No but I gotta talk about Medusa for a minute actually.
It's been. A very long time since I read the PJO books so I don't exactly remember how Uncle Rick presents Medusa in the book. But the way the show introduces her myth? Fascinating. For me as a Greek mythology enthusiast, that is.
The show makes Medusa a victim of Athena. Of course, the show is mainly for kids, so they can't exactly say that, hey, kids, Medusa was Athena's priestess and she was raped by Poseidon, YEP, or protagonist's father, IN Athena's temple, nah, that's neither kid-friendly nor does it endears us to Poseidon. Not that Poseidon is very dear to us viewers/readers at this point, our narrator/protagonist can't stand his own dad.
But still what fascinates me is that even though they twisted the myth to ft the narrative they still managed to evoke Athena's curse as being actually a gift, and Medusa not feeling wretched over her condition but blessed.
Which is not a modern reading of the myth, actually. Saying that Athena couldn't punish Poseidon for his transgression and could only punish Medusa, but did so in a way that would give Medusa weapons to defend herself against whoever and whatever would try to harm her again, is a narrative that exists since Antiquity.
My point is that the re-framing of Medusa's myth, departing from the traditional, non-kid-friendly version while still incorporating both classic and modern elements, is a good frame of reference for the series (book and show)' entire approach to mythology. And I guess I'm saying that mostly for the non-book readers who are discovering this world, many of whom might be Greek mythology fans and might have gone "wait, why is Hades AGAIN presented as the bad guy when he's the chillest, most normal, most stable god in this entire pantheon", because that's a conversation the book fandom has been having (over and over again) for more than a decade.
Anyway, yeah. As a long time book fan and a show appreciative, here's my advice to anyone who knows WAY too much about Greek myths and still want to enjoy the ride without going every five minutes "wait, that's not correct": reframe. Contemporary rewritings, modern audiences and Fantasy genre.
#pjo series#pjo series spoilers#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#rick riordan#medusa#greek myths#greek mythology#rapha talks#the funny thing is that one of the art exhibition i've been giving tours of these past couple of months is about goddesses#and it has some statues and objects about both athena and medusa so i've been talking a lot about these two for weeks now#so even though i still remember some from the books and i know damn well uncle rick's priority wasn't myth accuracy#i still got a bit floored by the planet-size holes in medusa's myth in the show#not enough to dislike the episode (au contraire i quite enjoyed it) but enough to feel compelled to say a word about it#(can you tell my special interest as a weird little girl was greek mythology and how it still is to this day...)

Wrong Ticket
Danny bought a plane ticket to travel to Goshen, Indiana to visit his father's family. Apparently his aunt was very excited to meet him, and Jazz was excited to send him away from the lab after his accident.
She was worried that she would have to spend a few days scouting colleges, and Danny would be left home unguarded (she wouldn't make that mistake twice, her parents didn't count as good guards and Danny would be too bored since he was on school holidays), so the invitation from their uncles was like a miracle fallen from heaven.
Unfortunately for Danny, his family didn't check the ticket after purchasing it, and therefore they didn't notice the error where "Goshen, Indiana" was changed to "Gotham, New Jersey," so when the airline called his flight, Danny didn't notice his destination. He practically fell asleep a few seconds after entering the plane.
Danny wished he had been paying attention when a few hours later he found himself stranded on the streets of Gotham with nothing but his luggage and a little money. Though that last seemed more of a risk than a benefit if he took into account the way they watched him as he passed.
As if that wasn't enough, it seemed that something strange was starting to happen to him, there were moments where his backpack would slip from his grip, almost as if he was walking through it, and others where he felt invisible. This did not go unnoticed by the denizens of Gotham, who were assessing him with clear interest.
Red Hood, who had noticed the guy (possibly meta) stumbling into his territory, sighed and offered him a temporary place to stay. Danny, who just met the strange guy in the red helmet, was relieved to have temporary lodging, though he would probably look for another place the next day. Just in case.
#dpxdc#Danny's accident happened during the holidays#Jazz was not going to risk it#The second their uncles offered she immediately accepted in Danny's name#Danny was curious so he accepted too#dp x dc#dc x dp#The Fentons lived on a farm so there was no phone signal and therefore neither Jazz nor her parents expected Danny to call#Danny's phone was also stolen within seconds of entering Gotham#Jason offered him asylum after hearing rumors of the meta the Rogues were trying to lure and noting that he was a teenager#He won't allow meta trafficking in Crime Alley#Although he won't tell Bruce either#Danny doesn't fully trust Jason but it's more for Gotham than his helmet and secret identity#He thinks Red Hood is an eccentric boy#All of this also means that Danny's transformation and status as a Halfa was discovered in Gotham#he was discovering things in a slightly different way#Although the battles stayed the same simply with rogues instead of ghosts

for the record your mom's first cousin isn't your aunt, she's your first cousin once removed. her kids are your second cousins.
your aunts are your parents' sisters, or the wives of your parents' siblings.
english doesn't make much distinction between the paternal and maternal relations and is weirdly inconsistent about how relations-by-marriage work, but it's got a nice precise numerical coordinate system for the consanguinity of cousins. it's all based on nearest shared ancestor; very scientific; you can tell genealogists got involved.
unfortunately as a result hardly anybody understands how to apply it.
#hoc est meum#replying to tags on a reblog from me alkfdsalk#didn't want to inflict that on the post op#the mother of your cousin once removed#is a great-aunt#assuming no half-siblings your great-aunt's parents are your great-grandparents#and her sibling is your grandparent#and she's your mother's aunt#aunt and uncle status requires a very specific type of diagonal relationship#you retain aunt privileges in a direct generational chain downward along the nibling's line#but your heirs don't inherit that; they are cousins

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!
((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))
but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS
(and, well. whatever this classifies as)
#whats wrong with him. seriously. he loves picking fights with literal children So Much#AND NONE OF THEM WITH WALLY ON THE MATTER OF BEING THE BIGGEST FLASH FAN. HOW DID THAT NEVER HAPPEN#about the middle page. honestly i DIDNT remember he is a Jerk in that way too until i checked his interactions with bart for this post#this man officially should not be allowed near children as a mentor.#just straight up drops ALL his insecurities on a poor kid in trying to make him feel ashamed. NO breaking the abuse cycle for this bad boy#the only thing he doesnt say is the direct 'you are a disappointment' altho the message is still the same 💀💀💀💀💀💀#AND I BET HES HELLA PROUD OF THAT. I MEAN CONSIDERING THIS FACT IG HE DOES TRY TO BE BETTER THAN HIS PARENTS. SOMEWHAT.#and omg he formulates his point like in problem based learning (leading the child to making the correct conclusion themselves)#im dying. professor to the fucking core.#and the way he feels the need to bring up flash facts in his appeal?? EO YOURE SO HOPELESS. THIS IS 100% HOW BART SAW HIM THROUGH#and god knows what he told thad promising to get him out of the speed force if he fought barry there and whether he was going to fulfill it#and do you even IMAGINE how FUCKED barry's mental condition would be growing up if thawne fulfilled his button threat#and i really REALLY wonder about the tornado twins and their relationship with 'uncle eobard' but that will be a separate post#he doesnt know any other way tho. and he might be actually mad at bart for not supporting his every action as The Flash#like. he tries to play family but the second they question he just goes WHATEVER. I DONT NEED IT. FLASH OF MY VISION RUNS ALONE#his problem is that he just wants attention. he doesnt see family/heroing for what 'its really about' or downsides that may come with them#everything is so idealized in his head. and the moment he faces reality with its complications the concept immediately gets antagonized.#and then he reconsiders and changes the conditions but fails each time never realizing the problem is his mindset and not everything else#black white at its finest yall#and man. RELATABLE.#also WHY is he standing LIKE A STATUE when appearing in front of bart????😭😭😭😭#poor museum rat has no idea what heroes in real life stand like#eobard thawne#professor zoom#reverse flash#the reverse flash#bart allen#the flash#dc

claudia’s birth allows louis to believe that he and lestat have become The Parents (equal status) and so the teacher-student power dynamic has gone away, but really it’s just been repressed and it comes up again like wack-a-mole
#clearly he wanted kids and he adored her but also the introduction of a literal child#makes him no longer occupy the position of ‘child’ in the house#in a way that is a relief to him#all that language like fledgling pupil student baby bird is dropped#he’s daddy! they're daddy and uncle :)#and then once claudia is an adult and trying to assert her own equal status#it becomes clear how much that original power dynamic had at best just become latent. bc now there's nobody to transfer it to anymore#'blame the teacher not the student'#addressing louis and claudia as a unit to tell them to clean up the corpse he left#and claudia is obv really aware of this#but like. ‘could the children murder the father’ is something present-day louis says#i think at the time he was still unable or unwilling to look that idea in the eye#anyway. hell hell hell#iwtv#vampire posting

okay but watching pomme and richas' family growing RACE gets so intense. okay. look.
pomme: baghera, antoine, aypierre, kameto, etoiles, bad, and max (from aypierre) for parents; dapper as sibling; maxpierre twin babies for siblings. she has ten family members in total.
richas: forever, pac, mike, cellbit, felps, roier, and quackity for parents; foolish and vegetta as grandmas; and leo as an aunt. if we count bobby as richas' deceased step-brother, then richarlyson has eleven family members in total.
they both have seven parents in total.
pomme is catching up. richas its time to start whoring your dads out again. dont let her win
#maybe he'll get lucky tho and pac will come back from kidnapping with another#it would be SO funny if she overtook him and somehow got another dad tho#like after everything else that richas has going on if he lost his 'most parents' title.... itd just be real sad#poor kid#on the other hand pomme doesn't have any dead or missing family members (that she knew/was close to) so maybe she's winning anyway#qsmp#its just really really funny#i hope bad and forever kiss. i hope aypierre gets official dad status over richas also. i hope etoiles and pac get married#i want these families to converge into the biggest mass to make the most terrifying graph know to the island#note: i basically ignored all aunts/uncles because a) i forgor#and i've continued ignoring them because b) basically every player is an aunt/uncle to every egg regardless of relationship to other player

dear androgynous or gender non conforming trans people and actually everyone and also you specifically,
in good faith
if anyone is treating your presentation or desired presentation like it's a personal attack against them they are not to be listened to. if anyone is trying to coerce you into being someone who makes more sense to them they are not to be listened to.
for example (one from experience) the trans men who make fun of you for wanting to be androgynous or feminine, who are telling you that you will regret going on hrt or pursuing other forms of transition, who are telling you that by doing any of those things you will then find yourself ugly and that your wants for yourself are unreasonable and so you should never try are only projecting their own misery onto you, their own precarious sense of masculinity and belief in the validity in their personal gender.
the wonderful thing about being trans is that we find ourselves working within a framework that highlights mutability and choice, that not only accepts but welcomes change, that lets you actively create yourself as feels fulfilling and right to you. this goes for literally anyone ever. everyone has the capacity to live this way. some people will pretend otherwise but they are wrong. trans people prove this by just existing. everyone should have the right to choice and should have access to safety and support along with it.
we are all engendered by our choices. you have options. you can mix and match and wait and see how it feels, how others see you, balance what feels safe with what feels right, consider how different places and different people might affect that balance. you don't have to pass if it just feels conciliatory, like it is a hoop you have to jump through, a means of proving yourself before you can present how you want. i mean it. and i am not saying this out of naivety. it may be safer to pass or be stealth or closeted, and you are entitled to your sense of safety. trust your sense of risk assessment. you know best.
you can be "inconsistent" (or perhaps exploratory, fluid) in your presentation or sense of self, you can go on HRT and stop and this can be a step forward in your transition, not an end or a regression. you can simply change your mind. no explanation needed. you are entitled to your own understanding of yourself. you can stop doing anything that feels wrong or uncomfortable. you do not have to follow a script. you do not have to live with restriction.
let me stress this in particular because it seems to be contentious: if hair is an important aspect of your presentation there is no shame in trying to preserve it. you do not have to resign yourself, weather changes that cause you intense distress because it would be very macho of you to do so, or because you feel unable to reach an ideal in the first place. the ideals are not easily attainable on purpose, they are frequently fraught, often they are simply lies. insecurities can be profitable for certain others. there will be people in your life who love you wholly and unconditionally. yes, you, right now. even if it's never happened before for you.
try finasteride or topical minoxidil if you want to (though minoxidil is toxic to cats!) in any case there are wigs. there is hairline surgery. there are scarves. you can be bald, have a receding hairline, thin hair and be beautiful and worthy of love. you! right now! i really mean it. get a tattoo on your scalp of something that you think is beautiful. notably you may regrow some hair with transition or if you stop testosterone.
you can always try anything even if it doesn't work out in the end. there is always the chance that it might. you can mourn any and every loss. anyone who would belittle you by making your grief seem trivial or wrong is Not To Be Listened To.
you do not have to identify as or be trans to do any of this.
you never know but you can always try.
you never have to externalize, justify, explain your internal self to deserve being respected, accepted and loved.
ok bye
