Voltron LD - Atlantis: The Lost Empire AU
did you know there are bisexual flowers and they’re perfect
He’s a warrior, a child of Hades, Ambassador of Pluto, the Ghost King, one of the most powerful demigods in the camps. He’s known war and darkness. He’s known withering away, surviving on pomegranate seeds. He’s seen Hell, literally. He grew up in a time where his feelings for another boy would be called disgusting. He only had his sister and then he lost her too. He has known Death.
On the other hand, he’s a 15 year old boy with a little sister and an annoying step-mother and a pet dog. He gets flustered around the handsome medic with golden hair and blue eyes. He plays in two-legged races and carries around a ticket dispenser so people can punch a long lost friend in the arm. He gets jealous when his boyfriend looks at someone else and reassures people that they are needed, right here and right now.
Because despite all he’s been through and all he’s done, Nico di Angelo is still just a teenager. A boy. A demigod.
Anyways this is Zakia Khudadadi from Afghanistan and she won the first medal for the paralympic refugee team by winning bronze in taekwondo.
Rick Riordan is such an underrated author
He is literally an author that give Tumblr diversity in popular books and yet it go mostly ignored. He has featured:
-Interracial couples
-Bisexual characters
-Gay characters
-Gay POC
-Pansexual characters
-Gender fluid characters
-Characters with disabilities (mental and physical)
-Asexual characters
-Children from abusive homes
-Characters with PTSD
-Characters with depression
-Representation of different cultures and religions
-Homeless teens
-Talks about racism
-Talks about the horrible nature of parents kicking out their non-hetero-normative children
-Talks about abusive parents in general
-Talks about the importance of religion to someone’s beliefs
-Talks about how family is important
-Talks about how you are not your family
-Talks about how you can make your own family from the friends that support you
That is probably not every single one but thost are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Rick Riordan makes these concepts important in his books and honestly makes the more complicated ones easy to understand. I know some may consider his books a bit more childish but it’s important to show young readers the different types of people in the world. It’s important to show them that heroes can come in every type of person.
So stop sleeping on him
i want them BACK
Hartley was supposed to be a main character? D:
YES and i’m going to be bitter about it for the rest of my life tbh
the original script for the pilot (which you can read here! it’s fun) had him as a fifth member of team flash. he likes to call barry “our potato” while he’s in his coma, which is so cute i might have to punch a wall.
in this version he creates the flash suit instead of cisco, inspired by a fire-fighter ex-boyfriend (who cisco liked):
he still went deaf the night of the particle explosion, so odds are they were going to have him become pied piper eventually? but whether it was going to be as a rogue or team flash, who knows
also he’s still a rich asshole and i love him
in summary: main character hartley was beautiful and we were all robbed, bring back hartley rathaway 2k17
Utroba Cave in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria. Carved by hand more than 3000 years ago (?), it was rediscovered in 2001.
Archeologists hypothesize that an altar built at the end of the cave, which is about 22 m deep, represents either the cervix or the uterus.
At midday, light seeps into the temple through an opening in the ceiling, projecting an image of a phallus on to the floor.
When the sun is at the right angle, in late February or early March, the phallus grows longer and reaches the alter, symbolically fertilizing the womb before the sowing of the spring crops.
