thinking about percy in botl finding a different solution to cleaning the stables bc he felt bad about the idea of throwing his weight around and pressuring the river spirit. thinking about him feeling bad about getting worked up and cleaning elissons river. thinking about him trying to avoid getting angry at eudora because it's not her fault and she's trying to help. thinking about how much of the pjo universe operates on the rules of "i am stronger/more important so you must do what I want" and how hard percy tries to circumvent that and how hard he works not to be a bully

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

i love when i reblog a mutual's post and then they immediately reblog one of mine. it's the closest thing to sharing orange slices you can get on this website.

the fact that pro-monarchy arguments have degenerated, over the past few centuries, from “the king rules by divine right and is accountable to nobody but god”, to “uhm the royals generate a lot of income from tourism” will never stop being extremely funny to me

[ratlicker1917]

the monarchs… bad. but the castles? oh, the castles are positively lush with rats… 👅

some people will be like "ah yes, purity culture comes from the puritans, which were fanatic Christians, so purity culture comes from christian doctrine, and the two are basically synonymous", and then unknowingly praise Christians for expression the counter-christian ideas of... grace and forgiveness and not needing to be perfect.

[purpleisnotacolor]

alright people throw the term around a lot but what I've generally seen people to mean by "purity culture" is:

the belief that sex dirties you (even if you're married, it's just considered okay to be impure then)

therefore anything to do with sexuality should be hidden or avoided

something that is dirtied or damaged cannot be fixed again

an implicit or explicit understanding that pure things are more valuable than impure things

therefore the highest priority is maintaining purity. if you fail, boo hoo.

and this attitude is present in a lot of christian communities, but it's still wrong.

christian doctrine is:

sex is good and sacred, reserved to a man and woman in marriage.

it should be concealed to express it's sacredness, not dirtiness (this is open to cultural variation.)

redemption, salvation, forgiveness, etc. God makes things that were once bad, dirty, and broken into things that are good, pure, and whole.

human beings, from the most virtuous to the most evil, are unconditionally loved by God and more valuable than anything else on earth

the highest priority is having a good and close relationship with God

[purpleisnotacolor]

I also see people trying to counter it with what I'll call "impurity culture"

sex is dirty, but that just makes it edgy, interesting, and cool. any restrictions and standards are for squares

things that are pure should be dirtied and the dirt flaunted everywhere in celebration

something that is dirtied cannot be made pure again

dirty flawed things are superior to pure things, which are basic and boring and need to be transcended

the highest priority is deviating from purity, which is where you get your uniqueness and therefore your value from

"The devil always sends errors into the world in pairs--pairs of opposites…He relies on your extra dislike of one to draw you gradually into the opposite one. But do not let us be fooled. We have to keep our eyes on the goal and go straight through between both errors. We have no other concern than that with either of them.”

-- C.S. Lewis

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.
