Dear Teachers, Thank You...

Go ahead… have a drink. You deserve it. Dear Amazing Teachers, As we sail through another school year, I wanted to take a moment to send a heartfelt thank you your way. Your patience, kindness, and ability to wrangle a classroom of energetic youngsters never ceases to amaze me. Seriously, you all deserve medals… or at least a lifetime supply of caffeine!

everyone talks about "oh what if Percy could bloodbend" but I think there is woeful little discussion about other potentially fucked up big 3 kid powers:

I mean it's already canonical Hades/Pluto kids can just. straight up kill you. Like literally Nico can just tap people on the shoulder and they get Thanos Snapped. Totally fucking dusted. Sometimes bones are left and he just starts controlling that but that seems to be optional. He does it like three times in Tower of Nero.

Not to mention Nico also being able to just rip people's souls out of their still living bodies. Is that a Ghost King thing or a Hades kid thing or a combo from both? Who knows.

All the different ways Big 3 kids can make somebody just. Explode. Zeus* kids can just build up air pressure, Poseidon kids can build up water/blood pressure, and Hades kids can just make your bones splinter and shoot out.

I don't think Zeus kids would be able to mind-control people by controlling electrical impulses BUT they could just send several thousand volts directly through you via touch so like. That's not great.

Bloodbending for Poseidon kids is obvious but Hades kids have SO many options to potentially control people. Puppet their bones? Control their actual literal soul? If you go the route of "shadows are connected to the person" then dragging somebody around by their shadow? Or given that Hades kids are heavily implied to just have nearly all abilities ghosts are said to, there's a decent chance they could Just Straight Up Possess You.

Poseidon kids can control blood (and actually exemplified in canon - seemingly just about any bodily fluid, as Percy makes Achlys start choking on her own tears/snot). They could also theoretically completely dehydrate you in an instant.

Zeus* kids meanwhile can. Make air bubbles in your blood or etc. Which is VERY bad for those of you who are unaware. Hades kids can probably just yoink all the metals out of your blood. Casually revokes your iron privileges. Poseidon kids are just yoinking your blood In General. Etc etc.

And then yknow, the casual natural disasters stuff. Zeus kids making tornados and hurricanes? Plus the aforementioned just throwing massive amounts of electricity around. Probably also able to make dust storms and stuff. Poseidon kids making hurricanes and floods and earthquakes? Or being able to create geysers just wherever they want? Hades kids also being able to make earthquakes or just shatter the ground or create giant ravines and etc. And, yknow, ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. And aforementioned insta-killing I guess. Bonus Hera kids probably being able to also do tornados and dust storms and etc, possibly moreso than Zeus kids.

*Zeus with an asterisk because wind/air powers actually seem to be more of an Hera/Juno thing and so exclusive to Jason and not Thalia, while Zeus/Jupiter seems to be just the storms/electricity.

'let them say fuck' this 'let them swear' that

let them cry

let them sob in the shower

let them soak their friend's sleeve with tears

let them wake up with red eyes

let them laugh cry with their friends over a forgotten inside joke

let them cry while kissing their partner, finally finished with whatever hell they were going through

#let them kick their godly parent in the shins #yes im talking about percy jackson #also kinda everyone in the rrverse #props to apollo/lester actually crying multiple times in his books #magnus chase #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #rick riordan #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #the trails of apollo #heroes of olympus #kane chronicles #alex fierro #blitzen #hearthstone #annabeth chase #hazel levesque #frank zhang #leo valdez #jason grace #piper mclean #will solace #nico di angelo #all of them

if max didn't fall

Since he loved the “party” they threw for him, he shares his beer with everyone (grace of course does not participate) 

He finds out that shockingly enough, ruth and him are equally as obsessed with sex when they both scoff and say “watch some porn!!!!”

Pete and steph can’t help glancing at each other as they sip on beer (pete is getting very quickly drunk because he has never had beer even though ted offers him some of his jack at home)

As he gets tipsy he uses stephanie to help him get up, giggling nervously when he brushes her hair off her shoulder showing her neck 

Ritchie explains how attack on titan is actually super cool, it has tons of blood and guts and fighting, and that it’s not lame let me you show you a clip

Max smacks his shoulder and calls it “nerd shit” but *does* remember the name, where he will look it up and watch the whole first season in a weekend.

When they get back to school the next day, not much changes for the whole school. Kyle still can’t date brenda, nerds still (overall) are poorly treated.

But it gets better

They can go to the football games (if they don’t cheer for him enough, they may change though)

Theyre allowed to be in the same hallway

He’ll smack them on the shoulders and he does slap peter on the ass but not even close to the level as before

They win the big game (fuck clivesdale!!! Fuck em straight to hell!!)

Max gives ritchie a chest bump and after this he can join the huddle SOMETIMES

Steph and peter celebrate a bit more than they intended (watching it sarcastically right) and may or may not hug and get very flustered when the winning play is made.

Maybe they go study at pasquales for real next time and max shouts “I DID NOT CONSENT TO THIS RENDEZVOUS!!” every time he sees them together.

Nah. the fact that Jason remembered getting picked up by his mom as a baby, and even remembered her telling him not to be afraid of thunder bc it's his dad's way of letting him know that he's loved, has me in SHAMBLES goodbye.

#my poor baby boy #the dynamic between jason/thalia/beryl is just so tragic #he just wanted loving parents and love yet its the one thing he never got #pjo #percy jackson #pjo fandom #pjo hoo #jason grace #pjo series #pjo hoo toa #piper mclean #annabeth chase #leo valdez #frank zhang #hazel levesque #why

I think Grace being okay with committing massive idolatry in order to spread her ideals of chastity is very telling of her relationship with religion. Something something fundamentalist Christianity is actually more about strictly controlling both your own and other people's behavior than it is about your relationship to the divine

#nerdy prudes must die #npmd #nerdy prudes spoilers #npmd spoilers #grace chasity #I can't believe you're having other gods before the lord rn grace :/ #and also the murder #thou shalt be a girlboss ig #I just think grace is very interesting b/c obviously she has a lot of shame that has been taught to her by her parents and her church #and the explains her worldview and actions but it doesn't excuse them #poisonheartposts

I've seen a lot of discourse about Virginia Kull's portrayal of Sally Jackson in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV series, and I'd like to say that I loved her. Don't get me wrong. I love Sally from the original book series, and I, too, would fight the God of War on her behalf. But something that I enjoyed about Virginia's portrayal of Sally that we don't get in the books is the character depth. We don't hear much of Sally's backstory in the TV series, apart from a couple of flashbacks with younger Percy and that scene with Poseidon (Toby Stephens). However, those scenes do an excellent job of showing us that alongside being Percy's mother, Sally is also a young woman who fell in love with a man she could not be with and is enduring the natural consequences of having Percy. She struggles to communicate with him when she's frustrated, gets teary-eyed when she lies to him to prolong the inevitable, and actively sacrifices her happiness to ensure his safety. Virginia Kull's portrayal of Sally Jackson reinforces the character's humanity, imperfections, and determination, and it's everything to me.

#i once saw someone say they disliked the portrayl of sally jackson because she raised her voice at percy and I'm just #*sighs* #sally is essentially a single mom who is constantly being plagued with the notion that her son may not live to see sixteen #she has to prepare him for a life that she knows is going to break him like a bone #except she has to keep some secrets from him to ensure his safety for the time being #all the while #she is plauged with guilt knowing she and poseidon contributed to placing this burden upon him #and it is even more apparent when percy voices his disappointment in her behavior as a mother #and all she wants to do is be there with him every step of the way #but knows that she can't #and you're mad because she raised her voice at him???? #parents do that (and i wish they didn't) but they do #sally is not perfect in any way and i love her for it #give her some grace #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo text post #pjo #pjo tv adaptation #pjo tv show #pjo tv concept #pjo tv series #pjo tv spoilers #sally jackson #sally jackson appreciation #sally jackson appreciation post #sally jackson is amazing #they could never make me hate you #also virignia kull is an amazing actress and i don't know if it was clear that i love her but i love her in case it wasn't clear

hey can we talk about how princess katherine of glimmer grove was canonically eighteen years old. how the great witch shelby was young enough to be a student in school. because that is a really fucked up part of their character arcs that does not get mentioned enough

#they were just kids... #they had curses and corruption and entire empires to deal with #and even though they had allies in all the other empires #the teachers and administration and former rulers and even parents just didn't care. #idk i just feel like they need a hug. #shelby grace #shubble #the great witch shelby #katherine elizabeth #princess katherine #empires smp #empires s2

A family Luke, you promised

Hestia going to Olympus for some shindig and watching Poseidon and Zeus argue about something stupid, which is mostly Poseidon saying the dumbest thing possible with the intent to piss of Zeus who knows he's being stupid on purpose but can't stop himself from getting frustrated by it, while Hades very deliberately ignores them and straight up turns around and walks off every time one of the two try to bring him into the argument.

And then she comes back to Camp to find Percy and Thalia arguing about the same fucking thing - Percy specifically being dumb on purpose to aggravate Thalia who keeps falling for it despite knowing better, while Nico literally crawls under a table with his dinner to avoid being dragged into the conversation.

As it is in heaven, so it is on earth or however the saying goes, idk, I'm not Catholic.

#happy talks pjo #thalia grace #percy jackson #nico di angelo #i just like the idea that sometimes the kids are unfortunately too much like their godly parent #hestia (pjo) #poseidon (pjo) #hades (pjo) #zeus (pjo)

my favorite thing about shipping Reyna and Jason is that they both mentaly adopted Nico

Daddies to the rescue!

There was no Steve & Danny & Gracie family hug (alas! also: crime!) BUT Danny gave Steve a hug and a kiss and he said "I love you both, most in the world" and "We saved her, we saved our Monkey" and "Thank you for always being there for us, we adore you and need you so much". How? With his eyes.

"Steve, it is you. I want to share Gracie with you".

thinking about postcanon grace once again. people have mentioned that she doesn't really have friends that we're aware of- she talks to some people in ab camp I guess but they're never mentioned again. she was never really close with any of the nerds other than sort of rudimentarily being on their side. lautski have each other and neither of them particularly liked her- after the end of the show she's most likely totally alone.

even in the community she presumably has in regards to her faith- she based her entire worth on her chastity and now that's gone. does she ever tell her parents about all the shit that happened? do they support her anyway? do they make her beg forgiveness?

all of this is to say who does grace have in the end... other than the 5 eldritch deities using her as a puppet

#i need grace angst like where do her parents fit into this??? is grace telling them about the lords in black?? whats happening there #grace chasity #npmd #hatchetfield #i see her just. becoming completely and utterly obsessed with the lords and ridding the world of dirty dudes #at the expense of quite literally everything else #how long does it take steph and pete to notice. hello #how long does she spend isolated before anyone reaches out

#whenever i get stressed i know the grace of my baptism got me!!!! #thank u agnostic parents u really did a W with that one
