Honestly Looking At The PJO Fandom I Realized A Thing.

Honestly looking at the PJO fandom I realized a thing.

Whenever I see a post talking about/enjoying a non canon ship, there’s usually one person or more saying “Uhmmm, [insert canon ship with character(s)] 🔛🔝” and I get it, sometimes a canon ship is your go-to. It’s canon and usually very sweet and healthy with the PJO series.

But one thing people need to understand is that fandom is about everything about its material, canon AND fanon!

Ship those characters! Make that character AroAce! Make Percy a transgirl or genderfluid! Indulge in a certain rare pair or even a common ship! Not everything has to be completely canon if you write about it/draw it. That’s what fandom is for.

Fandom is for the fans to make things they enjoy and stuff they wish happened in the material, or they don’t even wish it happened in the material and just want to write about it! It’s really just fictional stuff, it isn’t gonna hurt anybody.

But I’m well aware that boundaries are different, what I might consider a harmless ship might be something someone considers erasing a part of a character’s development with their canon partner.

But what I’m getting at is please for the love of Rick Riordan just don’t interact with a thing you don’t like that isn’t harming anyone and is just fun for the person/people doing it, this implies to all fandoms.

I don’t care if it doesn’t make sense since the characters never interacted that much/at all. What’s the point of shipping something if it’s revolving around the same pairing over and over again?

It doesn’t matter if it’s something as bizarre as ShowTime from TADC, or Lillow from TOH, or Percico from PJO, or even the animatronics from Sister Location. It’s 👏 Just 👏 A 👏 Dam 👏 Ship 👏

Even if you were to continuously harass the content creators you see for them, somebody is still gonna do it. No way of preventing it no matter how hard you try. So just let people indulge with their silly little fictional pairing that isn’t canon, and you can move along your merry way with your canon silly little fictional pairing.

TLDR: Let people ship non canon things if it isn’t doing harm, even if said characters are already in a canon relationship. It will happen even if you harass people for it.

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

Wrong fucking post

For the love of god, people who are talking about Palestine and current events PLEASE CLOSE THE REPLIES!!!

It’s nothing more than p0rnb0ts and fake accounts paid by Israeli starting fake arguments and actual Zionist’s being fucking cowards in the replies.

Make sure if a Zionist has something to say about Palestine, they have to reblog it. Make everyone who follows them or sees their page know what they’re doing.

Pointless arguments in the replies are the worst. Even more so when it’s from bots and brainless zionists who can’t open a history book for more than two seconds.

The only reason I downloaded tumblr again

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore

who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”

at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it

This is a friendly reminder to never, ever publish your book with a publishing company that charges you to publish with them. That is a vanity press, which makes money by preying on authors. They charge you for editing, formatting, cover art, and more. With most of these companies, you will never seen a cent of any royalties made from sale of your book. A legitimate publishing company only makes money when you make money, they will never charge you to publish with them. If a company approaches you and says "Hey, we'll publish your book, just pay us X amount of money," tell them to go fuck themself and block them.
