Ok, I wanted to talk about Annabeth being the reincarnation of Odysseus.

First of all, yes, Annabeth and not Percy. Here's why: they have the same fatal flaw (hubris), fight in similar ways (relying heavily in words and tricks), as well as this comparison being made in the Sea of Monsters itself several times, in which Annabeth (Odysseus) calls herself Nobody (again) to the Cyclops, is the one that wanted to tied herself to listen to the sirens (I know that part was changed in Epic, but let's pretend not for the sake of the intention of the comparison in the book), etcetera. In addition, I know Percy going insane when someone hurts Annabeth is something the whole fandom agrees, which is something he and Odysseus share, but let's be honest, Annabeth does not play about him neither. I would say she went even more nuts about him missing in HOO than he did when she went missing in Titan Curse. Percy could also totally be Penelope, considering their loyalty.

That being said, what I wanted to focus on this post is Athena, and how she made the same mistake again with another version of her protégée, this time her daughter. If we consider that the events of Epic are what happened in PJO, not only Athena (or Minerva, so close enough) abandoned Odysseus again in The Mark of Athena, but she said to Annabeth that she wished Odysseus was there because he would understand the map (that's a line about that in the book). She compared Annabeth to Odysseus, not realising they are the same soul.

Also, if the events of Epic happened in PJO, then it means Athena gave up of creating a world where people held each other with a little more empathy, like she said she wished to do in "I can't help but wonder". She had probably tried for a few centuries, became kinder. I even think that might be why she started to have demigods children: to a child of Athena to be born she needs a real connection with a mortal, which she didn't allow herself before Odysseus. However, with the pass of time (my personal belief is that the Romans treatment towards her would be a main factor in that), she went back to be colder. She has a ruthless father who didn't support her mission to be kinder and told her to be away from her kids, as well as humans who didn't pay her the same respect as they used to.

Then it came Annabeth, this child, her child, who is her favourite, and part of that it's because she reminds her of her favourite champion, her first friend, even if she doesn't acknowledge that. Unaware to her, they are the same person, and this time she's his mother. This version of Odysseus looks up to her so much because her mortal family couldn't understand her and she still carries the admiration Odysseus felt towards her, but without any of the bad memories.

And yet.

Yet Athena breaks her (his) trust again. Yet Athena disapproves Percy (Penelope), who in any life, Odysseus (Annabeth) would do anything for. More than that, Athena is one of the main reasons that Annabeth took so long to accept Percy as the love of her life.

So Annabeth (Odysseus) resents her again, and when Athena realises who her daughter is (because I am sure she would eventually) it's already too late. She made the same mistake, and she can hear a voice in her head calling her "Selfish and prideful and vain", but this time, this voice sounds like Annabeth's.

Hey do think the reason why Donald looks so messed up is because of 1). Him and Cecil were ambushed by Flaxan Invincible. 2). He protected Cecil so that’s way he could call the Reanimen on him? Also I love your work :D

First off thank you so much!! I appreciate the love and support. I'm fixing to get out of the writers block I've been stuck in so expect more stuff soon!!

Donald is an absolute saint and would laugh at death in the face. I would not doubt he was protecting Cecil because he knows he can be rebuilt while Cwcil can't. Donald is just that guy and it's why i love him so much.

I think the reason I like writing Faith fanfic over any other fandom is just because of how open ended the game can be. Every single choice can play a factor in how John is characterized. From the successful ability to save everyone vs the inability to even save yourself to even the simplest choices like Lisa or Garcia can affect who John is as a person. So yes, the exhausted pathetic wet dog of a man in "In Astaroth's Name, Amen", the sniveling coward feeling sorry for himself and completely helpless to his own misery in "Father Ward, Curse His Soul" and the snarky father trying his absolute goddamn best not to murder his husband in "Nuclear Family" are all the same John Ward. All because of a few slightly different choices

So I was informed that someone is making +18 edits of work by mine and another Epic animator BrittPowwPixel, passing it off as if the original artist created it. The whole first minute of the animatic plays normally, but the ending is edited.

That’s… very weird. I mean, yeah, people on the internet will always be freaks, but why make it seem like the original artist did it??? Look, I have nothing against nsfw art, my problem is people doing that without consent and respect. A basic, "hey can I do this?" would be fucking nice to hear sometimes. But then make an edit and then make it like I or BrittPowwPixel did it.... Yhea that is messed up. Esepcially BrittPowwPixel case cuz their edit was on their Hold Them Down animatic. That is even more fucked up.

I found out about this because some Epic fans and religious ppl on TikTok saying I made an NSFW animatic of Odysseus and Circe. This explains a lot about why I sometimes get anons in my inbox yelling at me for making Odysseus sleep with Circe in my animatic. And I was just sitting here like, "What the fuck are you talking about???"

It even explains why I get sometimes youtube comments about (then I didnt know) refereing to that edit. I was so confused on how someone could watch my There Are Other Ways animatic and think they had sex and liked it????

Also, for those who haven't got it yet, I haven’t posted anything on that Rule 34 site. All my art was reuploaded there without my permission and even tagged it on my name. I never asked someone to make my name a tag on there. And now, with people making edits and passing them off as originals, all I can say to the one who made it, fuck off.

Can I assume your friends call you Doc Ock? — My friends actually call me V. My enemies call me Doc Ock.

...and then jayce b. parker got thrown around the room for 20 minutes and didn't even try to help ekko morales steal the hextechmax head scientist viktor octavius's computer

thank you twitter user LEXHTTPS111 for planting the seed of doc ock viktor in my brain. i will be thinking about this for the next seven years.

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

Cw: panic attack/breakdown

Sometimes you just need to stand on a rock and howl.
