omg i nearly forgot i dreamed i was hanging out with thor at a family reunion and showing him pictures of the old friends senior dogs and he was immediately SO invested
like i don’t remember precise words but can you imagine
‘these hounds have the hearts of warriors, EVERY ONE’ ‘look into the eyes of the good captain ron. he has seen hardship and carries himself with dignity’ ‘lacy has the fewest legs yet the most heart’ ‘any of these fine beasts would be worthy to wield mjolnir HAD THEY BUT THUMBS’
The Queen, June decided, was a delightful posthuman being. It was a shame that her son had ended up such a hot mess.
Like the Percy fan artwork by Viria? Think it should be the official art? Me too! In fact I commissioned her to do new character art for my website! Check out the cool portraits she’s done so far, and there will be more to come!
so id like to tell you something, like, in the context of cryptid sightings
specifically, id like to tell you some things about cattle
they dont look like they move fast, but, in fact, they do. they move very fast, and theyre capable of doing so quietly
if a cow is black and has white spots, or if it is white and has black spots, both the white and black bits come together in the approximate shape of a cow
but in the dark, you cant see the black parts, and the white parts do NOT, form the approximate shape of a cow
what im saying is that i have at certain times been walking in the fields on a night with low visibility and i have, at certain times, seen an indistinct white shape zoom past me, and i am at least 95% sure it was a cow. and that if you see a white shape zoom past you in a field at night, it is also probably at least 95% of a cow
my friend rowan is brilliant and you probably know someone who needs this link LET ROWAN HELP YOU
Lesson two, which I meant to make lesson one: If it’s not about you, don’t make it about you. If it is about you, do better.
What does that mean? Well. At some point you’re going to hear a statement like “white women are racist.” Your first instinct is going to be “not me! I’m a good person!” Stop for a minute before you jump in with that comment.
First of all, is it contributing anything to the discussion? No. It’s actually derailing the discussion by recentering it on people having to reassure you that you’re a good person. Remember #notallmen? Don’t be that guy. More about derailing in a second, I promise.
Second of all, I chose that statement for a reason, and it’s about to get real uncomfortable in here so let me reassure you FIRST that I love you and I think you’re a worthwhile person: white people are racist. They benefit from systemic racism whether or not they actively contribute to perpetuating it, and they perpetuate it in ways that are invisible to them because they’ve never had to think about it. That’s a thing you can learn about by not jumping in on that discussion and just sitting and listening for a minute.
