Actually the worst thing to come out of the new pjo series is people deciding Annabeth's dad was 19-22 when he was given her by Athena (and therefore "just a kid at the time" so it's not his fault, he was in debt and couldn't afford it) He was in the middle of/nearly finished with his PhD, the Chase family was rich and he was probably a legacy (college not demigod wise) so no, he was just a shit dad. And she was also like 7 when she ran away and he was already married to her stepmom who was half the problem. Characters can be 30+ actually it's okay I promise

#percy jackson #... spoilers?? #I haven't seen the show I've just seen people's shit takes 😭 #phd students are not 22 who told you that #pleasee #I know ONE person from my undergrad class who got into a phd straight from undergrad and she wasn't even 22 #there's NO WAY he was 19???? #the youngest person in my MA degree classes is 20 and they're doing a special program that lets them get their first year of grad studies #at the same time as their senior year of undergrad

Decided to compile all the (digital) Tails stuff I hadn't posted throughout 2022 ! ( most recent to least recent ) The second image is @tsaikonautz's Tails design drawn in the style I use for my sonas and related ocs.

( newer Tails design here )

#miles tails prower #tails the fox #tsaiko tails #it's pretty obvious how much inspo i got from tsaiko tails in 2022 #heck you can see the skrunkle in the corner of the references in the first image ! #another big inspo that year was the Sonic Storm fangame #banger 3D art style that has #if you're wondering why he has 3 tails in the first one #he died. but then he got better and his 3rd tail started growing in ! #when did he get his 2nd tail then ? probably at birth or as an infant #man i haven't used texture filters in while. i really should do that again #it was almost an art trademark of mine in 2021-22 #teka art #teka backlog #parenthesis for any potential non-seeing readers : most of the time i draw tails with extra white or cream fluff in his ears #just didn't wanna say that every time in the descriptions #also if any non-seeing readers are here... sorry about the ID in alt text. i am doing the best i can

Reblog for bigger sample size maybe? I really wanna know!

Watching tv, u grow up feeling like everybody starts dating in highschool at the latest and that that's what's supposed to happen, but it's really so different for everyone. I now know plenty of people in their 20s who have never dated anyone.

(Tbh I don't hang out with many people older than me so I haven't heard much from those demographics yet (I'm 22))

Also please tell me about your first date and/or first partner! If u want to :)

#i know 40s and up is a very large demographic #but considering the average ages of people on this site and the average ages that people begin to date #i thought it'd make sense to do this way #cause y know the 40s and up category will probably have very little votes #or u could prove me wrong ig #poll #dating poll #polls #im dating someone for the first time now at 22 #they were my first date too and my first kiss #we've been friends for half a year and were already saying i love you before we started dating haha #we actually went on a date a while ago and i said i didn't have romantic feelings for them #i was wrong <3

More MAWSM Kara emo kid headcanons since people loved the other post so much afhsgdg

(She’s listening to MCR)

#I wanted to give her an emo ‘I cut my own hair for the first time’ cut but she just ended up looking a little bit like Gwen from spiderverse #also yippee me using my purple sketchbook for once #my adventures with superman #kara zor el #clark kent #jimmy olsen #I think these 22 year old nerds would not be prepared to handle angry child Kara and are perhaps a little frightened of her #to be fair emo angry 13 year olds can be scary MCR wrote a whole song about it #my art #doodles #sketchbook

Day 23, Dreams

Emmet dreaming of his future friend and dream job!

#monthofemmet #submas #subway boss emmet #emmet #kid submas #eelektross #Emmet was probably one of those kids that knew exactly what he wanted in the future #which good for him #It’s good to have something to work towards #I am verry late and behind #i haven’t skipped day 21 and 22 I just bit off more than I could chew and tried to make a comic strip type of thing for the first time #so im just failing behind lol #anyways #I remembed those old post from a year or two ago where emmet had the Eelektross equivalent of Blåhaj #which I wish was real because I want one soo badly #so I thought it’d be cute if the reason Emmet had an Eelektross was because of his childhood toy #truly best friends forever #Naps art

b’elanna vs her mother at similar ages, plus some sketches!

#my art #star trek voyager #my very first deanna…. my original obsession. if i ever read as much about betazoids as i do klingons we’re all in grave danger #also wrt the first image b'elanna is. 12 years old and as such is about to go emo mode but not quite yet. the girly girl thing is a front #sometime in winter she'll chop her hair off without permission #what do we think? human girl look to fit into the image her father has while he's still around or after to try and get him back? #miral is also a little bookish like b'elanna but on different subjects.... likes to keep to herself naturally but is also loudmouthed and #got told she shared her opinion too often a lot in university. didn't stop her though she speaks up when she thinks (knows) she's right #what did she study? don't ask me my answer changes with the weather #botany....linguistics.....military strategy.....chemistry....... uhmmmm religious studies. or even better the klingon system doesn't have #starfleet equivalents and she spent ages 15-22 doing apprenticeships for a certain (or multiple) disciplines #anyway. #kessik 2352 b'elanna has trouble sitting still for photos until she gets a little older so all the pics from before 7 are of her father #physically holding her so that she won't wander OR off guard shots or super blurry. theres more videos of that time than anything

I don’t like Sam x Quorra simply cause it has the same vibes as ‘dumb silly girl who needs smart man to tell her the ways of the world’ vibes.

Maybe if she was explaining Grid life to Sam back, it would be better, but Kevin is the one who tells him about a lot of Grid things. When anyone even bothers to tell Sam about Grid Things.

#very much so #tron #I’m watching Tron: Legacy for the first time this year haha #I mean it’s not like i didn’t watch it 22 times last year or anything…. wasn’t like the first 15 of those was in February alone… or anything #haha.. I don’t know what your talking about. #anyway.

Of course it is green

#summary of art #art summary #my art #added convention stickers because i really like how many i made. it was such a fun action #oh dear this year did not start kindly for me #first tailbone contusion and inability to sit for a whole month #then wild cough for three weeks after infection forcing me to go to sleep before 22 and not leaving much time for art #then some other minor nuisances #and holidays with family #all of this must have happened to encourage me to get into esc earlier than usual #giving me just enough time to get familiar with käärijä so that the passion could explode right when i needed it the most #and the rest is history #wow #see you next year 🧡 #eyestrain warning

when people who like seasons 1 and 2 better explain why it was better they always lose me when they say "the characters were what mattered the most the supernatural plot was basically not that important it was ALL about the characters" like...that's just what YOU were more interested in not what was happening in the show? like wdym the supernatural plotline wasn't that important in seasons 1 and 2. saying that it was more balanced or more subtle i get but saying that the supernatural plot wasn't THAT important and that it's not what made anyone love the show is a blatant lie

#and like i say: brf slt #and i've seen people say this many times on many occasions i'm not even exaggerating. or making anything up #and i've been saying this for. a year and a half. minus two months. when volume 1 came out someone tweeted 'what the duffers fail to #understand is that no one watches st because they care about the russians or whatever. people watch st to see a ragtag group of kids be #nice to each other! to see a lesbian and a man with nice hair be friends!' and i said i agree with this at like 60% the 60% being ofc that #i hate the russia stuff we know this. but like. as much as i like the relationships between the characters if there's no life-threatening #things going on for more than a few dozen minutes...then i don't really care like that would be another show. (this has been a constant #i was not as into the show or the characters as i am now when i said that like volume 1 was my first time watching the show #since 2019. and it's a constant because it's still true) like that's literally what fanfic is for. or other shows. #and plenty of people watch stranger things for the russians or whatever i was actually surprised when people were ranking the subplots i #saw quite a lot of people put russia in their top 2 i was stunned. it was mostly older people older people meaning anyone who was 22 in #the past. i'm kidding but like idk people who were like 40+ and also guys? idk. like there's actually an audience for that my bad you guys #(not my bad i will always be a russia in st anti. because i hate it.) #my point is. no that was actually it. i just don't get it wdym people don't like the STORY plenty of people do. in the fandom especially i #totally get focusing more on the characters and being more interested in that i literally never talk about the supernatural plot and i #really like the characters yk and i understand when people say that they enjoyed the distribution between character things and supernatural #plot things in s1-2 more but saying that the supernatural stuff was like an afterthought and that no one actually cares or cared ever and #that it was never important is? like i get where they're coming from but also...no #and i get doing the 'if you don't take it as literally the monsters and supernatural plot things mean this and that for real life and for #the characters' i think it's very fun but like. if you don't like the genre and ignored it for the characters...?that's not really on them #i worded this like my joyce and bob post from july i hope you like it. the first sentence only #wait i actually didn't. just realized. false advertising sorry #saying this as someone who likes seasons 1 and 2 better too that goes without saying

Jason found the first strand of white in his hair when he was 15. He didn't bring it up to Bruce; he dyes his hair anyway, and Bruce was mad at him so why bring up something as stupid as grey hairs? He forgot about it. He goes to Ethiopia. And we all know the rest.

Talia is brushing his hair, wondering if he is even really aware of what she is doing, when she finds a few stands of white in his crown. Over the next few months, Jason makes very few improvements. He does little more than look out his window and fuss like a child younger than his years. But he seems to recognise some people: a couple of friendly servants who tend to him the most, Talia, and the little boy trailing silently behind her. His patch of white grows as he does. Slowly but steadily. Ra's tells Talia Jason is a waste of time, resources. But Talia has plans for the boy.

Jason looks at his face reflected in the river beneath him. Really looks at it. It had been 6 months since the Pit, nearly a year since he came back from the dead. A year of puberty had changed him significantly, the Pit seemingly allowing him to grow past three years of desperate hunger and missed milestones. Despite the deep scars that warp and twist his face, his teachers call him young and childish when referring to his appearance (and his attitide), but Jason sees how much he has changed. The shape of his nose, the width of his jaw, his once strawberry-blonde hair has darkened, the curls not as tight as they were. His shoulders are much more broad than he remembers, and he realised last week that he must be almost Dick's height tall for his age now. But what his eyes linger on is the patch of white pushed back from his sweaty forehead. He has a vague memory of a single white hair, of not wanting to tell Bruce finding it important at the time. The single strand has grown into a patch almost the width of his thumb, some strands spread further from the main streak, almost giving it a faded-out look. His teacher calls for him and he turns away from his reflection. What he looks like is unimportant, he has plans to enact.

Bruce looks at the child young man across him, helmet off and pain open to the cold Gotham air. The scars that run from chin to temple are deep, and Bruce remembers the way that part of his child's face hung on by a thread, soot settling into the no longer bleeding flesh and the crevices between his exposed teeth. He remembers what it looked like when it was sewn up; Bruce had opted for a closed-casket funeral in the end, unable to look at his boy's mutilated face, the way his freckles contrasted against his pale skin, never to flush or tan or sunburn again. What he also remembers is finding a lone strand of white hair in his son's curly bangs weeks prior, not wanting to bring it up lest he upset the boy. Willis was grey at the temples in his mugshot, and he was only 27, and Sheila bleached her hair to hide her own salt and pepper strands despite being only 35. His boy had earned a few premature grey hairs, after everything he had been through, but a 15 year old boy might not feel the same way, and Bruce did not want to damage Jason's confidence. The strand had grown in his absence, now bright and obvious in the dim lighting. Bruce's hands shook as he plucked a batarang from his belt. His hands never shook, and so he didn't notice when they shook as he took aim at the barrel of the gun. He should have noticed how they shook.

The Prophecy is one of those songs that if I had it in late 2017/2018 when I lost my family, let's just say that I would not have made it to this release
