i wonder if the writers room felt pressured by "feminist medusa" depictions and thus to put that into their show they had sally know the (roman) myth because sally is obviously a #girlboss who would side with medusa and that spiraled into "well if sally knows then she must tell percy which means percy would know the myths" and didn't realise they had eliminated all tension snd their perfect excuse for people to yap exposition at their character in a way that could be organic until too late

WIP guessing game: fire, foe, and fun!

eagle of the ninth temeraire au:

He remembered dragon-warmth, of the little couriers of the garrison at Isca Dumnoniorum, of his father’s dragon’s scales nearly steaming at a touch, like the hypocaust sunk beneath the baths. Esca, too, was warm, but only to the degree that a man was warm — no great fire banked itself behind Esca’s ribs. Still, Marcus pressed himself tight against Esca’s chest, and tried to push away the cold.

no instances for foe, and only sort of one for fun...

unnamed lurking sharpe story:

“He said it’d be all right ‘less it starts turning funny colors… it isn’t doing that, is it?” asked Perkins, fear suddenly creeping into his voice. “Dunno, sarge — would this be a funny color to you?” Cooper pointed, and Harper leaned down obligingly and screwed up his face in disgust.

Perusing books about the Roman Empire is a trip. Tf do you mean "The Dark Side of the Roman Empire"? It's the Roman Empire?? What the fuck was the bright side?? The sacking and raping and pillaging and subjugation and slavery?? The sexual violence?? The violent oppression of anybody that wasn't a free and landed male Roman citizen?? Sure a bunch of old guys came up with some important ideas and art, but how many people who would have had more of them were denied the chance for the same?? How tf are empires a social good or instrumental to peace, prosperity and collaboration?? Hello??

one day I will write about Ancient Rome and Romania and Ro's daddy issues (and parent issues in general). For someone who was in Ro's life for not very long (like a few hundred years at most) Rome sure gave Ro so many issues (to be fair so did Dacia and most of his parental figures) <3

I wanted to contribute to the classic Annatar-is-Santa joke...

So I bring you Roman!Santa-Annatar, from the Lay of Leithian rock opera:

He just finished carefully placing each ball on the tree

i hate when people (especially men) say shiv made the choice at the end for her baby. like i hate that. she made the choice for a lot of reasons, like. she was mad at kendall winning and didn't want to just hand him the crown just because he's the man between the two of them when she fought so hard for it for so long. she maybe did it because she saw kendall turn into logan. she did it because she probably genuinely knew he wouldnt be good at it. some of that was rational and some of that was probably irrational and driven by a lot of emotion.

like. chosing between kendall and the man who she put on the throne just so he would betray her in the last second is such a brutal choice, and she chose the two men who betrayed her, because of kendall. like this always comes down to the siblings and she would rather be the CEOs wife and become her own mother than kendall become CEO and pretend to be his father. like. she does not care about tom enough to be hurt by his betrayal, nor does she care which of these choices is better for him

but she sure as fuck didn't do it for her baby. she does not care about that baby. neither does tom, really, but when people in the show say she would be a bad mother that is... kind of true? she doesn't really seem to want to be a mother and does it like a lot of "woman stuff" she does - she didnt care at all about her wedding, she doesn't care for the place her and tom moved into, and she doesn't really care about having a baby and being a mother. like, yeah, of course she's hurt when people say shed be a bad mother, but she probably still isnt all that interested in being a mother? like. there is no way in hell shiv thought about that baby in that board meeting, like she sat down calmly before the meeting and then made a pro and con list about making kendall CEO and then came to the level-headed conclusion that tom would be overall the lesser evil and better option for her baby. that woman? shiv roy? for her baby?

it's just so out of character for her that i can only blame sexism and not understanding the character because how do you look at shioban roy saying 'i dont think youd be good at it' and 'i love you but i cannot stomach you' after having lost so close at the finish line and using all the power she has so that her brother doesn't get a victory he doesnt deserve, even if the alternative is literally the worst 2 people it could be for her personally. just the idea that this was a purely rational choice made by her so that her baby has a better life is so funny to me like hello

Can I say that I didn't really like the Seven of prophecy as a group and felt like their only value as characters from a writing standpoint is to add diversity to the PJO series and that they don't really feel necessary without the rep they add and some of them feel purely constructed to fill archetypal roles/tropes instead of being constructed as whole characters with an actual function in the narrative that no other character could fill or will I be sacrificed at the stake for it

Need to stop thinking of compelling (To Me) research papers to write for example the one I’ve been thinking about all day which is the concept of the divine as framed in Greek theater/divinity in ancient literature / concepts of divinity appearing in disguise in the ancient world (for example Dionysus in Bacchae, Cupid in Aeneid, maybe a little Gilgamesh, etc.)

Makes sense for him to retain bc I'm p.sure he's losing that belt at Mania
