Guys Im Gonna Start Inking The Map On The Big Paper But First,

Guys I’m gonna start inking the map on the big paper but first,

I have overtime begun to accidentally snort while laughing too hard. This is involuntary and it sucks because everyone’s mood is immediately ruined-

Anyway I’m here to say that Rachel also 150% snorts.

She got a nosebleed one time from one while laughing at a silly video. (I can attest as someone with like weak noses veins or whatever there will probably be a moment in time where I snort harshly and get a nosebleed. I hate the word snort by the way-)

Okay I just wanted a break and then I snorted and felt the need to proclaim loudly that Rachel also does because of course Rachel does.

Anyway map probably coming out tommorow or the day afterwards.

Silly Billy on the internet talks about how much they hate minimalism for 5 minutes; a post.

Know what? I was going to go and make the post about Camp Jupiter’s views on powers (which- my synopsis is; they don’t like them, or value them much and they are somewhat like ostracized as something not to be relied on- ties in with a bunch of stuff I’ll explain but yeah-)

But then I got a giant spike to shout to the rooftops about how much I hate minimalism.

Sure minimalism is whatever and whatever. But you know what it is? The rich man’s aesthetic, it’s ruined so much of interesting things simply for the measure of trying to look more expensive.

There was a rant I once went on about how I hate modern architecture. But this adds on to my hate of the Minimalism umbrella. It takes away any life that has been put into homes and sucks it dry. Like- look at some of these photos,

I’ll be honest I pulled these off of google, do I have background knowledge. No? Do I have the innate urge to sob and give up on humanity when I see them. Yes. The removal of these beautiful and graceful architectural styles is (also the removal of a lot of history and important parts of history because architecture plays a big role on that and blah, blah, blah) icky. I don’t like seeing this ultra-modern architecture, it makes me feel nervous when I see Seattle and these beautiful historic buildings and worry that someone with big pockets and a ego will go turn it into giant glass tower because of whatever stupid reason.

Please, minimalism makes me feel gross and I refuse to like it. Am I too upset at the moment to form a solid argument, yes. Do I want to come onto my tumblr where everyone probably agrees with me and argue to the brick wall about how much I hate minimalism, no? But am I feeling irrationally angry at any minimalistic, modern aesthetics, modern high art (you know the type of modern high art I mean, I’ll be honest I don’t like abstract pieces-)

I am a biased source because I personally am 6-feet-under in the opposite direction for maximalism, (it’s not hoarding, please look at maximalism beside minimalism and tell me what looks better. I know that’s personal opinion but this is my i am very upset about something that isn’t just a fictional book series moment) along with just older styles. I don’t like modern architecture.

Anyway on that note I love what they did for the big house in PJO tv show and it is amazing and every set makes me so happy because it directly makes me giggle and kick my feet and like hainensnfksjdbfjsjsnfjs. I love it and I want more people to build in the same vein as them because I garuntee they look 10x as better than the awful black and white box mansions.

Also I have a family friend who works in architecture and like making houses and I cry everytime they bring me to their next work site and it’s this beautiful building that is amazing. I remember being brought to an old run down 1910s-1940s era farmhouse and being really excited only to come back maybe a year later and finding a sickening black and white monochromatic farmhouse nightmare that I genuinely almost sobbed at.

But I love my family friend and the work she and her husband do and that to a degree it’s also client opinion but like- she makes a lot of the choices for these things and the next time I am brought out to their project sight I will be sitting there strongly encouraging to fight against the oppressive hand of minimalism. That was extreme, but I really like architecture, never talk about it- but genuinely one of my favorite things in this world is architecture and interior design

(If anyone cares my current favorite building is the La Sagrada Familia that is being constructed in Barcelona.)

Anyway that was a angry rant because I just got very upset for no reason over current western (I live in america and therefore don’t speak for the rest of the world, but in regards to the U.S.A which is Tartarus trust me) mainstream trends and culture deciding to lean into this minimalism clean era, which has been influenced by a myriad of things (see I can use myriad in a sentence- only know the word because of Heathers: The musical lol-)

But I’ll be posting that Camp Jupiter powers post… at some point when I write it. I hate minimalism and I pinky promise that I have more interests outside of Percy Jackson.

Guys!!!! I like never talk about school buuuut,

I got Secretary on my Drama club council! I’m so happy, our director said I did a good job :]

Also we’re gonna do a Beauty and the Beast production, fingers crossed to get LeFou when we audition!!

Anyway i have a Octavian HC post down the line, and a brief update on the map because I’ve done the 2nd and 3rd passes of Camp during science today (we were watching a video don’t worry)

But yeah! That’ll be down the line and probably posted later today!

I’m on the bus and one of these kids pulls out a full tub of vanilla ice cream

Newest renditions of Camp Jupiter

Map!

I was chugging along in my Science class while we sat through a video and I decided to work on it a little more. I’d like to say this is the final ‘I’m just winging it guys on the draft based on my current knowledge’ type sketch. When I get home I’ll work on the last finishing touches and then I’ll get it on a bigger paper and all Inked out :]

Some obvious things here is stuff like the gate placement and whatnot. But from all I’ve read and chose to interpret as such (and not have other buildings randomly across the via principalis*?*) and if I remember correctly many recreations of maps for these legionary camps (that I’ve taken inspiration from) they do similar things, (as shown below),

Of course these are just reference pictures- I took my creative liberties and also looked through actual written articles and stuff, but I figured I’d also mention the whole Principa thing because it confused me too but for the sake of the map looking nicer and whatever I’ll follow along the more historical angle.

But the map should be officially drawn out, labeled and stuff before the release of the PJO tv show!!

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Guys. Guys I just liked one post on TBOSBAS(? The ballad of songbirds and snakes I’m frankly too tired to go look at the accepted abbreviation) and now I can’t escape it

I’m not the funny career districts guy I’m the funny Camp Jupiter guy :[

When I get home I’ll probably read it

(There are bets that I’m placing that I’ll walk out of that book going ‘Y’know, Snow was my favorite’ because with all the wild stuff going on in my favorites characters lists I know myself enough to be able to guess that.)

If anyone wants to know Cato, Thresh, or Foxface were my favorites in the 1st hunger games book.

*guys I realized I was accidentally on the for you feed. I am not tumblr savvy and now I have gone back into my Camp Jupiter shaped cave.
