Suddenly had this idea and now I desperately need someone to animatic this:

Hatchet Town from NPMD, except it’s Camp Half-Blood in the aftermath of Beckendorf’s death and the discovery of there being a spy among them.

Fuck zodiac signs, what’s your favorite cephalopod?

I’ll go first: either the blue-ringed octopus, the mimic octopus, or the colossal squid.

Oooh, fuck, this is giving me ideas

Welp, time to open up the ol’ google doc and outline another thingy instead of working on my WIPS

HOUGH I NEED a fic with TOA Apollo (god of truth, prophecy, medicine, hunting) having a stint as a Private Investigator in a very overdramatic, eccentrically “him” way with Meg McCaffery as his partner (and muscle. And person with connections to the Triumvirate’s whole crime deal) being assigned stuff by the police being rude and nasty who clearly just want him to incriminate someone specific / close the case / cover up their shady stuff, so he goofs around, casually breaks reality and mocks old detective shows and Film Noir stuff to mess with them and generally waste their time and money BUT comes to the actual conclusion with incredible detail and accuracy so that they can’t COMPLAIN or argue against him AND THEN is very purposefully empathetic, gentle and efficient with cases for other people who are looking for and need help (in a very Columbo way. ACTUALLY OML INSTEAD OF REFERENCING HIS WIFE APOLLO CONSTANTLY REFERS TO HIS HUSBAND HYACINTHUS AND IT’S VERY UNCLEAR WHETHER HE’S ALIVE OR NOT (TOA paradox of Hyacinthus tuxedo)!)

it works really well! He would:

have good knowledge of analysing a crime scene bc medicine,

find people and put himself in suspects’ shoes bc hunting,

interrogate very very easily bc truth (again mostly he just messes with the actual culprit),

have hunches about where they might be bc prophecy,

be dramatic enough to loudly announce twists,

knows plenty of interesting people to “know a guy” (other gods, his children old and young, exes),

be beautiful enough and slutty enough (with love) to sustain a romantic subplot / inevitable tension (divorced) with “guys he knows” that he must dramatically call in despite their “complicated past” because he has “no other choice”. I could go on.

and Meg constantly resisting his dramatics and as the plot convenient way to resolve any emotional drama with Apollo (“but Meg, what if he hates me!” “Shut up. Do it.” “Okay! 😊”) and stop him going off on tangents if he drifts TOO far. It’s great!

One crucial thing to know about me is that about 70% of my headcanons are either chosen or conceived solely on the basis of “Wait that’s fucking hilarious, that’s canon to me now.”

i am about to create an au SO self indulgent. the target audience is 1 person and that person is me

Best of luck, madlad

STOP SCROLLING!

Oka, I plan on following everyone on tumblr

literally everyone

Please reblog so I can make this happen

Wait…

It’s only 15?!

I really thought it was older

ao3 turns 15 today

reblog if youre older than ao3

(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)

Real footage of me working on Come Morning Light

me as a writer

M o o d .

me when my disabilities disable me:

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Sooo, I can’t stop thinking about this, and I had another idea:

Penelope and Anna:

This one can only be completed once Odysseus’s bow has been obtained. The twelve axes are scattered across the map (don’t rely too much on memory, the winions can move them), and you must find each one and shoot through it. However, don’t dawdle; the whole time, you will be relentlessly pursued by the spirits of most of the suitors. Once you’ve shot through all twelve axes, the suitors’ ghosts will fade, and you’ll be able to enter Penelope’s room, where she will give you a thread from the shroud she spent twenty years weaving.

However, DON’T attempt to enter Penelope’s room until you’ve completed this task. If you do…

Telemachus and MICO:

Like some of the others, Telemachus can be reasoned with if you show no sign of hostility, and has a 50/50 chance of dropping a hint that may help you survive an attack from Athena or Odysseus. However, if you attempt to enter Penelope’s room without having previously completed her challenge, he will appear, unrelentingly hostile, and thanks to Athena’s help, he’s not an easy opponent to fight. The fastest of all the mortal characters, he can unleash a flurry of blows that are very difficult to dodge, and hiding’s not very useful either, with Athena’s Quick Thought being able to help him spot you if she is within a certain distance. Good luck getting ahold of a copy of his double-headed spear.

One more idea:

Antinous and Ayron:

I didn’t have as much of a concrete idea, but I thought it would be kinda funny if there was a thing that if you run into Odysseus or Telemachus while being pursued by him, they will drop everything to attack him instead, giving you an opportunity to secure the arrow that killed him.

I'm currently sleeping deprived and bored, take this thing my goofy ahh brain came up with earlier

EPIC: The Horror Game Saga!

(What if the Epic the musical characters hunted down their respective voice actors?)

Congratulations! You've all just finished voicing for the hit Greek Mythology musical, EPIC! That's a wrap everyone! But wait… why are we suddenly in a palace? The objective is simple. Collect certain items seen throughout the story of EPIC, and you'll get to go home! Just watch out for the characters you and your cast voiced. Let's just say some of them aren't too happy about what they've gone through, and it looks like you're their next target.

Most characters will directly attack only their designated voice actor. But that doesn't entirely mean they won't attack someone else, either. It all depends on who you encounter.

Odysseus and Jorge:

Keep your head down. Whatever you do, keep your head down. Duck behind and underthings, stay silent, and please: AVOID THE TORCHES. It's likely he will aim if you're near a light source. Remember: Odysseus knows every inch of his palace, and he's not one to forget his own creation easily. Stay out of his way as much as possible, and have fun trying to collect a copy of his infamous bow.

Athena and Teagan:

Athena will appear harmless, but it's all an act. She's testing your awareness. DON'T. LOOK. AWAY. That's exactly what she wants you to do. She moves when you aren't looking, and she's fast. You must keep your eyes on her nearly at all times. Remember, she has a blind spot now, and you might be able to use her partial blindness against her. You'll have to use your wits and awareness to get her helmet.

Zeus and Luke:

He'll be watching from the skies, watching everything that's happening. He's one of the few that waits outside. Avoid standing out in open areas. (No item to collect yet.)

Poseidon and Steven R:

He's lurking in the water. Whatever you do DON'T GO NEAR THE WATER. Don't touch it, don't look at it, don't even breathe near it. He's in every form of water, and as long as you're away from that, you'll be okay. If you get caught, you get a 50/50 chance of surviving. The only way you'll live, however, is to become ruthless. You may end up having to sacrifice one, if not multiple of your teammates to retrieve a copy of his Trident.

Hermes and TROY:

Surely Hermes just wants to help… right? Well, it's 50/50 if he'll help you are not. After all, he's here to cause all kinds of drama. Occasionally, you may receive useful items, something to help calm the other characters. Other times, he'll give you something completely useless, or even potentially deadly. It's a gamble whether to trust him or not, and that's what makes him all the more dangerous. If you entertain him enough, he might hand over a copy of his sandals.

(More to come when I think about it)

I showed this to my sister and she literally took out a d20 and had me roll for psychic damage

i wish i was joking when i said i dreamed that my house gate had a bisexual flag with the bazinga kid's face with a text saying 'penis'

ON THE FLOOR ABSOLUTELY DECEASED 😭😭😭

This is literally how half Nico di Angelo fanarts look like

It was an accident :(((

Snacking with mama

It has now been 86 years to the day since Bianca and Nico entered the Lotus Hotel in the TLT musical

Have a celebratory meme!

Can’t stop picturing Lester doing CPR while yelling-singing Stayin’ Alive

Not in an angsty way, just in a stupid funny way

Like he’s just sitting there doing this while the Arrow of Dodona is in his ears going “THOU HAST MISTIMED THE BEAT OF THY SONG! SHALL I AWAKEN THE SPOTIFY FOR THEE?”

Meg’s just in the background dancing, then Lester’s voice cracks and she falls over laughing

Kayla walks in dragging Will with her

Will takes one look and goes “Dad, he literally doesn’t need CPR, you’re just gonna break his ribs for no reason”

He stops.

They never speak of it again.

Dammit

Ah, fridge horror my beloved

the best fanfic is born of some weirdo thinking far too hard about the source material

Scary Percy this, Scary Will that (don’t get me wrong, I love Scary Will)… y’know what I’ve yet to see anywhere? Scary Frank. And let me tell you, that is a shame. Because like, this man has the potential for some literal horror movie action.

How could you do this, that was nearly banished from my brain

does anyone else remember being terrorized every single commercial break by the madagascar 3 trailer on every single cartoon channel in 2011-2012

Grandpa’s Gonna Sue the Pants Off of Santa

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

Definitely something people should know

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

*Hides conspicuous antelope tracks leading directly to me*

Man, could be any of these

Re-blog this if:

- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.

No one will know which applies.

Consider: Apollo kids who can stop injuries from healing. Blood won’t clot, skin /bones won’t mend, even nectar only works for a brief moment. Fighting them’s pretty tough if they can make you bleed out from a papercut.

Consider: Apollo kids being able to unheal people. Like, they can touch someone and just, reverse the healing of wounds, like causing scars to revert back to fresh open wounds, or making someone’s bone unmend until it’s broken again

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

I’m almost done with a new chapter but I can’t get my brain to brain about it, someone please motivate me
