'the prophecy' by taylor swift is the most annabeth to percy coded song ever written

That one scene where she’s crying in her cabin and Percy goes and hugs her

I fear some have severely lost the plot on how the foxes are characterized. None of these fuckers are truly softies or pacifists

Yes some of them are kinder than others but when it comes down to it they all know how to be abrasive and how to push people’s buttons. They are assholes (mostly as a means of defense) and that is part of what makes them foxes

They’re especially not pacifists with each other (Dan and Renee are probably the closest but they’re really only trying to keep peace so no one kills each other). They push and prod at each others most sensitive parts with little to no remorse for a multitude of reasons but mostly for enjoyment (and also out of care)

Every single one of the foxes is a fucking asshole !!! Especially to each other !!! Their attitudes know no bounds !!!

I know that people think most of the songs are about M*tty Healy but you can not tell me that The Alchemist isn’t about Travis LIKE ALL THE FOOTBALL TALK, the part about the trophy like be so for real right now

Also, I think that while Taylor is very honest in her songs she’s also a story teller so maybe not every song is gonna be about someone and might just be more of a feeling than an event.

There’s something about Percy spending the whole episode remembering how upset he was with his mother for separating them, but with this newfound understanding of why she did it, and then deciding to leave her (temporarily) at Hades’ palace because it’s the right thing to do, regardless of how much it hurts.

“Hold fast, Mom,” because they’re braving the storm that was made to break them.

Can we talk about Percy seeing his mom in the underworld?

Look at how horrified he is.

There isn’t even a sliver of relief at seeing his mom again. The only thing on his face is wide-eyed terror.

Now look at what Sally looked like:

Did anyone else think that it seemed kind of familiar?

Did anyone else think that it kind of looks like she’s frozen in gold?

Percy saw his mom and it instantly reminded him of being encased inside Hephaestus’s trap in Waterland. Paralyzed and awake while he suffocated slowly and painfully. He’s remembering the panic he felt when he thought he was going to die and how much it hurt when he was freed; Even though he was alive, his lungs burned with every inhale and his head spun from lack of oxygen.

Now he’s putting his mom in that position

It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

what is there to say anymore when the occupier bombs a hospital and kills a thousand people, mostly children, who were already under seige for eleven days and you know nobody is going to stop them. now a thousand people are dead, hospitals are out of power, there is no food or water, and none of us can do anything. egyptian truck drivers are screaming at the border because they won't let them in with aid and keep sending them back. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say. what is there to say.

normally we do not post images so horrible but this is a direct request from palestinians not to look away. this is what they're speaking from. this is what we're letting happen. this will never be forgiven.

Folks have got to understand that they probably aren't messed up by some Secret Big Trauma that they just can't remember; but rather by a million tiny microtraumas that they do mostly remember but don't even register as traumatic because nobody actually understood that these things would cause trauma, much less stack on each other over the years.

Whether you're carrying one big rock or a big ol' bucket of sand, it's going to weigh on you just as much.

This is why psychologists have started taking more of an interest in CPTSD in the last 10-15 years. What most people know as PTSD is a response to a single, intensely traumatic event (or even a series of events). However, CPTSD (chronic post-traumatic stress disorder) is caused by living for years in a situation where your nervous system cannot catch a break. Even if nothing huge ever happened to you, you always had to be on guard for a thousand little things that could and did happen.

After years and years of this, your nervous system gets "stuck" in an activated threat response. It never really lets you rest, and if this started when you were a kid, you may not develop a lot of neural pathways that you should have, because your brain was too focused on keeping you safe to bother with little things like "genuine human connection" and "interpersonal attachment."
