cuts scene to the year 4000+, when people think everything from pre-history to 2500 was the same time frame just like 2000 people think Cleopatra and the pyramids are from the same time frame and people then will think Jesus and Caesar drank Getorade

"The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology."

"As far as I know. It is the only ancient religious tradition on the Earth which talks about the right time-scale.

In the West, people have the sense that what is natural is for the universe to be a few thousand years old, and that billions is indwelling, and no one can understand it. The Hindu concept is very clear. Here is a great world culture which has always talked about billions of years."

Carl Sagan

Thus, on historical time scales, we've only just began to analyze spacetime, so the lack of a definitive proposal for its "atoms" – spacetime's most elementary constituents – is not a black mark on the subject.

i like to imagine that zagreus just sits and pouts in the styx whenever he gets frustrated after a close run (this is me projecting)

going to chb must be crazy like imagine sharing a camp with

-one of the strongest demigods ever who's saved the world like at least 3 times, fought multiple gods & titans and WON (and is a tartarus survivor)

-the literal main architect of OLYMPUS who's also saved the world multiple times (also tartarus survivor)

-THE lord of the wild who's also close friends with the first two (and has helped save the world multiple times)

-an emo kid from the 1930s who again helped save the world and is also a tartarus survivor (TWICE)

-a son of apollo who survived tartarus with nothing but cargo shorts and sheer will (pun intended)

-the main designer and builder for the argo II, also the first hephaestus kid to have fire powers since hundreds of years ago (did i mention killed gaea? no? yeah he did that too)

-a girl who somehow charmspeak-ed gaea into falling back asleep (also side note daughter of super famous actor because why not)

-pretty much everybody is a two-time war veteran

-THE GOD APOLLO who just sometimes comes down to visit in the form of a teenage boy

-did i mention dionysus, god of wine madness and theatre

-also chiron, trainer of pretty much every greek hero ever

I think I can trace my intense hatred for the whole "regulations are just corporate bullshit, building codes are just The Man's way of keeping you down, we should return to pre-industrial barter and trade systems" nonsense back to when I first started doing electrical work at one of the largest hospitals in the country.

I have had to learn so much about all the special conditions in the National Electric Code for healthcare systems. All the systems that keep hospitals running, all the redundancies and backups that make sure one disaster or outage won't take out the hospital's life support, all the rules about different spaces within the hospital and the different standards that apply to each of them. And a lot of it is ridiculously over-engineered and overly redundant, but all of it is in the service of saving even one life from being lost to some wacky series of coincidences that could have been prevented with that redundancy.

I've done significantly less work in food production plants and the like, but I know they have similar standards to make sure the plants aren't going to explode or to make sure a careless maintenance tech isn't accidentally dropping screws into jars of baby food or whatever. And research labs have them to make sure some idiot doesn't leave a wrench inside a transformer and wreck a multi-million dollar machine when they try to switch it on.

Living in the self-sufficient commune is all fun and games until someone needs a kidney transplant and suddenly wants a clean, reliable hospital with doctors that are subject to some kind of overseeing body, is my point.

Sharks first appeared 450 million years ago, making them older than trees (which appeared somewhere between 350 and 420 million years ago), The Himalayas (which came into being 50 million years ago) and even The Rings of Saturn (which formed 100 million years ago)

Part 1 of the numerous scenes that I would love to (sooner or later) illustrate from @yunuen 's fic "The line is covered in jellyfish" ! This is from chapter one, my list is...very long (I am thinking of drawing one scene for each chapter but we'll see)

Also I have to thank @catttttyfandom incredible character designs that I used as references! I am extra grateful, especially for Viktor's body!
