↳ leo valdez x daughter of oizys headcanons! <3

☀️ sunni’s notes : HEYYY ARTIST!! THANK YOU FOR REQUESTINGGG! new layout (again,, i love being indesicive LMFAOOAOA) i might close my reqs soon because i’m pretty busy with other stuff right now!! guys swear. I MIXED UP OIZYS AND MORPHEUS IM SO GOOONE. let’s ignore that. and whoever requested the first oizys oneshot, i’m remakring it for you!! AHH SO SORRY 😅 lots of love and sunkisses, — sunni!

୨୧ you we’re claimed later on, since oizys’ was a very busy goddess!

୨୧ but when you we’re, by olympus, you caught eyes.

୨୧ especially the very own leo valdez’s.

୨୧ he’d always been drawn to you, even before you we’re claimed.

୨୧ could it be,,

୨୧ your aura? your reserved demeanor? maybe it was your eyes. or the way you never really smiled, but when you did, it was bittersweet and genuine, like wine.

୨୧ well whatever it was,

୨୧ THIS MAN WAS DOWN BAD FOR YOU.

୨୧ you thought your day would be normal, you’d have breakfast, hang with some campers, and maybe read a book or two back at the hermes’ cabin.

୨୧ but as you tried to grab your cup of coffee, it had slipped out of your hand,

୨୧ the hot liquid burnt your skin, the campers from apollo cabin eagerly trying to help you.

୨୧ you winced, but shocked when everybody had gasped to glance over the top of your head.

୨୧ looking up, a glowing skull had lightened up above you!

୨୧ leo across the dining pavilion, had his mouth hanging open.

୨୧ not only we’re you a daughter of the goddess’ of misery, failure, etc.

୨୧ but you we’re the first.

୨୧ feeling embarassed, you fled, running off to somewhere far away from everybody else.

୨୧ and who followed you?

୨୧ LEO VALDEZ BAAAABBYY!!!

୨୧ he was so worried for you. almost losing you a couple of times as he chased you down through the woods,

୨୧ he finally found you in the corner, right by the ex-entrance of the labyrinth.

୨୧ you hugged your knees as you buried half of your face in them.

୨୧ he sat by you without a word,

୨୧ up until, “hi. you.. you okay?”

୨୧ he’d never spoken to you before out of nervousness.

୨୧ you wiped the tears off your face, “no.. uh, not really, no.”

୨୧ “i.. i figured.”

୨୧ “i’m a freak. a weird, miserable freak. a nightmare.”

୨୧ “a beautiful one. at least.”

୨୧ looking up with your tear-stained cheeks, leo beamed at you.

୨୧ “that’s.. that’s a thing right? please tell me that’s a thing or this is gonna be really embarassing for me.”

୨୧ finally, you giggled.

୨୧ “(name).”

୨୧ “leo.”

Book rant? Anthropology, apes, and racism discussion.

I started reading a book titled "Bonobo Handshake" by Vanessa Woods. I picked it up because a) I want to learn more about bonobos since my knowledge of them is minimal. b) the author had interacted with bonobos in person so it's an interesting perspective to read. c) the book had positive reviews.

I was not expecting the author to start off telling us about the 'discovery' of bonobos in this way.

W-what do you mean, in Belgium? The author makes it clear that bonobos live in Congo and she gives us a few examples of local bonobo lore. Meaning, people in Congo know the bonobos very well. Way to go to give a colonizer the credit??? wtf. In this perspective, she is letting us know THAT was the moment when Bonobos entered western science, which is true. But I was really hoping the author would give it a more holistic view than this, but it seems she really believes in this??? And let me tell you, from what I am picking up between the lines, she ONLY accepts western science. Here is an example:

This is the page that confuses me immensely. I don't know if she is trying to come off as sarcastic or not. She sets out for us that Takayoshi Kano is the star of Bonobo research, but in the next paragraph says there is no one studying Bonobos. "there was never a Jane Goodall or Dian Fossey for bonobos." UHM NO? YOU JUST SAID THERE WAS???

[highlighting and writing over a picture of the page (32) since it's a library book and I can't write on it.]

She says Japanese researchers are responsible for all we know on Bonobos, but then starts talking about de Waal's zoo discoveries in detail, and they seem pretty minor compared to Kano's work with wild bonobos. She did point out that scientists don't take de waal's observations seriously because it's from a zoo, but she doesn't remedy that by telling us if it can be supported by Kano's work or not when compared. Kano is ignored. He does have one book available in English, so it's not like we can't ever learn about what he observed. you said western mainstream media don't want to listen to a man who only spoke Japanese??? UHM. You are too??? Why did you jump to de waal? If it's a book about bonobos, then please give Kano a little spotlight and tell about his research. (I actually want to read Kano's book now but I can't find a borrowable copy of it. It's a complicated long loop to get one. But it's possible T-T!!!!)

I very much dislike her tone in 'oh it's the Japanese that tell us about bonobo'. It is as if no one is actually researching them at all. They are 'foreign' so it doesn't count. Meanwhile, if it's a white person's discovery, it is humanity's. But if it's someone else theeennnn well we are not sure if it's actually real :/ Not until a white person observes this can we really put this into humanity's archive of knowledge. Otherwise, whatever they learnt is not very important or worth talking about.

I'm not gonna drop the book, because it does get me thinking about stuff and that's what I read books for. I guess it reminds me of University days, of how irritated I get when we are assigned a problematic reading to pick apart and present to class. I hope I'm not picking this apart too much 😭 I'm not sure if I'm enraged and reading too much into it. I might be totally wrong. idk... I think I need to join an anthropology book club to have people to talk with about this. Only way for now is to share on the internet and maybe a discussion starts. Want to see what others think of this (especially if they read the book).

#anthropology #Bonobo Handshake #apes #bonobo #racism #reading #sorry I haven't posted are in a while. It's because.... I haven't drawn kdsjghsdkjgnsj #I do have a chimpanzee acrylic painting I'm working on slowly! but i've never worked with acrylic so it's just experiments #no sharing yet #and concept art for my story... that I am also not sharing yet. #well that's all. bye!

It’s actually so funny how irrelevant I am

Like, I could say that if this post gets 500 notes, I’ll eat more than one meal a day,

And that post would get 50 max votes💀💀💀

#it kinda makes me sad #but then again #I’m boring #so 50 notes is a lot #I get less on my writing blog🤷‍♂️ #I spend hours writing those stories #I’ll only get 10 note max🤷‍♂️ #destroys my motivation sometimes #no one really cares about my writing🤷‍♂️ #which sucks #but at least I know that there’s no reason to become an author #especially if no one’s gonna read my book #… #ngl #this kinda turned into a vent #my bad😅

Facing my fear of movie theaters by going to the first showing of the day sgdggdgd

I think I'll be the only person there which would be awesome tbh

AND I dont have to break my streak of having seen every hunger games movie in theaters :D I'm excited man

#marquilla #first one i saw with my friend from middle school and her weird ass family sgdgdgdggd second and third was with my ms/hs best friend who #also loved the books (we would have 'arguments' over what character was the best cough cough finnick cough cough which drove my dad insane #listening to every single time we would pick her up to come over (40 min drive one way atgagagsg) #and the last one i saw with my first boyfriend who really didnt have any thoughts one way or the other ab the books but he DID think gale #was better than peeta which lead to an 'argument' in the parking lot while we were looking for his moms car sgdgdggdgd we both #agreed that finnick was better though sgdggdg #and by arguments i mean they were those goofy 'my fav is better than YOURS' debates you have with friends that are always in good fun #now this time im going alone bc i really wanna see it and mom didnt read the book yet/isnt really interested (more like eh ill get you the #dvd when it comes out and we can watch it) this is my first time going by myself though which is kinda exciting sgdgd #did you know you can order food ahead of time and have it delivered to your seat?? thats wild to me #id feel so awkward doing that especially since it's probably just gonna be me today shhdhdhdhd

i saw the hunger games prequel movie last night! i haven't read the book for it but i thought it was pretty good, especially the first part. i have a lot of fond memories from the heyday of the hunger games trilogy, so it was exciting and nostalgic to have a new experience.

that said 2 hours and 37 minutes is a RIDICULOUS runtime. remember when movies used to be 90 minutes

#i think the hunger games were the first books i read on kindle #and i went to all the midnight premieres i think #i had a mockingjay from a popcorn box on my locker at school #(until it disappeared and it was a Whole Thing) #i played an extra (and also foxface) in a local cosplayer's parody videos #actually during one of the premieres i was dressed as a capitol person and drew winners for a lottery #GOOD TIMES #i havent read the prequel book bc i wasn't sure how i felt about having the Backstory Of The Antagonist #especially not if it was gonna be about some doomed romance #but as it turns out it's actually very interesting worldbuilding bc it goes to the early days of the hunger games #and also there's folk music <3 #the hunger games is a really good series actually. it knows what it's about #the YA dystopia genre has a Reputation for sure but the problem it has is bc they like the aesthetics of dystopia #and make up things to be dystopic about. which is a risky move #i think sarah z made a whole video on that it's good #i just. now that time has passed i have more of an appreciation for the hunger games and how good those books are #im having Feelings about things but im so so so exhausted i can't word things rn #it's like. it's a story about propaganda. and how the revolution sings.

[typingwithmyhandstied]

I really wanna write FLF fanfiction but I feel like I have no shot at doing the characters justice.

#especially phoebe and silas #and they are the ones i wanna write about the most #this is like the fact that i don't dare write soc fanfic because I don't trust myself #i really only trust myself with zoyalai idk why #i probably still will but idk #also i usually read fanfic right after i finish a book to obsess over it/move on #can't really do that right now #or talk to my mom (she's gonna read it eventually) #i am at a loss

Song of the Day: April 15

"Something in the Way She Moves" by James Taylor

#song of the day #it's been two weeks + two days since the last song of the day #the issue is you see that I started the songs up again in December because my insomnia was fucking up my perception of time #and I wanted some kind of regular marker to help me keep track #and then what happened two weeks + two days ago is that I lost all track of time and subsequently the songs of the day failed #I'm gonna see if I can keep up again for a bit now that I've re-restarted without an alarm on my phone #but if I miss any this week I'll just give in and turn the alarm back on #updates from the last two weeks are going to sound so chaotic let's see #I got a new project at work /and/ I got demoted /and/ I got added to a higher access level /and/ I'm in charge of a new database #yes all of those things together. I'm to be an accountant now! not instead but in addition to my other stuff. should be interesting #I didn't get April Fools off like I was scheduled to because all my scheduled vacation got unapproved #(I was here for about twenty nonsequential minutes to boop people and I'm glad I made time for it. extremely fun to boop) #I lied shamelessly to get eclipse day off and we went on a full-day roadtrip and it was wonderful. everything I dreamed and more #I killed one of my baby succulents through clumsiness and rabbits ate my pea plants but my sage and cabbages look promising #got a massive pot of mint flourishing on my porch and the horseradish is gorgeous #got Duncan lights and plants and a filter system for his frog tank but we haven't set up the substrate yet #so there's just potted plants sitting inside a terrarium. very amusing honestly #I've been playing a little Stardew and eating a /lot/ of hot sauce and tofu #drinking tons of klass aguas frescas--especially the soursop one. holy shit is it good. the mango and hibiscus also #and these past few days I've been sleeping better #for most of those two weeks I was getting a handful of twenty-minute naps each workday and then crashing unwillingly on the weekend #I haven't read any comic books since February :'( this weekend we're going to costco and then I'm reading comics until Monday #what have y'all been up to? I've missed being around #edit: oh shit the actual song part. anyway this is James Taylor! makes me happy and helps me settle. good vibes songs #I'm half-panicked about work all the time recently and then also today was tax day (Nick's taxes. blegh) #James Taylor doing some heavy lifting round here

It's 4am and I cannot go to sleep because I have half an hour left in my book, and it's a murder mystery, and I need answers

#its so good #its called fifty feet down by sophie tanen #its about a lesbian reporter investigating the murders of teenage boys in a small town #it reminds me of the town i grew up in #its so cool and suspenseful and ive been hooked since the beginning #like ive been reading 50-100 pages a day because i desperately want to finish #and now its 4am and im so tired but i need answers!! #i cant wait to add this to my book blanket #i have so many rowd now and it looks so cool #i chose black for the horror genre but i just had a horror kick and read four horror books #so it goes navy for a few rows and purple for a couple rows and then just a huge chunk of black #i cant choose between gray and dark green for mystery #on one hand. gray really reminds me of the book. on the other hand ill probs read a decent amount of mystery #and i want my blanket to be full of cool colors #idk ill figure it out later. im currently unraveling an old blanket to get the yarn for this blanket and tomorrow im getting a yarn spinner #so thats gonna help me so much! i tried to learn how to make yarn cakes by hand but that is too difficult #especially with huge skeins of super bulky yarn #this post went off the rails a little bit #anyway should i read until 4:30 or go to bed? im gonna read #goodnight!!

add “friday night parties” to the list of things I am NOT gonna miss about living in a dorm… I mean noisy neighbors were already on there but this specifically bothers me on so many levels

#see normally I’d just put on my noise cancelling headphones and it’d be whatever but #I am so determined not to fuck up my piercing #and I really don’t wanna tell them to shut up bc it sounds like they’re having fun and I’m in an especially too nice for my own good mood #and! I do genuinely earnestly want them to have fun. I am NOT a hater!! just bc I never got to do any sort of partying and never really #wanted to anyway doesn’t mean I’m gonna project that onto anyone else #but on the other hand friday nights specifically are sacred to me #as the first night of the weekend where I get to sleep in and the first night I don’t have to worry about assignments due the next morning #and also as a kind of religious thing #I don’t really observe shabbat anymore but I never was able to get used to the friday night = party time association #and I don’t particularly want to!! friday nights are for chillin and I like it that way. #anyway all this to say I am trying to enjoy my chill evening and there is NOISE and I’m not gonna do anything about it (at least #until Official Quiet Hours start) but I absolutely will complain #I convinced my mom to get a library card and give me the number so I can read books on libby #(would have gotten one myself but idk if I qualify for one at the library near my school and I’ll be gone in a few months anyway) #and now I am TRYING to read lockwood & co book 1 #(yes it is technically a middle grade series. yes I am twenty two years old. if the show is anything to go by it’s a more accurate #portrayal of teenagers than any media I consumed as an actual teen. let me live) #but alas. The Noise #and yeah I know noisy neighbors are not exclusively a dorm thing but I can’t imagine a normal apartment will be nearly this bad #also to be clear this is not a weekly occurrence #I don’t actually think these particular neighbors have given me any issues before #which is part of why I’m feeling so patient with them… probably too patient tbh #I should probably delete this later #probably shouldn’t post it at all but oh well. what’s the point of life if you can’t share every minor annoyance with #a bunch of strangers on the internet? #screams into the void

the way I'm currently on my fourth(?) morganville vampires read through and i still could not tell you the layout of the glass house

#natchats #morganville vampires #i have an image of it in my mind #but i know its not accurate #bc the book will say somethinf and to picture it ill kinda have to adjust what im picturing idk #i also have suuuuch issues with remembering what happens in books #so me remembering the layout of a house or town is just not gonna happen #this is part of why i wanna get into annotating a bit #bc i wanna remember #especially when it comes to my faves #and i think annotating will make me focus more #anyways #i finished reading ghost town today #one of my faves i think #bite club is next #and my memory of it is fencing and eithe shane or michael being annoying #i dont remember it being a faaave #but every morganville book is a five star to me so like #i obvs still stan

[eribent]

my best friend said they might read tfios i. legitimately might cry

#i've wanted. just one person. literally any person that matters to me. #to read this book. since i was 13. #and i didn't realize i still needed and wanted that? until last night #when they just mentioned it off handedly !!!! #off handedly !!! i didn't even bring it up !!!!!! #i didn't realize how important something like this was to me #but. yk? after years of me trying to share my interests with the people i care about only to be shut down #especially with john green books #it feels. so fucking good to be seen by them in this way !!! #i'm gonna take one of my extra copies when i visit them in november #and they're just gonna give it back when i move closer to them midnext year #i'm so 🥰🥰🥰 #original post

[crybaby-bkg]

why did I just buy a vampire book knowing I don’t like vampire books ☹️

#bc it’s a reverse harem that’s why #but still :( #I’ve been trying to get out of my comfort zone #and read things I typically don’t #especially bc these feelings have been set up from when I was a teenager #and I’ve changed and grown #but these likes feel like they’re all staying the same sldkfk #vamp books were ruined for me by this really shitty one like 6 years ago #and now they’re just meh to me #but I’m gonna try again #maybe not w this book bc im not liking the storyline akdjdkf #MAYBE ITS JUST ME???? #—in store chit chat! 🍫

[sixofravens-reads]

Okay, after decompressing with several hours of Stardew Valley (and some really good pasta and birthday cake) I've decided to continue on with my library books. Still DNFing Archivist Wasp and Dark Rise for now (I'd confused the latter with one of the author's other books about gay fencing rivals (?), so that's why I'm quitting after like 10 pages lol).

Going to give Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches a try since it's next in line and the blurb sounds interesting to me.

#also realized part of the reason that i wanted to give up on them is bc im visiting family this weekend and like.... #i don't want them to see me reading a clearly gay YA book lmao #my mother especially tends to make a lot of weird anxiety-fuelled assumptions about me based on what books i read and i don't wanna deal #with that when I'll be stuck in a car with her for 8 hours round trip lmao #so this weekend im gonna take The Left Hand of Darkness with me instead. no one can judge me for reading classic sci fi! #thinking about reading

[maddy-ferguson]

i really don't understand why people who only read YA or people who only watch cartoons made for kids try to tell us that it's actually just as good and deep and thought-provoking as media made for adults like i do know it's because they know it's not and they feel inferior or whatever but it's very funny

#i haven't read a ya book in like...hmm idk four years i think and i bought the most generic wattpad-y book because i was depressed and i #literally seeked out a book that was like bad fanfic because i wanted to spend money on bad literature #and feel slightly better. and i actually did #and are there good ya books sure not everything that's written for a young(er) audience is bad obviously but i remember when i was a kid/a #teenager i was like wow. i will never want to read books written for adults i'll want to be reading this forever. and then I GREW UP #i'm not even that old #for the cartoons um well i like gravity falls i'm younger than mabel and dipper did you know that. but they were younger than me in my mind #when i was watching like on tv for the first time because i was soooo mature #i've rewatched all of violetta as an adult do you see me act like that's better than like the rest of tv #it's so funny with the ao3 femslash poll thing this is what inspired this. especially when we're talking about ships i just can't imagine a #ship in a kids show being better than a ship in not a kids show like sorry i just don't believe you #i was gonna say something else but i forgot. 😁 #oh totally spies i watch one or two episodes every monday morning. pour vivre l'action il faut être à la mode #like it's literally fun but why do they always have to act like it's BETTER are you seven years old #and like i say: brf slt

[ifyourereadingthisblinktwice]

i hate world building cause i’ll have short periods of time where it’s the only thing i wanna work on and i get a bunch of ideas super quickly and the rest of the time is spent like. wow this is the worst thing i’ve ever made i should just scrap it entirely and never look at it again cause i suck at it. and then there’s right now which is a weird blend of the two

#like i wanna work on it rn but. also have no ideas and i don’t know where to proceed #like i have to change some stuff for it to work. and i don’t wanna think about it cause it feels like i’m going so far from original idea. #like i was gonna make it a dnd campaign for my friends but i keep thinking that’s not the best format for this cause im shit at writing #and dont think i can make the story at cool and interesting as i want it to be #or that it’s even as cool and interesting as i think it is #like i keep thinking this would work better as a book or another format #but i can’t write! especially beginnings and endings so i feel like i’m stuck in a weird middle and it sucks #i’ve been working on this for years now and i feel like i’ve gotten nowhere for the amount of time i’ve spent on it #it’s so unmotivating and the more i think about it the less i wanna work on it cause i have such high expectations for it #that i know for a fact it’ll never reach #i’m just. #i’m just really sad about it. like about to cry about it sad #vent #i guess #i love writing in the tags cause no one reads them #also feeling like i wasted money cause i got a world anvil yearly thing and i love it but. i rarely use it for the above reasons #ugh i hate this #me rambling #the urge to delete everything i’ve done for it thus far is so real rn

[theamazingannie]

I preordered the new PJO book a week ago with the intention that I was gonna reread the first series before it came out (cuz I don’t have HOO yet) and here I am the night before I’m supposed to get my book and this bitch just got to camp

#I cannot read like I used to it’s so pathetic #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #to be fair now when I get distracted it usually cuz a line reminded me of one of my ocs #so then I either gotta write or just mentally write #and next thing you know I forgot I was reading and I’m off doing something else #I’m not very tired tonight and my writing juice that has been flowing for the last week seems to be drying up #so I’m gonna try to get through at least this book #cuz I want to start reading the new one as soon as I get it #especially since my sister wants it after me #tho to be fair she’s a teacher who’s dealing with issues at her school on top of working on her masters #so she’s validly unable to read
