Thank You For Coming To My Ted Talk - Tumblr Posts

okay so i was thinking about jj maybank's cabin in PJO and a part of me might say poseidon because he's so closely linked to water and is "the best surfer" according to john b. HOWEVER i would like to suggest aphrodite as apart of that because c'mon....look at him. blond. blue eyes. tanned. in shape. shit eating grin. if this man even looked at me, i'd hyperventilate. this man also knows he's fine. so i don't know if there is any other possibilities (someone said apollo once i think) but that's my two cents.

writers who write the same themes and tropes 🤝 readers with comfort tags

One thing in movies/shows/books that always upsets me is when they use the wrong names when in reference to Primordials/Giants/Titans/Gods/Demigods/Legacies.

It's such a specific thing to get upset about, but it upsets me nonetheless.

Like, when they focus on Greek myths and use 'Hercules' instead of 'Heracles' or 'Cupid' instead of 'Eros' or referring to Hades as the God of the Dead. He's the God of the Underworld. Thanatos is the personification/God of Death.

Or when the focus is Roman and people forget that Pluto is not only the God of the Dead, but also the God of Wealth and Agriculture.

Another is when the focus is Norse and suddenly, Loki isn't messing with people. Or Hella is Loki and Thor's sister instead of Loki's daughter. Also, Norse Gods *can* be killed in combat. Other Pantheons cannot.

Lets not forget that all of the Creation Myths are botched in some way or another. Same with Destruction Myths.

Anyway, I do love a lot of media pertaining to the different Pantheons (like Rick Riordan's stuff and Disney's Hercules) but that doesn't mean that the tiny little nitpicks don't get me riled up.

(Another thing that upsets me is when everyone conveniently forgets that pretty much every deity in every Pantheon holds more than one position)

If you haven't watched FMA 03, then you have exactly one week to watch it before we can no longer be friends.

If you refuse to watch FMA 03, then we can no longer be friends.

If you tell people to skip FMA 03, then we can no longer be friends.

If you have not seen Conqueror of Shambala, then you have exactly three hours to change that before we can no longer be friends.

Guys, you know the whole “James’ type is people who are mean to him” thing?

I think it’s because they make him feel like a real person.

I am forever pushing the “James struggles with feeling like a real person agenda” and I think that initially Lily/Regulus genuinely didn’t like him as a person and that is what made him initially attracted to them. James is one of those “everyone loves him, he’s a literal ball of sunshine” people. But James is nothing if not a people pleaser so he’s always trying to be someone that people like and sometimes he’s not sure that the person he is, is real or just an act.

But they don’t like the person that he shows everyone (because they can subconsciously feel that something is off with James). And no one (excluding Snape and people he doesn’t like because he’s not performing for them) has ever told James that they don’t like him.

So he tries to win both of them over but it doesn’t work because he’s trying to win them over with this not-real-person side of himself and he only wins them over once they see the real James. So by not liking this fake person and seeing through his mask they’re inadvertently helping him learn how to be himself and not be putting on a show all the time.

Aren't we all?

i am. so gay

Reblog if you honestly have NEVER sent anon hate.

It pains me that only 14,000 people can honestly reblog this

This isn't a myth, btw, it's propaganda. A prime example of "history is written by the victors." As in, they deliberately spread this narrative as the founders, so that their ways would be not only accepted by every new generation, but unilaterally defended because anyone saying the truth would be viewed as a bigoted liar wanting to oppress and condemn the Puritan's pursuit of religious freedom.

Thomas Edison, for example, is taught to be revered as a great innovator and inventor. "The father of electricity," who should be admired. You know what they don't teach you about Mr. Edison? That he was a literal sociopath. As in, textbook definition, not an exaggeration. This man electrocuted animals on stage (in front of live audiences), in order to "prove" that Tesla's AC (alternating current) was dangerous and could kill your pets or children. He would go on to kill 44 dogs, 2 calves, 2 horses (you can see the animals are growing in size which was meant to prove an adult human could die as well). Meanwhile, he was having his team kill all of these animals with his own direct current. It was all a desperate ploy to win the "Current War" and be the one making all the money. The extra messed up part is that AC is more efficient over longer distances. They were working together until Tesla revealed he didn't want to charge people for electricity and Edison set out to destroy him, also backing out of paying Tesla the 50k he promised him if he could fix the issues with the DC motor. When he did fix it and expected his compensation, Edison said: "You don't understand American jokes," and didn't give him a cent.

All of this was hidden from American citizens until it was forgotten because there was no proof it had happened. They literally don't even teach you that Nikola Tesla existed in most American schools. Topsy the elephant was the first film recorded animal death in history (also Edison but after the "war"). In the end, Tesla sold his patent to Westinghouse and AC won. (lol)

Thomas Edison is still credited as this admirable individual, "the inventor of the lightbulb," which he didn't invent but merely improved. And the reason it's taught that way, without revealing the truth, is sugar-coated tyranny, which is the flavour of capitalism and the basis of American politics, which all started with the puritanical lies about their history.

Fun fact: The one thing Edison did invent, after all that slaughter, was the electric chair. He's the reason such a barbaric method is used (still to this day in some places), yet we're taught to view him on the same tier as Benjamin Franklin or Albert Einstein.

This is just one example of this, but you can see the country being founded on rape, genocide, and every other horrid thing done being justified by religious propaganda and the victimization narrative spun by the persecutors seeping into every aspect of American culture.

As someone with an invisible disability (ADHD), I think it’s incredibly sad to see possible representation taken away, even if it’s not something I have. “Oh b-but! But he has the treatment that lets him walk!” Do I have to spell it out for you??

My man Charles is PAR👏A👏LYZED! Permanently!And also canonically has chronic pain! (In the movies, at least) For fs, let that actually be canon in a way that represents it properly! Marvel already BSed their way out of paralysis with War Machine in their movies, if you ask me.

Honestly, it’s just heartbreaking and frustrating to see this happen over and over again. Even ‘97, the most recent TV-show/film adaptation of X-Men, doesn’t handle this correctly!

Again, I know that my opinion on the matter isn’t particularly relevant to the issue, seeing that I myself am not physically disabled in any way, but seeing the representation of his disability getting erased constantly makes me upset.

I understand where the disappointment comes from when x-men fans don't see Charles portrayed as physically disabled. But doesn't even x-men comics portray him that way at some point? Remember when he transferred his consciousness to a body that could walk? And other times which I'm too lazy to mention btw. Marvel loves to make him walk and comeback to use wheelchairs over and over again.

HELLO! :D

This is probably the only thing I'll ever post.

I just want other people to know that I'm not a bot.

Have a good day/night <3

I almost didn’t reblog this because I was staring at it forever and couldn’t think of an adequate response- and then I realized that’s kind of exactly what this is about???? I mean it’s obviously not exactly the same thing but I think it stems from a similar mental process- the “hmmm i want to do something but i don’t know how to start or i feel overwhelmed by the tasks attached to it so i guess i’m just stuck here” (or at least in my experience, I can’t speak for op or anyone else!)

anyways, this is very on the nose and i appreciate it a lot and i will sneak past that original mental wall and reblog it!! thank you very much

Stuck.
