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.

This, this is the post I was talking about

Hold on, let them cook

This has the potential to be one of the best fics I’ve ever read

Ok so I just remembered that the Lotus Casino cards were limitless and that Percy, Annabeth and Grover had AT LEAST two left. Can you imagine -

Percy: Yeah I bought Dare enterprises. Now you can turn it into an environment friendly company in revenge.

Rachel: I thought you were joking…? Where did you even get the cash -

Rachel lowkey thinks Percy committed murder so she asks Annabeth who confirms it so now Rachel just rolls with it cause she trusts their judgement to kill the billionaires

Rachel: I know you won’t tell me details but this has been keeping me up at night. How did you even get into the billionaires house -

Annabeth: We obviously took Mrs O’leary

Rachel: Obviously… Right. My bad.

Plus, at some point Annabeths like you know what I can run the world better and not make these stupid mistakes.

Percy: Can’t we just buy out all of these companies? We’ll be the CEO’s right?

Annabeth: Hold up you’re on to something.

So they just end up like taking control of half the companies and Grover’s just there like

Grover: I just want to pay other people to clean up the oceans for once.

Annabeth: Actually -

So that’s how Grover ends up paying humans to clear the beach and ends up having an early retirement. It’s even funnier if you think about how Annabeth knew how to drive a helicopter.

Annabeth: When you said you wanted to hang out this is not what I had in mind

Percy: Do you want to leave then?

Annabeth: …no

Look they’re kids with unlimited cash they’re going to get up to shit

AAAAAAAAA

Friendly reminder to all the writers on here:

You don’t owe anyone good writing.

You don’t owe anyone a complete storyline written in order.

You can jump around. You can abandon projects. You can write really shitty stories! Writing is about telling stories and creating worlds. Not about what makes your followers happy.

I have to remind myself of this a lot, because in most of my stories I’ve gotten stuck and don’t know where to go. But you can jump around. You can skip parts. It doesn’t matter.

Write what makes you happy.

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

Here’s a tip I learned

Whenever you want somebody to shut the fuck up, just go wide eyed at one point and say “shh!”.

Look around with fear, whisper with as much genuine sounding tremble as you can “did you hear that?”

DO NOT ANSWER WHEN THEY ASK WHAT YOU MEAN!

And when your preferred time of silence is over, just go “nevermind…” and never mention it again. It fucks with them on a hilarious level.
