Its actually so ironic that Romans claim that they are all "loyal soldiers" but camp Jupiter didn't even TRY to look for Jason??? That man was literally a praetor and is legit the SON of Jupiter. He is so important to their camp and held so much emotional importance. He was there since he was 4! None of his friends there apart from reyna seemed concerned about him either (heck I'd even argue that reyna's concern was watered down aswell, it could've been written better, rick making her develop a brief crush on Percy seemed very ooc for her, considering that she had been pining for jason for quite a long time and was seriously confident that they'd be together, So her pushing that out the window for a new boy she met 2 weeks ago and just accepted Jason disappearance without much thought was not very Reyna tbh but it's my opinion ig) they were all just like "oh such a shame ig jason was cool"

It proves how they treat soldiers like they're some scraps of machine. Only important if they are helpful to you. But if they're gone? No big deal. We can always replace him with someone better.

If you compare this with chb, they are SO loyal to Percy, even the hunters started looking for him, even when they had little to no success, they tried anyway.

Camp Jupiter gave up pretty quickly and just considered him dead. heck, even if they thought jason was dead, why didnt they hold a funeral for him? not even a thank you for all the service he provided? it's heartbreaking. Because a part of Jason KNEW in the lost hero that nobody was looking for him the way Thalia was looking for Percy. He didn't even need his memories back to know that the people of his hometown didn't consider him as important. Fucking tragic.

In a way, I'm kind of glad Jason sort of rejected his roman life bc they did not deserve him at all (Except Reyna/hazel/Frank ofc but you get my point) atleast he had self respect to not go crawling back to a place where no one ever hesitated to replace him.

Camp half blood had done more for Jason in 6 months than Camp Jupiter had done in 15 years. To them, jason was just an asset, to the Greeks, Jason was a friend.

cassius and trebonius are interesting because there's about three or four different variations on how their dynamic falls into place that exist in my mind, and all are equally compelling to me. like, does cassius approach him first? or is it trebonius that seeks him out. maybe cicero is the one who initiates the first meeting! I could make full comics about each of them if only there was time.

this one, however, is much more balanced in that they don't really seek each other out for conspiracy, but conspiracy creeps in on it's own. brutus is a character here, theoretically. like, I thought about him when I was writing this, and cicero is here for two panels.

also, it's funny to me if they both stay up late complaining about caesar for six hours straight because caesar fucked them over on the political ladder in comparable ways, but also (in reference to (Plutarch, Brutus 8)):

cassius, 4am: and he took my fucking lions, man. trebonius, immediately: do you want me to kill him for you

it's like. aughghhhhh. weeping. wailing. can we talk about how trebonius is identified in association with cassius here.

Rome and Parthia: Empires at War, Gareth C. Sampson

and in turn, it is cassius who will act as retribution personified in the matter of trebonius' death

#im going to do something really unwell with them in bad governance actually. once i figure out. how to filipino-ify trebonius' name #or. hm. do i have a cayo yet. maybe trebonius can be the single cayo #anyway. caesar humiliating both cassius and trebonius. cassius of 'cannot stand a tyrant' fame and trebonius of 'look at everything #i did for you' dedication. hmm. HM. this conspiracy was always going to happen #it is funny to me that ive voltaire-ed brutus in my own stuff even tho i have written at length about brutecass and they have their own tag #its just. aughghghh. trebonius.........cassius!!!!!!!

Simon Petrikov, Healing, Self-love, and a smidge more of Greek mythology if you really squint

“Ulysses” poem excerpt by Alfred Tennyson // Fionna and Cake Episode 10 “Cheers” // “Exitlude” by The Killers // “Cheers” // “Talk To Me” by cavetown // “a poem traveled down my arm” by Alice Walker // “Cheers” // “Ulysses” book by James Joyce

#UGH i love the Ulysses poem specifically #it’s only an excerpt but all of it is totally Simon #it’s about growing old but still feeling that passion for adventure that you did when you strove with gods #and that you aren’t what you were before but that which you are you are. mwah mwah. i love it sm #adventure time #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #adventure time spoilers #simon petrikov #web weave #anyway ulysses is actually the roman equivalent of Odysseus #a hero renowned for his intelligence and cleverness. but also his love. #his dedicated myth (the odyssey. duh) is all about him on his way home to see his wife after the Trojan war #he also built his own palace. by himself iirc #and was the king of ithaca #what i’m saying is simon has most similar qualities with Odysseus/Ulysses than he does with any other Greek myth figure #(oh wow maeo ur so cool) thank u brackets person omg #txt

people are getting mad about a contemporary art thing again so naturally I had to check it out and see if it's as empty, stupid, and pretentious as everyone is saying.

turns out Roman Signer is a down to earth dude with a sense of humour who doesn't take himself too seriously, which was exactly the vibe I was getting from his works.

"falling buckets of sand gee how original, so I guess I was making "art" all the time as a kid then 🙄" yes actually, according to Signer's own philosophy kids are making art all the time and not thinking of it as art. you can disagree with this mindset, but he does not strike me as a man who'd be in any way bothered by someone saying "I can do that myself" and then doing it themself. he strikes me as someone who would in fact encourage doing it yourself, because it's fun.

if he was a pretentious guy in his 20s claiming his pieces are so profound they can only be understood by the elite, sure I'd be annoyed. but he's just a funny lil old Swiss man who does funny and absurd little experiments and encourages you to laugh at them. I can't be mad at that. it's fun and way more accessible than people seem to think.

#there's a mini documentary where he says 'i did this kind of thing as a kid and called them 'experiments'' and. yea #if you reframe his 'art pieces' and 'dynamic sculptures' as just 'experiments' driven by the same curiosity as a kid standing in a river #or a cat knocking something off a table to see what happens #it becomes a lot more fun #there is of course smth to be said about hard work and skill that infuses art with something weightier #but i dont think this guy is trying to be weighty. he's doing something else. #there is plenty of room in the world for beautiful meaningful paintings that took many hours of skill and dedication #i dont think roman signer doing what he does is taking away from that or devaluing that in any way #because he's not trying to displace that kind of art. he's doing something else entirely and having fun doing it #ik i'm in the minority but i just enjoy a bit of absurdity. i dont think there's any harm in it #dec 2023

thinking about this very hypothetical child of Neptune (who I am definitely not thinking about writing a fic around) and she'll have to be a girl because of the established pattern (if you don't understand, just think about it for a min) and thinking about how she could turn fresh water into salt water with just a touch, and how she'd speak with an almost monotone, until she's really really fucking angry and then the cadence of her voice pitches and twists like the thrashing of the waves, and how her eyes would be almost as dark as Nico's, a dark blue-gray of storm clouds, an always clear threat, and how she'd be able to blend in easily with other people, appearing sweet almost, with a subtle air of danger around her that people ignore until it's too late, and how she'd rip the blood from someone's veins without batting an eye, and how she'd stand behind Percy encouraging him to let go, to give into the violent nature of the ocean in their blood, to cave to the riptide, to stop fighting and let everyone else drown.

If they wanted to reach the surface, maybe they should've swam harder.

#happy talks pjo #the fresh water to salt water thing is because neptune was also considered the god of fresh water in addition to the ocean #which makes it even funnier than they feared him in pjo canon bc um. why would you be scared of the guy who gives you drinking water #but honestly i think the romans feared neptune thing was a bit exagerrated in pjo - i can't find any IRL proof of that online #other than generic statements about how the romans weren't typically seafaring people and sailors in general were wary of the sea blah blah #besides they also had a festival for him in july (neptunalia) and they dedicated horse racing to him since he was also the god of horse #the push to represent neptune as some heavily disliked figure was some weird way to make a whole new camp bully percy again lmao #but then again was it even frigging necessary? like what did the whole neptune is bad and we don't like him or you do for the series anyway #daughters of neptune
