Saw these right next to each other and I don’t know how to feel

“i’m guessing you don’t want me to mention that little scene to annabeth” god i miss beckendorf

“you mean all these years, i’ve been asking about this stupid prophecy, and it’s been right there around her neck?”

“she’d always been cute, but she was starting to be seriously beautiful” percabeth my HEART

paul’s reaction to mrs o leary in the living room is so enthusiastic

“thanks for not freaking out”

hades tells nico that bianca would’ve done a better job of getting percy to the underworld

HADES SAYS MULTIPLE TIMES HE WISHES BIANCA WAS THE ONE TO SURVIVE

“it was a lot more dignified than, like, my armpit or something”

can we talk about the parallel between percy in the styx hearing annabeth say he “isn’t getting away from [her] that easily” and percy saying “you’re never getting away from me” to her before they fall into Tartarus bc it makes me So Emo

percy killed 200 of hades’ soldiers like it was nothing

silena knows a lot about magic

annabeth offers to stay with percy to activate plan twenty three and gets met with “no detours, you two”

yeah we’re pretty sure he just does it so he can fuck with people who piss him off but he’s weirdly competent so we just let him keep going

watch as i illegally get there on a raft of skellys while dressed in light clothes and a denim jacket

Love the puns from Pun Hub

Different Stories Resonate with Different People

Ok what’s homestuck, actually do I want to know what homestuck is and if so what is it. This isn’t a joke I’m just confused

i mean Assassin Creed syndicate kinda has this with your main base being a train that travels around the map and you can use to get around, the on problem is there’s also fast travel but if you’re going to a new area without fast travel points yet sometimes it’s best to just ride the train

I am BEGGING for an open-world game with a functioning train or tram.

Like, you actually have to wait for it in real-time, physically step on, then wait for your stop with the ability to actually explore it and chat with the other riders

No loading screens

And when you aren’t on it, you can look over and see it doing its route without you, picking up and dropping off patrons whether you’re there or not

please i need a video game that captures the joy of free public transit

Something I noticed while rereading Scythe is how much incredible technology is just kind of not noted or in the background besides revival and corner turning. One example is how the incredible nanites aren’t talked about a lot but are amazing or how by the sounds of it they have holographic projectors and weather manipulation that just isn’t really discussed.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

this exact idea is really well done and mentioned in the short stories “The Road Not Taken.” and even more so in “Herbrig-Haro” both by Garry turtle dove they’re both really good check them out you can find them online and they’re pretty quick read

Faster-than-light space travel as a concept is fun to me because everything we’ve observed in the stars is how the universe was a long-ass time ago, so in a sci-fi setting where FTL tech was just invented, there could be all sorts of crazy developments that could be found by traveling through hyperspace or whatever. Try to visit a star system, whoops it isn’t there anymore. Try to go close-ish to a nebula, whoops there’s a bunch more stars here now and this trip is more dangerous than we estimated. Or better yet, a planet with intelligent life on it, the light caused by which won’t reach earth by normal means for about another million years. Thought you’d be going to an ocean planet, turns out it’s got small continents and terrestrial life now. Huge amounts of space travel would be based in predicting what the star systems you see will probably be like in such and such many years, and hoping you predicted correctly when you finally make the jump. Actually, with an FTL engine, one could theoretically take advantage of the speed of light to travel a certain number of light years away from our solar system and study it from afar, as a way of observing the history of our planetary system from before humankind even existed! How wild is that?
