Hazel, who grew up in the 1940s and Jason who had no access to a phone and lived in Camp Jupiter his entire life.
They both do not understand meme culture one bit.
Piper: omg hazel you ate and left not a single crumb.
Hazel: I... I'm not eating anything?
Leo, making tacos: girl dinner, girl dinner
Jason: we're both boys?
Percy: no but i was literally serving in that toga.
Hazel: stop.

Hot thought of the day: those who crossed the Helcaraxë have the similar macabre and blasé about death humor that gen z and millennials tend to have which is kinda wild to other elves
It’s part of the reason Elrond tends to get on so well with Glorfindel: because he was raised by the murder siblings.
Glorfindel will just say something like “oh at least it’d be a fast death” if he almost falls off a(nother) cliff and Elrond will snort and Lindir will look at them both in horror

things i've heard college professors say pt. 15

(professor, turning back to the class) probably a serial killer
-Yeah, and then Shakespeare was like I never fucking loved you–
-The three typical sources of creative nonfiction essays are the unconscious mind, literature, or the trauma of our lives. Now none of these are technically untrue–
