ATTENTION TUMBLR!!

So me and my parents just made a bet that, if this post gets 750,000 notes, I can have a pet bird!

We’ll pay for all the expenses!

All I need is for this particular post to get 750,000 notes, and a bird will be all mine!

My local petstore sells these GORGEOUS blue budgies, and I’m dying to have one

When I say ‘blue budgie’, I mean one like this:

(I got this image off of google, but it is extremely similar to the bird I want!)

Please, please, PLEASE let me have him!!

Like and RB anywhere you can!

Please help me with this!!

so even tho i hate it here i am asking for help… right now i have no money left, i have bills to pay and meds to buy so if anyone could help me with even 1$ it’d mean a lot :(

This is really random and sorry for advance for bothering you but what are oyur thoughts on abused percy?

*hands you the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books*

It’s literally canon that Percy was abused as a child. So I’m not entirely sure what kind of thoughts I’m supposed to have on it - but, my own confusion aside, no you are of course not bothering me, dear anon!

It’s canon and I hate how much it’s being played down.

It’s one of the reasons why I hate Annabeth’s nickname for Percy, because that boy was abused for six years. Not just physically, also emotionally. Gabe belittling him and insulting him is a thing that happened, so I just… I just genuinely can’t see an abuse survivor who has been made fun of for his intelligence - not just by Gabe, but also by Nancy and other classmates and supposedly also by former teachers - would enjoy the constant reminder that one of his best friends thinks he‘s dumb, even as a joke.

It infuriates me that both canon and fanon tend to skip over it. Like, obviously all those years later, Percy does not dedicate every waking hour to it, but… acknowledgment? Please?

The boy has been through shit and shit started when he was six and his abuser moved in with him.

And, honestly, the fact that Sally flat out murdered him is an indication of how bad the abuse must have been. Sally is a good person, a gentle soul. If Gabe had really only been a foul smelling man, she wouldn’t have murdered him.

But the fact that Sally and Percy - Percy, the protagonist who tries to save everyone, including those on the Titans side during the war - team up and decide to murder this mortal… It really does speak of just how bad Gabe must have been, even if we never got any explicit depiction of the physical abuse.

I write about it really very frequently, actually. I usually make a point of mentioning it, mentioning that Percy was abused, that he confides in his lover about this, because it is a vital part of his past, of what shaped him as a person. He survived six years with that man.

I’m still a little confused on what thoughts you wanted to hear though, to be honest. It’s canon and I think there could/should have been more on how they deal with it, but as with every other serious issue, it’s rather brushed under the rug.

anora (2024) thoughts

aaaahhh, sean baker let me kiss you on the mouth. this film had so much personality and humanity. it's both very loud and very quiet. you not only come to root for the protagonist, anora, but you feel so fucking bad for her by the end. and it's a really complicated cocktail of emotions. because she's framed as both triumphant, yet utterly defeated, and the movie doesn't let you sit comfortably with either position. it paints this young girl with such bold colors, yet also shows you the tragedy of having a bright spark, fighting hard to keep it alive, and being crushed by the world around you anyway

and still the film leaves you with a hopeful note that sometimes, someone does notice you. someone, a really unexpected person, will appreciate you. which is why igor/anora!!!! is so good. i love that he's such a soft oddball, but with a hint of menace. and the fact that he's the side character/goon you don't expect to have depths or connect with the plucky protagonist but he doooes, and they work so well. i love that in the end, in a sort of twisted bittersweet way, anora does get her fairytale. there are references to cinderella, and anora dreams of having her honeymoon at disney. but her "prince" turns out to be the guy with the henchman name, and that's so beautiful to me lol. (he even literally gives her a ring at the end!! they were insane for that)

and they really hit those lil romance notes, because he is always quietly looking out for her, quietly brooding in the background, being sad/upset on her behalf, impressed by the way she fights, amused but also disconcerted and worried!! gah. when he tells the family they should apologize to her. ROMANCE.

also this movie is really funny, like verging on farce a couple of times, and it shifts tone all the time, but always sticks the landing, so that the last scene still feels both sweet and devastating even after all the laughs. go watch it!!!

"You're a good boy, you really are! Do you want to go home? Yeah? Wait until you meet Laila and Cat. They are going to love you."

Everyone should know the international sign for Help Me. Let’s make this famous!!

at some point i WILL write a jean/cat/laila pov of jeremy's faser hook up

because like do you think the room was really quiet and intense that night? laila and cat doing their best to keep it light but jean noticeably quiet and watching the door waiting for jeremy to come back. until he eventually gives up and says he's going to sleep and then laila gets jeremy's text and jean pretends to be sleeping but he hears her quietly saying she needs to go get jeremy and he can hear the disapproval and disappointment in her tone. jean hears cat say she'll watch over him until laila gets back and then laila's gone and it's just cat and jean and jean closes his eyes and tries to sleep. pretends he doesn't care. laila will bring jeremy back. everything's fine.

but it's not.

because there's still missing truths and there's the teasing about drugs and parties and jean said he would protect jeremy tonight. but he let him leave. he couldn't force him to stay. what else was he supposed to do. then he hears a quiet knock. cat's up in a second but the door opens. jean gets up too but stays out of sight. he can hear their voices. cat's "what the fuck jeremy?" is all he needs before he's moving, catching sight of bruises on jeremy's tanned skin. it looks wrong. it looks ugly. it looks painful.

he promised to protect him. he didn't.

Made the wish. Will update if it comes true
