If my author blog gets a revamp so does this one! Hey everyone, I’m Cassie Jackson (she/her) and I am a gen z author. This is basically just my chaos blog for my writing account now. I first got Tumblr in 2020 because @procrastinationonvacation is very persuasive. I first started out in pjo tumblr and I guess never really left it so if any of you are from pre July 2023, please feel free to stop by and say hey hey, I would love to talk with you more! I have been off and on since then. I want to be more active on here so here I am trying yet again. For those of you who never left, I love you so so much, thank you so much. To those of you who are new, welcome, how are you?

I am obsessed with anything Rick Riordan, Cassandra Clare, you’ll figure it out as we go along here. Let’s just say I’m obsessed with reading, writing nature, the environment and call it good. I am also obsessed with sports and want to learn how to play as many as I can before I’m too old. Hockey is my biggest sport obsession right now and people, they wear knives on their feet and chase after a rubber puck that can be lethal.

Feel free to get in my ask box and ask me (reasonable) questions and tag me in tag games you believe I will enjoy. I love getting asks and seeing who tags me in games.

Let’s get down to business shall we. Here are my #s:

cassie irl = things happening irl

cassie’s randomness = any post with an image that seems to come to mind

cassie rambles = any thought that comes to mind I want to share with the world sans an image

cassie moot reblog = anything my moot made and I want to reblog

my obsession = does this need an explanation :D

this is so cool = reblogs I have to have on my blog

take one down pass it around = tag games

you asked for it :D = anything from my ask box

nature is amazing = anything nature related I find amazing

STEM major blues = I’m a STEM major, life is hard

okay, in love = this is one of the best things I have ever seen

I feel called out = this hurt my soul

[cassieschaosdimension]

I am 100000000% the type of neurodivergent to use their obsessions as weapons of mass destruction to take down things I don’t like about said obsessions.

i wasn’t going to personally write my own post about the carter hart situation because i feel like so many other people have expressed what i feel much better than how i could, but there are some more narratives and storylines i’m seeing popping up that ultimately did make me want to say something.

a specific refrain i’ve seen in the last few days is that people rooting against vegas because of carter hart can’t in good faith root for carolina, because their organization chose to sign cal foote (even if he is on their AHL affiliate and not the NHL team, the organization did that). and i do think it’s worth pointing out that hockey culture sucks and these teams are not pure of heart — we shouldn’t allow one franchise to sign one of the hockey canada 5 and then never acknowledge it again. carolina isn’t an inherently better team just because the guy they got happens to be worse than the guy vegas got.

employing people of poor character isn’t something unique to one or two teams. nichushkin, quennville, bowman? mailloux, kane, desmith? it runs deep. morality olympics are a slippery slope and to allow oneself to argue that X player/signing isn’t as bad as Y player/signing is a dangerous precedent towards excusing other heinous actions, and is insulting to the victim of the perceived “lesser” injustice. look at every team in the NHL and you’re going to find some bad shit, so it’s bad faith to prop up some franchises as chaste.

that being said, the carter hart story is, IMO, one that very specifically embodies both the vile underbelly of hockey, and the willingness — and eagerness — to brush it aside.

i don’t think that carolina as a franchise deserves to be seen as moral and just, just like i don’t think any NHL team deserves that.

but i also don’t want to watch a player (who, despite the court decision is clearly guilty to me) rise to hero status as he leads his team to a stanley cup, therefore justifying the negative PR that came with his signing and potentially setting a precedent for the league to become that much more apathetic towards situations like this with talent that might belong on a team in a vacuum, but doesn’t deserve to be on a team in the real world. it has repercussions beyond what it says about vegas, and i don’t want to watch those play out any more than they already have.

now, there are other reasons why people dislike vegas, of course. (there are also reasons why people might be a fan of the team despite hating certain things that they stand for — the degree to which they helped heal the community in 2017 isn’t nothing). but i really push against the notion that we can’t dislike the idea of a player being “acquitted” of sexual assault charges and then immediately being thrust into conn smythe contention on the grounds that it means we are automatically disregarding what the other team did. one of these franchises is going to win the cup, but i don’t want to watch that specific player win the cup.

I must give a content warning for those of you who don’t know what’s going on and why people absolutely loathe C***** H*** because it’s the biggest Hockey Canada scandal in recent years. Please take care of yourselves if you get curious and find out this is about SA… Comsider yourselves content warned loves 🫠

When I first looked at the roster for the knights I was shocked because why is HIS name on there?! It seems hypocritical to give him more attention but with Heated Rivalry and Off Campus, hockey is now becoming low key mainstream. I’ve gotta talk about this because this also connects to the USA Hockey men’s Olympic team in a BIG way.

Hockey players from what I’ve seen at games and from what my friend KitKat (iykyk) has told me m they can be some of the most princess people (or should I say Andrew people) in the world. What I mean by that is the stereotype that princesses are all spoiled brats who don’t really care about anyone and believe they can get away with anything because money. Not all royalty is like that, but some are.

I can not believe they let those guy back in with the allegations, the evidence for a freaking TRIAL, and then the verdict being okay so maybe we can’t actually prove x, y, z (look it up if you’re curious) so you’re all (there were 5!!!!!) free to go. People (young men who play this sport) IDOLIZE these players like I idolize Jane Austen and Jacques Cousteau because this is what they want to do with their life. If the kid is a goalie, he is a player they will look up to. You don’t get to be an nhl goalie by bringing horrible especially not decent teams like the flyers. HOWEVER….

I can not condone what management has done because this tarnishes any respect I had for the team for the Mitch Marner trade. They are not only ALLOWING this man to play and earn MILLIONS more dollars than he has, they’re allowing him to play for a Cup when those seasons has been some of the biggest highs and lows for the sport in the US. From Heated Rivalry in the beginning of the season to the men’s team in February and now this in the freaking Cup Finals… I can’t be a true hockey fan and not speak about how disappointed I am in the Commissioner, the NHLPA, and the Golden Knights management team.

It makes no sense from what I know of PR and management to let this guy back in the league AS SOON as his suspension lifts. How in the world is this a good move for a sport so many people with very little extra spending money can afford? It’s already seen as untouchable because of money. Now the culture talk has entered the chat. It needs to change and it needs to start with not letting people like him BACK when they were gone and perfectly content (sarcasm) to life off the money he’s earned in the league before 2022.

I know the players on the knights didn’t have a say in this or maybe they did. I’m not going to speculate here. The players right now are innocent and their careers have been horrendously black marked because they play on a team with him. The culture says forgive him, he’s free and innocent. I’ve studied this culture so much without being a part of it, I decided I could write an actual fictional story from the perspective of a D1 male hockey athlete. Now there is something in the air with people chanting “no means no” at an internationally televised game. All of Canada knows about this case because it made national news for years. Hockey fans know about this case because hockey fans. It sickens me to know some people are okay with this whole situation.

What gives me hope is the fact that some people who go to Cup Final games are diehard hockey fans who won’t stand for this nonsense. I’m sure it made people uncomfortable. Good, we can’t have actual positive change without making people uncomfortable in the status quo. It starts with Heated Rivalry and Off Campus and it continues with “no means no”. Hopefully it ends with accountability, no trauma to young boys (a rabbit hole I’d rather not go down right now), and no more slush funds for covering up things trauma causes.

Thank you for coming to my longer TedTalk, I’ll be going to bed now.

Please bro

“Silena deserved so much better.”

“Ethan deserved so much better.”

“Beckendorf deserved so much better.”

Yes. Yes. And yes.

Every character we lose in the Riordanverse, more than likely, deserved better. But do you know who else deserves better?

The parents.

Silena’s father when he realised she never came back after the battle of manhattan. Sending her that box of chocolates, not knowing that it may be the last time she’d ever be able to try them.

All the other parents to the deceased heroes, realising when winter comes, that their children haven’t returned. That their children didn’t make it that summer.

Imagine the grief and guilt. If they had just had a normal mortal child with a normal mortal partner instead of a god or goddess, then maybe their family wouldn’t be a mess. Maybe their child would have never died fighting monsters that shouldn’t exist.

Maybe some parents don’t even know that their children are demigods. Take piper for example.

Rest in peace to the fallen heroes and fallen angels. But it hurts even more when you remember they had parents. Siblings. Family.

Anyways, thanks for reading my thought dump. I just thought of this at 3AM when I couldn’t sleep one night and safe to say, I got quite upset. It’s horrible to think about but I wonder if anyone else has ever thought this.

[aaaaalice]

There needs to be a mortal parent support group for real

[reefs-camp-blog]

ive probably said this before, other people have probaly said this before, idc

percy is not an unreliable narrator, he just hates himself.

thats it. thats literally the only thing that makes him unreliable. youre calling him 'slow' or 'oblivious' because he didnt realize nico, annabeth, rachel etc. were in love with him? no he just didnt realize that anyone could loev him. because he sure didnt.

percy also always underplayed his own abilities, because he hates himself. he has shitty self esteem, of course hes going to mention only the basics, he thinks hes fucking sucks at everything.

percy is literally one of the smartest and most observant characters in pjo, he can pick up on body language and subtle social cues and notice things about people really fuckn easily and then use that against that percy (read: charon scene in book one), its just that when it comes to himself all that goes out the window because he just fucking. hates himself. he doesnt think hes worthy of literally anything i think people forget that gabe wasnt the only form of abuse he went through pre-demigod life. we hear over and over again just how bad his classmates treat him, people who are supposed to be equals. of course hes going to hate himself, no ones shown him hes worthy of love aside from sally.

SOBBING CRYING

[silveranchor]

I feel like some people oversimplify fans' relationship to the pjo show and think you either have to be a "book purist who hates it because it is not exactly like the books" or "show fan who loves it and thinks it's better than the books and the new canon" and that's just incredibly stupid.

From what I've seen, many "old" book readers fall into "love the show, but recognize it as a separate entity from the books and both are good and valid as canon".

That's how I feel about it too. I like the show and think many of the changes are nice and interesting, and I don't really get angry at them because if I want something to be book-accurate, I'll just get my fix from the books because they're both amazing pieces of media that stand alone on their own and I can like both for different reasons.

As someone in their late 20s who grew up with the books as her favorite series, I feel like I'm too old to fixate on changes and inaccuracies. The actors are doing an amazing job and the show is a great tv series with some really standout moments of great writing. Yes, some of my favorite moments in the books are gone or changed, but I can just read those whenever I want. The show is like reading high-quality fanfiction that I take as alternate canon to me and I'm eating it up.

[faytears]

posts like this are obviously sinister for the way they romanticize eurocentric features, but they’re also fucking asinine because all these show fans clearly think in terms of what would look best on a pinterest board. if you know anything about how poseidon is described in the actual myths it’s also straight up incorrect. brothers we must fight against the aryanification of percy jackson

trying to act like i don't care when i have the most sensitive heart

[s0phslibrary]

I think you can absolutely still have hope while acknowledging we are in multiple forms of collapse. You can be hopeful you’ll get a job. You can be hopeful solutions will arise. You can be hopeful you’ll make friends. You can be hopeful that there are people who care for the world amidst the world being beat and bruised.

You’re allowed to care even though lots of things are going bad. Some things can’t be fixed or saved. But it’s okay to hold onto hope for something good to happen tomorrow. Good things are always going to pop up like flowers in war zones.

“The world is not on fire, there are just lots of fires.” Don’t lose hope that some fires can be put out. So much is still easy. Build a safe zone within the flames, and persist putting them out. Accepting we are in a bad place does not equal rolling over to let it get worse. No matter how bad things will get, you can still put out flames in different spaces.

You can give yourself the freedom of acknowledging life right now is in a state of unrest and we don’t know when the chapter will close, while also being happy we are here with other people and things that make it worth it. Because it is worth it. All hard things are worth it.

Allow yourself gentle mercies that will keep you alive.

[cassieschaosdimension]

I think the art of healing from any kind of troubling childhood should be something like this: “I will do things you might not like because of my troubling childhood and if I burst into tears in your presence it’s not your fault, you unfortunately remind me of a time in my life I may or may not remember.”

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

[frailbug]

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

I’m so tired of the “why do people hate aspecs, they aren’t doing anything?” argument. I know that it is an attempt to support us, but it fails so spectacularly to understand aromanticism, asexuality, and any other aspec identity that it’s actively frustrating.

We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.

There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:

A single income isn't enough to get by anymore

Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system

Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly

Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.

So, no, aces and aros and other aspecs aren't "doing nothing." We're doing quite a lot.

diagnosis: "are they mad at me" disorder

[thepinkpestilence]

more people could identify as asexual/aromantic if they not only knew what that label is but also knew about how wide the spectrum could be. because not every ace/aro person feels the same way and even people who DO have a general idea on what it means, could still be like "yeah no i cant be possibly ace/aro because i feel/do this and that"

[theloverislost]

as we are rapidly approaching pride month, here’s an obligatory reminder!

AROMANTIC PEOPLE

ASEXUAL PEOPLE

AND AROACE PEOPLE

ALL BELONG IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

I WILL REMOVE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE

[cassieschaosdimension]

As someone who is aro/ace this warms my almost cold dead heart <3
