thinking about death is scary but heeeyyy if the heavens are above in the stars that must mean the other end is in the sea and personally i’d love to “atone” as a little fish going blublublublu for all of eternity in quiet, peaceful, solitude. No conscious, just fish

#This idea has been floating around in my head for a while #because you know what #It’s really fucked up that this stuff is so binary #It shouldn’t be eternal paradise vs enternal suffering #Because people change #And people reflect #Rehab is so important for this reason #But religion and stuff if taught wrong drills into our heads that it’s always one or the other #And that’s just really mean and fucked up #I think being a silent little fish with no brain is a better punishment then suffering for all of eternity #Because you can’t do SHIT as a fish #And i would enjoy it personally #But it’s pretty lame when you think abt it #this is my way of coping with the afterlife #Because binary one or the other situations suck and we should eliminate them #Nothing in nature is binary #As much as we’d like to pretend

Just heard a wellness coach say it’s fatphobic to intentionally lose weight, but if you unintentionally lose weight, it’s okay. Because intentionally losing weight says that you believe smaller is healthier.

And that just makes my blood boil.

One of the symptoms of out of control diabetes is unintentional weight loss. The risk of type 2 diabetes goes up if you’re over two hundred pounds (for some heights) and you carry the excess weight on your stomach.

In short, being smaller reduces your risk of diabetes. Yeah, I know there are those who are just naturally thick, and I’m not arguing for people to go to unhealthy weights. But as someone who grew up with family members who are diabetic, and therefore is at risk myself, you can’t just say stuff like, “Oh, if you’re losing weight unintentionally, that’s not fatphobic!” That is so ignorant! So damaging!

It’s so good to know that if I want to get smaller to avoid getting a life altering disease, I’m fatphobic, but if I lose that weight because of that disease, I’m not!

FAN-tastic!

#I honestly hate this ''fatphobic'' diatribe #because you know what #yeah #maybe I am #I'm not going to sit here and criticize everyone who's overweight #unless weight loss is something they share with me #or maybe if I have a kid in the future who ends up taking the track I'm trying to get off #and I don't want them to share in the health problems obesity causes- genetically or otherwise #but if I don't like the way I look because of my size #and/or I don't want to end up with health issues related to that?#Then maybe you shouldn't shame me for being ''fatphobic'' because I think I have a good reason #to be afraid of fat

Has anyone done a harringrove moodboard where the two of them run away to California? With foreverlasting sunset, white waves surfing and winds hitting the blue paint of Billy's Camaro?

I stumbled across a fic just like that but wasn't in the right mood to read. But I'm totally in on it rn.

#because you know what #fuck neil and his abusive ass #and low expectations and college pressure #what we need is healing and happiness #harringrove #in need of Cali's hot and salty air

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime?#you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

#this post is edited because you're all annoying. maybe I'll turn it back someday #it sucks that people can't even be normal about a funny family story once the fact that we're greek comes into the fold #suddenly its all about blorbofied mythology shit and idiots saying ''GREECE IS REAL???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯'' yeah percy j*ckson didnt make it up #maybe it would be less annoying if they weren't all saying it like I'd think it's funny that they don't know we exist instead of like #disturbing on a personal level. like what the fuck #man if you can't acknowledge we exist in real life just name your oc Icarus something else idgaf #so yeah explode. Skase. Voulos'to. Valto mesa sto katamalakismeno mouni tis mana's sou. Psophise. etc.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

#9/11 #serious post #not a shitpost #this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks #politics #this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it #i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed #because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes.#and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries #we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government #but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation!#a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!!#a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support #so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*???#well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains #and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel #truth is irrelevant #worse: to the people in charge #truth is a HINDRANCE #'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase #facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it)#The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?

Keeper -- a short comic about an angel meeting a robotic lighthouse keeper that doesn't know the world has already ended. Made in about 18 hours for a 24-hour 24-page* black and white comic challenge (that I arrived late to, ha.)

*the actual submission does not include the cover, which was created after the fact for this post.

This was a really great learning experience as someone who's... never really made a completed comic. I ended up really attached to the story by the end of the project (possibly due to all-nighter deliriousness lol) and ultimately am very proud of what I made.There are some things I'd still like to change, particularly text placement, but in keeping with the spirit of the challenge I've elected to leave it as is.
