Where to Find Me Today: October 2, 2022
What “accidental” or unexpected successes have you had? I’ve been thinking more about this lately because there have been a few things, through the years, that have exploded, much to my surprise. Like the following: I had a Britney Spears parody site that drove thousands of visitors per day When one of my first bands, Lightly Toasted Touché, released our unrehearsed jams on the internet, it…

To me, children of Zeus are natural strategists in the same way children of Athena are. But the difference is that Zeus and his kids have multiple plans and contingencies if a plan fails at a certain point and needs to shift gears. So like they employ Plan A and get all the way to stage four of the plan when suddenly there's a deviation from expectations for whatever reason. So they shift gears from Plan A1 to Plan A2, which accounted for this deviation and continue on.
Athena and her kids, however, come up with one solid, somewhat broader plan and refuse to deviate from it at all unless there is literally no other choice, in which case they will improvise quickly and efficiently to accomodate the change and get back on track to the original plan.
#happy talks pjo#happy talks greek mythos#jason in the corner coming up with extremely detailed solutions to unexpected possibilities mapping out every stage and everyone's roles#annabeth is just you're gonna go fight this guy and you're gonna fight that guy and we're gonna try to get this thing and that's the plan#she can be detail oriented when the time calls for it (re: architecture) but she knows that life is unpredictable#so keeping plans broader to account for possible deviations while still being successful is more important in a battle#than you know whatever jason's doing#this is fully based off my hc of pre-war paranoid anxiety fulled baby zeus spending too much time at the whiteboard#and now he has over a hundred different plans of attack with multiple contingencies for possible deviations#and yes he wants his freshly vomited siblings to memorize every single one (they do not. he hates it)#jason grace#annabeth chase#zeus#athena#i guess one way to look at it as well is that athena and her kids pride themselves on their intelligence#so whatever plan they come up with is The Plan and that's why they try to shift any deviation back to The Plan#they are stubborn about their intelligence and planning for contingencies feels like they are telling people they are unconfident about it#where zeus and his kids understand that you have to account for unexpected changes that throw the plan off course#trying to get back to the original plan will be difficult and sometimes impossible so its better to move with it#so accounting for possible deviations (eg. betrayals or a change in schedule and so on) is important to achieving the main goal

Cipher Four | They/Them
likes to wear bright + light colors and patterns
wears boots only. all boots have a steel toe. all the better to curb stomp with, my dear.
they have scarring on their neck that trails off onto the back of their right shoulder. they try to hide it and is self conscious of it.
the scarring on their hip doesn't bother them as much, though.
looks DAMN good in a dress

Continuing my very slow and gentle C1 rewatch and it's so funny to flip between *gestures vaguely at everything CR is today* and them in C1E9 flipping out reading messages at the end because someone suggested cosplaying Grog. "Critical Role cosplay... Can you IMAGINE?"
