Heroes of Olympus AU - Octavian is some sort of semi-famous social media influencer, that either obsessively makes content for a fandom he's been hyperfixated on (like Harry Potter or Star Wars or something) or he makes content with memes, tips and hacks to help neurodivergent ppl (like those "Global undiagnosed autism experience" or "use this study method if you have ADHD").
He started doing this bc he had a lot of things to say about his special interests and no one to talk to bc everyone around him found him annoying, so he started a secret social media account and worked his way up to a well known influencer.
Leo is his biggest fan and has watched all of his videos, with bc he's also hyperfixated on the same fandom or because the tips help him a lot to function. And he immediately recognizes him and his eyes turn into little hearts. He's been obsessed with that dude bc Leo is 100% a pop culture minion and he's been trying to convince his friends to watch his content as well but they just don't get it like he does.
So during the first Greek/Roman meeting, Leo's sitting there, amongst his friends, that are mocking and interrupting his idol, that is only a few feet away from Leo himself, and he has to contain his excitement and not seem weird and scare him off. And then he actually gets to be alone with this man that he's been hyperfixated on for at least two to three years and he thinks he'll explode!!

Does anyone else think that Bernard Dowd becoming a chef does not make any sense for his character?
In my opinion, it feels random for a someone like him who has been displayed as this intuitive, attentive, social, and perhaps even a social chameleon like character. Also not to make his conspiracy theories his whole character, but his enjoyment of those theories shows a unique perspective and way of thinking that I think could be utilized more.
Like I personally hate that there is this pattern/over abundance of love interests in the DC Universe being reporters or in the vein of detectives, but even Bernard veering toward private investigator or a reporter would have made more sense for his character. It involves social skills and charm, and his whole vibe as a 'social chameleon' who can blend in with any group of people, but doesn't truly fit in anywhere/any one place/in general (and in my opinion) would struggle to find a place he fits or a direction in his life.
What are your guys thoughts? I feel like there is a better career for Bernard that would make sense for his character and the way he thinks and acts.

My computer has died!!! Very much not working rn. Absolutely not functional and I'm unable to fix it at the moment. Not sure how long I'll be in dead computer jail but um
For now, I'm kind of out of commission cause I can't really draw without a computer. Today has just not quite been my day, I suppose!

Hello, I'm your new follower and a newbie here on Tumblr. I'm so amazed by your life improvements, especially knowing that you're a Software Engineer, which is my dream profession. However, I'm still in my 3rd year of college, taking a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Truth be told, I don't know if I can still reach my dream because I have a lot on my mind, and I'm mentally bothered. Plus, I'm still at my parents' house. Can you please give me advice on how to become someone like you? Ty
hi lovely! welcome to tumblr and my little corner of it, hope you enjoy your stay 🤗
i'm sorry to hear there are hardships you feel are making it difficult to achieve your dreams 🥺 i had a lot of doubts and obstacles too before i landed my current job. just remember that experience gives you knowledge, which gives you confidence 🥰 i still have doubts to this day, i've just learned healthier ways to manage them, like getting another person's perspective or keeping a journal/learning log so that i can see how far i've come.
in your case, for example, third year!! you've come very far, indeed! i seriously considered dropping out after my first year and then again after my second, and i know really smart people who actually have dropped out at those stages, but here you are! sometimes, when the current is strong, just standing in it is an achievement in itself! 🌊
also, pro-tip: stay in your parents house as long as you can. living alone and paying rent/mortgage is so overrated. i live with my parents and i intend to for as long as we're happy together! this way, i can take care of them as they get older too~ 💕
as far as improving my life goes, i'm only human and some days i just don't want to bother 😂 but when i am in the mood to better myself, i don't hesitate, i just do. it doesn't have to be perfect. you don't need to have a plan or be consistent right out of the gate. you think you should drink more water? do that. you think you should work out? do that. then notice. notice how you feel as you do it, notice how you feel after. then in that "afterglow" you'll be more able to say to yourself, "we should do this again sometime" and then you're more likely to commit. after that, it's all about goal-setting, organization, and maintaining motivation.
hope this helps get you started! feel free to pop in anytime 😘 more advice that i've personally found helpful to remember at different times in my life can also be found here ❤️ you got this!! 💪

Also i doubt Augustus is gonna be jonah cos the third VA whose character was kept a secret wasn't ben meredith right? Then again, maybe it is him and he just wouldn't be using elias's voice so it'd be jonah's own voice hence the new va
