I love Derek teen wolf he’s the funniest man ever created. And I’ve seen many a funny man penned to page. It’s becuase he has the worst life in the world and zero charisma but looks like Tyler hoechlin. Will you be my buddy please ass character. Don’t mind me just doing my chin-ups in my house ravaged by fire that is falling apart with blackened half crumbled walls. Remember when they tried to make him cool by giving him a teenage leather jacket gang but his leather jacket gang were all losers supreme and only hung out with him because they had to. Zero family zero friends zero social skills 7 different ab exercise routines.

Like you would think if a man’s entire family burned to death by fire and then his only remaining family member was ripped in half people would know this about him and then in a hushed whisper be like. Let’s be civil with Derek. Let’s all agree to make polite conversation with Derek due to the fact that all of his family were tragically murdered by the woman who groomed him. I know he’s a bit strange and offputting but you know the tragedy he’s coping with a tragedy you don’t have to like him just be polite because of the tragedy. But instead they’re all GAWD I have to go fucking TALK TO DEREK. Kicks rock. Man I can’t believe I drew the short straw and have to go talk to Derek.

ok in my headcanon none of the demigods text each other because most of them have dyslexia so instead they send each other voice messages

and sometimes annabeth sends percy literally 20 minute long infodumps about architecture and he plays them while he cleans his room

and there have been multiple instances where percy is running from a monster and is trying to send someone a message to help him and all that comes out is his heavy breathing from running and him screaming into his phone and his friends just come to understand that that is how he will communicate that he needs backup

Just discovered that the hot guy I’ve been chatting with in my philosophy class is the lead singer of the local band I’ve been listening to <3

He followed me on Instagram

He has a girlfriend

We’re getting together to study tomorrow

HE IS SINGLE

We didn’t get much studying done because the conversation was so good and we get on so well!! We had some deep philosophical conversations and shared some religious trauma (this is a class on reason and religion) and we’re getting together again soon. He’s even visiting me at work tonight

​I’m not sure if he asked me out or I asked him out but we’re going out

AHHHHHHHH this is the best thread i’ve seen literally been checking your page for updates

I had this feeling. It took me a while to remember what it was… because I haven’t felt it since before I woke up in that hospital bed. THE WALKING DEAD, 6.09

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh

The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale. the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going. To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang. Appreciate them while they are still here.

I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…

They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.

There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.

That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.

The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.

see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?

those are over a billion years old.

that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?

algae.

those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.

so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.

The earth is unfathomably ancient, and you garner no love from her when you insult her eldest children.

not only that, the Appalachians predate the Atlantic Ocean and were fragmented. they stretch across three continents, as Atlas in Africa and Caledonians in Europe as you can see here:

the Appalachians are way way old. the fossils that ARE found in these ranges are ancient marine beings, whose fossil remains predate the anatomical structures of beings migrating to land for the first time. THAT’S how old the Appalachians are.

show the elders some respect, they have witnessed eons and are returning to the land from which they grew, it’s the kind of the passage of time on a scale that our human lives could not even begin to comprehend.

Give me ALL the geology discourse

we respect Gaia and Her children on this blog, regardless of religious beliefs 👏👏👏

Love how this switches between science and poetry.

so what you’re telling me is that life is old there?

older than the trees?

younger than the mountains, though.

is that what you’re telling me?

sorry for romanticizing the mundane but the fact that laughter is infectious is so incredible to me. like yeah it's just a reaction to stimuli but the way it feels to hear someone laugh and feel yourself compelled to share that joy is really something. and it's so simple and requires no skill but it's so special and important to me.

that summer between botl and tlo,, i feel like percy went to camp but he and annabeth swung wildly from arguing/fighting constantly to getting along (cough flirting cough). approaching annabeths birthday, they got into a big fight and annabeth is kinda upset bc every year, since he found out, percy made it his mission to make annabeth’s birthday a Thing but this year everything is so tense and he’s not gonna be around for her next one (or the ones after) and they’re fighting and he doesn’t care about her and-

and he’s sitting next to her on the pier and it’s sunset and no one is around and it’s quiet and oh shit he’s handing her a present

“happy birthday, beth.”

he’s so quiet and he’s still holding out the present that’s wrapped in the little mermaid wrapping paper that he bought as a joke when they were younger that he insists on wrapping every single one of her presents in and he’s just staring at her with nothing but love and warmth in his eyes, no anger or frustration, the setting sun painting his skin a brilliant gold and a small, soft smile on his face as if they’ve never fought a day in their lives and he’s still holding out the present-

fuck. she’s absolutely fucked.
