sharks as mlp characters!
mack - twilight sparkle will - rarity misa - fluttershy dickie - rainbow dash graf - applejack eky - sunset shimmer asky - twilight sparkle cherny - starlight glimmer
had a lot of fun making this! hope it isn't too niche lol (and if you have thoughts on other sharks i'm open to suggestions!! might make a pt. 2)
a little late to the party but I’ll never stop talking about how good they all looked in this episode, all four dogs never stood a chance
The reason I have no problem with the Pjo show or Pjo books or the fanarts where they draw them like in the books or like in the show is because I see them as two separate entities. They are 2 parallel lines 2 me. It's the same story, but it's happening in two different ways, so even if I compare them all the time, I see the book characters different from the show characters and my feelings towards them are completely different.
Let's take Percy for example.
Book accurate Percy (dark black hair, sea green eyes) is one of my first fictional crushes. One of my OG book boyfriends. That is the guy who grew up with me and whom I adored. I see fanarts of Book Percy and go "Oh hell yeah, that's my man!"
Show Percy (sandy blonde hair, sea blue eyes) is like the son I biologically gave birth to. That's my child whom I'm watching grow up, and I would fight the world for him if it means he's safe. I see fanarts of him and go "That's my own son right there."
"Based on" does not mean word-for-word accurate and that's why the show is perceived as a parallel universe in my mind and why I adore both people who make fanart of the books and the show.
Give life to my favorite characters in whatever medium you like. The joy they give me will never change
Idk just percabeth who are best friends first and being in love is an added bonus.
percabeth with inside jokes because they know everything about each other because they grew up together. Percabeth who saw each other through their worst teenage phases. Percabeth who did those dumb internet trends for shits and giggles, who play pranks on Grover or Jason or Clarisse or whoever. Percabeth who do dramatic re-enactments and pretend to have blow out fights for the drama just to mess with people. Percabeth who spent so long jokingly proposing to each other, even before they were dating because people kept commenting on them working well as a couple, to the point where neither really propose when they’re being for real, they just agree to it one day and tell everyone. Percabeth who argue about planning the wedding because they love each other and are just as excited for the wedding as each other but their first instinct is to argue, as it has been since they were 12 years old. Percabeth who put the most random inside jokes into their vows that only they and maybe Grover find funny. Percabeth who are completely on the same wavelength but not because of soulmates but because they just know each other and love knowing each other.

How The Nocturnal Bottleneck and Nipples Make Us Human
Almost every post here considers what humans do have, really. It’s a little tiring; realistically every world has its harsh environments and vicious species and a sophont to match. We probably wouldn’t be unique for our adaptability or our persistence or even adrenaline
But our evolution is fucked up as hell, to put it lightly.
Mammals went through what’s been dubbed the nocturnal bottleneck essentially since the start of the mesozoic right up until the Cretaceous ended the archosaur’s exclusive hold over the daylight. We lost a lot of things from every mammal spending most of its time in either a cramped, suffocating burrow or scrounging around in the faint hours of nighttime. Our blood cells lost their nuclei to hold more oxygen while we spent time deep underground, we lost protections against ultraviolet rays in our skin and eyes, we can’t even repair our own DNA using the light of the sun. Most aliens probably wouldn’t have such traits unless their evolution followed a very similar path to ours. They’d be able to see ultraviolet and wouldn’t have to worry about sunburn and all the wonderful privileges essentially all fish, birds, amphibians, and reptiles enjoy as we speak.
There’s also what we gained from spending so much time in the dark.
Brown fat is only found in mammals, it’s a special type of fat which bear cells with several oil droplets and are utterly jammed with mitochondria. This lets it make heat, a lot of it, fast. We don’t even need to shiver to induce this heat generation from brown adipose tissue - factor in our downright hyperactive mitochondria, and we can warm up quickly. Sure, it doesn’t have too much use in adult humans, but it keeps our infants warm and still provides a little boost the whole run we have in this universe.
Unless aliens also went through a time where their small ancestors had to face cold nights, they’d have to produce heat the old fashioned way when chilled. Aliens might have to shiver the whole time they’re in a cold room while the human watches in confusion, quite literally unshaken, and wonders if the room is a lot colder than the thermostat set to 60 says. The aliens stare at their companion in confusion, it’s just a normal temperature to shiver at after all, how is the human sitting so still?
Our small ancestors spending all their time out foraging at night is also why we have such a good sense of touch, smell, and hearing. They were more important senses than vision (we’re lucky to have even redeveloped basic color vision, frankly) at the time and place and simply ended up continuing to serve us well. Birds and reptiles rarely have acute senses of smell and the latter especially are lucky to have acute hearing, and birds rarely have impeccable hearing themselves either. Our skin is free of scales and honed to sensitivity, and our external ears and complicated ear bones provide an immense range of hearing (from 20 all the way to 17,000 hertz!).
Aliens might not be able to pin down the chirp of a cricket or the light click of a lock being picked. The human might be the only one on board a ship that can pick out the finer sounds of the engine’s constant thrum and know the critical difference between when everything is fine and when something is wrong. The human could probably pick out the sounds of an approaching enemy’s careless footsteps - they’re only as light enough for *them* to stop hearing them, after all - and be the one to see the horrified expression (well, more on that later) on their face when we get the drop on them in spite of their perceived stealth.
But perhaps the most versatile, convoluted, amazing, and utterly unique trait we have is right on your face this instant. Lips.
Lips in most animals are a simple seal to hold in the mouth’s moisture and protect the teeth, even if they’re supple they’re NEVER muscular except in mammals, and we have only one thing to thank for it; milk and nipples. Lips evolved exclusively to allow babies to suckle, it required a vacuum to be created in the mouth, and with no other animal having anything like a nipple it never happened in other animals. Many animals make milk, to be frank, but no other animal has nipples.
Your cheeks and lips are a marvel among tetrapods, no other animal can suck like mammals can. Aliens wouldn’t have straws or even be able to sip from the edge of a glass, they’d have to have a proboscis or simply tilt the whole thing back. Aliens likely won’t have woodwind instruments or balloons you can blow into. We take so much about our lips for granted. Hell, our muscular faces are vital for expressions, we’re probably absolute facial contortionists among a cast of creatures with mandibles and beaks and expressionless scaly maws. Aliens might find us ridiculously easy to read, if anything, compared to their own kind (all the better to deceive them) - or perhaps they’d find us hard to decipher anyways, with our lack of color-changing skin or erectable crests of bright feathers. Baring teeth might not be seen as a sign of aggression in most of the universe, smiling would be all too distinctly human.
Perhaps with how infectious we are sometimes, that’s what we’d contribute to the universe; others might have to make do with opening their mouths just enough to show their teeth or splaying their innumerable mouthparts with just the right curve, but perhaps we’d teach the galaxy to smile, one ally at a time.
Wouldn’t that be amazing?
Here’s my take on Max Jägerman - he is NOT the progressive bully that asks Pete’s pronouns before beating the shit out of him, what he IS is a dumbass.
For example he’ll overhear Caitlyn (Cool Kid™️ so he respects her) talking to Kyle about taking her estrogen and assume it’s a drug and ask for a hit. Kyle and Caitlyn, confused, explain that it’s a hormone girls devolop that guys don’t have to the same level, and Caitlyn obviously has less so takes supplemental doses. Max thinks this means Caitlyn has a medical condition and is like “Oh my god dude I’m so sorry you’re sick? Do you like go to the hospital? Nah I’m not trying to take anyone’s meds my bad bro,” and Caitlyn is too dumbfounded and also entertained to correct him.
Later, in the case that he does not fall and die, Max eventually apologizes to Richie for all the times he punched him in the balls. Richie goes “it’s chill - besides, I don’t even have balls, so it didn’t even hurt as much as you though”. Max is MORTIFIED with sympathy “You don’t have balls?? Oh my god dude how come?” Ruth without a beat says he lost them in a tragic accident many years ago and Max fully believes her. Richie goes along for the bit.
Even further along the line, Max asks about the trans flag on Richie’s bag and Richie explains it’s for people who were born the wrong gender and want to change. Max goes “Wait dude you want to be a girl? Shittt why didn’t you tell me?! Do you have a new name or something like that? Like…Richietta?”
The real progressive bullies, obviously, are pre-Max’s death Kyle and Jason, who apologize before beating someone up and then defend their pronouns in the same breath.
Happy Black Friday to all who celebrate

Tattoos being symbols of innocence, immaturity, and hope in the dsmp.
Niki has a matching tattoo with the L'Manbergians she's spent nights and mornings staring at. Once, it was a way to keep herself going, to remind herself what to believe in—Now, it just reminds her why she needs to be angry. Why she's in so much pain and whose fault it is. She's come close to carving it out of her skin. She never does; she curses herself for it. "Sentimental" She calls it. "Weak"
Quackity and Tubbo have tattoos they hide. Tattoos they got when they were young and stupid, tattoos they once thought were funny but can't find the humor in anymore. Quackity keeps his shirts long and his neck covered to hide promises to old lovers and things he's ashamed of. Tommy and Tubbo have matching tattoos—they weren't the smartest things to get at sixteen. Things like "Big Law" and "WifeHaver." But Tubbo's a father now and not that sixteen year old, so he covers them up. Tommy is hurt by this; he pretends he's not.
Tommy used to be covered in small tattoos. You could find them anywhere. His knees, his shoulders, one on his hip—He loved them. Markers of past events, achievements, and triumphs, he treated himself as a personal canvas. He was so proud. Then he died and came back. They were gone.
Thinking about Fabian who loves his parents with all his heart. Thinking about Fabian who denies any passing comment his friends make that his parents may have been unkind to him. Thinking about Fabian who stands next to Adine and Kristen and feels lucky to have the parents he does. Thinking about Fabian who when asked to think of a moment he was treated unfairly or was angry thinks of the immense pressure to live up to a person his parents told him he had to be. Thinking about Fabian who killed his own father and wears his eyepatch after loosing his own eye. Thinking about Fabian who gave his friends gifts anonymously even though he acts like he loves praise and attention. Thinking about Fabian who tries to be this cool ladies man but fumbles or backs out of romances. Thinking about Fabian who is the most popular boy in school filling his house with other people to keep out the quiet. Thinking of Fabian who is surrounded by love and should feel happy and fulfilled. Thinking about Fabian who doesn’t
jason's 13 years at the super disciplined camp and several years as a leader of said camp mean it is very unlikely that he is any shade of feral, except for maybe a few minor idiosyncracies that all camp jupiter kids have because they all spent time at the wolf house, but since they all have these traits, they might be considered cultural rather than feral. however, annabeth chase, who was famously left alone until she was seven and was raised by an ancient greek horse man that used to live alone on a mountain, a barely sober god of mental illness, several other mythical beings based on animals, and approximately 37 different traumatized, exhausted, and desperate teenagers at an unregulated summer camp where she learned how to be scary by studying greek monsters, would definitely be somewhere near feral.
