embarrassing

I just adore how casually neurodivergent Percy is. All the jokey references to Dyslexia and ADHD, I just—I love it so much. And I love that it actually is dyslexia and ADHD. And that apparently all the half-bloods are dyslexic and ADHD too. We love to see it.

Oh my God, I love all of these children so much.

HOLY SHIT AUNTY EM IS A GORGON

I WAS RIGHT

I find it amusing that Hermes named the activation password for his magic shoes after his mother

I wonder what Persephone's like

Grover's gonna be the friend to betray Percy, isn't he? He better fucking not be. I love him. If Grover's the Traitor MHA-style, I'm gonna riot

One difference between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson (the characters) is that Harry marvels at every new instance of magic. But after Percy learns about the magic system, he just stops giving a shit. Once he learns that magic is real, he is surprised by absolutely nothing and does not question the irrelevant stuff, like Annabeth's invisibility hat, or how the fuck a ballpoint pen can turn into a sword.

Percy is such a sassy, sarcastic little shit and I love him so fucking much.

ECHIDNA

"Isn't that a kind of anteater?" I love this child

*Percy wondering what all the mirrors are for in the Tunnel of Love*

Me: "It's gotta be a kink thing."

*While Ares and Aphrodite were smooching with each other they could look at their favorite person: themselves*

Me: "Called it."

Wait……. Is the traitor Luke????? He's like the only other "friend" Percy has

Thank God Hades isn't the bad guy

Aw, I wanted to see Persephone. Don't worry, Percy, I'm disappointed too

You know what, from now on, anytime a protagonist has to live with an abusive parent figure, the only resolution I will accept is turning that bitch to stone and selling him on the black market.

Thank God Percy can have a nice, stable home life with his mom in between rounds of risking his life.

I'm so on-board with Percabeth, and this friend group as a whole

I FUCKING CALLED IT! LUKE WAS THE TRAITOR!

Thank God the characters in this book have a fucking brain. Percy's an impulsive little chaos gremlin, but he's not an idiot.

I'm kind of curious to see what the shipping side of the Percy Jackson fandom looks like, cuz Percabeth is great, and I'm pretty sure that's the main canon pairing, so I'm curious….

Honestly, I can't wait for Percy and Annabeth to start dating. I'm so excited to see what their relationship will be like in a romantic context

I love this book and I want more immediately.

[consumeroflemoans]

Hello, you asked for Vilidia asks and I'm gonna try my damndest to deliver because I crave content of them as well, so I'm just gonna knock out a few scenarios I have in my head, they're a bit half baked, but I hope that's fine

So the social event thought, Vil is famous, Idias family is kinda too, he's bound to be forced to attend something at some point and does acting coincide with conglamerate shit? Probably not, but I don't know how being famous works and a man can dream

This then could lead to a classic run-in and then "chilling outside because you're the only person here I like or maybe even know", but what I personally think is just a tad funnier is if the rest of Idias whole extended family was also present and Vil can be introduced to those guys for a nice little "wtf Idia has friends/a boyfriend", depends on wether he'd be willing to tell them, and not only that it's Vil fucking Schönheit

Of course there's Mr. and Ms. Shroud which in and of itself already good, but an idea I've seen floating around too is that Idia has a cousin who could be TWST Zeus and I like that thought plus aunts, uncles, whoever you want really

Secondly, something smaller is that I like to think Idia at some point in his life is going to get glasses because I have glasses come on, he sees more blue light than sunlight

And now that could go over into funky glasses frame shopping because just because glasses are made to make you see better doesn't mean that they aren't just as much capable of looking fun and I think Vil would agreePlus you could also get a nice chain to attach if you wanted to

Proceeding with more fashion stuff, now it's no uncommon scenario to see Vil dress Idia up a bit, but I also like the thought that by the end Idia is so flustered that his hair is entirely pink and now the outfit colours Vil picked out don't work anymore

I might come back at some point and tell you about more thoughts, but I feel like that's enough for now and I hope you enjoyed them

Have a nice day :]

Dude I am going absolutely insane

AUACAUA omg

Vil and Idia at some stuffy party they don’t want to be at is golden.

I absolutely adore Vil having the chance to meet Idia’s family but also consider:

They’re the only two outside and already familiar with each other. Vil notices Idia visibly uncomfortable. He doesn’t want to have to dress up and socialize, that much is obvious. They stand in silence for a long time, far enough apart to not intrude on one another. Vil mentally debates the whole time, wondering if he could be irresponsible for just one night. He wants to help Idia, but he has an obligation to make his presence known at the party. Eventually he decides, sweeping over towards Idia in whatever elegant gown he donned. Vil asks point blank if Idia wants to get out of there. Idia’s obviously taken aback but stutters out an agreement. They take a night out, finding some gazebo far from any human life and spend the night together. They’re still in their formal wear as they explore together and chat, but neither of them mind much. Outside of the obligations of the party, it’s nice to have a chance to be themselves.

Augh actually on the topic of Vil and family I feel like he’d be kind of shocked by Idia having a large family. It’s always been just him and his dad, so him suddenly having a massive extended family would be so fun. Also I feel like he’d be the kind of guy to absolutely adore kids. He might not have them for himself, but he loves Ortho and any of Idia’s younger cousins. Idia finds it really endearing seeing Vil get along so well with his family.

ALSO OMG IDIA EITH GLASSES

I’m just imagining Vil looking over the options with Idia, both of them trying to find the perfect one to match his vibe. They can’t seem to find the perfect one, so they take matters into their own hands. Both of them have the money and talent to design custom glasses. Vil would sketch out designs for different outfits and scenarios while Idia would build the frames and add some sort of techno magic to them. He can’t have boring regular glasses after all.

Omg one of my favorite things ever is them combining Idia’s technological genius with Vil’s skill with design. They could pull together so many cool tech savvy outfits

Just them trying fashion together!!! Aaaaa Vil dressing Idia, standing back to appraise him, and saying Idia looks stunning. Idia immediately breaks, his hair flaring a bright pink and Vil watches him smugly. Vil adores how easily he can break Idia and he often will whisper small compliments into his ear just to see that reaction. They pass each other in the halls and Vil leans down for a brief moment to say Idia looks cute. Idia tugs his hood over his head and quickly shuffles away, now unable to think about anything besides Vil.

Swipe you thank you so much for feeding me. As promised I am kissing you platonically /silly

Now excuse me while I die

[shes-a-badkid]

Thoughts while reading The Trials of Apollo - “The Hidden Oracle” with my nephew-

1. Lester?! Lester?!? Zeus, my dude…

2. Apollo getting the shit kicked out of him right off the bat just makes sense

3. What an entrance from Meg- I love her already

4. Apollos reaction to pregnancy is basically my reaction

5. Apollo being infatuated with Sally Jackson is correct. Everyone should be in awe of her

6. I love the idea of Meg just accidentally creating this little monster- I love her and her little creation

7. Percy and his constant fight with the law

8. Nico and Will being all cute ☺️

9. I love Apollo being like whatever makes my kid happy- if he like the dark and broody type so be it, and no I don’t care about him having a boyfriend- I myself have had a variety of lovers from all the genders

10. Mr. D isn’t back 😞

11. Chiron is stressed

12. “I have a note from my doctor.” “I’m his doctor” Adorable

13. Leo Valdez my sweet boy gets a mention (and Nico is pissed at him- I love it)

14. Harley is a little psycho and I love him

15. Peaches is a terror and I want him to stick around forever

16. We better find out Megs past soon because I am intrigued

17. The woods had you- now if this was a horror book that shit would be terrifying, like it’s eerie in this, but in a horror book that would fuck me up

18. Chiron, my guy, priorities

19. “My only rules are stay alive and don’t kill each other” I’m adopting Harley- he’s a little psycho and I adore him.

20. Okay- Apollo is kind of a douche, BUT he does seem to care for his kids, at least more than most of the gods

21. I have never wanted something more than I have wanted a combat ukulele

22. An ant the size of a grizzly bear?! No thank you

23. Eros is a dick. End of sentence.

24. I too would curse Zeus

25. I’m sorry Rick, did you just say that there was a 1967 Chevy impala being taken to the ants lair?!? Did you think I was just gonna let that slip past? Nope- new headcannon that brings me joy and may not make sense- Sam and Dean Winchester are demigods (who their godly parent(s) is/are I do not know) that never went to one of the camps because they have been trained to fight monsters all their lives- so they just like dealt with them

26. I like this humbled Apollo- wanting to save Meg, singing of his loves and admitting to their tragic end being his fault

27. Meg- I’m disappointed in you but you were abused and manipulated, so I don’t blame you, I’m just sad

28. Apollo fucking getting shit done

29. Dryads are fucking beasts- like heartbreaking that they sacrificed themselves, but so badass

30. Aww Apollo is growing so much! We stan growth

31. I love that the deadliest prophecies come in limerick form

32. Meg, sweetie, no

33. MY SON! LEO! MY SWEET BOY! 🖤🖤🖤

34. Now- I’m not saying Leo deserves getting slapped around by the whole camp because of what he did with no warning, BUT I am saying I would join the line for scaring us all

35. My boy being so cute with Calypso, love it! (She’s mortal now and if she dies and breaks Leo’s heart I will scream)

[miraculousbohemian]

alright rating the Gods that have been cast for PJO, go. (Not by numbers, I'm doing this off of a screen rant article)

Lance Reddick as Zeus. Amazing honestly. Such a shame he passed last March, he would have been amazing to see the next few seasons. Can't say much except rip Lance.

Next up, Toby Stephens as Poseidon. idk much abt him, haven't seen him anywhere, he looks like an older Glenn Powell. Yep that's it, imma go watch both top guns again

Jay Duplass as Hades. ok I like it Picasso. Once again. Don't know him from anything but he seems ok. Very Hades-y like.

Now onto the man, the myth, the legend. Dionysus. Played by Jason Mantzoukas, I fucking adore this choice, ik some people wanted Jack Black, and that's amazing too, but so far, he's killing it.

And now, Adam Copeland as Ares. *big sigh* we all know what I think about Ares, and idk if Rick is gonna fix some of the things I saw people say Ares said or did in the books, I sure hope so because- *entire fucking essay* anyway, I'm sure he'll be great, but I won't love him more then Kevin.

Hermes. You little Puerto Rican shit, how did you end up here. (as someone lovingly called him in a post) I mean, ok, unexpected but alright. But who am I to judge, we had Percy floss, why can't Hamilton be the God of Travelers, Thieves and Merchants?

AND NOW. HEPHAESTUS. TIMOTHY FUCKING OSMUNDSON. AAAA- I, honest to God, screamed when I saw him on the cast list, because. *points at XWP* that shit. We're gonna have so much, but it'll all be worth it once I see this man not getting himself killed at Ares's blade (looking at you, Eli)

idk why they listed Chiron here but it's amazing casting so far. I watched all 50 episodes of Young Hercules and I think Ryan Gosling should have a brief cameo just for funnsies.

they have not cast Aphrodite yet, but yeah. I will seriously not see Aphrodite as anyone other then Alex Tydings but alright. Artemis and Apollo have also not been cast as of 6.1. but it would be so funny if someone who's connected to other Greek mythology focused projects somehow gets cast, I mean, look at Timothy.

My man went from Xena, to spn, to Percy Jackson in a matter of 20 years that's nuts. Really looking forward to seeing him cause, yk. Eli.

PJO TV SHOW Reaction Episode 4

Alright, time to see how he went from the Arch to the River (As a midwesterner, that always bugged me). As always, at least slight spoilers for potentially future seasons

But first, flashbacks! Baby Percy is scared to swim and that is frankly adorable

This wholesome flashback is now interrupted by a terrifying nightmare

Thalia discussion!!!

Ah Lil Annabeth has a cute sleeping cap

Thalia and Luke! and Little Annabeth! I hope we can see that flashback

Where is grover in their sleeping area?

Ah more Godly Criticism about their shitty ass parenting. And shitty mortal parenting from Frederick and Stepmom

Oh there's Grover. Cute Lil grouchy sleepy Grover

Sorry, these kids are adorable and I am not ready for the horrors they are about to face

Oh sweeties, never try and figure out a prophecy. You'll just get a headache

Centaurs!!! And pollution :( Pan mention!!!

Oh good, Annabeth is speaking truth about the prophecies.

What is up with their cabin?

Oh Annabeth...

Percy, trust me, you don't want to meet the werewolves

Oh! Echidna! So she trashed their room for the bolt? Makes more sense than Zeus sending her to kill Percy and preventing them from getting the bolt tbh

Echidna, you are being very creepy, and cant Grover smell her? Oh but he did figure out the smashed window, good for him

I'm sorry. But cute little Percy is not very intimidating. Don't worry, you'll get there eventually

"This has always been a family story" Yeah i guess that's true. I love this conversation of Monsters and Demigods

Ok nevermind she does want to kill them. Was she sent by Zeus tho?

And Percy got stabbed. That's not good

I love a good ole creepy train scene

Oh, we are making the Arch an Athenian temple? That's pretty cool actually... I think? If we ignore the whole racist/entitled Manifest Destiny aspect of what the arch represents and how it led to the genocide of Native Americans, destruction of nature, and the near eradication of wild buffalo and wolves....

(I just like the idea that monuments are secret temples. I wonder if Hoover Dam is one too. That could actually lead to a whole debate/discussion/headcanons. Is it just Greek? What about the Washington Monument as an Egyptian symbol? What about Leif Erickson in Canada? What about Museums? Is the Statue of Liberty a temple for Libertas?)

Well, at least Annabeth and Grover briefly discussed it the aspect of what it is and the architectural significance vs the historical significance

The poison!

Just uh...casually bath him in the fountain. I don't think the Mist can help much with that

Honestly, if their best plan is to pray to the Gods for help they are kind of fucked and very desperate

Oh wait, they think Athena sent Echidna? Or at least won't help them

Eh, kinda tracks with how horrible the Gods are to Demigods

Ooh, Annabeth vs Chimera? Brave girl but Percy is too loyal for that shit. And Reckless

Go Percy go!

Oh! So the River is just going to grab him. That works. I guess

Honestly if I was the Mississippi River God I would be pretty damn pissed at mortals, that poor river has been through A Lot. I wonder how it worked when the gods came over, was it kinda like when they went to rome and integrated the local gods? Because the Indigenous Tribes already had gods and what not, especially for nature, or is it more like the distinction between Greek/Egyptian/Norse?

Anyways, pretty good episode, the pacing seems a bit weird, but I liked it overall.

[crowcaws]

It's difficult to put into words exactly how I feel because there are some aspects I adore with my whole heart, and others that really don't sit well with me. Thoughts on PJO with spoilers are below the cut, with both positive and negative thoughts. Tl;dr I think the show is fine. Just fine.

The cast of this show is out of this world better than we could have ever hoped for, they really brought their A game and gave a phenomenal performance. I'm genuinely devastated we will never get to see more of Lance's Zeus because he felt born for that role. His quiet power, the danger in his stare that could turn in an INSTANT absolutely fucking ruled. Whoever takes over has big shoes to fill already and he was only in one scene!

The choice to really flesh out Sally as a more important part of the story and Percy's life was so, so special to me. I think this is the one aspect where the show shines above the book. Sally in the books makes a lot of tough choices for Percy's benefit, but we get to see that out of Percy's head and in Sally's for a bit.

Edit: I FORGOT POSEIDON!!! I liked the change with the deadline forcing Poseidon to take an active role and make a choice to protect Percy. I loved the Nereid sent to help Percy. Poseidon is far less passive in the series and I love that so, so much. In the same way we see why Sally would tempt a god, we also see why Percy is worthy of a God like Poseidon putting himself on the line.

But (and I know this will ruffle feathers because Uncle Rick was involved heavily so please understand I love him too, but our heroes are not infallible) think some of the writing choices were questionable. I understand they set out to tell a unique story from the books and I don't mind some of the changes. But my main issues were:

They really toned down Gabe. I don't know why or what the reasoning was, but it kind of feels like they thought "a strong woman like Sally wouldn't put up with abuse" was the way to go, which in itself doesn't sit well with me. But then you end up with her sticking with this kind of shitty husband, and I don't think they ever explained why! So if there is no emotional manipulation and there is no practical reason given, to someone who hasn't read the books it's like.... Sally Jackson went from Poseidon to THIS and stuck around? As far as I can tell Sally is the breadwinner too so what reason does she have, to someone who doesn't know about the smelly thing, for her to be here?????

Also I know that people will say "he figured out Kronos from clues, he figured out Luke from clues, and Hermes *probably* told him about Crusty" but I really think the show doesn't show its working enough. If enough people had the reaction that Percy was figuring out things a little too easily, EVEN IF it can be explained away, there's probably merit in the idea that they were kind of handing things to him to move the plot along. There was a lot of showing without telling happening.

It also felt a little like some of those reveals, particularly Kronos, could and should have gone to Annabeth instead. They sort of piled a lot of character strengths onto Percy and didn't give her as much of a chance to shine where it mattered, beyond a few shallow jokes about her being quicker than Percy. They also didn't really touch on the gravitasse of Luke's betrayal in regards to her feelings!? We got one line. The story is out of Percy's head now, we should have gotten that! It's so important to her character. I feel like the teeth of Annabeth's trauma have been blunted a little bit here in comparison to the books, where you get a better sense of why she acts the way she does. The rivalry with Athena and Poseidon is barely mentioned at all!

Basically, despite the show leaving Percy's inner monologue, I don't feel we gained enough perspective from other characters in return.

Finally, the set choices leave a lot to be desired where it counts. I hate volume stages PASSIONATELY, I always have, and did anyone else notice that it feels like no character in the entire show sees a ray of sunshine or hard light? It's all soft, evenly lit in a greyish scene that makes even Olympus feel really, really flat. The Mandalorian suffered the same volume stage look, I hated it then and I really wish they'd stop or learn to light them or saturate them better.

Basically I did enjoy watching but I also don't feel the thrill of a piece of art from it. Some scene have that magic, but others just feel like they're trying to get from point A to point B. I have said it before but Lockwood and Co isna much better example of how to adapt a middle grade book in a way that is both unique from the source material while keeping the spirit alive and delivering a perfectly fleshed out product. I hate to say it because again, I adore Rick, but I'm not sure that his talents as an author translate into the strongest screenplays.

And I would finally remind everyone that the show being made does not mean the books no longer exist, you can read them! Right now! Nothing is ruined by a less than 5 star venture into the screen! And these are just my personal thoughts, the impressions I got. If you don't agree that's fine, but I hope we can keep aggression out of the PJO tag because I've been seeing people come for anyone who dares say anything not positive about the show as if they're personally campaigning to get it cancelled. just take a step back and remember we're allowed to not think it was a perfect end result.

Edit again because I forgot another big issue: WHY WAS THE ARES FIGHT THE FIRST REALLY GOOD FIGHT WE GOT??? I really loved it, it played EXACTLY how I imagined it in my head (albeit both the guys were browner in my head akshdhshs) but it also dawned on me that it was so much better than everything else we were shown except maybe the Clarisse fight way back in ep 1. In particular the Medusa scene was over far too quickly without enough suspense (dare I say this, the movie actually did the Medusa hunt better for the most part) and the Minotaur was kind of... Idk. Something about it felt a little underwhelming. Th chimera was over in two seconds after a pretty cool shot of it prowling, and the Fury outside Medusa's was so anticlimactic -- why would I want to watch the action from a kitchen window with no music??? In comparison to all the other action, the Ares fight blew it all out of the water. So I both loved that, and didn't like the rest so much.

[bobapplesimblr]

So I made this animatic yesterday, and it kinda flopped, so here you so simblr: the characters in that video, but as sims. I couldn't find the right horns for Zeus cause I didn't have the patience to look so sadly he does have a broken horn in this, but it's fine. Also Melody's arm warmers were meant to be a teddy jacket off the shoulders, but I could not find the cc for it. I kept getting Second Life links >:(

These characters are all little parts of me. They represent not only the genders I experience as a genderfluid person, but they also embody different parts of my mind, Inside Out style.

Melody represents my sense to duty and responsibility, but to a detrimental degree. She's the part of my brain that wants to be an overachiever, but is still too self assured/overestimates my abilities and ends up not doing any real work. Also mostly in charge of how to handle my romantic feelings, but she still does a shit job at it!!! She's my femininity and my mask when I have to present cis in public, being the public face of this whole operation.

Anthony/Tony is the voice in my head that tells me I'm not good enough. He's my ego, my hatred (including self hatred), my impulsiveness. He is my desire to fuck shit up and be mean!!!! And he also represents my masculinity. He's the one that made me realize I was genderluid, after feeling extremely masculine too many times to dismiss it as a passing thought. He's really mean in my head sometimes :( and him and Melody dislike each other quite a lot, because I've battled many days with feeling both femme and masc at the same time with no way to appease either feeling.

The idea of Zeus came to me a few days ago, in the height of my distress over the breakup I asked for. I felt horrible, in so many ways, and so I wanted to make a (not so) little guy to hug me and tell me everything is okay, and a character I could channel my distressing self-oversexualization thoughts onto. He was made as somewhat of a vent character, a persona I could channel my distress into, and someone that I felt comfortable imagining taking care of me and telling my intrusive thoughts to shut up <3 I adore him and he is the most caring of them all, now representing my self love and willingness to stand up for myself and deffend myself, even if the only poses I had on hand were scary vampire poses.

Record of Ragnarok x That Time I Got Reincaranted as a Slime

I’m sorry but the mental image of Rimuru just absorbing their enemy god and then combining their physical features with his regular human form and just either figuratively or literally flipping off the other gods while all of Jura is just going wild about their Lord Rimuru easily beating a god

Plus, I’m just imaging that Brunhilde chose to have Rimuru to go against Zeus just to absolutely destroy the old man

-Brunnhilde had her hands on her fist, glaring down at Zeus who was glaring up at her, the Greek god pointing a finger at the third being in the room, “What is this, valkyrie?”

-Brunnhilde smiled, almost evilly, “A mere slime, Lord Zeus. One who can speak and has agreed to fight for humanity.”

-Zeus frowned at her, thinking she was mocking him, “We agreed on the strongest members for both sides! How is a slime strong!”

-Rimuru’s little slime arm rose, getting their attention, “Don’t underestimate me! I want to fight!” Brunnhilde said nothing but Zeus stared down at the little blue slime before he snorted and immediately busted out laugher, holding his stomach.

-Zeus wiped tears from his eyes only moments later before he glared, still annoyed, “If this is what you’re planning on, Brunnhilde, to have this slime fight for humanity, then I’ll allow it. Don’t come crying to me when you lose again. In fact, how about I fight next against this little slime?” Brunnhilde was shocked but agreed, trying to keep her elation hidden before he walked off.

-Brunnhilde and Rimuru shared a glance before she lifted a fist and he lifted one of his faux arms, “You’re gonna fuck him up, right?” Rimuru couldn’t help but chuckle himself, “With pleasure, cocky guys like that are the best to beat.”

-Goll was the one who carried Rimuru down to the entrance to the arena, cuddling the adorable slime who assured the youngest valkyrie that he was going to be just fine!

-The crowds were almost near rioting, the humans furious that Brunnhilde chose such a weakling to represent them, and the gods feeling insulted that their supreme leader, Zeus, was facing a mere slime, it was an insult to their power.

-Rimuru toyed with Zeus, taking his blows, not getting injured in the slightest, but crying out as if he was being hurt, playing up that he was just a ‘weak little slime’

-Zeus grew tired, annoyed that Rimuru wasn’t dying, annoyed with him bouncing around, and glared, “Time to get serious!” his body swelled as a dark aura surrounded him, grinning darkly.

-Rimuru, hearing the cheers of the humans watching, feeling the thoughts of those in the Great Forest of Jura, Rafael projecting their thoughts to him, it made him feel warm as he seemed to beam, sparkles around him, “Then I’ll get serious too!”

-His words stunned Zeus who had charged at him, but the words infuriated the leader of the gods, a furious war scream leaving him

-Rimuru let the punch hit him, but instead of bouncing back, his body seemed to liquify, enveloping Zeus’ arm.

-Many thought Rimuru had perished, finally squished by Zeus, until the leader of the gods cried out as tendrils, made of slime, began to crawl up his body, constantly latching to him, not giving an inch as more and more of the slime covered Zeus’ body.

-The crowd watched, horrified, seeing Zeus being dissolved and devoured by this ‘harmless little slime’ until only Rimuru remained, landing on the ground with a small bounce before he seemed to beam, “I won!”

-Everyone was stunned, completely silent, eyes wide and jaws to the floor, seeing that Zeus was defeated, and this ‘mere slime’ made it look easy!!

-Rimuru hopped back to the waiting area while Rafael spoke about the new skills he obtained, only paying half attention as he had so many now that he couldn’t keep track of them all.

-Brunnhilde and Goll were quick to meet up with him and he seemed to grin when Brunnhilde praised him, “I knew you were strong, but I had no idea you were capable of doing something like that!”

-He just laughed like he was an old man or a mentor, lightly teasing them, “Fu-fu-fu, that’s why you should never underestimate your opponent! Now Brun-chan~ you mentioned something about a feast if I won?”

-She held her arm out to show him the way, “Yes, we have prepared a feast of Japanese cuisine for you to enjoy.

-Rimuru leapt up high in glee, “Whoo-hoo!! Let’s go!!”

Ghost Helpline part 9

Konstelacio walked to the Egyptian palace. Much like how Johnnys bike rode on nonexistent roads Konstelacio walked on invisible ground, she believed the Zone would not let her fall and so it didn’t.

Tim drove past his old home what use to be Drake Manor. He somehow doubted his family had noticed he sold it. He doubted they had noticed the moving trucks and contractors. He told himself it would be because they were busy. It felt like a hallow excuse.

Once Bruce figured it out he would want answers. Tim had them planned, Masters dubious escapades in criminal activity had been on the decline. As well as Masters sudden disappearance a few years ago, required their attention just in case.

Inwardly Tim had had a single conversation with the man, spotted a gaggle of teens who looked happy and sold it to the man on the spot.

When Tim thought over the conversation later, he would call the emotion that came over him jealousy and decide to ignore it.

“Your highness, it appears Princess Violet will be sealing an audience.”

“Send her in immediately! “ Tucker shouted excitingly, Violet was such a sweet girl, he adored her visits. She usual came with the pretense of picking up her more technically inclined brother but Chad wasn’t here as of late. Which only meant one of three things.

She was coming here to hide.

She was coming in for a check up. (Doubtful.)

Or she was coming here to ask for help.

“Prepare some light snacks, our comfiest seat and coloring pages.” Tucker hoped she was okay, he would never admit it but if he didn’t know any better he would have assumed Violet was Danny’s clone too. In personality at least. Where Dani had gotten Danny’s loud passion, Violet had gotten Danny’s self loathing. Where Dani had his fearless determination Violet had his self sacrificing down to an alarming degree. Dani had her fathers laugh, Violet had his best friends fear of abandonment.

Yeah, Tucker would never admit it but Danny and his ex-arch enemies kid had a lot in common. He sighed oh well. It was fine, if anything it made him and Sam love her all the more. Their niece, their little constellation.

Billy breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to be back home.

“Captain Marvel, Dr Fate we need to talk. We have a situation.”

Billy sighed he thought to soon.

Zeus: lolz!

Hercules: L L L

Mercury: Run fuck this noise

Billy shushed them, he just wanted to go home. The faster they got threw this the better.

Batman explained.

Solomon: He’s on to us! Kill him!!!

Billy: No we are not killing Batman

Atlas: he’s a threat to our your family Billy, I hate to agree with the old man

Solomon: Hey!

Atlas: but perhaps it’s time to move on

“Captain Marvel are you paying attention. This is serious.”

“Of course of course. But uh what exactly do you want me to do here?”

“I need information.”

“I don’t -“

“Marvel you are a terrible liar, also.” The man dressed as bat shrugged in the direction of superman. Right Superman, a living lie detector.

Billy: well fuck

Mercury: RUN

Solomon: oh is that it? Well then Billy just don’t ‘lie’

Billy could hear the smirk in man’s voice. Well two could play at this game. But first to get Dr.Fate off the field.

“I’m leaving.”

Well never mind then Fate was doing it for him.

Maybe he isn’t so bad after all.

“Dr Fate we need-“

“All is as it should be. Before I am a leaguer I am a Lord of Order. You would all do better to not interfere with which you do not understand.”

Yeah you tell them!

“Especially not with those as vile as demons.”

Billy took it back the bastard could suffer.

In that moment Fate left and two pairs of eyes landed on Billy himself. Goddamn it.

“So … what exactly do you want to know. I’ll do my best but I make no promises to answer everything.”

“THATS -“

“That is enough boys.” Wonder Woman walked in, “We are her to ask for help not interrogate our fellow leaguers. Now then Batman what evidence do you have to think both the girl and Captain Marvel know one another in the first place.”

“ Coordinates“

“What?”

“Coordinates from the demons location line up with the new coordinates you’ve sporadically been taking for the past year or so.”

“Batman that hardly proves-“

“Yes I know her.” Billy wasn’t getting around this, and maybe he could use it to paint Konstelacio in a better light. After all they had to understand, they were his heroes they had to understand that his sister wouldn’t hurt them. Not unless provoked.

—- —- —-

Clark could see Bruce sag in relief, the quest for answers over. But Clark didn’t think it be that easy, Captain Marvel may be immature but his loyalty was relentless. Something in the way he held himself could only leave Clark to believe that Konstelacio had earned that loyalty. Clark looked at Bruce again and sighed instead of voicing his opinion after all it’s not as if he was the detective, no he was just a journalist. Clark eye rolled internally.

“How?”

“She is… my sister in arms.”

Both him and Diana froze.

// … even by demon standards I assume you’re rather young …..//

Clarks hands clenched and unclenched, “What?” He must have heard wrong? Right, right even demons must care about their young.

“She is my sister in arms. She is a good person.”

“A good person, she’s a demon.”

Captain glowered actually glowered at Batman, Clark thought as he twitched to put himself between the two.

“And so is Superman and he’s an alien, so so what? Or is it different because he happens to look like you?”

[cemetery-slvt]

Any Amphitrite and Poseidon headcanons to share?

Poseidon used to go swimming deep into the ocean and that was how he met Amphitrite.

At first she was a little apprehensive of him, but over time grew to love him.

Not respect him though, he hasn't earned that yet.

During the nights Poseidon would sneak out of camp to meet her by the ocean and they would talk for hours.

She proposed to him on a coral reef. He squealed like a girl.

When he got his 8ft tall dolphin plush Amphitrite was furious because it was 600$ (it was vintage) and she thought it would just take up space.

She ended up loving it and they always sleep with it between them while wrapping their bodys around it. It’s adorable.

They love to take baths together. They also for some reason like to play wrestle when they do.

When Amphitrite married him she told him she would have to go deep into the abyss of the ocean at least twice a week.

He was suspicious at first but allowed it.

It went fine for a few months until he got too curious.

One day he followed her down into the dark abyss but at one point lost her.

As he started to look around he was attacked by these big monstrous fish living down there.

For some reason he couldn’t control them and fear took over.

He thought he was going to be eaten until the creatures brought him. Straight. To. Amphitrite.

Poseidon was shocked until she explained that these were her pets that she had raised but she calls them her children.

Anyway Amphitrite told them to release Poseidon and Poseidon learned to never try to find out his wife’s secrets.

Amphitrite loves Anglerfish, Poseidon fears them.

Poseidon has a habit of picking up his queen from behind and spinning her around when he gets back home from Olympus.

Sex is always really funny between them cause of Poseidon in genral

The most sweet and intimate moments between them are during the dead of night.

Amphitrite will sit on his lap and the two will just hold each other in a comfortable silence.

Taking their kids on beach days.

They kill everyone in volleyball. (Mostly because they practice in their spare time)

Hand strokes and kisses.

Poseidon gets very turned on when Amphitrite gets mad (only over stupid things) But it just makes her more mad until she too gets aroused by her king and is just like “you know what? Fuck it.” and procceds to fuck him in the room they are in.

Very odd but they are basically a more chill version of Hera and Zeus… but only by a little.

They sleep until 11: am most days.

They plan family cruises with the other olympians.

Amphitrite's sister's are very diligent when it comes to their sister’s happiness and safety.

Night time walks on the beach.

Lore Olympus Fast-Pass thoughts (203)

Let's talk Kronos, the underworld bureaucracy, and Ariadne.

Yeah, that ain't him, chief.

Perse, if you cut your finger off can you regrow it like a plant?

Please tell me you wouldn't have fallen for that even if Zeus hadn't told you he was around.

I liked the moth theme a lot, but I prefer how Perse looks with her hair down like that.

I'll talk about that maze in a minute.

The cons of Kronos being a horny old man is interacting with him. The pros are that, much like his youngest son, his dick takes over his brain when it gets hard, so he is the most gullible bitch around right now.

Ngl tho, I would find that expression adorable if that was actually Hades.

I too thought that Kronos had taken her to the sleep realm, so we're even on this one, Zeusie.

On the one hand I am also not sure what Zeus will do in this situation, on the other he is an annoying little shit, can shapeshift, has a lot in common with his father, and both of them hate eachother so there's definitely a lot of possibilities around.

Oooooooh this look is a winner for me.

Ok, so last week I re-devised my Fertility Goddess Heir Theory in case Zagreus and Dionysus end up fused into the same being. I've also been saying that Perse will probably end up trapping Kronos in Elysium, so this maze could be foreshadowing for that, but its presence is also interesting because of some fascinating little details about the underworld family that are not talked about very often.

Remember Ariadne? Dionysus' wife, the one who gave Theseus that yarn to travel the maze? Well, some tellings say that after she died because Perseus, Dionysus went to Hades, got her and his mom out the underworld and got them deified -I get the feeling this was also that time Dionysus promised that guy to fuck him and that resulted in the invention of the dildo-. This is probably to explain that she seemed to be a deity in Crete, "The Mistress of the Labyrinth", specifically. Now, obviously that referred to the maze we actually know about and not the one this episode but, wouldn't you know it? I found out through Wikipedia that apparently, her dad, Minos, ends up as a judge of the dead after his death! And her shitty ex also ends up tortured down there for a while until Heracles bails him out. So wouldn't it be exquisite if Zagreus Dionysus becomes a prince of the underworld and has his wife work in his realm, close to his dad? Wouldn't that be a thing.

More shit on Zaggy Zoo

My first post on things about Zagreus is doing pretty well so I thought I’d do another.

-hes the baby of the gods- kinnnnnda like Baldur? everyone thinks hes so cute, mainly because he tries to give off this Tall Dark and Mysterious but all they see is that adorable chubby cheeked white blonde baby in Peresephone’s arms

-that being said they all have the MOST ridicioulous names for him- Z-money, Z-dog, Zig Zag, Zaggy Zoo, Zagarooni- you get it. he bloody hates it. 

-he...... has really rejected any color in his wardrobe at all. his mother told me as a kid he really liked purple- and our first thanksgiving together he wore this darkkkk green jumper of mine as a *present* and it........ brought me so much joy. that was about two years ago, and he hasn’t really touched color since but he’s getting more into color now- specifically green. He’s been really into green. I’m making him a little granny square cardigan with skulls on it hes gonna look like such a twink-

-hes gotten soooo into this cozy little game called Bear and Breakfast?? like i said in the last post he lovesssss bears and this game has him in a chokehold, he loves it

-i searched for a long long time and the closest i could find to how he smells is “Hellfire” by Black Pheonix Alchemy Lab, found here: https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/shop/general-catalog-perfume-oils/sin-and-salvation/hellfire/

that is quite literally how he smells, its so yummy

-loves black licorice

-can play a bit of guitar, speaks very fluent latin

-smokey quartz is probably the stone I most associate with him

-fucking adores the Addams Family, I think he nearly cried when i bought this little wooden puzzle model of their mansion

-tends to affect electricity a lot, its true what they say about him being able to wield Zeus’ bolt- there tend to be more thunderstorms around when hes upset (call it coincidence if you like but its an observation)

-has separation anxiety 

i can answer any specific questions if anyone’s curious about anything specific and i have a whole composition book of his poetry too, i write it down for him
