Everyone's talking about poc actors playing percy jackson and like yessss amazing should happen totally
But also like
- actors with more diverse body types and features (e.g. Plus size, kids with vitiligo, etc)
Also bc most of the cast are entering puberty or are in puberty, actors with acne
- actors who are gender-noncomforming (mostly like older campers bc im not trans and i cant really speak on what trans experience would even look like pre-puberty or just in general)
-actors with physical disabilities
-actors who actually have learning disabilities (like you know, most of the characters in the books)
-actors with autism
-actors with different religious backgrounds
-actors with different sexualities (i mean sexuality doesnt really factor into acting unless its a huge part of their character but it'd still be cool)
Like this could amazing for actors of all different backgrounds and im hoping rick and the casting directors keep their biases in check. Because green contacts and curly blonde wigs exist so the default doesn't have to be white, cis, able-bodied actors with conventionally acceptable appearances

Teachers: I don't understand why you all don't like online teaching
Also online teaching:
I’ve been listening to an awesome podcast on Spotify, explaining classic Greek and Roman myths in more depth! It’s really good, and I definitely recommend <3

HECK YEEAAAH ~ F L A N N E L ~
wow don’t i love being perceived as straight
thursday needs a meme, here’s my attempt to contribute. it’s thursday and i’m here to help. thanks
I unironically love that the Ides of March is some kind of unofficial tumblr holiday where we bully a dead emperor.
I think most of you know of the war between Russia and Ukraine and how it started today. As a Ukrainian myself, I don't want this war, nobody does. I live in Italy currently but I messaged my friends in Ukraine about the stituation and here are their responses:
-This is absolute madness! I heard an explosion this morning, shortly later there was an alarm and out teachers said to prepare because they would send everyone home. I'm preparing the bags, I'll text you later. (She's a college student)
-I don't know what to do... here in Kiev they're bombarding everything. My wife and kids have our bags ready and my wife's mother told us to come where she is, because the war hasn't started there yet. We would go right now if we could, but what's happening on the roads right now is pure madness. (Said by my Uncle)
-Look, I don't fully understand what's going on. Teachers said that we won't be going to school, grandma says that they will cut out the light and gas, I'm really scared.
-I don't know what to do, they took my son to the front to fight with Bielorussians. I don't want him there, I want him back at home! (This lady was bawling her eyes out when my mom called her)
Please consider that I'm a 14 years old teenage girl and I'm really scared for my relatives and friends there. I'm not asking you to reblog, I'm just spreading awareness.
And to you Ukrainians, stay safe. Хай Бог вас береже.
