Thinking about being a demigod as a metaphor for neurodivergency
Thinking about demigods fighting monsters no one else can see, thinking about the mist, how mortals just can’t see it. Thinking about Mrs Dodds, and how everyone told Percy he was crazy for remembering her. How ableism and insults are just so typical in places like a high school and yet if you’re neurodivergent and remember it years after school, you’re called crazy and obsessed because “it wasn’t that bad” and “you need to move on”. How Nancy Bobofit called Percy special. How Chiron (a centaur) was the only teacher to be actually nice and understanding of Percy, since he too wasn’t a mortal. How mortals can’t see the monsters and swords, how they can’t see the struggles we face and our defense mechanisms/ways to cope. How demigods just trying to defense themselves against monsters are seen as “evil” or a threat by mortals, because they can’t see than the reason they made that thing explode was to survive, than the bump on their car wasn’t actually made on purpose, but by a monster throwing them against it. How the world is dangerous to demigods, how they always have to stay alert, how there was always something off about them growing up. How they might have known they were demigods since a young age, or if not demigods, they knew something was different about them. Like Annabeth, who kept attracting monsters and decided to run away at just 8. She knew, her father knew, her family knew. There was no point in hiding it, no point in pretending it wasn’t there, everyone could see it. Thinking about Percy, how his mom knew, and how she made sure to help Percy no matter what, how she never cared. Thinking about Leo, who didn’t know until he was a teenager, who figured out on his own, who’s childhood was traumatized by his powers, how being a demigod completely ruined what would have been a lovely childhood. Thinking about Percy’s time in school, thinking about the demigods having adhd and dyslexia, thinking about how “their brains are trained for ancient greek/latin” and how they have trouble understanding what everyone else can easily read. Sure, it’s dyslexia, but it can also be something else. Their brains are not trained for neurotypical social cues, that’s not a language their fluent in, they have their own language, which neurotypicals can’t understand. How if they tell someone they’re a demigod, they won’t believe them, and think they’re weird. How it’s not something they can mention unless around the right people (other demigods, gods, mythological creatures, or parents of demigods kids, which in this scenario, is anyone with a connection to neurodiversity). How the parents sometimes are aware their kid is a demigod (like Sally), because they know the other parent was a god, in this scenario, they’re aware of the possibility of a neurodivergent kid because they slept with a neurodivergent person. Except sometimes they don’t know the other parent is a god, they don’t know their kid is a demigod. How someone can have neurodivergent kids, who’s neurodivergency is passed down from their other parent, except the other parent is not diagnosed. How, even still the neurodiversity community, there’s still stigma and stereotypes. How they treated Nico, even if he was just like them, simply because he didn’t fit. How the more visibly demigod you are, if you’re the child of one of the big three, the more monsters you attract, the more dangerous life becomes, how the moment a demigod realizes they're a demigod, they can't hide it, they attract more monsters, there’s no turning back.

Percy really step foot on Olympus and went:
Percy: 🫵YOUR DAD is fucking up my sleep schedule AND YOU BETTER GET THERAPY YOU LITTLE-
Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

Everybody Knows by Sigrid
Padmay 2018 | Day 20: Mythology Parallels | Anidala + Tupi Mythology
Guaraci, the sun god, once grew tired of his eternal job and had to sleep. When he closed his eyes the world fell into darkness. To brighten the darkness while he slept, Tupã – the creator of the skies – created Jaci, the moon, to illuminate the night and bring softness and charm to the world. Jaci was a goddess so beautiful that when Guaraci saw her light, he fell in love with her. Enchanted, he went back to sleep so he could see her again. But when the sun opened his eyes to admire the moon, everything lit up and so Jaci went to bed, fulfilling her mission. Guaraci then asked Tupã to create Rudá, the god of love and its messenger. Love, who knew no light or darkness could unite them at dawn.
The FNAF movie and 1989 album is all that’s rattling around my little head right now 🐻✨
rb and share in the tags the first song you heard in 2024
art tips
don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is
I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician
you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind

Getting an author reply to a fic comment is just the best feeling. Like a celebrity stopping to sign autograph
Because I have just seen this specific thing for the second time, I would like to say:
If I reblog your art, I do not expect you to reblog (or share!) my fic in return
If I comment on your fic, I do not expect you to comment on (or read!) mine in return
My enjoyment of anyone's work does not come with strings or expectations
My friendship is not a bill that you will have to pay later
That's it!
In case you are full of doubts while stumbling upon this post: You are more than your bad days. You are more than your sadness. You are more than these bad thoughts telling you that you have no purpose. You are loved. You are important. You are irreplaceable. You are so damn worthy. Nothing and no one can ever take that away from you.
Natasha Romanoff's complete name is Natalia Alianovna Romanova (also matching with the surname I most dislike in my real name and wish I could replace👌)
Deities is the terminology of the Latin word for "god" and also the divine nature of deities is believed to be immortal goodness (who I wish I could be or even become to someone)
Basically:replace of a surname I have plenty of bad memories with the one I was named after, with a cooler sounding one and also similar & the something I wish I could be capable of or even represent to somebody.

ya know, this fandom can be so draining as of late
most people are so kind, fun to talk to and engage with, but there’s just little corners of it that refuse to stop with the hateful anons, fighting about the same discourse over and over, again, holding onto grudges, clique behavior, mean girl behavior, etc
this isn’t directed at anyone in particular because there’s SO much negativity coming from different corners of the fandom
I want to give a shout out to the sane, level headed people here. I’ve never been in a fandom like this but one thing I’m learning is to keep the good genuine people you know and keep them close, they make dealing with everything else worth it ❤️ interact and surround yourself with the good stuff and leave the rest behind life’s too short to fight with people on the internet
1989 taylor's version, out October 27th.
so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch

Not my best job, I mean; I`m still learning but it was a fun little project.
Just liked to see how many elements I could extract from the first episode alone and put into gifs, also how fast the changes between the time period despicted are.
