So i've been seeing some people in our lovely community (not just the danger days fandom, but by extension mcr, fob, patd, msi, etc) lately who seem to openly support that fascist carrot in the oval office, so i just wanted to take this time to remind you that..

And don't say shit like "I'm enjoying the music despite the fact that my views differ from others :)" you don't get to say that. This isn't a chocolate-and-vanilla debate we're talking about. You're openly supporting a racist, classist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic fascist.

You don't get to enjoy these bands, and you ESPECIALLY don't get to follow me!

Get the fuck out!!

Castlevania Season 3, a summary

5 years ago

PJO Headcannons

Nico and being protective.

Nico has very few friends and he pretends he likes it that way but he craves attention and love. Will Cecil and Lou Ellen have figured this out and welcome him with open arms, Nico settles in to their friend group well and surprisingly quickly but is fiercely protective of his friends and boyfriend.

An idiotic Nemesis boy once called Will a fag. Nico had to be bodily dragged off of him to stop him from beating him to death. Clarisse cheered Nico on and tripped the boy on his way to the infirmary.

An Ares boy once said Piper was only a pretty face and that the only reason any of the seven plus liked her was because she charm spoke them into it. Jason almost challenged him to a duel but Nico just decked him, broke his nose and left him unconscious for two days.

One of the senate once insulted Reyna, something along the lines of women having no place outside the kitchen. As a physical confrontation would have likely gotten Nico arrested he had to settle for a verbal dressing down that literally left the man in tears.

Woe betide anyone who insults Hazel within hearing distance of Nico. A man once cat called her as they were walking through New York something about ‘black bitches’. Nico nearly snapped his neck and Hazel literally had to put herself between her brother and the offending mortal and repeatedly remind him that killing mortals was against the rules.

Cecil was once called nothing but a lowly thief in front of Nico and Nico broke the offending son of Hebe’s arm.

A visiting roman spat at Lou Ellen and called her a bloody witch. He caught an arrow to the shoulder. Will had to patch him up and apologize for Nico to avoid a lengthy confrontation and possible rekindling of war. Nico just glared the whole time and corrected Will when his boyfriend said he 'missed his target.’

Ok sleep calls.

Burning Maze Spoiler

After I read the part about Jason’s death I just listened to the most depressing music on my phone.

Then I had this thought. Remember how Aphrodite said she likes tragedy stories, ones with twists and turns. I can see Piper yelling up at the sky, with tears in her eyes and saying you wanted tragic well you got fuckin tragic! Happy now? She cries to her mother demanding to know why.

On a second note does Zues even know Jason’s dead? Imagine Apollo going back up to Olympus and asking Zues if he even cares about his dead son, and he’s not just talking about Jason, he’s also talking about him self.

Also everyone is talking about how devastated Nico will be when he finds out. But he’s a child of Hades. What if he sensed it the moment Jason dies. Like he’s just doing a camp activity, laughing with Will and his siblings when suddenly he feels it. He freezes and says no, tears swelling in his eyes. Will asks him what’s wrong. Nico jumps up and starts pacing, saying that this can’t be happening and staring down at his hands. Sketeltons start to burst from the ground around his feet and Will is trying to calm him down but he can’t. Someone calls for Chiron and the centaur comes running. Everyone is staring at Nico asking what’s wrong. Then he lets out the most anguished cry JASON IS DEAD!! Then in a small almost to quiet to hear whispers, he’s dead.

Honestly... words can not describe how much Rick Riordan's books have meant to me and continue to mean to me, including the man himself.

He's not performative about his allyship, and it shows in his books. These vast fantastical worlds of gods and monsters and mythology and adventures, with characters who just ARE without the narrative focusing on their identities, if you feel me. A hijabi valkyrie, a gay demigod, a trans viking, a jewish legionaire in the most recent book. Immigrants and third culture kids and the blatant bisexuality of the major Greek god Apollo, not to mention the depiction of kids with ADHD and dyslexia as their own brand of heroes that modern society just refuses to see. And uncle Rick handles it so well; he acknowledges the pain and hardships that these things evoke in a euro-centric world, but the pain is never who they are, and they always rise above it, and it's always depicted as these beautiful parts of these characters that make up a part of their complex 3-dimensional personalities. Apollo's attraction to everyone regardless of gender in ToA is described with sophisticated opulence in flashbacks to his godly days and now he's a blushy fumbling pubescent teenager. When Magnus asks Sam how she juxtaposes her faith with being a valkyrie for Norse gods, she tells him that it reinforces her faith because it shows her how wonderfully complex and beautiful Allah's world is. Frank Zhang in the HoO series explores what it's like to have one's cultural heritage clash with their cultural upbringing, and the issues that immigrants face in the west, combined with his own issues of inferiority and self-doubt implied to stem from these factors, and yet he zoomed through the ranks to the very top faster than anyone the legionaires had ever seen before.

And Alex? Alex is special to me. Alex was the first transgender character I encountered that wasn't trauma porn for cis people, and it made me realize how bad our representation is in the media. I kept waiting for the ball to drop, for some sort of "hoohoo actually it's a phase/actually they're evil/actuALLY-" narrative to play out, but it never did. No one questions their genderfluidity, and I thought making them a shapeshifter was brilliant. My own and a lot of other trans folks' fantasies have involved making ourselves shapeshifters so we could take charge of our own perceptions, and Alex lives out our power fantasy.

Because that's what Rick's characters are. In a world where the media tells us we're inferior and that our lives are nothing but hardship and trauma, Rick said "I disagree. Also, fuck you" and gave us all power, respect, prestige, healing, happiness, longevity, prosperity, and everything in between in his world of fantastical adventure and mythical trial. And I'm so, so happy that kids of these walks of life today get to see themselves respresented in a way that I never got to. Because if I had Alex to see myself reflected in, I wonder if I would have felt as isolated and alone as I did. I wonder if I had been able to cope at least a little bit better.

I know they're kids books, I know they're written on a lower reading level than what I'm capable of, but they'll always have a special place in my heart, and I'll never stop reading them. Because Rick Riordan really is the ally and pseudo-mentor that I wish I had.
