Percy not letting annabeth sacrifice herself for him at the gateway arch has me crazy cause like,,, they don't know it yet but he is going to hold up the sky for her
In all seriousness though---
Korra got a ton---and I mean a TON---of hate, for daring to be a headstrong, non-genderconforming woman of color. So forgive me if I don't react well to "korrasami doesn't deserve it"
Korra already fought through enough misogyny and racism while it was actively airing. She already got enough criticism for not being the "target audience" of 8-12 age males who buy action figures. She already got enough criticism for having flaws as a woman, for not "acting ladylike". She already got enough criticism for not being white or white passing in a show that has ZERO white characters. So when you come at korrasami fans with "they don't deserve it"? Don't be surprised when korrasami fans look at it with a lens of suspicion, because korrasami already fought through the criticism, already fought through being stuck in the "dead slot" air time in nickelodeon (which they were moved to in season three, when the show runners actively started hinting at a wlw ship), already fought through being pulled off air and onto online viewing only, in 2014, for those of you who are a bit young. (Obergefell vs Hodges, the Supreme Court case which legalized gay marriage nationwide in the US, happen on June 26, 2016). "They only held hands in the finale" because that's all they could get away with at the time. They were the FIRST. Bubbeline came later. Rupphire came later. Catradora came later. There are still no notable mlm ships in children's media, so the work ISN'T done. Korrasami fans "screech and yell" at you for not understanding because you accuse them of "queerbaiting" without understanding that they were the FIRST in their time to OPENLY hint at being gay on a a children's television network. In a time, for most intents and purposes in the US, being gay was still ILLEGAL.
And by the way? The Owl House, a recent, animatec children's show on Disney, was recently canceled for not being "the Disney brand". It features a bisexual woman of color (in an EXPLICITLY wlw relationship) as the main character, not unsimilar to Korra. Misogyny is not dead. Homophobia is not dead. Know your history, and know the work isn't done.
I'm basically drawing everyone at this point djdjdj
If you live in a swing state, please properly consider your role in this election. Remember to distrust the polls, the projections - the presidential election will be infuriatingly close. Nothing is set in stone.
Please think about your queer friends and family, your community that includes people of colour, disabled people, poor people, immigrants. Evaluate the true historical value of what a protest vote does - compare it to the two candidates, one of which will be the president at the end of this final stretch.
Your vote matters. Please, treat it like it does.

"Cecil would want Sans to win" "Sans would want Cecil to win" you fools. you buffoons. Cecil would want his husband Carlos to win
I think perhaps one of my favorite things about Sally Jackson.
Is that she teaches Percy that Medusa was the victim. Not defending Poseidon or Athena.
Alluka has always been odd to me.
She was weird in my eyes because I couldn’t comprehend how “normal” she sounded and acted when she got released from her so-called room after all these years.
Like yeah no zoldyck is actually sane in the head no matter who it is but it still made me wonder how long has Alluka been locked up. Cuz it’s been more than just five years, it must’ve been a whole decade.
We may not exactly know when she got locked up but we can still estimate the answer.
And to do that, we’ll need Killua’s and Alluka’s age when Nanika first made herself present since Killua is a year older than Alluka.
It was explicitly said that Killua was forced at the age of six to battle in the martial arts tournament at the Heavens Arena. Once he would reach the 200th floor, he’d be allowed to go back home. He returned after two years which would make him 8 at that time.
We know that he couldn’t have been eight years old when Alluka got put in isolation because the flashback with Mitsuba (Nanika’s first victim) had Killua looking way too young to be 8.
Meaning that all the events that transpired due to Nanika’s victims and their bloodshed must’ve happened when Killua was exactly 6 years old, making Alluka 5 years old at the time.
We can also conclude that the year this all took place in was in 1994 thanks to the manga’s timeline.
So now that we know Alluka got locked up at the age of 5, let’s also see how long she has been in isolation for.
Alluka was born in 1989, got confined at 5 years old in 1994 and got released by Killua in 2000.

“Sooo, you’re just going to trust him with your car?”
“Yeah.” Danny said in just as disbelieving of a tone as Sam. “I think he genuinely means this as like a payment for saving his butt regardless of, you know, everything.”
“I didn’t think Dash of all people could change.” Tucker chimed in
“Same!” Danny exclaimed, almost flinging his sandwich as his arms came up in emphasis.
“Oh come on, did he really change if he’s just doing this to make himself feel better? He hasn’t even apologized about anything.” Sam countered.
Sam did believe people could change for the better. Or worse even. She just didn’t think Dash made it into this category of person. She believed he was destined to peak in high school, play college football and never shut up about his glory days to his wife and 2.5 kids. To say she was still suspicious was an understatement.
“Honestly Sam,” Danny started, pointing his sandwich at her, “I don’t think I care if it means saving 500 bucks.”
“I can’t argue with that.” Tucker mumbled, having already taken Danny’s side of the whole thing but not wanting to face Sam’s irritation.
She rolled her eyes, “Just don’t expect much of him.”
“I don’t. I just expect him to fix my car.” Danny replied. With a shrug, he continued, “And worse comes to worse, if he messes up my car I can just fly or ride my bike until I save up enough to have a shop fix it.”
“Oh! By the way, Tucker” Danny said, turning to his friend. “I’m not going to be able to give you a ride tomorrow. I don’t want to drive my car right now if I can help it.”
“All good dude.” Tucker responded nonchalantly. “I don’t exactly trust your car right now either.”
“I can take you.” Sam offered.
“Yes please” Tucker accepted. He didn't love getting into a hearse-ever- but it was better than the bus.
The bell rang in the distance, signaling the end of their lunch hour. Danny took the last two bites of his meal as the trio started packing up their bags and headed in to finish out the rest of the school day

Hello!
So this is just a little extra bit for fun. Not much happens, but I felt like it was important to see Danny updating the crew, so you know that Sam and Tucker get kept in the loop (for the most part. Danny's didn't share Dash's gay bit)
Also- the hearse- I was reading a fanfic (I'll try to find it) where the author mentioned Sam drove a hearse and I latched onto that immediately. It's too perfect in my opinion
I have part 5 outlined and 3/4 of the pages paneled out, so I'm still on schedule for getting it up by around tues/wed time
Glad ya'll are still enjoying this silly idea. See ya next week

y’all know that fresh prince of bel air episode where everyone but Will gets on the Oprah show so Will just keeps asking passive aggressive questions about nephew abandonment from the crowd? that’s how i want Jason to let the family know he’s alive.
like, he’s wanted to get onto that show for YEARS. he’s TOLD Bruce about how much he loves the Oprah show. and Bruce is like ‘oh i know her, maybe one day we can go :)’ but then he fucking DIES and gets sidelined with all the LOA Joker Red Hood crime lord fuckery he has going on and the family no longer even knows he’s alive. so fast forward he finds out that the entire Wayne family is going to be appearing on the Oprah winfrey show to commemorate the death of their darling lost son and brother. WITHOUT HIM. and Jason Todd, legally dead Jason Todd, is keeping his identity a secret for a REASON Jason Todd, is fucking PISSED.
Bruce, Dick, Tim, and Damian smiling at the audience:
Oprah: and our next question, sir what’s your name?
Jason, glaring daggers from the audience: Todd Peters.
The family: *smiles slowly drop into a look of horror as a clearly recognisable Jason Todd leans into the microphone*
Jason, arms folded: yeah, i got a question for Bruce. hypothetically, if you had a real kind, happy son whom you claimed to love with your whole heart, and you KNEW he wanted to be on the Oprah show, would you let him go? or would you wait until he was declared legally dead so you could go without him?
Bruce:
Everyone:
Damian: father that reminds me i have something to tell you-
