My Face Is Having Uncontrollable Spasms. Great. It Hurts Really, Really, Really Bad.

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

It's a trope I often see in fanfictions: Percy being the reincarnation of a past hero or of a important woman in greek mythology. Say you want to write one of these fictions, but make it Perpollo, who would you choose and why? (Don't have to be an old lover of Apollo of course!)

I really like this trope 👀

Okay, might be my epic brain worm speaking but hear me out, Percy being Telemachus reincarnated. So, let’s pretend that back then when Odysseus was lost in the sea, Apollo and Telemachus were being cosy in Ithaca. In Ancient Greece, Poseidon was like YEAH STEAL THAT MAN’S SON YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT, LET’S MAKE HIM SUFFER!!!

… then Poseidon petty got too close to the sun (ha) and now he’s Percy’s (Telemachus) dad… but guess WHAT!!!! Now it isn’t so fun having Apollo all over your kid, is it?

Points for Athena being like: HEY THATS MY PUPIL

Points for Hermes being like: HEY THATS MY GREAT GRANDSON

Points for Circe being like: HEY THATS MY HUSBa… you know what? Till death do us part. Have fun!

Points if Luke is reincarnated Odysseus.

ao3 comments will be like “i like this line of your fic” and my reply will be like “fantastic thank you here’s my entire thought process about how i ended up with that particular line and also an outline for another fic i have and fifteen resources i used to research 1980s politics” and nobody asked for that chill

Seeing a post that you know a mutual will like and reblogging it to add enrichment to their dash like giving a tiger in a zoo a cardboard box

i think it’s a universal truth that everyone in our generation takes pluto’s losing its planetary status as a personal offense
