I love how she just slips in the fact that she thinks he'd do something stupid
I KNOW THE EXACT FUCKING PAGE NUMBER AND THE PLACEMENT OF WHERE THIS LITTLE THING IS ON THE PAGE DO YOU THINK I'VE READ THAT BOOK TOO MANY TIMES?
NOPE. WITH UNCLE RICKS BOOKS, ITS NEVER ENOUGH.
I just finished reading The Ballad Of Never After, and I only have one thing to say:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Smelling like the person you're with is such a soft form of intimacy. My hairtie smells like your perfume because it was on your wrist. I smell hints of you in my apartment cause we spent the day together. I get a whiff of you when i move because I was all tangled up in you today. How cute is that.
Humans Are Weird
So there has been a bit of “what if humans were the weird ones?” going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather?
What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all “SCORE! Earth like world! Let’s get exploring before we get out competed!” And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just … there… counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving.
To paraphrase one of my favorite bits of a ‘humans are awesome’ fiction megapost: “you don’t know you’re from a Death World until you leave it.” For a ton of reasons, I really like the idea of Earth being Space Australia.
Earth being Space Australia Words cannot express how much I love these posts
Alien: “I’m sorry, what did you just say your comfortable temperature range is?”
Human: “Honestly we can tolerate anywhere from -40 to 50 Celcius, but we prefer the 0 to 30 range.”
Alien: “……. I’m sorry, did you just list temperatures below freezing?”
Human: “Yeah, but most of us prefer to throw on scarves or jackets at those temperatures it can be a bit nippy.”
Other human: “Nah mate, I knew this guy in college who refused to wear anything past his knees and elbows until it was -20 at least.”
Human: “Heh. Yeah everybody knows someone like that.”
Alien: “……. And did you also say 50 Celcius? As in, half way to boiling?”
Human: “Eugh. Yes. It sucks, we sweat everywhere, and god help you if you touch a seatbelt buckle, but yes.”
Alien: “……. We’ve got like 50 uninhabitable planets we think you might enjoy.”
“You’re telling me that you have… settlements. On islands with active volcanism?” “Well, yeah. I’m not about to tell Iceland and Hawaii how to live their lives. Actually, it’s kind of a tourist attraction.” “What, the molten rock?” “Well, yeah! It’s not every day you see a mountain spew out liquid rocks! The best one is Yellowstone, though. All these hot springs and geysers from the supervolcano–” “You ACTIVELY SEEK OUT ACTIVE SUPERVOLCANOES?” “Shit, man, we swim in the groundwater near them.”
Sounds like the “Damned” trilogy by Alan Dean Foster.
“And you say the poles of your world would get as low as negative one hundred with wind chill?”
“Yup, with blizzards you cant see through every other day just about.”
“Amazing! when did you manage to send drones that could survive such temperatures?”
“… well, actually…”
“… what?”
“…we kinda……. sent……….. people…..”
“…”
“…”
“…what?”
“we sent-”
“no yeah I heard you I just- what? You sent… HUMANS… to a place one hundred degrees below freezing?”
“y-yeah”
“and they didn’t… die?”
“Well the first few did”
“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE???!?!?!?”
My new favorite Humans are Weird quote
“PEOPLE DIED OF THE COLD AND YOUR SOLUTION WAS TO SEND MORE PEOPLE?”
aka The History of Russia
aka Arctic Exploration
aka The History of Alaska
‘But surely you have records of volcanic activity doing tremendous damage to human settlements.’
‘Yep. Pompeii is legendary. Entire cities went. Towns buried under lava, peoples’ brains boiled in the first rush of heat, loads more killed by falling pumice.’
‘ah, good, they learned their lesson and didn’t build there again.’
‘…well…’
‘Are you seriously telling me this volcano is legendary for killing several urban conurbations and you built on top of it AGAIN?’
‘In our defence it hasn’t actually done it since.’
‘What about earthquake-prone areas? Tell me you’re at least vaguely sensible about those.’
‘Oh yeah. After the first major earthquake that flattens a city, we build them better.’
“So you’re saying that the air in these areas can kill you. Physically, not chemically. It just moves… how did you phrase it? ‘Stupid fast’?”
“Yeah, pretty much. It can pick up livestock, dismantle structures- it’s bad news.” “That seems frustrating, to have such wide swathes of otherwise habitable land rendered unlivable.”
“What’re you talking about, unlivable? Nothing a storm cellar can’t fix.”
“A… storm cellar. A room dug slightly below ground level.”
“With a door, yep.”
“Your atmosphere can without warning violently pick you up and fling you- and your buildings- and your response was to dig holes?”
“…we put up sirens, too.”
“To warn the other humans to get into their holes. Very prudent.”
I literally cannot imagine how dull some scenes would be without Coach Hedge.
I love how she just slips in the fact that she thinks he'd do something stupid
It's amusing to see how dense some godly characters are throughout PJO. They say something stupid, a demigod says a sarcastic compliment, the god ignores the sarcasm and takes the compliment every time.
I'm currently reading House of Hades and is it just me or are Jason and Piper not getting enough romantic scenes?
The beginning of House of Hades.
A cliff- what????
Rick sure knew what he did there.
As a kid I didn't get it, but persassy is real.
........at this point I'm not even surprised
Pretty much sums up the entire series, doesn't it?
LMAO SO ITS NOT JUST PERCY
Gods, does it just keep getting worse??
LMAO SO ITS NOT JUST PERCY
Just started MoA and this has got to be my favourite line in the whole series.
Why is this so damn accurate
I just watched hotarubi no mori e for the first time??????? And this scene?????? My heart????? Ouch
